RECORD PLAYER.
CORN FROM COB?
LIVER RECIPES?
MRS. r. H. NJ. Beltsville)

mrs. r. H. NJ. BeltsUille)
For Mrs. A. S. F., Falls
Church: We gave our 4-year-
old daughter a three-Speed
record player for Christmas
and by now we can say that it
is her favorite toy on rainy
days. The player is one of the
plainest models. with only one
knob, which serves as switch
and tone control, it cost under
$40. She learned to operate
it in a very short time. At first
she had some trouble when
putting the needle on the rec
ord, she used to drop it down
and could not get it close to
the edge of the record. For
this reason I think it best to
start with inexpensive records
just in case a few get ruined.
For the time being do not
allow her to change the speed
by herself, since all her records
are of the 78-r.p.m. speed.
Can some one please tell me
how to cut corn off the cob
for canning so that you don't
cut pieces of the cob away at
the same time. used a knife
last year and must have cut
down to far. I know there is
a gadget on the market which
is supposed to do this job, does
any one know how we'll it
works and if it would solve my
problem?
I would like to have some
recipes that use ground liver.
They will have to be easy to
fix and no dumplings. please.
I do have a recipe for those.
Also would appreciate some
recipes for icicle molds. Not
just the ordinary powdered
soft drink type, but those that
have food value. Thank you
for any help you can offer me.

Chief S. C. Powell Urges
Halloween Safety

halloween is just around the
corner, and the traffic goblins will
get you if you don't watch Quit"
This isn't an idle threat from the
kindergarten set, it's a deadly seri-
GUS warning, from all people, Chief
Sam Powell of the Milford Police.
Sure, l believe in gOblins," Chief
Powell! said today as he discussed
the dangers that lurk in Milford
streets on Halloween. But don't
get me wrong. I'm not talking
about the spOoks that bring scared
squeals from the youngsters. The
COLLINS l fear, are the traffic COB
Inns who victimize unwary kids as
they go about their haunting on
Halloween"
Chief Powell spoke in support of
the Night Traffic Hazards program
which the Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil are conducting during October.
Chief Powell pointed out that
youngsters are likely to let safety
rules go by the board in the excite
ment of soaring and being scared
on Halloween. He said many of the
child fatalities and injuries that
occur on this holiday are caused
by youngsters dashing into the
street, often dressed in dark cos
tunes and wearing masks.
MASKS prevent the children
from seeing clearly" Chief Powell
said, "and dark costumes prevent
the mOtOrist from seeing them.
Parents should see that the young
sters wear only light colored cos
tunes or outfits trimmed with
white or reflectorized material"
Chief Powell urged parents to
band together to see that sufficient
parties and gatherings are provid-
ed in their communities to keep
youngsters entertained.
He also reminded motorists to
keep a constant lookout for chill
dren and to be especially careful
when driving in residential areas.
