Folks won’t need to guess what this pie’s all about, for tart,
rosy rhubarb gets a chance to show its virtues with
individual pastry wedges baked atop the pie.
“Pieplant” is an old name for rhubarb, but a;very appropriate
one. Crisp rhubarb stalks, rosy or cherry-colored, make a spring pie
that is pleasantly tart and sparkling.
’Tis a pity to hide such an inviting filling, so cut five or six tri-
angles of pastry to arrange on top the pie, one for each serving. Cut
the wedges with a pastry wheel to get the pretty scalloped effect, and
place pastry over filling before baking.
Since this is a juicy pie, the favorite crimped edge is the one to
use to hold in the juices. Make this by pressing dough together be-
tween thumb and finger of left hand and forefinger of right hand.
- Pie is a favorite dessert, and a ' satisfying one. That’s reason
enough to make fresh rhubarb pie a luncheon or dinner pastry treat
often this spring.

Weekly Gets
A Big Scoop
NORTON, VA.—A weekly news-
paper scored a resounding beat on
one of the biggest news stories of
the year in Virginia.
It printed an account of a $45,000
bank robbery, the chase and arrest
of the bandits within two hours after
it happened.
The subscribers of the Norton
Coalfield Progress, a modest but
growing “country weekly,” were
reading about the bank robbery be-
fore many of the large newspapers
and radio stations in the area knew
it had happened.
It wasn’t one of those stories that
happens right in front of the news-
paper, either. The bank was robbed
in Pound, Va., 20 miles to the north
over rugged mountain roads.
It was shortly after noon in Nor-
ton on the day that the Coalfield
Progress was to go to press. The
paper had been made up with ac
counts of meetings and society
items laboriously gathered from the
clubs and churches and PTA through
the week.

is its reporter and business man-
ager, was relaxing in the office.
A pressman, just returning from
lunch, walked in and remarked
casually:
“We’d better throw out the front
page.”
Then he added, still casually, “the
bank’s been robbed at Pound.”
Tate jumped to life. He tele-
phoned Pound and confirmed what
the pressman had heard a state
trooper remark to passersby on the
corner.
Tate drove the 20 miles to Pound
in a hurry over the winding roads.
He interviewed Ed Barr, the bank
cashier, who had been ordered into
a vault by two armed men who neg-
lected to close the vault door tight-
ly enough to make it click.
Escapes From Vault.
Barr said he got out of the vault
and shouted an alarm. He fired a
pistol at one of the bandits and
wounded him on the bank steps.
The two leaped into a car driven by
another man and drove off.
As Tate finished talking to Barr,
state troopers brought in the three
men for Barr to identify. The
money was recovered.
Tate sped back to Norton, wrote
his story and soon the presses of
the weekly rolled with a red hot
story and a banner line on the front
page.
“Big town newspapermen will
call it luck, but it was the biggest
thrill of my life getting that story,”
says Tate, who will become owner
of the Coalfield Progress in a few
months.

dedicated a new plant of the Coal-

Surgeons Forget Towel in
Vet’s Stomach; He Can’t Sue
BALTIMORE, MD.—A pensioned
army veteran who sought $100,000
from the government because of an
18 by 30-inch towel left in his
stomach was told that he couldn’t
sue Uncle Sam.
The veteran, 50-year-old Arthur
K. Jefferson of Joppa, Md., filed
the suit under the recently-enacted
federal tort claims act, waiving
immunity of the United States from
damage suits by private persons.
But Federal Judge W. Calvin
Chestnut ruled that congress did
not intend to include suits by for-
mer soldiers for service-connected
disabilities “for which there was
already existing a large body of
federal legislation.”

Mixed Burglar Alarm Signals
Bring Police to ‘Robbery’
CINCINNATI. — Four policemen
went to Antonio Dipilia’s grocery in
answer to a robbery alarm.
But there was no robbery. The
grocer just got his signals mixed
up.
Dipilia explained that he and his
landlady, Mrs. Frank Klein, who
lives on the second floor, had a pre-
arranged signal whereby he was to
tap on a pipe in case of a holdup.
“Mrs. Klein was in the store, and
a few minutes after she left I heard
water running in a washroom,” Di-
pilia said. “I forgot about the sig-
nal and rapped on the pipe to call
her attention to it.”
The landlady, hearing the rapping,
called police.

Heavier markings of cattle, fruits
and vegetables, and livestock pro-
ducts pushed April income ahead of
