Hot Sauce

cup butter

" cup cream
Melt sugar and butter together
and add cream. Flavor with Sherry
Brandy, or Rum Flavoring and serve
hot over pudding.
Marporie's comment was, that the
pudding tastes like plum pudding,
only not so rich, except the sauce,
that's what adds to its goodness. II
you have a large enough double
boiler you can double the recipe

Loyal Circle Class
Christmas Party

The Royal Circle Glass of the First
Brethren Church held their Christ
mas Party last week, in the social
rooms of the church, with the Glass
president, Mrs. Blanche Boyer, pre-
siding.
The pastor, Rev. James E. Ault,
opened the program with prayer,
after which the group sang a num-
Der of Carols, with Mrs. j. R. Laugh
lin at the piano. The next number
on the program was by Mrs. Ault,
who gave three delightful readings:
"Jimmie's Prayer" Snowman and
''The Sun Is Always Shining"
Miss Vera Laughlin, teacher of the
Glass, then gave a short talk, after
which Mrs. Ira Downey told beau
tiful story, 'Life's Scales" and this
was followed by poem, Little
Things Count" given by Mrs. Leila
Cromer.
The pastor then brought the first
part of the program to a close by
telling a Christmas story, Archie
and Little joe"
The social part of the evening then
got under way, with Mrs. c. Frank
Myers in charge of the games, all
of which were thoroughly enjoyed
The group then gathered round the
festive board, attractively decorated
in the Christmas motif and filled
with good things to eat, which ev-
eryone did full justice to- }r
Mrs. Leila Cromer, Mrs. Grace
Eakle and Mrs. Howard Keplinge
were in charge of the refreshments.

Aid to Houses
By Roger c. Whitmon

Question: We have a very nice
bungalow that my husband and
built completely by ourselves.
When we had the foundation
poured, our forms were not strong
enough for the great weight and
pressure exerted by the heavy pre-
mixed concrete. Well, the truck
driver advised us to reinforce our
forms and he returned the next
week.
This allowed the concrete that
had been poured to set-up and
dry out completely. Now we have
a leak at the space where the two
concrete mixtures didn't knit.
This condition exists in all four
corners of our cellar and from
intense rainfalls we even have
clay dirt that the rain has forced
through these places. Our cellar
is useless because of this. Do you
think we'll ever have a dry cellar?
Are there any steps or methods of
waterproofing that might take
care of such a terrible leaking
condition?
Answer: I believe you can re-
pair the leak yourselves. Widen
the crack where the leak occurs
with a hammer and cold chisel,
making the sides of the groove
straight and rough and at least
one inch in depth. Brush out all
loose particles and then wet the
inside of the crack with water.
Pack well with a stiff mortar
mixture Of one part portland ce-
ment and three part of clean,
coarse building sand, with enough
water to make a stiffish, workable
mixture. Keep the patch damp
for several days. This should be
done on both sides of the wall.

pared patching mortar on sale at

|ousinq Writer Tells Of House That Has Everything
By Douglas Tuomey

NEW YORK, Dec. pa "house
that has everything" is offered
in an attractive new plan. And
probably the most important fea-
ture of the house is the economy
with which it can be built and
the amount of privacy available
to the owner.
The house is designed by Chap
man and Evans, architects. so
that the kitchen and garage face
the street, while the living room
overlooks a spacious patio which
can be developed to suit the own
er's particular taste.
The bedrooms, which are To-
Gated in a wing by themselves,
overlook a garden and are as far
removed from the street as pos
sible, thus providing maximum
Of quiet for sleeping.
The living room. which offers
some 200 square feet of floor
space. a large fireplace and one
entire glass wall. looks out over
a wide and long terrace which is
literally an invitation to the out
doors in any season of the year.
and presents an ideal spot for
Sunbathing whenever the oppor-
tunity presents itself.
The general arrangement makes
this house perfect for the family
with small children, as the patio.
enclosed on all sides. presents
safe playground.
The garden section along the
rear property line doubles as a
picnic area, as the small tool
house boasts an outdoor grill for
cooking as well as being conven-
lent for storage of garden tools
and other household accessories.
1t would be difficult to conceive
q plan offering more privacy, con-
venience and generally comfort
able living on small plot of
ground.
An unusual feature and an add
ed touch of luxury for the owner
lies in the private door leading
out of the master bedroom to the
terrace. Still another interest
ing and practical feature is in
the location of the one bathroom,
which is directly available from
the terrace through a side door,
next to both bedrooms, and with
in 10 feet of the living room.

