Fairfax Lets Contracts
For 3 Sewer Lines
ToiaIing S455,OOO

Three new sewer contracts
totaling $455, 900 were awarded
by the Fairfax Board Of County
Supervisors yesterday.
The new awards make a total
of 5l.86 miles Of sewer lines
placed under contract in the first
half of a $40 million sewer i'm
provemenE program. Only three
more sewer line jobs are yet To
be awarded, plus three disposal
plants, from the first $40 mil
lion in bonds sold.
Contracts were awarded yes
terday as follows: Dogue Greek
area collecting sewers. to Nance
& vivadelli for $260,657; An
Mandate Acres collecting sewers
to L. S. Sauber 81 Co. for $685.
546; Annandale proper collect
ing sewers, to L. S. Sauber e.
Co. for $105,805.
Deal With Business Group.
The supervisors agreed to re-
imburse a group Of businessmen
along U. s. Highway ! IL they
privately finance the proposed
sewer lines in their area. Sewer
lines to serve areas along No. /
highway south of Snake Hill at
Groveton fall within the second
half of the sewer improvement
program, for which bonds have
not yet been sold.
Attorney Andrew w. Clarke,
representing a number of resi-
dents and businessmen in the
area, said they have been warned
by the health officer that con-
ditions are too unsanitary to
wait any longer. The supervisors
decided the businessmen could
be reimbursed when the second
$40 million bond issue is sold,
provided all work is done under
county supervision and accord
ing to county plans.
Supervisor Arthlr Shaffer
commented that the area is in
desperate circumstances" and
said he could not understand
why that section was not placed
in the first half of the sewer
improvement program.
$4,000 for Hospital.
The supervisors voted to con-
tribute $4,000 toward Arlington
Hospitals current fund cam
paign for the construction of a
81 million wing, Half of the
contribution is to come out of
Fairfax County's budget next
year, and the remaining half will
be allocated as soon thereafter
as it is needed.
A proposed pay plan covering
the county's five State constitu-
tional departments was presented
the supervisors by James A. Var
ger. who was employed by the
county to prepare a personnel
and pay plan for all county jobs.
The plan for lis employees in
State constitutional departments
was presented now because the
State Compensation Board meets
this month to fix next years
salaries.
The pay plan would cost the
county $751; 400 more a year in
salaries and would place all en-
ployes in a designated work
class. The five State departments
covered by the first phase OF
his pay plan are sheriff. finance
department.. clerk, Common
wealth's attorney, and depart
ment of assessments.

How to Render
Quality Lard
BY HOWARD SNYDER SIR.

I STILL HAVE and use the big
black iron kettle that I rendered my
first lard in away back in the year
1900. My father used it before me.
1 have a few definite ideas on rem
dering lard.
1. Get your fat only from prime
hog. Mine have always been fat
tened on corn. Cut your fat INTO
cubes, removing the skin. Skin on
fat cubes or ground fat causes the
fat to stick to the kettle and burn
easily.
2. Chill those cubes well, but do
not freeze. Do not keep the fat sew
eral days before rendering. 1t spoils
readily. Even if it is not kept long
enough to spoil it can acquire
musty, stale odor that will show up
in the rendered lard. We have al
ways rendered our lard the next day
after butchering the hog. Spread
out the fat cubes SO they can cool
out completely. Even if kept but
one night before rendering the fat
must not be exposed to objection
able odors-coal oil, spoiled potatoes,
cabbage, anything.
3. Leaf fat should be rendered sep

ton. A tool of prevention, veterinar-
ians say it is the means of getting
clean of the disease and keeping
Clean" And it's a fact that, in areas
where stockmen have continuously
vaccinated replacement heifers as 6
to 12-month-old calves, brucellosis
is hard to find.
In the Big Hole, for example, test
ing last fall brought to light only one
infected herd. And that was not a
native herd in which vaccination
had been practiced.
Value of Vaccination
"I'think this is an outstanding ex-
ample of the value of a vaccination
program carried on over a period
of years." DR.. Wilkins says. These
results have been borne out in prac-
tieally all counties in herds where
vaccination has been the rule for
five wears or InOreo
Occasionally, herds with longtime
vaccination records will come up
with reactor or two. Generally,
though, they are old cows-hold-
overs from pre-vaceination days
that were infected but have become
immune and are producing regu-
1arly. Otherwise, such herds have
been uniformly clean.
Much TO Be Done
This brucellosis story hasn't an
ending yet, and it won't have until
the whole of Montana is certified
free. There's still lot to be done
that you, as stockman, can con-
tinue to help with.
If you are in a control area ano

