ROLLING PIE CRUST?
IRON CORDS?

FROM Mrs. T. L.. Washington J
I must admit I usually smile
when ! see request IN the RICH
beginning with SOS. but I GER
tainly feel like starting mine that
way. I no longer can roll out a
pie crust. Please tell me how 1t
is done without its breaking apart
in numerous pieces. After trying
several already mixed package pie
crusts, / for a time was able to
manage the crust named after a
woman. But even that won't work
for me now. II I mixed my own
would it ron out better? II so,
does any one have an especially
good recipe?
How do you good ironers iron
without getting all tangled up in
the cord or catching 1t on the
board? run into difficulty
whether my cord is attached high
or to the socket near the floor.
QUERIES?
From Mrs. F. G. D., ArlinotonJ
Could have some information
from those of you who own cop
per-bottom kitchenware or all
aluminium. I am interested in re-
placing my hit-and-miSS collec-
ton and can't decide between the
two.
Also, I would like to have Mrs.
w. M. F. who wrote in about the
plaid blankets write to me in care
of RICH as to where she purchased
hers.
May I also hear from those of
you who have ironers? With four
youngsters. I can't help but feel
that it would be a help. but
can't decide what kind would be
the more practical-portable or
standard?

CAMPING

fFT0m mrs. J. E. p, WdShtnot0H.j
For Mrs A. NJ. Takoma Park.
with reference to the practicability
of a chuck box to cut down eating
expenses on your projected trip:
Yes. we found that idea very prac-
tical and very money saving. On
a similar trip my husband. our g.
year-old son and I took in early
September of 1948. we did not go
any further into Canada than to
cross over from Windsor to Nj
agara Falls, but there was no diff
ficulty in purchasing the food we
needed along the way.
Get one of the little tripod hold
ers for the canned heat and get
plenty of cans Of canned heat 1--WE
sometimes found them scarce in
the small towns in upper New
York state). I found it took al
most full can to perk coffee for
10 minutes. My husband doesn't
care for instant coffee but if you
do. that or tea would be much
quicker to fix. experimental
with my pots and found that the
top half of my aluminium double
boiler, as we'll as the 2 cup perco-
lator, just fit over the holder for
the canned heat.
Lacking those I think a No. 21a
tin can is Just about right. How
ever. the top to the double boiler
with its cover was almost indis-
pensable for in it we heated can
ned items such as spaghetti, maca-
roni, saurkraut, franks. boiled
eggs, etc, for we also ate our eve
ming meal, in fact all our meals on
the road. that way. We bought a
quart of milk each morning and
used that on dry cereal and had
the boy drink the rest.
We did not try to carry any
fresh milk during the day. If a
milk drink was wanted, we opened
small can of evaporated milk
and added a little sugar and di-
luted it for drinking or else mixed
it with one of the instant cocoa
products. We used salad dressing
to spread on bread and did not
try to carry butter or margarine.
We also carried peanut butter,
jelly, relishes, canned sandwich
meat. cookies. etc. However,
while riding we seemed to have
more of desire for fresh fruit
than anything else and this Of
course was purchased along the
way.
When we make another trip,
certainly would plan to eat on the
road again. However, I think
want two burner gasoline stove
for cooking, because the canned
heat is rather slow and has a bit
of an odor. We found our water
boiled more quickly if the stove is
set in fairly closed spot-the
floor Of the trunk with the lid
closed but not shut tight, or the
back floor Of the car with the
windows closed as long as there is
no one in the car. Also make sure
the canned heat stove sets level,
using a stone to prop it up If
necessary. so as to eliminate the
fire hazard as much as possible.
Good luck to you on your trip
and Id love to be planning a
similar one myself.

