SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00—6 Months $3.00—3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) The Month Of July The month of July brings with it many memories and many historical anniversaries. The Battle of Gettysburg, the most important battle of the War between the North and the South, was fought out on July 1, 2 and 3, 1863. Independence Day, observed on July 4th, commemorates not a battle but adoption of the Continental Congress of a resolution, explaining why the colonies of that day felt justified in declaring themselves free and independent. A resolution, introduced by Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, on July 2nd, staled that the united colonies "are, and of right, ought to be, free and independent." Other historic events, in the history of the United States, occur in the month of July. The Republican Party was formed at Jackson, Michigan, on July 6, 1854. Columbia College, then known as King's College, in New York City, opened on July 7th, 1754. General Edward Braddock, sent to America in 1754 to command all British troops here, was defeated in a battle near Fort Duquesne, the present site of Pittsburgh, Pa. The battle, which lasted for about three hours, saw more than half of General Braddock's men killed and 63 of his 89 officers either killed or wounded. (It was in that battle that Col. George Washington went along with Braddock as a member of his staff. The enemy were French, Canadians and Indians and it was a severe defeat for the British). The first Woman's Suffrage Convention was held on July 19, 1848, at Seneca Falls, N. Y. In Utah, Pioneer's Day was observed on July 24, 1847. It was on this date that Brigham Young and his followers arrived in the great Salt lake valley. Frontier Day, in Wyoming, is celebrated on July 25th and dates from 1897, when the city of Cheyenne scheduled the first annual Frontier Day celebration. On July 27, 1866, the first Atlantic cable connecting Europe and America by electric telegraph was finally successful. There are many famous birthday anniversaries in the month of July, including those of Calvin Coolidge, on July 4; Admiral David G. Farragut, July 5; John D. Rockefeller, July 8; John Quincy Adams; July 11; Nathan B. Forrest, July 13; Mary Baker Eddy, July 16; John Jacob Astor, July 17; John Paul Jones, July 18; John Rutledge, July 23; and many others. That Holiday Roll Call Every year on the morning after, we listen for the roll call of the casualties piled up from the result of accidents happening in the celebration of our holiday season. The expectation is never disappointing and at each occurrence a situation comes nearer to those who happened to survive. This July the Fourth reached a high running up near the four hundred mark. As usual the accidents on the highways took the lead. This has always been the case and the suggestion follows that on this score should our best efforts be exerted in the line of cutting down the accidents on the highways. Following up this situation immediately upon the heels of a holiday, we have made many suggestions bent toward the cutting down of accidents. Our highways are among our most valuable assets; they are the veins of our commerce, our industries and those institutions upon which the bulk of our tax monies are spent. Nothing is of more importance in our economic lives than our highways. In that, the safety of our highways should be taken seriously. It is encouraging that the states are trying to protect the lives and property of the citizens and are using every effort in their power to make the highways safe for the citizens of the nation. Still weekends and holidays continue to take their toll. It is interesting to note the methods employed by different states in an effort to make their highways safe. In a recent four through the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois, we had the advantage of observing various methods employed; in these states to effect safety. Those who have traveled through the state of Tennessee have seen the winding roads hung on the shoulders of the mountains and descending into tunnels to bound again across the top of the mountain chain. Driving at all times is hazardous at its best and it is marvelous how accidents are averted on the narrow roads leading around the mountain. The best roads are found in Indiana and Michigan. For the most those highways are four lane affairs. It would be interesting to note the methods employed by the state of Indiana in regards to safety. The roads are heavily patroled; the radar system not only comprises speed detectors, supported by steel posts, but automatic cameras make pictures at the intervals of excessive speed. These few points are dropped along with this notation of the high tolls taken in weekend and holiday accidents. It is felt that writing might serve as educational suggestions as to how our highway traffic toll might be cut down from its mounting figures. Starts Sunday July 10 3 BIG DAYS NOW!

