WhyGrow
Old?
Bv Josephine L0vman

1t was certainly good news to me,
and 1 imagined to many OF you, to
learn from the fashion experts that
fur-trimmed suits and coats are
high style. With full-length furs as
costly as they are this is nerve
relaxing information.
When you see your favorite movie
actress or an attractive friend wear
ing an outfit with fur-trlmmed
pockets or whole pockets made Of
fur or fur touched belt, remember
your figure! Fur-trimmed cloth
garments can be more sllmming
than bulky fur coats, but there IS
one general rule to remember In
either makeup or clothes styling.
When you wish to make your face
or your figure look simmer do not
place high spots, or spots OF inter-
est, far apart. In other words, If
you are going to wear fur on your
pockets, be sure that the pockets
are not too far out toward the outer
edges of your silhouette. They
should be closer to your body. This
is true even of the plain pocket. If
your face is wide you should apply
your rouge fairly close to your nose.
If you place the color at the outer
edges of your face it will make it
look wider. Women with broad
faces should not wear their hair
fuffed out at the sides for this rea-
son.
Unless you have slim waist, do
not decorate your belts with fur.
Also wear narrow belt rather than
wide one. Those fascinating wide
belts are for the very slim.
If you are overweight and wish to
look more petite, do not wear your
clothes too tightly fitted because
this emphasizes the rolls and bulges.
All of these little tricks are most
helpful in giving our most attrac-
tive impression.
If you would like to have my leaf
let No. so, whats Going On?"
which gives you suggestions about
minimizing deep set eyes, making
small eyes look larger, the applica-
tion of lipstick and lots of other
makeup tricks, send stamped, self

quest to Josephine Lowman in care

below zero. Here they stay until
refrigerated trucks carry them to
distributors, who, in turn. relay it to
your grocer and the package finally
finds its way into your kitchen.
I don't want to leave you with the
impression that spinach is the sole
crop of this giant farm, because it is
just one of the many vegetables they
raise. In season they pack baby
limas, peas, corn, broccoli, asparagus,
carrots and some fruits.

Underwater lights in the tanks help

Cartons are cellophane lined and
the chopped spinach pours into the

leaf spinach is packed by hand
One machine, equipped with an
electric eye, operates with such split
precision that each label always
comes out right smack on top of the
box in direct contact with the heat
ing element that melts the wax on
the wrapper. The carton is held
there until the wax congeals again to
give the package a moisture-vapor
resistance seal. The tightly sealed
packages go on trays into the freez-
ing units. After the freezing is
completed the cartons are stored in

Farming has come a long way
since the days Of our pioneer fore
fathers, when they staked out their
160 acres of virgin soil, plowed
narrowed and planted crops with the
aid of oxen, and harvested 1t with
homemade scythes.
In striking contrast to those old
days is the ultramodern Seabrook
farm that sprawls over 10000 acres
in Southern New Jersey. Forty years
ago this farm started out as a
humble truck farm with a heavy
mortgage levied against it. Today, II
is the worlds largest vegetable farm
and quick-freezing plant. In addi-
tion to the 10000 acres which Mr.
Seabrook controls he has 750 con-
tract farmers who raise produce
under his supervision for his freez-
ing plant and cannery.
This enormous farm is divided
into eight divisions, each with its
own equipment and manager. Each
division has it's own air strip where
visitors to that special division may
land to inspect crops, or serve as
landing strip for one of their own
planes that are used to dust and
spray crops during the growing sea-
son. There are 750 family dwelling
units on the land where the 1,500
permanent workers live, paying from
ST to $35 month, depending on the
size. Dormitories house the 5000 to
5000 workers who are employed at
the peak of the season, when the
plant may go on 24-hour schedule.
1t may be II o'clock at night when a
crop reaches the height of its quality
and flavor; floodlights are set up and
the workers go into action working
on round-the-clock shifts until the
crop is harvested, processed and in
the huge refrigerator warehouse.
Nothing is left to chance or to
whims of nature for that matter at
this farm. When crops are in need
of rain. the irrigation engineers can
throw switch and pour gallons of
water into a dry field. Chemists,
psychologists, economists (even a
tologist) keep a close watch
over the soil and weather condi-
tions; they control the pests that
take such a fiendish delight in de-
vouring the tender young plants.
Trucks are equipped with two-way

