Many of the sad and ludicrous

IRONERS

1HONEhO.
From Mrs. E. B. M, W1Shington.)
I have not seen a reply to
A. j. D.. Alexandria. who asked
where to obtain an 8x12-inch cal
endar, all on one page. I believe
he refers to the Phillips Brooks
calendar. which IIbuy each year at
a stationery store on the north
side OF the 1400 block of F street
NV. There is a separate page
for each month. with room for
notes at each date.
To Mrs. S. c., Martinsburg, w.
Va, who requested brownies using
sweetened condensed milk. I offer
the following:
Graham cracker brownies: One
can sweetened condensed milk, 20
graham crackers, rolled fine, 70
cup raisins. 70 cup nuts, chopped;
"a teaspoon salt. l teaspoon va
nilla. l package chocolate bits.
Combine and mix thoroughly.
Bake in creased pan in 350-degree
oven about 80 minutes or until
done. Cut in squares.
To Mrs. D. A. E., Churchton :
Ripe figs are very good cut in
pieces and eaten with sugar and
cream. I doubt that should
like to eat them otherwise. They
should not be too solid to the
touch If they are ripe.
To Mrs. T. L., who also COM
planned of trouble with the IRON
ing cord: I wonder if her ironing
board should be moved. For right
handed ironing, I find that the
board should be to the left and
in front of the wall socket
For Mrs. F. G. D., who asked
about ironers: I have a standard
one. the type open at both ends
and with a platform in front.
doubt that I should prefer any
other, but would not attempt to
do children's dresses on it as they
have SO much detail, so many
gathers, etc. I have done shirts
on it. but as I rather like to do
them by hand, I no longer use the
ironer for them. Also, 1 prefer
doing large tablecloths by hand as
they become mussed as they fall
back Of the roller. but then I love
to iron linens. anyway.

MUIBERRIES.
From Mrs. McC.. Washington

From Mrs. Nee, Washington
hope I am not too late for
you to try cooking mulberries
while they are red just before
they turn black. The ripper ones
can be cooked with rhubarb which
makes a very tasty dish.
There are various varieties of
mulberrieS and a little expert
menting will tell you if you have
the right kind for the above men
toned. have even canned them
with the rhubarb and they tasted
good in the winter. Here is wish
ing you luck.
From Mrs. J. B. D., Arlington.)
To Mrs. L. B., indeed you can
make delicious jam from both
mulberries and blackberries. it is
in knowing how. You simply cook
them till soft, unless very ripe,
then measure cup for cup. with
sugar and proceed in the usual
way in preserving. They are black
and very delicious if cooked care
fully till they jell or by using
good brand of fruit pectin. I have
made them for many years.
From Mrs. E. C. H., Brent,DoodJ
I agree with Mrs. L. B. that
mulberrieS are to be eaten raw
only and when a kid I ate my
weight in them. Though surely
she never heard of blackberry
cobbler or pie. especially the cob
bier is grand and jelly and jam
from blackberries are good too.
(Fron, Mrs. L. B., WdShingtonJ
Correction: An error was made
in The Star of June Z. You state
that blackberries are of no use,
and that they are only good for
the birds to eat. 1t should have
been Hackberries, no blackberries.
From Mrs. A. E. S., WaShingtonJ
I wish to disagree with Mrs. l..
B. regarding mulberries. My sister
made some of the most delicious
jelly from the juice. 1t tasted a
lot like raspberry jelly. And black
berries make wonderful jelly too.
My mother makes it every year.
If the lady would like a jelly
recipe, I would write my mother
for it.

to your figure, here's how to find
out with no trouble at all:
Take piece of fairly stiff white
paper about nine by twelve inches
in size. Fold one corner back
about four inches, so you have an
irregularly = shaped, four sided
sheet with no edge the same
length.
Now. place the longest edge tthe
one you folded around your waist
at one side. Next place it jutting
out from the side of your neck
Next, let the folded edge fall from
the center of your shoulder at the
center of your chest. Last, try it
as a peplum across the back of
your hips.
In which positions did it add
to the beauty of your figure?
Those are the places where you
can wear this fascinating line at
tractiveiy.
When it comes to merging any
fashion with your figure, one and

Take a long, cool look at your fig
ure and an equally analytical
glance at the fashion, and you'll
always be able to blend them into
one beautiful and charming
whole!

