A veteran of many wars, Zhukov first won world fame when he saved Moscow from the clutching fingers of the Nazis.

Raw CABBAGE

Raw cabbage is better known as
a vitamin c rich food and for this
reason it is placed with the tomato
and citrus fruits in group two Of
the basic seven food chart. A serv-
ing of one-half to three-quarters
cup of raw cabbage will furnish one
quarter of the days need of vitamin
c, providing certain precautions are
taken. To capture these food values
the cabbage must be garden fresh.
1t should be chopped in larger
pieces than is customary for
shredded cabbage, because finely
cut cabbage exposes more of the
surface to the air and vitamin G is
decreased through oxidation. So,
prepare cabbage to be used in salads
as ear serving time as possible,
but if it must be cut in advance,
keep the cabbage covered and stored
in a cool place. And if the cabbage
must be cooked, do it quickly. The
best method of cooking to retain
vitamin c is to steam the cabbage.
Cook it uncovered in a small amount
of water for five to seven minutes.
Prolonged cooking in large amounts
of water can cause as much as IS
per cent destruction Of vitamin c.

Efficient D~ressmaking

Before pinning pattern pieces to
a dress fabric, study the pattern
thoroughly so there will be no
mistake once the work is begun. Use
a large surface for cutting. The
kitchen table is usually adequate.
Have pins in a convenient spot. A
pincushion tied to the wrist is a
handy device. Pin pattern together
and try on, wrong side out. Adjust
pins as necessary for proper fit.
Basic as many seams as possible
before stitching on the machine.
Stitch as many seams as possible
on the machine at one time. Use
hand sewing only when necessary.
Use tailor's chalk for marking pur-
poses-it is the quickest method
for marking silk, rayon, cotton, linen
or wool.

to assure full employment in free

tablishment of certain government
tai responsibilities in connection
with this policy, including the con-
tinuation of federal control of the

They urged adoption of perman-

and the adoption of "an adequate

most instances as those who little
more than a year ago met in New
York and drafted statement
which was later presented to the
convention of the two major politi-
cal parties.
Negroes in America declare
their determination to struggle
with all lawful means at their dis
posal to achieve the exercise of full
American citizenship rights ac-
cording to the preamble written on
Saturday. "In their struggle for
full citizenship Negroes have sew
eral factors and strong forces on
their side. The close relation be-
tween organized labor and the mass
of Negro people, themselves work
ers, is compelling force. The bal
lot in the hands of millions of Ne
groes, when freed from the poll tax
and other forms of disfranchise-
ment, will be Of tremendous power.
'Let no political party presume
on Negro votes," the statement
warned. 'These will be cast in the
interest of the national welfare.
More than most workers, Negroes
today are voting on the basis of
men and issues rather than party
affiliation."

LIBERIA TO OPEN
WASHINGTON LEGATION

w A S H / N G T ON, June 27
(ANP)-Ihe government of Libe-
ria will shortly open legation here
and for the first time establish dip
lomatic relations with this country,
it is learned upon unimpeachable
authority.
Papers covering the transfer of
property to house the legation have
already been drawn and the parties
to the deal are prepared to enter
into the final phases of the trans
action. Whereas the exact location
of the legation was not disclosed,
the intimation given was that it
will be somewhere on 10th street
not far from U street.
Nor has the value of the property
been disclosed either.
The state department is. not
aware as yet who the first Liberian
minister to this country will be.
Persons recently returning from
Monrovia have not been able to
throw any more light on the SUBJ
ject either. One person of this
group said that the only name he
had heard mentioned was that of
Charles T. O. King, son of a former
president of Liberia, C. D. B. King.
That Liberia would open lega-
ton here was first indicated two
years ago following the visit of for
mer President Edwin Barclay. It
was realized then, however, that
the cost would be exorbitant. Presi-
dent w. V. S. Tubman, who accom-