"The British had him in jail for twelve years," said Mr. Judd. "If I had been held in jail for twelve years because of fighting for freedom, I suspect I would have a permanent scar in my soul against the people and all connected with them who were responsible for it." Before the Foreign Affairs Committee reached a decision on further assistance to India, it considered the affects of such assistance on the entire Asian policy of the United States. The committee recognized that India's foreign policy is often divergent from that of the United States. But if said it believes that "neutral or even hostile expressions by Indian Government leaders must not obscure the fact that our stake is in the preservation of the Indian subcontinent as an independent state." The committee pointed out that India insists it is a neutral country and it has a representative form of government which internally is strongly anti-Communist. It said American assistance to India as elsewhere in the free world is directed toward strengthening the democratic base of government." The more successful we are in achieving that objective," the report said, "the more we make it possible for India to resist Communist threats and blandishments and to remain a part of the free world. The program of assistance to India calls for $10,000,000 to be spent for development of agriculture and natural resources, including $4,000,000 for fertilizer to meet the rising demand before the completion of additional manufacturing facilities $4,000,000 for additional deep deep irrigation wells, and $2,000,000 for river valley development to assist infurther expansion of irrigation. Other items are $5,000,000 for the construction of electric power facilities, $15,000,000 to help meet the shortage of steel, $6,000,000 for rehabilitation of the Indian railways and $4,000,000 for malaria control. In Haiti, the $3,000,000 authorized for development assistance would be used to continue the program of temporary emergency assistance which was begun in 1955 and is in addition to the technical cooperation program the United States and Haiti are carrying on. Because of damage caused to Haiti by the hurricane last October the United States found it necessary to extend a limited amount, about $3,400,000 of development assistance and provide about $2,000,000 worth of surplus agricultural commodities to Haiti during the last fiscal year. The development assistance funds are being used chiefly to help repair irrigation systems and rehabilitate farm-to-market roads and coffee plantings which were devastated by the hurricane. It was felt by the committee that emergency assistance to Haiti should he continued because of the advent of a period of extended drought the slow recovery from the affects of the hurricane and the severe shortage of foreign exchange resulting partly from the reduced coffee crop. During the fiscal year 1956, a technical cooperation program of $11,200,000 would be carried on in the independent African countries of Ethiopia, Libya and Liberia and in the French, Belgium, Italian, Portugese and British colonies. "As the Sunday is soon to determine its future through the free choice of its people," the committee report said, "it may be in our interest to extend technical assistance to that country in the coming (this) fiscal year." The United States programs in Africa are designed to improve the standards of living through technical assistance in agriculture, health and vocational training. The committee report also stated: "The continued supply of raw materials; and maintenance of air and naval bases, and the investment in new production in Africa require a high degree of stability and friendly ies with the West. "Libya, Ethopia, and Liberia as well as the territories are now in the process of developing new political and social institutions. The territories are in various stages of development, with the Gold Coast and Nigeria approaching independence within the Commonwealth. "Several territories are now in the process of developing multiracial societies as an essential step toward increased self-government." The Foreign Affairs Committee, in discussing technical cooperation in the free countries of Asia, said: "The Bandung conferences was a gage of the increased self-assurance of many of the free Asian nations. Such confidence can only come from a greater measure of internal stability and development to which our programs are directed. "The committee was impressed by the fact that among those who stood with the free world were nations not receiving assistance from us. Should the occasion arise when these nations need, and ask for, a small measure of technical cooperation, or other assistance to carry out programs that will strengthen their economy, the committee recommends that their request be given sympathetic consideration by the executive branch."

