Safety Hints For
Chopping Wood
For tightness on handle. Re-
place weak handles,
Chop so that the axe handle
is as nearly horizontal as poss-
ible when the axe strikes.
Champion woodchoppers keep
their axes sharp — it makes
chopping safer and easier.
Of obstructions; keep chil-
dren and stock at a safe dis-
tance. Avoid bulky clothing.
Swing so that axe is always un-
der control, •
If possible, anchor wood so
that the ends will not fly up
when the axe strikes. Use short
strokes when` chipping ice in
water tanks and troughs or
when killing chickens.
When not in use, Place it
where it cannot be stepped on
or bumped and where it won't
fall.
Keep your eye on the point
where you want ' the axe to
strike,
BARGAIN
I bought it and took it right
home,
4'hough a use for it doesn't exist,
T knew I was wasting my
money,
But the price was too low to
resist!

Who are the real children —
the youngsters or the grown-ups?
Sometimes we wonder. Take the
Santa Claus parade. Why are
mothers and fathers — yes, and
• even grandparents — so willing
to take youngsters to watch the
parade that heralds Santa Claus'
entry into town? Why, indeed,
unless it is that. "kiddies' and
grown-ups too -o -o" enjoy equally
well all the fun and excitement
of the big event. Even if it is
only possible to watch it on
television you find just as many
oldsters as youngsters among the
viewers, I must admit Partner
and I are among those who share
in the fun. Saturday morning,
for instance, we dropped our
work and spent part of the morn-
ing watching Eaton's Annual
Santa Claus Parade. For the
children there is all the excite-
ment and fan -fare but I really
think it takes an adult to appre-
ciate the beauty, the pageantry
and the ingenuity that makes the
parade what it is. And what a
wonderful touch of fun and
fantasy it brings into our every-
day world, A world, which of
late has brought little but anxiety
and distrust to the minds of men,
particularly to those who remem-
ber the pattern that preceded two
former world wars. We must,
perforce, carry on with our daily
work, but wecertainly welcome
any distraction that takes us out
of ourselves and makes us feel
gay and carefree for awhile.
What a dull world it would be
if we lacked the power of enjoy-
ment. Imagine seeing a beauti-
ful sunset, a painting, or children
at play and yet not have the
awareness to enjoy any of it. Or
imagine living on a farm and
only able to think of the work
involved. Actually, every season
has its work, and its pleasure,
On most farms" at present there
is the usual pre -winter activity.
Livestock that has been free as
the wind all summer must now
.be driven or cajoled to the shel-
ter of the barnyard so they may
be shut in at night should the
weather get rough. But cattle
are ' peculiar creatures. They
resent sudden changes; they balk
at being tied up in strange stalls
and will do everything but stand
quietly while confinine chains
are slipped into place. But once
that has been done even a young
heifer becomes as tractable as
ari old cow. Apparently she rec-
ognizes her bdss " and the next
•day she puts up no resistance at
all. Unless she has been ill-
treated. A beast that has been
beaten into submission 1s liable
to give trouble for some time.
That, happily, seldom happens
on Canadian farms today. Almost
every farmer loves his livestock,
. particularly his cattle — and.
horses, if he has them, He may,
call them "ornery critters" and.
. make other uncomplimentary re-

And yet neither the farmer nor
his family can afford to get
overly sentimental about the
livestock because the time 'in-
evitably comes when age or
barn -room makes it necessary
for some of the stock to be sold.
That is the situation we are faced
with this morning. At this very
moment a truck is down at the

