Which Shall
It Be, Question
Before World
By RUTH TAYLOR
Competition or cooperation?
Which shall it be?
Reduced to it* common denomina
tor that ia th# question before the
world today. It la the dominant
theme of thl* war.
Talr competition ia healthy both
for Individual* and nation*—but it
must be an amicable rivalry with
the loaer ready to accept defeat
gracefully and th* winner holding
out a hand of friendship. The dan
ger lies when competition become*
too keen and degenerate* into a
street fight with no holds barred.
National competition can too eaaily
become destructive warfare.
Cooperation is th* safe and aane I
■way. Had Germany, for example,
spent a small proportion of what
her war of aggression cost her in
building up her peace time indus
tries and in extending her trade,
she could have prospered far be
yond her wildest dreams of con
quest.
Had Italy devoted herself to
peaceful colon.zation, she could
have extended the Roman Empire
beyond the ambitions of any Caesar
—but she cho*e to spend her money
In the pa-ade trappings o' war.
Had Japan played fair in her treat
ment of China, the Japanese would
not now be among the moral out
casts of the nation*.
All that was needed was that they
cooperate—not ndu’ge in under
cutting. land grubbing, theft, mur
der, *nd all the other gangster
methods of cut-throat competition.
It 1* easy to condemn this action
on the part of a ru!.on—but to be
practical we must br.ng it down to
ouf own lives. De we cooperate or
compete? Are we working with our
neighbors or do we try to get ahead
of them by shrewd and sometime
unscrupulous methods' Do wt
want advantages for ourselves alone
or for all people' Do we give an
honest dollars worth of work for
every dollar rece.ved
We need to work for a L ung, not
for a boss We need to think of our
work in terms of what it will ac
complish, not as so many hours
taken from our lives. We need to
cooperate. In that way only w-.1l we
accomplish results
Cooperation ia a Joint action. It
rpeans that all will hav« to freely
ar.a intelligently move together,

Its particular function to fulfil, but

Red Cross Clubmobile Home
On Wheels To Men Overseas
By J. PERICLES McDUFFIK
SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND
<ANP)—I was fortunate enough to
see J. B. Priestley's great play
•They Came to a City,” a few week*
ago, and from it I'm using one
thought in this article; "I’m glad
I’ve been to that city, and I'll tell
others about it.” And that is the
way I feel about American Red
Cross Clubmobile services to the
armed forces in the British Isles—
They're w-onderful I believe it,
because the soldier* said so, and I
want to talk about it.
There are many clubmobiles; the
•‘Ohio,” ''Utah,'' "Missouri,” and 58
others, but Clarice, Camille and
Ruth and I are on the "Massachus
etts,” so maybe I'd better atick to
that one.
Visualize one of those streamlined
Greyhound buses running all over
the states—well, that’s it. Only the
‘•Massachusetts” is a miniature Red
Cross club on wheel*. You walk
through the front side door into
the most amazing little kitchen you
ever saw: Along one side of the
wall is a sink, then this magnifi
cent doughnut machine which turna
out 15 golden brown, sizzling hot
doughnuts every two minutes. Fur
ther along is a cabinet for *tores
of candy, chewing gum and ciga
retts. On the other side of the wall
are ovens that are used to keep the
doughnuts hot. Then the counter,
which opens and closes so that the
soldiers can pass along on the out
xido of the Clubmobile for their re
freshments.
Underneath the counter are rows
and row-* of cups. There are sev
eral large coffee urns, . strapped
dawn on’thc floor. There is the hot
water tank for dishes, cabinets for
flour, sugar, milk and coffee. There
are shelve* overhead, closed or
strapped so that in travelling from
one camp to another over long
winding jolting roads, our supplies
will be safe from falling. And have
wt learned to our sorrow what hap
pens to cup* when they are not
locked tight!
From the kitchen we pass on Into
the lounge through glass panelled
door*. It's just like a living room at
home Why we even have freshly
cut flowers all around. Here we
have a library on ihelves built in
the wall, newspaper racks for home
town newspapers, popular maga
zines and song books There is a.so
writing paper, and stamped bo<k
l*ts all ready for them to mail
home. On each side of the room
are two berths, upper and lower.
Dur.ng the long trip, Clarice, Ca
rr. ille, Ruth and I can re-t Then the
..ppei* are closed and the lowers
-ir used for sofas.
I ha\e seen at least a dozen sol
d e « in this 6 x 5 i oorr. at one time
Tm-rr is a beautiful little oak table
,n the rear of the clubmobile arid
there rests the phonograph machine.
The fe'.tows love it. and keep us
supplied with .suggestions for new
records. At the present time we
have more than 100 records and 100

