The accent is on Better Break
fasts this first month of autumn,
for September is Better Breakfast
MONTH Fall appetites call for
sturdier fare every meal of the day,
starting with a good, nourishing
breakfast. Numerous studies in
dicate that better breakfasts make
good sense. They increase mental
and physical efficiency, reduce ac-
cidents and cut down absenteeism
on the job. A nourishing break
fast makes a person feel better
too helps start the day right.
However, surveys show that about
half the population skips or
skimps on this all-important meal.
How about checking on your
breakfast? Does it contain one
quarter of the daily calorie and
protein requirement? s. it should.
With today's markets filled with
such a wide variety of cereals,
combined with fresh peaches and
milk, they offer a tasty satisfac-
ton for early morning appetites.
Waffles, pancakes and French
toast can be part of a nourishing
breakfast, and home fried pota-
toes help to round out the days No.
/ meal. Don't forget, it's impor-
tant to have fruit; and glass of
orange juice, grapefruit juice or
tomato juice will certainly fill the
bill.
According to the September
Plentiful Foods List sent out by
the United States Department of
Agriculture, broilers and fryers
will be in big supply. prices will
be fairly low and quality excellent.
If you have been seeking an en-
tree idea that will be distinctively
yours, try creating your own

OF STEAR
III Recorded Weekly by ~
II DR. EDWARD VI kuHL MANN II

Tales of his prOfligate spending
are countless. He once gave a
thousand dollar diamond pin to a
Negro minstrel who sang a song
that pleased him. He bought ho-
tells in which he wished to lodge
and then quickly gave them away
again. He paid the bills for wild
parties at which ballet girls were
his favorite guests. Like the prod
igal of old he spent his all and
when the flow of oil from his wells
subsided, few years found him
poor again. He died in obscurity
forgotten and unmourned.
In striking contrast to "Coal
Oil Johnny / now present John
ny Appleseed" whose real name
was Jonathan Chapman. Begin
ming in 1901 this young man was
seen year after year riding far
and wide in western Pennsylvania
visiting cider mills and gathering
their waste products, apple seeds.
Having filled sbulging bags with
such seeds he loaded them upon
boat at Pittsburgh and drifted with
them down the Ohio River. His
purpose was to go in advance of
coming settlers planting orchards
for them in the wilderness. When
ever he came to an open spot in
the forest he planted his seeds and
then moved on to repeat such
planting elsewhere. When his
seeds were all disposed of, he re-
turned to Pennsylvania for more.
Because. of all this, to this man,
later given special congressional
recognition as Johnny Appleseed"
group of states owe their wealth
of apple orchards.
And now, as these two Penn
sylvania Johnnies" stand before
the bar of our appraisemen, we
cannot but observe how different
they were. Different in what? In
the choices they made for their
lives, choices another John, name
ly John Oxenham, sketches tell
ingly with these words:
"The high soul climbs the high way
And the low soul gropes the low"
@Coal Oil Johnny" groped the
low way of sin and self-indulg-
ence and died in oblivion, byword
and a symbol of the spendthrift's
folly Johnny Appleseed" climbed
the high road of unselfish service
for others.s Immortalized by a spe-
cial resolution of the Congress of
the United States for his note
worthy achievements. he lives in
the memories of many who bene-
flied by what he did.
The choice of these two men is
basically the same as yours and
mine, for, quoting John Oxenham
again,
ITO every man there openeth
A high way and a low,
And every man decideth
The way his soul shall go"
Your destiny hangs trembling in
the balance of the choice you make.
Make yours wisely.

