Aphids, or plant lice, are small, •

Out thing that's bound to

housewives hesitate to bake their
own bread because they don't
have the time to spend long
hours in preparation, especially
If they are unstire of the end re-
sult. However, nowadays baking
with yeast is not nearly as com-
plicated as some people think,
Many recipes are so simplified
that the time involved is no more
than that required for ordinary
baking. And rigid testing of
recipes before their publication
ensures even the novice baker of
successful results.
Typical of the many yeast

this robustly flavored bread
made with cornmeal and molas-

the dough. The ingredients are
mixed in one bowl, turned into
the baking pan and allowed to
rise just once before baking. Af-
ter the bread has baked, the top

sits tight-lipped during emu•

Council on the Congo situation.

paper. They invariably grow up
into old men who blame the
world for their failure.
Toothie is a small Pakistani
boy who lives next door to us
with his eight brothers and sis-
ters. Ile is around seven, with
black hair and shining eyes, no
teeth at all in front, and a smile
to charm the birds from the
trees. He Is a dreadful person.
Ile has intimidated twelve men
working on 'a new apartment
house next door. There is no ex-
change of conversation. Toothie
speaks solely ' what might be
called Edentate Urdu — but he
watches them. His critical eye
trues up wall faces and floor
planes (the plumb line and spirit
level seem to be used but spar-
ingly in Turkish building). And
I have seen grown men, after the
boy's stare, go back and reshape
surfaces and angles, cold eye
meeting cold eye.
Toothie does not go to formal
school, though he has been at-
tending some classes run by an-
other Pakistani mother for her
own children. She is a graduate
in pedagogy and she told me
recently: "I teach them English,
French, and a little beginning
arithmetic. The boy learns so fast
I can't keep up with him, I was
giving them the tables of threes,
I turned my back and there he
was, acting out three tithes three,
Something will have to reduce
him to size, but what? And to
leave him untrained," she added
quietly, "is to waste an intelli-
gence which is one of our most
precious-assets."
And Toothie seems to be an ar-
dent disciple of the current Ame-
rican shibboleth, "entering in,"
I came home one 'day to our
fourth-floor apartment to find
the boy standing in our draw-
ing room, band in pockets, sur-
veying the preee: I had the door-
key still in my hand. He grinned,
unconcerned, and taking my
hand, showed. how he had climb-
ed from his balcony to ours — it
is a sheer drop to the Street over
a waist-high balustrade of iron
lace. He climbed back and I
swallowed hard when he stood
clear on. his own balcony again,
But in the late afternoon,
when the whole family goes out
for a walk, a flower garden of
small heads nodding above taw-
ny and scarlet and pale green
trousers and jackets, the boy
marches behind with a proud
strut. He kicks at boulders, pos-
sessively, stern eyes upon the
world; at this' moment he Is an
anachronism of seven, watchful,
pompous, and tough. And at this
moment his favorite sister, about

Maestro Fantini (Captain, if
you like military titles) is con-
scious of his responsibility, He
has conducted the 102 - piece
Carabinieri band for 13 years.
Fantini and his band toured
e-ice Usse
York, Washington, St, Louis,
Chicago and., as, he puts it, "en
Oklahoma even." Even before
he donned his Carabinieri uni-
form, Fantini was considered to
be one of the country's finest
musicians and professors of
music, of La. Scala and Milan
Opera caliber.
A year before Fantini was to
pick up his baton and lead his
band in Olympic numbers on
Aug. 25, 1960, the International
Olympic Committee began dra-
gooning piano copies of the an-
thems from countries represent-
ed.
From these versions, Maestro
Fantini worked up •instrumental
copies for his Carabinieri band
and the other five groups,

