SWEET Potato TINE

This is the season when the
freshly dug sweet potatoes appear
on the market. It's good to see
and eat-sweet potatoes at any
time, but we enjoy them more at
this season when they have been
missing from the markets for
some time.
Sweet potatoes can be added to
the list Of foods that refute the ar
gument, foods that are good for
yon don't taste good" One medium
sized sweet potato will provide
the days allowance of Vitamih A.
Nearly everyone likes this food
and the varieties in the methods of
preparation provide continuous in
terest in meal serving.
In baking a sweet potato, when
the potato is done, split the skin
and pinch the entire potato to al
low the steam to escape. This pre-
vents a sOggy potato. Boiling sug-
ar and water syrup is hotter than
boiling water. You can save time
in preparing candied sweet pOta-
toes by adding the pared raw sweet
potatoes to the syrup, eliminating
the usual bOiling-in-water step.
This quick process will often pre-
vent the potatoes turning dark.
Most of the sweet potatoes
bought in September and October
are not cured. Consequently they
will not keep as long as those of
late winter and early spring which
have been cured. Store all sweet
potatoes in cool dry place, but not
in a refrigerator. Plan to use them
before spoilage starts.
This is good time of year to
use sweet potatoes boiled, baked.
candied, as puff or as the ever
popular pie.

The safety of the household
against fire may be improved by
chemical treatments or coatings
which reduce the susceptibility to
ignition and the rate of burning Of
ordinary combustibles such as wood.
Clothing, curtains, and other tex.
tiles. However, it must be recog-
nized that no chemical treatment
or coating can make combustible
materials the equivalent of non.

sion program.
It is believed that most Of last
years Dover Bulldogs will be
available this season inasmuch as
most OF the Bulldogs are either
World War II veterans or other
wise ineligible for the draft. The
Bulldogs, who finished last in
1949-50 standing and also finished
deep in the red, may, however, ex-
perience difficulty in finding spOn-
sorship.
The RehobOth Lions finished the
1949-50 season in first place and
possibly would have most members
OF asst years pennant winning
sc I'd again available. Lewes A. A.,
4 finished third, may lose one
l0l more in the draft or through re-
call to service. Both Rehoboth and
Lewes have some players, who,
due to advancing years, may see
! limited service in another season.
One rumor circulating through the
doWnstate area has it that Lewes
and Rehoboth may combine forces
in event that each loses much play
er strength.

aite planning on the part of any

DR., Anne Cooke Refuses to Attend
Reception In Her Honor Because
OfCommunist Leaning

WASHINGTON (ANP)- The
mythical story of Tom Sawyer's
appearance at his own funeral
was demonstrated in complete re-
verse here last Saturday night
when the guest of honor failed to
appear at her own reception.
The occasion was a reception
given at the beautiful new home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Williams Hays
by thesdnterraciaE school in honor
of DR.. ANNE M. Cooke, director of
the Howard university players.
After the approximately 200
Nagio and white guests had milled

tedsglesfully with each other, par
toeksfxeely of the buffet delicacies
anlatasty fruit-punch, and listen
ed tosinapiring speeches by some
oAaWsshington's outstanding civic
leaders, the joviality of the even
ingswas suddenly quelled by the
reading of a telegram from DR..
Cooke which. stated why. she re-
fused to attend the reception.
In the message made public by
Mrs. Ethel Weichbrod,f chairman
of the ~Interracial Nursery School
board, DR.. Cooke expressed her
great interest in the theatre and
her hope to do nothing which
would in any way effect the prog

ress of this art. Therefore, she
said in effect, she thought it ad-
visable to refuse the invitation to
attend this reception due to the
change in status Of the sponsors.
The %Interracial Nursery school
which has been in continuous op-
CREATION for three years is spon-
sored by the Women's Auxiliary
of the United Public Workers, one
of the unions recently ousted
from the CLIO on the charge Of
following the Communist party
line.
Prior to it's split with the Go,
the UPW was the major union
functioning at Howard university
with a great number of it's
teachers, including DR.. Cooke, as
members.
The UPW nursery school is COM
posed of a three-member faculty
two of whom are Negroes. The
director of the school is Mrs.
Dorothy Brice who is assisted by
Mrs. Majorie Henderson and Mrs.
Mariana Majchrzk, the latter is
the only white faculty member.

approximately 80 students, about
half of whom are Negroes .
