Robinson Tells Feelings of NAACP Former baseball star Jackie Robinson, who speaks here Mon day night for the Naacp's Free dom Fund, thinks the work of the Naacp benefits not only Negro citizens, but the entire nation, he told a press conference in New York before leaving on an 11-day Naacp tour. Recently announced national chairman of the Fight for Free dom Fund, Robinson told the newsmen, “In the present world crisis, colored peoples of the world have their eyes on Amer ica to see how Negroes are treat ed. We are expending huge sums in giving assistance to some of these peoples abroad but their real attitude will be determined in large measure by their reac tionion to the way id which the race problem is handled here at home. We need ihe support of these peoples." The Naacp, by helping to im prove conditions for Negroes in this country strengthens the pres tige of the nation among other countries, Robinson assert ed Accordingly, “white people need to support the Naacp as strongly as Ncgrocq because it means as much to them as to colored people," he said. The former professional ball star expressed appreciation - for “the contributions of the Sping arns and other white persons to the Naacp. Robinson said that his interest in the Naacp stemmed from his observation of the work of the organization while traveling a bout the country. Negroes gen eraliy, he said, “take great pride in the Naacp and its work in gaining citizenship rights." Rob inson's tour will take him to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati. St. Louis, San Francis co, Boston, Philadelphia, and At lanta. lie will wind it up March S. Industrious people are always surrounded with work.

I Winter Eggs Can Yield Profits i here are special problems that beset the poultryman in mid winter. But this is just when good management can turn prob able losses into sure profits. Hens need water nearly as < much in the winter as in the sum mer. To keep water from freez ing, an electric water system using heating tape is a good in vestment. Regardless of the type used, the waterer should be high enough from the floor to prevent contamination. Poorly ventilated hen houses create a stuffy, unhealthy atmos phere. Exhaust fans and air in takes will solve the problem-but keep direct drafts off the floor and birds. Most common management fault during winter months is overcrowding. A recent study of space requirements for laying flocks, approved by poultry hus bandry departments of all 48 land grant colleges, recommends S to 4 feet of floor space per bird, including roosting pit; also 6 to 7 inches per bird of roost space (heavy birds may require more). Four linear inches of feeder space and one individual box-nest per five birds were suggested as a minimum. — A profit-wise poultryman will allow as much room as possible to prevent feather picking and can nibalism. Maximum egg profit in winter depends also on the birds getting plenty of light. Ample window space is a good start. Electric lights controlled with a time clock will help. Poor sanitation is a widespread railing among pouitrymen. me U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates a loss of 30% to 40% in income from chickens infested with parasites. Frequent stirring of litter with hydrated lime and use of insecticide on birds and in roosts are helpful. Finally, a good winter feeding program includes all ingredients necessary to good health. For best results, use packaged feeds containing a balanced formula. As a postscript, it is suggested that flocks be rigidly culled of weak or sickly birds and eggs frequently gathered. These practices point the way to winter profits, says the Agri cultural Service Division of the Union Bag-Camp Paper Corpo ration, makers of multiwall bags for feed. Tabasco Takes To Chafing Dish Chafing dish meals are popular this time of year, for they bring warmth and hospitable odors of good things cooking right to the table. Try this Easy Tomato Cheese Rabbit now, and keep the recipe handy for frequent Lenten use. Cheese, an excellent source of protein, is inclined to be bland, and you’ll find that proper seasoning does much to improve its acceptance. T\obubly the one best seasoner is Tabasco, the liquid pepper from down south, aged and concentrated so that just a small amount picks up bland dishes and puts them into gourmet classification. Easy Tomato Cheese Rabbit 1 can condensed tomato Vi cup water soup 1 medium onion, sliced V4 teaspoon Tabasco 2 cups (Vi pound) grated Vi teaspoon dry mustard American cheesa Vi teaspoon paprika 1 egg, separated Combine tomato soup, Tabasco, dry mustard, paprika and water in top of double boiler or chafing dish. Add onion; cook over direct i^at until onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Add cheese; place over boiling water and stir until melted. Gradually stir smalt amount of not mixture into beaten egg yolk. Beat egg white until t*if f, but not dry. Add egg yolk-cheese mixture, stirring to blend well. Return to cheese mixture in double boiler and cook 6 minutes ; longer. Serve on toast points or crackers. YIELD: 4 to < servings. Florida Orange Juice Travels Whether the lunchbox is bound for school, factory or office, it's ■ good idea to include Florida orange juice. Working men and women t3 well as children need the energy and vitamin C the tasty juice provides. Put enough in the thermos container for a mid-morning pickup as well as a lunchtime treat. From every five pounds of Florida juice oranges you'll get at least ono quart of flavorful juice, thanks to their thin steins. Protect your family’s health by serving orange juice daily. $N INVENTION OF WAR CAST IRON PIPE WAS PIRST MADE IN 1313 FOR use AS CANNON. -- Atomic-sub POWER PLANTS CANpTHIR WEAPON OP WAP) ARE NOW MING DEVELOPED FOR PEACEFUL USES.

