The Wagon Train Gets A New Boss On the lot of Universal-Inter- national in Universal City, Calif., gnarled Christopher Hale (play- ed by gnarled John McIntire) wandered over simulated prairie, out of his head, his family wiped out by Indians, He was found by a passing wagon train, and in the ensuing pages of the script prov- ed to be kind, understanding, and, by a true-to-video coincid- ence, a former wagon master. • "Why can't this man take over?" cried the people of the wagon train, who were unhappy with their newly hired' wagon master, mean and ruthless Jud Benediet (played' by non-ruth- less Lee Mervin), And so, in this manner, will it come to pass that a major transition in TV Western lore will be marked when NBC's high-stepping "Wagon Train"— in an episode scheduled for early spring—takes on a new perma- nent wagon master. MeIntite, 53, the new wagon chief, a veteran movie actor and former star of such TV' series as rl‘Talied City," will be stepping into the big boots of the late Ward Bond, who helped propel the four-sea- son-Old oaten into the Top Ten, Although the rough-and-tumble Bond died of a heart'aettack last Nov. 5, the producers of ;"`Wagon Train" have been caretially?ffirib- bling out precious Bond episodes shot before his deatli. saxsLast month, the late acton espaaying Maj. Seth Adams, starred for the last time. Adams will not be killed off; he will simply disappear from the script, "We decided that the public already knows he's dead in real life," explained producer Howard Christie: As fee; McIntire, who will con- tinue with beefcakey Bob Hor- ton as his chief scout on the wafon train, he'll essay his role in different style from the two- fisted Seth Adams. "I'll be a man who loves nature, who has a little poetry in his soul, a kind man yet capable of firmness," he explained, "It's quite a respon- sibility to run a wagon train — especially one that's been run by Ward Bond for -four, years," ISSUE 11 — 1961, DON'T LET CHtib ACCEPT MOS OtCGIFTS UNLESS .

"Heat Wave in Febru- aryl"• the npwspaper placards proclaim the gloriously obvious. A girl strolls by with a spring hat, a spray of lilies-af-the-valley tucked along its brim. And over all is the immense blue sky, its infinity marked by two thin white vapor-trails from jet engines. There is an air of gaiety, of sudden release in the streets where messenger boys again whistle the latest popUlar tune, and housewives think of soap and water,, paint and new covers, as the sun pours radiant through windows and remorse- lessly picks out the shabbiness. "It won't last," say the wise- acres, and they are right. Fog and frost, cold and rain, may, indeed must, come back, But this glimpse of .spring in February is like the budding yellow forsythias in the parks — a token and a promise, a taste and a forecast, a delicious interval that brings Paris in •Its most glorious mood like • a •pri- vale Valentine gift to every passer-by, NICE BAIT — Judy Keirn shows us the latest in paper beach hats. The paper hots (this one is called "Flying fish") are treated chemically to make them seaworthy. 'Paris Gets A Taste (X Spring Wrapped in ite wintry cocoon of mist and chilly air, the city looms ghostlike through its veil of stark, skeletonlike trees. The autos is by, their moisture-- filmed colors faded to monotony. The Arc de Triomphe has re- treated behind a thousand folds of foggy curtain, and the Eiffel Tower has disappeared. Behind the yellow yet feeble shafts of lights from a thousand windows mannequins move in their formal, carefully coordin- sled ballet, clothed in fine silks and fresh-colored linens, in all the hues of spring and summer, giving the lie to the muted city beyond their little scented world. Out in the streets, men and women walk quickly past, heads tent and collars raised, a gray amorphous mass of humanity in tired coats and damp shoes, with- out either wish or energy ,to stop to look at the shop windows as they make their way to the warmish, worn-out air beyond the subway doors. Others step hastily into waiting autos, and swish cautiously off to the com- fort of drawn curtains, warm food and the familiar ease of home, Gene are the big buses bearing their complement of visitors, ex- cited, surprised or exultant, chat- tering in a score of foreign tongues, poring over their maps, gathering like pigeons in front of Notre Dame or posing for one another's cameras in the Place Vendome, Down on the Seine the high water rides under the bridges, gray and cold, the only sign of vitality a thin feather of smoke from the tethered houseboats that seem to cluster together like the ducks on the lake in the Bois de Boulogne, for protection from nature's inclemency. Paris the gay, the pleasure- dome and museum, the western Mecca for so many different types of people, has shrunk in upon itself, reduced to the status of any city under siege from mist and cold. But Paris is eternally change- able. A strong west wind from the Atlantic, two days' rain and it is suddenly spring, The Arc de Triomphe gleams iridescent and majestic, the sun paints strange broth.

It tsn't that way any more, In one waodside heurigen (café); owner Karl Hengl sur- veyed his empty pine tables last month and lamented: "Our wine is turning sour, our chickens are getting tough, and the whole place is dead as a tomb." He blamed the difficulty on the "white mice"—a name given to. Vienna's motorcycle police because they trim their uniforms with white leather piping. The white mice have been cracking down on tipplers with some of the toughest penalties for drunk- en driving of any city in the world. The maximum allowed for anyone driving a car is three small glasses of wine or two schnapps. Anyone suspected of having had more can be. stopped and subjected to a test. If the test shows that his blood con- tains as much as .03 per cent al- cohol—half what is allowed in New York—he is declared to be 'drunk. And his fine can range from $200 upward to $2,000 (pay- able on the installment plan). Tourist agencies complain that such stringent regulations ruin the tourist trade—but the "white mice" remain unperturbed, They claim that accidents caused by drunken driving are now down 50* per cent.

