SO much has been going on dur
ing the holidays, there is little left
to write about at this time, still I
notice social events are slowly re-
turning to life, and that is a good
sign the head of the house is re-
cuperating financially from the
Christmas and New Year splurge.
Now that recipe:
A popular American version of
the Italian polenta makes an ideal
family fare" main dish. It's SIM
pie, unusual, inexpensive. Prepare
by frying slices of chilled corn
meal mush and serve with a toma-
to sauce to which a small quantity
of Drowned hamburg steak, or left
over cooked meat has been added.
Or use plain tomato sauce and
serve the polenta with a dish of
grated cheese to be sprinkled on as
taste and fancy dictate. Or the
dish may be baked using the corn
meal mush cubes for the top and
bottom layers, and filling the GEN.
ter with the meat sauce.
But whether the polenta is fried
or baked, there should be no Jumps
in the mush. 1t takes skill and
practice to make lumpless mush
by adding dry corn meal gradual
ly to boiling water. A safer way
is to mix the meal with a little
cold water first, then stir in boil
ing water. Use no more than
cups of water and about 1 to 1 y
teaspoons of salt for each cup OF
corn meal.

From all this we can gather
that the Negro stands like a Black
Colossus in the middle of every
Southern, and hence every Ameri-
can, problem. He is both a symbol
and an excuse for reactionary vot-
ing"
ut is simple proposition: the
Negro should have a right to make
a living; let us say not altogether
for his own sake, but to keep him
from being drain and drag on
the community. If the Negroes
economic status is improved it will
solve many other serious and COM
plicated problems concerning the
races. For the sake of the South
and the nation the problem of the
Negro must be approached with
more light and less heat. And the
life of the Negro must be protect
ed, and he should be allowed to
feel secure"
This new understanding of the
problems of all the people of the
South by Southern lawmaker is
certainly appreciated by those who
are interested in the promotion of
the general welfare of our country.

Highest Honor for Seoul

l News has just reached Juneau that the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, located in New York City. has awarded the coveted Sccuter's Key, the highest award for Scout Leaders. to J.

Nature. has blessed our country with an unrivaled wealth of timber
 Until recently there existed thu danger that the axe would cut dowr our timber faster than it grows, bu long-range planning, prudent leg. islation and scientific management have combined to check the devas. tation of our forests by mans greedy encroachment.
 There is, however, another danger which threatens to deplete our val uable forest resources, danger less easily controlled, a veritable demon fire.
 A five-year record by the U. S Forest Service estimates the annual number of forest fires at 156,OOC and the average area of forest land burned over each year at 41,500,0OO acres About two-thirds of these fires are caused by man, or rather, by negligence, ignorance and indif ference.
 Protection Costly
 Adequate protection from the fire requires increasing expenditures of federal, state and private money, running into many millions. It also requires constant effort by all responsible agencies of creating a proper public attitude toward the forest fire problem.
 Each year, the U. s. Forest Service launches a campaign for the pro- lection of our forests from fires. This year, the forceful art of James Montgomery Flagg has again lent a hand in this campaign His master full picture Yours In Trust" is an eloquent plea for public cooperation against this public enemy-forest fires.
 Our Southeast Alaskan forests, due to sufficient humidity, are fre- quently spared the evil of dis astrous fires, yet there is clear evil dence of large fires in this section in the past and we must be con- scious of this danger. Considerable fire hazard exists in the dryer sec tions of the interior, at the out skirts of the National Forests and in the so-called interior forests of the public domain The appeal of our picture is especially directed to homesteaders, miners, prospectors, trappers, fur farmers and others who inhabit or travel those regions.
 Everybody a Firefighter
 An awakened public realization of the value of forests and the neces- sity of preserving them would tend to make every individual cooper ator with forest officers, fire war dens and fire fighters. Due to the of the CCC we have opened up and made accessible a large number of new areas heretofore unused by recreationalists, resulting in much larger area to be protect ed and a greater need for a spirit

of individual cooperation and re- possibility
 We Must Protect It From Fire. , Yes, for innumerable reasons, we must protect it from fire. Charred stretches of ravished areas are not only offensive to our aesthetic sense, but they are, in many instances, a direct cause of floods and an ex- travagant loss of valuable soil through erosion. Many lives are needlessly lost in combating fires that are, in the majority of cases, caused by thoughtlessness and care less individuals. We must protect it, and We" means you and you and you. Yours in Trust Yours to Protect-Yours to Enjoy!
