Then 1 learned that this wasn't
going to happen at all-that the golf
equipment was to be turned over to
Army camps for the use Of the
soldiers. 1t seems that putting
green's and practice ranges are being
built at many of the camps, and the
soldiers need equipment.
am thoroughly and whole
heartedly against introducing golf
into the Army. The old Scottish
game is perhaps the greatest de-
moralizer ever to curse civilized man.
They might just as we'll equip each
camp with an attractive opium den
as to expose the men to the temp
tations of golf.
For every man ruined by the poppy
and pipe there are five victims Of
golf. 1t would be almost impossible
to estimate the number of Ameri.
cans who have had their lives al.

effort to keep the left arm straight,
| the head down, the chin tucked
close, the body full Of pivot, and the
eye on the ball.
Let us picture, and truthfully,
what could easily happen to q
soldier when introduced to golf. Let
US take Pvt. Herman Sludge of
Near Council Bluffs, Iowa. Pvt.
Sludge is on his way to becoming a
corporal. The Army is his whole
life. He eats and sleeps the busi-
ness Of becoming a better soldier.
Then, one sunny afternoon. Pvt.
Sludge is asked If he would like to
60 to the range and practice.
Let me get my rife. boys. and
I'll be right with you." Pvt sludge
answers.
They explain that the range is q
golf range. Out Of curiosity, he goes.
Then it happens to Pvt. sludge, just
as 1t has happened to all beginners
at golf. He knocks his first drive 240
yards down the middle. Pvt Sludge
is now ruined. for good. He doesn't
know 1t, but he Is goner.. The little
devils who frohc and play in the
gorse, heather and sand traps of
Scotland, chuckle as they add an
other name to their scrolls.
The fact that Pvt. Sludge hits the
next 50 balls an average Of 20 feet
doesn't save him. He has hit one
good drive, and never again will he
be satisfied with less.
A& ~
He starts buying golf books, of
which there are 100000. He reads
Alex Morrison on how to roll the
ankles and brace the left side. He
reads Paul Runyon on the value Of
supple wrists. He reads Bobby Jones
on the Importance Of developing an
arthritic neck. He goes through
works OF vardon. Ouimet, Braid,
Metz. snead. Holder and all the
other masters.
| He swings and poses in front Of
every mirror he passes. His bayonet
rusts as he putters with his putter.
No longer is his gun his closest
friend. He now is devoted to his
driver. Whatever he saves out Of
his monthly pay goes into new
equipment. That is one of the curses
OF golf. The player never figures he
Is at fault, but that his equipment
Is faulty. That is why golf manu-
facturers change styles more than
women's fashion designers. There
was always sucker for q new
wrinkle, just around the corner.
So. to save Pvt. Sludge and the
likes OF Pvt. sludge from a fate
worse than death, I am not going
to contribute my sticks.

In the bleak Newfoundland
dawn, swirling snow slashed
and bit at the huddled group of
official witnesses awaiting the
execution of Lemoy Statler. 1t
was the morning of December 6,
1941.
Over the rim Of the high stone
tense surrounding the penitenti-
airy Jail yard, the witnesses could
see the tightening outline of
Quidividi Lake.
To their rear, house lights
were winking into the murklness
to join the lonely street lamps of
St. Johns. From the Atlantic
wastes three miles to the east
moaned a melancholy, salty
wind.

shivering figures, "Why don't

sides listen to the news.
You have to listen, of course. You
have to know what's going on. And

Or read book.
Or talk.

