An airliner travels 464,000 miles
per year, compared to an average
Pullman distance of 145,000 miles.
Since Pearl Harbor the number of
civil pilots In the United States has
Increased about 400 per cent, from
100,800 in 1941 to 400,000 last year.
The past year America’s swarm of
civilian planes increased nearly 122
per cent. The planes and pilots are
aided by nearly 5,000 farmers who
voluntarily make dally observations
for the U. S. weather bureau.

Need Running Water
Running water still is lacking In
75 per cent of the farm homes of the
nation. Only 5 per cent of city homes
lack running water. A farm family
of five with a fair amocr.it of live
stock uses about 300 tons of water in
a year if they have to pump and
cany it by hand. If the farm had
running water and electric pumps
the same family would use probably
twice as much water and have none
of the effort of transporting tans of
water by hand.

Forest E. Grover,
City Engineer
Council Bluffs, Iowa
I believe now, as I have al
ways believed, that the Alder
man-At-Large should know
what is going on in all wards
and be willing to assist the wa
rd alderman, regardless
what party he may! be a mem
ber of.
He should also be able to
know whether or not the City
is getting full value for the
money being spent, and to
investigate it before voting.
I feel that the Alderman
should consider themselves as
members of the Board of Dir
ectors of the largest business
in our citykthat of City Gov
ernment—and vote according
ly.
I am not in' favor of making
a lot of promises to the pub
lic that I know I cannot be
fulfilled, and I believe in fair at
all times to my constituents.

I DO NOT'BELIEVE/IN

Spray Mosquito Swamps
Mosquitoes are effectively con
trolled by DDT. According to a de
partment of agriculture report,
“the most reliable method of apply
ing larvicides over a wide range of
conditions is by means of spray
ers." The wet, swampy mosquito
breeding areas should be sprayed.
Much relief can be obtained around
the home by spraying screens, trees
and shrubs where the mosquitoes
light. Any good sprayer can be used
depending upon the amount of
spraying to be done. The same
sprayer also may be used for other
purposes.

• \ou Can Help The Easter Bunny
Make His Magic Fondant Eggs
| T>E sure the Easter bunny, when
•D he visits your house has plenty
of candy eggs. It isn’t hard to re
plenish his supply, and even the
: children can help, if you make them
■ with sweetened condensed milk fon
‘ dant. The recipe is magically fail
ure-proof — the fondant is always
> smooth and creamy, easy to handle,
■■ and never grainy or coarse.
Big eggs of fondant, after they
have been chilled for several hours,
< can be dipped in cooled melted
chocolate, then allowed to dry on
waxed paper. Little eggs may be
decorated with melted chocolate ap
plied with a small paint brush. An
other attractive way to decorate
fondant Easter eggs is to work a
little vegetable coloring — only a
drop or two—into a small amount
of fondant Prepare pink, green, yei
low and blue fondant, and then com
bine it in pastel tinted eggs. _ _
Small baskets of tiny eggs for
place favors may be ranged around
a larger basket of larger eggs to
make a centerpiece that the chil
dren will greet with Joy, either at
an Easter week party orjrt Easter
Sunday, dinner. _\
’ If you want another easy holi
day candy, try chocolate nut balls.
They, too, are made with sweetened
condensed milk, and are as luscious
and creamy as a confectioner’s spe
cialty.
Magic Fondant Eggs
2/3 cup sweetened condensed mlllc
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
Blend sweetened condensed milk
and vanilla. Add confectioners’ sug
ar gradually, mixing until smooth
and creamy. Form into eggs, little
and big.
Magic Chocolate Nut Balls
2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened
chocolate
1-1/3 cups (15-oz. can) sweetened
condensed milk
Nut meats, chopped
Melt chocolate in double boiler.
Add sweetened condensed milk and
stir over boiling water 5 minutes
until mixture thickens. Cool for 5
minutes. Drop by teaspoonfuls Into
finely chopped nut meats. Roll until
well covered with nuts. Let stand in
the refrigerator for two hours. A
drop or two of peppermint may be
added to part of the mixture to give

Kise in Cancer
During the past 25 years, cancer

year and of the total population of
140 million now living, some 17 mil

Build Own Highways
Every citizen of Guatemala is re
quired to contribute the equivalent
of two weeks’ work, either in money
or in labor, toward upkeep of the
country’s road system. Guatemala,
which grows a large part of the

the first of the Central American re
publics to have a highway from
border to border.
New Oyster Stuffing
Oysters long have been trading
their shells for the protection of a
tin can so they might move into the
markets of the world. Now they’re
teaming up with bread and season
ing to make their bow as a stuffing
for use with fowl, meat or fish. The
meal planner merely has to empty
the contents into a bowl, fluff with a
fork and the stuffing is ready. Be
sides oyster slices, this dressing
contains bread crumbs, salt, butter,
nut meats, ham and bacon fat, suet,
sage, onions, curry and pepper.
Cariboo Becoming Bare
Fifteen caribou are reported In
northern Minnesota, only two of
which are natives. Maine’s flock
disappeared in 1908. The caribou
are very good swimmers despite
their slender legs due to buoyancy
gained from their tubular hair
which acts like a life preserver for
them.

Nature of Wool
What is wool? It is the hair ok
the sheep, an animal fiber, a pro
tein substance. It ranks topmost in
Its field and its varied utilization in
the wearing apparel industry is so
great as to assure its pre-eminence
in the manufacture of both smart
and utility clothing, especially
where protection from cold is essen
tial. There are substitutes for wool,
one of the most successful being
Lanital, an artificial fiber made in
Italy in 1936. Another, produced in
the United States in 1940, is called
Aralac. Both substitutes are made
from casein, a product of skimmed
milk.
Platinum Foxes Possible
By depriving ordinary silver
foxes of one of the "B” gfoup of
vitamins, it is possible to obtain a
platinum fox. This discovery was
made at University of California.
However, the platinized foxes do
not produce furs so durable as the
Norwegian variety. The only fox
that Is being raised commercially
to any great extent In the United
States is the silver fox. Perhaps
they lend themselves to confine
ment better than most wild ani
mals. The grey fox is much slower
(than the red fox. The red fox has
been known to cover a given dis
tance at the rate of 30 miles pex~
hour.
