excellent, yet the flavor of good
homemade pickles lends an individ-
uality that is hard to match.
From Secrets of New England
Cookery
Sweet things in the cupboard
may have been for the women of
the family, but there was no disput-
ing that pickles were made for the
menfolk. In big, white crooks in the
cellar, nesting under grape leaves,
were large and small cucumber
pickles, ranging from the sour kind
which puckered your mouth as you
ate them-and incidentally were
used to tell when the children had
the mumps-to small sweet pickles
served on special occasions.
whole cucumber pickles, sliced
cucumber pickles, pickles made with
oil, dill, or mixed with cauliflower
and onions, each variety was planned
for serving with a special meat or
fish dish. The New England house
wife would no more have forgotten
the pickle dish when she laid the
table than she would have left off
the salt and pepper, the vinegar and
mixed horseradish."

New Year Resolutions


THERE is something about the passing Of the old wear
and the entry of the New that brings a lump to the throat
OF all Christians. 1t is as if a good, old friend, known ane
understood, had suddenly left, and a new, Young unknown
upon the scene. We know what the wear which lef
held forth to US, its ups and downs, its trials and tribulations
IT'S Joys and sorrows, the progress it held, and what might
have been failure. But the New Year, what of itP .Opundstl
.ca1ly and with brave hearts we plunge into it, hoping and
praying that all will, be well, with us, with our neiqhbors
and the world in general, Yet there is that element of mcer
tainty which even for a fleeing moment causes everyone to-
stop and think.
TO US HERE in ST. Croix there is need to be optimistic
and to continue to work even harder for a better dav. The
same, pressing, difficult problems beset us. There is that eter-
Inally present economic problem which has faced us, and
seems to become more pronounced with each passing year.
1t IS to escape the realities of such conditions that the bulk
lot our young people-the generations of tomorrow-fnd
themselves on the mainland and elsewhere. But those of us
who are left behind must continue to work, seeking here, pry-
ing there, but always in an effort to bring to these shores one
of the four reedoms--freedom from want.
THE PAST year saw many Improvements, chief among
which was the u Armys favorable report to the construc-
ton of a dock in St. Croix. Most important is that we get the
benefit of it, and it is impossible for any particular section Of
this island to be excluded from such benefits once the dock is
placed along these shores. In the legislature there have been
serious attempts made at some good work, vet the results
have not been what they should because of failure to give
that last measure Of cooperation SO necessary for success.
AS H CHURCH bells tolled out the old year, and
rang in the new, it was our wish that everything good come
for these islands with the New Year. But wishing by itself,
may be very ineffective. As we Worshiped in our respective
|churches it is hoped that we resolved to start the New Year
with a step in the right direction, and this step might be to
|resolveAto cooperate more fully for the good Of all St. Croix.
While was good to know the old year, and the future holds
uncertainty, with optimism we approach this New Year, and
hope that next year when the bells toll again--n that fleeing
moment we stop to reAect--may we be able to count more
progress then than now

 Headen was held 21 hours. Amer ican officials who questioned him said the Russians did not man. handle him.
 They accused me of taking pie lures of Soviet soldiers. I denied this,' Headen said,
 Headen said ne immediately iden- tified himself, but that this seem ed to have no effect. The Rus sians refused him permission to telephone American authorities and took him to Soviet headquarters jail. His story continued:
 Placed In Cell
 T was put in cell with a three -tiered wooden bunk with a raised end as a pillow. The cell was clean, but poorly lighted. I was told I would have follow the usual rules for inmates, namely that I could not lie down between 5 a. m. and II p. m.'
 I'm glad to he back, and I cer- tainly don't want to have any part of that any more," Headen con- mented as he was brought back to American Military Police head quarters.
 He said the Russians had re- turned the camera he had with him when he was picked up, before the eyes of his wife and two chil- dren.
 Both Turner and Myers are U. s. Military Government officials. They were picked up by the Rus sians while on a border inspection August 5.
 U. s. officers who talked with the two quoted them as saying they had been well treated by Russian standard"
 From the information they gave us, they apparently were not held in jail and were well treated" one constabulary officer said.
 The detention of Turner and Myers was the longest by Russian officials in the recent series of arrests of Americans.