shoulders and hams can be rendered
with the leaf fat. Intestinal fat often
has strong odor. We wash this fat
in ice-cold water and store in cold
place until rendered.
Absolutely No Lean
f. There simply must not be any
lean meat on the fat cubes. This
makes the fat cubes stick to the sides
of the kettle as do the rinds. Meat
on the cubes also causes lard to turn
brown. And that is something no
1ard-rendering fan wants. We do
take pride in the snowy whiteness of
our lard.
8. The meat sticking to the sides
of the kettle and causing the fat to
burn is ruinous, for scorched lard
has a Scorched taste and this is ana
thema. 1t must never happen. Add
a little water to your big black
kettle, put in a few handfuls of
fat cubes, start very small and
slow fire under the kettle and when
sufficiently hot begin stirring with
that big wooden ladle with the holes
in it. Stir slowly and evenly. Do
not stir violently. This gets air into
the lard and causes it to spoil.
AS fat breaks down, increase heat
and fat, keep stirring. A long time
after you start, bubbling will stop,
cracklings will float on top of the
lard, this means your cooking is
completed. Cracklings will be light
brown in color and crumble up
easily in your hand. Remove fire
from under the kettle, but do not
stop stirring. Your kettle is hot and
you can yet burn that lard and
thereby ruin it completely.
Use Small Containers
6. Strain the hot grease through
a cheesecloth placed in an ordinary
milk strainer. We strain our lard
into sterilized quart glass mason
jars, let it cool, and seal up tight,
This protects the lard from odors.
Store in dark place. We do not
like larger containers because if lard
is dipped out of gallon bucket, for
example, it is often smeared over
the bucket. This is no good; it be-
comes rancid. mean that lard on
the outside of the bucket becomes
rancid and the odor penetrates to
h. lo-J ,~e.Io AZ l,,,ol~o4
z. You must be sure your lard is
cooked sufficiently before calling
the cooking job done, for insuffi-
GENTLY cooked fat spoils after it
is sealed up for storage.
8. Now word about the crack
1ings. 1t is best to have a lard press
into which you can dump cracklings
and really squeeze down on them in
order to get out as much fat as pos
sible. We seal up the cracklngs in
glass jars as we do the lard. We
have friends in town who say there
is nothing on the farm they like
better than cracklings. They use
them in making cracking biscuits.
Well sailed and peppered cracklings
are good, if you are indifferent as
to how much grease you eat.
The Fat Supreme

ancestors, that pork lard is one of
the best and, for farmers who grow
corn, most economical cooking fats

Get Rid of BrucelIOsis
Continued from page -

Essentially the same ruling made
by the State Livestock Sanitary
Board, will become effective July l
to cover all cattle sold within the
state.
But both the federal and Montana
regulations make exceptions to the
health-certificate requirement. Both,
in effect, say that cattle coming from
modified certified brucellosis free
areas can be moved freely.
That may not be true for some
states because of varying laws but,
says State Veterinary Surgeon H. F.
Wilkins, ''We believe in time the
essence of the federal regulation will
prevail in most states" And, he
adds, at is certainly one of the most
forward steps taken in many years
to permit range and semi-range cat
tie to move interstate under reason
able requirements"
So the marketing advantage of
brucellosis-free areas is apparent,
especially to those interested in mar
keting breeding stock off range. But
marketing isn't the only gain.
Human Disease
One very important benefit of
brucellosis control will be freedom
from the human form of this dis
ease, undulant fever. It's source is in
domestic, EMBELLISHMENTS live
stock and frequently the disease is
contracted by those working with
infected cattle. Most cases are among
rural people.
In DR.. Wilkins opinion, "Undulant
fever is such a devastating disease
and has caused so much human suf-
fering that feel we are justified in
going to almost any end to eradicate
brucellosis from livestock. Because
until it is eliminated from livestock
it can never be prevented in the hui
man family"
There's at least one other gain to
NC AltclAlC OAtS1l 01lC(b1NS III lACCllO-
sis control: Elimination of economic
losses caused by the disease. Low
calf crops and low milk production
are generally associated with bru-
cellosis. In badly infected herds,
these losses run high.
Little Brucellosis in State
Honestly measured, though, gains
here will be minor for the state a.

for some individual stockmen. The
reason: Montana has relatively little

LONDON, LR-The worst winter in seven years turned Europe into one vast icebox from the Urals to the Mediterranean Tuesday and spread misery among the homeless in the big cities. It covered the play resorts Of North Africa with snow.
 Trains were stalled. Rivers were turned i~ to oian+ ico ponds. Over worked electric lines broke down. Hundreds of villages were cut off.
 The Weatherman said even low CT temperatures were on the way.
 Already, more than 45 people have died.
 In North Africa, many parts of Morocco had their first snowfall in 35 years. Near Meknes, three feet of snow was reported and the hills around Algiers were ice- capped.
 London had it's coldest night in seven years with the temperature tumbling to 23 degrees for 12 hours running
 Nearly 100 villages were cut off by snowdrifts in the Italian high lands. A bowling windstorm with gusts of hurricane force lashed at Trieste, injuring at least seven people.
 Public warming rooms were opened in Frankfurt, Germany, and Paris, and shivering homeless jammed the Paris subway stations to escape the freezing winds.

Dulles Tells Big Four Conference Soviet One-Man Rule Endangers Peace

BERLIN, R-Secretary of State Dulles told the Big Four foreign ministers conference Tuesday the Soviet bloc and it's one-man rule is the real danger to world peace, not the Western defensive alli- ance.
 This was the American states mans answer to Soviet Minister Molotov's charges that the West ern powers are promoting war in trying to unify Germany within the family of European nations.
 In stinging language, Dulles hurled Molotov's own words spoken after the 1888 Nazi- Com munist partition of Poland-back at him. At that time, with Moscow and Berlin in booty-hungry partnership, Molotov called it mot only senseIess but criminal" for the Western nations to war against Hitler.
 Molotov, in challenging the Western worlds motives about peace now, is just as wrong today as he was then, Dulles asserted.
 The secretary led the Western broadside against the Russian as a retort to Molotov's unyielding position Monday Molotov had stressed that Russia would settle only for neutral Germany un- able to have any link with the W-st and saddled with Commu- nist influence
 The greatest danger to world pe- ce." Dulles said, ''lies in the fla. tna- in some cases a vast nili- ta-r establishment can 1e made to attack .y ,-4c decision of a single nation, sometimes by the decision of a single man. That is a situation that is understandably terrifying"
 He left no doubt that he was talking about the monolithic So- Viet regime
