A couple of months ago a couple
of friends Of mine tished-tished
because it was my wont to stick
in an item here and there about
food I liked, mainly turnip greens.
Because they tished-tished l got
plumb-doWn stubborn and refused
to reveal any culinary secrets l
knew.
1t was a sort Of rule I was deter
mined to keep. Heck with 'em, I
decided; I just wouldn't tell any
body about my eatings.
Okay. as the boys say. Now, l
find myself confronted with a
l can't ignore. I've got
to tell you about a planked shad

In connection with a business
trip up and down the Cape Fear.

not, but in mulling around l learn

gentleman who actually looks like
a Colonel, found out how to cook

So, let's figure out how Colonel
Gillette cooked these fish. All
right. In the first place you take
these shad, which have been frozen
for two or three weeks, and you
fillet them. Which is to say that
you slive the meat off the back
bone on one side and then the
other.
Then, my good culinary friends,
YOU take each one Of the "slives'
and nail it up on an oaken board,
and then you dig a pit down in the
center of a situation, and on either
side of this situation you stand
the oaken board, laden with shad,
up. Then you get yourself some

GERMAN MEASLES

injection if they missed it in bilS
hood. In the last few years if hs,
been learned that it may cause
serious complications in the infant
In the early part of pregnancy
When e&pectant mothers acouir.
German measles curing the first
two months Of lregnancy, their
babies may be affected. Childran
born under such circumstance
may have c~staracts of the leos
OF the eye, imperfect DEVELOPMENT
OF the heart, deafness, and mental
deficiency.
The probable explanation for this
unusual complication is an infec.
ton OF the developing baby as the
same virus affects tiasues in a On.
ferent way, depending on the stag
OF development.
Usually no special treatment is
recommended for German mea.
sizes, but in the case of an ey.
posed pregnant woman, it is ad-
visable to give gammaglobulin az
a preventive measure.
German measles, while Similar
IN some respects to measles is
caused by a separate virus. In
lection does not develop in sus-
ceptible persons Until two or three
weeks after exposure.
German measles may start with.
out any warning signs and run =
short, uncomplicated course. But
some patients first have ore
throat.
The disease is usually spread BY
direct contact. Cases are reported
from January to June, with most
infections in May.
Apparently, children who have
had measles are more liable to
develop German measles. One at
tack usually confers immunity for
life.
The rash Of German measles re-
sembles those Of regular measles
and scarlet fever. 1t starts as
small, round, or oval spots on the
face or neck, around the mouth,
back of the ears. on the scalp, or
the skin of the body. The rash
quickly spreads over the entire
body, and in a day or two it be-
gins to fade.
German measles is distinguished
from measles by the absence Of
Inflammation in the mouth.
Patients with German measles
should be put to bed for a day
or SO, and fed literally. Their eyes
should be protected from excessive
glare.
The patients temperature may
reach 101 degrees F., but this sell
dom lasts more than two or three
days.
Swollen glands are commonly
present. They enlarge to the size
of a pea, and are hard and tender.
They never break down and dis
charge pus, as often happens in
other infections.