They decided on the ancient Gazette"
founded IN 1886. The paper, which cost
$1,000, was as discouraging an enterprise as
ever faced two young people. The go-getter
era was just beginning. At first glance, the
paper had as little place then as an oxcart.
1t had circulation of 600 and was as re-
laxed as an autumn cider festival. Island mer-
chants didn't bother to change their ads from
year to year. Thus, January might find one
of them advertising bathing suits and
July find another advertising fur caps.
The papers Office was upstairs over gro
Gerry store in Edgartown, one of the six small
towns on the island. Its press was an ancient,
hand-cranked affair made shortly after the
Civil War. A little figuring showed that if
every inch of every issue of the paper were
devoted to advertising, the paper would still
take in only $4,000 year. This was before

Hough hasn't gotten rich - and he hasn't
gotten high blood pressure. At AZ, the fringe
of hair he has left is still black. He has the
satisfaction of knowing that he publishes one
of the best country newspapers in America
Since 1920 he and his wife Betty have been
editors, publishers, owners of the Gazette"
In addition, they have also been typesetters,
printers, ad solicitors - doing jobs requiring
hundred specialists on city paper.

any expenses for salaries were deducted
Hough thin, lanky, quiet, had sharp notions
about what country paper should be. Its
lob was to report the details of every day life.
1t shouldn't strive for sensation.
At first the job was trying A boom-voiced
stranger came up the stairs the first day
announcing: I've come to beat up the edi-
tor" He was joking. But Others weren't.
An excited barber once came with razor.
Many people took exception to Hough's
reporting One irate subscriber complained
about story on divorce trial. He hadn't
thrown his wife down the stairs in Vineyard
Haven 1t was in Oak Bluffs.
Some resented court cases being reported
in the paper Hough patiently pointed out
that truth had certain dignity, and that it
was better to have such news in the paper
than have gossip make it much worse. But
he did move court news off the front page to
an inside page.
One man, arrested for drunkenness agreed
that the story should be printed. But he
wanted it printed on the church page. Sum-
mer visitors PROBABLY WOuidn see IL tnere.
Cub Reporters are Headaches
GUNNER visitors swell the islands normal
population of 5000 to 10000. During the
summer the Gazette" publishes twice
week. Young reporters, hired to help out,
are constant worry. One interviewed man
nearing 80 who swan each day and did fancy
diving. The young reporter wasn't particu-
larly impressed and headed her story: "Por-
trait of a Tory" Hough caught it in time.
Then there was the time young niece of
the late Alexander Woollcott had the job of
writing imaginary interviews with pets of
prominent people. She interviewed her moth
er's dog, quoted the dog as saying that he was
far better liked than the children. The girls
mother agreed. The dog, she wrote the
paper, was more afTectionate and had
better manners than her children.
Most city people have the feeling that
nothing much happens in the country. Hough
doesn't agree. He wouldn't have traded an
aisle seat on the opening night of hit play
for the sight of an ancient dowager bossing a
Memorial Day parade. School children, ready
to head the line of march, were in an almost
hopeless snarl. The old lady, black satin
rustling, waded in and observed: Things are
all bollixed up here =. "

Ii has answered for himself an old debate:
the excitement of the city VS.. the peace of the
country. For Is years Hough has edited the
Vineyard Gazette" "a small weekly news
paper on the island of Martha's Vineyard,
five miles off the Massachusetts, coast.
In its way, the Gazette" and its editor are
components for success story - but not a
success story in the traditional American
sense.
The paper hasn't made mountains of
money and its enterprise hasn't created vast

HEADERS have an affection for the paper
probably unmatched elsewhere in the news
paper world, Once an 80 ear-old man rode
a bicycle six miles to bring the Gazette
communication - story on sea moss. The
old mans name was Xenophon D. Tingley.
The Gazette" developed taboos against
mentioning either false teeth or chewing
tobacco. For while, the paper devoted
large amount of space to describing refresh
ments served at social gatherings Hough
decided olive sandwiches and mixed sweet
pickles were getting too much space Refresh
ments would just be delicious" But even
this became tedious, so now it is simply
announced that refreshments were served
Hough limits Gazette" coverage strictly
to local news. On occasion he has broken this
rule. When war broke out in Europe on Sep
tember l, 1889, he felt that future historians
might want to know what kind of day it was

port as his contribution to coverage of World
War II.
