Right and Wrong

operation with children, is better
than slapping, shaking, and beat
ing. Force Of that nature never
helps. 1t Injuries those who admin
lister it and those VINO receive it. I
can understand how an exasper-
ated parent or teacher will slap a
child and no harm come to either.
The explosion is likely to clear the
air and bring both the slapped and
the slapper TO their senses. But de-
liberate beating of child, SO many
lashes for each offense is an unholy
thing and not to be pardoned or
even tolerated in a civilized land.
know what I am talking about
for have dealt with some of the So
called bad boys of great city. They
need no beating, no severe punish
ment. They need help, decent
home, good food, clean places to
play-and right there the children
Of New York should rise up and
bless their park commissioner for
the splendid Fairgrounds he has
built and equipped for them. Those
Fairgrounds do more to teach decent
behavior, democratic ways Of life,
than any penal institution could
ever do.
Discipline of children "a better
term is training of children) should
begin when the child is born. Train
him gently as you would have him
grow. Day by day lead him in the
ways Of cleanliness, goodwill, health
and activity. Teach him to be useful
in the service Of other people. Teach
him to help wherever he can and be
glad of the privilege. We have too
much of selfishness in our commu-
nifty life and too little service.
The greatest disciplinary force is
the one most overlooked today, mo-
rality. Teach children the meaning
of the two old words, Right and
Wrong, and hold that standard be-
fore him until he cultivates a ten
der conscience to hold to the Right
and battle against the Wrong.
Yes, I know that road does not
lead to Millionaire's Row, but 1t
does lead to spiritual strength, grace
and peace and, in the end, happiness
Discipline children with that end In
view and you cannot 60 astray.

I have even gone so far as to buy a
red blouse, but I wore 1t with my
light gray flannel suit. In other
words, it's all right to accentuate
the positive-if you know when to
stop!
The same technique that applies
to my choice of clothes also goes
for makeup. To me nothing is
more unbecoming than an over
made-up blond. Now, don't get me
Wrong-Im not believer in the
wan and languishing blond. Be-
cause of our fair skin and light hair,
we have to use more makeup than
a dark-eyed, dark-lashed brunette.
We have to bring out our good
points with makeup, but must be
so careful not to make it obvious.
For instance, like most blonds, my
eyelashes are light and although
they are fairly long and thick, they

WOOLEN DOLLS2

(From W. C. T., Mclean, Va.)
I have enjoyed and found the
RICH column of great interest for a
long time and have been hoping
that some one would inquire how to
make woolen dolls. The one I saw
was about 10 inches long, made of
white woolen yarn, and topped with
a little red crocheted tassel cap.
1t looked like the yarn had been
wound around some object, then red
yard used to form head, body, etc.
I surely would appreciate it if one
of your readers could give me in
formation on how to make these
little dolls. They would make ideal
gifts for infants and so far my eff
forts to obtain directions have been
futile.

ENGLISH CHRISTMAS.

tFfOHI MISs II. ~ w ., w uSftITLyLOH./ Of
In response to a request from Mrs
A. D., Washington, am happy to
oblige with a short summary of
prewar English Christmas dinner.
I must scratch my memory and 60
back six years.
For table decorations I remember
the family silver was brought out.
This included two large silver trees
and from the branches hung little
silver baskets. These contained nuts,
raisins, dates, etc. Christmas crack
ers also added color to the table, and
small dishes of sweets Il mean
candiesD and chocolates, along
with sprigs of holly were used as
decorations. Each guest, or member
of the family found a small gift
hidden inside their table napkin.
With turkey we served sausage
meat and chestnut stufing, and the
Christmas pudding always had six
pence and shillings in it. As child
it was thrilling to find one of these
coins in helping of pudding, but
now I realize how easily one might
have swallowed them! The pudding
was always covered in brandy and
lit with a match and it was brought
in flaming. A glorious sight! Each
guest had to keep the flame going
by keeping the brandy constantly in
motion. Very small mince pies were
served-lttle individuals ones with
f1aky pastry, and these too had the
brandy treatment! Then, of course
the brandy butter would be served
with the pudding and finally the
dining room would be shambles
while crackers were pulled and crazy
paper hats were donned by every
body!
Your second request concerning
national f1ower-yes, England,s
flower is the rose, in fact it is the
actual emblem of England, just as
the thistle, leek and shamrock are
the emblems of Scotland, Wales anc
Ireland, respectively.
It's somewhat hard to describe
briefly the English gardens. So many
lovely flower beds are now filled with
vegetables, and each householder
has his victory garden which hi
tends instead of raising blooms
However, the Isles of Scilly (off thu
tip of Lands End in the Atlantic)
still carry on their main trade o1
raising flowers and the daffodils
narcissuses and irises that bloom II
the early spring on these tiny
islands are sent to the mainland.
Incidentally I met my American
husband on the steamer leaving thl
Scilly Isles. He probably would no
have looked in my direction had /
not been for the huge bunch of flow
ers I was carrying which brightenet
up my drab khaki battle dress!