Dentists' Blues
These million dollar sales of
toothbrushes, m 1111 o n dollar

millions of‘allied dental pro-
ducts, make the mouth a fertile
field for exploitation. It all be-
gins with dentition, that physio-
logical force" that propels the
tooth through the `gum,
The youngster of five years
explains it, "Wadda yer mean,
I'm cuttin' teeth? The teeth are
cuttin' me."
As the child gets older, he is
taken for his first visit to the
dentist, The introduction is a
very simple one. The child bites
the dentist, then turns to his
mother and says. " I thought
you said he was. painless, Hear
how he's yellin'?"
Then little Delphina enters
dental office. Here's a child who
bites her nails so often her
stomach needs a manicure every
hour, Delphina is only eight
years old, .but she already has
so many cavities in her teeth
she must have had her mouth
open while she was passing a
shooting gallery.
While the dentist is attending
to Delphina's dental needs, he
is interrupted by a detail " man
from a pharmaceutical house
showing him the latest in anti=
biotics and three phone calls
from promoters of oil stocks.
Outside in the reception room,
all is bedlam. It is the Child -
rens' Hour. Magazines are be-
ing torn into shreds, and the
upholstered chairs are being cut

Who Was To Blame For Pearl Harbor?
By Douglas Larsen
NEA Staff Correspondent •
WASHINGTON = (NEA) —
"Why didn't I get all of the in-
tercepted Japanese messages?"
"Why did the lieutenant ignore
my radar sighting?"
"Why was the final warning
sent by Western Union- instead of
the Signal Corps?"
"And why has no oneever
been punished for the shocking
neglect of Pearl Harbor which
caused close to 3,000 deaths and
virtual obliteration of a fleet
and air force?"
Fifteen years later, such cues -
Bons still burn in the minds of
the men to whom fate gave key
roles on that black day in Ameri-
can history,
Millions of words- of congres-
sional 'testimony and scores of
books and articles — even now
being written — still leave some
of the vital questions • un-
answered.
Interviews with those key fig-
ures who are still alive, scattered
all over the U.S., reveal a dim-
ming al some memories, dismay.
at being reminded of the mis-
takes they made, outright irri-
tation at questions which .open
old wounds — and some new in-
formation. ••
Each one, however, has a ques-
tion or two which still gnaws
at his conscience and which, if
answered, might relieve a tor-
tured memory.
Of the nine men accused of
negligence or blame for Pearl
Harbor- in a congressional report
only four are alive. They are
Gen. George C. Marshall, who
was Army Chief of Staff; Adm.
Harold R. Stark, who was Chief
of Naval Operations; Gen. Leon-
ard T. Gerow, who was Army
Asst. Chief of Staff, and Adm.
Husband E. Kimmel, then head
of the Pacific Fleet. All but Gen.
Marshall granted interviews for
this NEA Service ,review of the
event.
Those dead include Franklin D.
Roosevelt; Henry L. Stimson,`his
Secretary of 'War; Frank Knox,
his Secretary of the Navy; Cor-
dell Hull, his Secretary of State,
and Gen, Walter C. Short, com-
mander of Hawaiian troops,
At 73, Adm, Kimmel is alert'
and spry, retired with his wife
In a rambling modern home on
the edge of -a golf course in Gro-,
ton, . Conn.
"I don't carry Pearl Harbor
around on my back 'any more,"
he says quietly, "but they keep
reminding me of it." .Much of
his mail still concerns .that day.
He has written a book .blaming
lack, at information from Wash-
ington . for his having the fleet
bottled up in .the•harbor, making ,
it an ideal target.'.
"For •example," he recalls, "on
Nov, 18, 1941, Washington de-
coded a ,message ' from Tokyo
ordering a Japanese, agent to re-
port details of .vessels anchored
in Pearl Harbor. Why wasn't 1
told of this?"
He,adds; •
"As late 'as Dec. 5, if 1 had all
of the information that the Navy
In' Washington had, I could have
lent the fleet- to sea. Even on ` the
morning of Dec, 7 'the Navy had
time .to warn me so that I could
have moved the light forces out
of the harbor and prepared for
the attack," ,
The man responsible for not
supplying Adm, Kimmel with
this information . is Adm. Stark,
retired on a 'farm. in Pennsyl-
vania, and also tn;goed health
and ,spirits,
• "I have .choses . nevir , to • an-
swer or'comment ron_the.charges
In Adm. Kimmel's book," he says
somewhat .sadly : and 'then adds
With ;some 'heat; "I can 'only say
that : It's ,hindsight ` — second
gassing,' of which there has been
too :much ,about Pearl Harbor."
Joe Lockard, the soldier who
spotted the attacking Jap planes
on his radar that fatal morning,
only to have the information ig-
nored by the only officer on duty
''in the warning center, is now a
draftsman in an electronics plant
in Williamsport, Pa. He's quiet -
spoken ,and a little reluctant to
recall the whole thing.
"It's all sort of hazy today,"
he says, "but there's no counting
the times I've 'wondered how
many lives might • have been
saved and ships left on top of
the water if the information be-
fore my eyes on that morning
had been used properly."
Joe was at a radar station
called Opane, He called to re-
port a 'large pulse' on his scope
which was not' accounted for by
flights of U.S. planes. On duty
in the' warning center several
miles away was Lt. Kermit A,
Tyler.
"It's all right, there's •nothing
further you can do," Tyler told
Lockard, who was then a private.
Tyler and Lockard have never
met face-to-face to' this day. Ty-
ler is now a lleutenaiit colonel in
•the Air Force at •Ent Air Force
Base, Colorado Springs, Colo. It's
the headquarters al the Contin-
ental Air Defense Command.
"I was not alarmed at Lock-
ard's message because there was
no feeling that this could be
enemy aircraft," he recalls today,
also reluctantly. ';It's obviously
not a pleasant memory even after
15 years." '
Explaining its effect on his,
career he says, "Nearly all of my
contemporaries are` in the lieu-
tenant colonel or colonel grades
and there is nothing in my record
to indicate that this incident has
had any effect oilb way or an-
other," ,
Joe Lockard still wonders why
his "big pulse" was ignored.
Former Sen. Homer Ferguson,
one of the most aggressive mem-
bers of the `congressional com-
mittee . that investigated • Pearl
Harbor, is today a member of
the U.S. Court of Military Ap-
peals.
"There are many unanswered
questions about Pearl Harbor,"
he says, "but President Tru -
man's order restricting the com-
mittee from getting at some of
the facts prevented the whole
truth from being told at the
the time.
"It's doubltul now that the pub-
lic . will ever find out all about
Pearl Harbor."
One of the key unanswered
questions .Judge Ferguson poses
is why Gen. Marshall's final
warning to Gen. Short at Pearl
Harbor on Dec. was sent by Wes-
tern Union instead of through
military channels.

