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! t Z....$ y,: :vFs:? �., "'s' MINIATURE MASTERPIECES — Art comes to the French postage • stamp for a good cause.

Clarke 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- marks but just let one of them get sick and the farmer will ISSUE 50 — 1950 forego a night's rest keep watch over his sick at any time. 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 barn loading cattle, all of whom Partner has raised from heifer calves born right here on the farm. ' We hate to think of them ending their lives at the stock- yards. But there is no alterna- tive. They have outlived their usefulness as milk cows and for breeding purposes but I suppose they will still make beef — of a kind,' Two of them certainly will as they are being sold as butcher heifers, so there should be a few good steaks on the market, •And so activity begins again to animal T after an usual( -y quiet week -end. We looked for. the Toronto folks .but David had a touch of stomach flu so they didn't: come, Maybe the flu was the result. of , too much excitement, ' His parents took; him to the Royal Winter' Fair and while they wRre;watch- ing' the saddle, horses''pne man asked Dave 1f he would like a ride. ' Dave, being crazy about hor"ses, was all for it. Art lifted him on to the horse's back and the fellow took him around the ring, It is, doubtful if any horse ever had' a prouder' mount! As for the other small fry, Bob took Babs and the children to London on Sunday, their last visit before leaving for Elliot Lake. When that will be depends on how soon their house will be ready, Watching day ` by day developments on a house you are waiting to occupymust be quite an ordeal, • besides having _ to move into it before it has a chance to settle, However, you would at least be on hand to discover, and remedy, the weak spots in the plaster. Ah, there goes the truck with our cattle — a little bit of. Ginger Farm that we shall never see again. We still have a few left, but, not many. Among them are our pet 'twin heifers; , that are at present pasturing near the back of the house. I hate to think what would happen these days if Part- ner still .had ten or twelve cows to milk. Dentists' Blues These million dollar sales of toothbrushes, m 1111 o n dollar sales of toothpaste, -and countless 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 to pieces with bowie knives (four box tops and fifteen cents) in the Hopalong belief that a Dream Dresses For :a redskin lurks, underneath. That's why every dentist en- courages the copywriters, 111 there are no decaying teeth because of cleanliness and ade- quate diet, there .will be nt children in the dental office, NQ more .of .

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.

Under : construction at the Elec- tric Boatyards, the 'Triton will be powered by two atomic re- actors. Spokes of "wheels" are temporary supports for -the cir- eufar frame. Among all of the persons Jn- terviewed only Gen, Gerow, re tired from the Army and a bank- er in Petersburg, Va., and Adm. Stark believe that there are no unanswered questions left today. "It's all done and I think the• public knows all there is to know about it," Gen. Gerow says. (Next Week: Some of the Answ (Next Week: Some of the Answers) 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 - . ptjything this season, their buyer just left New York. Then it; must be Lipschitz and Son. , , . But then, again, •he wouldn't go himself; he'd send a .salesman. ... Say, wait a,mintlte. , .. That 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.

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.

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.

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. areer .cbh �YQ1 And if you ladies need a re- fresher course of your own, here is a roasting chart for your tur- key.

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," DIAGNOSIS - rr Confucious 'may have 'said: "Salesman who cover chair in- stead . of • territory, always on bottom!" ' Using : And Abusing•Electriclty • While fatalities are " rare,' nor .electric: Shocks are quits common.For the most part, 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.

H.P. motor may have been installed; a percoldtor, 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.

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 youngest daughter, sire." "Why is she crying?" "Because she is cold and hun- gry," he was told. "Take this gold vase, sell it and buy food for the children," the King replied. It was -the last thing of value left in the palace, When Isabeau heard of her husband's . return to sanity, she was frightened, All France rocked of stories of her scan- dalous life. Her present lover, Louis- of Orleans, urged her to flee with the children. Fortun- ately for them, Isabeau .was cap-' tured_: and sent. to prison and Katherine was removed to a convent. Her father died and it was years later before she saw her mother again. Katherine had grown into a beautiful young woman and the wily Isabeau saw in her a pawn. "We must try to marry you off well," she said. She had Katherine's portrait painted and sent to Henry V of England who was waging war against France, ' When Henry saw the picture he sent back L note demanding the Princess' hand in marriage together. with France as a dowry. Isabeau was furious, but she had no choice but to comply, , for France was ravaged and bleeding, Katherine, who was passion- ately . in love with the soldier King, cared for nothing so long as she became his wife.

