She Rang For The Tang

The table was set to perfection.
China glistened. Silver cleaned.
Soup slowly steamed before each
guest.
The hostess glanced around the
table, frowned - then rang for the
tang. A bottle of Lea Il Perrins
Sauce appeared. Ali There was
the needed tang for the soup course.
IL should have been added before
the soup was poured. but half
teaspoon to each cup was not out
OF order even then, TO give that
piquant seasoning, tantalizing flavor
and aroma the hostess insisted on.
Yes, ladies'! That bottle Of wor.
cestershire can work wonders -
not only for soups, for but appetiz-
ers. vegetables, and meat dishes as
well. Keep II on the table at all

pepper.

It's A New Year At Dunbar

The new year has come in with
bang all over America, however
we feel safe in saying that Dunbar
is leading the rest of the world
with a new spirit. Why do | say
this? Alright here goes: Every
body is bubbling over with new in
terest, new energy and new pro-
duction. Even the old machinery
is being moved out and new work.
able machines are in. This is the
spirit of the new year. Being peo-
pie of some experience, however
we realize that resolutions and
new beginnings often made at the
beginning of the year or the be-
ginning of project, but it takes
courage, strength, and resource
fitness to keep from becoming old
on the job and Stacking up. Dun
bar has these qualifications lust
mentioned and we can see nothing
but our being able to push On to
a successful conclusion of our
school year.
Teachers who tried to overcome
obstacles last year and didn't are
going to retaekle the job this year.
Students who tried and failed last
year are going to try again. We be-
heve life is a game, and in it we
will find good and evil, we've got
to learn to suffer both and still
come out with the determination
to win. Dunbar has this determine
ton.
Mrs. Perry Speaks
Through the office of the Dean
of Girls much is being done to pro
mote the welfare and happiness of
the Dunbar High School and Jun
ior High School girl. Whenever
girls leave town with the basket
ball team, the band, or pep squad
they must have on file in this Of
flee PERMISSION from their par
ents for that particular trip. As
sponsor of the Girls Council the
Dean of Girls has the opportunity
to work closely with the girls Of
the school and to receive from
their representatives an insight as
to their desires and immediate
needs. The purpose of this office
is to help all girls to live happy
and satisfactory lives.
A Winning Streak In Debating
This school year has been a most
successful one for our Debating
Team. It makes our chests swell
with pride and our hearts over
flow with humble thankfulness to
know that Dunbar's team of Deba-
tiers hit a winning streak and never
lost an argument this year. Don't
you think this Is commendable?

PARIS. Feb. % lP). - An

known to thousands Of his coun-
trymens who have travelled in
France, is under arrest in Paris
on fraud charges.

old, and a big4time operator.
Rodgers bought and sold Amer
lean cars in France at one time
he had as many as 200 automo-
biles IN his garages. Scores of
American tourists had dealings
with him.
It was their complaints that
led to Rodgers arrest today in
Paris. Police said one of his
favorite. tricks was to obtain a
car from an American tourist
under the pretcxt he would find
a buyer for it, but instead of sell
ing the car, he'd rent it out at ten
dollars a day, putting the pro-
ceeds into his own pocket and
never paving the owner the full
sale price
Police say the complaints Of
alleged fraud add up to half a
million dollars.

Vas liz China
hen ssReds'
OUerthreaD
Government


There are two Key Westets in
the Island Siax today hase
names were On newspaper head
lines day after day during the
trying periods last year in China
when the Communists overthrow
the Nationalist government.
Randall and Dorothy Gould are
their names.
Gould is the former editor and
publisher Of the Shanghai, China
Evening Post and Mercury.
Gould was eighteen years with
that daily newspaper ia Shang
hal until forced to stop opera
|tions by the victorious Chinese
Red Army
The Reds took over Shang
hal on May Is. 1949, and the
Goulds left their adopted home
on Sept IS. Of that year.
Gould says that ii cost his
company 100000 to get him and
his wife out Of the country.
The Communist party, accord
ing to Gould, does not want
American capital and techni4
clans to leave the country All
they want to do Is to exploit
the Americans, not have them
depart from the country.
Colds American hackers made
the decision to close the news
paper plant, after Gould was be-
ing continually sbaited by his
help. He and his wife were locked
in the newspaper plant for three
days and two nights. while the
laboring mems request for more
wages was being discussed.
When decision to stop publ
cation was made, the Communists
were very indignant and tried
to get the Goulds to reconsider.
This is done for no love of Ameri-
cans or other foreigners, but
simply because the Reds have no
knowledge on capital to continue
operations.
Gould believes that the ordinary
man in China wants no part Of
Communism. And that the Nat
ionalist government fell because
of its own inactivity and lack Of
reform, rather than the strength
of its combatant.
What is Gould's opinion Of the
Nationalist?
They are a poor lot. The
| Nationalist soldiers were I'M
disciplined, and disorderly to an
extreme. The Communist Army,
BY comparison, were quite order
ly."
Gould has lived Is years in
Japan, China and the Philippines.