TheChef
Says

Perhaps you are planning to en-.
tertain friends from out of town
who are staying with their families
over the holiday week end. If So
and they have had their regular
Thanksgiving dinner at home-you
can vary your festivities bit.
Say you are getting up buffet
supper for II or IA people. You will
have some hot foods-such as green
turtle soup with sherry, and cas-
serole of kidneys, bacon, mush-
rooms and wild rice, for example.
But your piece de resistance should
be a refreshing and delicious cool
turkey aspic.
Get a big saucepan and put into
it IL cups of cold water, 8 table
spoons of cider vinegar, a couple
of tablespoons Of sugar, y a tea
spoon salt, some pepper, teaspoons
of prepared mustard and about a
u cup of butter. Heat all this to
the boiling point. Dissolve table
spoons gelatin in 4 tablespoons Of
cold water, letting it stand for five
minutes. Then dissolve it in the
boiling mixture. Beat d eggs until
light and foamy and beat them into
the hot gelatin mixture with a ro-
tary beater Let cool until just
lukewarm and then add cup Of
mayonnaise which has been spiked
with "a cup Of tomato catsup and
a little TabaSco.
Cover the bottom of. your hand
Somest mold with layer of the gela-
tin mixture and chill for five
minutes to set. Arrange shapes cut
with tiny fancy cutters from pi-
mento and green pepper and ripe
olives in a pretty design on top Of
the gelatin.
Combine 4 cups of cooked, cold
turkey meat (smoked is out of this
world If you have it,, carefully
faxed, with cup of minced celery,
u a cup of chopped green pepper
and l cup of thinly sliced pimento-
stuffed olives. Season with salt
and a dash of cayenne. Mix all
this with the remaining gelatin and
pack carefully into the mold so az
not to break the design. Chill for
IS or hours.
Unmold on large platter and set
this in another platter or tray of
crushed Ice to keep the aspic very
cold. Decorate with parsley or
watercress, radish roses and quart
ers of tomatoes and hard-cooked
eggs.

radios that can operate anywhere
within a radius of IS to 40 miles.
With the use Of these radios men In
the field can give on-the-spot re-
ports of the crops; maybe a field
of peas is just right for cutting or
maybe truck has begged down and
needs repairman at once. There
may be an unusually fine stand Of
spinach and they want some one
to inspect it. Whatever the occasion
these two-way radios bring help in
a hurry and save an unestimated
number of hours going back and
forth to the main plant.
The day I spent at this giant farm
was one of the most interesting
eight hours I've had the good luck
to enjoy for long time. We follow
ed the processing of spinach from
the minute we saw the men cutting
it in the field until it was in the
immense warehouse that can store
up to 550O0,0OO pounds Of processed
food. At the main plant We got into
car and were driven out to one Of
the fields where a Porter-Way
harvester was cutting four rows of
spinach at one time, moving along at
a speed of to miles an hour. The
cutting blades on this machine are
adjustable so the spinach is cut just
above the crown: conveyor picks
up the leaves and carries them from
the ground directly into a truck that
moves alongside. One machine of
this type will take the place of 10
meA From the field the truck goes
to the process plant, where the
spinach is dumped onto. conveyors

first of four inspections. Next comes
a short water bath, another inspec-
ton of the wet spinach. From here
it goes down the line, which consists
of washer, blancher and more in
spection tables. The curly green
leaves float through the washers,

Britain and U.S.. Urged
BY Churchill 10 Adopt
Courage Of Roosevelt
lx the Asxoeiotsd Press

LONDON, April 13-Winstor
Churchill, standing beside Mrs
Eleanor Roosevelt. demanded last
night that Britain and America face
their postwar difficulties with the
courage of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The British commonwealth will
march resolutely beside the United
States and thus all will come right,
Mr.. Churchill said.
Britain's wartime Prime Minister
spoke at a dinner climaxng a day
OF tribute by his country to his
American colleague, who died three
years ago yesterday at Warm
Springs, Ga.
Died "in Full Career"
He followed Mrs. Roosevelt, who
unveiled a memorial statue OF her
husband earlier in the. day before
King George vi and crowd OF
silent thousands in Grosvenor
Square.
Mr.. Churchill recalled that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had died lin full
career" too soon to taste the sweet
ness of final triumph. But he also
added that Roosevelt did not live
to endure the quarrels Of the Allies
hitherto united by common perils.
He did not have to face the
grave economic aftermath OF the
splendid sacrifices and deeds"
But remember" Mr.. Churchill
said solemnly, that our troubles
now are less than those which
President Roosevelt faced and which
he oyercame"

concluded that Communists in labor
organizations might use the strike
for political purposes and might
use their power to stir up strife in
stead of promoting peace. and that
this conclusion Is sufncient to sup
port the iuterdiction.
The might In this part Of its
contention is intentional. The brie1
never makes any contention except
that Communists might do these
things; it never asserts that the evil
dence before Congress shows that
they would, or that they probably
would. -
Thus, the question posed by the
contention as actually made by the
Government is whether Congress
may deny Government facility to
all members of a named organlza-
ton because it finds that some such
persons might-not all such persons,
but some, and not must, but might
use the facilities for an undesir-
able end.
"If the effect Of the denial OF the
benefit were not on infringement OF
constitutional right, I might
agree with the Governments view
But where the denial of the benefit
is in actual practice an abridgment
of a constitutional right, its validity
requires more than a possibility OF
untoward action; there must be a
real probability, perhaps even a
certainty; at any rate q clear and
present danger"
