RECIPES WANTED.


lFron, Mrs. E. B. M, Washington y
Would appreciate recipes fol-
watermelon preserves (not pickles.
and ways to make summer squash
and crookneck squash appetizine
to a husband who doesn't care
for them just cooked and buttered
Also. I'd like eggplant recipes
other than the favorite methoc
of slicing thin, rolling in egg anc
cracker crumbs, and frying
Good with maple sprupD Nc
recipes calling for tomatoes can
be used, however. Can parsnips
and okra be made tasty? College
dormitory cooking made them dis
tasteful and I've hesitated to try
them since.
POEM ABOUT FOX?
(Fron9 Mrs. S. c., Arlingto1lJ
Would some good reader be kind
enough to give me the balance of
the poem $50 much loved by small
children) which goes thusly:
There was an old fox that lived down in
At the root Of . huge old tree,
And of all the old foxes that ever was
born,
There was none so sly as he.
His step was soft with his padded feet
And sharp we're his claws beneath.
And sharp were his ears, and sharp were
his eyes.
And sharp were his terrible teeth.
BEAN SPROUTS.
(Fron Mrs. M. X. c.,
Takon,d Park)
If Mrs. w. Go, Washington,
will write to me through the

 SCIENTIFIC VIEW
 IN BIBLE LECTURES

A series of. prophetic lectures on the books of Daniel and the Revel- ation will be given by the Rev. H. E. Beyer in special one-week meeting commencing Sunday, Aug 28 at 7:45 pm. in the First Church of God, which holds services in the IOOF Hall.
 This series of eight illustrated lectures are the result of many years research on a subject which has been a source of unusual in- terest to Bible students.
 Rules of interpretation will be explained at the beginning of the series and will be consistently fol- lowed throughout so that those at tending the series will not only hear the assertions of the speaker but will clearly see how the con- clusion was reached.
 Using this scientific approach to Biblical interpretation, said Rev. Beyer, the audience will be ex- pected to reject any explanations that are not clearly demonstrated to be actual fact"
 The public is cordially invited to attend and is reminded that the lecture program begins at 7:45 clock each evening.

that they can always turn to
the people, and that the day
of reckoning will roll around
with election time. But in the
case of these Islands, the Gov
ernor not being elected, must
be reached only through the
President, and a befogged
realization Of that fact can
create situations which are as
unpleasant as they are un-
necessary.
WE appeal to the President
that in making his selection
he thinks primarily of the
needs of these Islands, and fit
his appointee in the light of
these needs, minimizing poll

OUT OF POLITICS

WE LOOK FORWARD to the day when the Governor
ship OF the Virgin Islands will no longer be a pawn in the
hands OF national political parties, and that when appoint
mentS are made they will be on the basis of ability and sin
cerity. It is difficult to get across to official Washington and
the American public on the whole that the Covernorship of
these Islands is no average job; that Just any candidate whose
political appetite needs to be whetted will not fill the bill
There is a real task here to be performed, one which requires
vision, understanding, the ability and desire to work cease
lesIy for the cause, the benefits of which may not be visible
within any one lifetime. In cycling the post, those whose as
piatons run high should give most serious thought and con
sideration to all angles of it.
ALREADY MADE public is the attitude of a group of
Philadelphia lawyers who are displeased with the appointment
of Governor HASTE, as an outsider, the feeling being that one
of their number should have been appointed a District Judge.
Then came the news, though not official, that an attempt to
soothe certain sore spots, one of that number, Raymond Pace
Alexander, would be named Governor. A stranger to these
Islands, our people and ways, this possible candidate (even
remote as his candidacy may be) should wonder how well he
fills the bill. He is a distinguished and nationally known law
yer, but whether he will be able to withstand the rough 90
ing which all chief executives have had to take is another
matter. Here is need for understanding the basic problems,
economic social and political, and the attitude of our people
towards these problems, and regardless of all the quahfica-
tionS, unless the Governor, whoever he might be, sees right
through the core, his efforts may be most ineffective. 1t is
for these reasons, and they apply to all candidates, that we
hope to see selection totally removed from politics. But that
is far cry.
REALIZING THAT we must face the political question,
the next best step is to call to Washington's attention the need
for selection on the other basis. The Governorship of these
Islands is a veritable headache. For one thing there is always
the need to balance the budget, an annual problem. Then
there is the need to meet the several legislatures on a footing
which satisfies their concept of requirement. In an ordinary
political situation, the representatives of the people know

Mayor Of Berlin Says
Russians Fail 10 Win

The conviction that the Rus
slams have made little prograss
toward winning Germans to their
way of life was expressed here
yesterday by Ernest Reuter-, Lord
Mayor of Berlin.
The visiting Mayor told an audi
ence at the National Press Club
that not more than 4 per cent OF
the Germans in the Soviet zone
would vote the Communist ticket

at the polls. despite the national

favorable contrast for propaganda

Asked about the political in
clinations of the German youth,
Mayor Reuter- said young people
in Berlin are disillusioned both
with Nazi and Soviet concepts.
"They are skeptical. and their
roots with the past have been cut. "
he said. Like young people in
many parts OF Europe. they must
be shown that the ideal of a
united Europe is a practical posi-
bility."
He added that even the skeptics
have complete faith that the
United States and England will
maintain the airlift until the Rus
slams agree to abide by their
agreement with their former
Allies.
The Mayor reiterated that Ber-
liners have no nationalistic quar-
rel with the Russians but are de-
termined to stand up for thei,
freedom against the pressure of
military regime.
