Many in this country believe
the Russian rulers do not have
to bother about public opinion.
The sending out of teams Of
party members at this time to
sell the new anti-Stalin line con-
tradicts this.
Propaganda Value
Back in 1887 some wondered
why Stain bothered with trials
at all. since the accused had
confessed privately. But it be-
came apparent that the court
hearings, held for six full days,
we're staged for propaganda pur-
poses.

prisoners were held incom-
municado and then repeated
publicly, were extorted from
them, perhaps by torture, per-
haps by using the families OF
the accused as hostages.
But the confessions are even
more amazing if they were not
true.
The 1887 trials were an after
math of the assassination OF
Sergi Kirov, the boss Of Lenin-
grad. in December, 1884. One
opinion has been that Stain
himself was responsible for the
crime. Another has been that

ers succeeded one another to sit
as spectators and then to give
first hand accounts how the
enemies of the people-and Of
the great Stalin-were being
brought to justice. That has to
be counteracted now.
The books the Russians were
kind enough to send US almost

There were II defendants;
Thirteen were condemned to be
shot; four others got off with
prison sentences. Presumably the
regulations of at least some Of
these men, who were "old Boil

They were to demonstrate how

But the result of the present

just like most travellers
away from home for the first
time. two teen-agers from
Texas suddenly had a yen for
their home town speciality. It's
a dish that goes by the strange
name Of slang jang.
How or why the dish &C.
quired that particular name no
one in Honey Grove. Texas,
seems to know or care. But
Nancy Sue Carlock. 10, her
hazel eyes sparkling with the
Joy Of living. can tell you how
the dish originated.
way back years ago, the
men used to sit around the
local grocery store playing
cards in the evening. Honey
Grove is just a small town.
you know. Well, every night
they got hungry and used to
nibble on crackers and cheese.
Then one night they got the
idea of mixing a lot Of canned
foods together in a washtub
and dubbed it slang jang',"
said Nancy Sue with a charm
ing smile.
They put anything into it
they want to, she explained,
which probably accounts for
the fact there are many varia-
tons of the recipe.
Some even put Vienna sau-
sages in it or pork and beans.
But I don't care for that. Gene
doesn't like oysters in his slang
jang, but I think it's absolutely
fiat without them" she de-
clared.
Nancy's Version
Nancy Sue and Gene Candy.

Grove, are spending the sum-
mer with Nancy's cousin, Mrs.
Francelia Butler. in Arlington.
Nancy Sue graduated from

high school this spring with a
93.76 average. She was drum
major of the high school band
and plays the clarinet.
Gene holds the honor Of
having the highest average of
any student to graduate from
Honey Grove high school. He
chalked up a 1887 record. He
plays the piano and trumpet in
a dance band when he's at
home.
The other evening, yearning
for a taste Of this. Texas spe-
cialty. they decided to mix up
a batch and try it out on a few
Of Mrs. Buffers friends.
This is Nancy's version: In
a large mixing bowl combine
large can Of tomatoes, / can
salmon, ! can oysters, chopped
onions. to taste, chopped dill
pickle, to taste, 2 or 3 table
spoons Of liquid from a jar Of
hot peppers, and chopped hot
peppers. to taste. Season with
salt and pepper; add tray or
two Of ice cubes to chill. Mix
and serve in soup bowls. This
should be eaten with sharp
cheese and crackers.
There's no closed season on
serving slang jang. the people
in Honey Grove like it so much
they serve it the year round.
It's a popular dish for church
suppers. benefits or any large
get-together.
Just the other night daddy
went out and made it for a
benefit for the armory at
home" said Nancy Sue in her
slow Texas drawl. 1T was to
raise money to buy the ground,
the Government is building
the armory." Nancy's father
owns a dry goods store in
Honey Grove.
The men pride themselves
in making this dish, she went
on, "it's the one thing I never
remember my mother going to
the kitchen to make"
Davey CrOckett's Town
Slang jang isn't the only
thing the inhabitants Of
Honey Grove brag about.
Davey Crockett named the
town although he never lived
there. The story goes he was
passing that way en- route to
the Alamo. He picked out a
grove Of trees as a likely spot
to bivouac for the night. It
turned out there were swarms
of honey bees in those trees.
Before he left, he carved out
the name Honey Grove" on a
tree.
Strange as it seems, the
first settlers were a newly
wed couple Crockett had mar
ried in Tennessee. They
stumbled on the spot purely
by accident.
Honey Grove is also known
as the "sirup city, the sweet
est spot in Texas" Nancy says,
although there are no honey
bees there now and nary Q
maple tree in sight.
Next to slang jang, beef
rates high on Nancy's list of
favorite foods. I'VE have good
beef. I think we're all steak
crazy in our part Of the
country" she admitted. But
when a stranger shows up in
town they're always invited to
a slang jang supper. It's just
an old Texas custom.
