she might lose her legs. Both legs were deeply frozen after
her car stalled near Fullerton, Neb., and the girl walked four
miles in deep snow and 30 below zero cold before finding
help at a farmhouse. Menacing dogs kept her away from two
farms earlier, she said. (UPI)

The weather inside is delightful. In
the summer, too. You can imitate a con

lower the Bree:eway window all the way.
The effect is most refreshing and will
make ponytails stand out straight. But
over the long haul, you'll appreciate the

air moves in and out. Coolly. Quietly.

Maggots Not Only Repulsive,
But Anti-Social Insects. Too
. The "one for all and all for
one" principle doesn't apply
in that order of living things
we call the maggots. In spite
of the fact that they, like
ants, bees, termites and many
varieties of wasps, would
seem to be a united group,
we just could not call the
maggots "social insects.'' The
repulsive little demons have
some of the instinctive desire
to stay together in a loosely
organized group, but each
weather? "

Around Us
By LYNN M. W ATKINS
(Register and Tribunt
Syndicate, 1963)
larva is really only interested
in its own person survival.
There is no thought, or de
sire, to further the welfare of
the colony as in the case with
the genuine social insects.
bach individual maggot is
only interested in its own
preservation.
The group of ants, bees or
termits always works for the
good of the colony, each con
tributing its bit, regardless
of how small, to the better
ment of the entire organiza
tion. There is no such thing
as selfishness in the ranks of
the social insects. They will
even sacrifice their own life,
if need be, to help the others.
The honeybee will whip her
wings to tatters, will willingly
shorten her brief life just to
add her contribution to the
community. The termites and
the ants will do the same, as
will some of the wasps.
Fine Cooperation
These social inrccts have
brought cooperation to a high
degree of almost absolute
perfection. In fact, ihcy serve
as a lesson even to humans.
"Go to the ant, thou slug
gard, consider her ways and
be wise," is not just a group
of meaningless words, it is a
principle many of us could
well imitate. Industry is a
way o life to the ant, bee
and termite.
But the maggots, the repul
sive, naked worms that
crawl in and out," all the time
eating that which is evil, just
to develop into flying insects
that will later search out
other decayed flesh upon
which to lay their eggs to pro
duce more maggots, have no
consideration for their broth
ers and sisters which attempt
to live and carry out the
samp purpose alongside them.
The female fly that lays her
eggs in decayed meal has no
thought or consideration for
the offspring that will later
hatch from those egg.?.
Feast Returned
Immediately aftcE the off
spring rmrrge from the egg,
they begin their gruesome
feast, having no appetite for
solid or healthy tissue and no
taste for that which in fresh
but only interested in that
which is putrid. In their low
ly and repulsive way they
serve a definite purpose in Na
ture's scheme o livimj even
though they only feed on that
which Is dead.
There may be hundreds,
even thousands, of maggots in
a single animal carcass, busily
eating only that flesh that is
decomposing and seemingly
trying to remain in a sroun.
hut not interested in anv
other member.
Most of us view the mag
gots in decayed flesh in abject
horror; mostly we would deny
the fact that these little things
have been used to clean out
"proud flcfh" from wounds
in human beings. Maggots
raised under sterile condition)!
have been introduced into
open wounds and, following
Ihe rtirlalps of Ihpir appetites,
have avoided healthy tissue
but cleaned out that which
was decayed.
The larva of the fly, called ;
the maggot, works only for
Itself; it goes aione. interested i
only in itself, wanting only
to feed, not caring what hap

this isn't anti-social, it cer
tainly is magnified selfish

Hubbard Squash
Is Baked Treat
Hubbard squash because of
its size is usually displayed
;f!and purchased by the piece,
the shopper estimating the
numoer oi necueu M-rviugs.
Have Hubbard squash at
room temperature, fieai oven
to 400 degrees. Wash squash
rind, wipe cut surface with a
damp paper towel if needed
and remove seeds.
Cut squash in three to
j four inch squares. Select a
i baking pan for cooking the
; squash either .covered or un
covered. Allow approximatc
i ly 45 minutes for squash
which is covered for part of
the baking time and about
one hour for squash baked
uncovered. Sprinkle squash
with salt. Pour a little hot
water into the pan and cover
if this method is desired.
Bake until squash is partly
done, about 25 minutes for
covered squash and 40 min
utes if uncovered. Remove
squash ' from oven, score
pieces and dot generously
with butter and sprinkle with
brown sugar. A few grains of
nutmeg may be added if you
like. Return squash to oven
and continue baking uncover
ed until done. .
Honey Hints
Honey comes in a variety
of flavors so purchase the one
that appeals most. The color
of honey ranges from almost
white to golden tan. Light
amber honey, golden in color,
is available in many brands.
It is known as the all-purpose
honey. Be sure to read the la
bels as the words "light am
ber" indicate color only - not
flavor.
Honey purchased in large
containers is a budget watch
er's dream. It is a natural,
simple sugar guaranteed to
give you zip and lasting ener
gy quickly. Honey does not
spoil. Do not refrigerate. It
contains all the vitamins and
minerals it needs for its own
perfect digestion.
Hot Tomato - A satisfying
soup for sipping. In saucepan,
combine one can condensed
beef broth, one can condensed
tomato soup, IVi soup cans
water, one bay leaf and one-
fourth teaspoon celery salt.
Heat; simmer a few minutes
to blend flavors. Pass crisp
crackers.

Winter Peart Recommended
Among our favorite"wecks"
of the year is "National Kraut
and Frankfurter Week"
which is currently being cele
brated and that means special
displays and special prices
that make this combo a bud-
geteers delight. Our only fur
ther suggestion is that hot
from - the - oven cornbtead
or corn muffins made with a
popular muffin mix adds to
this super specialty. Personal
ly, we add finely chopped
onions and finely chopped ap
ple to the sauerkraut, layer
it with split frankfurters and
pour over all, maybe a cup of
California sauternc; simmer
gently or bake in casserole.
Plenty of potatoes put
them in hearty February
meals often. Give the men of
the family a childhood - re
membered treat with old-fashioned
country - fried potatoes.
They're sliced raw, fried in
flavorful bacon fat with salt
and pepper and maybe finely
chopped onion added. Scal
loped potatoes too are a long,
time family favorite.
Eggs, an efficient source of
nigh quality protein, are in
abundant supply locally. They
are of high quality, packed
with good nutrition. Grade
labeling is your best guide
to egg quality. For a change,
read all the information on
the egg carton. Size has noth
ing to do with quality. Send
the family to school and to
work well fortified with
solid breakfast that includes
a couple of eggs.
Winter pears are displayed
in abundance; far more than
usual at this season. They're
of excellent quality, surpris
ingly low in price. The best
known winter pears are An
jou, Bosc, Cornice anw Winter
Nelis. Enjoy them out-of-hand
in salads, in desserts.
Fine coast-caught fish and
shellfish offer great variety,
They're sea bass, swordfish
a variety of fish fillets, fish
sticks. Oysters are plentiful
and quality is the best. Now
is peak season for enjoyment
of Dungencss crab.
Vegetables and fruit: Consid
er plentiful potatoes, onions
topped carrots, lettuce, a var
iety of squashes, sweet pota
toes, cauliflower and celery
Crisp red and golden apple!
grapes, winter pears, grape
fruit and bananas invite in
spection and enjoyment. Nav
al oranges despite cold weath
er are good buys.
