Wrltsr Romney, W. Va., Jan. 25 U.R) I'm here to tell vou about some line old syrup which doesn't nave any u nlo in It It's made out of corn cobs. The man who told me about it is George Williams, who used to be a senator in the West Virginia state legisla ture. Williams, who is the sixth genera- tUnnsn Nichols tion of his fam ily to live in the auaint old farm house near here, says that the recipe for syrup-al-a-cob has been handed down by mouth in his family for many, many years. "And why," he asks with some reason, "should a body pay $5. a gallon for maple syrup when you can make your own for a few cents?" , The Senator, as everybody in Romney, a town of 2,000, still calls him, has this recipe for "corncob syrup." You go out In the cob house, if you have a cob house, and pick out eight, or 10 nice, clean red corn cobs, Troops Indonesian Kill Two Rebels Jakarta, Indonesia, Jan. 25. (U.R) Indonesian troops killed two rebels and wounded another in a raid today on Jakarta house, republican army headquarters announced. A number of prisoners, 40 ma chine guns, large quantities of ammunition and several vehicles also were taken, the announce ment said. The raided house was believed to be a hideout for the private army of renegade Dutch Capt. R. B. Wcsterling which attacked and temporarily occupied the west Java city of Bandoeng Mon day. - Insuring Of Something Illegal Is Questioned I Denver, Colo., Jan. 25. (U.R) State officials today mulled over the question of whether It is legal to insure something illegal. The point was raised by a Colorado businessman, who wrote to State Insurance Com missioner Luke J. Kavanaugh for permission to have his slot machines insured by Lloyd's of London. Slot machines are not legal in Colorado. Kavanaugh said he would ask the stute attorney general for an opinion. "Thus Is unique," he said. "I've never had anything like it before." break either You wash them and them into little pieces. with a knife or if you're strong enough, with your hands and put a half gallon of water on the stove to boil; cobs in. Watch the water and when it simmers to one quarter, strain it off and throw, the cobs away. "I call that cob liquor," said Williams. You take this stuff, which by this time is a dark amber color, and add to it two pounds of white sugar and one pound of brown sugar. You boil this until you have a syrup. "That's all there Is to it," the former state senator said. "When you get through you have about the finest maple syrup you'd ever want to find." The "Senator" is sure right. On hot biscuits, it was fine. Williams' production is strictly private. ' Ran Into Difficulties At one time he had thought of going into commercial output. He thought he naa some line con nections with the food and drug administration in Washington, but he ran into difficulties. The F.D.A. fellows all accept ed gallon samples of his home mudc product and reported back that it was swell stuff, but they wouldn't put their conclusions on paper. finally ne wurmea a wiuieu report out of the administra tion. It said, in effect, that the syrup tasted fine on buckwheat cakes and the like but the food and drug people couldn't, under the law, go along with calling anything made out of corn cobs "maplo syrup." That made Williams pretty sore. He got madder as he read along in the dispatch from the f'.u.A. Not Imitation The administration suggested that he call his delicious con coction "imitation maple syrup. That was when the former state senator o West Virginia popped his roof. tie said that he wasn t making imitation manic syrup, but corn cob syrup, and would the maple people, if they felt that way about it, maybe like to have their product called "Imitation corncob syrup?" Something like," he told me, "a maker of a fine corncob pipe having the mitent office dub it an Imitation briar." Just that silly. American People Said 'Tired7 By Portland Minister The American people are gen erally a tired people, perpetually keyed up by the fast tempo of contemporary living, Dr. Law rence E. Nye, Portland clergy man, told members of the Med ford Rotary club in a luncheon address here Tuesday. The pastor of Portland's First Methodist church spoke at the Hotel Jackson on the subject: "Letting Up Without Letting Down," In which he stressed the importance of learning the value of time. It is especially neces sary to realize the value of spare time, Dr. Nye emphasised. Judi cious use of time for relaxation, the development of hobbies, and the ability to take a spiritual re fuge from the trials and tribula tion of living are essential to physical and mental health, he said. Fear Causes Fatigue It is fear, along with plain monotony in today s living, that cause fatigue. The simple answer is rest, the speaker said, and the ability to like both work and play. Most people look inward too much and not outward enough, and a new attitude of mind can and must be sought and the wise use of time can enable even the busiest person to replenish expended energy so vitally needed, the clergyman said. Prayer is the greatest single force today, he stated, and it is needed for physical strength as well as peace of mind. Dr. Nye reminded Rotarlans that Abra ham Lincoln relied greatly upon prayer in the hectic days of his presidency. The Rev. Meredith A. Groves, pastor of the First Methodist church of this city, was chair man for the day and introduced the speaker. Rotary's new pres ident, James Dunlevy, presided. Five In Family Die As Fire Razes Home Hatboro, Pa., Jan. 25. (U.R) Five family members perished in a fire today despite the heroic efforts of the parents to save their three small children. One of the victims, Mrs. Claire Morrow, 39, had reached the safe ty of outdoors only to die when she rushed back into the blazing building to help her family. A neighbor tried to stop her but failed.
