ssia
For Ensign Brown
Almost Succeeded.

Stars and Stripes Army news
paper has reported the Korean
war story of the loss on Sept "a
of Ems. William E. Brown, Hazel-
ton Pa, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William P Brown, former Lon
don residents. rY
Ensign Brown is a grandson OF
Edmund Taylor and nephew of
Mrs. Henry Beathard and Joe
Brown all of London. f 50
One of the search pilots told of
the attempted rescue. With other
pilots, he flew fighter cover over
Ensign Brown until darkness
brought an end of their efforts
to save him from the Communists.
Ensign Brown is listed by the
Navy as missing in action, but
naval authorities are said to have
hopes that he will be found and
liberated by the fast advancing
United Nations forces.
Hit by Flax
One pilot said that Browns
Corsair was struck by Communist
anti-aircraft fire while flying on
a strike ahead of the Marine
forces. Brown crash landed in. q
North Korean rice paddy, climbed
out of his plane and made his
way safely to the top of a near
by hill. There he signaled with
a mirror that he was uninjured.
AS the aviators kept watch over
head request for assistance was
made to Kimpo airport and in re-.
sponsc helicopter was dispatch
ed to attempt the rescue of En-
sign Brown.
The helicopter was only 20 feet
above Brown when it was hit
by enemy fire, apparently by a
concealed battery.
The helicopter pilot reported
that his gasoline tank had been
hit and that gasoline was pouring
out all over his plane.
Brown signaled for the helicop-
ter to get out of the area. The pilot
pulled his craft up and barely
made it back across the linA
when the ruptured gas tank we.ft
dry and he crashed into the Han
river. @at
The Navy fighter plane pilots
kept diving and strafing the
enemy until darkness made fur
ther efforts of rescue by helicop-
ter impossible.
Search Area
Throughout the night fighter
planes circled the area in an effort
to safeguard Brown but as day
broke the next morning in a grey
overcast, Brown was no longer to
be seen.
The pilots who had rested and
refueled overnight at Kimpo air
field spent the day trying to To-
cate some sign of him.
Ensign Browns plane had been
camouflaged by North Koreans
during the night but it bus,ied
after being strafed by one of
the search planes.

"a Town
BOOM!

This is a story about the
operation of an oil heater.
Friend of mine explained
that an oil heater tends to
blow up if there is not suf-
ficient draft.
Said he, IF the stack at
tached to the heater isn't
high enough pressure will
build up and eventually put
out the flame. After the
flame goes out the heat in
the stove will cause flash
back which will set off a mild
explosion within the heater"
my friends story was most
convincing and it left no doubt
in my mind that such a thing
could happen. Now, / left my
friend for about a half an
hour and when / returned
the door of the heater had
holes in it and the damper
was blown off.
What happened?" ! asked.
Said my friend =. well, I
fired her up and she blew
just like l said she would if
the stack wasn't high enough
which it Wasn't!!" BA-
LOOM!!

You wonder how soon your

about buying that new coat
you talked her out of last

To Wash Greens

A DISHPAN and colander team
up to make easier work of washing
green's such as leaf lettuce and spin
ach. Set the dishpan in the sink and
the co1ander on the drain.
Fill dishpan with cool water. Trim
the leaves and place in the dishpan.
Agitate gently with the hands to re-
move sand and dirt, then lift the
leaves out of the water and place
them in the colander.
Empty the dishpan and fill with
clean water. Put the leaves into the
water for a second washing. Then
lift the clean leaves into the colander
and allow to drain before storing for
use in cooking or salad making.

some things awfuhy well and things
he did not like he never ate.
The aunt told him he apparently
did not have healthy appetite He
probably needed the bread and milk
diet which she always prescribed for
anyone who was not well. All the
food, she told him, which they
served for meals was planned for
healthy people. She did not argue
nor enlarge on the matter and the
boy looked puzzled.
Next morning a bowl was set be-
fore him, pitcher of milk and sew
eral slices of bread. No one seemed
to notice him. No comments were
made. No food was passed to him.
At first he resented the situation but
because no one paid any attention to
him he finally ate what was before
him. Needless to say, thereafter he
ate what was on the table as the
rest did.
Coercion or punishment do not
seem to solve the problem. But
either taking the child's mind off
the phobia which persists for some
unknown reason, usually just want
in attention, or. if older, making
him realize that he is not a regular
person like the others when he de-
mands special service, sometimes
does the trick.

