Modern Menus

A fragrant loaf of bread, rich and baked to the special taste of the receiver, makes particularly welcome Christmas gift. If the 'teen-age girl has an uncle who likes whole-wheat bread, she could make him this special pecan type, wrap it in bright paper and tie it with holly and ribbons.
 WHOLE-WHEAT PECAN BREAD
 One and one-half cups sifted white flour, 1 1-2 cups sifted whole wheat flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 3 teaspoons baking powder, tea spon salt, egg, cup milk, 3 tablespoons melted shortening, l cup chopped pecaAs.
 Sift dry ingredients together. Add nuts. Add blended egg, milk and melted shortening and mix just to moisten. Pour into greased loaf pan and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes at noon temperature. Bake in moderate oven (350 de- grees F) for AS minutes. Remove from pan, cool and wrap.
 BOSTON BROWN BREAD
 1 L0aK
 Two cups sour milk, l cup mo- lasses, ? cups corn meal, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1-2 teaspoons baking soda, 1-2 teaspoon salt.

 Honey, dates and nuts go into this very festive bread. Health and grand eating are other factors to make 1t a very unusual and highly acceptable gift. Wrap 1t in cello- phane and past on top the picture of an athlete cut from magazine.

THE PEOPLE ON
THE FIRING LINE

The unsung heroes of any election 1--WE
just cannot get away from the subiect)
are the folks who get up earlier than
usual, answer more crazy questions than
the average man hears in a year, stay
up later than usual, and go to bed in the
wee small hours so tired out they're not
sure they care who was elected.
They're the members of the election
boards.
They get five dollars worth of pay for
twenty dollars worth of work They suf-
fer eighteen hours packed with. grief for
a few brief moments of enj oyment-but
they get their satisfaction out of serv-
ice to the nation that no paycheck could
compensate They're the folks we growl
at and grumble about, and they're the
ones we could not do without
They're bedrock in the cornerstone of
democracy
So, before we forget the election en-
tirely, let's pay at least one tribute to
the most important people in an cleo
tion-the members of the election boards

The LINE FORMS

Today lot of good Republicans are
praying, "Oh, Lord, if initiation must
come, make it come quick-before l pay

The advice of an old gentleman way
back in Virginia a long time ago to his
adventuring sons carries a barb these
days, for he said:
"Never fight weakly, never win rudely,
never lose poorly - and pay all your
bets"
And lot of good Democrats are hop
ing lot of good Republicans-and a
scattering of nondescript Democrats, too
abide by the old gentleman's advice.
If they do, the distribution of wealth will
be pretty we'll on the way to realization.
That is, the Republicans will distribute
their wealth to the Democrats.

MOVIES DO THEIR BIT
Christian Science Monitor)

Don't sniff at the movies as something
trivial and beneath notice in these times
when nations and peoples are struggling
for their very existence. They are very
welcome relief from the terrifying eX-
periences of wartime conditions in Great
Britain. The British Ambassador to
Washington has been quoted as saying
that Hollywood is playing its part in
maintaining British morale. Even the
"cheapies,' second class productions,
meet a need, and every shipment of films
from the States gets through.
Continental Europe sadly misses AM
erican moving pictures, say American
correspondents, especially those nations
whose populace must be kept satisfied
and mentally keyed to the war effort.
The radio in Italy and Germany, of
course, is not vehicle for entertainment
but for propagandizing and cannot take
the place of the films. In Britain, too,
the ether must largely be occupied with
war news, warnings, and official advice.
So even "horse opera" and the thriller
serials do their bit in the fight of free
peoples against tOtalitarian tyranny.

The people have spoken.

The people have spoken.
Franklin d. Roosevelt is to be
President of the United States for
the next four years.
The American people, in riding
rough-shod over the tradition
against third terms for Presidents,
have given President Roosevelt a
tribute that should at once make
him very proud and very humble.
Many people have believed honestly
that election of Roosevelt would
mean the end of American democ-
racy The responsibility rests all the
heavier on Roosevelt to demonstrate
quite clearly that these fears were
groundless.
The strong campaign by Willkie
should be a warning TO the Presi-
dent. One ~ the arguments ad-
vanced in his behalf has been that
his long experience in public life
and in the presidency itself have
taught him what may and what
may not be done The clarity and
power of opposition which develop
ed during the campaign are a clear
signal for an end TO miscellaneous
experimentation. and concentration
on such industrial progress as will
solve the one most pressing domes-
tic icproblem-unemployment
As 70 foreign affairs, it seems
clear that American prestige abroad
Will have been enhanced by the peo-
pies decision TO stand by the Pres
ident. The weakness of American
foreign policy has always been that
other countries never know when a
change of administration may bring
changes in policy.
The imperatiVes of the interna-
tional situation. however. are such
today that our foreign policy is
pretty much what it must be Will
kie's virtual adherence to it was
the proof Of that.

