The
Rambler
-. Hopes He Wusn't
Too Accommodating
BY GEORGE KENNEDY


Yesterday afternoon the
Rambler passed men walk
ing along Pennsylvania ave-
nue. with sound effects
transistor radios in their
pockets going full blast. BY
that time he remembered he
had a wager. He was losing,
but he had hopes on those
Yankees until the last in
ming.
So he lost a dollar.
But that isn't all.
He is committed.
If the Pirates win the Sc
ries he will be out 81 more.
If the Pirates avenge their
1927 humiliation by beating
the Yankees by four games
to zero, he will be out an
additional $40.
(The last time the Pirates
were in the World Series was
in 1927. Their opponents
were the Yankees. The Pi-
rates lost four games in a
row.
The Rambler is in this
hind because it's in his ma
ture to be accommodating.
Some time ago it dawned
on him that when he feels
so right that he wants to
bet, he usually loses.
His friend Jack Bender,
the contractor who is re-
building Southwest, put it
very simply. He upped with
words of wisdom after a ri
SiculOuS incident.

Plans for town house and

Washington are on the drawing
board again.
The District Government and
the Redevelopment Land
Agency cannot agree on the
layout of the 533 cooperative
housing units planned for the

streets and Delaware avenue.
Thomas K. Fullerton, Assist

the streets in the plan do not
provide the amount of access
required by the District building
code. He said the Fire Depart

trian walkway for access to
parts of the project.

wish to skip the law on this phase
at this time and comment on the
Fourth of July Weekend.
AS you read this article there
is suffering and grief all over our
State resulting from automobile ac-
cidents. The causes were of a va
riety,-speeding, side-swipes, rear
ends, and yes, hit and run. Can you
conceive of anyone striking a hu-
man being and not stopping Well,
we had one in our State and the
subject died. l am sure if you take
any one of the accidents and find
the cause you will see how it could
have been prevented. The proven
tion is simple and little time
and observance of traffic laws
would be the answer.
I'm sure you are happy that you
are safe at home with your loved
ones and as you lay this paper
down, you wonder as the dawn
breaks the darkness of the night,
Where, Who, and When will the
next life be snuffed out by the most

self stay alive in 1860? The week

Butter Mints

CLGTkSDtLLe, Nd.
Mrs. L. p, Lanhdm, Nd.
To make Butter Mints, take
8 cups sugar, l cup water, a
piece of butter the size of a
walnut, a pinch of salt.
Cook at high heat 1852 de-
grees on a candy thermom-
eter). Do not stir while
cooking. Pour on buttered
marble.
When cool enough to ham
die, pull a short time then
add IA drops of oil Of peper-
mint (it must be oil of
pepermint).
Pull until it begins to get
stiff. Make a rope of taffy
on a flat surface which has
been covered with a cloth and
cut in small pieces. Work
fast, for sometimes they go
to sugar. If this happens put
it back in the pot and add
/ cup water and melt.
Then cook as before. Mints
will be just like in the be-
ginning. After several hours
put in cookie tin for about 4
or 5 days. I just made three
patches.
They are a little trouble
to make but are worth it.

heaven help them if they

1t would be hard to live if
we allowed the emotions
which give life zing to
atrophy because of lack of

allow the negativism so
often associated with age
to settle down on us as the

If the fine edge of en-
