Drought has stricken the area, and the cotton is barely above the ground. At this time it should be ready for picking. TALKS JfAB1iE ala >ye S "Tomatoes, red, ripe, and Mesh from summer vines—to- natoes green for pies, pickles Ind other good dishes after the Inst frost of fall—tomatoes for winter and early spring 'put up' plain or in juice, catsup, chili sauce, relishes, marma- lades the calendar round, tomatoes add their special note of bright color and tempting favor," so says the U.S. De- partment of Agriculture Leaf- let No, 278 titled "Tomatoes On Your Table." * .1' * "Sort and use ripest tomatoes first," it continues. "Keep the rest spread out where it's cool the refrigerator is a good place. Peel and cut tomatoes quickly just before you are ready to cook them or serve them raw in salad. If you must prepare tomatoes ahead of time, be sure to keep them covered in a cold place until you use them. To peel tomatoes, stroke the skin with the back of a knife until loosened, or dip in hot water 1-2 minutes, then quickly into cold water, or run tip of fork into tomato and ro- tate over a flame until skin wrinkles slightly. * * .* Green tomatoes, caught by the first light frost, can be bro'ight indoors. . , Those about to turn pink will ripen at cool room temperature — 55°- 70° F. in either sunlight or shade. Immature green toma- toes won't ripen." aw * * Broiled Tomatoes One of the simplest ways to cook tomatoes is to broil them. Wash medium sized tomatoes, ripe or green, and remove stem end. Cut tomatoes in half and place cut side up in shallow pan or broiler pan. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place under direct heat with top of tomatoes about 3 inches below flame. Broil until tender. * * * ' Scalloped tomatoes may be fixed by a basic rule suggested by the above pamphlet and given below, or they may be combined with cooked, whole - kernel corn, shredded cabbage, eggplant, crookneck squash or onions in the recipe. SCALLOPED TOMATOES 3r/a cups sliced fresh or canned tomatoes (No. 23r2 can) cup minced oniony 2 tablespoons minced green pepper (if desired) 1 teaspoon salt Pepper Sugar, if desired — '/ teaspoon 2 tablespoons fat 2 cups soft bread ca. ibs Combine tomatoes, onion, green pepper, salt, pepper and sugar. Place in a baking dish alternate layers of tomato mix- ture, and bread crumbs, ending with bread crumbs( for a thin- ner mixture, omit 1 cup of crumbs). Dot with butter. Bake at 375° F. for 20-30 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with cheese for last 15 minutes. To combine other ingredients suggested with scalloped toma- toes, reduce tomatoes to 21 cups and add either 21/2 cups cooked whole --kernel corn, 3 cups shredded cabbage, 1 me- dium-sized eggplant, pared and cut in 1 -inch pieces, 4 cups sliced crook -neck squash or 4 onions, sliced or quartered and used instead of the minced onion. Combine as for scal- loped tomatoes. Cover and bake until vegetables are tender — for corn, about 20-30 minutes; for onions, about 1 hour; for cabbage, eggplant and squash, 45-50 minutes. Remove lid for last 15-20 minutes to brown crumbs. * * �k Stuffed Tomatoes Tomatoes may also be stuffed with any of dozens of fillings, and baked. Mushrooms, bread stuffing, cheese, celery, bacon, eggs, .meat, fish — or combina- tions of these are used for this purpose. M rf * Have you ever tried making a Iight and fluffy tomato souffle?

Gradual - FASHION HINT For Sea -Lovers - Young And OW A Sailor's Life by Jan de Hartog. Ostensibly this is a book writ- ten for boys who have an itch to go to sea. It began as a•messagq to a boy who asked the author for advice on whether or not he should become a sailor. The re- sult turned out to be some mes- sage. It also turned out to be some book. What de Hartog has produced is .a series of wise es- says and charming discourses which any boy can understand and which grownups will savor to the full. Boys will get an enormous amount of valuable information from this book. But it is the boys who have grown to man- hood who will enjoy it the most. It is a Baedeker to mid -20th cen- tury seamanship. And it is an- other fine piece of writing about the sea, oceans, strange ports, winds, weather, toil, trouble, joys, hardships, captains and cooks. De Hartog was a sailor from his youth up through his thirties before he began to write. He must have been a seaman's sea- man if the craftsmanship dis- played in this book is a fair cri- terion. No writer could be ash- ly beat in cream; add remaining in gredients and mix well. Epicure's Broiled Tomatoes Cut peeeld tomatoes crosswise in halves, Spread cut sides lib- erally with blue creazn cheese X. Sprinkle with fine dry bread crumbs and paprika. Broil slowly until crumbs are browned and tomatoes are pip- ing hot. amed at this accomplishment. Of course the sea produces writers. Men have been shipping' before the ;mast and then settling down expertly to the quill for centur- ies. Dana, Conrad, McFee, .Vil- iers, are . some , of the better known masters. This book is not creative in the sense of creative literature. It is philosophy, observation, anecdote, and advice. Nothing quite like this has been done for- the sea in a long time; per- haps nothing like it ever has been written. In any event it is a one-shot type of volume. De Hartog has said almost all there is ` to say, by way of advice, on "a sailor's life." His philosophy at times may be of the foc'sle variety, but it is solid stuff. When Dana wrote "Two Years Before the Mast" times and styles were different. Dana spent two years in, the fac'sle of a sail- ing ship and the book he produc- ed took almost as long to read, This was the style of the 19th century; there was more time, apparently, for reading. At least the distractions did not dis- courage the publishing of long. books. De Hartog, as a modern • Dana, has written a book that is quite as solid as Dana but his touch is lighter. Conrad, of course, wrote lit- erature, with the sea as the stage for his studies of mankind. MeFee came out of the engine room to write a long list of nov- els and non-fiction volumes. While for years he spoke as "the Chief" ' in these books of the age of steam, McFee's inter- ests expanded substantially.