bootheels they were, for some-
one had equipped the boy with
an American cowboy suit, He
clanked with small hardware, On
his head sat a cowboy hat; in his
arms he carried a shapeless
paper sack,
It was seething with frustrated
life. We were tote far above the
street to hear more than some
-feeble noises. But Toothie's fa-
ther, walking ahead, turned and
looked at his son sharply, He
said something crisp in Urdu.
Toothie looked up from under
the wide hatbrim and answered.
The father jumped as if he had
been pricked, but the five young
uncles, looking up from their
loading, exploded into a roar of
laughter, And suddenly we knew.
A lean and raffish cat had been
living with her kittens in our
basement. She had a clagage,
bootless air which had apparent-
ly endeared her to Toothie, for
we used to see them together,
the cat defiant and yowling,
Too thie patiently picking up her
young and forcing her to cherish
them. He hadn't gathered the
mother into his sack, wise
enough intuitively' to know she'd
make her way somehow, But
Toothie, a gentleman, couldn't
abandon his dependents; he was
intent on conveying them to se-
curity in Karachi.
The six tall men stood looking
at the child, his face small and
pale under the hatbrim. The
mother had emerged from the
doorway, her soft face strained
and unhappy. Then the father
said something quietly, to his
younger brothers, and solemn-
eyed, they nodded. The man
leaned down and kisSed his son,
and one of the uncles, quick and
tactful, swung the child up into
the loaded wagon.
Toothie's tall scholarly father
put an arm around the mother's
shoulders, We couldn't hear what
he said, of course, but it must
have been something like; "Don't
cry — the boys will be good to
him. And my mother will see
him often, It's only a little way
from our village, remember?
And you can go home next fall
and see the boy."
The mother nodded and stood
patting mechanically the sleep-
ing baby,
We expect sonic time to see
Toothie again; perhaps when he's
fifteen and probably running an
. overall factory. At thirty-five

didate for Prime Minister. At

about that — it will he Toothie's

uncles arrived suddenly
from Pakistan. They had driven
overland from Karachi and -their
dusty station wagon was piled
high with food cartons and gas
drums, water bottles, sheepskin
coats, copper trays and bright-
colored bundles. The tall, un-
shaven crew -tumbled out, hand-
some, dark, ilith flashing white
teeth. They 'began to pound
themselves free of dust, shout-
ing greetings at all nine of
Toothie's family waving franti-
cally at the windows.
The children came frothing out
to carry things in, Behind them
marched the young men, laugh-
ing and embracing shoulders
and scattering magic like charac-
ters from a fairy story.
We didn't see much of the fam-
ily for some days; there was
party after party. The young
men went to their Embassy in
proper dinner clothes, with girls
in exquisite saris. There was
tea at all hours and homesick
young wives earning to call for
news from upland villages; rides
out to the park at the water
darn; songs at night which sent
up memories of evenings of our
own in the high Hindu Kush
when the nomad tribes were
passing.
At last, of course, the day of
parting,
I met Toothie's mother in the
hall: she gave me a ceremonious
how, her head turned aways She
had been. weeping,. Toothie's fa-
ther and one of his 'brothers
stood talking, quietly. The moth-
er stayed a little apart, her face
covered, But she nodded silently
as they all turned and went in,
And then, of course, the news
was all over • the apartment.
Toothie was going home with his
uncles. He was to go to' school
in the Himalayan foothils, up
near Rawalpindi, where his fa-
ther and his uncles had been
educated, writes Hazel Bruce in
the Christian Science Monitor.
"He is all for it, excited," my
slight teaching friend told me
as we met in the hallway. "It
is, of course, what must happen,
The child is too Valuable to let
him waste here ... he will speak
good Urdtt and some other lan-
guage when he is through there
— English and French, of course,
and a little Arabic — enough to
read the Koran, certainly. And
he will be trained for govern-
ment; our. capital is moving up
that way, you know, and we
must have more able Young peo-
ple to serve in it."
"I know," I protested, "you are
right. But how is Toothie going
to get along, thrust out of this
* warm nest of young puppies?"
Her thin face finished. "I
know," she said. "I went through
it, too, But I was older. Ile is
young enough to forget .— may-
be!"
The gaiety went on for another
day: then at five in a chilly dawn,
We heard the station wagon be-
ing loaded. All the Toothie Pants
ily was up, cerryifig things out
and. running back for things for-
gotten. Toothie's mother stood,
ti silent, shawled figure just in-'
side the doorway. She held The