Tell Her It's MURDER Copyright, 1954. by Helen Reilly Distributed by King Features Syndicate Jim Andrus bad blacked-out the night before he was to have wed lovely Reging Pelham in her suburban New York home. He bad awakened to find himself accused of the vehicular slaying of Regina's small son, Roger. And though, he knew he'd been framed, evidence pointed to his guilt, so he'd been convicted of homicide, and had served a brief orison term. But free now in New York, and aided by Police Inspector McKee. Andrus is bent upon clearing his name. A clue as to his actual whereabouts on that tragic night, leads Andrus to the suburban shack of one "Midnight Mike." Here he is injured and dazed, he stumbles upon the corpse of "Midnight Mike." himself. Jim hides out in a cheap local hotel that night and when next morning his silver flask is found by the body of the murdered man. Andrus is again wanted by the police. But Jim's loyal friend. Susan Dwight, helps him evade the law. Susan never had believed Andrus guilty of killing little Roger and she is sure that her grieving half-sister, Regina Pelham, still loves this man! Now dimly Jim recalls having been somewhere with "Midnight Mike" and a woman the night the lad had died beneath the wheels of his car. BEFORE 9 o'clock Andrus was safe in the loft of the Pelham barn. He hadn't been challenged on the way, nor had it been difficult to get in Susan Dwight had explained the layout to him. The big square barn below, with the former stable opening out of it; the loft above was never used. The door at the foot of the ladder-like stairs was rusted shut on its wheel. But a window on a landing inside the stairwell could easily be opened. Andrus had climbed through the window. The huge loft was ell shaped. At the back of the shorter leg there was a toilet, a rusty sink an army cot with a pile of faded blankets and quilts on it and two old chairs. The place had last been used by a gardener when Mrs. Pelham was alive, and not since. After that it had been left to rats and mice and spiders. The place was bitterly cold. Andrus kept his coat on. Dragging a backless chair to the front windows, he sat down facing them. He had an excellent view of the back of the house and part of the side. After a few minutes headlights came up the steep winding drive. It was Susan Dwight and Lofting in, Regina's old Chevy. Lofting drove the car into the barn and they got out. Their voices floated up and clearly through the floor boards. Susan said, "That steak was good, wasn't it. Brr, it's cold." and Lofting said, "It certainly is. I think there's a storm coming. I ought to have gone back to New York tonight. If it snows and the snow piles up—" "Don't be silly, Barry. You pan just as easily go down in the morning." They left the barn, their arms linked, mounted the back steps and went inside. Lights flashed on. Susan and Lofting were in the pantry, Susan getting ice out of the refrigerator. They vanished. Edith and Frederick Pelham suddenly appeared before Andrus. The moon was bright and he could see them clearly. They had evidently come round the barn; their own house was only a stone's throw away on the hill above. They were talking. Andrus couldn't hear what they said. They turned under the walls, crossed the lawn and went in through a side door. Presently the nurse, Mrs. Casserly, came down the back stairs into the kitchen, put a kettle on the, stove and began arranging a tray. Andrus wanted a cigaret, but Susan had warned him about showing a light and he was still sitting there, too listless to move, when a curious little scene took place. Lights sprang up in a room on the second floor. Double exposure—it was a replica of one of those trick stagesets where you see into two rooms at once. Mrs. Casserly bustling about in the kitchen, tall and angular and busy; it was Edith Pelham who had entered the room on the floor above. The room was a bedroom. Regina's sister-in-law stood with her back to the closed door looking around. The furniture consisted of a bed, a high-boy, a dressing table and two chairs. Edith Pelham went quickly to the highboy and began opening and closing drawers as though she were searching for something. The dressing table next; she was at the dressing table when she raised her head sharply in a listening gesture, closed the drawer, hurried across the floor and disappeared through a door on the far side, a bathroom door, dousing the lights as she did so. The room was in darkness for only a moment. The actresses had changed places. Light again; it was switched on by Mrs. Casserly. The bedroom was evidently hers. She entered it smiling. She was in a cheerful mood, seemed, to be humming. She started for the dressing table and stood still. Something about the dressing table, some sign the other woman had left held her rigid, hands on her hips, her head forward, her feet rooted to the floor. She con tiuned to gaze at the dressing table for a long moment, then roused. Crossing to the bathroom door, she looked into the bathroom