If not, the work’s much harder and more time con suming than It need be. Check this list for some labor-saving tips: Long-handled sponge mops are wonderful not only for cleaning floors, but also windows and walls. Use a cleaning solution which does not require rinsing afterwards to save time and energy. RECIPE OF THE WEEK Vegetable-Egg Salad (Serves 6) 0 hard-cooked eggs, diced Y« cup chopped pimiento S cups diced cucumbers 1 cup diced celery 2 tablespoons chopped onion Vi teaspoon salt V4 cup salad dressing Combine all ingredients in fold ing ^notion. Serve in lettuce cups garnished with sliced tomatoes and black olives. Following is the article which won the award for Mr. Able: RAMBLIN’ WITH KIRBY ABLE We Americans talk a lot about peace. We shout from the house tops that we want peace. We send the word abroad that we want peace and we back it up with bil lions of dollars from our govern ment in relief and rehabilitation. And arms. All this deluge of material is aimed at what we call the “mass” of humanity on the other side. We Americans are generous and in our blind generosity we are, perhaps unknowingly attempting to buy peace from our worldwide neighbors. In our attempted purchase *of friendship and peace we are ignor ing the foundation stone of de mocracy—we forget that Europe ans and Asiatics, are individuals and we deal with them as a mass of flesh and bone. , Rather than individuals with hearts and minds and souls, we see them as a tax burden. Rather than people we see them as ob jects of our own smug charity. Actually, we make them victims of charity. And there is no quicker way to earn a person’s dislike than to let him receive your charity as char ity. It injures his pride, which is only possession many of our friends across the sea own. When this pride is gone, he truly be comes a part of the “mass,” his in-, dividuality is gone and the mass becomes susceptible to the woo- ings of the smooth-tongued orator and the demagogue mouthing promises of bread and wine. Admitted that the U. S. Govern ment musL bear the big burden of relief and rehabilitation and re arming, we must still figure out some way to prove to our friends abroad that we still think of them in terms of individuals and people. We must show that our help is not charity, but that of the Golden Rule. We must project abroad the in dividual A m e r dean personality rather than that of the smother ing American colossus. Americans are naturally warm and friendly and interested in other people. Why can’t we capita lize on this American trait? Why can’t wve, through the written word, send our individual feelings abroad to other individuals? Why can’t we send a flood of letters to and fro across the oceans, exchanging ideas and ideals with those in other lands? Why can’t we as individuals once again prove the pen’s superiority over the sword? Why can’t every CARE parcel J carry a personal letter? Why can’t the Red Cross and Church groups supply lists of individuals that American individuals may corre spond with ? Why can’t this personal ex change of thought and ideas suc ceed where pompous diplomacy and military might have failed? It’s worth a try. When little people know the facts behind a story, you can de pend on the little people to come up with a right and just answer. Call It education or call it a meet ing place on common ground, but human nature can be depended upon—and the individual human being is the last hope of civiliza tion. Perhaps through this inter change of ideas and thoughts, we can eventually arrive at what has always Ibeen an elusive goal— the brotherhood of man. And with the brotherhood of man we can achieve peace. Subscribe to The Newberry Sun I REMEMBER" BY THE OLD TIMERS From Mrs. Emma Fortner, Thur- mont, Maryland: I remember as a little girl watching my mother pre pare yeast. First she cooked three Irish potatoes, then put some salt, sugar, and flour in an earthen gal lon milk crock and poured the scalding broth from the cooked po tatoes over the mixture, stirring until no lumps were left. She then added the potatoes, mashed fine, and filled the crock three-parts full of lukewarm water, adding the yeast, or sots, she had saved in a quart jar from the last baking. She then set the mixture on a mooly chair (with no back) behind the stove to rise overnight. In the morning she emptied the flour from a 12-pound sack into an oblong wooden tray. She made a hollow place in the flour, poured in the sots and began to make the bread. Not one speck of lump was left. If the mixture failed to rise properly, mother would add the water from scalded hops grown in the garden for that purpose. Grandfather built a roaring fire in the outside bake oven and while the loaves were rising,. mother baked six or eight pies. When the loaves were ready, grandpap would take a long-handled iron rake and rake out the hot coals to test the heat with a white chicken feather he held in the oven. If it browned quickly, the oven was ready. (Send eontrlbatlons to this eolamn to The Old Timor, Commanlt? Press Ssrv- lee, Frankfort, Keataeky.) TITO GETS BIRD . . .
