Kaschtan was being welcomed by
his uncle and aunt. Mr.. and Mrs.
Asher PomerantZ. The two young
men were the sole survivors Of large
families, whose homes were leveled
by fire and bombs.
They arrived yesterday at Boston
with SAT other immigrants admitted
under the Displaced Persons Act OF
last year. Another ship with 457
persons is due to dock in New York
Friday.
Young Gendelman taught himself
some English during the years he
spert in a Displaced Persons camp
in Austria, and Mr. Kaschtan plans
to learn the language at night
school. Both men, who were able
to converse with relatives here in
Yiddish, also speak Polish, Russian
and some German.
Mr.. Gendelman is the only sur
vivor among his clan of 300 rela-
tives, his aunt said: His parents and
five sisters and brothers were killed
by the Nazis during their early oc-
cupation of Poland. along with his
grandmother, who was Mrs. Sher-
mans mother.
Il Escaped Machine Guns.
7 Mrs. Sherman said the family
and sothers were summoned by the
Germans to a place near the town
where they lived There machine
guns were turned on them. Young
Isaac ran and escaped to the woods.
Later he was taken in by a peasant
family, and still later was given
shelter by friends. When the Rus
sian Army came he was forced to
enlist. After the war he was sent
to Austria.
Mr.. Gendelman learned Mrs.
Sherman's address from a cousin
in Argentina, and finally wrote>to
her. She had not seen him since
he was 6, when she went back to
Poland for a visit. Even through
tear-flled eyes she recognized him
from the picture he had sent. She
and a daughter, Miss Shirley Sher-.
man. met him at the Union Sta

HOLLYWOOD.
These are great days for the
Hollywood Indians. Chief Thunder
Cloud says the aboriginal actors
are all well off.
The chief, best known perhaps
as Tonic of the Lone Ranger
series, is the unofficial mentor OF
the Indian colony.
There are only about SIS In
dams in Hollywood now, against
$50 q few years ago." said Thunder
Cloud. "And there are enough
pictures with Indian roles to keep
most Of them busy all the time"
The chief, a Cherokee, has one
of the important parts in Colt
49," which he said is his sixth
picture this year.
II have been offered play on
the road, but I don't want to leave
Hollywood as long as there is SO
much work here" he said.
He Sings, Too.
Thunder Cloud is also a concert
singer. He sings in many Ian
guages, including various Indian
dialects, and considers himself
a linguist.
II love languages, and I can
pick them up very easily. A group
of Polynesians was imported fol

picture days he appeared with
such favorites as Hoot Gibson
Tim Mccoy. Monte Blue. Harry
Carey. William s. Hart and Buck
Jones.
The chief began his career a:
Cherokee Slim. a trick rider ir
rodoes. There he met Gibson anc
other cowboys who induced him tt

II never planned to become Ar
actor" he confessed. But I dc
remember reading Geronimo as
a kid. At that time I thought that
I might like to become an actor
just to play the part Of Geronimo. y
Well, he did play Geronimo, In
1889.
The chief was a key figure in
obtaining relief for needy Navajo
reservation Indians a couple OF
years ago. I'VE organized the

hope to gain for Indians their

Miss Dunbar thought what an
outstanding opportunity for her to
start a bright child on the road to
achievement, perhaps fame, and turn
him away from his present unfruit-
full tendencies.
The key to that opportunity, how
ever, lay in what she did with that
bag, moving so restlessly.

some sign of rebellion from ALI. He
still seemed to be in partial uncer-
tainty about her. Or was he hoping
that she would come through? There
was a peculiar look on his freckled
face. i
The bag was going into a %convul-
sion. Would it hold? What if it
didn't? The children prepared for a
speedy exodus. They sat on the very
edges of their seats.
That boy! And yet she felt a kin

He reminded her of her brother
Sam at about that age. Sam, too,
had been bright, energetic, full of

To keep him from getting into real
trouble, she had presented him with
some rabbits. Sam turned his ex-
cess energy into caring for them and
the numerous other pets, both wild
and tame, which he soon acquired.
Caring for them, looking after them
in their sicknesses, he'd decided to
become a doctor.
Vividly she remembered the crisis
in Sans life, when his dog had
killed his favorite pet, a squirrel.
Heart-broken, Sam had started sell
ing off the rest of his pets. Nobody
had been able to talk him out of it.
AS A LAST resort, she brought
Sam a book on t~axidermy, suggest
ing that he could mount his squirrel
and keep him always.
With his old enthusiasm, Sam had
studied taxidermy, mounting his
squirrel. He'd gone on, learning to
tan leather. Eventually he'd made a
belt, the pride of his heart.
There! She had her own solution.
Thinking of her brother, it had come
to her just like that!
And just in time. Already it was
9 o'clock.
She steeled herself. She picked up
the bag, which rustled ominously
and held it out to ALI. Sudden re-

Instead of taking a seat, as had

paper bag tightly tied with string at

she couldn't quite think of whom.