Sherlock Cohen
• No one can handle Jewish
dialect better than Ezra Stone,
One of his favorites concerns
two cloak-and-sulters,
"How are you Cohen?" cries
Lapidus. "Where are you going?"
"Me, I'm going to Chicago."
"So am I."
"And what business are you
in?"
"In the cloak and suit line,
Coehn. And you?"
"The same thing."
"Say, Cohen, do you remem-
ber the swell parties we used to
have at Rose Lipschitz's house
in Brooklyn?"
"Boy those were the days."
"You said it."
They talked for a while, re-
miniscing about old time, but
somehow Cohen wasn't satisfied
with this set-up,and he begins
to think to himself:
"This guy Lapidus is , a cute
fellow. He' tells ,me he's going
to Chicago, but hy should he
tell me the truth? He'k in the
same business. I'll bet he's go-
ing to Cleveland. Why should
he go to Cleveland? He must
be . going to' see Ruger Bros.
They probably are going to give
a big order of' dresses and he's
trying to get the whole thing.
"No, that can't be. He's a
pretty prosperous manufacturer;
• he wouldn't go to see Ruger
• himself. He'd .send a salesman.
• Maybe 'he's going to Miller
pros.? -No, they ain't buying

just left New York. Then it;
must be Lipschitz and Son. , , .
But then, again, •he wouldn't go
himself; he'd send a .salesman.

old man ,Lipschitz is Rose Lip-
schitz's father, the girl he used
'to go with in Brooklyn, I'll bet
he's still nuts about Rose, I'll
bet 'he's going 'there to get en-
gaged to be married to Rosie."
' With a sly .smile he turns to
his friend.
"Congratulations, Lapidus."
"How- did you • know?" cries
Lapple, ,amazed.
"I t was obvious," says Cohen.

