IN MEMORIAM
In sad and loving memory of our deai
father and husband, James L. Biddle, whc
departed this life May 20. 1914.
Oh. the memory of that sad night,
As we stood with aching hearts,
To see the one we loved so dearly,
From us forever part.
Human hands tried to save you;
Prayers and tears seemed all in vain;
Happy angels came and took you
From the weary world of pain.
Father dear. how we miss you
But we know it was Gods will;
Others may have forgotten you,
But we never will.
Keep him Jesus in Thy keeping,
Till we reach that blissful shore;
Then. Oh Master. let us have him,
And love him as we did before.

@. What is the name of this cut of
meat?
A. This is sirloin roast of pork.
@. Where does the cut come from,
and how is 1t identified?
A. The Sirloin roast is cut from the
leg or ham end OF the loin section
of pork. 1t is a cut equal in tender
ness and flavor to the center-cut
loin, yet often less demanded.
Therefore, it represents an econ
omy buy.
@. How should this cut be pre-

A. A pork sirloin roast is cooked by

Place it on rack, fat side up, in

The Brifsh-Danish
Round Table Talks

An official statement was issued
on October %, according to
London special despatch to the N.
Y. Times, on the problems affect
ing the Danish-minded part Of the
South Slesvig population.
The Danish delegation, the des-
patch says, led by Foreign Minis
ter Gustav Rasmussen, took up
among other questions the speed
lest possible resettlement else
where of the East Prussians and
Pomeranians who have flooded
into South Slesvig and amped
the Danish element there. An
other of the main points brought
forward the communique said,
was the question of special status
for the Danish-minded minority in
South Slesvig that would secure
to them in addition to their normal
civic rights the freedom to enjoy
their ancient Danish culture"
British official circles appreci-
ate that Denmark is concerned not
for restoration of South Slesvig,
annexed by Prussia in 1864. nor
now for the revision of the from
tier; Denmark is eager that the
Danish minority should have a
guarantee of freedom and autono-
my that would enable it to pre-
serve its status and express it's
wishes at some later date.
The Danes see the influx of 40O,-
600 German refugees from the east
as a new wave of Prussianism that
may -overwhelm the Danish minor
ity in South Slesvig and may one
day threaten North Slesvig and
Denmark itself.

Swedish Scientist Finds Method
Of Preventing Glass Decay

STOCKHOLM. - A suggestion
made by the Crown Prince of Swe-
den was the origin of a new re-
markable method of preserving old
glass, invented and recently pat
ented by Professor Arvid Hedvall,
of Gothenburg. Prof. Hedvall, who
is Director of the Silicate Research
Institute of the Chalmers Institute
of Technology and an expert of in
ternational fame in the field of
the "metallurgy of non-metals," or
mineralography, started his inves-
tigation into the disintegration of
glass and it's prevention a few
years ago. His complete method
was presented recently to the an
nual meeting of the Swedish Acad-
envy Of Engineering Sciences.
When Prof. Hedvall gave lee
ture on certain new discoveries
within his science about five years
ago, the Swedish Crown Prince,
who is an enthusiastic archaeolo-
gist and art collector, remarked
that these new discoveries might
be of great value for the preserva-
ton of precious old glass in mu-
seums and churches. Prof. He'd
vail took up the problem, starting
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1948-12-01

with thorough analysis of the
causes of disintegration in glass
He verified that it is caused not
only by a tendency towards crys-
Utilization, which is a more stable
condition than the original amor
phous condition Of clear glass, but
also by reactions between the cal
cium compounds and alkali of the
glass to the water and carbon di-
oxide of the air.
Various kinds of varnish coat
ings proved useless. The new
method ultimately worked out by
Professor Hedvall comprises two
stages: TIL e evacuation of the
glass, in order to remove enclosed
or dissolved gasses, and the appli-
cation of a special plastic COM
pound which is absorbed by cracks
and cavities and seals the glass
against air and moisture.
According to PROF. Hedvall,
complete workshop for the preser-
vative treatment of all Swedish
antique art glass might be estab-
lIshed at a very modest cost. and
1t is possible that the National
Historical Museum in Stockholm
will take up the method.
The Investigations also indicate
possible methods for the treat
ment of other ageing materials,
such as tin, bronze, and steel. An
other phenomenon of interest in
this field is the ageing and crack
ing of old oil paintings, caused by
slow reactions between pigment
and linseed oil and largely depend
ent on the crystalline structure of
the pigments used.

Hello there, here and every
where. Did you know in New YORK
Citv. it is illegal to stand more
than ten minutesyin one place. Ana
according to a city ordinance, lol-
ipops may not be sold in Spokane
Wash. The Progressive Party Con
vention was a Wow-woW. WASN'T I
it? When have you heard as many
Negroes speak on a program OF
nlatform before, where a future
President is concerned. There were
some good speakers too, just nope
Vol heard one of them. You would
be very much surprised. The Dixie
Gratis Convention will be next. L
am anxious to see and hear What
their program is, besides white SUI
premacy. racial-hatred and class
prejudice. Several Communists
were arrested in New York City
last week, by the F. B. 1. Yet the
Klu Klux Klan held one OF the
largest initiation ceremonies IN ltS
history. One thousand inductees
accepted the oath of the klan.
They even burned their high flam-
ing cross. And besides that they
said if the Civil Rights Bill IS
passed. there will be bloodshed.
Now what happened to the F. b. l.:
Oh! they may be hooded too. All
the members are hooded except
the Grand Dragon, Green. Now II
Negroes were concerned in that,
your daily morning paper would
surely have commented on 1t IN an
editorial. Don't take my word, just
watch it. The President is showing
them he means business, in this
"Civil Rights" bill. Those South
erners are about to have a nervous
breakdown. I know Russia ana
other countries are having a good
laugh. at our free country. When
some are saying, there Will De
blood-shed if the Negro who is an
American Citizen, is given equal
OPPORTUNITIES as other citizens.
This is our country, we must love
if. even if we are refused water,
food and equal opportunities 1or
ourselves and equal educational
opportunities for our children.
Some day, some time everything
will work out all right. Just you
wait and see. We wonder how such
things could possibly happen IN
this modern age, when culture,
knowledge and civilization are sup
posed to be increasing. We forget
that the world as a whole is made
up of individuals-no two alike.
Don't forget to spread sunshine as

Eggs Good AS
Menu Helpers

Don't discount the popular &C
claim for "eggs for breakfast" or
any other meal, says Reva Lin
coin, extension nutritionist for the
University of Arizona. Now in
good supply, eggs can help in
menu-planning problems.
The secret of success in cooking
eggs is to use moderate, even
heat. Cooked this way, eggs will
be tender when they are done.
Eggs cooked at too high a tenn
perature become leathery and
tough.
For cooking eggs in the shell,
the water should simmer-never
come to a boil. When frying eggs,
keep the cooking temperature
moderate by using thick skillet
and low heat under the pan. For