Becker, the boy the county super
intendent had warned her about
when she SO reluctantly hired Miss
Dunbar simply because there vas
no older, experienced applicant for
this school.
THANK you," she said, accepting
the bag. Inside it, something moved,
with a dry rustic. Controlling a
sudden, unreasoning terror, Miss
Dunbar forced herself to set the bag
deliberately on her desk.
She felt some inward amusement
at the boys look of disappointment.
Evidently this wasn't the reaction
he'd hoped for from her.

county superintendent had said.
Fiendish, Miss Dunbar thought,

A lot of things can go through a
persons mind in a few moments, she
thought. But nothing that would be
useful occurred to her now, when
she needed an idea desperately. The
paper bag shifted about ominously.
Moments passed. Alf's face took on
a derisive expression. The other
children, taking their cue from him,
moved rest1essly in their seats. When
the paper bag finally turned COM
pletely over, there were hysterical
giggles from the girls.
Nevertheless, the same apprehen-

Cook Books Make
Good Gifts

WHY DO NOT more people give
cook books for Christmas? They
make wonderful gifts for the en-
gagged girl, the young woman who
has just started keeping house-and
even some of us who have kept
house for years feel the urge for
new ways. Here are a few to be
recommended:
Scandinavian Cookery for Ameri-
cans" by Florence Brobech and Mon
ika Kjellberg ($3, Little, Brown &
Co, publishers, contains recipes for
the best of the famous cookery of
Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Fin
land, such as Stekt sill me, loksas,
Kjottboller, Kroppkakor, Bordsel-
skab bakkelse, Kieli talon tapaan,
Sennep saus or Revbensspjall, Fyllda
mandelkakor.
Kenneth Roberts, author of some
of the finest American historical
novels, among which are Northwest
Passage and "Oliver Wiswell," likes
good food and occasionally mentions
it in his writings. AS a result he re-
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-12-15

ceives letters telling of some favo-
rite food or recipe. This is the back
ground of Marjorie Mosser's book,
"Good Main Food" $3.50, Doubleday
& Co., Inc.). The file of cooking let
tiers grew, coming from every state
and many foreign countries men
and women who remembered the
good food they had grown up with
"back in Maine" They sent family
recipes to fill a cook book, which is
exactly what Miss Mosser did-such
dishes as red flannel hash, low null,
lemon pie, oxtail soup and fiddle
heads.

AS we enter the house we VIII
probably first be ushered into the
dining room, which is also the fam
lily living room. Here we find the
age-old hearth has been supplanted
by a coal stove. Many beautiful
~hand-carved or marble fireplaces
have only the mantel to remind one
of glowing log fires.
In this family room we see a "a
dio with a short wave set Il almost
felt I was home the night I listened
to the Dodgers beat the Yankees
1-0) by which many a Belgian boy
sat listening to English and Ameri-
can broadcasts during the war. The
floor is of patterned cement blocks
cement is a necessity because the
Belgian housewife daily swabs the
floor in good old navy fashion.
3 Differences in Food
A stranger at once feels at home
because you no more than get seated
when you find a cup of coffee and
tartine before you. The lady of the
house would be quite offended if
her gesture of hospitality were re-
fused.
l notice only three big differences
in the food here. The first is break
fast-only coffee and bread and but
ter are eaten, but the people seem
quite healthy, so they surely must
receive all the nutrients during the
dinner and supper meals. Secondly,
soup is served every noon without
fail. 1t is generally a vegetable
PURGE and very delicious. The third
difference is the 4 o'clock snack,
which is as important to a Belgian
as tea is to the Englishman. Here
again n eats tartines and coffee.
When a Belgian family put on
their Sunday best you may be as
sured of seeing only the most chic
outfits. Suits and dresses are gen.
orally tailor made for the individual.
The men "pooh-hoo" their wives
hats with the same popularity as do
American men. The main difference
in costume is with the shoes. Bel
gian women walk many a mile,
therefore they of necessity wear
wedges and low-heeled dress shoes
with even the most fancy dress ano
hat.
Belgium is economically more sta
BILE than any other European coun
try except Switzerland. 1t was quite
evident after the crash of the 80
and after the last war. Most of thu
credit for the stability goes to tn
Individual Belgian, for with his har'
work he has kept his head .abov
water through the many crucial pc
RODS of the past years.
Common Interest-Peace
Neither can one forget the abb
statesmen who have guided tn.
small country to economic securit
and a noble place in the world. Pau
Henri Spaak is perhaps the mo-
famous, since he was first presidei

modern directions; nevertheless, Gay

Dietz and August Dietz Jr. ($3, The

reading for anyone.
"Ann Batchelder's Cook Book"
($2.75, M. Barrows & Co., Inc.) is
modern and as practical and inter
esting as the author herself. Well
known to American housewives, she
puts a zest into her recipes which
sends one into the kitchen to make,
for instance, potato s%ouffle; after it
comes out of the oven she advises
to "serve this dish tout de suite
quick as a Gator it is of the souf-
file family, and you know how that
crowd acts; give 'em two minutes
and they'll fall a mile!" Or she has
this to say for her "best 2-egg layer

as a 2-egg cake, it is a very good
cake-good enough for anybody, any