bination of liquids that is espe-
cially appealing, to you (sour
cream, tomato juice, stock, vine
gar or water are few that may
be used individually or blended).
Add seasonings to the liquid if
desired. Choose the seasonings
carefully but tastefully try
garlic, herbs, spices, pimento, ripe
olives, onion, or tomatoes (alone or
in combination) remember
ing that subtle is the word for
good seasoning. Steam the brown
chicken until fork tender. Serve
with the liquid as is for an en-
hancing sauce or thickened gravy.
The result is bound to be a high
ly menuable entree that needs
only a tossed salad and crusty roll
for complete mealtime satisfac-
ton.
There will continue to be an
abundance of fresh vegetables this
month. Peaches head the list of
fruits. However, there will be
more bananas on the market with
prices lower, and lemons viii con-
tinue plentiful. Canned ripe
olives end the list of plentiful
foods. Try black olive sauce as
a flavor accent to broiled chicken.
Start by combining melted butter
and fiour-3 tablespoons flour for
every 2 tablespoons butter (this
ratio is important because some
of the thickening quality of the
-four is lost in browning). Cook
over low heat until thoroughly
Drowned, stirring frequently. Add
1 cup consomme for each table,
spoons flour used, bring to boiling
point, cook about minutes until
thick. Season to taste with salt
and pepper, add IL black olives,
sliced for each cup consomme.

Swimming Is
Great Sport
For Elderly

ELMIRA, N. Y. (AP)-When the
gray hair and wrinkles begin to
show, "get in the SWIM" advises
great at-grandmother
Swimming keeps her young, says
Mrs. Archie W. Lamb. Admitting
60-odd years, Mrs. Lamb swims
and dives three nights a week at
the YWCA pool.
Until three years ago, Mrs. Lamb
couldn't swim and was afraid to go
over her depth in the water.
1t took a lot of courage to join
the swimming class, she relates,
but she told herself: I'm not get
ting any younger so ] may as well
do IL now"
Mrs. Lamb recommends SWIM
ming for elderly folks.
''As you know" she says when
you get older, your circulation
slows down and this swimming is
excellent for stimulation. You can't
beat swimming for relaxation and
recreation"
At times, she says, she practical
ly dragged herself to the pool, but
swimming washed all my tired
ness away. In fact, since I have
been swimming, I've never slept so
we'll"
Mrs. Lambs favorite stroke is
the back crawl. But she has mas
tered many strokes.

ITO every man there openeth a high
way and low,
And every man decideth the way
his soul shall 60"
The month of August is rich in
memories for the people of the
Pennsylvania area where / lived
for thirty years before establish
ing my residence here in Delaware.
1t is the area centering around Oil
City where just ninety-nine years
ago discovery was made that has
played major role in the rapid
industrial development of our ma
tion. Lend me your ears-I will
tell you about it.
One Sunday morning of August
1859 lads curiosity led him to go
to a spot beside a creek near his
home where a group of adventur-
ers under the direction of a Col
onel Drake were drilling hole
deep into the ground. Little did the
lad realize what is was all about,
but he was tremendously curious.
His curiosity was rewarded. AS he
looked into the hole that was be-
ing drilled he saw dark liquid
gurgling up from below and over
flowing at the top. In that over
flow he was the first to see oil OBJ
Rtained by the drilling of a well.
In his immaturity the lad at
tached little Importance to what
he Lad seen. Nevertheless discoy-
ry OF epochal significance had been
made, a discovery revolutionizing
industry and changing and enrich
ing the lives of people almost ev-
erywhere in the world, for out of
that overflow came our machine
age which moves on the wings of
oil. Out of that overflow came
gasoline and our great autOmotive
industry as well as countless by
products of oil that contribute so
abundantly to the ease and COM
fort of modern living.
The first well-called the Drake
Well to this day-was followed
speedily by the drilling of others.
Some of these yielded such an
abundant flow of oil that in a
short span of time many landown-
ers of the area became suddenly
very wealthy. Pew of these had
the culture or. the background to
use their sudden affluence wisely.
Spendthrifts became very common.
One of these was the first of two
Pennsylvania Johnnies" we shall
weigh in the balance of our con-
sideration today.
His name was John Steele, but
in all the traditions of the oil
country he is known only as Coal
Oil Johnny" AS such he holds
the dubious distinction of having
been the industry's first spactacu-
lar spender. Falling heir at the
age of twenty to a farm with many
richly producing wells, he launch
ed series of escapades that made
him the talk of the entire nation.