BUSY AS BUSY

Betty Bell. writing from Wash
ington the Under the Dome" col
umn in last Sundays Raleigh
News and Observer, tells that Rep.
J.. Bayard Clark of this 7th N. c.
district is ION The spot under ian
avalanche of congressional duties
all at once" She goes on to enum.
crate:
First is the decision of the house
rules committe, OF which Clark is
a ranking member, to conduct an
investigation into lobbying. This
may turn out to be the hottest polit.
ical potato since the congressional
Pearl Harbor investigation, be-
cause Republicans plan to turn il
into a weapon against the Office
of Price Controls drive for price
control renewal.
Second, Clark has been named 10
a rules subcommittee to investigate
charges by Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen
that a Communist agent is in the
employ Of a house committee.
Third, the Pearl Harbor investi.
eating committee, which kept him
busy for four tedious months, has
decided to reopen hearings next
week.
Fourth, Clark must fight FOR
house approval of a 81, 400. 900 ap-
preparation for deepening the Cape
Fear river around Wilmington, IN
his district.
The appropriation for the Will
mington work, disapproved by the
Budget bureau and then refused by
the house, was edded to the War
department civil functions appro-
priations bill by a more generous
senate. 1t is now up to Clark to
get the project through.
On top of it Ill, the Seventh dis
trict congressman has to find time
to 60 back home and persuade his
people to return him to Congress.
Well, life is just one thing after
another, but the life of Rep. Clark
seems now to be some halt-a-dozen
or more things after another. Mr..
Clark isn't complaining, though, He
says he believes in opposition, al
SO believes that members OF Con-
gress should moi be elected FOR
longer than two years. They are
about the only federal officials
upon whom the people have a good
strong grip that may be frequent
ly used. Any election may change
everything in Washington. During
the past Is years the house has
changed from Republican to Demo-
cratic majority.
Mr.. Clark has opposition for the
this year by w. S. Britt
OF Lumberton and it will be an
interesting contest. - The Robe

Treaties In The Offing

Drafts of treaties drawn up last
February for Germany and Japan and
submitted to Great Britain, Russia, and
France in the case of Japan to China,
have been disclosed in abstract form by
Secretary of State Byrnes at a press con-
ference following prolonged discussion
at a meeting of the Foreign Ministers
in Paris
There is nothing, however, to indi-
cate that action on them will be taken
soon. There are too many other prob
lens to be solved, too much unrest In
the world, too much suspicion between
governments, to warrant more than
searching study Of the proposals and,
hopefully, a meeting of minds" from
which world peace might emerge.
1t is understood that Great Britain
is in agreement with the United States
on the broad principles involved and
that both reserve the right to discuss
details later on. 1t is also said that Rus
STA has expressed "some objection" to
the treaty for Germany, but also would
be willing to discuss it. This is hearten-
ing, but only to the extent that whereas
Russia has baked wei details of inter-
national proposals it may now have
decided to fall in line with it's Allies,
instead of walking out on them in
opinion and viewpoint when differ
ences arise.
Mr.. Byrnes told the reporters that
the treaty as now drafted calls for a
twenty-five-year disarmament program
for Germany. He explained to both
Mr.. Molotov and Mr.. Bevin that the
United States has realized its failure to
take the lead for peace with Germany
after the former World War was a
~grievous mistake and encouraged the
Germans to rearm for the war recently
ended. For this reason, he said, the
United States is assuming leadership
in the peace effort now
AS the greatest world power it is
right and proper for it to do this, and
make its voice the prevailing influence.
In behalf of the twenty-five-year dis
arming program it may be said that
a new generation will have taken over
in German domestic affairs, and that
if the occupying powers exercise sound
judgment, provide adequate aid in re-
lieving suffering and guidance in re-
Mobilization, the nation should be ready
to take an honorable place in the world
when the quarter century has passed.

MY THREE YEARS WITH ELS
ENEOWER, by Cant. Harry
C. Butcher, USNR Simon e.

