INSPECTORS ARE BADLY NEEDED

War Department Calling For Skilled Men

Bight in step with this year’s stern requirements for a combination of beauty and utility in holiday gift selections are these aprons of silk coated with the synthetic koroseal m that the wearer may be sure her

dress won’t be spotted or stained. Styles are varied, from a nice tailored apron (note the sweetheart neckline!) bound in ric-rac, to a pastel-hued apron, cleverly laced with contrasting tape for emphasis on femininity.

MISSOURI TESTS USE OF PATROL

Jefferson City, Mo.—Missouri’s state highway patrol, a model force that some states have used as a pattern, faces a court test of its power to continue the criminal investigation work through which it built up much of its reputation. Attorney General Roy McKittrick announced that he would bring the test in state supreme court after a ruling from his office rigidly restricting the patrol’s activities prompted protests from civic and police authorities. McKittrick’s ruling was requested by Gov. Forrest C. Donnell following a preliminary opinion from the attorney general’s department which said the patrol must confine itself to enforcing highway regulations—that is, act solely as traffic police. Donnell sent McKittrick a long list of specific questions touching on the patrol’s criminal investigations, its radio system which has been used by virtually every large police organization in the country, and its general police activities. Uses Highway Funds To almost every question McKittrick replied that the operations were beyond the jurisdiction of the patrol because it draws its appropriations from highway funds. Use of these funds is confined by the state constitution to construction, maintenance and regulation

of roads.

o ^ Ship Limps In Despite Three Torpedo Hits London.— A German submarine commander decided that the British tanker Ensis would sink after he had fired three torpedoes at her, but the crew decided otherwise and sailed the ship 1,100 miles to Newfoundland. , _ . . And behind' this voyage lies;one of" the most dramatic stories of the Battle of the Atlantic yet told. Wireless Operator, Alan , Gillett, one of the first members of the crew to reach England again, described hOw they were torpedoed without warning, and the men ordered to the boat. When the boat had pulled clear, the U-boat rose from the water within 20 yards of them and, after inspecting the damage, fired two more torpedoes. Satisfied'that the Ensis would sink, the German pulled in his periscope and dived. Several hours later, members of the crew risked their lives to reheard the tanker for provisions and blankets, but .next (fay thh ship was still above water: Although her back seemed likely to break at any moment, the chief wireless operator and'others boarded her again, repaired the tfapsmttter and sent out an SOS. W r hen rescue ships arrived, the captain and crew decided to sail for Newfoundland—a n <i eight days lafer they crept into the harbor at

St. Johns.

:—o——— . 0PM In Control Of Tin Supplies Washington, Dec. 19.—Emphasizing effects of the Pacific war on imports from the Far East,. the government today took control over all tin supplies in the United States, including shipments already en route to this country. Donald M. Nelson, OPM priorities director, issued a four-point “freezing” order providing that! All supplies of tin shall be sub* lee to OPM allocation and subject to designation as to their use. No tin may be sold or delivered without Nelson’s specific permission. • ■ '

Hoosier Farmers Pledge More Food Indianapolis, Dec, 19.—The Indiana committee of the Agricultural Adjustment-. Administration announced Friday night Hoosier farmers had pledged themselves, in the food for , defense program, to produce 31 per cent more eggs, 13 percent more milk, 25 per cent more hogs, 12 per cent more beef, 47 per cent more soybeans and four per cent more farm gardens next year than they did this. H. Martin Yogler , of Hope, chairman of the committee and the Indiana agricultural department defense board, said farmers in Indiana had coihmitted themselves to exceed goals set up nationally for milk, eggs, pork and soybeans for grain but had fallen short in regard to beef marketing and home gardens. o Hobbyists Vie Over Pencil Collections Alhambra, 111. — It may not be something to write home about, but it’s plenty to write home with. Faddists of Alhambra and neighboring Edwardsville have taken the lead in their campaign to collect record quantities of pencils, plain and fancy. Nobody knows who started it, but one day recently the two comv munities became aware of their dubious honor by producing local men and women who claim the pencil-collecting records. Milton Koch, of Alhambra, can exhibit more than a thousand pencils. He has some which date back to the St. Louis World’s Fair, others which he had added from 1941 advertisers. Koch began his collection two years ago. Lawrence Landolt, 13-year-old Alhambra lad, proudly boasts more than 500 vari-colored and fancily designed pencils. He has written to companies which use advertising pencils and he has traded with neighbors who also have the bug. o —— Destroyer Named After Marine Hero New Orjeans—Mbs. H, L. Merrill of Nevf'.

RURAL CHURCH IN COME-BACK

Indianapolis, Ind. — An Indianapolis and a Louisville, Ky., minister have teamed up to bring about a come-back for the old country church. The old, deserted churches which line country highways once were the hubs of community religious and social life. Now they are empty skeletons. Dr. Alexander E. Sharps of Indianapolis and Dr. Frank H. Caldwell of Louisville have set about to change all this. They have a working plan already in operation. Their method began by importing the Rev. C. Morton Hanna from Grundy, Va., a man versed in the problems of the country church and who repeatedly has refused to accept pastorates in large cities. Rev. Hanna will conduct a seminary in Louisville for young clergymen who intend to conduct rural churches. At the same time he has taken over 12 abandoned churches near Charlestown, Ind., which he will use as experimental stations for his students. He expects the “laboratory” churches to indicate what is wrong with the country church today. Then he and his young ministers will try to correct the plight in their seminary. Dr. Sharp explained that the biggest trouble of the country church is financial. It is unqble to compete with the city churches jn matteirg qf salary; therefore, the , city churches draw the cream of the clergy. — ° Asserts Colleges Can’t Be Godless Huntington, Ind., Dec. 19.— The policy of Huntington College will be to improve educational efficiency, increase ,service by reaching a greater number of persons, operate on a balanced budget and maintain high Christian and spiritual ideals Without regard to sectarian harriers. Dr. Elmer Becker, newly inaugurated president, announces. “To educate without God fs tt? bring disaster and ruin to any people, and makes them a menace' tti other parts of the •world,” Dr Becker declared at a dinner given in his honor by the alumni, student body .and townspeople at the Hotel LaFontaine.

