"A Youthful Column
Doris Ann McGill —
• Hi Kids.
Let's get on the beam and see
what’s on the jive side.
Rain, rain, go away, come again
some other d?y.
Who—Who did I see at the park
the 4th—Why was every one acting
so dead? After all guys and girls
there’s a war on.
FLASH—FLASH
The dinner party given by Mary
Carter, 954 N. 28th Ave. in honor
of Miss Betty Davis was strictly sharp
—semi formal and everyone had plen
ty to eat drink and lots of fun fol
lowed by dancing. Romanceing, it
lasted till twilight time. Couples were
Miss Betty Davi-sJ. C. Hunter, Mary
*Carter-James C.-, Jackson, Er
ma Pettis-Doris Ann McGill-Vergil
Mitchel Betty Stewart-Bubby Jones
Bobby Owens Johnetta Williams-Bet
ty Smith Harold Matthews. Others
Gilda Thomas, Robert Montgomery.
Everyone knockedthemselves out.
Congratulations to L. Ceveny for
writing such a nice column. Good
deal. Keep up the good work.
Have you noticed anything new.
If not do so today. Who are the cer
tain girls that dress alike the 4th,
wore their stomach’s out and are go
ing for cousins? Come out to the
light girls, make ourselves known.
Mop—Mop To—Loud Talk
Loud talk is wirtten by Nona Mae
Robbins other words (Jerry) so I am
just like the duck I don’t give a
quack about what you say. What
you say in your column.
And if you don’t know any kids
you should never write the paper be
cause tis only a drag to try to know
them so let’s not talk so much. I also
agree with L. E. Get your own ideas
about writing column. I have mine
in the Chatter Box.
So glad — So Lewis Curren and
Frank Cottell passed. Good luck, boys,
and happy landing.

says there’s nothing a coon can do
for me—your my color but you ain’t

Who was the certain body who
asked for a shine and the shiner re
fused to take pay but asked the body

Highest Monument
The highest monument in the
world is the Washington monument
which is 555 feet. The highest struc
ture of any kind is the Eiffel Tower
in Paris finished in 1889 and being
989 feet high.
Air Markers
Air markers are most effective on
flat roofs, it is said. Chrome yellow
on dead black background is the ac
cepted combination for most visibil
ity. Orange is no longer recom
mended.
Talc Uses
Tale, the basis of face powder,
has important war uses.

Valley of Death
Although frequently mistaken for
the setting of the famous poem of
the same name, the Valley of Death
in the island of Java is simply the
crater of an extinct volcano, filled
with carbonic acid gas. It is half i
mile in circumference.
Saved Fats
There’s nothing new about saving
kitchen fats in wartime—Martha
Washington and other good house
wives of Revolutionary war days
carefully skimmed off the fat and
put it to good use back in 1776.
Keeps Cake Moist
Frosting on a cake is more than
a .“treat.” It helps to keep the cake
moist as well. For professional look
ing cake, apply frosting as follows:
1. Allow cake to cool, and brush off
loose crumbs. Spread frosting even
ly and fairly thin over sides with
spatula or knife. 2. Pile remainder
on top. spreading lightly toward
edges, leaving most of the frosting
in the center. 3. Run spatula over
sides again to fill in any spaces and
to set frosting in place. 4. Let frost
ing “set” well before putting cake
away or attempting to cut it.
4-8-84
^Railroaders identify various types of
locomotives by the number and arrange
ment of wheels from front to rear. The Union
Pacific locomotive pictured above is known
as a ''4-8-8-4''... two pairs of small wheels
in front, then four pairs of driving wheels
followed by a similar unit, and two pairs
of smaller wheels in the rear—not includ
ing the tender.
The "4-8-8-4" type isUnion Pacific's largest
and heaviest steam locomotive; informally
christened "Big Boy" by the men who built
it. This giant of the rails is 132 feet in length
and weighs approximately 600 tons. Water
capacity is 25,000 gallons; fuel 28 tons.
A fleet of 25 "Big Boys" is now in Union
Pacific service. Built primarily to haul heavy
freight loads on western mountain grades,
they have proved invaluable in transport
ing tremendous quantities of war materials
over the Strategic Middle Route, uniting
the East with the West Coast.
The "Big Boy” is a typical example of Amer
ican industrial skill and labor, sparked by
the spiritof individual enterprise; the spirit
that 65,000 Union Pacific employes are
workin^pad fighting to keep alive, to build
a brighMuture for your America.

Painting Cellar Steps
When cellar steps are dark and
risky to descend and mount, it is a
good plan to paint the edges of the
treads with a band of white or alu
minum paint to increase their visi
bility. It is also a good idea to paint
the bottom step a solid white.

Hairy indigo is a promising sum

It was introduced into this country
several years ago by the USDA.
