Hints On Care Os Kitchen Utensils The care given to kitchen utensils helps to determine the length of time they will give good service and be easy to clean. Soda should never be used for cleaning aluminum because it pits and darkens the utensil; neither should foods be allowed to stand in aluminum since they also will cause pitting. Miss Gertrude Monhaut, extension home management specialist, Purdue University, recommends that only fine scouring pads or aluminum cleaner be used on utensils made of this metal. Darkened aluminum is not harmful to foods cooked in it. If this dark appearance is annoying to the homemaker, it can be removed by cooking acid foods, such as rhubarb or tomatoes, or by simmering water with a small amount of vinegar added. When® aluminum pans are stored, their lids should be left off or at least tilted. Miss Monhaut cautions homemakers to avoid bumping or dropping utensils, or knocking spoons against the edge of a pan. Such bumps can spring the opening of the pan, causing lids not to fit and permitting loss of steam. If food sticks to glass utensils they may be soaked ’in water. Scouring pads should never be used on glass, since this may scratch and decrease resistance to breakage. When cloudiness appears in glassware designed for surface cooking, vinegar water may be simmered in the utensil to remove it. Fine scouring powder without grit in it may be used on stainless steel utensils. If too intense heat is used, brownish spots may appear and these can not be removed. Climatological records show that about one third of New Mexico enjoys 3,600 hours of sunshine a year and the remainder, about 3,400. Aspencade, says the Chicago Motor Club, is not a drink, but a caravan of cars that annually visits the aspen-clad Sangre De Cristo Mountains, New Mexico, in October to view the glory of the turning leaves.

CAPITOL (By Charles A. Halleck, Congressman, 2nd District.) Harvest time in America is bringing to a successful conclusion one of the greatest production jobs in the history of any nation. With an assist from Mother Nature (and, at the same time, in spite of her disastrous misbehavior in some parts of the country) the farmers of this nation are turning in a magnijficent performance. The story of this achievement is told in a Department of Agriculture brochure prepared by Jack Stambaugh, a resident of Porter County now serving in Washington as assistant to the Secretary of Agriculture for defense requirements. By virtue of his temporary post in the government Stambaugh is also a member of the Defense Production Administration requirements committee. The booklet points out in simple terms why we need more food and fibre than ever before and I some of the problems we face in reaching our goals. The population of America has! increased by 20 million in the past ten years. On top of that, civilian per capita food consumption is 13 per cent above the 1933-’39 average. Add to these factors the extra burden of providing for the expanded op&etites of men in the armed forces and top the whole picture with a boost in exports 50 percent over the 1935-'39 average and you have the reasons for cur huge demands on the American farmer. The nation today is consuming food and fibre at a greater rate than we produced in 1950. And in spite of all our efforts th booklet points out that demand in 1952 will probably exceed our 1951 production. A great deal has been said and written about the high price of food. In this respect the brochure offers some rather interesting statistics. In terms of “disposable income,” which is defined as net income after taxes, people were spending 26 per cent of the money for food in the second quarter of 1951. Average amount spent during ttye 1935-’39 period was only 23 per cent. But don’t jump to the conclusion that food costs must be higher since folks are spending a bigger percentage of their paychecks for food now than they did 12 to 16 years ago. In terms of dollars and cents food costs are higher, but in relation to incomes they aren’t. Actually it would take only 19 per cent of this “disposable income” today to buy what 23 per cent bought before World W’ar IL We are spending a bigger slice of the household budget, percen-tage-wise, because we are buying more food. To maintain this beneficial ratio for the consumer, continued high production is an aboslute necessity. Unless needs are met by an ever-expanding production, food reserves, greatly depleted since the advent of war in Korea, will slip lower than ever and shortages will develop. Are we going to be able to keep up with demand? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, technological progress, through which we make our available acreage produce more abundantly, is the Key. It takes a quantity of farm products equivalent to the average output from four million acres of cropland to feed and dlothe the 2 million persons added to U. S. population annually. We aren’t putting that much new land into production each year. So we must turn to science for help. More and better machinery to take up the slack in available manpower, and enlightened policies of conservation are big factors in this picture. It is comforting to know that the American farmer has never let his country down. He won’t this time, either. The ancient (1592) Church of the Twelve Apostles at Las Trampas, New Mexico, was built by 12 men and took 12 years to build. Among the natural wonders of New Mexico, according to the Chicago Motor Club, are hot springs, ice caves, lava flows, dry ice fields and petrified forests. Seven miles of the famous Carlsbad Cavarens la the southern part of the state are lighted for inspection. KILL* the ACHE, BURN, ITCH at ATHLETES FOOT «»m O» YOUR 40c BACK.

ed out in San Francisco, Japan could be headed toward one of two directions. • • • As it did at the time of Pearl Harbor either the “ulbatsu” will drive the country back to fascism, or underprivileged people will drive Japan to Moscow. * • • And so, the mass of the Japanese people may revert to feudalism because their champion of economic freedom was, unfortunately, subject to orders influenced by those desiring monopoly. • • ♦ Unlike the average American, the average Japanese has no opportunity to protect himself from predatory monopoly. * • * In America the situation is different. There are champions of economic democracy seeking to protect the American way of life. AU they need is the support of the people. * • • That is why today, the work of such groups as the Senate Smail Business Committee headed by Senator John Sparkman of Alabama, is so vital. ♦ ♦ ♦ Peace can only be a stranger in a world, where monopolies are permitted to-ruthlessly grab control of aU business. ♦ ♦ ♦ In this nation, there are antitrust and anti-monopoly laws. The same sinister forces of greed that are working to deprive the Japanese people of economic opportunity seek to destroy these laws.

