generation and more ago, when the mel
low crispness of October came to the land,
many farm families made apple butter as
matter of course. The big copper kettle was
brought out from beneath the lowest shelf In
the buttery, scrubbed and secured Then It
was hung from the framework in the back
yard, high enough above the ground 50 mod
crate fire could be kept going under 1t. +
Some day historian will write history Of
America in terms Of old iron and copper ket-
ties. For q long time during the 18th and
18th centuries, outdoor kettles played an i'm
portant role in farm economy. Homemade
soap was used on tens of thousands Of farms.
In early spring many families planned to make
enough maple sirup and maple sugar for home
use and perhaps have few dollars worth of
trade at the general store for groceries and
condiments. Each fall many farmers planned
to cook cornmeal and small potatoes to put
q good finish on the pigs. There are country
men today who raise two or three pigs for
hams, shoulders, bacon and fresh pork during
the winter who believe that the best-navored
meat comes from hogs that have had cooked
food couple of months before butchering
time.
Apple butter making was . special days
work. It was always on a good Saturday so
that sister would be home to do the peeling
quarterng coring and slcing. And also SO
a 12-year<old lad would be available to do q
good share of the stirring.
Over the years, Father had experimental

concluded that the most havorful apple butter
came from combination of Snow apples

1t gave juicy, smooth, tangy product that
was delicious on hot biscuits, johnnycake and
brown -crusted homemade bread.
Some modern-day sophisticates think our
ancestors were prosaic, practical-minded folks
who were too busy making a living to lift
their eyes to the beauties of nature But there
were music and Imagination in the names of
old-time apple varieties. There are more than
1000 named varieties Of the most popular
fruit of the temperate zone. It is likely that
thousands of years ago nomadic tribes of the
Asiatic steppes ate the small sour apples that
grew on the shrublike, thorny trees. The po-
neers brought apple trees from England in
the 17th century, and as the frontier was
pushed over the Appalachians across the val
leys and plains, the farmers took young apple
trees along.
Making apple butter followed a familiar
schedule Early in the morning the mechani-
cal apple peeler was fastened to the end Of
the kitchen table and the work got under way.
AS fast as the apples were peeled the sisters
quartered cored and sliced. There were few
delays, of course. When a long silver of
peeling came of unbroken, one threw the

A Community Responsibility

Washington's civic, veterans, business
and other organizations are evidencing
proper appreciation of their community
obligations in their concerted drive to
bring the District National Guard to au-
thorized strength. The citizens owe the
Guard their active and wholehearted sup
port for reasons that 60 beyond civic pride.
For the new National Guard has been as
signed national defense mission far more
important than it's traditional wartime role
as an auxiliary of the Regular Army. To-
days Guard may never see service overseas.
For it will be the Nations first line of
instant defense in event of sudden atomic
attack on any of our cities
Since it will be the Guards responsibility
to swing into action in every community
If the bombs begin to fall, it follows that
the communities which it will defend and
aid should have a very real interest In
maintaining their Guard units in full readi-
ness for any emergency. Washington's
Guard should be at least four thousand
strong, according to the War Department.
Its efforts to reach that strength so far
have met with discouraging public apathy.
In the first two weeks of its recruiting
campaign only eighty-five men were en-
rolled. At this rate, only tenth of the
more than three thousand recruits sought
by November Is will be signed up. Sim
ilarly disturbing reports are being received
at the War Department from many other
parts of the country.
1t was because of this lag that General
Cox has asked for the active assistance of
civic, trade and patriotic groups in press
ing the drive for enlistees. The organiza-
tions have responded by setting up COM
mittees to organize an intensive city-wide
recruiting campaign during the remaining
weeks of the enrolment period. The drive
should receive the earnest support and
active cooperation of the people of Wash
ington They will be repaid for their en-
ergies many times over If sudden disaster
should strike the Nations Capital at some
future time.

Was He Right or Wrong?

It is hard to see how any reasonable
person, after reading the lengthy and de-
tailed report by the inspector general of
the Army, can come to any conclusion but
that our Army of occupation in the Italian
theater has been doing a good job under
very trying conditions. Major General Ira
T. Wyche's report to the War Department
is full, frank and persuasive answer to
sensational charges published by Scripps-
Howard columnist Robert C.. Ruark.
That there has been gripping among SOL
diers in the Mediterranean area is not sur
prising. Gripping occurs in all military out
fits. The Army has recognized that some
gripping is justified by setting up special
system for investigating complaints of SOL
diers. Nor would 1t be surprising II there
were more and bigger gripes in Italy than
in other commands. Our troops in that
theater have been subjected to particularly
difficult conditions. Uncertainty over the
signing of the Italian peace treaty and
over the final date for evacuation Of the
peninsula has led to imposition of restric-
tions on bringing of families of the men
into the area. Security rules prevented an
explanation of the reasons for what seemed
to be arbitrary and ill-considered orders.
Complicating Lieutenant General Lees
task was the fact that so per cent of his
soldiers are under 81 and had received only
eight weeks of basic training before being
sent to Italy. Such youthful and green
troops need discipline and careful super
vision If our occupation tasks are to be
successful.
The inspector general properly took these
factors into consideration in investigating
conditions and preparing his report. He
obviously went to great lengths to check
on even the most trivial of allegations.
General Wyche, General Eisenhower and
Secretary Royal apparently were deter
mined to bring out whatever defects were
found in General Lees command. In fact,
the emphasis which General Eisenhower
laid on these relatively few and minor
errors seems out of proportion to their
actual Importance.
General Eisenhowers comments give the
impression that he was leaning over back
ward to avoid the suggestion of white
wash'--a tactic not conducive, however, to
dispelling the whitewash suggestion. It is
unfortunate that the Chief of Staff failed
to state explicitly whether he concurred In
General Wyche's finding that the colum-
nist's charges presented "a wholly errone-
Gus picture" of conditions in General Lees
theater. General Eisenhower's remarks,
however, leave the reader in the air.
