A New Dinner Deal
NOT a New Deal dinner, but a
new dinner deal is what we
are talking about. Times are too
uncertain nowadays for us to eat
up all the money we earn, but
that doesn’t mean by a long shot
that we should eat less well. All
that it implies is a little more
careful planning on the part of
the housewife, and there are a
number of ways in which she is
doing it now.
If she has a mechanical refrig
erator, tor instance, she Is all
fixed to take advantage of the
weekly “bargain specials” in
butcher shops and grocery stores,
and she can keep the food she
has purchased at bargain prices
safe and sweet in her refrigera
tor until it is eaten up. She can
also buy large sized cans contain
ing twice as much food, which
cost usually only a few cents more
than the small ones, and keep
the unused part in her refrigera
tor. These devices may mean
a saving of more than a dollar a
week —fifty or sixty dollars a
year!
Planning Is Fun
Another way she can economize
on food is to plan more carefully
the dishes she will serve, with
price as a consideration as well
as taste and appropriateness to
the other dishes in the meal. It
is real fun and a small triumph
to be able to think up another
dish just as tasty and appropri
ate as the one you first thought
of but costing less. That these
three factors can be successfully
combined, once you get the
knack of it, is proved by the fol
lowing tempting menu devised by
a graduate dietitian to serve to
six people at a cost of only a j
dollar and r

EVERYTHING is going stream
lined nowadays—automobiles,
airplanes, trains, furniture,
clothes and even menus. But,
you can streamline the latter dur
ing these languid summer months
without streaming with perspira
tion yourself over a hot stove.
The method is simple. Just use
canned foods which need little
cooking, and see how much fuel
and energy you save and what
satisfactory results you can
attain.
You can streamline your guests,
too, by making them stream up
to a buffet table and help them
selves to the dishes which you
have prepared with so much ease.
In that way it’s really easier to
entertain fifty people than it
would be to serve fifteen with all
the formalities of sitting down.
A Summer Buffet
Let’s try it. Say someone in
your family is getting married.
Dr say the weather is torrid, but
you suddenly feel that you can’t
wait another moment before be
;inning to repay an accumulation
of social debts. Here’s the menu
tor an appropriate streamlined
auffet:
Lobster Salad Sandwich Loaf
Buttered Clorerleaf Bolls
Pineapple Cream Sherbet Cake
Strawberry Grapefruitade
Coffee
Salted Nuts Mints
And here is the way to. make
delicious lobster salad without
the bother of boiling any lobsters
and in a minimum of time.
Remove the tendons from six
12-ounce cans lobster, cut into
large pieces and marinate in one
Melon and Grapefruit
Cocktail IJ<
Jellied Salmon Mold 464
Maxhed Potato Puff 16$
Railixhes and Scallionx 154
Itread and Butter 124
Blackberry Roll with Cream 344
iced Coffee 124 *
Of course these prices are only
approximate, but as much of the
dinner consists of canned foods
and their prices are more stable
than that of fresh foods, .they can
be taken as fairly representative.
Here Are the Recipes
Melon and Grapefruit Cocktail:
Combine half the contents of a
No. 2 can grapefruit (saving the
other half in the refrigerator to
serve at another meal), one cup
watermelon cubes and one cup
cantaloupe cubes. Arrange in
cocktail glasses and chill.
Jellied Salmon Mold : Dissolve
one package lemon gelatin in one
and a half cups boiling water.
Cool and add one-half cup orange
juice and one-half cup canned
grapefruit juice. When it starts
to stiffen, add the flaked contents
of one tall can salmon, one cup
diced celery and one-fourth cup
diced sweet pickles. Chill in a
mold. Unmold and serve on six
leaves of lettuce with six table
spoons of mayonnaise. This
makes sufficient for six liberal
servings.
Mashed Potato Puff: Beat one
egg, and add with one cup grated
cheese, salt, pepper and one
third cup diluted evaporated milk
to two cups hot mashed potato.