we
On June 5, 1914 at his head
quarters in England, Dwight Els
enhower, doubtful about the
weather, gave the order for the
about Allied invasion of German
held Europe. Then he sat down
and wrote a note:
Our landings in the Cherbourg-
Havre area have failed to gain a
satisfactory foothold and I have
withdrawn the troops. My decision
to attack at This time and place
was based upon the best infof-
nation available. The troops, the
air. and the Navy did all that
bravery and devotion to duty could
do. Il any blame CIR fault attaches
to the attempt it is mine alone
The note went into his wallet,
to be produced on a when. as
and if" basis. When it did come
out on July II it was only as q
souvenir for Capt, Harry Butcher,
the naval aide who accompanied
Eisenhower. The general then re-
vealed that he had been in the
habit, all during the war, OF writ
ing such notes before each MAJOR
operation.
Such incidents are typical OF
those with which Butcher, as
signed from the very beginning 10
keep a diary of what went on at
SHAEF, has filled out his 900
small-type pages.
While it is a picture OF war, 1t
is primarily a biography of Essen
hower's three big years: How he
welded together the arms and
armies OF several nations to &C
complish a single aim-destroy the
Wehrmacht; how he was burdened
with politics as well as battle
plans; how he compromised WIN
a bunch of French politicians, but
proved more stubborn than WINS
ton Churchill.
Just before the African INVASION
Eisenhower was all upset over a
published report that he was corr
ing home Cor consultations IN
Washington when actually M
would soon be at Gibraltar. There
was a considerable stir at SHAEF.
But no mention is made of the
Office of War Information N
Washington, which put out the
story with the idea that it was
cleverly leading the Germans
astray.
Butchers book is news only IN
a very few spots. AS for why ana
how the news was made, and q
human picture of the men VINO
made it, it stands alone among the
books Of World War II.

Stassen's Loose Speech

Harold E. Stassen, former governor
of Minnesota, former naval officer,
and an appointee of President Roose-
welt to the San Francisco Security
Council, has been looked upon as an
able leader who might lead the Re-
publican party to victory in the 1913
presidential election and the American
people relief from lingering follies of
the new deal. It is unfortunate, there
fore, for those who have looked upon him
as a new Moses that he repeatedly
gives utterance to banal declarations
which have no significance.
Thus, in discussing the administra-
tons action in the international food
crisis, at a public affairs conference in
a small Illinois college, we read that
he not only declared the program "con-
fused and Inadequate" but urged an
immediate return to the principles for
which America stands"
In the present sorry economic and
political situation in the United States,
who can define the principles for which
the country stands? Do they stem
from labor unionism? Are they based
on Gripping Industrial strikes? Is the
CLIO their author, o r possibly the ALL
Or is it the OPA?

A LETTER

From a personal letter written
me by a friend, a banker, l quote
this paragraph:
1--WE are out Of the war, but into
the world revolution. I am opti-
mistic enough to feel that the sun
is going to shine, and continue to
shine.
1.-THE quicker all of us kneel ut
the communion table o fire.
ouently. and sit less at the confer
ence table, will we make the kind
OF world you and I want"
This letter is but a little straw
in q big wind. Newspaper editors
business men, public officials and
people in general are seeing and
saving that the only remedy for
our sick times is spiritual. We
must follow The Leader who has
shown the Way. Every person Who
takes Christ for a Master is a
definite force for world order and
world peace.
Ones w personal life is the
first and best contribution to the
settlement of our troubled times.
NV banker friend is right: at the
table of the Lords Supper we find
unity and power.
In deepest consciousness of the
davis need for consecrated per-
sonaIities, we bow in supplication
before Thee, our Heavenly Father,
praying that we may be true to
our times. and to Thee. Amen.

The present "Hot" team of the

night and tomorrow, starting at

might be, for, in addition to being

coming to Hagerstown in 1912.
Grifiths, who has already had
his share of bad luck due to in
iuries to his players, has got his
boys hustling every minute and with
the season barely a month old, he
has already shown the fans an in
field that compares with any we
have seen so far this season-an in
field that has already completed %
double plays through Tuesday night.
The crowds that have been turn
ing out to every home game is the
best evidence of the kind of ball the
Owls are playing and if you want a
good seat at tonight's game, our
advice is to get out there early.

Milan, Dec. 1Te-(UP1--LeOnard0 Do vincis world renowned painting of the Last Supper has been re. duced to . mere tumble Of faded color plots.
 The refectory of the Church of Santa Maria Delle orazie in Milan, where the masterpiece was painted on a val, was destroyed by Allied bombs. Resulting exposure to air and rain had added their toll to the damage caused to the painting by chemical agents during several centuries.
 Attempts to restore The Last Sup- per before the war improved its ap- pearance somewhat, but the war