head for first aid supplies, a large
closet for our coats, and another
cabinet with a standard sized wash
basin—over it is a large mirror
where we can supply that last touch
of powder to an awfully shiny nose,
before we go out to greet the boys.
Generally, we make the dough
nuts at one particular post and then
travel to other posts to serve and
entertain the boy*. So, usually w hen
the windows are open and ‘.he
counters come down, we arc ready
to serve hot doughnuts, coffee, can
dy, cigarettes, chewing gum and
good conversation.
When the clubmobile comes to a
camp ground the soldiers begin to
gather—officers, too. They form a
line that sometimes seems a mile
long—and never dwindle* until 'he
last doughnut is gone And in the
meantime we grin and chat. "Where
are you from?” is a popular and
sure way to start a conversation.
One soldier asked me this question
and I answered "Oscala, Fla.” He
nearly broke up the place. Hire’s a
lady from HOME! When we say
Washington, New York or Chicago,
it brings the same yelps of glad
ness —Here's a lady from home.
The kitchen is usually packed
with soldiers. I'm sure any woman
would object to so many people in
her kitchen, but her* we accept it
and like it. Sunday, there were at
least 15 soldier* in the kitchen, and
yet we served refreshments, washed
and scalded the cups without a
hitch.
The fellows sometimes stand off
and stare real hard—later they’ll
say with a little *igh, "It's so good
to see a woman from home ” Oftep
when I pass a cup of coffee t
doughnuts over their counter, their
hands linger on mine much longer
than necessary (I'm sorry clubmo
bile doesn't have time for a little
more hand-holding for I think It’s
good. Not that they give a hoot
about MY hand, but IT is a sym
bol of some woman'* hand back
home.)
That's why I haven't said any
thing about doughnuts or coffee
making, (for even though they tell
us we make the best coffee and
doughnuts in the world. I doubt it.)
First place, our soldiers don't get
a chance to get hungry I know for
I have eaten in their mess halls.
Secondly, one cup of coffee and two
doughnuts couldn't mean too much
to a hungry man, but w’hen we take
doughnut* and coffee to these
camps, w’ay out into the fur away
hidden places, we take a little bit
of home, feminine service, a ray of
sunshine, and hope We carry all
the things that nr ike tnem deter
m.ned to beat Hitler a.id hurry back
to their women folk and the things
they hold dear.
In sending out the comforts of an
American home on wheels, the
American Red Cro-s has shown sol
diers a new city of love, sympathy,
cheer and he!; fulness. These boys
won t forget it. They told me - \
They'll remember that city through
out eternity!

Mrs. Venice T Spraggs, chairman
of the National Department of Em
ployment of the National Council of
Negro Women, states, in answer to
Liters received requesting jobs,
"The Wartime Employment Clinics
arc designed to help make perma
nent the present employment gains
of Negro women workers by facili
tating their adjustment to their
pre*ent jobs. However, we welcome
any opportunity to be of service
and will gladly refer jobs seekers
to local placement agencies.”
The employment program of the
National Council plans for Wartime
Employment Clinics to be set up
throughout' the country. The 'clinics
will take the form of forums, round
table discussions, panel di*cussions,
open air meetings with communnity
sings, radio presentations, dramati
zation*. and other such means to
point up the employment problems
of women workers.
Employers, as well as employees,
will participate in the meetings, and
an attempt will be made to reduce
absenteeism and problems on the
job. and to improve race relations.
The Department of Employment
of the National Council has distrib
uted materials to its Metropolitan
Councils, affiliated national organi
zations, and to interested persons
and organization heads throughout
the country. Letters have beca re
ceived from Jacksonville, Florida;
Camilla, Georgia, Riverton, New
Jersey: Chicago, Illinois; New York
City, New York; and from many
other cities, large and small. The
enthusiastic response is an index
to the increasing concern and in
terest of Negro women workers in
their Job status now and in tl e
post-war period. One writer «nys,
"I am not a member of any women’s
organization, but as a wartime
worker would like to join some
group that is looking forward to

