BLACK BUG.
(From NJ. L. M, LeesburgJ

(FrOm M. L.. NJ. :, LeeSburgJ
To Mrs. r. w., I know just what
you mean when you speak of a
black bug taking over your prem
ises. I had the same trouble.
live in an old apartment house
and had not been troubled with
them until this spring, when sud-
denly they appeared from no
where, apparently they originated
in the garbage disposal in my
case.
I am free of them now and all
I did was to use an insecto powder
beginning with G. I used it ac-
cording to directions on the can
and after three applications the
bugs just died and the rest disap-
peared. I have also been told
that a roach spray with the in
itials N. r. is very effective. I hope
this will work as well for you as
it did for me. I was almost fran
tic and could see bugs even in my
sleep. So good luck to you. I am
r. N. and used to chasing all
sorts of bugs, but these almost got
me down.

DYEING MATERIAL?
(From Mrs. w. E. D., Washington
I would like to know if any one
has had success in dyeing ma
terial in any of the automatic
washing machines, specifically in
the machine starting with B and
ending with x. Does one have
to use boiling water or is the hot
water used ordinarily all right?
I would certainly appreciate
knowing method used.

CHOCOLATE FROSTING.

chocolate froSting: Three
squares of unsweetened chocolate
or about 3 good tablespoons cocoa
Il use cocoa, two three cups of
Ak sugar, l egg whole, 4 table,
spoons Softened butter, add l
tablespoon of milk until right to
spread, beat with egg beater or
mixer.
also use this recipe for orange,
leaving out cocoa of course and
using orange Juice instead of
milk, also few drops of orange
f1avoring. This makes a thin crust
on outside of frosting, but it is
nice and creamy underneath.
Time saver: On arising, make

estimated that one in eight or
nine turkeys this year Is this
type of small bird. The aver
age hen weighs 9 pounds alive
and from 7 to 8 pounds
dressed.
A study which may save
farmers millions of dollars
each year in livestock feed
was started with twin calves
a year ago by DR.. Clarence
F. Winchester, a physiologist
with the Division of Animal
Husbandry. Working with
eight pairs of twins. the sci
enlist is trying to solve the
problem of whether the
farmer faced with grain
shortages should raise beef
cattle on reduced rations or
go into debt to buy feed.
While one twin is fed a full
diet, the other Is placed for
six months on 10, 81 or so per
cent rations. Research Is
directed toward finding out
how much market value may
be lost by reduced feeding.
At the end of the five-year
project, DR.. Winchester hopes
to set up alignment charts on
his studies. These would
enable a farmer to check pre-
vailing feed costs, estimate
the market price of beef and
determine how much feed he
can afford to give his animals.
Four years ago, a research
project was started in the

lowing General James C. Steese and Col. Malcolm Elliott as head of the Road Commission he continued planning of the network of roads that helped develop Alaskan communities, mines and mining areas.
 When the Territory first received appropriations for arfied construction and new era of transporta ton by air began in Alaska the Alaska Road Con- mission was given the responsibility of carrying out this program under the regime Territorial Highway Engineer R. J. Sommers, and MT. Taylor built the Terrtory's first airfields and landing strips
 Never a spendthrift he did his job the funds available fought for appropriations and when he got less then he asked for did the impossible by stretching those funds farther than anyone would have believed possible.
 The fact that the Taylors may not be leaving Alaska permanently good news. MT and Mrs Taylor have many friends here who hope that they will not relnquish their Alaska residence Their is here and following his fathers path, is with the Alaska Road Commission.
 One of his greatest regrets about leaving the Alaska Road Commission, is leaving his friends and fellow employees with whom he has been associated for many years
 The greatly expanded road program of the Terri tory has brought about reorganization of the Alaska Road Commission, and with Col John R. Moves, a capable engineer of many years experience in con- pete charge as commissioner of roads, MT Taylor has taken advantage of the retirement his years of service have earned him.
 Since MT. Taylor is retifing, something We can be pleased about that his successor as chief engineer is Angelo Ghglione Except for his service with the navy engineer practically all of MT Ghgliones experience since he graduated from college has been with the Alaska Road Commission, under MT. Tayor's supervision.
 They are both exceptional men and in their sep- arate wish them well.

 Above him the deep-set, sombre eyes of Abe Lincoln still stared down at the political party he had helped to spawn. Eighty seven years before he had stood at an- ether rally-at Gettysburg where he told fellow Republicans: We are testing. Whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure" The hazards which he outlined are still there. The principles he en- blazoneds on mems minds are still remembered. But will they be car ried out by those who now profess his faith? That was the big ques- tion asked from the sidelines at the famed box supper Only time will give the answer.

 TAKE, JAMB0REF

A group of 20 selected cub scouts,
 boy scouts, and explorers took part
 in a special ceremony last Friday | dramatizing the report of the Alaska | Councils first years work in the 10th anniversary crusade to strengthen the arm of liberty. Reporting for the 2150 boys and men of Alaska's scouting organlza- tion, the representatives gave a
 statistical summary to Gov. Ernest Gruening of the 1949 record for Alaska in scout leadership, mem bership, and activities. Representing the 601 men and women who are registered leaders in the boys move ment in Alaska, Scout Commissioner Charles G. Burdick, who is assistant
 regional forester for Alaska, sup plemented the information supplied by the boys.
 The ceremony took place in the
 Senate Chambers of the Federal Building with radio station kINY transcribing the proceedings for later release to all Alaska radio sta-
 tions.
 In his response to the reports,
 Gov. Gruening congratulated the
 Alaska Council on their tremendous growth during the past year and said that he felt the Boy Scout movement was making a signifi- cant contribution to the develop 1 ment of the Territory.
 Following explorer scout Bob Ripke's description of the National
 Jamboree to be held at Valley Forge, | Penn, next summer, the Governor l presented to the group flag ot , Alaska to be taken with Alaska $
 jamboree delegation and flown along
 with the flags of the AS states at ! the huge national conclave of 10000
 picked scouts from all over America. | The program was concluded by re-
 citation by a cub scout, boy scout, l and an explorer of the Declaration
 of Purpose, reaffirming the deter mination of the Boy Scouts ot
 America members to live up to their i citizenship pledges and to strengthen
 the democratic way of life at every
 opportunity.

Mixing politics and taxes-While Congress is scratching for more tax money, the U. S. tax court, key agency for collecting taxes, is in danger of going political. Out of the 16 judges, there will soon be nine vacancies, and if the Admin istration chooses to make them political appointments, a lot of badly needed tax revenue can go out the window. Four vacancies are coming up for appointment in June, while four judges over 70 are holding Cffioe only by Presidential dispensation. Tragedy is that Con- gress provides no pensions for tax court judges When they retire, after years of poorly paid work, they are out of luck
