CRANBERRY SAUCE;
HEDGE:
FROSTING? !
mrs. A. r., Arlingto1,)

mrs. A. r., Arlingto1,)
I've received so many good
ideas and recipes from your
RICH I'd like to contribute a bit
in return.
Mrs. T. L. B., Washington:
Ten-minute Cranberry Sauce
Two cups sugar. 2 cups water
and l pound a cups) cram
berries Boil sugar and water
together for minutes. Add
cranberries and boil without
stirring until all the skins pop
open Give minutes is usually
Sufficient.) Remove from fire
and allow the sauce to remain
in pan until cool. Makes l
quart.
In answer to Mrs. C. D.,
Riverdale: If your hedge is
hollyhocks and has been there
for over a year, I'd say. it was
hardy and will come UP from
the roots every spring. Tney
die down to the ground after
killing frost. However, it
sounds more like althea to me.
in which case it is entirely
hardy and now is a good time
to prune it back.
Althea grows like a weed and
needs to be controlled. If you
are in doubt as to the kind OF
bush it is. break off a branch
and take it to a nursery or
florist. He can tell you for
sure, but altheas makes a bush
with many branches whereas
hollyhocks grow from a clump
and in tall spires. having bios
SONS all along the spire. with
great leaves-no branches.
Will some one please send in
q white frosting, preferably
cooked, which uses lots of raw
grated coconut? We love it.

FOUR PROBLEMS?
MRS. J. B., Washington

NNA6os - Up W bNcttSfSSt0ft<
have several problems that
I hope some of you kind readers
can assist me with. First, sew
eral months ago I left a piece Of
plastic on my mahogany table
for several days during hot
weather and it stuck to the
table. Some one suggested using
camphorated oil on it, which I
did with no results. I hope some
one can suggest remedy as
I am just sick about my nice
table.
Secondly, the white dressing
used on white summer shoes is
on so many of my chair and
table legs. I cannot seem to get
it off.
Thirdly, my living room floor
needs refinishing and waxing
badly. I always use a 9x12 rug
on floor and it seems like such
an expense to have the whole
floor done, but is it not possible
to have just two or three feet
around the edges redone? I
should like to hear from some
one who might have had this
experience.
Last but not least, can any
one tell me where I might OBJ
tain salt rising bread?

Here's How To
Fireproof Your
Chrismtas Day

Charles r. Scott, Ohio State
Fire Marshal, is urging all citizens
of Ohio to be extra careful this
Christmas so that their holiday
will be free from the unlimited
guest. FIRE. Remember two things
about your Christmas tree, he con-
tinued, first, it is very combustible,
being filled with pitch and resin.
it ignites easily and burns fiercely.
Secondly, care and caution are
necessary to keep your Christmas
tree safe-and your Christmas
Merry.
Foss H. Gragg, Program Direc-
tor, Ohio Fire Safety Committee.
Division of State Fire Marshal,
offers a few common senes rules
for the prevention of fires during
the Christmas season.
Cd Don't set the tree up until
a few days before Christmas.
(2) Set the tree in the coolest
part of the house away from radi-
ators, heaters or fireplaces. Stand
it in water or wet sand.
90 Use only flame proof deco
rations. Estate law forbids the sale
of other types.)
(4) Avoid smoking around the
Christmas tree.
80 Remove gift wrappings
promptly.
co Use only electrical lights
bearing u. L. label and don't leave
the lights burning when leaving
the house.
CD When needles start falling.
take tree down and discard it.
(8) Provide plenty of large ash

O.F.B.F. Seeks To
Strengthen Strip
Mining Laws

COLUMBUS-The Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation will press to
put more teeth" in present Ohio
strip mining laws in the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly.
This announcement was made
this. week by the Organization De-
partment of the Farm Bureau
which stated that it is prepared to
present the legislature with
specific plan aimed at strengthen
ing the existing law.
This plan is outlined in a reso-
luton adopted by official delegates
of the farm organization at its 34th
Annual Meeting held here in late
November.
Specifically, the Farm Bureau
will ask that the present law be
amended to require the returns
from forfeited bonds put up by
mining operators be used to re-
claim the land covered by such
bonds.
The Farm Bureau will recon-
mend further that:
u More field assistants be add
ed to the Division of Reclamation;
p An operator be required to
deposit additional bond and fees at
any time during the year when he
exceeds the acreage licensed;
- Th amount of bonds per acre
be increased; and
4) The law more definitely de-
fine what is to be required of the
strip mine operator.
According to d. r. Stanfield, di-
rector of organization, there is
still dissatisfaction and even con-
fusion concerning the present law.
He believes that the law should be
spelled out more clearly and its
weak points strengthened for the
common good.

