Fisherman Plans
TO Trap Whales
With Waltz Music

Boston. - Capt. Jack Doane,
fingered his gray chin stubble and
allowed as how his whale jail would
make him world famous or an inter-
national flop.
The 69-year-old fisherman plans
to cruise New Englaud's coast like
a sea-going Pied Piper, Turing
whales to the surface with Strauss
waltzes and then corralling 'em.
He's positive his theory will work.
Said he'd been working on it gen.
Grafton. He has convinced Capt.
Jack Lang, skipper of the SIS. West
port, and excursion fishing vessel,
to lend his boat for the experiment.
I'm a peaceful man, considered
most ways" Captain Doane OBJ
served to leeward. But ever since
I was a shaver in Nova Scotia I've
hated whales.
Whales Cause Trouble
Something about 'em just tan
giles my rigging. Lately they been
causing trouble much-in these
parts.
II mind how they rammed the ex-
cursion boat Of the Ancient and Hon.
orable Artillery company of Massa-
cbusetts. Short time ago one up
ended fishing boat down province
town-way and like to kill boy.
"Cause of these things and cause
I just naturally hate whales anyway
I figured they ought to be lured into
a cove and jailed up there and
bopped on the head at leisure, as
you might say"
He's the man for the job, he said.
Eyes, mate, I've done plenty Of
whale research. I know the ugly
critters like music. If you remem-
bered, they were playing music on
the excursion boat when they got
rammed."
Lurk Off East Coast
The same whales that have been
doing this promiscuous ramming,
he said, still lurk off the New Eng
land coast.
my plan is to take the old West
port out and just sit there and play
music over a loud speaker system, I"
he said.
'I've picked waltzes by that fel-
Ter Strauss cause they're lazy
things that would naturally appeal
to a whale.
1.-THE monsters will hear it and
come to the boat and we'll lead 'em
into cove we got picked out. The
tide will beach 'em and it'll be a
regular whale Jail. Well repeat it
every day till we've de-whaled the
whole region
A few infidels have scoffed at the
proposed whale-jal, the Captain ad-
mitted. He attributed this to a gen.
eral lack Of whale savvy. Let 'em
laugh" he chuckled. I'm stub
born man."

Sisters Meet For
First Time

A London airport was the scene
of the meeting Of two sisters who
had never seen each other before,
although both were over thirty
wears old. When Miss June Morgan,
81, stepped down from the plane
arriving from the United States she
was greeted by her sister Violet, "a,
now Mrs. Clifford Evans Of Read
ing, England, who had been left in
Great Britain as a child when her
parents went to America, where
June was born three years later.
Each sister had photographs of the
other and they had no difficulty in
recognizing each other at the
crowded airport.

Melons have an affinity for lime
seasoning. Marinate wedges or
balls of melon in the juice before
serving them on crisp lettuce
leaves.
Have you ever served shrimp
salad in cucumber cups? Or try
the salad in green pepper rings.
garnished with wedges of red, ripe,
well chilled tomatoes and deviled
eggs.
Pimiento cups are nice inno'

with an egg and celery salad.

Most common types Of shoe
polish can be removed with clean
ing fluid. Or, on washable whites,
let the polish dry and then brush
most of it off. After that, wet it
,..4u let it dry again so you can
brush it again.
To keep sandwiches fresh, wrap
them in waxed paper; but before
you fold the paper over, run a
warm iron along the double edges.
The wax will melt and the edges
will fuse.
To scrape the bottom of a pot,
use a wooden spoon or the sharp
end of a wooden clothespin. This
minimizes noise as well as DAM
age to the pot.