The "S4phcrd" is the loll square minaret of the Gaut Mosque ef, Kairourtn; its "sheep" nrc the white houses of the town, spread Out from the minaret's base. • For centuries, I was told in Kairouan, m architects came with their drawing boards. to the Great Masque, to copy down its details and reproduce them in other places ot worship throughout . North Africa. One can believe it, for minarets in •the western Arab world' are square instead of round and slim, as. in the Arab, Turkish, and Persian east.. Founded in the ninth Century. A.D. by the . Arab Aghlabids„ conquerors of Sicily, Kairouan today .is a white city, its walls dazzling beneath the' hot 'North African sun, This makes it a comparative rarity among 'Arab 'towns, for, contrary to frequent belief, there are remarkably few white cities in the great sweep of Arab architecture from Mot.-- occo to Iraq. Most old Arab buildings are the'color of mud, =graced by the whitewash that would make them sparkle. Not so with Kairouan, whose dazzling impression is heighten- ed - by the graceful fretwork of blue wrought-iron b a l c a n i e s adorning almost every house in town, To add •a final note of charm, the roof lines of the nar- row 'lanes' and streets are not all of e height, but harmonize in unfolding vistas of high and low, broad and narrow, some stepped-in from the street, others flush to ,,the road, •with .crenel- ated tops, ". In the center of Kairouan wo- men and girls gossiped as they . filled earthenware jars from. pipes alternately gushing an.d trickling water into troughs at the base of a equare white build-. ing, If the pipes squirted on one side of.the building, they barely trickled on the .other„ and then reversed,, themselves in a puzzl- ing way, Beneath the low round- ed dome of this building lay the answer to this behavior. A broad worn stairway led up- ward into the heart of the build- ing, to a landing above. 'On the landing sat an elderly Tunisian in a broWn robe and as one ap- proached him up the stairs, a peculiar, rhy th nr i c, rushing sound assailed the ears, louder as one mounted, The man bowed and nodded toward a doorway to one. side. Through that door was a scene, perhaps offensive to some, but astonishing to all, writes Ifarry B. Ellis in the Christian Science Monitor. Bullring huge in a small Ivom was a blindfolded camel, pacing swiftly around a well shaft in the center of the room. A long wooden pole, like a 'boom on a 'nest, was attached at one end to the well shaft and at the other end to the great beast. As the camel padded around the room, swiftly, silently, water was car- --Tied up from the well in earthen pitchers strapped all around the rim's of two huge wheels.

March is a good month in which to include some of those cooking tasks which are less at- tractive in warmer months. At our house for instance, we plan to make another batch of mince- meat. For many people there's nothing more tasty than a mince- meat turnover on a picnic, and mincemeat pie always seems to strike a responsive chord with our guests. The first time I made mince- meat some years ago I was as- tonished at its relative simplicity. If you have time and inclination 'to cut up various foods, you can easily make mincemeat even if you do not feel you are an ex- perienced cook. The recipe I use is one of my mother's, but she in turn received it from older members of the family, and probably Its origin is old. Near- ly everyone who makes mince- meat adjusts the recipe to his own liking by adding or sub- tracting spices, writes Gertrude F, Lancaster in the Christian Sci- ence Monitor, The base is 2 pounds of top of the round beef cut in chunks. I always use top of the round because of its superior flavor. Cook the meat until done, and save the juice (there should be about 2 cups of liquid), Put the cooked, cooled meat through a grinder with 1/2 pound suet. (My 2 pounds of meat 'made about 3 cups of cubed meat before I ground it.) ,, * Put the meat in a large kettle and add the following: 42 cups (about 4 pounds) of chopped apples (we peel and core the apples, then chop until they are coasely chopped); 31/2 cups white sugar; 1 cup molasses; 1 pound seeded raisins (wash quickly and lightly under hot water); 1 pack- age seedless raisins; 11/2 pound citron, slivered; 1 cup vinegar; 2 cups orange juice; juice of 2 lem- ons; 1 teaspoon salt; VA pound butter; 1 teaspoon each of cinna- mon, cIoVes, nutmeg; 1/2, teaspoon allspice; the juice left from cook- ing the beef. * Stir this mixture gently and cook very, very slowly for about 11/2 or 2 hours, It insist be stirred occasionally and watched to see that it does not burn on, but it will not if the heat is low enough. Put in sterilized hot jars and seal at once. This quantity will make about 10 pints, possibly a bit more, It makes a rich Mincemeat, not too highly spiced. * * Try Mixing same cans of soup for variation to serve with your latest loaf of. homemade bread for a Sunday evening supper, Here is a chowder made by corn, bluing bean and vegetable soup.
