Sparkle is NO angel. She gets
a great deal Of pleasure out of
chasing cats, or barking at them
If she can't get away to chase
them. The dog also doesn't like
people to get close to Miss How

mistress as possible and delights
in placing herself between Miss
Howard and anybody who tries
to stand or sit beside her.
Il won't take her on any dates
with me-" Miss Howard said
with a smile.
During her stay in Morris
town, Miss Howard met blind
couple from New York who in
vited her to spend some time
with them at their home. She
accepted and made her first trip
TO the big city. Although she
liked the sights, she was dis
appointed with the discourteous
people and the speedy tempo of
life.
Miss Howard lived in Tennes-
see all her life until she came
to Chapel Hill. Decatur, her
home, is right in the middle of
the feuding country. Athens,
where a lot of the fighting and
fussing went on, is only 20
miles miles from Decatur.

After her graduation from

here in Chapel Hill.
Miss Howard likes her work
and Chapel Hill, but she objects
to 50 much rain because she has
to give Sparkle a rundown
every time the dog gets wet.
However, the rainy weather
also gives her plenty Of time to

Blind Typist Is an Expert on Candy Making,
Knitting, and Transcribing from DictaphOne
By Bin KeHom


Most people with normal eye
sight consider blindness an
oblivion almost as complete as
that of death. To them it means
m end TO normal human rela-
ti0nships, dependence on others
for aid In the carrying out Of
any task, financial helplessness,
and any number Of other terri
flying conditions.
Yet, here in Chapel Hin is 8
young woman who has been
blind from birth but who has
refused to let this tremendous
handicap deter her from living
4 self-suficient, productive life.
Miss Fannie Elizabeth How
ard, 25-year-oId native OF Deca-
tur. Tennessee, has been .
transcription typist At the hos
initial Saving Association SINCE
1e47. One of the best typists
IN the office, she pounds out
daily the contents Of seven 70
ten cylinders Of dictaphone dc
tation. This dictation amounts
to so or go beautifully typed
letters.
Well known at the Office for
her willingness to help her
friends, Miss Howard has occa-
sionally been a little too accom-
modating. Some time ago the
girls in her Office asked Miss
Howard, who is an accomplished
knitter, to help them with their
knitting. CThey had been TAX
ing lessons at a church social
group meeting.)
She did 80 and her classes be-
came 90 popular that all office
work in her section halted dur
ing the instruction periods. This
extra-curricuIar activity came
to an abrupt end, however. at
the Intervention of Miss How
ards bosses. They felt that,
however useful this instruction
might prove in later years, the
girls still owed first allegiance
to their jobs.
Knitting is not Miss Howard's 9
only forte. She crochets, whips
lace on scarves and clothing,
mends and hens all her clothes,
cooks, plays several musical in
gtruments, and collects classical
records.
Although she doesn't cook full
meals except when she's at
home, Miss Howard does make
delicious chocolate fudge, as her
fellow roomers at the Old Frat
Row home of Mrs. Ernest Tay-
lor win appreciatively attest.
Twice a week during the winter
she prepares the fudge, even
cracking and cleaning the nuts.
But she likes good clothes
better than anything else. I'D
rather have nice clothes than a
square meal" she said. Il get
a lot of my clothes at the Var
sity, and Mama and ] make
some"
"Her taste in clothing is ex-
cellent," Mrs. Taylor said. "The
clerk at the Varsity says she
tells styles by touching the
dress here and there. She wears
the latest fashions. ] think she's
the best-dressed girl in the
house."
Being a self-reliant person by
nature, Miss Howard declared
her independence even further
when she jouneyed alone to the
famous Seeing-Eye dog train
ing school at Morristown, New
Jersey, where she obtained
Sparkle, a black German shep-
herd dog.

Tested Recipes
Wild Game

A LITTLE BOOKLET entitled
"Favorite Recipes of Famous Out
doorsmen" has come to our attention.
1t has been compiled by the Outdoor
Writers Association of America and
contains the favorite recipes of 81
leading outdoor writers, sportsmen,
explorers and commentators.
A few samples from it:
venison: This is d fi~ne-grained
meat with little fat, and unless prop
erly cooked is most unpalatable. A
leg OF haunch should be thoroughly
larded, umerou small crosswise
cuts being filled with strips of fat
salt pork and covered with a flour
paste. 1t should be roasted in a slow
oven and be basted continuously, to-
ward the end with currant jelly
melted in the orippings. Remove the
flour paste before serving.
Venison pate, n spread, is a recipe
given me in South Carolina. One
cup of leftover cooked venison,
finely ground, to one cup of butter;
these are worked together with a
spatula into a fine paste and well
seasoned with Worcestershire or Al
sauce, salt and black pepper, paprika
or red pepper, according to taste and
formed in a mold. 1t will keep in
definitely in the ice box and serves
as a spread on crackers or sliced with
salad. Cooked shrimp can be pre-
pared in the same fashion.-Horatio
Bigelow, writer for outdoor publica-
tons.
Bear roast: One really must know
how to prepare and cook bear meat
or it can hardly be eaten. Bear meat
is both strong and tough, if from an
= old bear. Never try to broil and fry
bear steaks from an old bear, al
least not like you would ordinary
steaks.
l learned this the hard way, but
bear meat can be prepared so as to
be delicious. A roast is always pref
cradle.
Rub with plenty of salt and pep,
per; rub a little garlic around inside
of vessel you are to boil it in; put
in plenty of water and boil unit
tender, does not make any difference
how long. When tender remove tt
rooster, use more salt and pepper
and cover with sliced onions. Roas-
until brown. May put in a little
water it was boiled in or pour ovel
a little while roasting.
The above applies to wild boal
meat also. Delicious gravy can b.
made from juice and water in which
it was boiled.-Daniel Boone, great
great-grandson of the pioneer DAME
Boone, who says he never lets hi
law practice interfere too much will
his hunting and fishing.
Smothered pheasant: Cut bird il
pieces suitable for frying. Roll il
sailed flour. Brown slowly and care
| fully in enough fat to cover the bot
tom of the pan about one-fourth inc
deep. Dribble about II cup crear
ove bird about every half hour I'm
til done. Cook on low heat. Serv
with wild rice.
Wild rice: "a cup wild rice, X tea
spoon salt, 8 cups boiling water,
teaspoons butter. Wash rice thol

5parkman Says Split
0verCiviI RightsWon'
Harm Party Program

Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
Of Alabama predicted today the
split in Democratic ranks over
civil rights will not sabotage the
party's entire legislative program
in the 1850 session of Congress.
He also discounted talk that
the fight over FEPC, anti-lynch-
ing and related bills may break
up the Democratic Party.
We're all Democrats, and we're
going to stay Democrats" he said.
ANY fight we might have won't
draw the Southerners into a coali-
ton with the Republicans"
A preview of the civil rights de-
bate took place yesterday in hear
ings being conducted by Senator
Sparkman as chairman of a sub
committee of low-income families.
DR.. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee,
. Washington physician and pres
ident of the National Council of
Negro Women, urged passage of
the civil rights bill as one step
needed to raise the economic level
of minority groups. which make
up a large percentage of the low
income families.
Senator Sparkman took issue
with DR.. Ferebee over the wisdom
of trying to solve the fair employ
ment practice problem by law.
He also criticized the administra-
tons anti-lynching bill on the
ground it would not cover crimes
of mob violence in big cities.
Deploring the 'legalistic ap-
proach" to some of these prob
lens, Senator Sparkman said the
solution to inequality in job OPP
portunity is to gear the Nations
economy to create full employ
ment. When there was full en-
ployment during the war, there
was little need for FEPC, he said.