Add one tablespoon butter, beat
with fork until fluffy and pile
lightly into a buttered baking
dish. Dot with one tablespoon
butter, and place j,n a hot oven
for thirty minutes, or until
browned.*
Streamline
Your
Menus
cup tart French dressing for an
hour or two. Then add three
fourths cup finely diced sweet
pickle, three-fourths cup finely
diced stuffed olives, one-fourth
cup finely diced dill pickle, two
tablespoons capers, three cups
chopped cucumber and eighteen
hard-cooked eggs cut into eighths,
tossing all lightly together to
avoid breaking pieces. Add may
onnaise to mask slightly, forking
in gently. You will need for this
from two and a half to three cups
of mayonnaise. Serve on lettuce.
Serves fifty. And there you are!
Plenty of Fruit Juices
Remember that it’s hot, but
there are plenty of cooling fruit
juice3 in this streamlined menu.
There is lots of pineapple juice in
the
Pineapple Cream. Sherbet: Sof
ten three tablespoons gelatin in
two-thirds cup cold water, then
dissolve in one quart boiling wa
ter. Add_ six cups sugar, dissolve,
and let mixture cool. Add five
cups scalded and cooled cream
and the contents of five No. 2 eans
pineapple juice. Freeze. Serves
fifty.
Strawberry Grapefruitade: Boil
four cups sugar and three cups
water for five minutes; then cool.
Hull two quarts strawberries,
wash, crush, add one cup sugar,
let stand for an hour, then add
to the cold syrup. Add the juice
of twelve oranges and six lemons
and the contents of two No. 2
cans grapefruit juice. Just be
fore serving, add three quarts
gingerale, and serve over a large
piece of ice in a punch bowl.
Serves fifty.*
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Social Security Program
A* It Affects Workers
Washington.—The ABC’s of the
social security program just enacted
into law follows:
Old age assistance:
The Federul Government will al
locate $49,750,000 for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1937, and as much
as may be needed thereafter, to
match state pensions to the aged
needy.
The Roosevelt committee on eco
nomic security estimates there are
at least 2,400,000 persons over 65
and in need. How many of these
will be helped immediately depends
largely on the states.
The Federal contribution is limit
ed to sls a month. If a state pays a
pension of $lO the Federal Govern
ment will match it with $lO, making
a total of S2O a month. A state
could pay more than sls if it desir
ed. Thus, if a state granted a $25
pension, the Federal Government
would contribute sl6, making a
pension of S4O a month.
Until 1940 states may refuse pen
sions to those under 70, but after
that 65 is required age.
A needy person living in a state
for a year preceding his application
or for any five of the nine preceding
years will be eligible for a pension
there.
Thirty-three states now have pen
sion systems. Officials hope others
will adopt them soon to take advan
tage of the Federal contributions.
Contributory Pensions
This compulsory system will ap
ply to all wage earners except agri
cultural labor, • domestic servants,
casual labor, Federal, state, city and
county and other governmental em
ployes and employes of educational,
charitable, scientific, literary and re
ligious organizations.
These pensions will not start un
til January 1, 1942. Officials esti
mate 25,840,000 workers will be
covered.
Beginning in 1937 and continuing
through 1939, each employe will be
taxed annually 1 per cent of his
wages up to $3,000. Any part of
his wages in excess of $3,000 will not
be taxed. The employer must pay an
equal tax. Every third year after
1937 the taxes will increase % per
cent until each tax amounts to 3
per cent, or a combined total of C
per cent, in 1949 and thereafter.
In 19 43 the Federal Government
will start paying the pensions. To
obtain them a person must be 65 and
retired. He also must have paid
taxes on total wages of at least $2,-
000 received between December 31,
1936, and his sixty-fifth birthday.
The pensions will be piad by
check monthly at the rate of of
1 per cent on the first $3,000 of his
total salary, 1-12 of 1 per cent on
the next $42,000 total earned in
come and 1-24 of 1 per cent on all
over $45,000.
Thus, for example, a person
earning and paying a tax on SIOO
monthly would, if he worked for
twenty years, be entiled to a pen
sion of $32.50. After working for
forty years he would receive $51.25.
