| WHAT’S COOKING
You can well imagine when I
drove up to FANNY BRICE’S
Beverly Hills home that I would
be greeted at the door by “Baby
Snooks” . . . “Baby” was smartly
dressed in a cotton patio dress in
many shades of grey.When I com
plimented the N.B.C. star on how
lovely she looked, Miss Brice an
swered, “You know this dress re
minds me of what most people’s
POTATO PANCAKES look like
. . . grey ...”
“Aren’t yours?” 1 asked.
“No, I have a special trick,” she
answered. Quick as I could, out
came my pencil and pad ... to
make sure I caught a trick in
cooking new to me.

As I watched Fanny put on an
apron and reached for the meat
grinder. Surprised, I asked her
why she didn't use a grater for
the potatoes.
“This is the secret of my grey
less pancakes,” she answered,
adding that if I kept standing over
her and asking questions, she’d
never finish in time for lunch. I
sat down with my little notebook
and these are the operations I re
corded . . .
First, Fanny ground the pota
toes and onions together, using
the finest blade of the meat grind
er. She put a bowl on the floor
under the grinder to catch the
drippings of the potato and onion.
After the grinding was finished,
she picked up the bowl and
showed me that the residue in the
bottom of the bowl was starch , . .
which she discarded but she did

use the liquid from the onion. Miss
Brice explained that her pancakes
were not fattening because most
of the starch was left in the bot
tom of the bowl. She poured the
juice off the starch that had set
tled and added the liquid to the
ground potatoes and onions.
In another bowl she separated
the yolks and whites of the eggs
and beat the whites until they
stood in peaks. Doing this, pan
cakes were bound to come out
light and fluffy. “Baby” said 1
could see that her pancakes would
remain crispy because of what she
was going to do next . . . she put
each pancake separately on a
plate, explaining if she would pile
one on top of another they would
become soggy, while if air circu
lates around the pancakes, they
would remain crispy.
Before I left. Miss Brice told me
a cute story about Jack Benny.
She was having dinner at the
Brown Derby with the Bennys
one evening and, as a gag, Jack
had the waiter produce the menu
after the check had arrived, car
rying the charge for an order of
“potatoes au gratin.”
“I could have sworn it said “au
gratis,” sighed Benny, folding the
menu up again.

Pepper
1 tablespoon onion (ground).
You can safely predict that
Israel will get the long sought
permission to purchase arms in
the United States before the
summer is over . . . Permission
will be granted by the U. S.
Government if less public pres
sure is applied by various
groups . . .
It is known that President
Truman considers such pres
sure more harmful than useful
and did not hesitate to indicate
his sentiments in this respect
. . . Washington looks with dis
favor on the conference which
the American Zionist Council
has called for early next month
to protest against the State De
partment’s arms policy on Is
rael . . .
But it seems that the visit
which Jacob Blaustein, presi
dent of the American Jewish
Committee, paid to President
Truman and Defense Secretary
Louis Johnson had an effect
. . . Although nothing was re
vealed of the nature of this
visit, it is obvious that the
question of arms for Israel was
one of the main topics discuss
ed .. . Incidentally, the Israel
Government does not hesitate
emphasizing its appreciation of
the efforts of the American
Jewish Committee in behalf of
the Jewish state . . .
Judge Joseph M. Proskauer
has just received—for the third
time—a personal invitation
from Premier David Ben Gur-
ion to come to Israel as a guest
of the government . . .
And Israel’s Foreign Minis
ter Moshe Sharett sent a spec
ial message of greetings to the
Zionists Award Fellowships;

vuos holiday, and that the plac
ing of green colors in the syna
gogue reminded the worship
pers of this day of judgment.
Others associate this custom
with what took place at Sinai
on the day that the Torah was
given to the people of Israel.

QUESTION: Why is the Book
of Ruth read in the synago
gue on the Shavuos festival?
ANSWER: Many reasons are
suggested for this custom.
The season of the opening
verses of the Book of Ruth is
the harvest season which oc
curs just about the time of the
Chavuos festival. The book,
which describes in such beauti
ful detail ancient Hebrew life
at this time of year, is indeed
the one fitted for this festival.
Some suggest that the Book of
Ruth is read because it tells of
a proselyte accepting the faith
of Israel.
Shavuos being the day upon
which we received the Ten
Commandments, was therefore
the day on which we all, like
Ruth the Proselyte, accepted
the faith of Israel. Others claim
that it is read because Shavuos
is the anniversary of the death
of King David. The Book of
Ruth traces the predecessors of
King David from Ruth, his an
cestors.

From where I sit... Joe Marsh
Our "Mayor" is Only
16 Years Old!
Poked my head into Mayor
Howard’s door the other day at
Town Hall and took a second look
in a harry. Sitting at the Mayor’s
desk was “Butch” Carter —presi
dent of the Junior Class over at the
High School.
“Hello, Mr. Marsh,” says Butch.
“Can I help you?” The high school
pupils took over for the day! They
elected their own officers, “ran the
town,” and learned a little some
thing about the responsibility of
local government.
We grownups, too, might some
times take a little lesson in accept
ing responsibility. If you look at
the Brewers’ Self-Regulation pro
gram, you see what I mean. Tavern
owners cooperate by accepting the
responsibility to keep their places
clean and orderly—right up to the
letter of the law—beyond any
possible reproach.
From where I sit, knowing and
accepting our responsibilities
whether in government or busi
ness—is one sure way to build a
better country. The public’s good U
our own good at all times 1
