A BIG EVENT! A FREE MOTION PICTURE MAY 26, 27, and 28 The Dallas Post More Than A Newspaper, A Community Institution MAKE A DATE TO ATTEND POST'S COOKING SCHOOL VOL. 47 Post'sC POST SCRIPTS RETREAT WOMEN RECIPE STEW CROW Breasting the flood -of = femininity, this column insists upon clinging to its customary brink of the front page long enough to prove that the spark of masculinity has not beéen entirely extinguished on this page. On the contrary, there is a strong temptation to make this last retreat of the male editor especially tough, in defiance of the prevailing atmo- sphere. But the die has been cast. This is to be our big Women's Issue. An we dedicate this column, along with the rest of the paper, to Woman, God bless her. Any other course would be sheer treason to the host of helpful young women who have contributed to this week's Post. For ferreting favorite recipes, for selecting reading mater- jal which will appeal to women, for voting honors to Mrs. Baker, for writ- ing splendid articles and most of all, for coming out on a rainy night to en- dure the ordeal of having their pic- tures taken, this column is grateful. LL om Since cooking is more or less the keynote of the current activity at The Post we've been trying to decide upon the favorite recipe. The task is com- plicated by the fact that we seldom make anything more involved than a cheese sandwich. We do have a favorite recipe, though and we make it often with our own lily-white hands. It tastes best at midnight, especially if you've missed dinner, It’s somewhat difficult for us to put down on paper because ‘we measure pretty much by rule of thumb. The ingredients are milk, butter, salt and pepper, a book and some crackers. The book is essential. You spill the milk into a vessel gen- erally referred to by us as a “pot” and heat it until the surface trembles with the fear that you're going to burn it. Then you add a great big lump of butter, about the size of a coronation diamond, and stand listlessly,. stir- ring and watching the globules spread in concentric yellow patterns across the creamy surface. Finally you add plenty of pepper and a little salt, and let it all cool a bit lest you burn your gullet. J A little cayenne peng sprinkled daintily over the mixture does no harm, nor does anys other flavoring handy if you are jn an experimental mood. We call it “Oysterless” Stew” and we're sure’ no Ol ever even thought of it befor: e book comes in ‘when you prop”it up to read while you're eating, thus nourishing mind and body at one and the same time. cee. The story Mrs. G. S. Sawyer told us this week about a tame crow who comes to visit her brought back sad memories of “Pete”, who used to pick the rubber out of the windshield wipers when cusomers left their cars in front of The Post. Pete, whose adventures were re- counted here in detail, passed on a year or so ago. His stories started a cycle of bird lore here, which reached its climax the week we gave over a whole column to the romance of a robin who had won his bride in a Mt. Greenwood back yard. Apyway, Mrs. Sawyer has this crow on her hands every few days. He ap- peared first last year and the ‘Sawyers treated him to hamburg, which made him their staunch friend. A week or so ago after being away somewhere all winter---he came back and there was a ereat reunion, with “Jackie”, the crow, ruffling his feathers proudly and strutting up and down as if ov- ercome by his own cleverness at finding his friends. He came back again, a few days ago, The amazing thing, says Mrs. (Continued to Page 20) Your Assurance Of Good Reading H $ & $ * "As you read this week's Post you will see these four boxed asterisks above many of the articles.

