TODAY and ivy; FRANK PARKER fptov" ST STOCK &RID6t sSC Food Emergency The Pilgrims were hard put to it for food, more than once. That is vtiy they established Thanksgiving Day, to celebrate the first year in which they had enough to eat But out of their necessity they devel oped a variety of foods which have become American staples. The Indians taught them how to get sugar from the maple trees, and how to cook the swamp cranberries. It must have been one of the Pil grim mothers who first made jelly out of the beach plums that grow so profusely on the sandy shores of Cape Cod Bay. Certainly the Amer ican taste for clams, in chowder or on the half shell, harks back to Plymouth Colony, as well as our national taste for salt codfish. I know few foods so palatable as a properly made codfish cake, but maybe that's Just my Yankee up bringing. Indian corn was new to the Pilgrims, but out of it they evolved Johnnycake which is as different from cornbread as chalk from cheese and its improvement, blueberry Johnnycake. But I wish I knew who invented that supreme dessert, Rhode Island Pandowdy. I'd try to get his or her statue into the Hall of Fame. Beer Evaporated One thing the Pilgrims yearned for and couldn't make was beer. They wrote back to their patrons in England, asking them to please send some beer by the next ship. A tragic-comic episode In history over which I have often smiled, was the fate of that beer, as recorded by Governor Bradford. The beer was shipped, all right many hogs heads of it. But it was a long and stormy and apparently thirsty voyage. For when the ship reached Plymouth all the beer barrels wre empty. The captain thought the beer must have evaporated! Not until trade began with the West Indies and rum and molasses began to be imported did the New England settlers get anything they thought fit to drink. . Life Russian Law Front Drape Featured iiiHiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiniinmiuiii NEW YORK The feature of this new two-piece afternoon dress is the front drapery of the skirt of plum purple silk crepe which starts, it will be noticed, in the silk lame overblouse of antique gold. The hat is of gold lam ef ferent sort of folk, religiously and otherwise, from the Pilgrims. They took fewer chances, for one thing. When I think of the courage of the Pilgrims and the gallant fight they made against almost over whelming odds, I wonder how much of that spirit of independenca still persists. I find it narxl to imagine any group of young men and wo men of today cutting loose from all their old ties and associations and facing starvation and terrilhc hard ships merely because they felt that their right to act and believe as they thought right was being infringed by authority. I wonder if life hasn't become so easy for us in America that we lose sight of its real values. I've never been able to believe that dollars can compensate for the sacrifice of independence and convictions. M-m-m ! Turkey Dressing ! Here's How to Make It I've just been reading the most illuminating book about Russia that I have yet seen. It is Walter Dur anty"s "I Write As I Please." I got new light on the Socialist experi ment in Russia. What strikes me most forcibly in his revelations is the supreme in difference to life, not only on the part of the ruling minority, who apply the death penalty ruthlessly for any sort of insubordination, but among the Russian people them selves. The main reason why Commun ism can't succeed in America, it seems to me, is that we set a high value on human lives. At this stage in the world's development radical; new ideals of government cannot be successfully Implanted without killing off those who don't like them and are bold enough to resist them. Thanksgiving . and fixin's Around this time of the year my New England heritage begins to assert itself. I'd like to sit down again to an old-fashioned Thanks giving dinner, with all the relations gathered around the long table, stuffing ourselves wth turkey and all the "fixin's" including, of course, three or four kinds of pie. One of my most vivid recollec tions of childhood is a Thanksgiv ing dinner at my grandmother's house in Maine, sixty years ago. Twenty-eight of her sons and daughters and their husbands and Wives and children sat around the table. We all went to church first for Thanksgiving Day was a relig ious feast-day, even more import ant than Christmas. Thanksgiving is America's own holiday. I hope Its spirit never dies out It is a good day for everybody to give a little serious thought to the roots from which we sprang.

