'Cooks' Corner' ' By Mary IR. Thaman 0 i —o Trick or Treat Specials Halloween is just around the corner, and as usual, the youngsters are taking advantage of the holiday with “trick or treat” jaunts to the neighbors. Perhaps you’ve been visited or anticipate the Halloween antics of the “kids next door” one of these evenings. Remember . when you rang doorbells at this time of year? You’ll want to be prepared. Whether it be a piece of candy, an apple or a cookie, have something on hand for the “trick or treaters.” Taffy apples rate high with the younger set and they are easy to make. Taffy Apples Select firm, ripe apples that are nnt too large. Be sure they are free from imperfections. Wash and stem and run a wooden skewer into the center of each. To prepare syrup, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juke or vinegar and % cup hot water. Mix thoroughly and boll to 290°F., or until it cracks when tested in cold water. t— Place the syrup over'boiling water >to keej>. it hot and to prevent hardening. Dip the apples in the syrup, coating each one thoroughly. Stand them on waxed paper to cool. I Another favorite with the “trick or treaters” will be .pop corn balls. Pop Corn Balls cups sugar. 1 cup water: 2 tablespoons vinegar. Vi teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon vanilla. L 2 quarts freshly popped corn. Boil the sugar, water, vinegar and salt until the syrup .hardens when dipped into cold water or until a candy thermometer registers 250*F. Add vanila; pour while hot over the pop corn and mix well. When cool enough to handle, grease the hands and form corn into ball; For a Halloween touch, wrap balls in orange cellophane and tie with narrow black ribbon.

Informal personal talks between the leading figures might do good and’could not do much harm. “H e.r majesty’s government have not given up this thought. But in all - international matters there is a limit as to what can be done by one government.’ < Churchill brushed aside a question about reports he might go to Moscow alone to meet Malehkpv if President Eisenhower refuses to attend a Big Fouf meeting of tonlevel leader’s. “1 am afraid I should be opening a very wide door if I undertook to confirm or deny everything that appeared in the press ” he said.
