During the past week I've been
very busy experimenting with the
new emergency flour. I've tried
all my favorite recipes and had
reasonably good results.
Many women have asked me if
the new flour makes good cakes
and other pastries. Well, it does!
And, with the exception of fancy
cakes and pastries, I've discovered
that all my usual recipes may be
used. Of course, the new emer-
gency flour doesn't give quite the
fine texture and body that our Gus
tomary white flour does, but good
cakes and pastries can be baked
with it.
I've had good luck with one cake
recipe = and | thought you might

1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs. beaten

Sift together -four baking powder
and salt Cream together shortening

eggs. heating we'll until creamy. Add
vanilla extract. Add about "a -four

milk. mixing well. Add remaining "a
flour mixture. mix. Pour batter into
two lined eight-inch cake pans. Bake
in moderate oven $3.50 deg. F about
2j to 30 minutes.
When you cover that cake with
your favorite icing, you'll be sur
prised at the speed with which
your family will gobble it up. I've
already baked four cakes with the
new emergency flour, and / can
tell you that it works if you
follow the recipe carefully. With
emergency flour you must be sure
to do that. Otherwise, you may

Only about a third of a tree can
be used to make lumber. New pro-
cesses now make it possible to
utilize almost the entire tree. Thus,
we can use more wood without cut

intermediate court to be by-passed If "the public interest will be proc noted by prompt settlement" in the Supreme Court.
 A prompt settlement was needed in the miners case, he said, because the United States was threatened with "irreparable injury" by the UNIV. stand that the district court had no authority to issue tempo. rary restraining order against the union.
 UNIV. Also Active
 Clark said the Supreme Court had expressly approved punishment for contempt of such orders even though the issuing court had no authority to make the order. In this case, the UNIV. has argued that the District Court was barred from issuing the disputed order by the Norris-1IaG Guardia Anti-Injur1c- tioTY Act.
 The UNIV. also was active in court yesterday. After posting bond to cover the contempt fines. the union filed notice of intent to ape peal the preliminary injunction forbidding the UNIV. from term mating it's contract with the Gov. ernment. It. already had appealed the contempt case.
 The union also filed a motion to dismiss the Governments original complaint, which was filed before the contempt case That complaint asked Q court ruling on whether Lewis had a right to terminate the contract The Government insisted he did not.
 To increase strip mine produc.. ton, the OPA yesterday ordered that all suitable crawler tractors, scrappers, motor graders and power shovels in Government-Owned siir- plus property be sold only to strip mine operators. Some strip oper- ators, employing nori-union work CTS. have continued production our- ing the strike.
 There has been speculation that the Government itself may attempt to reopen union manned strip mines because they do not resume the skilled personnel that underground mines must have.

will gradually have to be extended to areas not now served. A good example of this need exists in the Mad River Valley and We hope. next year, to start the interceptor which will run from the Naugatuck River to the eastern section of the City and permit the servicing of areas which now must rely on sub stitute methods of sanitation. Con- nected with this interceptor will be the Sewage Disposal Plant which will soon have to be constructed to dispose of the City waste and the pollution of the Naugatuck River.
 We must also be prepared in the near future to build an ircinerator to take care of the City rubbish and eliminate constantly smolder- ing dumps which are eye sores and sources of irritation to large num- bers of our citizens.
 The increase of air transport both in the commercial and private field will require the construction of a suitable municipal airport. Water bury will have an opportunity to be on a main line in air travel and to share in the benefits of devel- oping air transport. If the new Congress is cooperative we may also have an opportunity of find- ing that half of the cost of a port may be paid by the Federal Gov ernment.
 I could extend this article in- definitely because there are thou- sands of these problems which face the City. have thought about many of them 6 great deal and I know that their proper solution will be important for the City. If they are approached with fairness. with sincerity and with courage. most of them will be properly decided and the progress of our City will be insured.

 chorse Conspiracy
 To Breok, Enter

Bridgeport, Dec. T--(UP)-Freed by a Superior Court jury on charges of first degree murder. in connec- ton with the staying of a Stratford policeman during a robbery last July, Edward Comcowich, 24, and Joseph E. Gabachuski. 28, both of Ansonia, were re-arrested on bench warrants early today, charging them with conspiracy to break and enter.
 The jury, deliberating more than l2 hours before acquitting the &C., cused, returned its verdict at l2:l9 A. M, after twice returning to the courtroom for instructions from Judge P. B. O'Sullivan,
 When its decision became known, States Attorney LOrin w. Willis immediately moved for the con- spiracy warrants.
 Tn view of these verdicts," he told the court, T feel that in the inter ests of justice I must ask for these bench warrants"
 T agree with you." said Judge OiSullivan. 'The warrants may be issued.
 The two men, Eoth of whom were tried for killing Officer William F. Schrieber July IS, were returned to county jail to await arraignment on the new charges.
 The State had charged comco- wich with firing the shot which killed the officer, but the defense claimed that testimony did not pos- itively identify him as the slayer, that the description might have fitted that of John E. Pantalone, 2s, Ansonia, who also was indicted with the pair but granted sep arate trial after turning states evi- denee.
 pantalone was said to have &C., companied Comcowich into Strat- ford restaurant. where the shooting occurred, while Gabachuski waited outside in a getaway car, He testi- fled that he was unaware that his companion was armed until he saw the butt of a revolver protruding from one of his pockets after they had broken into the place.

will not pay of in terms of income and yet they must be considered part of the normal carrying costs of an adequate municipal program.
 4 most pressing need is the ex- tension of our recreational facilities. Our park and recIeational acreage is low in comparison with other cities. Most of our park land and play fields have been provided by private citizens. The city must supplement these gifts. It is dis- c0ncerting to find that there is no ball field on the westerly side Of the Naugatuck River between Aurora Street and Platts Mills. This defect should be remedied and we should move promptly to provide play areas in the North End, South End and in Brooklyn where our population is crowded together. AS soon as property can be acquired this program should be carried out.
 Almost all the City schools were built 25 years or more ago and a replacement program is needed. We have spent nearly ei0O,O00 a year for the last three years on putting our buildings in shape and we have made great deal of progress in this direction, but some of the buildings are so old that we must get rid of them and provide new ones. Glaring examples are the Crosby High School and the Leav- enworth High School buildings. Neither of these is adequate for modern teaching and new buildings must be provided on sites that will be big enough not only for clean. well lighted teaching space but also sufficient to include play fields and recreation areas.
 A great deal of engineering plan- ming must be done and the work indicated thereby must be started. Our river lines should be plotted and established permanently 70 that encroachment on the river will be stopped and the narrowing of its channel with it's threat of floods discontinued. The City brooks which have been put under ground by tle various property owners over the course of years will gradually have to be confined to eliminate the danger of streets and buildings being undermined hg sld- den floods.

 A proposal that stores remain open until Q o'clock one night a week, probably Thursday, was re- ferred to the executive board of the Merchants Bureau for further study.
 Action was also delayed on a poposal that during weeks in which a holiday falls the stores be open on Monday. Study will also be given to a special Christmas season schedule.
 A report on the merchants plans for the new schedule will be sub- mitted to an employees committee at a conference to be held soon. Approval by tn workers, who began petitioning for Monday closing some months ago. is expected.