FRESH FIGS?
lFrOm Mrs. D. A. E., Churchton. J
I have two small fig trees which
bear prolifically, but unfortunate
ly the figs have very little flavor,
and I have been unable to use
them.s I would like to eat them
fresh. but they are rather un-
pleasing to the taste that way. Is
there any way to improve them
such as drying in the sun or other
method? I pick them when they
are brown and the inside is pink.
hope some one who knows about
fresh figs will be able to help me

Argue Home Rule
For District

WASHINGTON CAMP The
Mount Pleasant Citizens associa-

Of one section Of Washington, vot-
ed against home rule Monday
night after listening to a debate
on the subject. Harry Stull, chair
man of the suffrance committee
of the Federation Of Citizens as
sociations spoke for the bill. Ed
ward F. Colladay, general counsel
for the Washington Board of
Trade and Former Republican
National Committeeman for the
District Of Columbia, attacked the
measure.
Colladay argued that there were
too many short term residents in
Washington. He said people would
come here for a year or two,
vote a big bond issue for some
improvement and then go back
home and leave Washingtonians
to pay for it. The real milk in the
cocoanut came out apparently
when Colladay asserted that he
for one had no fear Of colored
residents of the city dominating
it. That has been one of the argu-
ments against giving Washington

the police.
At the police station, where
Cynthia, Immediately dressed and

all the officers, she was asked her
name. Shetold them. She said her
mother was in Casa Grande and
pointed outthe direction where she
lived. She was asked if she knew
Ira O'Neil and Maxine Johnson
and she said yes. But no one be-
lieved her.
She was taken tothe juvenile
office where she remained until
closing time. She then went to the
juvenile home, where she found
her frantic dad, who had also been
looking for her.
Miss Camper verified the child's
story that her mother did teach
at Casa Grande and she knew Ira
and Maxine and that she was
looking for her daddy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Next

Even the experts are trying to
figure it out.
The Modern Language Associa-
ton closed its 65th annual con-
vention here yesterday with plans
for dictionary of modern Ameri-
can usage, designed to end gram
matical confusion.
Allan D. Hubbell, assistant pro-
fessor of English at the University
of Denver, said the dictionary
would be based on studies of writ
ings by newspaper editors. novel;
lists and other users of the
language.
Prof. Hubbell said colleges tend
to be flexible in English grammati-
cal rules. but not high schools. He
said most rigid and conservative of
all is the business secretary "whcse
boss is dependent on her to delouse
his English"
He said shall and "will", Gre

fretting is useless since the con-
traction, "'n", AS in he'll and

dictionary will take several years.

u. 5. Leaflets Charge Plot
To Kill 100 Million Chinese
By the Associoted Press

TOKYO, Dec. 30.-Allied planes
are Showering Chinese Commu-
mist and Red Korean troops in
Korea with counter propaganda
leaflets urging them to surrender.
One leaflet, pegged at Chinese
troops, says their government has
completed q secret treaty" with
Russia to reduce China's popu-
lation by 100 million persons. It's
text:
Already the Communists are
putting this evil scheme into
operation. Last spring they let
thousands of Chinese die in
floods and famine and refused
American offers of rice and
wheat to relieve the suffering.
'"Now they have sent you to
Korea so that you can be killed
in foreign war. Is this all part
of their secret plot to eliminate
one out of every four Chinese?"

defense funds. This time the
amount was $18 billion dollars.
Changes had to be made in our
European and our domestic plans.
The battle-trained officers and
men who had been scheduled for
return to this country to be cadres
for the general mobilization had
to stay IN Korea. Much lost and
destroyed equipment had to be
replaced. Stockpiles had to be
rebuilt.
Throughout the period from
June Is to the present there have
been several important changes in
the original document No. 68, and
the co-ordinated programs which
support it.
The statement of policies and
objectives may have to be changed
further as events require. The
supporting programs will certainly
be changed in light of conditions
here and abroad.
Calculated Risk Taken.
Most of the criticism directed
against the White House and the
State and Defense Departments
is that they did not foresee that
the Kremlin was actually going
to use armed Chinese forces in
Korea. That contingency was
foreseen and preparations to meet
it were started, but the calculated
risk was taken. If we had kept
out military forces, even two or
three divisions. in South Korea,
the Communists might still have
attacked there. Had they not at
tackled there, the aggression might
have come in a place just as
important which had no American
forces, such as Indo-China, the
Middle East, Yugoslavia or Ger
many.
1t is easy to say that we were
caught unprepared. The story of
No. So is proof that we had the
vital plans for the immediate
and long-range future and that
they are In effect now. They were
not improvised as the result Of
