A NichoU' Worth of
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Unllfd Frsis Mlur. 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

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."

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.
