Washington (U.R) Sen.
George H. Bender, Ohio Republi

to the folks
back home
that the Des

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

thing," says the man from Tex
ts, "we are nothing." ,

"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.
Link Peckinpah, ranger in the
Plumas National forest, said the
pilot, David Arrowsmith, San
Francisco, was taken out by an
ambulance team from the West
ern Pacific hospital at Portola,
about 20 miles east of here.
He said he was suffering from
shock, was badly bruised and
cut, and that one of his arms
was broken.
On The Side

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."

System
W. S. Gilbert of Gilbert and!
Sullivan was a gambling enthus

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

U Difference in Meat ValueToday
Prices of top grade meats are pretty much the same
everywhere. 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.