In case of death before 65, the
estate of the worker would receive
3Va per cent of the total wages re
ceived between December 31, 1936,
and death. In case of death after
65,. the estate would receive 3%
per cent of the total wages received
between December 31, 1936, and the
sixty-fifth birthday, less any bene
fits paid during lifetime. The bene
fits will be withheld after a worker’s
sixty-fifth birthday so long as he re
tains regular employment.
Unemployment Insurance
A second tax will be imposed on
employers of eight or more persons
to finance the job insurance. Work
ers will not be taxed. Farm hands,
domestic help and governmental em
ployes will not be covered.
The tax on employers, beginning
in 1937, will equal 1 per cent of the
employer’s 1936 pay roll. In 1938
it will be 2 per cent, increasing to 3
per cent in 1939 and thereafter.
The unemployment insurance is
largely a state matter, with the Fed
eral tax being designed to induce
states to establish their own sys
tems. Up to 90 per cent of the
Federal tax will be credited to an
employer for contributions to state
insurance funds.
If the states fail to adopt such
systems, the full the tax
levied in those states will go into the
Federal Treasury for general govern
mental expenses.
No unemployment benefits are to
be paid until the system has been
in operation for two years. It is ex
pected states will grant no benefits
until a man has been out of work
at least two or three weeks. The
rate of compensation will vary with
the states, ranging perhaps from $5
to sls a week. Under the New York
WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE HEAT
(From Dawson News)
The intense heat of the past sev
eral weeks has caused people to con
cern themselves about the best ways
to combat hot weather and its ac
companying effects, and the best an
swer we have found to the problem
comes from Dr. J. D. Applewhite,
city health officer of Macon, who sets
down the following rules which, if
followed, should bring good results:
“First, work of all kinds, where
possible, should be done with mini
mum physical exertion and haste,
particularly in the sun, Dr. Apple
white advises. “Second, eat mostly
light foods, vegetables and raw items
such as lettuce, tomatoes and fruits.
“Drink large amounts of liquids
to replace body moisture lost through
perspiration. Water is first choice,
then fruit juices, then iced tea and
coffee. Shun beer, ale, wine and
other alcoholic drinks during such
hot weather.
“Maintain the salt content body
by using salt in fruit juices and on
vegetables. In perspiration, much
salt is lost by the body.
“Wear a minimum of light cloth
ing. Get all the sleep you can, and
cool off as much as possible by means
of fans and water, but don’t cool
off too quickly when overheated.”
If the advice of Macon’s health of
ficer were followed in its entirety
there would be much less complaint
of ailments common to the summer
season, and people as a whole would
fare better during hot weather.
A WAYCROSS NICKEL
A newsboy in Waycross, Ga., tells
the following:
I owed one-of the four boys in the
gang a dime. I paid him a nickel and
he paid another boy a nickel he
owed him and he owed another boy
a nickel and paid him and he owed
me a nickel and paid me and I then
paid the other nickel I owed and
settled the dime debt.
Which moves The Talladega Daily-
Home to comment as follows: “It
will be noted in the above series of
transactions that the first boy only
discharged half of his obligation at
the outset, but the nickel while on
its route of debt paying came back
to him and he was able to pay all he
owed. And that’s the way all money
will work for the benefit of all if it
is kept in circulation. A generous
disposition on the part of all to buy
wisely and pay their obligations
would go a long way toward break
ing the dam which retards the money
flow of the country.”
A nickel is only a nickel, and is
comparatively easy to part with. But
suppose one of the four Waycross
boys had decided that, instead of
parking the nickel on to the fellow
he owed, had decided to buy him
self tnndy or a soft drink.
In many instances dollars are not
being applied on debts—they are be
ing applied on unnecessary pleasures
and luxuries while the creditors are
stalled off.
All of us can pay a little on what
we owe, but many are still trying to
live on the scale of 1928 and 1929.

FEDERAL TRANSIENT
CAMPS ABANDONED
Washington.—Works Progress Ad
ministrator Hopkins sounded the
death knell of the federal transient
camps Thursday night. He said all
such camps and night shelters will be
abandoned November first.