LYNN SAYS:
Do Something Special
With Your Salads

Scoop out fresh and nicely firm
cucumbers. Flake can of salmon,
season it with lemon juice and
mayonnaise and fill the followed
cucumbers. With this pass some
crackers and cheese and luncheon
is served.
Chicken salad takes on an elegant
air when it's served in canned
peach halves. Sprinkle with toasted.
Slivered almonds.

well as bruised fruit or muSSed
cake.
Everyone will feel better at pic
mics if you plan well balanced
meals, so have your share OF
starches, vitamins and minerals.
Sandwiches are a standby, but
they can have infinite variety. Add
some crisp vegetables to the filing
when you can, thus making the
texture interesting and more deli
ciouS
Plan to use fruit in season, care
fully washed and wrapped, of
course, so you can enjoy eating it.
Cakes should be simple, and are
best made in square or oblong
pans, tucked in box and cut when
served. No chance for messing
when it's done this way!

first AID to the
AILING HOUSE
by Roger C. Whitman

QUESTION: Our gas refrig-
orator has taken on a yellowish
color. How can 1 restore it to it's
former whiteness?
ANSWER: Try washing the sur
face with mild soap and warm
water. Rinse with a solution OF
javelle water, using about three
teaspoonsful in a quart of water,
and wipe dry.
QUESTION: What can I do
about hot water pipes that con-
stantly cause the paint to peel off?
I wish to repaint several rooms
and would like this information.
ANSWER: You could use a ra-
diator enamel, following the man.
ufacturer's directions for applica-
ton. But you should make some
allowance for a slight darkening
of the color under heat and choose
shade a little lighter than you
otherwise would select. The pipes
must be clean and cold for a good
paint job and for thorough drying.
QUESTION: Please send me
information on sealing the inside
of a concrete stock tank, size 16'
x6'x3'. This tank has walls about
foot thick. Last winter the
water in this tank froze, causing
tank to crack.
ANSWER: The following meth
cd should serve: Cut into the
crack with cold chisel to make
it deeper Cat least one inch) and
wider, so that a patch can be
forced all the way through. Brush
out all loose bits of cement and
sand. Soak the edges with water
and then pack the crack with a
stiff mixture of one part portland
cement and three parts of clean,
sharp sand, using only enough
water to make a workable mix
ture. Keep the patch damp for
several days so that mortar will
have time to cure and attain full
density.

Discomfort among workers in

en- from the discriminatory "sil-
ver-gold" system instituted by
Americans to distinguish between
American citizens and non-citizens
or in other words, between cofored
and white. Silver, is for non-citi-
zens, and gold for whites.
Although the original bill pro-
vided for $1,4OO,OOO housing for
non-citizen employees, the house
struck this part out. Richardson,
citing the deploables conditions of
'"silver" housing, asked the senate
to restore this section to the bill
and even add more.
He referred to- 12-family wood
en- shacks with very inadequate
toilet facilities and very small
rooms for large families with no
gas provided. He also noted that
the government provides no pub
lie housing for non-citizens. Gold
citizens housing has been termed
"~wretched" by Investigators he
said, and silver housing is much

a. An extra subsistence rate for

At present the average wage of

many receiving only 1860 hourly.
The recommended minimum wage
is based on the Wagner act.

More than 80 years ago this
month a Negro baby was born to
a slave monther on the Old Bur
roughs plantation in Franklin
county, Virginia. This infant was
destined to play such an important
part in the affairs of men that his
name was to be written in the
Hall of Fame among those Of
Americas 'immortals.
This Negro baby was Booker T.
Washington. Because Of his large
contributions to our American
way of life in the fields of edu-
cation, of health, Of industry, of
religion, of business, and of inter-
racial goodwill, the nation has
time and again paid tribute to his
memory. Two o fthe most recent
of these tributes have been made
in connection with the movement
to establish at his birthplace a
"Cervice Memorial" built in keep
ing with the guiding principle of
his life - helpfulness toward
others.
These tributes were the coinage
of five million Booker T. Wash
ington memorial half dollars and
the establishment of a post office
known as Booker Washington
Birthplace, Virginia, at the site of
his birth. In paying these tributes,
the 10th congress which author

department were laying the foun-
dation for Americans of all races
and creeds to join hands to do
honor to a man who has directly
or indirectly contributed to the
success of millions Of our lives.
This can be done by purchasing
Booker T. Washington memorial
half dollars at 81 each. The half
dollar which is paid above the face
value of the coin is really an in
vestment in the economic welfare
of the Negro race 1t will be used
to help open trade and industrial
training opportunities for Negroes
of low educational status.
During the month of February,
10 5000 Americans purchased the
Booker T. Washington memorial
half dollars on the strength of an
appeal carried through the press
in CONJUNCTION with Lincoln's
birthday. These peoples response
was in appreciation of what Lin

appealing to you to pay tribute to
one of these freed slaves who

ness, served mankind without
thought of race or creed, and
through a program of unselfish
service won for himself the re-
| spect and admiration of the world.