Sitting Bull Just Sat, Says Indiana Agent Salt Lake City, Utah—Military history to the contrary, Sitting Bull did not win the battle of (ne Little Big Horn—better known as Custer’s last stand. So says Clarence M. Groshell, a Salt Lake man- whose hobby for years has been Indiana research. Groshell says Sitting Bull was a mediocre fighter. Not only that— he arrived on the scene of the massacre when it was nearly over. The Chief really responsible for the Little . Big Horn debacle was named simply Gall, Groshell says. But he had able assistance from Red Cloud and Rain-in-the-Face. Chief Sitting Bull’s role was no? unimportant, however. The old chief was a wily politician and strategist, add he k^pt the Indians at fighting pitch. But when the actual bullets be-°-an to fly, Sitting Bull was doing just that—sitting. ASK MOTORISTS SAVE ONRUBBER Use Trolleys, Buses, Is Appeal Of Office Production Management Washington, Dec. 19.—The Office of Production Management asked this country’s 27,000,000 motor ists today to save rubber by using street cars and public buses where possible, and to hold pleasure driving to a minimum. The defense agency suggested that neighbors pool their automobiles, using only one to go to work, instead of- several, and urged housewives to harry home small packages instead of asking the*, merchant to deliver them. Where cars must be used, OPM asked observance , of 10 ‘rules to make tires last longer. 1. Have worn tires retreaded instead of buying new ones; the cost is usually about half that of a new tire, and will give, about 80 per cent as much wear.’ 2. Cut out high speeds; tires Ayttl last twice as long at 4t) miles an hour as at 60. 3. Inflate tires weekly to recommended levels. Never let pressure fall more than three pounds below recommended minimums. 4. Don’t stop short or make packrabbit starts. 5. sAvoid striking -curbs, road holes, and rocks. 6. Check wheel alignment twice a year. A tire one-half inch out ot line will be dragged sideways 87 feet out of every mile. 7. Repair all cuts, leaks and brakes promptly; delay may cause damage that cannot be repaired. 8. Change wheel positions every 5,000 miles. 9. Always get the tire made to fit the rim of your car; check with your garage if you are not sure what size tire you require. 10. Don’t speed around curves. o— Colored Group Is Asking for Parole Indianapolis, Dec. 19.—A 90-day Christmas parole for D. C. Stephenson, former Ku Klux Klan granddragon who is serving a life term for murder, was askeC of Governor Schricker today by a negro organization. ‘ The petition to the governor, asking a parole for Stephen in the name of “Christian tolerance” for “this unfortunate man who has 15 years of continuous incarceration” behind him, was sighed by Mrs. Blanche Shoecraft of Marion.. Mrs. Shoecraft, who left the petition with the governor’s secretary, said she was national president of the Colored Christian Tolerance Society. Governor Schricker would make no comment other than to say he hhd the petition under consideration.

-this statement is proverbial ly made about new brides, as though scrambling an egg were the easiest thing in the world to di). Vnd after all; the preparation of a

dish of scratftbled eggs is ah easy thing to do, but it does require a certain amount of knowledge, for just a little too much heat, or a trifle too much

stirring, and the eggs become grainy and curdled ih appearance, unattractive in appearance, and unappetizing generally. Scrambling eggs in a‘ double boiler over hot water is one way of insuring the fact that they will coagulate into a creamy, tender mass. An even simpler method, however, and one which uses direct heat, is made possible by the modern electric range. You see the surface units of these modern ranges can be set to furnish a heat just as low and steady as that provided by the double boiler. A spatula is a useful tool in scrambling eggs by this method and I like to dfee dt in this way. Just when the egg rhixture starts to coagulate on the bottom of tl^fe pan, the spatula is used to lift the thickened mass, allowing the liquid portion to run down underneath': This occasional lifting motion is the only stirring necessary, since the eggs coagulate evenly ahd slowly over the controlled heat of the electric surface unit. r .. Scrambled eggs are of the best consistency for serving if they are removed from the heat while they are still a little soft because the heat retained by the utensil and also within the mass of egg itself will complete the cooking before they can be * served. There is no end to the number orvariations of scrambled eggs that can be made. For a quick luncheon or a midjiight snack they may be piled high on crisp toast squares which have previously been spread with deviled ham. Peanut butter fans will find that peanut butter may be used in the same way With

delicious results.

The custom of serving scrambled «ggs with fish is perhaps less common. For breakfast, h o w ever, •ggs are especially tempting if

Ninth QuarermasteFs Training Regiment. The statement, uttered simply afid without affection, clearly illumined the secret of inspired spinfuai-singing, as wejl as the distinctive quality of the Gospel Singres. Not many professional singers of spirituals could claim, with Private Johnson, that’ they sang “straight from the Bible.” Private Johnson is a serious student of the Bible and believes thht spiritOals should he sung not only, in the emotional setting, but in the very language of Scripture. In arranging bis songs, he makes a careful study of the biblical subject, if it ifr explicit, and attempts in any oaae to absorb the spiritual atmosphere of the Bible. Such labor would be fruitless, of course, if the same feeling for atmosbpere did not also infuse the singing, but this quality the Gospel Singers possess in abundance. v- ;0— Legal Notice NOTICE OF ASSESSMENTS
