Here are several recipes that contain honey and require no cooking. Tart Honey Salad Dressing Combine 5/ cup honey, 1 tea- spoon salt, 1 cup chili sauce, % cup vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated onion, 1 tablespoon Wor- cestershire sauce, and then add slowly 1 cup salad oil. Beat until well blended. Honey -Orange Sauce Blend well ee cup honey, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 teaspoon grated orange rind, and a few grains of salt. (Excellent on gingerbread.) Honey and Cream Cheese Filling Mix 3 tablespoons honey with a 4 -ounce package of c ream t cheese. Add a generous handful of chopped pecans, Lemon -Cream Frosting Cream until light Ile cup but- ter and add alternately '2 cups sifted confectioner's sugar and 3 tablespoons of honey. Blend In 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and vanilla and 2 tablespoons of lime juice and beat until fluffy. Use honey for a sweetener in a rich' vanilla milk shake — add a dust of netmeg. Sweeten a lime punch with honey — top with a mint leaf and lime wheel. Scoop out the center of half a grapefruit, fill with honey and broil. Serve with a green cherry. Use a tablespoon of honey in DOOR WITH MORE — It looks as if the owner of this car customized it with the phrase "traveling broadens one" in mind. Actually, this is not the case. The auto was converted by thieves to transport heavy storen safes. It is shown in Chicago. the batter of pancakes or waf- • fles. Serve with butter and more honey. Pour a generous amount of honey on a very hot buttered biscuit. DEFINITION A politician was asked by his son what a man is called who leaves another party and comes over to yours, "He's a convert, lad," answer- ed the father. "And what is a man who leaves your party and goes over to the other?" persisted the boy. "He's a traitor!" was the scowling reply. The man still seeking a place In the sun probably postponed his vacation until winter. Computers Are Smarter Than We Think By WARD CANNEL Newspaper Enterprise Assn. NEW YORK—Histories of the computer usually exhume a French mathematician and philo- sopher named Blaise Pascal as the first inventor in 1642. But nobody bothers to mention that he renounced the world almost immediately afterward and sign- ed himself into a monastery. Today, with so few hiding places left, computer makers are trying to brave it out. Interviews are shot through with reassur- ances that the monster is only a giant adding machine with a memory, an idiot merely doing what it is told by a progammer. But after its first 15 years of life, it appears that electronic data processing is a little more than giant idiocy. Computers can — or soon will: Not only solve a problem, but kings — that machine has a, fantastic resource of alternatives and systems. "We may never get all of man's experience and the proba- bility of all events onto a mag- netic core memory," a spokes- man for one of the largest com- puter builders says, "but we're coming closer and closer all the time." Whole fictional industries have been born, lived and crumbled in computers. The Sa- turn rocket for the moon shot will have been up and back thousands of computer times be- fore actual firing. Wars have been fought and millions have died in billionths of a transistor second. And the computer re- members them all — instantly, and in every 'detail. Not so strangely, then, the first 15 years of the computer THE ITEM held by the scient increases the internal speed rn'ik-o„ -,s to billionths of a a ist is called Thin -Film, which of electronic computers from econd. a:_ .d aritoragst the facts. The.- ....ng find it, build a ity -ern f., vr-... out. And, finally, remember how to do it the next time it's needed, Taken all together and done at well over a billion steps per hour today, it adds up to some- thing pretty close to thinking — and creaking. The machine isn't doing this out of thin air any more than the human mind does, Program- mers working with laboratory and office problems are building an immense memory of experi- ence into computers in the course of the day's work. And a machine that can simu- late the mathematical relation- ships of the sea and submarine design, of air end airplane de- s.'in of voting records and party elle a:anccs, of sealing wax And age have put time vastly out of The machine is now an inte- gral part of civilized man's en- vironment. But, says archeologi- cal historian Kurt Marek in his "Yestermorrow," this inevitably suggests the idea that man is a part of the machine's environ- ment, But, say the mathematicians, it will take another generation be- fore people begin to think in- stinctively about living in the machine's environment. For the rest of us dislocated, the old frame of reference about time and space will simply have to grow more grotesque as the computer age moves on. If 10 masons can build a house in 160 hours, it Is only right that 100,000 masons can build it in 58 seconds. TABLE TALKS To add variety to spice cake made from a mix try substituting applesauce for the liquid nor- mally called for. Add any eggs or other ingredients (except, of course, liquid) as 'usual, then add applesauce in the same amount as liquid called for in the direc- tions adding n/4 again as much. For instance, if the directions call for 1 cup of liquid, add 11 cups applesauce instead, Another tasty spice cake vari- ation is made by substituting mashed banana for the liquid in exactly the same way. + + * It seems to me that veal is the neglected child of the meat family, not nearly as appreciated as it should be. In many locali- ties it is almost impossible to obtain, and a butcher will say, 'People around . here don't use much veal." Perhaps its bland flavor is the reason, but given proper seasoning veal is de- licious, states a writer in the Christian Science Monitor. Of the following recipes the first two are French and the others are American —'all are delectable. VEAL CHOPS IN BUTTERED PAPER 8 thin veal chops ?4 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons chopped parsley 2 teaspoons chopped onion 2 teaspoons chopped chives 4 tablespoons chopped mushrooms Salt and pepper to taste Unglazed paper Butter Marinate the veal chops in the olive oil for 12 hours. Combine parsley, onion, chives, and mush- rooms. Cut 8 pieces of unglazed paper — your best stationery is not too good for this — large enough to envelop the chop and have a margin for overlapping. Spread the papers with butter and sprinkle with a layer of the herb mixture. Place a chop on each paper, cover with another layer of the herb mixture. Sprin- kle generously with salt and freshly ground black peppee, Fold the paper over the allele so that no steam or juice will escape. Cook (bake) 30 minutes in 300° F. oven. Serve with the paper on. + + * This recipe is one of the old- est known French recipes. It has been passed down .through the ages and is honored by both his- torians and gourmets. VEAL CUTLETS 6 or 8 veal cutlets 3 tablespoons butter. 1 cup stock 2 teaspoons chopped parsley 1 teaspoon chopped onion Salt and pepper Order individual, well -trim- med cutlets, cut 1/2 -inch thick. Ask the butcher to pound them, Heat butter in frying pan until it is sizzling hot, Sear cutlets 3 minutes on each side. Add stock, parsley, onion, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover. Simmer 20 minutes. Arrange the cutlets in a crown around a heat- ed platter, Fill the center with the sauce left in the frying pan or serve with a tomato sauce, * 7 a BREADED VEAL CUTLETS 2 pounds veal round, ae-to-If- inch thick Salt and pepper 1 cup corn flake crumbs 2 slightly beaten eggs 2 tablespoons water 6 tablespoons fat 1 cup milk 1101/s- or el -ounce can con- densed cream of mushroom soup Cut veal in 6 pieces; season.

