DINNER MENU

The choice between g. roast con- taining the rib bones and one which is boned and rolled is 8 matter of individual preference. Experts fail to detect any difference in the flavor, but there is a difference in the length of cooking time. Bones act as a conductor of heat, and a roast containing the rib bones will cook to certain degree of done ness more quickly than the roast from which they have been re- moved. Otherwise the method of cooking is the same for each.
 Rib Roast of Beef
 Season the roast with salt and pepper and place fat side up in an open roasting pan. If ribs are left in, they will form a rack. Other wise, place a rack beneath the roast Insert roast meat thermometer if you have one so that the bulb reaches the cener of the roast, Place the roast, uncovered and with no water added, in slow (300 de- gree FL oven. Roast until the meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. for

IT flavor is just as important as good blend. Unfcr- tunately coffee is perishable. Oxygen of the air destroys flavor formed by roasting and finally pro duces the stale flavor. Recent studies have shown that this is not due to rancdity; the fat m cofee does not become actually rancid until seven or elgnt months have elapsed.
 There are just two ways of insuring your pur chase of fresh coffee. Buy it in. q vacuum-p c0ntainer, or in contaner that specifies the date Do not buy coffee if it is two weeks old. Also, don't keep the opened coffee around the house longer than a week since it loses flavor all the time and there

 The Squire dialed one number after another and, like the lady at Pootatuck on the party line, he heard only strange conversa- tiOn." The Squire meddled with that instrument until far into the night and only became more con- fused. Finally, discouraged and nearly exhausted, the Squire walked about three miles to the nearest house and got a neighbOr to come up and give him lessons. Dial phones were finally mastered and communication was re-estab- lished. Now the Squire is trying to get Billy Daniels to install a phone so they can visit back and forth after the snows come.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-03

Every time we mention Billy Daniels, we remember two things! the wrestling match that Billy had with our postmaster and the time they installed dial telephones on Squaw Rock. They've had the regular type of telephones on Equaw Rock for some years. Dur ing the peach season, telephone up there was necessary because the Hine Cannery needed imme- diate information about the crop so as to tool up for the daily orchard production. Telephones were also mighty handy during the hunting season because it was easy to keep tabs on the game warden by phone, and somebody in the lowlands was always ready to warn the mountain people when the officer was heading toward the high country. But when dial phones came to Britain, the Squaw Rockers had a problem on their hands indeed.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-03

MT. Daniels once dug cedars over Webatuck way and he claims that people out that way are still as simple as during Colonial days. Billy remembers one teamSter who hauled wood and claimed special knowledge of superstitions. When ever that man dropped an axe of his wagon, he figured it was an evil omen, so he sat down and had a genuine old-fashioned cry. Billy finally taught the fellow that dropping an axe from g wagon wasn't anything to fear.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-03

It just happened that when the dial phone was installed up there, the Squire of Squaw Rock was downstreet so he failed to get the necessary instructions as to the operation of the instrument. AS soon as the Squire got home, he lifted the receiver and yelled, 'Hello!" Nothing happened. The Squire sat down and read the new instructions, but the more he read the less he knew. He tossed the directions into the woodbox and went downstreet again to get a few ideas from the enlightened folk of Britain. He had a few drinks, but he figured he knew all about the new telephones when he got backup the hill. He figured wrong.

Work Is Progressing
Despite Bad Weather
Rock Creek Porkwoy's
New Lone at K Street
To Be Ready Soon

Construction work on bridges and
overpasses here is forging ahead de-
spite recent bad weather, according
to Highway Director H. G. White
hurst.
At the K street intersection with
Rock Greek, plans are under way,
Capt. Whitehurst explained yester-
day, to divert traf1c on the Rock
Greek and Potomac Parkway into
its new lane beneath the K street
overpass in about 10 days or two
weeks. Paving work was proceeding
yesterday on the new parkway near
the intersection with Virginia ave-
nue.. The concrete is laid from that
point northward to the north side
OF the K street overpass. From that
point to the permanent connection
with the parkway is only a short
distance, which will not take long to
complete.
Two Sloping Curves.
North of the K street overpass are
two sloping curving roads. One will
carry the parkway traf1c out of the
parkway up to K street, the other
will provide lane to carry K street
traffic northward into the parkway.
When parkway trafic is diverted
from its temporary pathway to its
permanent roadway beneath the K
street overpass, work can proceed
more easily on the new bridge over
Rock Greek. Foundations and abut-
ments are completed on the east
bank Of Rock Greek. Work soon will
be started on foundations and abut-
ments for the west bank II weather
permits steady progress, the whole
Job should be completed sometime
In June, Capt. Whitehurst estimated.
Modified Cloverleaf.
The project is kind of a modified
cloverleaf There will be two low
level trafiic lanes on the bridge over
the creek, one on the north or up
stream side, and the other on the
south, or downstream side. These
lanes will cross the stream from the
parkway to the level of K street, at
the intersection with Twenty-ninth
street. The upper level overpass
from K street will make a gradual
descent from its present westward
abutment, to join the two low-level
lanes on the K street level.
The overpass structure has been
designed, however, so it can be used
to connect with the proposed ele-
waited highway along K street, in
Georgetown, in case the elevated
project is ever authorized.

No Work for Many Eligible.
It has been shown that there are
several thousands w. p. A. eligibles
for whom there are no available

this number. And, even IL the w.

there are several hundred so-called

as "able to do very light work." who

At the end Of January, some ST.

Center, agency Of the United States

six hundred and ninety persons were
receiving National Youth Admin
istration assistance, and 1853 were

A recent w. P. A. report showed
that 1921 persons were on work

for work but with no suitable prof.
ects available, and another 1.179
awaiting interview. In considering
this total of l7,074 persons. 1t is i'm
portant to remember that to receive
w. P. A. certification an applicant
must show he is in need and has
exhausted his own financial resour-
ces. Thousands, considering them
selves in need, have sought w. P. A.

$4,000 Names Cleared.
Figures on the total number Of
applicants at private welfare insti-
tutions would be virtually meaning
less because of the varied and nom

maintains a master file Of persons
