Butter Baked Carrots
A friend fixed these for us in
New York a while back and
they're really something to write
home about. The bits of chopped
onion and celery add zest, but
it's really the butter that does
it .

size carrots in three-fourths cup
water in a sauce pan until ten

Steaks, Roast and Stew
All From One Leg of Lamb
Holiday meal planning which
almost always includes at least
one roast can be kept down to
an inexpensive level with care
ful planning. For instance, take
a succulent whole leg of lamb
and presto three different
meals.
Buy a full-cut leg of lamb and
ask your meat-man to cut off
a few lamb steaks and to cut
through the shank leaving about
a pound of meat on the bone.
1. Broil the lamb steaks just
as you would loin chops. Serve
sizzling hot with broiled pine
apple slices.
2. Here's your holiday lamb
roast just the easy-to-serve cen
ter portion of the leg. Stick with

and serve with potatoes and

3. For another good meal, cut
the meat from the shank into
cubes. Use these tender, bone
less pieces of lamb in an Irish
stew, for lamb curry or shish
kabob (marinated and grilled on
skewers with green pepper, on
ions and tomatoes.)
Added suggestion: Leftover
bones and bits of meat make
wonderful 'stock for barley soup.
Jam and Jelly Go-Togeihers
With poultry use blueberry
jam, quince, currant , orange,
grape or guava jelly, apple but
ter, orange marmalade, pineap
ple jam and jelly. Pass them
in your prettiest glass dish or
used to add flavor and color
interest to sauces, gravies, for
garnish or glaze.
With any meat you'll find ap
ple butter, apple or guava jelly
"right out of the jar" perfect.
With beef currant jelly is par
ticularly tasty.
With pork enjoy apple butter,
annle or currant jelly. With ham
try pineapple jam and jelly,1
apricot jam and jelly, orange
marmalade or cherry jam.
With veal currant jelly is the
tried and true favorite.
..With lamb mint jelly, of
course. But also consider pine
apple jam or jelly, currant,
grape or orange jelly.
With fish and shellfish green
gage plum jam is superb.
Venice (U.R) The next time
you step into a romantic gon--dola
in this "queen city of the
Adriatic" you may find it pow
ered by an outboard motor.
Gondoliers, fighting a losing
battle against a mechanized age,
talk of little else these days.
Thirty of the 428 surviving
"artists of the single oar" said
flatly they would spend the win
ter getting their gondolas motor
ized for the next tourist season.
They would be cunning little
motors. An unsuspecting tourist
would hardly notice them. The
gondolier would operate the ac
celerator with a foot pedal, using
his slender oar only as a rudder.
But the innovation would be
a major revolution, and it might
be the swan song of the silent,
dragon-headed craft which sym
bolize this city of lagoons.
Since their heyday in the 16th
century when 10,000 gondolas
plied the canals, Venice's straw
hatted gondoliers have been
fighting a losing battle to keep
their 85C-year-old calling alive.
Careers Shortened
Down to 1,000 in 1900, they
had slipped to 600 at the start
of World War II and are 428
today.
Even the active life of the ex
isting gondoliers is shortened.
With their delicate wooden craft
jostled by speeding motorboats
on the canals they have to kneel
repeatedly- on their precarious
perches to keep their balance.
This is knocking out gondoliers
at the age of 50 whereas .they
used to go on to far riper years.
The advent of the internal
combustion engine, forced the
real crisis. Today only roman
tics, lovers and tourists are pre
pared to favor the slow and ex
pensive gondola over the motor
boats that chug on the canals at
speeds far in excess of the three
m.p.h. limit laid down by city
laws.
The gondoliers predict a city
of neon lights, roaring exhausts
and smelly gasoline fumes if the
authorities do not act to curb
the motorboats which are ruin
ing their trade.
Portland Concerned
Over Transit Fate
Portland (U.R) Members of
the Portland city council yester
day expressed concern over the
fate of mass transportation in
the city.
Commissioner Stanley W. Earl
said he feared Portland might
be without public transportation
on Feb. 1. That is the date the
franchise now held by Portland
Traction Company expires and
the council had indicated it does
not wish to extend the fran
chise. Earl said the PTC would be
holding a "loaded gun" at the
city if there is no progress
toward granting a new franchise
either to PTC or a new firm by
that time.
Both Earl and Commissioner
Ormond Bean urged that nego
tiations be initiated at once to
resolve franchise differences.
East German Reds
Threaten Soldiers '
Berlin (U.R) East German
Communists threatened yester
day to take action against Amer
ican soldiers entering East Ber
lin, the "capitol of the German
Democratic Republic."
The threat came in angry com
mentaries on the acquittal yes
terday by a U. S. Army court
martial of two soldiers the Com
munists accused of attacking an
East Berlin actor.
The two soldiers involved
were Pvt. William J. Holden, 19,
of Poplarville, Miss., and Pvt.
Richard L. Calbert, 22, of Kansas
City, Mo.
They were arrested by the
Communists Dec. 7 and accused
of knocking out actor Werner
Lierck outside a bar in the So
viet sector.
They were acquitted when
they told the court martial
Lierck called one of them an
"American swine" and started to
attack. They pleaded self de
fense.
Captive kangaroos are easily
taught to box men in exhibitions,.
The main problem is teaching
them to forego their terrible
kick.

