Sweet and sour red cabbage:
One g pound head of red cab
bage cut rather coarsely, l large
apple, peeled and cored and cut
in eighths. "a cup brown sugar,
"a cup vinegar, teaspoon salt,
! teaspoon cinnamon.
Put all these ingredients into
q large pan with "a cup water
and bring to boil and just SIM
mer for two hours. The long, slow
cooking gives it the flavor. If
you prefer it a little sweeter you
can add more sugar. A pan with
o close-fitting top is preferred.
(From Mrs. r. p. Alexandria,
This is the way my grand
mother used to cook it. One tight
head red cabbage shredded finely,
2 cups boiling water. "a cup vine
gar or more, 8 tablespoons sugar
or more, l teaspoon salt, 2 table
spoons fat, either from roast pork,

Korean Crisis Brings
Worst Stock Market
Break in 10 Years
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. July 1.-Wave
after wave of selling smashed the
stock market this week for the
heaviest loss in ten years.
Not since May 1910, when Nazi
Germany was riding over West
ern Europe, has the market
plunged SO far and so fast.
This time it was war in minia-
ture that touched off the selling
but was that threatened to
spread across the world.
!. The United States finally de-
cided to draw a line in the Far
East beyond which communism
would not be permitted to spread
and the stock market responded
In dramatic fashion.
: Savage selling hacked roughly
$5.5 billion of the quoted value
OF all stocks listed on the ex-
change.
But it was not a one-way mar
ket. Time after time buying
blocked the slide for a while and
even sent prices rushing upward.
Not until Friday. though, did
the market make decisive stand
and then it was too late to do
anything but mend a minor part
of the damage.
In a spectacular reversal of
direction, prices surged ahead at
the opening Friday. The gains
were only partially maintained
until around noon when the
President gave his historic battle

order sending United States
ground troops into combat in
Korea. The Presidents. order re-
leased a flood of selling but the
market stood firm.
When brokers left Wall Street
Friday night they had the memory
of a rising market at the close
OF trading-and the hope that
the week end would produce no
news to cause another upset.
Monday the market took its
worst licking. The ticker tape
ran far behind transactions. Dur
ing the week the ticker was out
distanced time and again by the
intensity both of buying and SELL
ing, but mostly of selling.
Tuesday morning the selling
continued at full blast. Tuesday
afternoon a rally got rolling which
carried through Wednesday.
On Thursday prices cracked
again under series of three SELL
ing attacks. Friday the bulls took
charge once more and prices
moved up.
What caused the selling?
At first glance it seemed that
Korean hostilities were to blame.
Fear that the Korean fighting
might touch of the dreader con-
f1ice between East and West un-
doubtedly started the ball rolling.
AS prices weakened, as traders
watched their long-accumulated
profit go up in smoke, the SELL
ing gathered real power. As prices
continued to go down stop-loss
orders were automatically ex-
ecuted, adding their weight to
the general pressure.
There was apparently very little
coherent thinking about the
Korean situation among investors
and spectators. It was a public
tmarket-and a great deal of the
transactions were on a purely
emotional basis.

The near hurricane that Milford
and vicinity experienced last Sat
urday morning did much damage in
and around Milford. A chicken
house owned by E. F. Collins on
Shawnee Road was completely de-
mOlished by the storm. Mr.. Collins
said that the house, which was 1873
feet long and housed about 5000
chickens at the time of the acci-
dent, would cost $4,000 to replace.
Only one-half of the chickens were
saved, the rest died of exposure.
The freak storm reached it's cli-
max about 1880 a. m, and it was
at this time that the chicken house
was blown down. The irony of it
all is that the chickens had been
sold, and they were to have been
picked up by the Polin Poultry
Company at $3.50 that same morn
ing. AS it happened, the crew that
was to have caught them and truck
them OFF was waiting for the
storm to subside before beginning

work. After the storm there were
only 5000 live chickens to be car
ried away. The 5000 dead chickens
were hauled away by truck the
first of this week and Mr.. Collins
said that the trucks looked like
loads of hay.
While Mr. Collins chicken house
was being blown down and Mrs.
Dewey Bowen, who lives on a farm
across the road, was watching the
pieces fly, a COW shed on the Bowen
farm was blown apart. Mrs. Bow