one in the room begins to look COM

Of any other way out. A little

We Need to Consider
Only Six Vitamins
In Daily Menus

mins," remarked DR.. Robert II
williams when he was awarded the
eighth annual award Of the Asso-
citation Of Grocery Manufacturer
of America for the isolation Of Vi
tamin B1, which he gave the name
thiamin. I'VE have them; what are
we going to do about them?"
DR.. williams question referred to
the fact that even those Of us who
have q plentiful amount Of money
for the purchase of food do not
always choose wisely when we select
our daily meals. He made the point
that with the exception OF thia-
min all of our vitamins may be OBJ
tanned easily through a wide va
riety Of natural foods. The justin
cation of the reinforcement of white
bread with the very things that have
been taken out of the grain by the
refinement process comes from dis
like Of whole-wheat bread by . Ma
ton which has acquired the taste
for white bread.
It was very encouraging to hear
DR.. Williams say that in spite Of the
increasing list of vitamins, we need
consider only six in our daily menus.
If we take into account vitamins A.
c, D, and three of the members OF
the vitamin B complex, thiamin,
ribo-flavin and nicotine acid, we
will get what we need Of the others
automatically.
For our daily quota We can rely
on milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables,
meat, whole grains or reinforced
bread and cereal. At least half of
the bread and cereals which We take
daily should supply either natural or
synthetic thiamin. Children must
have vitamin D either from REIN
forced milk or from fish liver oil
when they cannot absorb this es-
sential from the rays of the sun.

PorkRequires
Longer Time
1nCooking
Baked Chops May
Be Filled With
Fruit Stu&ng
Bv Edith NJ. Barber

While pork Of any type needs .
longer time for cooking than do
other meats. chops, tenderloins and
spareribs cook comparatively quick
ly. The quickest method for pork
chops is pan broiling.
After the chops have Drowned, the
excess fat should be poured of i:
then they should be covered and al
lowed to simmer over a low heat
about half an hour until tender.
Chops may also be baked in the
oven and are particularly good when
they are filled with . fruit stufnng.
The meat dealer will make pocket
In each chop for you II you wi sug-
gest 1t to him.
Tenderloins may also be filled
either with fruit or mushroom stuff
ing. The tenderloins may be bread
ed and pan fried and are also used
in chop Suey.
Spareribs. which are well named
so far as the meat in comparison
with bone is concerned, are almost
always baked. Unlike most other
meats, they are covered excepting
during the last part of the cooking
period. Then they should be allowed
to brown, because all good spareribs
are crisp. If you are fond of sauer-
kraut, you may like to use this spe-
cial recipe which follows. You may
omit the caraway seeds If you like.
STUFFED FRESH SPARERIBS.
Select two sections Of spareribs to
match. Wipe meat with cloth and
rub with salt and pepper. Soak
sauerkraut five minutes in cold wa
ter and drain. Combine sauerkraut
with caraway seeds and raw potato.
Place one section Of spareribs in
large baking pan. Pile on this the
sauerkraut mixture. Place other sec
ton Of spareribs on top. Cover and
bake in hot oven (450 degrees F)
about one hour. Uncover during last
Is minutes to brown. Yield: Six
servings.
Any other suitable stufing may
be substituted for the sauerkraut,
caraway seeds and potato.
STUFFED PORK CHOPS.
8 pork chops, cut l inch thick.
~ cups stunning.
Salt, pepper, -four.
Have pocket cut in each chop.
Wipe meat with CLOTH. Pill each
pocket with stufing and fasten edges
with metal skewers or toothpicks.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and

ing pan and brown chops lightly on
both sides In their own fat. Pour
OH excess fat, cover and cook over
low heat about Is minutes until
chops are tender. The chops may
be baked covered in moderate oven,
$50 degrees r., about so minutes
until meat Is tender. II the chops
are baked, two cups Of canned to-
matoes, well. seasoned, may be
poured over them before they are

H0stesses Are Unfair
Boys Invited to Party Instructed
To Escort Girls They Dislike

sideration in their desire to help
their best girl friends bag a beau.
We suggest that when you give
a party, you invite boys and girls
who will enjoy each other and
have a good time together-consid-
ering the boys wishes as much as
the girls. Then let them get to
the party under their own power.
After all, that detail is not the
hostess responsibility.
Nor is it your responsibility,
strictly speaking to see that the
girls get home. Usually the boys
will take care Of that-or would,
if they didn't occasionally rebel at
this practice Of having some un-
wanted girl showed down their
throats.
OF course, il your crowd run more
or less in couples, they will auto
matically team up to come to the
party. Under these circumstances,
you might well invite an unmatched
pair or two, and ask the odd boys
to bring the odd girls. But If you
do, use discretion-and give the
boys, as well as the girls, q break.
