A WORD FOR BUSINESS

The editorial columns OF the ma
tons papers perhaps pay too little
homage to the business man. We
refer to the average man engaged
in an average community like Ken
newick, who helps the town and his
neighbors, tries to weather each
economic storm that hits, hopes to
hold his own and balance the led
ger to everybody's satisfaction. The
days of the head or boss having the
easy time is past. It is the head
ache of business men to meet pres
ent demands, of changing markets
Of budgets and balance sheets, of
Vulnerable taxes, of wage and hour
laws.
The business man is called upon
to support local projects, is asked
to subscribe and sponsor to many
civic programs. He enters into it
with a good public spirit although
the duties and responsibilities of his
business have increased to where
they become quite a burden. Man
has made business more complex,
but that is to be expected since
there is so much more of it, cov-
ering increased territory and con-
corning more individuals. The
troubles of our business men have
been heard and his plea for con-
sideration been registered. He may
be under-paid and over-taxed, but
he will not be unappreciated by
this column. A tribute to the hon
est business man who backs the ma
ton with his economic bit and who
helps to make this country of in
dividuals.

ADDITIONAL PENNIES

There are reports coming in from
the nation regarding the addition
of pennies to liquors, gasoline,
movies and many other things. The
general concensus of opinion is that
there is not widespread disapprov-
al of the increase Of cost since this
tax is a way of paying for ma
tional suit of armor, of stopping the
hole in the dixie with pennies to
keep the flood from our homes.
When we know of the heavy arma-
ment taxes that other countries are
paying on small salaries, food, ne
ceSsitieS and luxuries Of all types,
we know that we are not suffer-
ing so much. The English people
are portioning, rationing and stint
ing until it hurts. The cost of an
auto plus the heavy new tax over
there has made it a luxury to own
one. You have to be pretty well
fixed to buy petrol to fill the tank.
Our new taxes are needed to pay for
the national defense program and
however we might side politically,
we are all of one mind-to protect
our home!
We are only human when, as tax
payers, we insist that our money be
well spent. There are too many
taxes that are foo1ishly used and
there probably isn't a voter who has
not a grievance of some kind over
some one tax. But this new levy,
for our country's protection in time
of great trouble, is money that we
do not generally begrudge. So when
the reports come in that there are
very few complaints over the addi-
tional pennies. it makes us feel
that in such unified sentiments we
are a stronger nation. This is a
bulwark against the storm.

ALMOST HERE

It will soon begin in our neighbor-
hood, the commencement of hay
fever for those unfortunate ones who
suffer from this demon. Too bad
there is only temporary relief Of
fered for the complaint although
each year finds new aids to COM
bat the fever The chief plant that
is commonly held as the cause of
the most discomfort, is ragweed.
Any of us who might hold land that
grows ragweed are surely humani-
tartan enough to cut it down. The
pollen of this weed becomes most
troublesome during August and it
is well to begin work on those that
are flourishing and remove some of
the cause right now. A botanist who
makes a study of pollen conditions
warns us that this year will find
hay fever the worst it has been in
history. The middle west will suf-
fer especially. We have had such
an excessive amount of wet weather
this spring and this stimulates the
growth. Due to the drought of last
summer which killed vast areas OF
grass, the ragweed has had more
room in which to grow.
So grab a sickle and do your bit in
the name of hay fever. We in Ken
newick will be well repaid for our
efforts when we consider the relief
we are giving the sufferers.

France, in our opinion, has sold
her birthright for a mess of cottage.
France thinks that Hitler has given
her an honorable peace. In the light
of Hjtler's past performances and
his complete failure to keep any

Marshal Petain, old though he is,
will live to see the time when
France is stripped Of every SEM
blance of freedom and is but vas
sal state of Germany. She talks
about rebuilding and coming back,
but with a German spy system in
every village, with censored news
papers and HITLER propagandized

arms under the control of Hitler,
with free speech, free press, free
radio gone, she will be helpless to
help herself.

Of the meal. Scalloped zucchini
served with crisp rashers of bacon
is delectable and full Of lusty nour-
ishment-just the sort of dish to

! cup liquor from zucchini
cup irradiated evaporated milk
Ia cup grated cheese
Onion
cup buttered bread crumbs
Wash the zucchini and slice. Add
the teaspoon salt to the water and
bring to boil. Drop in the zuc-
chin, cover and cook until tender,
about Is minutes. Drain and save

Scalloped zucchini, prepared with

Lamb chops for a luncheon party
are always a good choice. They fit
well into a wide variety of dainty
menus for they possess a fine and
delicate flavor and at the same time
are substantial enough to satisfy
keen appetites.
The possible combinations Of lamb
chops and vegetables or fruits are
almost limitless, and many pretty
as we'll as delicious effects can be
achieved with little care and inge-
nuity.
Lamb chops are tender and are
most easily and successfully cooked
by broiling or panbroiling. They
should be cut from three-fourths to
one inch thick. Lamb chops may
be of several kinds, but among the
most popular are those cut from the
rib section, with each one contain
ing a rib. For a special occasion,
the meat may be removed from the
ends of the ribs. Then paper
frill, white or colored, may be
placed about the bone end when 1t
Is served. A more unusual but a
very pretty way to decorate the rib
ends Of lamb chops Is with a fruit,
spiced apples, or with vegetables
for instance potato or carrot balls
Cook BY Broiling.
Lamb chops need not be restricted
to parties or special occasions, how
ever. They are delicious for the
family lunch or dinner, and are
high in food value. They are among
the quickly cooked meats. which
makes them a good choice when you
want to get an excellent meal in q
short time.
OF course, these chops should not
be broiled too quickly; that is, not
at too high q temperature. Allow
a distance Of about 8 inches be-
tween the surface of the chops and
the source Of the heat, and have the
regulator set at high. If the dis
lance must be less, lower the heat
accordingly. Then your chops will
be nicely Drowned on one side by
the time they are cooked half way
through, and only one turning will
be necessary.
Stuffed lamb chops make very
substantial main dish for company
luncheon or dinner or family meal.
