19 Slot Machine Stamps
Are Renewed in virginia
BY the Associ1ied Press

RICHMOND, Aug. 7.-Nineteen
Federal slot machine stamps have
been renewed for the current ifs
cal year in Virginia.
Applications for renewal for the
fiscal year which began July /,
had to be field by July 81. Sew
eral applications are being proc
essed and other stamps will be
issued shortly, an Internal Rev.
enue Bureau spokesman said.
Earlier this year, revenue Of
flcials predicted fewer slot ma
chine operators would renew their
Federal stamps because of the
$3.50 excise tax per machine and
a Federal law which prohibits
the interstate shipment Of slot
machine gambling devices.
Sixty-three stamps were issued
last year.

her in the stomach.
In November Of 1850, Flanary
was sentenced to two years for

Mrs. Flanary again accused her
husband of beating her last March,
but refused to testify against him
at the trial.
The lashes will not be admin

the defendant a chance to ask for
"a new trial, according to Sheriff

White House 10 Direct
New Procedures for
Security Risk Cases

The White House is expected to
issue soon a new directive for
handling security risk charges
against Federal employees.
The program, which will be in
"a form of an executive order by
President Truman, would give
Federal workers fired on security
charges a right to appeal to an
impartial board. It would be
similar to the appeals procedure
used in loyalty cases.
Security risks do not involve
the question of communism or
other subversive activities in most
instances, but deal mainly with a
persons fitness for jobs involving
national security.
May Be Personal Traits.
Employees are dismissed for
security reasons because they may
drink or gossip too much. be
indiscriminate in their choice Of
friends. run up large debts, and
other reasons involving character
defects.
At the present time. employees
accused of being bad security risks
have no way of appealing their
agency's action or defending them
selves before an impartial board.
The forthcoming order will estab-
fish such a unit. It will be operated
separately from the loyalty ap-
peals board, officials say.
Is Result Of Study.
The new program is a result of
a study made by the National Sc
curity Council at the instigation
Of President Truman last year.
At that time, Mr.. Truman said
the current program did not OPP
|erate satisfactorily.
There are no uniform standards
|or procedures" he said. Neither
lis there any provision for review
lat a central point as there Is in
the case Of the Government en-
|ploye loyalty program"

enough for himself and his
friends. To one part of brown sug;-
ar. and four parts of salt, he adds
a good pinch Of cayenne pepper.
This mixture he rubs with love
and patience into each fresh ham.
Then he packs the hams in a big
wooden box in ample layers Of
salt, brown sugar and red pepper.
At the end of six weeks, Mr..
Frazier unpacks his hams (and ba-
con, too), rubs off the extra salt
and sugar and then washes them in
lukewarm water.
By this time it is March /, and
the time is ripe to hang the hams
in the smoke house. There, over a
smoldering fire Of green hickory
wood, MI. Frazier smokes his
pearls without price throughout
the whole month of March.
By the end of that time, his
ruby jewels are ready for the
table, but, he cautions, they'll be
a lot better if they are allowed
to hang and cure through the heat
of a languid Missouri summer.
How to cook such a ham? Mr..
Frazir gives way to his mother,
Mrs. LYDIA Frazier, in this depart
ment. This small, brisk woman is q

Of Gordon bleus.
Don't soak it, don't pre-cook

it real slow, probably $50 degrees
for seven or eight hours. That bag
holds all the favor in.

MOBERLY, Mo, April / (INs

MOBERLY, Mo, April l (INS)
About six months ago, one OF
those educational research bureaus
sent me a long,nosy QUESTIONABLE.
what" this QUESTIONABLE want
ed to know among 500 other
things edo you regard as the most
lasting benefit of your college ed
ucation?"
Well, the most lasting benefit
of my college days is two friends,
Catherine and Bill Van Cleve, who
invite me to Moberly from time
to time to eat my fill of Missouri
hickory-smoked country ham.
Occasionally the Van Cleves,
viewing my life and hard times in
New York with compassion, ship
me a Missouri country ham just
to keep my spirits and my strength
up.
I have now been in Randolph
County for "a hours and we have
worried the first ham into such
shape that it is fit only to be
wrapped up in a pot of split pea
soup Or a kettle of pole beans.
Initiation is running everything.
But neither time, tide nor Truman
has had power to change the Mis-
souri, hickory-smoked country ham.
It is still the magnificent, deep,
rich mahogany red of yore, fleck-
ed here and there with a snow
flake of white fat to give it quail
ty and authenticity.
This is a ham with authority
something to put the teeth into
and chew: no one of your poor,
flabby modern hams cured with
chemicals and commercial process
es. The Missouri ham is the pro-
duct Of hickory smoke and loving
care. When accompanied by its
natural companions, red-eye OF
cream gravy, and a platter of but
termilk biscuits, it is food for the
gods.
A man who smokes a Missouri
country ham usually learns theart
from his father who, in turn, pick.
ed up the knack from his Pa.
"That's how it was with me-
said Cavella Frazier, who dropped
by the Van Cleves a little while
ago to see if the Frazier ham was
up to standard. II earned a lot
at the university, but my father
taught me about hams"