Lean beef makes wonderful dishes when braised or simmered. Meat Pie is typical of this culinary school. The longer cooking characteristic of beef pie brings out all the rich flavor and juiciness of the lean beef. And remember, it contains the same high quality complete protein, B vitamins and essential minerals as costlier cuts. MEAT PIE 1H pounds lean beef (boned 2 tablespoons chopped celery chuck, round, flank or rump) leaves 2 teaspoons salt 2 sprigs parsley % teaspoon pepper 12 small white onions, peeled 3 tablespoons flour 3 medium carrots, scraped 1 tablespoon bacon drippings and quartered 3 cups water *Biscuit topping Have beef cut in 1-inch pieces.

The fellow who sponges his way through life merely soaks up the fruits of other’s labor. The man who is left behind in the race of life is not always the last to reach his goal. Motorists should remember that even St. Christopher begins to lose faith at 90 miles an hour. It is very true that only about one man in a million catches up with that promising future. History proves that people who go to great lengths to find an easy way out usually fall short. 1 For the Home Game Room-Guest Room AN UNUSUAL wall installa tion provides game room facil ties along with a guest closet and a combination desk and vanity. Modern and attractive, the vari ous units may be used separately or in combination. As shown in the left of the illustration, the game room-guest closet gives little clue as to ita real purpose.

Trainer Shows Students How to Avert Car Crashes Whether an impending highway crash turns into another disaster or • near miss may depend on a driver's behind-the-wheel prowess the instant after the emergency develops. In this split-second interval, many drivers act instinctively—and often what they do is wrong. Some panic, let go of the wheel. Still others freeze, do nothing. While thousands of youths are taught to drive in the nation's high schools, they get precious little in struction in meeting highway emer gencies. Limited surveys of driver educa tion programs show that trained drivers have far fewer accidents than those with no training. Good as this record is, many safety educators— like Dr. Herbert J. Stack of the Cen ter for Safety Education at New York University—believe it would be even better if drivers were taught what to do in highway emergencies. Staging crash situations with real cars to give student drivers practice in meeting emergencies on the high way would give any driver educa tion instructor nightmares. Obvi ously, such a program was out of the question. Now, however, many student driv ers are receiving this vital training, thanks to a revolutionary classroom training device called the /Etna Drivotrainer, which is being used in an increasing number of high schools throughout the ebuntry. No Risk In Drivotrainer But with the Drivotrainer, special movies that show a driver’s eye view of the road ahead bring the highways into the classroom where beginning drivers—without risk to themselves or others—can learn how to avert a crash. In the Drivotrainer, which was developed by the /Etna Casualty and Surety Company, students take their behind-the-wheel training in small model cars which they learn to drive'' on highways shown on a CRASH DRILLS In Drivotrainer classroom, where 15 students can bo In structed at a time free of on-the-road driving hazards, teach students proper way to get cut of common highway emergencies like this. huge movie screen the same as they would appear through the windshield of a read car. While the Drivotrainer course cov ers everything from basic skills like steering and shifting to more com plex techniques like parallel parking and making U and Y turns, one of the 19 special training films is de voted wholly to emergency training. In this part of the course, students experience a nerve-tingling scries of potential accident situations on the Drivotrainer's movie highways and an drilled in the behind the wheel maneuvers that will avoid a crash. By doing what cannot be done with conventional training methods, the Drivotrainer will help future motorists to do spontaneously the thing that will avert an accident when they're on real highways. First used in the New York City schools, the Drivotrainer has since been introduced ip Los Angeles, Oak Park, 111., Oklahona City, Dearborn and Lansing, Mich., Springfield, Mo., Fort Collins, Colo., Waterloo and Mason City, la., Freeport and East Meadow, N.Y. •«» *•* Phone Your News To HA0800