LEMON CHEESE FILLING;
HOLES IN SHIRTS?


from Mrs. C. F. B., Chevy Chase
I am inclosing the finest recipe I
know for lemon cheese filling re-
quested by lady in Takoma Park.
This recipe has been used in my
family in Alabama four generations
Lemon Cheese Filling-Beat yolks
of four eggs or two whole eggs. Add
one cup white sugar. Cream. Add
one-quarter stick butter. Cream in
with eggs and sugar. Rind and juice
of two lemons. Mix. Put in sauce
pan and simmer to 10 minutes.
This will be consistency of starch.
When cool, spread on cake.
Will some one tell me why tiny
usually round) holes appear in the
cuffs, and sometimes other parts of
shirts? do not use any strong solu-
tions in the washing machine e-only
well-known brands of soap powder
The damaged materials are cotton.
Il should have stated in my recipe
that the REAL lemon cheese" does
NOT have flour or cornstarch in it,

also suet and stock in which meat
and suet were cooked, reduced to

gradually, stir occasionally, and cook

Good Old-Fashioned Mince Meat
Five cups cold cooked beef, chopped,
2 cups suet, chopped, 8 cups stoned
raisins, cups dried currants, S cups
brown sugar, 6 cups cider Cor 81
cups water and az cups vinegar), !
tablespoon each cloves, nutmeg, cin-
namon and allspice. Use two cups OF
this mixture to 8 cups chopped
apples.
Coolidge Mince Meat-One pound
boiled beef, chopped, n peck apples,
chopped, pounds seeded raisins, 2
pounds sugar, pound suet, chopped,
l pound dried currants, " pound
citron, 21a quarts cider.
Pinch Of salt, cinnamon, cloves
and nutmeg to taste. Apples pared,
cored and chopped hne, currants,
raisins and citron chopped and all
boiled with cider and sugar, about
4 minutes, then pour in meat and
suet, add salt and spices. A little
jelly or frtit juice improves 1t.
The above combinations Of ingre-
dents are the favorite recipes Of q
Midwest pioneer mother and daugh-
ter, in order given. Either may be
used for q basic recipe, and !
usually use a quart OF home canned
pitted red sour cherries CONNER
cial product will do as welD In place
of the dried currants and citron. A
little practice will give a recipe that
exactly suits the family's taste. To
my sorrow I learned that the meat
must be cold before being chopped
or run through the food chopper.
The shoulder or neck of beef cuts,
besides being economical, produce
a fine flavor when slowly boiled till
tender.
The directions for combining the
ingredients in the second recipe are
to be used in either case. Allow all
ingredients to come to a full boil
for few minutes, pour into steril-
lied glass jars and seal surplus for
future use. All or part of the apples
may be omitted until the pies are
freshly baked. Mincemeat will keep
in an open jar almost indefinitely, II
kept cold and the juice covers the
remaining amount. Mixed fruits pre-
pared for fruit cakes may be added
instead of citron. Ones ingenuity
may rule to produce a delicious
concoction, fit for kings!
The RICH is like a letter from
home for the many servicemen's
wives in the District area who like
myself are transplanted far from
relatives and old friends and neigh
bors. Personally, I like the 5-day
issues best. Not so much chance oi
missing one. Many of my own ques.
tions have been asked and answered
IN the RICH column. Thanks!

X-Ray Tests Planned

Arrangements for X-ray examin-
alton of high school pupils as well as
the general public from Feb. 15 thru
Feb. II, were announced by DR.. H.
A. Neiswander, Putnam county
health commissioner.
An X-ray unit which is touring
Ohio is being brought to this county
by the Putnam County tuberculosis
and Health Association. All X-rays
will be paid for by the association
out of funds raised thru the sale of
Christmas seals.
DR.. Neiswander pointed out the
X-ray examination of apparently
healthy individuals has become an
accepted method of tuberculosis case
finding. In addition to the pupils
the commissioner said he hopes
teachers, bus drivers and cafeteria
workers will consent to be X-rayed
at this time.
These X-rays will be read by a
tuberculosis specialist and the find
ings will remain secret to everyone
but the individual. In the case of
the pupils findings will be disclosed
to the parents. All examinations
will be made in the health depart
ment at the court house in Ottawa.

recapture of Manila from the Jap
anese last Sunday. The fact was
revealed in a copyrighted story un-
der a Manila dateline in the New
York Times.
Col Radcliffe whose wife and two
sons reside in Kenton, left that city
in October, 1940, only a brief time
after having been promoted from the
rank of first lieutenant to captain
to take over command of Co. E,
148th Inf, National Guard unit from
Kenton.
He served at Camp Shelby, Miss,
for a number of months, then took
Co. E to the Fiji Islands where the
37th Division first was sent from the
United States.
Previous to seeing action, Radcliffe
was promoted to the rank of major,
then to lieutenant colonel. He COM
manded the Second Battalion of the
regiment in the now-famous Ameri-
can assault which resulted in the
capture of Munda on New Georgia
Island. For valorous work in that
battle, he was awarded the Silver
Star.
Later in the Bougainville campaign
Col. Radcliffe directed the assault
and capture by his battalion of Hill
700, one of the outstanding pieces of
military work by Americans in the
South Pacific.