Tracy, mother of Lee Tracy, stage and screen star, came back to her little white house on Pioneer Avenue, Trucksville, this ‘week after spending five exciting and glorious months in Hollywood as the guest of her famous son. She came home Tuesday, bringing as trophies of her holiday a thousand new memories and a heart full of love for her son and his friends. Being as modest as she is lovable, Mrs. Tracy skips lightly over her personal tri- umphs, but those who know say Lee's best pal captured the hearts of the whole dog-gone movie colony. The list of stars she met reads like® a motion picture blue book. She met Walter Winchell, who says, ‘Lee Tracy acts more like Walter Win- chell than Winchell does”. Winchell, who is a staunch friend of My. Tracy, was making “Wake Up and Live”, and he’s much nicer than most peo- ple think, Mrs. Tracy says Ginger Rogers, whose mother is in Hollywood, too, was a particular pal of Mis. Tracy, They were together often, and Mrs, Tracy saw Ginger and Fred Astaire making their picture “Shall We Dance?”’. Mary Brian and her mother also were hostesses to Mrs. Tracy, and she encountered scores of the movie people in such places as the Brown Derby and the Trocadero. One week-end Lee and Mrs, Tracy had Joan Blondell and Dick Powell as guests on Lee's yacht, Adore. Dick, it seems, was anxious to get a yacht like Lee’s but Joan was putting up a little opposition. Dick tried to char- ter the Adore but Lee, swearing he wouldn't even let his brother (if he had one) take it out, invited them instead to be his guests for a week- end. Until he and Joan became sea- sick Dick’s enthusiasm for a yacht was mounting rapidly, but it sank sharply about the time he began feeling the effects of the swell. Good sports, both, they sent Mrs. Tracy flowers next day, with ‘a note “Love from the ground- hogs. Joan and Dick”. . It was from the eangplank of that yacht that Mrs, Tracy took her wide- ly publicized dip in the Pacific, when Lee leaped in to rescue her. Even Lee, who is accustomed to publicity by this time, was surprised at the circulation that episode got. He received two clip- pings from England, from a chap who reported he has 500 clippings about Mr. Tracy's activities. The people in Hollywood are “just ag natural as the rest of us”, Mrs. Tracy insists. She has visited . the movie colony several times before and has met most of the big stars and so she should know whereof she speaks. (Continued on Page 5) Martin Announces K.T H. S. Program John A.

E. DEDICATION This issue, which has been pre- pared. with the assistance of an editorial board from Dallas Junior ‘Women’s Club, is dedicated res- pectfully to all the women of those local towns which, although sep- arated by boundary lines, are welded together by the common interests which The Post seeks constantly to advance. For this week, so-called “spot news” has had to give way to such news as we felt would appeal es- pecially to women, and it is our hope that we have, in some mea- sure, succeeded in filling our news columns with articles which will be helpful, interesting and infor- mative. The Post will have many new readers this week and we want to welcome them to the Post's jolly big family. Naturally, we entertain a hope that they may become sub- scribers some day, but, subscrib- ers or not, we welcome them as readers and as visitors to our cooking school, and hope they will approve of mus. Mrs. Baker Award ho Has 28 A Selected As WomgaWh Been * reatest Service S f Board An editorial board of members from Dallas Junior Women’s Club yester- day selected Mrs. William Baker of Lehman Avenue, Dallas, as “the local woman who has been of the most service to her community during the last year”. The award carries with it a certi- ficate signed by the members of the editorial board, a life subscription to The Dallas Post and a gift from The Post. Mrs. Baker was chosen because of her unselfish devotion to a variety of community projects during the last year. ! A talented pianist, Mrs. Baker is probably best known as the accompan- ist for many local singers and music- ians. She has always been willing to give her services to church, school or community. Where she finds the en- ergy and the time for her varied ser- vices is a marvel to her friends. She was president of the J. A. B. Class of Dallas M. E. Church during 1934, 1935 and 1936 and Mrs. Ralph A. Brickel, teacher of that class, pays a sincere tribute to Mrs. Baker's un- tiring efforts. Mrs. Baker was among {Continued to Page 5) i Men have their annual conventions, . where they listen to lectures from specialists, experts who have devoted years to studying and experimenting ’ along constructive lines.

The feminine convention delegates may not pound on glasses and sing pep songs, but they will get up-to-the-~ minute news on every phase of house- hold ‘lore, and they will hear from spe- cialists in their own field, who will di- rect an inventory on simplified me- thods, routine, products and latest e- quipment, pointing the easy road to smooth home management.

The camera and the home special- ists got together on their vigorous in- vestigation and The Post was quick to snap up the chance to offer the in- teresting results. Never has the camera been more faithful than in this motion picture cooking school. Never has a model kitchen been portrayed so accurately and in such detail. This is no half-hearted demonstra- tion. Each delicious dish will be com- pleted and shown with such realism that there aré sure to be hungry “ohs” and “ahs” from the audience. If any stray husbands get into the theatre, they are certain to ask: ‘“When do we eat?” CARE FOR BULBS Troubled by left-overs? Haunted by never-ending jobs? Tired of house- work that seems like drugery? The cure: New wrinkles will smooth the brow of the weary housekeeper; that is, new housekeeping ‘wrinkles leading to economy in time, effort and dollars. There is nothing formal and up-stage about this screen Cooking School. Informality, hospitality and neighbor- ly welcome are joined in the picture, meaning that a goood time will ve had by all, ag the society editor says. Remember the time, 1730. And don’t forget to visit the annex after ward. You may win one of the scores of free prizes. Bring all your friends, too!