The decision to come to London for the birth of Katherine's fourth • child, and 'at the same time to seek pardon from the young King and.. recognition of their. marriage, was' a brave one. ••Unfortunately, once in London, Katherine put off the interview with her son. The . wife of Humphrey the Protector paid her an unexpected .visit and noticed Katherine's condition. This piece of news she trimphantly reported to her husband, One morning the doors of Katherine's bedroom burst open and the Protector's soldiers came in to arrest' her. The children • were taken away, Owen was imprisoned in Newgate, and Katherine in Bermondsey Abbey. Poor KatherIne! The strain- of the past years had taken toll of her health and looks. After her daughter was born, the nuns realized that death was near. The young KIng was sent for and with her last breath Katherine begged for forgiveness and for the life of Owen Tudor and their children, Henry VI, who hardly knew his mother, was so moved that he granted her requests. He kept his word. Owen Tudor was released and the children cared for. So.strange is fate, that the grandson of these two lovers was one day to become Henry VII of England and••,the• founder of the royal Tudor line. BUCK LAW QUESTION Maine has never had a buck law.

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• - ' tabled shortening in place of lard, but this causes head shakings and dubious looks from others: You just don't tamper with great- great.- grandmother Catherine's . recipe!. 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!" . IT'S EASY Usually you can tell, by look- ing at ,a girl, what kind of past she is going to have, - BY REV R. BARCLAY WARREN, B.A. B.D. 1 The Way of Christian Love 1 Corinthians 13 Memorial Selection - N • a abideth faith, hope, charity these three: but the greatest el these is charity. 1 Corinthlaw 13:13. One is always humbled when he reads the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians. Paul's Hymn of Love searches the heart. The , Greek word here translated 'charity' is usually translated 'love'. And it is loves in its most exalted form. Ex- ample -'God is love'. 1 John 4:10. It is the love called for in. the great commandment, 'Thou shalt love', No wonder we long for the answering of ' Paul's prayer in our behalf: 'And this I pray, that your love, may abound more, and more'. Philip- pians 1:9. • To speak with the combined eloquence of men and angels; to be able to foretell the future; to have not only ' all human knowledge, but also secrets of God; to have absolute faith so as to move mountains; to give all, even one's life; all this with- out love is nothing. On the positive side, .in Mof- fatt's translation: 'Love is very patient, very kind. Love knows no jealousy; love makes no parade, gives itself no airs. is never rude, never selfish, never irriated, never resentful; love is never glad when other go wrong, love is gladdened by goodness, always slow to expose, always eager to believe the best, al- ways hopeful, always patient'. If ever mankind needed a baptism of love, it is today. Our store of hydrogen bombs, our United Nations (or should we say, Disunited Nations), our alliances, our diplomacy; these will not dissolve the hates, allay the fears, remove the suspicions, and Save us from destruction. We need Jesus Christ. Only as we repent of our sins and be- lieve on Him, shall we receive this love which is the very nat- ure of God. 'God so loved that he gave his only begotten Son . , . !. John 3:16. May we believe on Him. BLACK CAT TURNS {VIIiTE James W. Wright had a jet black Persian cat, Old Tab was always giving trouble trying to get at the canary. One day, while the cat was figuring out a new approach, the bird cage fell, striking the uoor with a loud clatter and rolling around noisily, The frightened cat ducked for cover. Old Tab disappeared for over 24 hours, When he finally show- ed again, there was a white ring around his neck. Wright says that the ring has spread now until only the cat's tail remains black.