Diet Or Not?
The human body is in a quan-
dary today. Millions of adver-
tising dollars teach us to eat
our vitamins and put weight on
ourselves. More millions of ad-
vertising dollars, particularly
the institutional ads of the large
insurance companies, warn us
of the pitfalls of fat. '
What are we to do?
Exceed the feed limit?
Or take that most difficult
exercise of all, lean against the
table and push it way with all
our might?
Usually the mirror, not the
doctor, tells us what to do. If
we become as broad as a quarter
past nine or, as J. B. Priestley
describes it, a vast waddle of
womanhood, we turn to diet.
And the comforting assurance '
we get from this discipline is
furnished by Paulette Goddard.
She says that if a girl doesn't
watch her figure, the boys' won't.

The Farts Forum of SS. No. 9, Hui -
lett, met Monday evening at the home ---
of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Daer. The topic
was a panel discussion on the Domin-
ion -Provincial Conference, held at Ot-
tawa recently.
Following is a letter received by Mr,
and Mrs. Chas. E. Asquith last week,
from their daughter-in-law, who, with
her husband, A. Reg. Asquith, are at
present on a two-month trip to Eng-
land and Europe. Mr. Asquith since
his graduation, has been a development
engineer with Aluminum Goods, Lta,,
Toronto. which is a subsidiary of the
Aluminum Co. of Canada. His trip has
' included visits to the plants of Alcan
subsidiaries in England, Norway, Swed-
en, Denmark and West Germany. The
letter was written from Gottingen, Ger-
many, which is an old university town
made of houses of red slate roofs and
cream stucco with dark oak beams
showing .on the outside. It is a larger
city than Kingston, Ont., about 80,000
people, who look very well dressed. She
described the shop windows as adver-
tising goods of good quality, A Swiss
chnp who lived in this place, and who
spoke German, took them on a trip ut
one of the company's cars (Mereules-
Benz) to the Iron Curtain, the dividing
line between East and West Germano.
which is about 7 miles from the city.
Mrs. Asquith describes thus:—On the
west side there is no guard and you can
walk right up to the barbed wire fence
but on the east side they have ploughed
about 100 feet along the fence, dug up
ground across the road, and have gunrd
houses set up in the fields and the
road on the east side up to the fence is
unused, while on the west the good
road runs right to the fence where the
line runs through a woods a wide path
is cut in the trees. Along the east side
of the fence we were able to take pic-
tures. After that we went to an old
castle where the owner still lives but
has converted part of the castle into a
hotel where we enjoyed a cup of cof-
fee. Then we took a drive on the
Autaban, just like our highway 400, to
n city called Kassel, which is the worst
bombed city of Germany. The great-
est part of it is rebuilt and now is a
very beautiful modern city, but still
lots of evidence of destruction it hnd
suffered through the years. Most of
Use churches still htand in ruin. Every
block has spaces where the buildings
were burned, particularly an old castle
which had' been built about 1880. Only
the walls remained and it is now being
restored as a museum. There was also
n large German locomotive works at
Kassel. As you drive along the roads
other than the Autoban, you go through
the smell villages, Most of the farmers
live in these and go out to their farms
every day where they keep large flocks
of sheep, each with their own shep-
herds, with long coat, crook and 2 dogs.
On Sunday, we went to Heitz Mpuntnins
which were very pretty' after a light
snowfall, We drove on to Hennower,
another city which had been badly
bombed and rebuilt. On the Outskirts
of these cities are groups of very small
shacks in which people lived after the
bombings. We passed a silver mine,
still prociucing,attd an oil field where 9
pumps were pumping up this precious
liquid. Mr. and Mrs. Asquith expect
to sail for hone in the ntrar future.,

