(U,S. Steel) that was immobilized by a strike of engineers and dock officers. More than 1,500 seamen, 7,000 miners and almost 3,000 railroad dock workers were idled by the strike, which tied up the daily shipment of over • 100,000 gross tons of iron ore. World's Champion Stowaway The world's champion stow- away—a brisk young German named Hans Etard—has smug- gled himself into seventy-eight ships, has illicitly •sailed the seven seas and travelled, passage free, over 100,000 miles. And is only in his early thirties! Hans started stowing away when he was only eight years old—hiding in a barge up the River Rhine for fifty miles and living on apples! This whetted his appitide for adventure. His next exploit was to travel under the seat of a luxury express from Cologne to Berlin. An old lady, a soldier, and a mall boy sat above him. When the boy dropped a chocolate and stooped to pick it up, Hans was nearly discovered, but he man- aged to reach Berlin undetected, and wangled his way past the barrier by pretending that he had been separated from his mother. For three days he saw the city in style, snatching free rides" en buses. At night he slept in a palatial hotel, boldly entering. ;find sneaking into a empty 'bed- room. As he grew older, Hans in- creased in daring. He crossed the Continent from Cologne to Con- stantinople on goods vans, changing from one to another, and earned his bed and board by telling his story in vivid fashion to travellers at inns along the route. Then he turned his attention to the open sea—and found op- Dorturities galore. "I made twenty trans-Atlan- Rlc crossings," he says, "and learned a neat stowaway tech- nique. "The trick is to select a princely vessel where high pas- senger rates are likely to leave several first-class staterooms un- occupied. One can then cross the Atlantic'in comfort." Hans bought a pet monkey and trained it to climb down a ven- tilator shaft and steal food for him from the galley. One day, however, a chef not- iced the monkey and followed it. The animal's entry into the stateroom nearly gave the show away, but Hans hid in a ward- robe and managed to escape discovery. His pet was held hostage, and Hans was at his wits' end to think out a plan of rescue. Eventually in desperation he he borrowed a .. stewart's white jacket, marched boldly into the galley and grabbed the monkey saying "Skipper wants this!" and made tracks to his new hid- ing place as fast as he could. Prefer Diamonds To Growing Rice The glamour of the diamond fields is tempting farm workers - from the paddy fields. The pro- duction of rice, Sierra Leone's basic food, now has fallen to a. point where it must import what it can from Burma, Pakistan, and Italy, Illicit diamond digging, deal- ing, and smuggling have grown to alarming proportions. Offi- cial measures to combat them do not seem to have been par- ticularly effective. Poor and rich alike include rice in their diet in this British colony on the northwest coast of Africa. For the rich man it may come to his table to be eaten with a chicken stew, highly peppered and with tomato and onion blended into it. The poor man's meal, or "chop" as he calls it, will be a humbler version, maybe on Sundays only, of the same dish, with the fowl replaced by a cheaper meat bought in the market. • Rice in Freetown is also scarce because it is finding its way upcountry to the diamond areas, where _unscrupulous deal- ers sell it at a shilling (14 cents) a tinful. In the markets, rice is meas- ured out in round tins, made to hold 50 cigarettes. A tin'ful of rice costs fourpence (about four, cents) — officially. But market inspectors seem to be winking at prices of fivepence, sixpence, and upwards. There is an official rice mill 4n Freetown where housewives can go to buy, if they are pre- pared to line up for, hours, but even there one hears talk of black-market dealing: Upcountry there are two rice depots, and more may be 'opened. The government is also trying to step , up rice production by introducing mechanical means of cultivation. But the lure of the diamond hunt remains strong. There is considerable local feeling that an inquiry should be set up into the distribution of rice, but nothing has been done so far. Meanwhile, the man in the street 'has to make do with a tinful less rice to go with his Sunday pepper stew. A man should readjust as in- clination leads him, for what he reads as a task will do him lit- tle good —Samuel Johnson. "Corn Starch Makes Smoother Sauces!"

Good Eating,... Good For Health If only there were some truth in the old saying that "fish is brain food", what a nation of quiz kids we would be! For, the fact of the hatter is, Canadians are eating more fish these days. A connotation of elegance is replacing the "poor man's" 1#1be1 that used to be associated wth fish and fish dishes. This is re- flected not only in the increased Canadian consumption but also in the seafood specialty rest- aurants which have sprung up in most large cities. Annual per capita consump- tion of fish increased four pounds during the period 1944- 54, raising the rate from 9.8 to 13.8 pounds. Moreover, the fish- ing industry hopes to boost this figure considerably over the next generation. Perhaps the most spectacular acceptance of a fish product is the over -night rise to promin- ence of fish sticks. Sales in Canada last year exceeded 5,000,000 pounds and estimates for the United States for 1955 run as high as 80,000,000. En- couraging from the Canadian point of view is the fact that a large part of this volume is represented by Canadian fish supplied to U.S. processors in block form. A peculiarity of fish sticks is that the characteristic flavor of fish is so modified that the food appeals to people who don't ordinarily care for fish. Between the bread crumbs, cooking oil and the seasoning, it hardly seems to matter what fish is used. The industry believes that Canadians will eat more fish if they are assured of a product of consistently superior quality and freshness. Hence, the at- tention being paid to this aspect of consumer requirements. In the early stages of fish marketing the most critical phase now is stowage time at s e a. The Atlantic fisheries scientists feel that the most im- portant thing being done to raise the quality of the fish in retail stores is to have a higher percentage of better quality fish arrive at the fish plant. In all of the research board's work the underlying thought has been to discourage holding the fish aboard trawlers or fishing schooners for any period longer than absolutely essential. Homemakers, . too, should re- member that most fish is tastier when cooked as it comes from the water. It isn't necessary to tenderize fish or to cook it in a slow oven to bring out the best in flavor. A few minutes in a hot oven or a quick fry in deep fat is the best advice to follow in cooking fish. Its flavor is inherent in its freshness and tenderness is natural, not in- duced. Nevertheless, the development of packaged frozen foods offers the brightest new opportunity for the industry. It permits properly frozen and handsomely packaged seafood products to en- joy the same economy of mass distribution as related frozen food items. Fish and chips is the newest dish to join such innovations as fish sticks and fish cakes. To retain the quality of frozen fish, packaging protection must be provided. It must guard against moisture losses as well as the loss of vitamins and vola- tile flavor. It must prevent exposure to the air which results CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING' ARTICLES FOR SAt.E SEND for this attractive Cookbook, compiled by a Gorman housewife. Send $2.00 in cash to: K.