Canning Tips
For Various
Vegetables
I CAN SEE YOUR PANTRY
SHELVES. There are quarts and
quarts of green beans, because for
some reason green beans always
seem to be the beginning canner’s
No. 1 lesson. Following the beans a
close second are the quarts of to
matoe*. the red and green making
a symphony of good eating for next
winter's dinner tables without
money and without ration points.
And of course there are other things
on your pantry shelves, but there
is one vegetable that will be con
spicuous by its absence from too
many shelves, and that is corn. You
need those luscious yellow kernels
to balance your pantry color
scheme, but most of all you need
canned corn because there is many
a spot it can fill in your menu mak
ing activities. .
THERE is buttered corn, succo
tash, corn for your vegetable soups,
corn pudding (which in my opinion
is really the queen of pudd'ngsl,
corn chowder, a whole meal in it
self, and so on and so on. But there
is no need of going into the virtues
of canned corn unless you are con
vinced that you can can corn. Such
alliteration, but listen, lady do you
know the main reason why other
wise crack canners will tell you
that they can’t keep corn? They />• t
too much corn and not enough liq
uid in the jar, that is the crux of
the problem.
Now there are some vegetables
like greens that shrink in the can
ning process and there are some oth
er vegetables that SWELL during
the canning process and corn is the
main offender So what you have
to be sure to do is give corn plenty
of room in the jar. Then if you have
observed the other u.<ual precau
tions such as good jars with no
cracks or nicks on the edges, new
tops, a perfectly fresh product,
j proper length of cooking period.
\ sterile containers, and still your
1 corn comes spewing out of the con
tainer and smells up your whole
muse, well, please just try one more
a.ne and don't pack quite so much
n the jar. I'll bet your story will
oe different.
Now For the Process
First, please have everything out
of your way before you begin can
ning corn or before canning any
thing else for that matter. Tw o hours
from garden to can is a good rule.
Don t try to save time by gathering
your vegetables ths night before
that you plan to can tomorrow. The
longer your vegetable stands, the
more of the natural sugar changes
to starch, thus lessening the keep
, ;ng qualities by the minute.
HUSK THE CORN. REMOVE
SILK, and cut It off the cob or not
as your like. I cut it off the cob for
I the very practical reason that I
burn my hands cutting it off the
, hot cobs if I leave it on. Plunge the
corn into boiling water and boil i
for at least 10 minutes. Now you i
are ready to pack into your steri
lized jars. Remember what I said
and don't put too much in, cover '
with the water the corn was cooked
in, add one teaspoonful of salt to
each quart. Fasten according to the ,
kind of top you're using and put |
into your pressure cooker at 10 ;
pounds pressure for 70, minutes or
into your water bath for three
hours.
ITS EASY and I hope you'll try
it. Corn on the cob is supposed to
be somewhat easier to keep than
corn out off the cob. Personally. I
don't see that either is any trouble,
but if corn on the cob appeals to
you, pack the ears that you have
first boiled for 10 minutes, cover
with the water you boiled it in, add
your salt, and proceed as usual. I
You'll find the wide mouth jars to ,
be excellent for this, they will hold
four ears.
Then Save Vegetables with Salt
A bag of salt, a 5 or 10 gallon
crock, a cellar 70 to 75 degrees F.—
and you have the setup for saving
those garden snap beans and a doz
en or so other vegetables by salting
or brining. Brining is a safe and
successful way of preserving many
vegetables that will not can safely
'without a pressure cooker. No war
jcarce equipment is required. So
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture advises housewives to put gar
den vegetables down in brine rath
er than putting them up by risky
canning methods.
Improved methods of brining,
worked out by John L. Etcheds,
chemist of the U S. Department of
Agriculture, and Ivan D. Jones of
the North Carolina Experiment
Station, save much of the food val
ue. flavor and color lost in ola
time brining.
Many vegetables may be put
down in light salt or weak brine
and vinegar and then allowed to
ferment for about two weeks by the
GEI WHAT YOU

