Fluoridation
Went A Long Way
To Say Sorry
Love usually Ands a way out,
ever; from the most perple#ing
difficulties. Raymond and, his
sweetheart, Myrtle, had a (mar,
rel one evening. As a result he
walked out on her in a huff, ,'but
by the next day he had calmed
down and that evening went to
apologize,
Myrtle was gone, however,
Her pareots told Raymond that
.she had gone to Salisbury, Sou
thern Rhodesia, to her aunt.
Raymond brooded aver this; for
Salisbury is a long way, .from
Johannesburg where he and.
Myrtle lived,
After a week he could stand
the suspense no longer, packed
a suitcase and, thumbed a lift to
Rhodesia, only to find on his
arrival that Myrtle was not
there, but had gone to see an-
other aunt in Ndola, Northern
Rhodesia.
Once again. Raymond's thumb
got him a lift and once again it
was a wild-goose chase, for
Myrtle had not been there at
all.
A telegram to Johannesburg
drew a reply that she had in
fact gone to an aunt in. Durban,
hundreds of miles south of,
Ndola.
Saving every penny that he
could; Raymond walked 'out of
Ndola and by slow stages and
many lifts managed to reach
Durban. But there be again dis-
covered that he had been wast-
ing his time. Myrtle wasn't
there, but her aunt believed
that she might have gone to an-
other relative in Cape Town,
about 1,000 miles from Durban.
Raymond. decided to", telephone
Myrtle's mother. "You are wast-
ing your time," her mother'said.
"She is finished with you."
"That's what she thinks," Ray-,
moxid snapped, and 'that night,
tired and worn-out, he began
the long hike to Cape Town,
where he arrived after eleven
days and about eight different
cars—only to find that Myrtle
was not there either!

The long arm of federal gov-
ernment control over the indi-
vidual lives of some of its citizens
has now been stretched even
farther than in the past. The
department of defense has di-
rected its officials on state-side
military bases on which depend-
ent children live to fluoridate
the domestic water supply used
by resident families.
The fluoridation of water to' ‘
protect children's teeth from de-
cay has become a controversial
matter, in many local communi-
ties where it has been proposed.
Its advocates include various
professional dental societies and
Individuals sincerely concerned
with public health. Opponents
include other persons who, for
one reason or another, do not
want their water "doctored" be-
fore it reaches their homes, The
question has been settled by vote
in some localities. .
Military personnel and their
families are always subjected to
all sorts of rules and regulations,
and many will take the fluorida-
tion order in stride. The na-
tional defense department direc-
tive, however, does appear to
take a rather basic' freedom of
choice away from the individual
citizen who happens to be quar-
tered on a military base.
Regardless of the merits or de-
merits• of fluoridation, there
seems to be little reason why it

EXAMPLE rOR CANADA
Over 40 million acres of pri-
vately owned forest lands are
enrolled. in the Tree Farm Pro-
gram sponsored by American
Forest Industries, and the total
is being extended rapidly
throughout the country. This
land is owned by over 10,000 in-
dividuals and 'wood-consuming
companies. Plots range front
three acres in the case of some
backyard foresters, to 200,000
for the larger timber and pulp
corporations.
These tree farms are not just
ordinary bush land but, as the
name implies, are places where
commercial trees are 'grown,
protected and handled as a crop,
just like wheat, or apples or
potatoes. Unlike some of those
others mentioned, however,
there are no market worries
about tree farm crops,

A skillet of cast iron. or cast
aluminum with a tight-fitting lid
makes it possible to prepare
one-burner meals in series. First,
plan a dessert which can be
served cold; say fruit, fruit gela-
tin, or tapioca pudding. Then,
for example, combine ground
meat with cooked spaghetti and
.tomato sauce and cook it in the
skillet. When this is done set it
aside .7- it will keep hot in the
skillet — while you cook broc-
'con or some other green veg-
etable.
A double boiler is another
handy utensil In the one-burner
kitchen. For "double decker"
cooking, boil potatoes, corn on
the cob; or some other vegetable
in the lower part of the boiler
while rolls are heating in the
upper part. And of course there's
nothing more useful than a
double boiler for reheating such
foods as cooked meat and; gravy,

Bachelor's Pie
If a housewife has to be away
overothe meal hours, she usually
leaves what is known as , a
"Bachelor's Pie" in the oven for
her husband and sons. To make
this, she lightly butters an
extra-large pie plate, then thin-
ly slices raw potatoes into the
pan to make a layer about an
inch deep. She tops this with
a layer of thinly sliced onions,
and adds salt and pepper. Over
this she arranges inch-wide
strips of round steak, then dots
the whole with small pieces of
suet, and salts and peppers again.
She covers the plate with pie-
crust, slashed to permit steam
to escape, and leaves the pie in
a medium-hot oven to bake un-
til done. Her stove is wood-
fired, and she can gauge her
heat and 'length of baking to a•
nicety through long experience.
In a gas or electric oven, 1 hour

Many violins come to the show-

bidding is a lively duel, flitting
from $1,500 on this day to
$9,900 in a few seconds. For this
sum the bidder had acquired

The Pennsylvania Dutch peo-
ple did not come from the
Netherlands, as many people
think. They came from the
Rhine area of Germany, where
the word "Deutsch" meant "the
folk" of that region. The ,term
"Dutch".was applied to them by
English-speaking people of colo-
nial times who• misunderstood
'the immigrants when they said,
"Ich bin. Deutsch."
But the Amish and other
members of the Plain sects who
settled on. the Pennsylvania
frontier soon demonstrated what
are so often considered German
traits of thrift and frugality.
They raised bumper crops of
white potatoes in the fine rich
soil of the new world, and the
Womenfolk made delectable
dishes from them that astonish-
ed and delighted the English
settlers, ,writes Mabel Slack
Shelton in The Christian Sci-
ence Monitor.
They grated "Deutsch Spuds"
and made them into pancakes;
they used them in soup; they
grated them again in Potato
Custard; they fried them, baked
them, and put them in stews.
And their descendants, equally
as versatile in the kitchen, found
that potatoes help to' make a
never-fail. fudge that is` famOos,
