If you regularly use a detergent for dish washing, keep some soap powder in a shaker top container to use on cast iron. Scouring powder removes many stains from the sink, but yellow ish discolorations must be bleached off. Sprinkle bleach over the sink RECIPE OF THE WEEK Caramel Apples (Makes 6) 1 cup sugar 1 cup light corn syrup Va cup butter or substitute Few grains of salt .1 cup evaporated milk % teaspoon vanilla 6 small eating apples Combine sugar, syrup and salt in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook to firm ball stage (245°F.) Add butter and evaporated milk slowly so that mixture does not stop boiling at any tim$. Cook constantly until a medium firm ball stage is reached (236°F.). Remove from heat; add vanilla. Dip washed and dried apples (on sticks or skewers) in mixture, twirling to let excess caramel drop off. Dip in ice water to harden caramel quickly. Place on waxed paper or buttered pan. and let stand for a while before rinsing off. Liquid or powdered bleaches may be used. .Save yourself a lot in cleaning time by putting the broiler pan to * soak right after you take food from it By the time you’re ready to wash, the pan will be soaked almost clean. Remember to grease casseroles before you put food in them to bake. Food doesn’t stick to utensils which are greased, and this will save washing and scraping. WIDE, WONDERFUL WORLD Sy FRANK UN A MUM ■, n» I F THE subject is handled deli cately, overweight friends of yours may be consoled to hear that the blue whale averages one ton of weight for each foot of length—and that it’s length may reach 107 feet Even in -Texas, six-footers don’t gross 12,000 pounds. A mere conversational bet is likely to reveal that not one out of ten people know where the Unit ed States Naval Academy is lo cated, waterwise. If they tell yon “on the banka of the Severn Riv er,” they’re both right and bright. When the boss, in a non-aircondi- tioned office, mope his fiery brow, you can help cool things off by pointing out to him that there’s plenty of ice at the South Pole where the icecap, except for deep valleys, is 1,800 feet thick. When you use abbreviations— “shortenings”—in your writing, you are following procedures de veloped by copiers of ancient man uscripts. Their work was done be fore the printing press was in vented. It’s doubtful, however, that the manuscript writers of old would recognize “at. wt.” for atomic weight, or “bhp” for brake horsepower, or “U.S.S.R.” for Un ion of Soviet Socialist Republics.

MY DAD S AN ENGINEER By Eve Murphy I ’LL never forget the day of the wreck. I guess you wouldn’t either if your dad werfc the en gineer of a big Pennsylvania GG-1. It really scared me and I thought it might mean the end of the rail road for Dad. It’s a good thing it didn't because next to Mom and me I think Dad loves that engine better than anything in the world. He’s the swellest Dad there ever was. I’ve heard him talk about trains as long as I can remember so I’ll bet it won’t be long before I’ll be a real help to him. It’s a thrill to watch him get gt his place at the controls and then throw the switch that sends the big train roaring down the track. It always gives me a funny feel ing in my throat, and then I slide my hand in my pocket and hold on to my lucky rabbit's foot real hard until the train turns the bend down by the coal yard. I'd like to be on hand every day, but some times it’s too late for me to be up. The day of the wreck was a swell fall day. I’d been raking up some of the leaves in the back yard when Mom called that dinner was ready. I started to eat, and then I heard the train whistle, real faint, just like Dad blows it when it gets in the valley outside of the town. I tried to gulp my food down 4s fast as 1 could when Mom wasn’t looking so I’d at least be in time to see the train come into the station. “I’m through. Mom.” I said. “I’d better go watch the engine come in.” “O.K. honey,” Mom smiled wear ily, putting Dad’s dinner in the oven, and then sitting down to eat alone. “You’d better put a sweat er on though,” she said as I ran out of the kitchen. I don’t know why, but my - M^m just doesn’t seem to like trains as much as Dad and I do. The station was still empty when I got there so I was glad I had pushed my dessert behind the milk bottle where Mom couldn’t see it. The glare of the' big headlight was on the trestle bridge now just outside of the town. Dad always blew the whistle loud when it got there, and the sound of it made the excitement start to creep up in my throat again. It would only be a few seconds now until the engine came in. As it rounded the curve into town, the light shone right in my face. My hand started sliding into my pocket and when it touched the rabbit’s foot I thought I was sure lucky to. have a Dad like mine. The train seemed to be coming faster than usual. Then all of a sadden I saw it Right across the track was a big truck. The train was almost on top of it The lump in my throat felt like it was chok ing me, but I couldn’t even yelL Daddy must have seen it then too. because the brakes went on, but* it was too late. The engine smashed right -into the truck! I saw pieces of it flying into the air. I had a glKnpse of the engine rolling over before I put my hands up to my eyes. I jmt couldn’t look anymore. The tears were running down my face “The en gine’s wrecked. Daddy! Daddy!” I cried and cried, not daring to look up at the wrecked train. I felt an arm aYound my shoul ders then, and lifted my head to see Dad holding his favorite en gine. “It’s all right, son. We can get a new truck in the dime store. Look, our engine’s not even scratched.” The door at the top of the stairs opened then. “Hey, you two, I think trains are swell, but this is the last call to dinner.” Mom called. “Besides, I told you to put on a sweater in that damp base ment.” DRY CLEANING & LAUNDRY QUALITY WORK SANITONE Dry Clean-; 1 ' ing Assures You of HHHRH The Best.
