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,"

'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. (This soup may also be
made with cream of celery soup.)

Johann Strauss's "Tales From

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.

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.