"People don't come to Venice
to hurry," old gondoliers say.
"It is the only city in the world
where you can be really tran
quil." : ' ;
Various Protest!
They point out that the motor
boats cause a wash that is under
mining the city's ancient pal
aces. The gondoliers have tried all
sorts of campaigns to press home
their' point.
They staged a mass parade
along the Grand Canal to the
ducal palace in 1949. Each gon
dolier was decked out in tra
ditional robes with flaring sash
at the waist and each gondola
carried a placard of protest.
In 1950 Venice woke up to
find not a single gondola in
sight.
"Do you like Venice like this?"
A gondoliers' deputation asked
the city fathers. "Carry on the
way you are going and the only
gondolas left will be in the mu
seums." And in 1951 the gondoliers
staged "the death of the gon
dola." The great parade of grace
ful 30-foot boats wound down to
the ce .tral square. In their midst
was a boat with a gondola up
turned in the form of a coffin.
A few minutes later seven
gondolas equipped with noisy
outboard motors and no silencers
on their exhausts roared down
the Grand Canal. The racket was
awful and a point was scored.
CASTOR OIL HISTORY
Buffalo, N. Y. '(U.R) Junior
probably would like to get his
hands on the guy who rediscov
ered castor oil. Castor oil first
was used in ancient Egypt in
1500 B.C. Then it became lost for
more than 3,000 years. It did
not turn up again for medicinal
use until the middle of the 18th
Century, (Arner Co.) research
ers say. Modern science has made
it more palatable however.
Scientific Survey
Of Hunting, Fishing
Will Begin Jan. 7
Washington U.R) The first
scientific survey of hunting and
fishing as an industry will be
begun Jan. 7, the National Wild
life Federation has announced.
The study is designed to find
out how many hunters and fish
ermen there are in the nation,
how much time they devote to
the sports, and how much money
they spend in the activities.
Supervised by the Fish and
Wildlife Service of the U.S. De
partment of Interior, the survey
will be conducted by Crossley,
S-D Surveys, Inc., of New York
City. Crossley will take a nation
wide sampling of . outdoor
sportsmen and calculate national
estimates from these figures. -
In announcing the proposad
study, the federation said the re
sults are expected to be of "great
strategic importance in defend
ing wildlife resources against
competing pressures for the use
of lands and waters. ;
The most publicized dispute
was over Air Force plans to use
the Arkansas range in Texas,
wintering ground of the almost
extinct whooping crane, as a
practice bombing area. The Air
Force dropped the idea last Oc
tober after heated protests from
conservationists.
Other advantages from the
survey, will be a clearing up of
questions confronting legislators
and conservation agencies for
years and information for future
programs in game and fish man
agement, the federation said.
It is now known that more
than 30,000,000 hunting and
fishing licenses are sold in the
nation each year. Many persons,
however, are allowed to hunt or
fish without licenses because of
age or special exemptior that
vary in the states. The annual
contribution to the natior busi
ness by hunting and fishing has
been estimated at from $5,000,
000,000 to 511,000,000,000, the
federation said. q
