this book on the life Of the first

When in 1947 Hickey brought
Robinson up from Montreal To
Brooklyn (as he had intended to
do all along) there were several
questions he had to consider
would the fans accept the Negro?
How would the rest of the teams
feel about him? Would the other
Brooklyn players go along in the
experiment? Robinson, a gradu-

of many of the fans and some of
the players he said nothing. He
went about his own way of earn

this sort of boy cannot acquire

Some fathers are unhappy be-

sports. They would love to see
them on a football field making
a touchdown. If the boy feels
that way, well and good; but if
he doesn't, well and good, too.
The father ought not to feel dis

construction worker of some sort

COMMENT.

From Mrs. M. c., Arlington.l
Although have obtained many
worthy suggestions on various
subjects from the RICH in the
past, recent letters regarding econ
omies in household matters have
interested me more than all
others. Because metropolitan
Washington and its suburbs are
white collar towns where hus-
bands and fathers are mostly
salaried whether Government or
privately employed), the question
| is of more universal concern here
than in areas which are organized
to be more vocal.
My admonition to myself for
some time has been nothing is a
bargain unless you need it," but
the point has been reached now
where many things are definitely
needed but cannot be bought on
present income. In short, I find
that doing everything myself.
going without things, making
substitutionS, ETC., are not SUI
f1cent. 1t is like trying to stop the
leak in the dixie with your finger
it is a good substitute until you
can get help, but more drastic
measures are required to effect
real repair job. Continually
rising wages is not the answer. as
the last few years have proved.
| I do not think price controls are
the answer, remembering the evils
of previous controls (the result
black markets which produced
further shortages on the leglti-
mate MARKET.
My own opinion is that the
middle-class is being squeezed
out of existence mainly because
| it has no opportunity to be heard.
It is being squeezed between the
vociferous farm and labor groups
who have their paid publicists and
lobbyists. Vast numbers OF other
loyal Americans, without these
paid facilities to attract mass at
traction, have become the present.
day forgotten man"
What is the most feasible
methods of remedying this situa-
ton? My own suggestion is for the
American housewife to let her
views be aired publicly whenever
and wherever she can, but mainly
| in the good old American way,
that is, to her elected Representa-
tives in Congress: It matters not
to which party you adhere, or
what your own opinions are. Let's
go girls. Remember that slogan

MILK PROBLEM.

From Mrs. J. H. H., Arlington.J
I have received many valuable
suggestions from this column and
now I would like to pass on one
which is timely.
I learned not long ago that
skim milk powder can be pur-
chased at grocery stores. 1t comes
in one-pound packages and makes
: five quarts of milk.
It is easy to prepare. All you
do is mix the powder with luke
warm water, and presto, you have
your milk for cooking and baking.
1t is good for drinking purposes,
also for adults who do not need
the cream, as the fat has been
taken out of the powder.
After it is mixed, it is kept in
the refrigerator like any other
milk. 1t is very convenient to
: use as it can be made ready for
any cooking emergency and the
. cost is less than one-third the
f. cost of whole bottled milk.
Some of my friends who are
: using it say they have cut their
. milk costs in half by using this
: for cooking purposes.