New Search Starts For "Lost World" Undeterred 'by the face of twenty - five - year - old Richard Mason, the London medical stu- dent who was recently killed by Indians in the dense Brazilian jungle, an American, Dana Lamb, will setout soon on another ex- pedition into this dangerous ter- ritory. Lamb is convinced that some- where in the Mato Grosso jun- gles is a "lost plateau," so high that it may never have been trodden by the feet, of white men, where some prehistoric animals may still be roaming. Lamb believes that it was this plateau, long talked about by former explorers but never dis- covered, that inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to write one of his most thrilling adventure stories. Sir Arthur called it a "lost world." He declared that "time and the foot of man have not touched these summits." Lamb will fly to Sao Paula, Brazil, and push from there into the Mato' Grosso jungle, In his search for the "missing" plateau he is likely to pass through at least one region which last centurywas a reputed El Dorado and the scene of many thrilling searches for gold and preci?us stones in earlier cen- turies, Huge Auto Plant In Bonnie Scotland Up there in the legendary hills of old Scotland, the world's big- gest exporter of motor vehicles is building a new and revolu- tionary type of industrial plant, The British Motor Corpora- tion's latest venture is revolts- ' tionary in more ways than one, It is introducing a brand new industry into the land of kilts and bagpipes. It is a tradition - breaking. step toward decentral- izatipn of Britain's industry -- teeth both for national defense and for urban traffic relief. Furthermore, it will absorb 5,600 workers in the heavy un- employment region of Bathgate, hardly more than 15 miles South- west of castle -crowned Edin- burgh, Finally, the BMC train- ing program will add immeasur- ably to Britain's growing back- log of skilled workers. That answers most of the ques- tions this writer carried with him all the way from London to. Edinburgh, among them: why did the world's fourth largest manufacturer of motorcars de- cide to build a £11,000,000 plant (about $31,000,000) so far from Its traditionally centralized oper- ations around Birmingham and Oxford? It seemed completely incompatible with the long-time British policy of industrial co- ordination and econgmy. The strange thing is (strange to others than Britons) that the BMC did not go there volun- tarily. The growing demands for its Austin, Morris, Riley, and Wolseley motor vehicles called for some sort of expansion be- yond the current boundaries. But 260 Bathgate acres of "bog -burn" to be drained -from which 130,000 tons of peat and 500,000 tons of soil must be removed—hardly seemed the kind of land upon which the industrial giant would care to expand. Sir Leonard Lord, chairman of the BMC, thought of all that when he leaned across the desk toward General Manager, G. W. Harriman about a year ago and said: "We can no longer increase production without new factor- ies," But he did not add: "Let us find a new building site and get started." Building any sizable project in Britain is not that simple. This is a workaday world of some • 50,000,000 people living on a tiny island only slightly larger than the state of Iowa (886,485 pop- ulation). Land is Britain's most valuable and scarcest commodity. All construction plans. requiring the taking over of large chunke of land must be weighed care- fully and cautiously in terms o4 the general ,national welfare, So, a 'firm wishing to build a factory or extensi"n of more than 5,000 sq, ft., must obtain au Industrial Development Certifi- cate from the government and be assigned a spot in some designa- ted development area, This gives government control of industrial expansion. An industrial sievel- opment area is where unemploy- ment is rampant — and where traffic congestion is not yet a disturbing factor, writes W. Clif- ford Harvey in the Christian Science Monitor. One of these areas is Bathgate. "Build your plant in Bathgate,"' the government said to BMC, "and your construction site and financing are assured." The cor- poration agreed for many red- sons. Down in England's midlands, BMC's major Austin and Morrill operations are bursting their in- dustrial seams. Squeezing every ounce of earning power froth every square foot of factory ,space is common practice foe hardy Britons, Wasted •floc* area, wasted materials and waste ed time cannot be tolerated 14 limited land operations, But even hard-headed production practices sooner or later require the augmentation of new con- struction—somewhere. "That somewhere is no longe business -booming Birmingham," the government said. "Labor there is short and new plants have the tendency of pulling labor away from outside indus- tries and ,further jamming an area already jammed with tra£-, fic." All things considered, "let it be Bathgate," the BMC responded. The pattern is -now set for Britain's new industrial revolu- tion. Thousands of idle workers get jobs where jobs are most needed. Industry heads toward. decentralization. Urban traffic jams are discouraged instead of increased. The national backlog of skilled workers is swelled. Scotland gets an entirely new" - industry. And the highland coun- try's highway and rail transports, shipping, maintenance services and industries supplying the• myriad needs of the new plant are given a powerful boost. Not bad for the construction of a single 'industrial plant along the lowland road between Edin- ' burgh and Glasgow.