solemn pledge that the country had

MEXICO
TRUE TO FORM
Nevada State JournaD


Every turn of the wheel makes 1t APP
parent that this country leans on brok.
en- reed when it relies on Mexico to be OF
any assistance in opposing the totalltar-
ians.
There was rejoicing in Washington
when it was announced that Mexico had
placed an embargo on the shipment to
Japan of mercury, oil, flour, scrap iron
and a few other materials directly or
indirectly essential for Tokyo to carry
on her long-drawn contest with China.
But the short-lived embargo was soon
lifted. The Mexican authority breaking
the news said it was given out with some
misgivings because it is feared the
change of policy would be "misunder-
stood in the United States. He is an
xious for Americans to know that MeXl-
co is Just as much in favor of solidarity
with this country as before. But the
economic position" of Mexico is such
that the stuff must be shipped at this
time.
SO the net result is a fuller realization
that the Mexican government is too fee
BILE, in every sense of the word, for this
nation to place any reliance upon her
position or negative aid. The week-kneed
position taken by the Roosevelt admins
tration when Mexico confiscated Ameri-
can oil properties has, of course, contrib
uted to the lack of respect now being
shown this nation by Mexico.

SPORT REVOLUTION
Woodland DemOcrat1


The new French government at Vichy
has few inhibitions 1t is doing many
surprising things, both good and bad.
Americans will be interested in its han
ding of athletic sports.
The Minister of Youth" Jean Ybar-
negaray has suppressed professional
wrestling, boxing, soccer, rugby and all
other paid sports except cycling, whose
fate is still uncertain His order COM
pletely abolishes French football.
Organized athletics will be limited to
one club in towns of less than $4,000
population, and newspaper sport writers
must reduce the space given to sports and
quit clarifying individual players.
There may be good deal of common
sense in this program, mixed with its alb
surdities. From a severely national view
point, our own sports could profitably
be overhauled and modified. Some Amer
leans have thought that half the energy
and publicity given to our system of
Athletics, if devoted to education and
culture, would advance civilization to
miraculous extent.

FIGHTING MEN

Wasn't it Kipling, the Britisher, who
wrote something about first class fight
ing men,?
Kipling should be must reading for
all Italians just now. They might get
some inkling from his works why their
drive into Greece has begged down so
badly. They might, with a little cerebra-
ton, figure out that all the machines, all
the diplomacy, all the planning in the
world is no good in a war without first
class fighting men to back them up.
The Greeks are first class fighting
men. They have been for generations.
Not even their closest friends have
ever accused the Italians, as a race, of
even approximately fitting that descrip-
tion.
Modern warfare is a matter of mach
ines and production and mass manpow-
er, but it still needs fighting men, and
always will.
That may be one reason. and the big
gest reason, why British and Greeks may
one day in the next few years emerge
from the European conflict as winners.

HOLLYWOOD. Nov. Tt seems
to me more of the old gilt ana
faded red plush of an earlier Hol-
lywood are needed to lend lustre
and color to the chomium- plated
movie capital of today. The theater
is proud and rich in its traditions
and its anthology is full OF tales no
older than the history of the flick
ers. But the screen lives Tor TO-DAY
and tomorrow; it's a little ashamed
of its past. Veteran picture people,
for the most part. are reluctant to
look back lest they automatically
be typed as fogies and has-beens.
So I like to hear about the mad
and gallant years which so quickly
turned from penury to profligacy.
There was a time when Mary Pick
ford, already true star, quarreled
bitterly with D. w. Griffith TO get
a S25-a week guarantee. He remem-
bers that in the heat of it she said,
You wait-some day I'll be getting
S100 a week. And exactly four
years later she was getting $4,000 a
week.
Among such recollections you
find modern celebrities in strange
circumstances. There was the actor
who went to the old Biograph stu
dio and wanted to become a film
policeman at S. a day. He was too
short, but he got the job by plead
ing that his stature would make
the other cops look all the more
impressive. Asked his name. he
said, Barrymore. Then, humbly,