Inc., 1407 South Calhoun Street, Fort Wayne, charging failure to furnish the Government with records required by law, and failure to file a base report with the Indiana District Office of Price Stabilization, was granted by Federal Judge Luther M. Swygert of the U. S. District Court of Northern Indiana. “Every business in Indiana subject to price regulations must file with OP£,” warned Mr. Dwyer. “To protect the consumer and businessman now cooperating with the Indiana District Office, it is our duty to see that no business establishment is permitted to charge over the set ceiling prices. In order to obtain full compliance we will not hesitate to resort to the courts.” Gilmore S. Haynie, U. S. Dist. Attorney for Northern Indiana and Richard W. Sharpless, Director of Enforcement for the Indiana District OPS, represented the Government in the injunction suit.

THOSE WELFARE RECORDS ... Members of the Hoosier State Press Association, of which this newspaper is one, have been requested to clarify to readers the stand taken by the association in the extremely controversial (new) state law opening welfare records ■to public examination. Readers were eager to know what was behind the fight and why the Hoosier State Press Association Is interested. The following is an explanatory statement issued by the association: Articles of incorporation issued to the Hoosier State Press Association in 1933 set forth: “The purpose of this association shall be to safeguard and advance the newspaper profession and business of the State of Indiana, and to provide co-ordinated opportunities and facilities for that purpose among those engaged in editing, publishing, printing and allied enterprises, for the benefit of the public, the industry and. the individual members.'' « The underlines definitely place' responsibility on HSPA to safeI guard a right granted to the peo--1 pie in having newspapers that are free to publish news. It was the position of counsel when the welfare act was passed that the secrecy clause was an infringement on that right, granted to the peoFor some five years, publishers reported to the state office that they .were accused of withholding information on public welfare expenditures. Finally, in October, 1946, the HSPA board of. directors declared in a resolution by unanimous vote that welfare records are a public record and demanded repeal of the secrecy clause. This brought a warning from Washington that federal funds would be withheld if the clause was repealed. Early in ■ the 1949 session, a member of i the majority party in Congress ■ from Indiana was turned down : flat by the Federal Security Adl ministration in his initial step to i repeal the secrecy clause. : Early in the 1951 sessions of I the Indiana legislature, at the in- • sistence of a member of min- ’ ority in the Senate and because it subscribed to a resolution adopted by the HSPA board in 1948 and to the purpose for which HSPA was established in 1933, counsel drafted the amendment ' for repeal of the secrecy clause. The public is aware of what happened since. The plain fact is that tne Indiana law enacted in 1936 and amended in T 9 41 went much further than the federal law on secreting welfare records. The federal law does not prohibit opening of welfare records. It merely refers to safeguarding the recipients from undue publicity. But, the federal secmurity administrator has interpreted that clause in the federal law as meaning the withholding of public welfare records in the state from any inspection. It has been said that S. B. 86, Chap. 321, Acts 1951, is in violation of federal law. That is not correct. Chap. 321 simply violates a regulation adopted by the fedthe federal security administrathe regulation based on his own interpretation of what the federal law means. It has always been the position of HSPA counsel that the Indiana law, closing welfare records to inspection, was an infringement upon the First Amendment guarantee of a free press. Further, it has likewise been the position of HSPA counsel that if the federal law means what the administrator has interpreted and on which he based his regulation, then it is also unconstitutional. The issues in this controversy are not political, regardless of how much the leaders of both parties try to make it appear. As far as HSPA is concerned the sole issue is whether government, be it federal, state, county, city, town or township, can deprive the people from access to information to which they are entitled under tfie First Amendment that guarantees freedom of the press. SENIOR MOTHER'S CLUB The members of the Senior Mother’s club with their husbands as guests, met Monday evening at the Willard Nusbaum home for a hard times party. The group was then taken to the Theo Thomas farm where the party was held in the barn. After the pot luck supper, the hard timers were taken for a hay ride by Mr. Thomas. Later they returned to the barn and played dirty bingo. Mrs. Lawrence Firestone won the prize for being the best-dressed hard timer. The committee in charge of the party was composed of Mrs. Nusbaum, Mrs. Millard Sink, Mrs. Gilbert George, Mrs. Sam Larson and Mrs. John Sheire. An unusually heavy fall season is expected In trans-Atlantic travel. According to the Chicago Mo . tor Club, a late summer upsurge of passport applications to Europe is a reliable indicator of foreign travel trends for the fall.

Crop Share Leases Vary In Indiana Lafayette, Ind. Sept. 18—Privilege rent and division qf operating expenses are the main bargaining points of a crop share lease, according to a survey of 97 leases of the “50-50” type. The survey was made in 72 Indiana counties by agricultural economists at Purdue University. Privilege rent is payment for use of Improvements and pasture by the tenant. It was generally accepted that the landlord supplied the land, improvements and some part of the management, C. R. Gross, agricultural economist who directed the survey, stated. The tenant owned all the livestock, if any, and received all the income from the livestock. Division of various operating expenses over which the landlords and tenants bargained included legume and grass seed, combin-

baling or chopping, weed spraying and labor for fencing. The bargaining over operating expenses often resulted in one party paying all of one expense to offset another expense paid by the other party.* When an operating expense was being paid by either the landlord or tenant, there was a preference as to the expenses each paid. As shown by the survey, the landlord shared 50-56 or paid all of the grass and legume and lime expense. The tenant shared 5050 or "paid all of the combining, baling, chopping and corn picking expenses. These operating expenses were treated as separate items in the bargaining process; they were seldom grouped. Gross said. In 60 per cent of the 50-50 share rental agreements in central and northern Indiana, there was a charge for -the use of improvements and pasture.