Repair Queries

fuse this with patching plaster.
Il should like to congratulate you
on your ambition and energy in
undertaking such a big job, and If
the repair work on the crack does
not succeed, you can always call
in a good mason or waterproofing
contractor to help you.)
Cracked Wallpaper.
Question: Is there anything !
can use over cracked wallpaper
to prevent the new wallpaper
from cracking? I have used mus
lin and crack filler, but the new
wallpaper continues to crack in
many Of the same places, and
the patches are noticeable under
the paper.
Answer: It would be best to
take of the old paper and then
fill the cracks in the plaster in
the right way. You can get patch
ing plaster from your hardware
store, which is easier to use than
ordinary plaster of Paris, as it
hardens more slowly and gives
more time to work. The crack
should be "undercut," making it
wider at the lath than at the
surface.
The plaster in the crack should
be well dampened, and loose
crumbs. should be cleaned out.
Fill the crack almost to the top
and let dry; in drying it will
shrink a little. Then fill to the
surface and smooth. I believe
that when you filed the cracks
you made a surface filling, which
soon loosened.
When the crack is properly
'undercut" the patch job should
last a long time. provided there
is hot too much settling of the
foundations or vibration from
traffic, etc. Always put on a glue
sizing before applying wallpaper.

Mine Peace in Balance
As More Operators
File NLRB Complaints
BY fhe Assoeiofsd Press

John L. Lewis faced a new chal-
lenge from large part of the soft
coal industry today, with peace in
the mines for most of 1850 possibly
hanging in the balance.
Northern and Midwestern coal
operators, following in the steps
of the Southern Coal Producers
Association, yesterday charged be-
fore the National Labor Relations
Board that Mr.. Lewis has been
guilty of unfair labor practices.
They asked the NLRB to get an
injunction ending the three-day
work week decreed by the presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers.
They called it a device intended to
coerce them into signing an illegal
contract. And they protested that
Mr.. Lewis had refused to bargain
with them in good faith.
To Decide Next Week.
NLRB General Counsel Robert
N. Denham indicated that he will
decide by the end Of next week
whether to seek the court order
asked by the mine owners.
While Mr.. Lewis has never dis
closed the terms he wants to re-
place the contract which expired
last June 80, he has announced
over the past few weeks that some
small mines have signed an agree
ment providing SIS basic daily
wage and boost in the UNIV
welfare royalty to IS cents ton.
Those mines. producing a total
Of 18,293,752 tons a year, have
returned to a flve-day week.
AS for the balance of the soft
coal industry, there was some
question whether it would remain
in production at all next week.
MIR. Lewis three-day week order
ended a~52-day strike and rumors
were circulating through the soft
coal fields that the mines not un-
der contract would again be shut
down on Tuesday.
Some Progress Reported.
The anthracite operators. en-
ploying 10000 Eastern Pennsyl-
vania miners. are negotiating with
the union in New York City. and
some progress was reported.
Eight associations from the
North and Midwest signed the
complaint filed yesterday. Their
total annual production, coupled
with that of the Southern asso-
Citations, makes a total Of $685.
600, 900 tons lined up in the NLRB
test of Mr.. Lewis strategy.
That is about half of last years
soft coal output.
Still uncommItted in the NLRB
complaint are United States Steel
Corp. and other steel companies
having their own bituminous coal
mines. as well as mines in Gen.
trail Pennsylvania, Illinois and
west of the Mississippi.