now dark, closed the door, and slid a bolt to. She then went to a closet beyond the highboy and dragged a suitcase out. She opened the suitcase, looked into it, secured the case and put it back in the closet. Her manner and bearing now altogether changed, she left the room, locking the door behind her when she went—at least she had the key in her fingers. A curious little affair... Andrus stared into the black and silver night at the big house. A very curious affair. Edith Pelham had searched for something in Mrs. Casserly's room. She bad some thing in her possession. Mrs. Casserly had been in the house the night Roger was killed. She had been frightened when she saw him the other day at the Ludwick station, frightened just now when she discovered that someone had been in her room . . . What was Mrs. Casserly afraid of? He sat on for some time thinking about it. He watched Edith and Frederick Pelham come out of the house and walk up the drive toward the bam. But the show wasn't over. Suddenly Edith Pelham gave a shrill cry and pointed. "Fred—a man, over there under the ask ..." Her nerves were certainly on edge. There was nothing under the spread of the tree by the trunk. Frederick Pelham walked a few yards across grass, peered, returned, took his wife's arm, muttered something that sounded like "nonsense" and they walked off. It wasn't nonsense. Looking closely where Edith' Pelham had pointed, Andrus saw part of the tree trunk detach Itself and move. It was a man. He strolled out into the moonlight and on toward the front of the house. His dark figure was clearly outlined. He was tall and wore some sort of light-colored coat. He didn't seem to be in any hurry. Beyond the semi-circular porch at the front and to the right of the house, where the ground rose in a knoll, there was a stone bench. The man seated himself on the bench in a negligent attitude, legs stretched out in front of him, arms folded. The front of the house was still hit up. The man on the bench gazed through the windows of living room and hall, as Andrus himself had gazed into the rooms at the back. Sweat broke out on Andrus forehead. Police—the man was a plainclothesman, watching the house. Watching Susan Dwight. The fellow was completely calm, collected, couldn't be anything else but a policeman. Andrus pushed his chair farther back into darkness and stood. As though they were connected by invisible strings the man on the bench got up too and walked away. The lights were going out. Presently the house was black.

Their voices floated up and clearly through the floor boards. Susan said, "That steak was good, wasn't it. Brr, it's cold." and Lofting said, "It certainly is. I think there's a storm coming. I ought to have gone back to New York tonight. If it snows and the snow piles up—" "Don't be silly, Barry. You pan just as easily go down in the morning." They left the barn, their arms linked, mounted the back steps and went inside. Lights flashed on. Susan and Lofting were in the pantry, Susan getting ice out of the refrigerator. They vanished. Edith and Frederick Pelham suddenly appeared before Andrus. The moon was bright and he could see them clearly. They had evidently come round the barn; their own house was only a stone's throw away on the hill above. They were talking. Andrus couldn't hear what they said. They turned under the walls, crossed the lawn and went in through a side door. Presently the nurse, Mrs. Casserly, came down the back stairs into the kitchen, put a kettle on the, stove and began arranging a tray. Andrus wanted a cigaret, but Susan had warned him about showing a light and he was still sitting there, too listless to move, when a curious little scene took place. Lights sprang up in a room on the second floor. Double exposure—it was a replica of one of those trick stagesets where you see into two rooms at once. Mrs. Casserly bustling about in the kitchen, tall and angular and busy; it was Edith Pelham who had entered the room on the floor above. The room was a bedroom. Regina's sister-in-law stood with her back to the closed door looking around. The furniture consisted of a bed, a high-boy, a dressing table and two chairs. Edith Pelham went quickly to the highboy and began opening and closing drawers as though she were searching for something. The dressing table next; she was at the dressing table when she raised her head sharply in a listening gesture, closed the drawer, hurried across the floor and disappeared through a door on the far side, a bathroom door, dousing the lights as she did so. The room was in darkness for only a moment. The actresses had changed places. Light again; it was switched on by Mrs. Casserly. The bedroom was evidently hers. She entered it smiling. She was in a cheerful mood, seemed, to be humming. She started for the dressing table and stood still. Something about the dressing table, some sign the other woman had left held her rigid, hands on her hips, her head forward, her feet rooted to the floor. She con tiuned to gaze at the dressing