Job "J w Whether the piece-de-resistance for Thanksgiving or Christmas din ner is to be a turkey, goose, duck, or a nice fat hen of capon, the stuff ing that goes inside it when it is roasted is of the greatest import ance to the final success of the feast, says Miss Lucy Case, foods and nu trition specialist at Oregon State college. Many families have time-honored preferences for certain kind3 of stuffing and could be satisfied with nothing else, while others prefer something different Using the fuundation recipe given below, homemakers may make any num ber of variations. Foundation Recipe for Dressing or Stuffing:: 3 cups diced or stale bread crums 3-4 cup of fat (turkey fat or but ter) 3-4 teaspoon salt 1-2 teaspoon pepper 3 teaspoons poultry 'seasoning 1 tablespoon minced parsley 2 tablespoons minced onion 1-4 cup minced celery (Mix in the order given) This makes three cups of stuffing, which is just about right for a four pound chicken, but would need to be doubled for a 10-pound turkey. Miss Case suggests the following variations, and many other3 are possible: 1. Use two cups of whole wheat bread crumbs instead of three cups of white bread, and add 2 cups of coarsely chopped walnut meats. De crease the fat to 1-2 cup. 2. For an oyster dressing, add 2 cups of drained oysters to the foun dation recipe, moisten with the oys ter liquor, and decrease the poul try sasoning 1 teaspoon. Add 4 tablespoons or lemon juice and a dash of red pepper. 3. For prune dressing, which is especially good with roast duck or goose, use the foundation recipe, decreasing the amount of butter or fat one-half. Add 1 cup of prunes which have been softened by soak ing, pitted and cut in small pieces. 4. If the fowl is not too fat, sau sage dressing makes a pleasing and different kind of dressing. For this add 1-4 pound of sausage to the foundation dressing. 5. An old southern custom is to use day-old crumbled corn bread In place of 1 1-2 cups of the white bread in the recipe. SERA Workers Get Lower Truck Fees Sixty-seven owenrs of light trucks were enabled to obtain jobs with SERA units in Oregon this year as a result of legislation enacted at the 1935 session of the legislature, ac cording to records in the office of Secretary of State Earl Snell. Under the 1935 law, SERA work ers with motor trucks of two cubic yards or less capacity are permitted to license such vehicles for a year ly fee of $5.00, instead of on a weight basis. This made employ ment possible for many who had formerly been unable to pay the higher license fee in order to have their trucks available for jobs of fered by the SERA projects. Trucks so licensed cannot be used for gainful private work and if the owner engages in other employment the regular license must be obtain ed. Endorsement of SERA direct ors is required on the application blank of the truck owner. Oregon's Economic Work Praised at Washington Oregon's accomplishments in holding farm outlook conferences and in carrying on the Bang's dis ease control program are being highly praised in the national cap ital among those in touch with this work throughout the country, re ports F. L. Ballard, vice-director of the O. S. C. extenson service who has just returned from Washing ton, D. C. Ballard was called to Washing ton several weeks ago to assist in launching a nationwide extension project for holding these outlook conferences in every agricultural county in the country. Oregon is generally recognized as being "out in front" in these cooperative pro jects, he says. Local committee work is now in progress in 23 counties of Oregon in preparation for the new series of county farm outlook conferences scheduled for early in the new year, reports W. L. Teutsch, assistant county agent leader. Grange and Farmers' Union officials as well as many other agricultural leaders are taking an active part in these ad vance arrangemests. The conferences themselves will be but part of a comprehensive pro gram of which they are the climax, Teutsch explains. At present a careful fact-finding analysis of the condition of agriculture in each county is being carried on. These facts will be assembled and studied at the conferences, where growers themselves will determine upon a sound program of agricultural prog ress for each county. The confer ence and events that follow will be designed to unite the efforts of all organizations and agencies in car rying this program into effect For Oregon that is not a new un dertaking as similar successful ef forts in this direction were carried out some 10 years ago through the series of agricultural economic con ferences. The results of those were considered so valuable during the past decade in charting Oregon's agricultural development that it is now considered timely to renew the inventory and outlook." Nationally the movement is being hailed as another progressive step in economic education which will be an important factor In achieving a more balanced and prosperous ag ricultural industry. raising money for a Christmas tree.

Annual "Post Farm" Test Shows Treatment Value The eighth year of observation and testing on a "post farm" of various woods used in fencing has been made by the school of forestry at Oregon State college, confirming earlier results as to good and bad types of treatment for posts. The most surprising new develop ment is the failure of six out of 25 incense cedar posts in only six years. While this is not the west ern red cedar more commonly used In fencing, it is a wood frequently used in southwestern Oregon, where it has been generally credited with around 20 years of life. Charred Douglas fir posts con tinue to fail about as fast as fir posts untreated. Alder without treatment were the first posts to go out entirely under the 50-pound pull to which all of the posts In the test plot are subjected annually. All but one of the cottonwoods have failed, although Cottonwood posts treated with creosote by the simple open tank method have shown no failures. Douglas fir posts treated with corrosive sublimate by placing small amounts of the chemical In one or more holes bored near the base of the posts are standing up well. Di rections for applying this treatment may be had Jree on application to tne scnool of forestry.