The camps have been under fire
as efforts to provide luxuries for ho
boes. However, Hopkins says that
when he first came to Washington
county sheriffs were herding thou
sands of youth across county lines.
Police were chasing them out of
cities. He says “pan-handling” was
seen everywhere, while hundreds
stood shivering in breadlines. Thou
sands of youths were traveling in
boxcars.
Administrator Hopkins says his
camps have improved all these con
ditions. The 75,000 transients now
in the cmaps will be placed either in
CCC camps or put to work on relief
projects. Transients unfit for work
will be sent home when possible.
state law the benefits would not be
paid over a longer period than six
teen weeks.
Other Provision*
The Federal Government plans to
spend millions in special aid to the
blind and to crippled and dependent
children, the money to be matched
and even tripled by states. In ad
dition, Federal funds will be dis
tributed in the states maternal and
child health welfare work, for public
health services and vocational reha
bilitation.
Worthwhile Books
There are few people who are not
interested in the mffst popular books
of the day. Very often the con
troversy arises as to whether the
most popular books are the most
worthwhile ones and vice versa. It
has always been our belief that
book-buyers in general truly appre
ciate fine books. For, the people who
are willing to spend money on books
are usually those people who are in
terested in things literary and as
such are intelligent in their choice.

From this list which represents
the north, south, middle west and
west, there are many interesting
side-lights. There are several books
that have the leading place in every
one of the cities. For example, Stark
Young’s “So Red The Rose” heads
the list in three out of four cities,
while Alexander Woolcott’s book,
“While Rome Burns” heads every
list. There are several books being
read everywhere while there are a
few peculiar to a locality only.
This Hat is not only a list of the
best sellers but also by chance, a
list of the most worthy books of
the season. Everyone of these have
been acclaimed by renowned critics
as well as by the reading public.
Not one book on this list has receiv
ed adverse criticism. We entered
this list in the column so that it
might serve as a guide to what the
public all over the country is reading
as well as a guide to the best cur
rent literature.—Exchange.

“IT’S JUST ANOTHER DAY FOR
ME,” BISHOP CANDLER
Atlanta.—Bishop Warren A. Can
dler, facing the bright sunshine his
seventy-eighth birthday anniversary,
wryly remarked:
“It’s just like all the other days
to me.”
Despite this attitude, uncounted
friends from all parts of t>he state
poured good wishes into Bishop Can
dler’s home, a tribute to a “country
preacher” who became a noted cler
gyman, educator and scholar.
T’ve nothing to do in my old age
except try to get to Heaven,” Bishop
Candler declared, “I’ve just a short
time left hefe, and I’ve got to do
more good to make up for my wast
ed years.”
Reminded of his record of service
since the year 1875, he said: “Oh,
yes, I feel that I’ve wasted time, and
I’ve got to be saved by grace just
like anybody else.”
To prove conclusively that he still
“wants to do good,” Bishop Candler
has scheduled a sermon at .the Druid
Hills Methodist Church.
“I don’t know what I’ll preach
about,” he said Friday. “I never
preach a planned sermon. I just
study the scriptures, and then, like
a good Quaker, preach as the spirit
moves me.”
DOES ADVERTISING PAY?
The following story is credited to
a former director of advertising for
one of the largest oil companies now
in operation in this country:
A merchant kept hens about a
mile away from his home, and daily
his wife fetched home about fifty
eggs.
For three consecutive days she
found the nests empty. The hen
house door was intact and so was
the lock, therefore how had the
thieves got into the shed?
On the following morning, when
returning fruitlessly from the shed,
she me! all the hens on the road
nearly half way between the shed
and the house. What ever they were
doing there she could not tell.
When she next went to tend the
fire she was surprised and delighted
to find a solution to the mystery.
There in the coal bin were all the
eggs.
“Now, how thoughtful of those
hens to save me the trouble of fetch
ing the egys,” she thought.
She fully understood the matter,
wh.en her husband got home that
night and told her of having seen all
their hens in a row on the fence,
looking at anew poster that read:
“Now is the time to lay in coal.”