Death : 'Pact Vow
-Led To Haunting
"You'll" never convince me,
man. Life after death? All right
—prove iti"
Even as a third -year law stu-
dent at Edinburgh University,
Henry Brougham was a confirm-
ed sceptic.
The friend to whom he made
this declaration considered for
a moment. Then he asked, "If
somebody you liked or loved
appeared to you at the moment
of death, would you be con-
vinced?"
"Well, I might," conceded
Brougham reluctantly,
"Suppose we now make a
compact that whoever dies first
will appear to the other at the
moment of death?" the other
suggested.
To Brougham the idea was
little more than a joke. But
when his friend took out his
penknife and made a small cut
in his hand saying, "We'll record
this compact In blood," he began
to take the proposal slightly more
seriously.
The pact was drawn up, each
party to it using his blood as ink.
Then, as so often happens with
youthful stunts, the whole busi-
ness was forgotten.
We do not know the name of
the young man who challenged
Brougham. But the Scots lawyer
referred to him in his memoirs,
written years later when he was
a rich and famous peer, as "G."
Some years after their part,
Henry Brougham went with some
friends to Sweden on holiday.
The party did not include G,
who had joined the Indian Civil
Service.
Though close friends at Edin-
burgh University, Brougham and
G had since drifted apart. They
did not even correspond.
One day the party decided to
walk from Sweden into Norway
Their obiective was Gothenburg,
the Swedish port, the first leg of
a long hike.
The way was mountainous and
it was at one o'clock on a cold
December morning that they ar-
rived, exhausted, at an inn and
decfHed to stay there for the
night. They were famished and
cold, but the inn people were
hospitable.
To their delight they found
that the inn was able to offer
them the unexpected luxury of
hot baths. And Henry Brougham
sank hack into his with a sense
of voluptuous pleasure. Immer-
sion in hot water when he had
been so cold and tired induced
sleepiness.
He had been soaking for some
time when he chanced to look
at the chair where he had left
his clothes, and he was staggered
to see sitting there his almost
forgotten college friend!
The figure was precise and
clear and completely lifelike—so
lifelike, in fact, that as Brougham
sprang from his bath he collapsed
on the floor in a dead faint.
When he revived the spectre had
vanished.
Sugar Adds
Spice To
Sculpture
Scots have the reputation of
being hardheaded, and Brougham
was no exception, If, he argued,
I tell my friends about this they
will only laugh or say that I
have been dreaming.
So before leaving that inn the
next morning he recorded what
had happened and dated it Dec-
ember 19th, 1799,
Soon afterwards, Brougham
was back in Edinburgh, busy
with his law practice, when news
reached him that G had died
suddenly in India.
Going to a black box, Henry
Brougham unlocked it and took
out a folded paper.
Time had changed the writing
in blood to a dull brown, but
there it was, that solemn compact
made on a wintry night many
years before.
One can tell from reading the
great lawyer's memoirs that the
existence of that death compact
irked him, He would have pre-
ferred to have forgotten it, and
with it, the spectre in the inn,
But the legal mind is ever
hungry for evidence, and Henry
Brougham made it his business
to find out the date of his former
friend's sudden death.
DId he guess, even before he
had the evidence, that it would
be December 19th? And did he
realize that the hour of G's death
would coincide exactly with the
appearance of the spectre In the
inn? '
That's how it worked out: yet
Lord Brougham remained a
sceptic to the day of his death.
He wrote off the ghost as a
dreamlike illusion brought about
by extreme fatigue and the action
of hot water on exhaustion.
There are other cases of phan-
toms who seem to have appeared
in order to deliver a message.
For example, Pliny the younger,
a Roman writer who lived in the
first century A.D., tells us of a
Greek named Athenodorus who
was offered a fine house very
chean.
"Why is it so cheap?" he asked.
"It's haunted," he was told.
Being a sceptic, Athenodorus
decided to buy the house,
The first night he spent there
he was suddenly aroused by a
loud clanking. He sat up in bed
to see an aged man, loaded with •
chains, beckoning from the door-
way.
Trembling with fright, Atheno-
dorus rose and followed the ghost
out into the courtyard. There it
stopped and pointed to the
ground.
Having done that, it vanished.
The next morning Atheno-
dorus dug at the snot indicated
by the spectre. Finally, after
going deep, he came upon a
skeleton in chains.
The skeleton was given honour-
able burial, alter which, Pliny
relates, the hauntings stopped.

