Fruit buffers are an old fashioned
form of preserves which have never
lost their appeal. They consist OF
pulped fruit cooked with sugar until
the consistency has a homogeneous
thick consistency soft enough to
spread easily when cold.
Plums are particularly good for
butter. The recipe given below has
a whey tang and the addition OF
dried apricots gives excellent con-
sistency and body to the butter.
Another advantage of this recipe
is that plums too ripe for canning
or preserving may be used. Cut the
plums in slices not. more than la
inch thick, and the apricotS in slices
not more than 1-8 inch thick.

Germany's Flying Mich Man

By NEA Service
A World War ace who visioned
Germany's rise again on air power
scarcely before he was out of the
army in 1913, plays a big part today
in the Nazi struggle in Scandinavia.
Few orders go out to Germany's
great air armada that flying Err
hard Mich doesn't see. Mich is
Field Marshal Hermann Goering's
right-hand man. AS such he is
one of the most powerful figures
in the inner circle Of Nazidom.
There is a story that a nosey
Nazi one day complained to Goer-
ing about Mich, whose name
translated really means milk"
Mich, charged the Nazi, was sup
posed to have non-Aryan blood.
Get out of here" reared the
hefty Goering. 81 decide who is
Aryan and who is non Aryan."
So Erhard Mich stayed. He is
not a colorful figure, like Goering's
left-hand man, ace Ernst Udet, for
instance. He is no less important.
Coming out of the World War,
Mich broke into the business of
civil aviation, developing it against
the day when the German army
could again by planes. He was Sec
rotary of the air ministry wher
Goering found him.

of former employees. No decisive
trend is indicated in either direc-
ton in the industrial field. The
condition appears to be at about the
same level that has prevailed for
the past month or two.
Building construction volume In
this area has been improved by the
beginning of operations on the adj
dition to st. Marys hospital, a $780,
600 project. A Naugatuck chemical
company has broken ground for a
new one-half million dollar power
house.
Industrial conditions continued
unchanged in this area. While there
was no change in the construction
situation during the first three
weeks of the month, there was a
tendency on the part of contractors
during the last week to line up con-
struction workers for an early start
as soon as the weather permits.
About 48 per cent of the job place
ments made were in the youth

A claim by Neal Benedict, of

that Mr.. Benedict had told a CEN

Some doubt was expressed by the
Judge that Mangini should have
kept such a large quantity on hand

he should have kept it In an icebox.

wine chilled.
Attorney Membrino assured him,
however, that Italians do, adding
that he himself liked his wine with
an ice-cube in it, upon occasion.
Judge Conway, after releasing

Cover Picturinq
Barefoot Pupils
Torn Off Report

The illustrated cover pages for the
general conference report of the
White House Conference on Chill
dren in a Democracy were ordered
torn off by Miss Katherine Lenroot,
executive secretary of the confer
ence, it was learned yesterday, be-
cause they pictured three school
children barefooted.
She had ordered another illustra-
tion for the cover, but it could not
be made in time. Discovery of the
incident recalled a remark made by
Secretary of Labor Perkins during
the N R. A. days to the effect that
"the South was an untapped market
for shoes" The remark at that time
aroused Southerners' ire
Miss Lenroot denied emphatically
that the cover page was removed
because of that incident and Secre-
tary Perkins, when asked about it
yesterday, had completely forgotten
she had made the remark and knew
nothing about the change in the
cover page.
The change was made. Miss Len
root explained, simply because she
thought an injustice was being done
to picture American children going
to school barefooted.
