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. .

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.
Pilgrims . . . and now
I get annouey at times at people
who persist In referring to the Pil
grims of the Plymouth Colony as
"Puritans." The Puritans came
along later and settled Massachu
setts Bay Colony. They were a dif-

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.

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
