It is usually too late to do any
thing about a defective steering
wheel that suddenly fails to func

curve, or the headlamps that go
out on an unfamiliar road, or the
horn that is silent when you need
it on split-second notice, or the
right front tire ? which has been
looking bad lately ? that blows out
on a slippery highway. When
'hese things happen, death, injury
and destruction of costly property
usually result, but they are no
"acts of God." They are wholly
inexcusable, because they ar whol

In selecting all roasting and
baking utensils look for materials
sturdy enough not to warp when
exposed to high oven temperatures.
Few seams, smooth edges, and
rounded corners al ' make cleaning
easier. Study the size and shape
of your oven before buying casse
loles. utility pans, muffin tins,
cake and pie pans. Wherever pos
sible select utensils which can
be used for top range as well as
' !o. oven cookery.
Plain seams in untitled jackets
ui in ravelly materials may be
i.nishcd by turning the edges and
machine stitching.
Here is a new idea and a good
one: Top a casserole of seasoned,
mashed squash with a meringue.
It d iieren? Do try it and use
\ou; canned >quash To make the
meringue, beat two egg whites
wiih one teaspoon sugar, salt and
pepper to taste and one haJf tea

Spr nkle with paprika and brown in

Add a dozen chopped pitted
c'ah and a tablespoon or two of
finely cut crystallized ginger to
youi next Indian pudding. Plain
cream or ginger-flavored hard
sauce is best.
