The Young Idea
By Laura and Helen

Snow is wonderful, especially dur
Ing the holidays, when you've a lot
OF time on your hands. An after
noon or evening spent sliding down
the special streets set aside for
just that purpose can't be beat,
and even though parents probably
don't thank Old Man Winter for his
contribution to our vacation days,
we do!
A skating or shedding party is not
the place to show off your latest
fashions. The accent is on warmth,
not beauty, no matter what your
rival has on. AS many socks as you

II lack of sugar is shadowing your
enjoyment of fresh grapefruit, what
about drizzling corn syrup over the
top of your grapefruit halves? Top
the golden citrus fruit with a dab
of jelly or jam-currant, grape and

syrup spread on grapefruit half
for breakfast?

SYLLABUB.

From Mrs. P. I. L., Washington. J
Mrs. D. c. R. of Arlington requests
a recipe for syllabub. I am glad to
be able to send her this old English
recipe: IngredientS-10 macaroons
l pint cream. ozs. sugar, the juice
of l lemon, the finely grated rind
of y lemon, small wine glass of
sherry or Madeira, a pinch of ground
cinnamon, essence of ratafia. Meth
od-MiX the sugar, lemon juice and
rind, cinnamon and wine together in
a large basin, add a few drops of
essence of ratafia, stir until the
sugar is dissolved, then add the
cream and whip to froth. Arrange
the macaroons compactly on the
bottom of a deep dish and as froth
is formed on the syllabub, skim it
off and place it on the macaroons.
When the whole of the preparation
has been reduced to a froth. stand
the dish in a cold place and let it
remain there for at least II hours
before serving. Sufficient for 7 or 8
people.
From Mrs. L. E. B., Washington }
The spirited letter on the subject
of pie crustS from Mrs. D. G. r. of
Arlington deserves a reply to its ap-
pended inquiry for a syllabub recipe

from the 1905, contains the fol-
lowing: Whipped syllabubs-l
pint cream, rich and sweet, u cup

tract. Sweeten the cream and when
the sugar is thoroughly dissolved
stir in the wine carefully with the
f1avoring extract and churn to a
strong froth. Heap in glasses and
eat with cake"

it sounds amenable to modern meth

her parents adopted it. We have
become interested in learning Of its
real origin, and since 1 saw the re-
quest for the poem by a similar

readers could tell of their version of
the name and celebration.
Some say that Belsch Nichol Is a

Santa on his return trip, disposing
of toys he didn't use at Christmas.
In our home we observed it by set

Miami Workers
Stage Reilly

B TROY, June IL (Special9 -
llWorse from the Miami SNallas
district staged large rally here
last night under the auspices OF
the United Auto Workers-CIO in
which the CIO program for the
duration of the war and recon
version period was outlined to
them.
James Crowley, assistant di-
rector of Region 2-B, UAW-CIO
was the principal speaker and
talked about the detectives of
the union. He said that the posi-
ton of the union was that the
no-strike pledge should be OBJ
served in plants which were still
doing war work; but expressed
hi. personal belief that when
plants reconvert the no-strike
pledge should not apply.
Walter Madrzykowski, Inter-
national representative attached
to the office of Regional Direc-
tor Gosser, Toledo, also spoke
briefly discussing legislation ia
vored by labor including the pro-
posed full employed bill and the
improved social security bill
sponsored by Senators Wagner
and Murray and Representative
Dingell.
More than 200 workers from
Troy, Piqua and surrounding
Miami Valley towns attended the
meeting. International represen-
tative Harold Tull in charge of
the region presided at the meet
ing and introduced the speakers.

WLB Denies Job
EvoIuu+ion

In the first decision concurred
unanimously by the War Labor
Board in any Local IL case, the
Regional Board on June 6 denied
the point job evaluation claimed
by the Ransom & Randolph Co.
Attorneys for the company
had set forth in their appeal that
point job evaluation was in eff
feet following a directive on
wages handed down by the
Board Sept. 8, 1914.
The June 6 decision of the
Board was an Interpretation
based upon a request of Local
IL for an opinion and setting
forth the claim of the union that
it was not party to job evalua-
ton and that therefore such
evaluation could not exist in the
Ransom and Randolph Co. plant.
The unions contention was un-
animously upheld by the Board.

Taft Heads Opposition
Taft's proposal would COM
pletely snow OPA under a
mountain of red tape which the
Republican Senator claims to
abhor, one labor spokesman here
told LPA. There are more than
100000 rental units in the
country. OPA would have to set
rent ceilings on each of these
places to allow the landlord
fair return on the value of the
place. OPA would have to cal
culate this, as well as assess the
value of each of these 100000
dwelling units"
While no estimate has been
possible, tremendous increase
in the cost of living would hit

him for that. We have all ex-

One remark he made, how

Se3r thought even if couldn't

the Union do something about
this situation instead of mon
keying around with such fool

Papers
Praised

WASHINGTON, June 13,
nPA) - Pardon the labor
editor if he swells up a bit!
He learned last week from
Printers Ink, bible of the pro-
fessional publishing business,
that labor publications are sup
erior to the house organs and
company union magazines that
employers sometimes finance to
the tune of $50, ,009 year with
color plates, expensive photo
mountings and highly pa d
staffs.
The labor editor who barely
squeezes through on a budget
amounting to one-half of what
he needs to produce a paper the
union membership deserves, felt
quite lot better when he read
the following from Printers Ink:
"A good house magazine edit:
or should know and under
stand unionism, whether his
pfarrt- Is 1rganized or not. He
should read and study union
newspapers (most of them are
infinitely better edited than his
0wn.)"
Branded Company Sto0ge
The house organ editor, how
ever, probably has a tougher
time in some ways than the la
Dor editor whose product he's
supposed to take as a model, ac-
cording to Printers Ink. Consi-
der this horrible state of affairs:

ton at its best is not a medium

PR Petitions
Receive Improved
Reception
Many Signatures
obtoined BY PAc

Petitions distributed by the
Political Action Committee
seeking referendum calling
for repeal of the PR system
of electing city councilmen
have received what appears to
be an even better reception by
the voters than the first faulty
petitions which were recalled.
Evidence of the effectiveness
of the petition circulators was
shown during the current week
when petitions bearing more
than 1000 names were returned
to PAC headquarters. The signed
petitions were obtained by just
two shop PAC groups and gives
assurance that the task of Sc
curing the required number of
valid signatures will be COM
pleted in plenty of time and with
more than enough names to in
sure the proposal a place on the
special ballot in the November
election.
PAC Is Confident
PAC officials expressed their
confidence that the petitions
would be complete early in July.
They must be submitted to the
clerk of city council as called
for by provisions of the city
charter not later than August 3.
PAC Chairman Clayton Rusch
expressed his satisfaction with
the progress of the petitions.
"We believe that the job is be-
ing done faster and more COM
pletely this time than it was be-
fore. Our committee which is
circulating the petitions are hit
ting the ball and will get the job
done in plenty of time to get the
proposal on the ballot" he said.
Approximately 1900 petitions
are being circulated by shop
PAC committees as well as nom
CIO members of the organiza-
tion in a number of Toledo
neighborhoods. The goal which
is being sought is 10000 sigma
lures. The number of valid sig
natures required is 13,500.
