that, before it is too late. they must

less tenant has reduced them to a

1t is time to tell the truth about
public housing. Public housing
eliminates slums. The two go hand
in hand in wiping out human suf-
ferng and opens the door to self re-
spect.
No slum clearance program can
be effective unless it provides for
the re-housing Of families displaced
from slum sites. Public housing is
the only means Of accommodating
families who are displaced Of s1ums.
1t is an axiom that public hous-
ing admits families only in the low
ford to pay for decent private hous-
ing.
Under the private enterprise for
mula, there is no doubt that it can
not accommodate those who are un-
able to pay more than the stipulat-
ed rent provided by federal housing
regulations.
The profit motive automatically
excludes families whose income can
not meet a rental pegged beyond
economic reach.
1t is a matter Of record that pri.
vate enterprise does not provide de-
cent housing for low-income fami.
lies.
In a period Of high housing cost,
such as the present, it becomes par
ticularly evident that the low in
come group is barred from the
housing market because they cannot
afford to pay the prices of the hous-
ing being produced by private en-
terprise.
And it is also a matter of record,
as evidenced in the downtown Ne
gro section, that private enterprise
entrusted to meet the needs Of its
citizens has failed in its civic duty.
The mere existence Of dlapidated
structures is evidence that private
enterprise is unable to provide an
adequate supply of decent low cost
housing for the American families
of our community.

Strike Settled At
Sunshine Biscuit

Something unusual in the way OF
strike settlement was arrived at
last Saturday when ten striking
employees of the Sunshine Biscuit
Company, of Phoenix, offered an
acceptable settlement.
The men, all members of Team
sters, 104, had been out since No
vember 16, last year, and part OF
the settlement was two and a
half cent increase, retroactive to
September 1, 1949. An additional
amount-making five cents in all
was to be paid, in full and in cash,
to each employee to cover the re-
mainder of the contract year.
In short, there was a five cent
raise, all of it payable Immediately,
some on time put in and some on
time still to be worked.
Improved working conditions
were also written into the present
contract as one of the points of
settlement.
The payment Of an increase "in
advance" is something entirely new
in strike settlements.

Cookies Corner
BY MARGUERITE HUNTER

Some two hundred years ago, a
kind, neighborly soul by tie name
of Jonathan Chapman went about
sowing good will and apple seeds.
Today we speak of him as Johnny
Appleseed." Since that time apples
have been the foundation for the
majority of American desserts, and
in poll after poll apple pie heads
the list. There are so many des-
serts that may consist of, or con-
tain apples that cook with ina
gination has unlimited opportunity
for invention.
One of my favorites is a very
economical little dessert called
Apple Betty. The following recipe
will serve four.
3 Cups sliced apples
1 Cup of soft white bread, broken
into small pieces, or cut into
small fingers
3 or 4 tablespoons butter
Three-fourthS cup sugar
1 Teaspoon grated nutmeg, or one
fourth teaspoon cloves
One-half cup water
One fourth teaspoon salt
Place in buttered pudding dish,
or deep-pie dish, one layer of sliced
apples; then a layer of broken
bread or fingers. Sprinkle with
sugar and just a little nutmeg or
cloves (your choice); then put little
dabs of butter all over the layers.
Repeat in the same order, one lay
er on top of another, until the dish
is full Add salt to the water and
pour over all. Bake in moderate
oven (about $50 degrees), As to SO
minutes. The bread should be
nicely Drowned on top.
Another good ,flavorful, but in
expensive dessert, is apples baked
with little red cinnamon candies.
After coring the apples, I usually
punch little holes around the ap-
pies to allow the steam to escape
and to help retain the shape of the
fruit. Pour 3 or 4 tablespoons of
sugar in the hole of each apple and
place a few cinnamon candies on
top. A few may be dropped in the
sugared water the apples are baked
in. Bake about 400 degrees.

After years of capturing the
hearts of American women, veteran
movie star Ronald Colman will turn
to guiding the mental bents of their
progeny when he is introduced to
the radio public as president of
Ivy College, on the Friday, Jan. 6,
premiere of "The Halls of Ivy"
over NBC.. Accompanying him in
his scholastic activities will be his
wife, Bonita, who will essay the
same relationship on the comedy
program, on which the duo is billed
as "Dr. William Todhunter Hall"
and "Victoria Hail."
Long an outstanding star Of
stage and screen, Colman has pre-.
viously limited his radio stints to
a few sporadic guest appearances.
However. it was series of these
guest shots on Jack Benny's show
that re-acquainted Colman with the
oldsters, introduced him to the
youngsters and brought a flood of
offers from sponsors. Colman said.
"No"-until he met the character
of "Dr. Hail." Listeners will meet
the Halls when they are taken into
the home of college president and
his wife to hear the laughs and
heartaches that occur when the
wife, an ex-musical comedy star,
decides to teach the students tap
. dancing and other Of her theatrical
accomplishments, much to the con-
sternation of the Board of Gov

What Is A Temporary Government

sad "The witnesses couldn't think of any-except fight
ing In all other the government when it starts
spending money so-called emergency, keeps right

Here is of the why in spite of incredibly
large Federal and backbreaking taxes
still running deficit AS the Hoover committee reports
pointed out factually and in DETAIL the government is
literally honeycombed with duplicating overlapping and
unnecessary bureaus. Dozens of agencieseach with it's
own expensive staffs and all the other paraphenaa of
bureaucracyare working in almost identical fields The
Hoover reports indicate that cut the cost OF the
government at least $3OO0,OOO0O0 without harm
ing any essential function in way. Some believe the
saving could be much greater.
Every department head cries to high heaven when it
is suggested that his appropriation be moderately
reduced Civic organizations and local business

that cut be made in activity that would benefit
them at the expense of the rest of Only change in
this sorry attitude bring about economical efficient
