Man Does Not Really Know As Much
AS He Frequently Thinks He Does

There millions of square miles concerning
which information is complete blank extremely
inadequate" declares Samuel w. Boggs, adviser on
recently asserted that accurate, reliable map of
the world is impossible and that present effort gloss
vast areas of ignorance.
He suggests that what the world needs is an
atlas Of ignorance" so that everybody under
stand the areas in which the worlds total knowledge
is most deficient" He thinks that such man would
stimulate the scholars of the world in discovering
the secrets of the junges, mountains plains and other
areas that have not been adequately studied in the
past.
We call attention to this statement because in
opinion it is true and because of the general
sumption by many people that the area of the earth
has been thoroughly and scientifically explored More
it is necessary for cearth thinking individuals to
understand that the ignorance that still obtains
regard to the earth and it's resources is vastly null
tiplied when into the relationship of men to
men, their natures, history and capabilities.
It Is not too much to assert that, despite the
knowledge acquired by the human race, the of
ignorance is tremendously greater than the of
knowledge. With this fact in mind, it might be
good idea for all of not to attach too much import
ance to conclusions suggested accepted.
The search for truth goes on through the CEN
turies and of the first indications of sincere
desire to discover what men do not know is con-
sciousness of ignorance. While it is natural for u.s.
human beings, to take pride in what we know
it is a confession of ignorance to believe that we
know much about the earth the universe in which
we live 1t is a greater presumption to that
know much about ourselves.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8--Al-
though the Federal Communica-
tions Commission has publicly
assumedea handsoff attitude to.
ward the sale and incorporation
of Jacky Benny and other star
performers to the Columbia
Broadcasting Company, the Fed
eral agency will probably ban
the Benny transaction.
Off the record, the top FCC-ers
say that there is a material and
income tax difference between
the sale of Amos n Andy and the
sale of such programs as those
headed by Jack Benny, Bing
Crosby, Fred Allen and Kay KY
ser.
OPINION The writer does not
attempt to give legal advice on
this Amos and Andy versus Jack
Benny question. But here is the
general opinion of the tax ex-
perts and judges who will even
tually pass upon this extremely
important tax problem:
The Amos and Andy sale,
which enabled them to pay twen-
ty-five per cent gains tax instead
of about seventy-seven per cent
income tax, had a sound proper
ty basis. They had built up a
fictional family, a few croaked
negro voices and a running dia.
logue.
In fact, it is understood that
the originals of Amos and Andy
have agreed, that when they
near their retiring age, a few
years hence, they will train un-
derstudies to take their places
with the same voices and char
acterizations and family difficult
ties. The radio listener would not
know who was Andy, Amos or
Madame Queen. 1t was on that
basis of legal and performance
continuity that the Federal Com
munications Commission and the
Department of Justice approved
the Amos and Andy sale.
AS a matter of taxation fact,
Internal Revenue did not give
advance approval to the unique
Amos and Andy contract. When
the proposition was submitted to
the Treasury tax experts, they
had to okay the tax-escaping ar
rangement. but they did 50 off
the record.
FAVoRITIsM Similarly, the
big shot revenue experts at
Washington have shown an ex-
cess of tax favoritism toward
the writings of General Eisen-
hover and the Roosevelt family,
including Elliott, Eleanor and
left-field members Of the house
hold.
Although F. D. R. condemned
and excoriated tax dodgers in
1887, members of his own family,
his former cabinet, now COM
pletely reorganized by President
Truman, have taken every ad-
vantage of the taxation loopholes
which F.D.R. and his friends on
Capitol Hill left in revenue legis-
lation.

NEW TERMINAL BEING PLANNED
 FOR ALASKA RR

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Dec. 28.- iPL. .-The Alaska Railroad and the United States District Engineers have ordered preliminary surveys looking towards construction of another salt water terminal, at shotgun Cove, five miles east of Whittier
 An engineering Il m will furnish cost estimates and MT. and Mrs. John Shoup. of Anchorage, will srend the winter at the cove, ob- taining weather data.
 Railroad officials have estimated the cost of rehabilitation of the Portage Seward section of the line at $120Oo,000, in addition to an estimated S4,000 per mile per year maintenance cost.
 Engineers say the mountains near the cove are less rugged than those around Whitt.eg and the weather on Passage Canal, at the stormy seasons, may be better Dock facilities large enough to handle two or three ships would also be needed there.

CRANBERRY
CANDY =-

Would you like to make some
thing different" in the way of
Christmas candy this year? One
unusual fruit confection, suggested
by cookery scientists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, is to
try cand:ed cransberries. Gran
berries are plentiful this year and
there is no scarcity of sugar. The
candied berries are Christmas
red, bright, plump, and semi-trans-
parent; use them either as a
sweetmeat or garnish. They are
easy to make, too, but do take
time because the secret of their
success is long slow heating and
overnight standing in syrup.
The recipe calls for: l quart
Il lb.) of large cranberries, 3
cups of sugar and 2 cups of water.
To make: pick over and wash the
berries. Slit each one in several
places with the point of a sharp
knife. Use a large shallow sauce
pan-wide enough so that all the
berries can float on top of the
syrup. Heat sugar and water in
this pan until the sugar is dissolv-
ed. Then cool and add the berries.
Bring slowly just up to the boiling
point, then remove Immediately
from the heat and let stand over
night. Don't let the berries boil
because this breaks the skin.
Next day remove the berries and
boil the SYRUP 5 to 10 minutes to
make it thicker. Of you have
candy thermometer, boil the syrup
to 22o' F.) Cool it, put the berries
back in, heat slowly and cook them
gently for or 4 minutes. Remove
from the heat and allow the ber-
ries to stand in the syrup for 2
or more hours. Then heat slowly
for the third time, just 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let the
berries stand in the syrup over
night again.
On the third day, warm syrup
and berries until the syrup pours
easily. Drain the berries and
spread them to dry on a rack COW
cred with cheese cloth. When dry,
they may be stored in a tightly
covered jar. If you like, roll them
in sugar. The leftover syrup
makes a good dessert sauce, or
may be used in holiday punch.