BookmobiIes Aid
In Education

In 1851 Ohio's bookmobiles cir
culated 4,789, ,769 books or slightly
less than one of every eight books
circulated from all public libraries
in Ohio, according to DR.. Clyde
Hissong, state director of educa-
ton.
Walter Brahm, librarian of the
Ohio State Library, said that the
bookmobiles are owned and op-
Grated by local Libraries but the
travelling library division of the
Ohio State Library provides about
$4,000 books per year to help stock
the bookmobiles and county IL
brary collections These books are
loaned for a. year at a time and
are re-circulated by the local Ii
brary on an average of 20 times.
The 1851 report further shows
that there were SO bookmobiles
operating in 81 counties. In 1885
only five bookmobiles were in op-
Grafton in Ohio, most of them in
such populous and wealthy coun-
ties as Cuyahoga (Cleveland) and
Hamilton, (Cincinnati).
Last year bookmobiles made reg
ular stops at 912 schools and 1900
small communities, making COM
plete rounds of these stops on an
average of once every two or three
weeks.
Canned flaked fish is a delicious
addition to tomato aspic and, serv-
ed on salad green's, makes an ex-
cellent luncheon salad. Serve a hot
soup first, add bread and butter
and a fruit dessert. and you'll have
hearty meal.
When choosing paint for rooms,
remember that a light color tends
to make a room seem larger than
it is.

think my girdle is too tight or too
loose ?"
The surprising thing about the
poll is that the men didn't object
to girdles on the grounds they were
unmanly, or that George Wash
ington had managed to win a war
without the help of a corset. The
chief objection was that girdles for
men are basically impractical.
MY wife looks better in a Cir
die, and it is only reasonable to
admit that I would, too," said one
man. But here's the problem. It
takes all the muscle that both my
wife and l have to pour her into
a girdle now.
There just isn't enough strength
in our family to get us both into
girdleS. If started wearing a Cir
die, she would either have to quit
wearing hers or / would have to
keep a hired man around just to
help me squirm into mine"
Another man said he felt conf
dent about competing in the busi-
ness world against women. be-
cause he was sure their elastic
armor was actually a handicap tc
them.
They have to struggle so haro
getting into their girdles they ar.
rive at the office exhausted, and j.
is noon before they have rested ur
enough to tackle any real work,
he said. by then I've got most o.
my days work done"
And a third commented:
Oxygen isn't so scare a mar
has to wear : girdle to get it. L
you need more oxygen, wouldn't it

For two generations American
men have forged ahead by follow
ing Horatio Alger's two basic rules
for attaining success:
Hard work.
2-Save bankers child from
being trampled by runaway
horse.
Both of these rules are hard
enough to follow. If DR.. Gordon is
going to add a third formula for
success-"w wear a girdle"-the ord
mary man is just going to decide
the game isn't worth the candle.
He'll go down on the Bowery and

HAL BOYLE
SAYS

NEW YORK LP)-Success can
cost too much.
And if men have TO start wear
ing girdles to achieve it-well, sue
cess has plumb priced itself out of
the market for the average man.
The idea that the American male
needs a girdle to get ahead in a
Woman's world belongs to Dr.
Burgess Gordon, president of the
Women's Medical College in Phila-
delphia. The distinguished medic
says girdles contribute to gals
sense of we'll being by elevating
her abdomen, thus allowing her to
get more air into her lungs and
oxygen into her body tissues.
And if men are going to COM
pete with women successfully he
believes, they had better start
wearing this secret success weap-
on, too.
Well, [ have Just completed a
poll of Is men on this question,
and they voted 14-to-1 as follows:
IF wearing a girdle is to spell
the difference between success
and failure, we'll give up right
now and go fishing. Let women
rule the world"
The only negative vote was from
a middle-aged fellow who pulled
me aside and whispered:

five years, but it has been 10 years
since I got a raise in pay. Do you
