(International) A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Prut Fohir Writer FT STH MA Washington (U.R) Sen. George H. Bender, Ohio Republi can, observed in his newsletter to the folks back home that the Des Moines Regis ter and Trib une had in vited some Russian farm ers to come over and see how we plow corn and raise harman fticnois hogs. "Now," asked the senator, "will the Reds claim credit for Inventing the harvester after this trip?" Som years ago, Rep. Omar Burleson of Texas started a move to get a quiet room for prayer and mediation in the Capital building. There is such a room now. And the Democrat from Texas ays that it is well attended when the Congress has a breath er. "Unless we believe in some thing," says the man from Tex ts, "we are nothing." , construction a new Senate office building. "When it is complete," he shouted over the din, "the buil ding will be sound-proof." The Illinois Democrat, Sen. Paul Douglas, has changed his mind about those Texas million aires. A little, anyhow. He told a Senate subcommit tee hearing that a Texas outfit was willing to buy up a govern ment synthetic rubber plant. "For once," said the gentleman from Illinois, "I welcome Texas capital." Mrs. Edith Green, the new Democratic congresslady fnom Oregon, uses a green typewriter ribbon in her letters home. The other day, she gave a speech be fore the House. It was typed in green ink. Mrs. Green blushed red and said it wasn't done on purpose. "Didn't have time to change the green ribbon," she said. Rep. Thurmond Chatham, i North Carolina Democrat, was asked to make a speech at a Farm Bureau meeting. The big minds in charge of the meeting moved the date back a day and forgot to tell the speaker about the change of date. On the or iginal meeting date, in the same date, in the same room, the con gressman showed up, made a speech before another group and made a big hit. Sen. Mathew M. Neely, Demo crate from West Virginia, quite often criticizes his colleagues for making too much noise talk ing. He waited in line the other day for a chance to introduce a bill, which would create a Family Court in the District of Columbia. Finally, the senator dunked his bill in the hopper and said: "Just wanted to show my colleagues you can intro duce a bill without making a speech." Injured Pilot Removed From Sierra Ranger Post Quincy, Calif. (U.R) A dazed and bleeding pilot was taken from a remote ranger out post in the rugged Sierra to a nearby hospital yesterday, after he had crawled and stumbled to the uninhabited station after he crash-landed his failing plane.

He said he was suffering from shock, was badly bruised and cut, and that one of his arms was broken. On The Side By E. V. DURLING (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) To refer to all cigars as "sto gies" is erroneous. The stogie is a long, thin cigar made of do mestic tobacco. It originated in Washington, Pa. Shortly after that the stogie industry centered its activities in Wheeling, W. Va. and Pittsburgh, Pa. For many years all stogies were hand rolled. Now nearly all are ma chine made. However, the stogies I smoke are hand rolled and made in Pittsburgh, Pennsyl vania. Bartenders Questioning my statement that bartenders are paid "excellent salaries," a Baltimorean, so en gaged, says he is receiving $55 a week. Until recently he was paid $40 a week. That certainly is low pay for an activity re quiring so much skill and knowledge plus the possession of a pleasing personality. The wages of bartenders differ greatly. In San Francisco they are paid $80 a week and up. Quite a few San Francisco bartenders are paid $100 a week. Some even more than that. Passing By Robert Akers, distinguished Texas journalist. He was 37 when he enlisted in the United States armed services in World War II. Subsequently engaged in considerable combat duty. Was awarded the purple heart. He was in the most dangerous branch of the armed services which is, and always has been, the infantry. Remember the fol lowing lines from a celebrated song of World War I: "I didn't care what became of me, That's why I joined the in fantry, Hinky dinky parlez vous."

His favorite game was rou lette. He had a system. When Sir Arthur Sullivan was at Monte Carlo Gilbert wrote to him, "If you play roulette, back the red until it comes up twice, then back the black until it comes up twice." I don't care for roulette but the next time I go to Reno (Nev.), Monte Carlo, Havana or Deauville, I'll check the Gil bertian system for benefit of cli ents who may be interested.

So to get value, you have to be sure that every ounce of meat you. buy eats perfectly. That is why we believe you will be interested in these facts: Q. What is meat aging? A. Meat aging ts the holding and conditioning of meat until it reaches eating perfection by its own natural processes instead of sending it immediately to market. Safeway aids these processes by providing proper conditions of temperature and humidity. As explained below, natural changes take place in meat during aging ... changes that improve the eating quality. Q. Will all meat take aging? A. No. Pork and veal shouldn't be aged, and poor beef and lamb are not improved by aging. But top UlS. Government grades of bef and lamb, such as Safeway buys, benefit by aging. Q. Does aging improve meat flavor? A. Yes. During the aging of fine beef anil lamb under proper conditions, the flavor-carrying extracts in the meat tissues 'develop and permeate the meat Q. Does aging increase meat tenderness? A. Yes. Even naturally tender meat like rib roast of beef, lamb loin chops and fine steaks reaches maximum tenderness only with aging. That's because aging softens tough fibers an3 tissues makes for tender eating. Q. What aboot juiciness? " A. Meat aged under correctly controlled conditions of humidity and temperature such as you find in Safeway's Central Meat Aging Plant retains its natural juiciness. Such meat does not dry out. It shrinks less in cooking. Every bite is juicy. Q. Is an beef and lamb at Safeway properly aged? A. Yes. Safeway pioneered, at its own expense, ways to make it possible for retail stores to sell properly aged meat. Over a period of 16 years, Safeway meat experts developed meat aging procedures, plants and facilities that never before existed in the retail meat field and put them into operation in many areas throughout the country. Safeway's Central Meat-Aging Plant here is the climax of this work. For you, it means that each and every cut of Safeway meat you buy has the exact aging it requires to develop its finest eating quality. Q. How can this value difference be proved? A. Select your favorite cut of meat at your nearest Safeway. Take it home. Cook and serve it as you prefer it. Eat it and judge its value in tenderness, juiciness and flavor. If you don't like your Safeway meat for any reason whatsoever we will give you all your money back with out fuss or quibble. . 5 P 8 cf 0r 0 SAFEWAY GUARANTEED MEATS