THE WAY-
By LELA M. HENDRICKS
What kind of letter-writer are
you? You who have relatives and
friends in the armed forces, how
often do you write *.nd what do you
write about? Are your lettera in
teresting to read and do you use
your imagination?
Letter-writing is an art to be cul-
same natural process that produces
buttermilk. After fermenting the
vegetables can be packed in glass
jars and processed in boiling water
as in canning. They will keep safe
ly for winter use. Little or no soak
ing is necessary before using. The
vegetables are simply removed from
the jars, rinsed, and boiled at least
10 minutes. They have a pickled
taste, like cooked vegetables sea
soned with salt and vinegar.
Vegetables suitable for preserv
ing in weak brine are: snap beans,
green tomatoes, carrots, cauliflower,
Rteens like kale, mustard and tur
nip and beet tops. Cabbage, turnips
and beat lettuce can be shredded
and preserved in light salt. Snap
beans, one of the best vegetables for
brining, are prepared by 5 minutes
in steam or boiling water to soften
them for easy fermening and help
hold their color. Other vegetables
are washed and prepared as for
cooking.
To preserve in weak brine put the
prepared vetgetables in a -le in
crock or wooden tub and cover
them with a brine made of a half
pound of pure granulated salt and
a cup of vinegar in a gallon of
water. To preserve by light salting,
sprinkle dry salt between layers of
vegetables using one-fourth pound
of salt for each 10 pounds of vege
tables. Cover the vegetables vith
several layers of white cheesecloth
tucked down inside the crock, then
Aith a plate that just fits inside the
crock, and weigh the plate down
with a stone. The brine should
come up over the plate Remove the
white scum as it forms on the sur
face of the brine by lifting off the
stone, plate and cloth, washing
thoroughly, and replacing. Ferment
ing takes about two weeks. When
the brine stops bubbling, ferment
.ng is finished and the vegetables
are ready to pack in jars and pro
| in boiling water. Pint jars need
;25 minutes’ processing, quart jars
| 30 minutes.

the writer. Last week w# received
a very interesting letter from a
friend of ours, a Detroit school
teacher. This friend possesses a
vivid imagination, (a valuable asset
for an instructor) has clarity and
coherence in her composition.
My friend and her husband spent
their vacation at Woodland Park.
This she described an episode that
she had witnessed.
“A hawk provided one day’s ex
citement. The lord of the chickens—
a mean rooster—began squawking
in a most alarming manner, while
staring up at a particular tree. The
chickens immediately “froze.” Blue
jays circled the trees screaming
their call of alarm. The bluejay is
the alarmist of the forest. When the
other bird* heard the alarm, they
began their screaming, recalling the
young to their nesta. The screaming
took on another note and other
birds began to assemble.
“Finally, when enough had gath
ered, they charged the tree which
the hawk was in and chased him
across the clearing. A sparrow was
on his neck pecking for dear life.
He is the most feared by the hawk
(enemy of birds and chickens) be
cause of size and ability and strike
in a vital spot before the hawk (be
cause of his size) can protect him
self. The birds chased him from tree
to tree and finally across the lake.”
Beautiful composition isn’t it? It
denotes keenness of observation and
imagination. The next time you
write a letter try to use your imag
ination. We shall try to use ours,
too. Thus begins our crusade for
more interesting letters.