Seeing the picture of the tar

mind an experience of last sum-

JUNEAU - Thirteen Alaska Na- tional Forest homesites have been made available for patent under the applicable public-land laws through the signing of Public Land Order 620 December 9, 1949. ac- cording to information received in the Juneau office of Regional For ester B. Frank Heintzleman. One homesite is located close to Cor doya. one at Sitka, one at Auke Bay near Juneau, and nine on the Tongass Highway near Ketchikan.
 The homesite eliminated in the Petersburg Division of the Tongass National Forest was that of Vel helm Jordan of Wrangell
 The elimination of the above tracts from the National Forests is the first step leading towards pat ent. The regional forester points out that hundreds of homesites have been eliminated from the Ma tAOlhi 1T Oi Got5 oA4lIG llle nOuGSltt law became effective and that hun dreds are now occupied under For est Service permit The latter will become eligible for elimination aft .er three years residence on the area.
 The Forest Service has spent thousands of dollars from it's funds in building spur roads to open up new groups of homesites for bona fide settlers along the forest high ways and other sections adjacent to the various communities. These groups are laid out in advance of demand. A good many vacant home site lots are still available, the re-. gional forester said

 AGREE ON WITHDRAWALS

JUNEAU-Clarence J. Rhode, re gional director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, this week assured sportsmen that better understand ing of their concern over land withdrawals had been reached with the commander in chief of the Alaskan command.
 General Twining is a sportsman himself" Rhode said, "and was completely sympathic with the Al askan viewpoint when I told him that many areas containing valu- able wildlife were being denied to Alaskans. These and other wildlife areas, the general believes, should be made available to all persons, and can be at the same time that his troops are allowed sports recre- ation."
 It. Gen. Nathan F. Twining was contacted by Rhode after requests for information and protests had been presented to the Fish and Wildlife Service regarding several proposals by the military to with draw sizeable areas for recreational purposes.

Outlook Good for 1850,
 Development Board Says

JUNEAU - Alaskans can look forward in the New Year to suo- stantial increases in almost all mes or endeayor, it is indicated by la year-end review by the Alaska Development Board of business and industrial activities throughout the territory during 1y49.
 Efforts looking toward the estaD- Iishment of large basic industry, well advanced in I94Y, should Drlng their first tangible results in lsoo, the Development Board predicted.
 Several of the nations maJor manufacturing concerns turn q their attention to Alaska in the past year and are studying plans to install in the territory entirely new industrial lines including elec- trochemicaI, electro metallurgical and similar type plants, pup mills, bulk cement facilities and other en- ,erprises utilizing iron ore and marble.
 Industries utilizing three of Alaska natural resources - min eral, forestry and fishery products were estimated to have produced almost 13O million dollars in new wealth during 1949. While that Iligure is slightly under the value of production for 194S, a larger percentage Of the wealth produced went to resident Alaskans.
 The value of the 1949 salmon pack, for example, was estimated It about 10 million dollars under the l54S mark of 96 million dollars, al though the total Alaska pack was up 100000 odd cases, the South east pack recording 95 per cent increase. These figures reflect sub stantial increases in the number of resident Alaskans employed as cannery workers and other phases of the industry, as we'll as great CT financial returns for Alaska fish ermen.
 Timber production for the year was estimated at million dollars, the annual cut amounting to more than 52 million f. b. m. This rep resents reduction of about mil lion f.b.m. under the previous year,

67,OOO TOURISTS

With approximately 67,0O0 per sons visiting the territory during the summer of 1949, new highs were recorded in the tourist indus try. Total expenditures, including transportation, were estimated at more than 25 million dollars. Fur ther increases in summer travel to Alaska for 1850 are anticipated.
 Important steps toward alleyiat- Alaskas critical housing shortage were taken at the years end with the announcement that more than 20 million dollars in new housing had either been approved or was pending by FILA.
 As an evidence of business ac- tivIty, the Bureau of Internal Reve- nue reported that corporation and profits taxes collected in Alaska during fiscal 1949 totaled $1,473,- 655.05, an 1S.2 per cent increase over fiscal 194S. Individual income taxes collected in the territory, al though showing a AS per cent drop, amounted to $14,206,488.4O Percentage-wise the decrease was greater in 45 states in the conti- mental U. 5. than in Alaska.
 Increased interest. in the terri tory by individuals, business con cerns and large industries was re- flected in the large number of in- quiries received by the Alaska De- velopment Board. There were more than 5000 requests from individ- uals wanting information about the territory as a place to visit, work or live. In addition, the board dis tributed more than 10000 Seeing Alaska folders to persons wanting travel information. Requests now on hand for this folder for 1850 more than triple that figure.