table for a long moment, then roused. Crossing to the bathroom door, she looked into the bathroom now dark, closed the door, and slid a bolt to. She then went to a closet beyond the highboy and dragged a suitcase out. She opened the suitcase, looked into it, secured the case and put it back in the closet. Her manner and bearing now altogether changed, she left the room, locking the door behind her when she went—at least she had the key in her fingers. A curious little affair... Andrus stared into the black and silver night at the big house. A very curious affair. Edith Pelham had searched for something in Mrs. Casserly's room. She bad some thing in her possession. Mrs. Casserly had been in the house the night Roger was killed. She had been frightened when she saw him the other day at the Ludwick station, frightened just now when she discovered that someone had been in her room . . . What was Mrs. Casserly afraid of? He sat on for some time thinking about it. He watched Edith and Frederick Pelham come out of the house and walk up the drive toward the bam. But the show wasn't over. Suddenly Edith Pelham gave a shrill cry and pointed. "Fred—a man, over there under the ask ..." Her nerves were certainly on edge. There was nothing under the spread of the tree by the trunk. Frederick Pelham walked a few yards across grass, peered, returned, took his wife's arm, muttered something that sounded like "nonsense" and they walked off. It wasn't nonsense. Looking closely where Edith' Pelham had pointed, Andrus saw part of the tree trunk detach Itself and move. It was a man. He strolled out into the moonlight and on toward the front of the house. His dark figure was clearly outlined. He was tall and wore some sort of light-colored coat. He didn't seem to be in any hurry. Beyond the semi-circular porch at the front and to the right of the house, where the ground rose in a knoll, there was a stone bench. The man seated himself on the bench in a negligent attitude, legs stretched out in front of him, arms folded. The front of the house was still hit up. The man on the bench gazed through the windows of living room and hall, as Andrus himself had gazed into the rooms at the back. Sweat broke out on Andrus forehead. Police—the man was a plainclothesman, watching the house. Watching Susan Dwight. The fellow was completely calm, collected, couldn't be anything else but a policeman. Andrus pushed his chair farther back into darkness and stood. As though they were connected by invisible strings the man on the bench got up too and walked away. The lights were going out. Presently the house was black. CHAPTER ELEVEN Copyright, 1954. by Helen Reilly Distributed by King Features Syndicate Jim Andrus bad blacked-out the night before he was to have wed lovely Reging Pelham in her suburban New York home. He bad awakened to find himself accused of the vehicular slaying of Regina's small son, Roger. And though, he knew he'd been framed, evidence pointed to his guilt, so he'd been convicted of homicide, and had served a brief orison term. But free now in New York, and aided by Police Inspector McKee. Andrus is bent upon clearing his name. A clue as to his actual whereabouts on that tragic night, leads Andrus to the suburban shack of one "Midnight Mike." Here he is injured and dazed, he stumbles upon the corpse of "Midnight Mike." himself. Jim hides out in a cheap local hotel that night and when next morning his silver flask is found by the body of the murdered man. Andrus is again wanted by the police. But Jim's loyal friend. Susan Dwight, helps him evade the law. Susan never had believed Andrus guilty of killing little Roger and she is sure that her grieving half-sister, Regina Pelham, still loves this man! Now dimly Jim recalls having been somewhere with "Midnight Mike" and a woman the night the lad had died beneath the wheels of his car. BEFORE 9 o'clock Andrus was safe in the loft of the Pelham barn. He hadn't been challenged on the way, nor had it been difficult to get in Susan Dwight had explained the layout to him. The big square barn below, with the former stable opening out of it; the loft above was never used. The door at the foot of the ladder-like stairs was rusted shut on its wheel. But a window on a landing inside the stairwell could easily be opened. Andrus had climbed through the window. The huge loft was ell shaped. At the back of the shorter leg there was a toilet, a rusty sink an army cot with a pile of faded blankets and quilts on it and two old chairs. The place had last been used by a gardener when Mrs. Pelham was alive, and not since. After that it had been left to rats and mice and spiders. The place was bitterly cold. Andrus kept his coat on. Dragging a backless chair to the front windows, he sat down facing them. He had an excellent view of the back of the house and part of the side. After a few minutes headlights came up the steep winding drive. It was Susan Dwight and Lofting in, Regina's old Chevy. Lofting drove the car into the barn and they got out.