EDEN DROPS THE REINS — Retirement from public life by Prime

jrs TABLE TALKS
elate Andoews
The first part of today's .talk, is
addressed to the man of the
house — the one who, in most
families, is faced with the some-
times embarrassing task of car-
ving the Christmas turkey. Here,
with illustrations, are simple dI-
rections aimed at making the job
'easier. How To Carve
When you start carving, the,
turkey should be tipped on its
side with the breast toward the
table; remove wing tip and first
joint and place on side of plat -
ter or on side plate provided for
this purpose; remove 'drumstick
and slice meat off -parallel with
the bone; cut slices olthigh'meat
parallel to body of biker until
the bone is reached, then re-
move bone and slice remaining
thigh meat; begin at front end of
bird and slice until wing socket
is exposed, Remove second joint
of wing. Continue slicing white
meat until enough slices have
been provided, or until breast .
bone is reached.

Here are a few suggestions for
ways to serve your turkey as

Wagging Bees
Dr, Karl von Frisch, professor
at the University of Munich in
Germany, said: "Bees . talk. Fish
smell as well as hear,"
The professor paused to let
this sink in, Then he enlarged on
the subject, "Bees do not speak,
of course," he said. "They wag-
gle. They have different waggles
for different things. They have
two basic topics of conversation.
One is food, When a bee locates
ne.tar, by a certain number of --
waggles per minute, it tells the
home folks exactly how far they
will have to travel. It also wag-
gles in the direction of the nec-
tar."
The professor then talked
about' fish, "They smell food in
the water," he said. "They can
hear, too. Once we put a student
in an aquarium tank and played
a violin. He didn't hear 'it, but
the fish did. There is one species
of flsh, the knurrhahn, , that al-
most talks. The male makes 'a
soft growl, It's a signal., The fe-
male knurrhahn hears it and
comes to 'him. Then he stops
growling,"

• While fatalities are " rare,'

these are due' tothe faulty in-
stallation, care, and handling of ,
appliances and connections.
In addition, electricity ranks
u 'an important Cause of fire.
This is chiefly due;to overload-
ed • and short circuits, often in-
side the walls of the house.

The average house fifteen or
more years old — and for that

cluding washers, driers and
ironers, all of which take many
amperes, An attic fan with peo-
haps a 2. H.P. motor may have

dishwasher, refrigerator, mixer,
broiler and several other ap-
pliances may have been added
to the kitchen circuit; and a
television set and probably a
1/2 -ton. air conditioner to the
living room line. •
The result is overload, blown
fuses, and interrupted service.
Have you ever considered that
an electric broiler draws over
12 amperes, enough • to light
twenty-six 50 watt lamps?

When laundry equipment is
installed, a separate line should
be added (from. the main cir-
cuit), fob
Laundry appliances should be
plugged in wall receptacles —
not attached to overhead light
fixtures.
When an air conditioner is in-
stalled, unless a separate line, is
added you are apt to have an
overload, unless It is the small,
1/2 ton size„
The ordinary house fuse Is 15
amperes. If any number of ap-
plances are added to the kit-
chen circuit — especially broil-
ers or irons, an overload will
follow. The best answer is an
additional circuit.
Obviously, when, an electric
range is installed, a separate
line must be added, usually 220
volts.
Power machinery also re-
quires a separate line. It is
best to Install -a key switch,
which can be thrown when ma-

While many homeowners are
sufficiently skilled to make
some of these installations, it is
best to have major electrical
work done by licensed electri-
cians.

