'inn SOCIETY THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1945. EX'S IN EWS SECTION 2 -a y.v.v.. y.yilHu'. x.ym. Jv JC a Sv'yW 1 7 -d 1 tw-l Mr" Home Is Harder On This Veteran Than Was War By Dot Tellitall ifnHE'S my girl," was the snap response of Gordon Tyler, who plays the role of Ronald Stevens in the Little Theater production of "Snafu," when he was asked about Nancy Lee Platter's role as Kate Hereford.

And what a girl! She is always helping the 15-year-old returning veteran out of run-ins with his family. Ronald could take care of himself in the Pacific, but at home he needs the interested protection of a woman. Gordon, the newlyelected president of the student body at the University of Louisville, and Nancy Lee, a student at Atherton, have parts which call for them to act several years younger than they actually are. Gordon's running away and getting in the army at 15 and the help given him by Nancy creates "Snafu" (situation normal, all fouled up). Rehearsals for the play, which runs next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, are going smoothly enough.

It's the actors who have suffered setbacks. Frank Von Allmen had a part which called for his being flipped over Gordon's back. Gordon played the scene with a little too much feeling and Frank ended up in bed with a bad back. Now Paul Berry has Frank's part, and so far he hasn't received any serious injuries. The curtain will go up next week on an entertaining play, that it, if Gordon Tyler deals gently with the actors, and no limbs are broken.

Making Most Of Marriage MY DAY Order of Eastern Star Elects New Heads success story. But he was discovered by a colonel, instead of a talent scout. Just for something to do in his spare time, Leo painted portraits of the men's sweethearts and wives from the photographs they brought in their duffel bags. The colonel so impressed with these portraits that he commissioned Leo to paint a picture for his office. From then on, because the colonel was so pleased with the picture Leo had done for him, he ordered that Leo's duties be strictly in the art line instead of his regular work in the medical unit.

Even though Leo finished his premed training before going overseas, he has got so in oil painting that he has given up the idea of being a doctor. Probably the closest he will get to the medical profession is -to do doctors' portraits. the exclusion of anybody else. But in the Luckett family a new member was introduced at their home coming. Capt.

Thomas Luckett has returned from Fort Leavenworth, where he attended the Command and General Staff School. His wife, Mary Camp Luckett. has come home from Kentucky Baptist Hospital, and the Lucketts' little girl. Catherine, is back from a stay with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.

New York's shortage of housing needs solution for returning veterans By Eleanor Roosevelt WASHINGTON, D. Anyone who goes to the Officers' Lounge in New York where officers, are allowed to wait with their families for housing or for theater tickets, or just plain information and advice will be struck these days by the number of young families who have evidently just come from the train and are still busy soothing one child or another after a long and tiring trip.

There the same family may be several hours later! No rooms or apartments are available for them. Wednesday night, the American Veterans' Committee held a rally at Hunter College, 68th Street and Park Avenue, to call attention of the public in New York City to the acute housing situation which confronts the returning serviceman. The men, who stand in line an hour or two, are told that nothing is available, and they turn away hopelessly, feeling that New York is just an overcrowded, over-stimulated, heartless com munity. It is estimated that 50,000 units will be needed in New York by next summer, and that the pres ent crisis will grow greater each year for at least two years. What is true here is equally true of cities all over the country.

THE PROGRAM of the Ameri can Veterans' Committee divides itself roughly into two parts that we can all try to work for. The first is to find some way of erect ing temporary housing so that these people will not go through the long winter without some shelter. Temporary housing, however, must be carefully watched, since it tends to grow permanent and there are always many drawbacks which can be accepted for a short time, but with which we should not put up for long. In addition, the committee suggests the rehabilitating of old-law tenements by putting in central heating, hot water and private baths. This is an emergency measure which is perhaps necessary at the present time.

But we should be very careful that these partially renovated old-law tenements are not taken from condemned lists for long, and this may not be a possible thing to do when costs are high, I HAVE BEEN wondering whether the trailer camps established outside the District of Columbia might not prove useful, even though the New York climate is much colder than Washington's. I have seen outside that city a whole field set up with trailers, with sewage systems dug and the water supply adequately provided. Copyright, 1A4S.

i Longevity YOU It FIGURE Not so many years ago the Life Insurance Companies, on their annuity tables, had everybody dead at 96. Of course, they didn't expect many people to continue to draw their annuity that long, but that was the extreme age that anybody was supposed to live. Well, a lot of folks fooled them and lived merrily on, passing the century mark. Then the companies changed their tables, and incidentally their rates. You may be interested to know that they now allow for your living on to the possible ripe old age of 114! The standard table adopted by most companies has women living up to 114.

and men up to 109 years. Women, on the average, Hve five years longer than men. Longevity is to some extent predetermined by your ancestors, but today most people are living longer than their grandparents did. So even if you are from a short-lived family, you can ex pect to live to a fairly ripe old age. But let's get over the mistaken notion that prolonging life merely means tacking more years onto old age.