Presently the house was black. Insurance Co. establishing hospitalization and medical care and pensions for union members in a good many cases, and establishing decent seniority systems. The Negro members of organized labor were called upon in no uncertain terms by the NAACP to be loyal and active union members. Even while denouncing vigorously the dwindling minority of unions which practice racial, discrimination, the desire of the delegates, as expressed in their resolutions was not to destroy such unions, but to eliminate the color bar from them. "The proposed merger agreement between the A F. of L. and the C. I. O. was specifically endorsed. "On the other hand, the delegates, knew what was what. They specifically denounced the unions which were Communist-dominated, because their purpose is to serve first, not the interest of workers in America, but the interests of Soviet Russia; and called on NAACP members and branches not to cooperate with them in any way. "The resolution on Social Security also went down the line for this program which is dear to the hearts of labor men and women. It called for better unemployment compensation, both for higher rates and longer periods, and urged the inclusion of those now excluded from unemployment insurance. It endorsed the principle of government health insurance so that those who are prevented from working by sickness or non-industrial accidents would be able to get part of their pay and hospital and medical care, just as those who are injured in industrial accidents now do through Workmen's Compensation. Better old age benefits were also endorsed. And specific endorsement was given to the policy of the guaranteed annual wage. "There was a resolution against Negro scabbing in industrial disputes, a resolution for a higher minimum wage by law in line with the demands of organized labor, and one against State anti-union laws - the miscalled "right to work" laws which are used to curb and interfere with legitimate union organizing activity in some of the Southern states. "Of course, among the top leaders there has been effective cooperation between organized labor and the NAACP for some time. Walter Reuther, the President of the C. I. O. and of its United Automobile Workers, is a member of the National Board of the NAACP, was Philip Murray before him. A. Philip Randolph, President of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, A. F. L., H. L. Mitchell, President of the Farm Laborers Union, A. F. L., and Willard Townsend, President of the United Transport Service Employees, CIO, are Vice Presidents of the NAACP. "On both the national and state levels the NAACP and organized labor are natural allies and have been acting as such, more and more, in the states of the North, Northeast, the West Coast, and in Washington, D. C. For example organized labor has supported such demands of the NAACP as the abolition of the poll tax us a requirement for voting, a federal antilynching law, and a fair employment practice law with enforcement powers. In nearly all the states which have passed fair employment practice legislation, organized labor has given its support. I know it was true in Connecticut, where I live that without such support the law would not have been adopted. And this past year organized labor in Connecticut and in New York gave help, eight at the hearings or in the promotional work, for measures against discrimination in housing or to provide more funds for nonsegregated housing projects. "The NAACP is opposed to the McCarran-Walter Anti-Immigration Law because its national origin quota system is a clear expression of racial bias, and because it reduces immigration from the Caribbean Islands to a tiny trickle. Both organized labor and the NAACP supported the legislatures joint resolution in my state to memoralize Congress against that law. "I have, from year to year, appeared before various committees of the Connecticut State Legislature on behalf of the NAACP to support or oppose measures which organized labor supported or opposed Specifically measures to memoralize Congress for higher minimum wage laws, and in opposition to the so-called "right to work" law, which the employers hoped to get in order to make it possible to undermine and seriously weaken unions. "It is a fact, also, that the comparatively small number of unions which still practice