that she has trouble with menu
planning. New combinations are
welcomed with almost every meat,
says Reba Stages, home econo-
mist.
With pork, nearly all fruit flaw
ors are good: cranberries add tart
ness; apricots and prunes contri-
butte to the already rich flavor of
the meat; sliced pineapple and
oranges add flavor and attractive
color. Even in apples there is new
variety, for baked whole apples,
candied cinnamon apples or fried
apple rings can prevent the mon
otony that comes from frequent
service of apple sauce.
Other foods go equally well. For
instance, there is the almost for
gotten combination of pork and
turnips. Greens of all kinds-tur-
nip, spinach, etc.-are especially
good with pork. Harvard beets and
green beans or broccoli go well.
Sauerkraut and. spareribs make
another good pork meal for really
hearty eating, and fluffy mashed
sweet or Irish potatoes to eat with
the good pork gravy is another
suggestion.

So long as there is light we may

may cross the continent from sun

But every now and then Mother

cause us a lot of annoyance and

When a good heavy fog comes
everything that moves, moves with

The drivers on the highways
must make their way cautiously
through that battling screen. For
one thing is true. In spite of all our
progress, transportation still de-

The Delaware Safety Council

Adjust your headlights.
Direct the beams downward.
Slow down.
Keep a good weather eye ahead.
Use your horn frequently.
And be sure to have your stop

Feather Bedding Means Less Service To You
But brazen feather-bedding schemes like the
one now proposed would, if successful, divert
large sums of money from our present Inn

improvements like the diesel worthless, by
making the cost of their operation prohibitive.
These demands are against YOUR interests
-as well as those of the railroads. They are
schemes to make work.. Neither you nor
the railroads should be forced to pay such
penalty for progress.
That's why the railroads are resisting these

q Leaders of unions representing rail-

railroads to add extra, needless men on
diesel locomotives. This is sheer waste
"a "make-work" program which would

Railroads use modern diesel locomotives be-
cause they are one of the means of giving

They occupy clean, comfortable cab at the

fireman sits and watches the track ahead.
With no coal to shovel, he has practically
nothing else to do.
No Benefit To You
Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want
to use the diesel locomotive as a means of
forcing feather-bedding scheme on the rail-
roads, The extra men they propose to add to
the diesel crews are not needed. There is no
work for them.
The union leaders are fighting among them
selves about which union should furnish
these extra, needless men. The Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers have even threatened
astrike. You may not be interested in this dis
pute of these two unions, but you would be
vitality concerned if these groups succeed in
putting through this feather-bedding scheme,

While December is now the month
in which Christ's birthday is cele-
brated by Christians all over the
world, research and study show
that Christ's nativity has been cele-
brated in January, March. April,
May, September and October by
various peoples.
And although few people know it,
it was for the purpose of substitute
ing a Christian festival for pagan
ones of Romans and Druids that
celebrations of Christmas in Deem
Der were popuiarized.
No historian pretends to fix
the actual date of Christ's birth
or the date at which Christmas
became a general festival.
About all that is known is that
during the fourth century the feast
Of the Nativity was observed in all
western world churches at differ
ent dates.
The confusion resulting from cele.
brations in seven months of the
year caused the western church
authorities to meet in $40 to sci
a definite date for the celebration,
The eastern churches did not co.
operate until the sixth century when
December rs was set as the day tc
be Observed.
The question has arisen In
Vulnerable times as to why
December was selected nj the
month for rejoicing. The answer
is that this month was chosen
in order that a Christian fes-
tivai could compete with those
OF the pagans, because Decem-
Der was noted for its feasts
and holidays in nearly every
civilized land.
Greeks, Romans, Saxons and
Scandinavians all took part in the
celebration of these festivals which
had originated before the birth Of
Christ.
From the Saxons came the cere-
mony of burning the Yule log. The
Saxons burned great bonfires in
honor of their god Thor. From the
Romans came the giving of pres
ents, for this custom has been traced
to the Roman Saturnalia,
1t rlay seem strange to claim that
the pagan riotousness might be
the forebear of the Christian holiday
of goodness and love, but inter.
mingled with that which was obiec'
tionable. were things that have
gone straight to the hearts of peo.
pie throughout the Christian world
