New York.-In an era of canapes, wafers that substitute for bread, salads to take the place of dessert and sandwich and milk shake lurcheone, Mary Margaret Mo Brides tales of the family feasts of her childhood strike responsive chord in anyone who often yearns for some old-fashioned meals, cooked in the old fashioned way to be eaten with no thought of a modern calory chart.
 In a chapter devoted to old fashioned cooking in her nostalgia book, How Dear to My Heart" Miss Mcbride describes company dinners, as prepared by her mother back in Paris, Mo, where the au- thor was born and brought up.
 "If I were doomed to eat the same meal every day for the rest of my life and could have my pick of all the food the world of- fers, this is what I'd choose says Miss McBride. adding that every dish would have to be fixed the way her mother did it.

Saxon Freedom
BY Albert Wilhelm Nemenz,
Pittsburgh, Pa.

Quoted below is an article bv
the writer to the Editor of the

part by that newspaper in their
February II edition. Considering
the struggle for supremacy in
Europe today and its subsequent
effect upon the Saxon peoples of
Pennsylvania, thought that the
following would be of interest to
the Saxons, foung and old, of
America.

upon the German-Saxons ofTran-

and France.
"As a price for Roumanian
participation in the World War is
the large tract of territory known
as Pennsylvania was taken from
the conquered Austro-H Hungarian
Empire, and placed at the mercy
of Roumania. If ever there was a
more merciless and cruel rule
placed upon people as upon the

them. Eye witness after eye wit