racial discrimination is dwindling Mr. Herbert Hill, the Labor Secretary oft the NAACP, is doing excellent work along these lines and he has also helped greatly in getting an in creasing number of unions to give moral and financial support to the NAACP, both nationally and to our local branches." ALFRED BAKER LEWIS Member, National Board NAACP. Senator Barkley Flays Inequality During Independence Day Address Former Vice President Albert W. Barkley asserted Monday in Philadelphia that America faces menaces to freedom within its own borders as well as from abroad. Sen. Barkley, Democratic Senator from Kentucky, addressed an audience at ceremonies dedicating a tree-lined mall at Independence Hall, where the Declaration Independence was signed 179 years ago. Outlining the principles of freedom and equality spelled out in the Constitution, Barkley declared: "There is no equality as long as any segment of our population is required to pay for the right to vote." We have violated the Constitu tion," Barkley charged, "by denying men the right to hold office due to color and creed." He added: "We enjoy freedom of speech— yet sometimes it appears in moments of hysteria that 165,000,000 people are afraid to exercise that right." Sen. Barkley added, however, that he did not fear enemies within. "Im' not, afraid that the squeal of a few rats will undermine the foundation of our American Democracy," he said. Warning of threats from other nations, the Senator said: "they recognize no religion except to desstroy it," freedom except to suppress it, or initiative except to stifle it." But he declared: "They shall not carry out their diabolical desire to conquer the world and rule man kind." Sen. Barkley also expressed hope ther would b a meeting of the minds in the forthcoming Big Four Conclave in Geneva. In a message read to the gathering, President Eisenhower spoke of the principles enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and said: "Recurrence to these beliefs and remembrance of the courage and steadfastness of our forefathers advocacy of them at a critical hour in human history are indispensable to our efforts to build a world in which freedom is secure. "On July 4, 1955, as Americans assemble at Independence Hall and in communities across the country, I am confident they will renew their familiarity with our heritage and their devotion to the cause of human liberty.

MEALTIME MELODIES By LEADO GAMMER A miraculous change takes place when bread is toasted. It tastes sweeter. It re-captures that heaven-sent aroma which warts around a bakery while bread is a-baking. Toasting converts some of the starch in bread into simpler carbohydrates and removes some of the moisture also. But of course the family gets tired of just plain toast all the time. So if you are a smart homemaker you will add a little spice for variety. Cinnamon toast is a favorite and ever so easy to prepare. For the best toast use bread at least 24 hours old. 1-4 cup soft butter 12 slices bread toasted 14 cup sugar 1 teaspoon Cinnamon 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar Butter toast slices allowing 1 teaspoon butter per slice. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of mixture over each slice buttered toast. Place toast spread side up, on an ungreased cookie sheet. Toast in a moderate oven (350) degrees Farinheit for five minutes. Shake a little confectioners sugar over each slice. Serve immediately as the regular breakfast bread or as a snack. You can vary this recipe by spooning 1 half cup apple sauce on each slice of cinnamon toast. Cut remaining slices in half, diagonally and arrange in pairs over servings. Then cut through the bottom slice for easy serving with good sausages. Here's a hunch for that lunch problem too. Just serve-oven French toast. For it you will need 2 slightly beaten eggs 1-2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons 1 cup milk 1-2 teaspoon alma extract 12 slices bread Combine eggs, salt, sugar, milk and almond extract. Dip bread slices into mixture. Place slices on a well-greased cookie sheet and brown in a hot oven (450) degrees Farenheit for about 10 minutes. Turn toast and continue browning. Serve with preserves, honey, butter or maple syrup. Makes 6 servings 2 slices toast per serving. CINNAMON TOAST By LEADO GAMMER A miraculous change takes place when bread is toasted.