"She is ' Katherine, your

"Why is she crying?"
"Because she is cold and hun-

"Take this gold vase, sell it

an unexpected .visit and noticed
Katherine's condition. This piece

Great - great - grandmother
Catherine's Christmas cookies!
I can smell them yet -the first
thing we sniffed when; as chil-
dren, we, went to our grand-
mother's house a week or so
before Christmas! A . gingery,
cinamony aroma than pervaded
every room for a week after the
cookies had been made. And no:
matter what relatives we called
• on during Christmas season, we
could always tell by the fra-
grance•that met us at the front
door whether we would be of-
fered some of THE. ginger
• cookies.
I' can taste those cookies in.
memory, too, for I have eaten
them almost every Christmas
that I can remember, so hot with
spices that at first I wasn't sure
I liked. them, .But when the.
grown-ups praised them and ate
them by handfuls, I had to make
believe I enjoyed them too. And
then each year the taste grew
on me, until I was asking with
• the. older children alohg in De.
cember, "When are we going to
make great - great - grandmother
Catherine's ginger cookies?" I
am a grandmother now, so add
two "greats" to that name for
the present generatiqn of chil-
dren.
- Catherine, whose maiden name
I do not know, was a Philadel-
phian who married Frederick
Dickes. He came from Alsace,
and presumably brought with
him his mother's recipe for
Christmas cookies, and his wife
made some. Since that day in
the early 1700's every branch of
our family makes a full batch of.
"gingerbread" as it used to be
called, and sends a dozen or so,
cookies to each of the other
branches of the family to taste,
writes Mary Geisler Phillips in
the Christian Science Monitor.
Every year it's the same, Each
family thinks its cookies the besti
The others are done a little too
much, or -have a flavor of lemon
added, or are just•a bit too hot!
So you taste those that come in
the mail judiciously, turning over
a bite in your mouth to' savor
the spiciness, you try them on
your husband to get his judg-
ment, the children eat as many
as you will let them have, and
.the verdict is always the same.
The ones you make are best of
all!
Here is the recipe;
GINGERBREAD COOKIES
'7, pounds of flour
14 pound. freshly ground ginger
1/4 pound freshly, ground
cinnamon
1!s grated nutmegs (nowadays
we substitute '1% teaspoon-
fuls of ground nutmeg; I
haven't seen a nutmeg
grater for years) .
1- pound brown sugar
1 pound white sugar •
Mix these dry ingredients well -
with the hands before adding 3
pounds lard.
Blend in the shortening with
the hands, then add 11/ quarts
dark molasses, into which has
been put 1 teaspoonful baking
soda. -
Knead and mix with the hands
until a smooth dough is obtained.
Cut, then bake for. about 12
minutes in a.375 degree oven.
It used to be.sacrilege to make
these cookies 'fussy." No, they
must be . eft -inch thick, cut with
a' round cutter about 21 inches
in diameter and watched care-
3
fully to prevent burning. You
are not a true member of our
family if you waste any of this.
precious dough by burning a
single one. I must confess I used
fancy cutters for my children's
share, but the samples I sent to
other families,were always plain.
The making of such a large
amount of cookies is always a
family project -It's no fun unless
your husband and all the chil-
dren get into the act, each with
a wad of dough to punch and
press into a smooth round ball.
,Yoil never mix with anything
but the hands, and so first comes
the ritual of a good scrubbing
' of fingernails and removal of
rings. I used to wait .until my
husband would say some evening
in December, "I could help you
with
-the ginger cookies : this
evening -how about it?" "Yes,
Yes!" the children would shout,
shutting their school books, and
the eledst soon would go down
cellar to bring: hip the big gray
crockery bowl dedicated to great -
great - grandmother Catherine's
gnlgerbread.
Some families use their biggest
dishpan, ' others even use • the
wash boiler, for this is not just
an ordinary batch of cookies.
When you're done, you have two
or three hundred! At our house
these were always kept in the
gray -and -blue stone, vase -shaped
crock that stood in one corner of
the dining room. The original
lid was gone, but a large pie
plate did as well.
After inspection of hands and
the rolling up of sleeves, the
younger ones look on while
Father or one of the older boys
mixes the first part; dry flour,
sugar and spices, with the lard.
Squish comes the soft dough
through the fingers, puff comes
up the flourfrom the bottom of
the bowl. Advice is given freely
-"There's some of the dry left
on that side!" or "Better turn it
all over Dad, there's still flour
at the bottom!"
When esveryone is satisfied
that the sticky mass is com-
pletely blended, then comes the
hard part. The bubbly, yellow
soda -and -molasses is poured in.
The mixing now is real work for
R takes strong arm and hand
muscles to knead the whole into
a smooth dough. After a partial
kneading by Father, the small
children are given a wad to
pound and press, and finally a
smooth, dark brown, glossy dough
is produced, with not a sign of
any dry ingredients or smear of
Molasses showing,
Now a bit of the dough is
pinched off to taste, and usually
is pronounced perfect. We al-
ways did our mixing in the
evening, because the dough is
supposed to be allowed to stand
some hours before baking, to
"ripen."
Next morning the children are
excited for they are all allowed
to cut, after Mother has rolled
out the dough to an even thick-
ness. We always timed our bak-
ing for . Saturday morning, so
that all could help. Mother does
the baking, and if a child is al-
lowed to bake a few ovenfuls, it
marks a milestone on the road
toward growing up, because he
or she can now take responsi-
bWty. Watching the oven is 'a
'Aute privilege! To find out
whether a cookie is' done, you
' press it lightly with a finger, and
if the dent remains, you leave
the panful in for another minute
or two.
These cookies are rather chewy
if.underbaked, and some families
like them that way; other batch-
es may be very crisp ' because
overbaked, but. part of the lot
is always "just right." They are
hot with spice, and I. know that
most folks don't know when to
stop eating them. •
In making these cookies, you
never use, spices from the cup-
board - you always buy them
fresh. Some families • use vege•

