IF YOU want to keep your cast
iron utensils “seasoned” -use
only soap for washing them. 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.

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.”