POPCORN PUDDING

Request from Mrs. ". E. w, Gar
field county.
Popcorn pudding: cups of pop
corn will be required. It should be
finely rolled or run through a food
chopper, then moistened with cups
of hot milk and permitted to stand
for an hour. Add 8 beaten eggs, 81
of cup of sugar, a generous table
spoon of melted butter, scant tea
spoon of salt and whatever flavor

and bake slowly until firm. Serve
hot with hard sauce, maple syrup or

Here is a recipe that can be worked
up in 10 minutes out of nearly moth
ing and the results will be tasty,
tempting and gratifying.
Quick bread: 1t is necessary to
have at least pound of lard on hand
for frying but over half of it will be
left over. Heat lard or shortening in
a small frying pan while you mix the
dough as follows: 2 cups flour, tea
spoons baking powder Qevel meas
urements), 2 tablespoons sugar, just
a pinch of salt, small amount of
grated nutmeg if desired. Mix dry
ingredients and add "a cup milk or a
little canned milk thinned with wa
ter, / teaspoon vanilla or other fla
voring may be substituted for nut
meg. Stir together; dough should be
thick. Roll out like doughnuts on
floured paper or board. Cut in strips
and crosswise to or 3-ineh oblongs.
Be sure to puncture each oblong with
tip of knife to insure cooking
through. Lastly, drop into the hot
grease. Set grease back if it gets
too hot. You'll have dozen or two
delicious bread substitutes. The chill
dren will love to assist in some way.
If you desire more, use as many
cups of flour as you like. To each cup
add teaspoon baking powder and
tablespoon sugar and other things in
proportion. You can put sugar or
powdered sugar in paper bag, drop
in several of the oblongs, shake bag
to quickly sugar. This is not neces-
sary as they are very good plain.
Then add an apple or potato salad
or milk, or few slices of meat to
increase the food value, but you
won't need butter.-Mrs. r. S. NJ.

CHEST CONTRIBUTION BUYS SEVEN SERVICES FOR VALLEY BOY SCOUTS

The seven essential services outlined above are provided by the Alaska Council of Boy Scouts. That council is run by an execu- tive council of 36 men. Walter Huntley of Palmer is member of that council, which draws up, among its other duties, the annual budget for Scouting.
 The executive board hires five professionally trained Scout ex- ecutives to give these services to all Scout units. One of these trained executives is located at Anchorage, and makes frequent field trips to Palmer to assist local leaders.
 In Palmer, there is Cub Pack, sponsored by the P-TA, with a membership of more than 30 boys between the ages of eight and 10. Hugh Johnson is Cub master and Allan Mick is his assistant.

Not q Federal Problem

In moving to end Federal rent control by
June 80, the Senate Appropriations Committee
was motivated by the sound conclusion that this
has ceased to be Federal problem.
1t is true that the President has asked for
another year of Federal control. And it is also
true that in some localities there is need for
continued regulation of rents. But this need
can and should be met by local action.
The 1949 rent control law set out procedures
under which the States and their political sub
divisions could free themselves from Federal
control Many have done so. Some $50 areas,
with about II million rental units still under
Federal control. Some of these areas, as in the
case of New York State, have standby controls
of their own which become effective when Fed
eral control ends. In other areas, where COM
parable local controls are lacking, the ending Of
Federal controls can be expected to work some
hardship.
But this is not an argument for indefinite
continuance of Federal regulation. Rent control
wartime measure, designed to meet an
emergency national need The war has been
over for nearly five years, and it is time for the
Federal Government to step out of this picture.
The yearly demand upon Congress for renewal
of rent regulation shows, however, that the
Federal Government will not let go of this power
until Congress compels it to do so.

Too Many Appeals

Budget Officer Walter Fowler is right in
warning that the multiplicity of charitable
appeals is threatening to undermine the Com
munity Chest.
He has reported to the Commissioners that
within the past six months District employees
have been solicited for contributions to nine
campaigns, in addition to the Chest. 1t is not
surprising to hear, as Mr.. Fowler puts it, that
there is considerable dissatisfaction" among
the employees and that some department heads
are complaining of time lost in these campaigns
and the incidental record-keeping and reporting.
The Community Chest was organized, and
has been supported on the proposition that it
would merge all worthy local appeals into one
appeal The people were told they could dis
charge all of their charitable obligations through
one donation to the Chest. But it is not working
out that way. More and more agencies, either
because they cannot qualify under the Chest or
because they think they can do better by staying
out, are making individual appeals. Unless some
way to correct this condition can be found, there
is real danger that all charitable enterprises
will suffer.