but this causes head shakings
and dubious looks from others:

Legal Loopholes
Trick Justice
An assize judge in England
wondered recently whether he
could accept a naked footprint
as evidence against an , alleged
bare-footed burglar. In 'giving
evidence on footprints and finger-
prints, a Scotland Yard expert
mentioned that in twenty-eight
years he had examined millions
of fingerprints never. to find 'two
the same -and then the defence
counsel leaped up.
They. pointed out that if the
detective had examined only, a
million prints he would have had
to look at twenty an hour every
single working day for twenty-
eight years - and millions of
prints involved obviously double -
this task.
Though the burglar was con-
victed on other grounds, legal
loopholes often trick justice. Con-
victed of house - breaking, one
crook won an appeal because a
window was .open. He pointed
out that he didn't have to break
anything to get in,
An embezzler made a get -away
from England and escaped to
Australia. Detectives traced him
and the Home Office began ex-
tradition proceedings. But the
man's lawyers pointed out to an
Australian magistrate that a per-
son to be extradited must be
liable to the death penalty or
imprisonment with hard labor -
and Britain 'abolished imprison-
ment with hard labor in 1948.
On this technical point the man
was released.
• In West Germany an admitted
'member of a smuggling gang shot
and killed a man standing in a
doorway in East Germany. Ac-
cused of the shooting in West
Germany, he was able to prove
that the killing occurred in East
Germany where he had never
been.
When the East German police
tried to extradite him as a fugi-
tive from justice, he successfully
claimed that he couldn't be a
fugitive. since he had never been
in East Germany. But the West
German authorities successfully
imprisoned him for a maximum
term on a charge of using a
weapon with intent to kill.
Even a schoolboy startled a
juvenile court recently by his
astute defence on a legal loop-
hole, Knowing children to be
instinctively honest, the owner of
a sweetshop kept penny twists of
sweets beside a box with the
notice, "Take one and drop a
penny in the slot."
Carefully every day the boy
put a penny in the slot, but the
coin was fastened to a piece of
thread with which he whisked
it out again. "The notice tells
you to drop a penny in the slot"
he declared. "It doesn't say any-
thing about leaving it there!"