Methodist 5. 5. Tries
For 200 Mark Sunday
R. c. Moore, Supt. Urges
All Church Members
To Attend

At the beginning of this year the
Methodist Sunday School set
it's goal on attendance of 200
before the close of the year and
reports have come close to that
number on several Sundays, but
have not been able to reach it. One
Sunday 1877 were present.
The Sunday School is going
to try to reach that number next
Sunday morning and is inviting
every Methodist in town to be there.
r. c. Moore, superintendent, re-
ports an enthusiastic meeting of the
workers council, Monday night with
expressed optimism toward reaching
the goal next Sunday. 1t is suggested
that the mothers bring their babies,
regardless Of age. The Sunday
School has a nursery department
with competent teachers to Ear for
the children. MI. Moore reports that
plans to reward the class with the
largest attendance based on their
present enrolment are being made.
He says, the men say they are going
to win the reward; but that they will
have to go some to beat the primary
and beginner departments, and per-
haps some of the others. In urging
members to make plans to be there
to see who the winner is, Mr.. Moore
says this is not what one would
call a contest, but that everybody
likes a winner and he hopes all
will win by getting 200 people to
come next Sunday.
One member who has not missed
a Sunday in more than eight years,
may be called on Sunday to make
a speech and tell how this can be
done, Mr.. Moore said.
Sunday school meets at the Edu-
c~ational building, Sunday morning
at 10 o'clock for an hour of fellow
ship and inspiration.

BPW Can Do Bit
To Fight Initiation
L. w. Robb, Jr., Gives
Talk Before Local Club
On Keeping Freedom

How Business and Professional
women can individually help combat
initiation, by understanding and
talking the underlying causes and
results, vas told by Lawrence w.
Rabb, attorney, to the BPW club
at its regular monthly luncheon
meeting Tuesday. Mrs. Ruth Hollo-
nan Duke presided.
Basing his talk on the program
theme, Keeping Freedom Free"
Mr.. Rabb discussed initiation and the
high cost of living, pointing to mo-
nopoly as ''one of the most impor-
tant forces contributing to the pre-
sent initiation" He cited various in
stances whereby high prices are
contributed to, if not directly caused
by, existing monopolies.
The speaker said 3 companies ac-
count for the total aluminium supply,
IS per cent of window glass and 80
per cent of cigarettes; 80 per cent of
the feature pictures in the United
States are controlled by "the five
movie producers" In this way, Mr..
Rabb pointed out, monied companies
and corporations can serve as a
threat to the American free capita
listic system, upon which our
government prides itself, by freez-
ing out smaller competition that
might offer lower prices, and then
agreeing with other big companies
In setting prices a year in advance.
Mr.. Rabb gave as other instances
that four of the nine major steel
making companies produced in 1945,
u per cent of all the country's tin
plate, used in the manufacture of
tin cans, and so readily bought by
housewives in their weekly grocery
/ shopping; that all brands of ciga-
rettes maintain a uniform price; the
imperfect e ii or
"quasi-monopoly" existent in the
automotive industry.
Smaller and commonly-used
household items such as inlaid limo
leum, rubber combs, borax, sewing
machines, oleomargarine and soap
were also listed by the speaker as
price controlled by four companies
in a recent year.
BY everyday conversation, and by
concerted efforts at work on con-
gressmen in their decisions whether
to relax or tighten Antitrust laws,
the Business and Professional women
can help combat initiation and "keep
| our freedom Free" Mr.. Rabb said.
During the brief business session,
it was decided to hold further meet
ings of the club on the second Fri
day of each month. Mrs. w, L. Muir
tagh assumed the t~reasurer's duties
with the resignation of Mrs. Sue
Bailey. Mrs. Ethel King was well
coined as a new member.