It can mean extending the prime of life, a Just two pieces the palm one color, the back another is the easy way these gloves are crocheted. Colorful accents for Fall outfits!

No. .3010 Size Name (Piease Pnnti Srreet Address I City Zone No. State Qmm 3010 A JvS By Pat YESTERDAY when I was on the market and in the groceries looking over the vegetable situation, I saw quite a large number of heads of celery cabbage at every turn. talked to one wholesale produce man about good buys for the coming week end, and he quickly mentioned celery cabbage, following with a rejoinder that it is too bad that Louisville housewives don't fully appreciate the qualities of this comparative newcomer to the vegetable kingdom. From this I take my cue and set out to tell you a little about celery cabbage, that you might develop an interest in, if not an appreciation of this particular vegetable.

First of all. It is a vegetable which can be home grown, an item worth investigating for next year's garden. It grows in stalk form, somewhat like celery; the leaves wrapped around this stalk are akin to the cabbage leaf, but are just a little different. They seem more tender than cabbage, and have a pulp-like texture. The flavor is a cross between celery, and cabbage.

The "head" of celery cabbage usually weighs about a pound. Celery cabbage has a variety of uses. It is good mixed in the salad bowl or served with a dressing much like lettuce. A simple celery cabbage salad is made this way: Wash a small head well in cold water, but do not separate the leaves. Dry thoroughly by rolling in a towel and shaking.

Holding head firmly together, cut through its crosswise in one-fourth inch slices. Serve with French or Thousand Island dressing. Celery cabbage cooked just like white or green cabbage. Because of its bulky shape it wouldn't be advisable to cook it whole, but it's best to cut it into crosswise pieces several inches thick. Cook in boiling salted water for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender; but as for cabbage, the shorter the period of cooking the better.

Serve with butter or Hollandaise sauce. It may also be creamed or scalloped as you would do celery or cabbage. Usually one head proves too much for a meal in a small family. However, if you plan to use half the head in a salad capacity for one meal and the remainder as a hot vegetable in another meal, you a una it comes out just right. On the Vegetable Counter THE BIG THREE on the vegetable counter haven't been removed from office cabbage, potatoes and onions.

They remain strong majority leaders. They hold this place by virtue of the face that they're plentiful and the prices are moderate to cheap. 'Cauliflower looks promising for the coming week end; supplies are good and the price is coming down. Carrots are coming in from California now and are of ex cellent quality. Celery is slowly moving out of the realm of reasonable and cheap vegetables.

The price is climbing as the supply becomes limited. Home grown green peppers are on their last legs. The next few weeks will find them departed. Lettuce supplies are a little better than last week. Those few Ogden sunny days we have brought the Bibb lettuce out.

Eggplant is gone, so far as the home-grown variety is concerned. Some is being shipped in from the south but, needless to say, the price' is quite high. Acorn squash is plentiful and good. Pumpkin supplies are fairly heavy, in readiness Hallowe'en. Greens, mustard, turnip kale are good this week.

for and but spinach is a little on the short side and it js high. Green bean are Among those on the scarce list. The few now on the market are coming in from Arkansas. Fruit Itoiind-l'p On the fruit side of market row, all the makings of a fruit bowl centerpiece are in evidence. Apples, all varieties, are available in limited supplies and are selling at ceiling price.

Grape supplies will fall off this week, due to heavy rains in California preventing good shipping conditions. Bartlett pears lean slightly toward the scarce side. There are some Bosc pears coming in and more are expected later in the season. Oranges are arriving from California and Florida in increasingly heavy supplies. Florida grapefruit are on the market and the seedless varieties from Texas are expected to here next work.

lloneydew melons have been faithfully good all season, but are beginning to dwindle slowly away. There are a few more cranberries in this week, but the price is remaining aloof. pn The news at the butcher shop Is static; the same old thing week after week. Beef, veal and lamb are all we ever hear. The only bright spot is the cheese news.

We're told greater varieties of cheeses are becoming available all the time and, with no ration points necessary for cheese, this is welcome news. United Nations Display At Library Praised The Louisville Free Public Library has been commended in The Library Journal, national library magazine, for its outstanding United Nations exhibits. "This is one of the most re markable series of exhibits the editor has seen," he said in his report in the Journal. "More favorable comments were made on the Louisville library's part in bringing the people of the United Nations to Louisville than on any other library publicity or educational program in the country this year."
