OASIS OF AUTUMN
(New York Herald : -Tribune)

In his often quoted stanzas con- corning melancholy November, Will liam Cullen Bryant rhymed in dark fashion of the days he called the saddest of the year" One can fancy the patron poet of Bryant Park find ing himself forced to re a n t the gloom of his lines these days as, below his statued brows, he looks westward from the Public Library across the Sara Woodland Memorial Chrysanthemum Plantiny-a rather heavy but needed naming of SO much simple beauty. Now a mass of rain-logged, tangled and kalei- dcscipic color. the planting stretches in full flower which borders two sides of the still-green area of park lawn. Above the unclipps l grass and the alleys of chrysanthemums pig cons flutter and circle in the sun making happy landings in a small oasis of autumn.
 Although so many of his poems dealt with nature, William Cullen Bryant was almost as much of 8 Manhattan lover as vIalt Whitman Bryant sang often of a city he knew well and which he wrote about fir seasons other than November and

 The medicos do not question that sugar provides energy, but they do suggest that Americas excessive" use of sugar could be reduced without harm to the na- tional health.
 Measuring this may be to the public, it has the opposite effect on the sugar industry. The barons led by New York sugar brokers Lamborn and Co.,, have organized an Institute" to combat the dan gerous" influence of the American Medical Association.
 The Institute accuses the ANA of being in conspiracy with dietitians and the government to mislead the American people and to ruin the sugar market for the postwar period.

appearances before Congressional committees. An experienced and very able former Congressman, he keeps others on the defensive while he drives home his points.
 However, Fearless Fiorello gained little yardage through the House Agriculture Committe when he testified for a bill to eliminate an oleomargarine tax. Republican Representative Cliff Hope of Kan sas nailed him at the start by in- quiring when LaGuardia had changed his position on oleo.
 "In 1881 we had bill to regu- late Oleo and the gentleman favored it," said Hope. "In fact, he spoke for it."
 "I got in trouble with Bill Green on an oleO bill Once," confessed LaGuardia. Bill was for it and I was against it."
 "NO, 1t was the other way, around" insisted Hope. "The rec ord shows that the gentleman was for the bill and Green against it." The Kansan quoted from LaGuar- dia's remarks in 1881, bearing this out. La Guardia shifted uneasily in his seat. Hopes colleagues giggled.
 Oh we'll, we were not at war then, were we?" the Little Flow CT finally replied emphasizing that the present bill was an emergency measure.

 Answer-I am glad to send any reader who needs bit of rejuvena- tion the booklet mentioned-inclose with your written reuqest (no clip ping) twenty-five cents and three cent stamped envelope bearing your address. If you want it by air mail affix 12 cents postage to the return envelope.
 Better Cook Pork Thoroughly

 Answer-Take the hatchet to sis ter-she is not likely to live long anyway-then see that all pork, bacon, ham, sausage is thoroughly cooked. Eating underdone pork in any form exposes the consumer to the risk of infestation with the more harmful type of tapeworm (tenia solium) and also the serious risk of infestation with Trichina worm which is painful, serious, sometimes fatal. Eating rare or raw beef is comparatively less dangerous-vir- tually the only risk is of infesta- tion with the less harmful type of tapeworm (Tenia saginata) if the meat happens to be "measly," that is. contains the larval cysts of tape worm.

what happened was that ShOrt- ly after Pearl Harbor, housewives and youngsters collected scrap pa per with such zeal that scrap dealers were not able to take care of it, reduced the price, sent word out that no more paper was need ed. American patriotism was too much for the unorganized scrap industry and government.
 At that time scrap paper was not so urgently needed. But now the situation daily grows more acute. Most scrap paper is made into cardboard or heavy paste board packing boxes, much of it used to send war goods abroad. When enough scrap paper is not available for V-boxes, then they are made of raw wood pulp, thus taking newsprint away from the daily newspapers.
 Belatedly, therefore, the War Production Board has begun to stir itself regarding paper sal
 wage. Its inertia has been as bad as its initial failure regard
 ing scrap iron.
 But that does not make the pa- per less needed. Actually Uncle Sam needs 5000, 400 tons of scrap paper. There is a saying that nothing is as dead as yesterdays newspaper. But now any old newspaper is alive for scrap pur- poses. All sorts of paper is need ed-cigarette packages, candy box es, paper cups, newspapers-every- thing.
 Scrap paper actually is in such demand that one biscuit company had to shut down because it was unable to get paper boxes. It is so short that a black market has sprung up. Imagine a year ago, bootlegging waste paperl
 SENATORIAL COURTESY
 One of the oldest subterfuges practiced in the name of "Sena- torial dignity" is the deletion of acrimonious debate from the Con- gressional Record. However, Florida's fortnight young Claude Pepper is one Senator who believes in keeping the record straight, regardless of whom it hits.
 Pepper recently had a fiery eX- change with Texas chairman Tom Connally of the Foreign Relations Committe over changes in the postwar peace resolution, during which the Texan roared that he had been "insulted". Later Con- nally went to Pepper, suggested the flareup be stricken from the Record.
 "I'll have to look it over to see If there's anything wrong in it." said the able Floridian who is one-eighth Indian. He made it clear he didn't want to tamper with the record and expressed doubts as to what parts of the debate should be deleted. But Connaly was persistent.
 Lets take 1t all out" urged the Texan.
 Pepper, however, refused to con- sent to any changes at all. Next day his row with Connally ap- peared unexpurgated. There was only one grammatical correction, made by Congressional Record re- porters. At one point Connally, in high temper, forgot himself exclaimed, "-- 1t ain't sO." Reporters changed this to, "- it is not s0."

For Manhat- tanites, occupying ringside benches under the rows of plane trees in Bryant Park, the generous, summer extending gift of an imaginative donor will doubtless be loved and re- membered as long as the verse Bry- ant wrote.