HOW SHY CAN ONE GET? To stare at a queen is one th ng — to be stared at by Britain's Queen Elizabeth is something else. However, the "shy" airman hiding his face isn't overcome by the experience. He's demonstrating the action of an ejecYon seat canopy which shields a pilot's face when he must bail out from jet aircraft at speeds in the near -supersonic range. Her Majesty was treated to the demonstration while touring an air !rase at Marham, Norfolk, England. Teen-ager's First Job Important With graduation just around the corner, there's a new crop of job hunters coming up. There is also an eager group of po- tential bosses ready and willing to accept them into the ranks. The teen-agers who are just graduating from commercial or high school— without previous knowledge of, or experience with, business — have a father special problem when they first go job hunting. The combination of lack of experience and first- hand knowledge, coupled usual- ly with shyness and some trepi- dation, makes looking for that .first job .a memorable experi- ence. Parents can help to make their teen-age children feel less wor- ried about the outcome. Perhaps of even greater help is a first- hand report from someone who deals frequently with this par- ticular group of job hunters. For example, Miss M. Mc- Laggan, women's employment supervisor of Du Pont of Canada in. Montreal, reports that in com- parison with five years ago, the teen-ager of today knows more about business and her own possible place in it. Most of her. money ideas come from her last of sailor -writers to proclaim the deep -water sailing ship. Now comes de Hartog, a sea- man to whom the sooty, coaI- burning days of McFee seem an- cient. De Hartog's ships are clean oilburners, with two-way radios, radar, and other electron- ic wonders. It is a new world at sea, and de Hartog is its disciple. He is apparently about to set out on the most difficult passage he has ever attempted, the jour- ney to a successful writing car- eer. Many have travelled that road before him. Few will say it is easy, even when one has the experience of twenty years from foc'sle to - cabin behind hini, during which time most worldly secrets, desirable and not -so -de- sirable, have been bared. De Hartog comes to his new role unusually well equipped. •Such a discerning book as "A Sailor's Life" is a favorable wind. parents, from talking to Ias year's graduates, from reading want ads. Many teen-agers have some idea of their worth and some knowledge of salaries. Due to guidance teachers ixt high schools, most teen-agers have some idea of their own talents, how to adapt to the requirements of the business and . where they are most likely to succeed. It is only the minority who misjudge their abilities against the requirements of the job they seek. Most, teen -ages are reported to be well aware of the benefits of working for a large company, but they put "job interest" before either benefits or money. Another interesting compari- son between the young job hunter of today and her counter- part of five years ago; is her interest in going ahead, rather than marking time until "the right man comes along". . career, rather than a stop -gap, is the target of today's young job hunter. The personal appearance of the girl looking for a job has been stressed so often that it would seem to be the sole interest of the interviewer. Em- ployers report this is not so. Personal appearnce is important to the extent of neatness and appropriate dress. But much more important is the attitude .of t h e employee -to -be, hear scholastic background and her objectives. Employment personnel s a y that in all cases the better the education, the easier it is to place the prospective employee in a job she will like. Some grounding in typing and short- hand, some acquaintance with a commercial course, are definite assets. Many girls who cannot attend commercial courses take them at night school after being placed in a job, thereby earning money and educating themselves at the same time, In practically all large busi- nesses today, there is a highly skilled and trained personnel staff. Their job is to find the rightplace for applicants front the triple viewpoint of the coma - pany's needs, the applicant'I personal wishes and the appli- cant's potential.
