Navy Moves 10 Overhaul
Presidential Yacht

President Eisenhower has not
made known his wishes regard
Ing use of the presidential yacht
Williamsburg but the Navy is 60
ing ahead with plans for it's an
nual overhaul.
The Navy said today the Will
liamsburg would leave the Naval
Gun Factory here, probably this
week end, for Norfolk, Va, where
the ovrehaul work will be under
way from February to March
16.
1t was explained that most of
the overhaul work would take
place regardless of the Presi-
dents decision since no ship is
laid up in the reserve fleet with
out first being put in f1rst-class
working order. If President Eli
senhoWer decides against using
the Williamsburg, present plans
call for placing it in the reserve
fleet.
There were some unofficial re-
ports after the election that Pres
ident Eisenhower probably would
not keep the yacht but would
prefer a mountain retreat for
week ends. President Truman
frequently took cruises down the
Potomac and on Chesapeake Bay
aboard the yacht.
The Williamsburg carries eight
officers and $50 enlisted men and
costs around $85, 900 a year to
operate, the Navy said.

Negro Doctor Is Paid Tribute
As TexosC City's Top '52Citizen
Dr.. Dickey Honored
For Long Service
To His People
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

TAYLOR. Tex. Jan. ga
quiet, 59-year-old Negro physi-
clan is this central Texas city's
outstanding citizen of 1852.
DR.. James Lee Dickey was
honored yesterday by the towns
four civic clubs for watching
over the health of his people for
80 years."
DR.. Dickey came to Taylor in
1921, young medical school
graduate, when Negroes waited
In hospital corridors until doc
tors had treated white patients,
when NegroeS-StrangerS to the
town-had been pistol-whipped
for asking if they could enter a
movie theater.
Race Relations Bitter.
Now Taylor has a 15-bed mod
ern hospital for Negroes. Their
health is better, the infant diar-
rhea death rate is down, tuber-
culoSis almost whipped. Negroes
attend the Rita Theater on Main
street in this city of about 10000.
They sit in the balcony.
Race relations are getting bet
ter" DR.. Dickey believes. 1--WE
need time for the races to under
stand and to know each other.
Every one just needs to be pa
tient, and things that seem to
be problems won't be problems
any more. We fthe Negroes)
can't make anybody like us. It's
a thing of the heart. All we can
do is wait and hope"
His greatest challenge came in
1888 when a typhoid fever epi-
demic struck his people. It was
during the depression and many
Negroes could not afford $1.30 a
month for a city water connec-
ton. They used contaminated
water from Bull Branch Greek.
DR.. Dickey went before the
city commissioners with proof
that Bull Branch, into which
some cess pools drained, was part
of the city sewer disposal system.
The city opened fire hydrants
and allowed the poor, Negro and
white alike, to carry water away
IN buckets. The State Health
Department provided typhoid
vaccine and DR.. Dickey worked
long hours giving three injec-
tionS to every Negro who would
take them. There was no charge.
Whipped Typhoid.
DR.. Dickey persuaded the city
to let him use an empty rooming
house for treatment of typhoid
victims. On the same site today
is the Dickey Clinic, his 15-bed
hospital erected in 1895.
With typhoid whipped, the
Negro doctor turned to infant
diarrhea, the high death rate of
the newborn, venereal diseases
and tuberculosis. Before he
came, the birth of a Negro baby
in a hospital was all but un-

MEASURING SKIRT.

mrs. B. E. L., Mount RGiTier)
For Mrs. era, Washing
ton: I am sending you my
method for putting hens in
your own skirt. Measure front
and back and sides Of a skirt
that fits the way you like. Lay
your skirt on a large table or
floor and measure exactly the
length you want. That way
you can allow the extra length
where you want it. After I
have measured it very care
fully and put pins or chalk
marks in, put the sides to-
gether and lay on the table
that way and check on it to
see if I have. any long or short
places. I have used this meth
cd for years and 1t always
works. Having a long mirror
is a big help.

HUNGARIAN KIFFLES.

mrs. E. p, CneDy CH0Sei
'Kiff1es" are a must at our

time. The following recipes
were given to me by girls from
Hungarian origin.

in large bowl as you would a
pie crust. Mix in smaller bowl:
l pint thick sour cream. 2 yeast

for nuts), pinch salt. Add this
mixture to -four and butter

smooth. Chill in refrigerator
overnight or until thoroughly
chilled. Roll in sugar and I'LL
with nut mixture.
Nut mixture: 2 pounds
ground walnuts. Beat egg
whites, add to walnuts-also
add rind of one lemon and
Juice from lemon. Add sugar
to desired sweetness.
To roll the dough. cut a small
piece and roll in sugar Il also
sprinkle sugar on top Of dough-
until very thin. Leave re-
mainder of dough in refrigera-
tor Cut in 21a to 3 inch
squares and put approximately
a teaspoon of walnut mixture
in center of one end and roll.
squeeze ends and shape into
crescents, putting end down.
Bake on ungreased cooky
sheet approximately 10 to Is
minutes, or until a golden
brown (check the first PAM in
at $50 to 375 degree oven. Must
be very careful to keep the
dough chilled as it is easier
to roll.
Here are two smaller recipes:
u pound butter, u pound
cream cheese, 2 cups hour.
Chill and roll. Follow same
procedure. I've tried this recipe
also: it is very rich and very
good.
y pound butter, 3 cups hour.
/ yeast cake, 4 egg yolKs, !
pint sour cream, pinch salt.
This recipe can be rolled at
once. I've never tried it but
the girl that gave it to me
always made it because it saved
her time.
I hope you will have luck
with these and will find one
you like.
