A NEWSPAPER’S POLICIES
(EDITORIALS
CROM TIME TO TIME newspaper men are called upon
■ to explain, verbally, why they advocated this or that,
or were supporting a certain act of the- legislature,, or it
may be an ordinance passed by the city council,"when the
mention of a proposed act or ordinance was made in its
columns. V
This controversy arises sometimes when a newspaper
only publishes a news item about such things.
The object of this item is to try to explain that the only
time this nev*sbaPer -supports any movement, act or or-
dinance is under its masthead of in a special position on
the front page header! “Editorial.-” sometimes when we do
not have an editorial to place in the editorial column, some
other item of general interest may be placed there. In our
news columns we try to give both sides of any question
wherever it may be deemed necessary, or when we fepl
that such.-propositions may be of vital interest to our
citizens and readers. Just because "it is in the newspaper
does not mean that we advocate'it. Far from it. Because
there have been* times in our experience as a nwspaper
man we have printed items we had far rather not see in
any newspaper, but in trying to be fair-^and this being
a Democratic nation—we felt it but fair to let the people
decide lor themselves what they would want to do w'ith
such things. ,
Editorially we have tried tq advocate thing we felt were-
for the best interest of our community, which are about
the extent of our efforts and policies. - We hope to con-
tinue our efforts along that line, but when it comes to
politics and controversies locally, we hope to stay as far
away from that as is possible. -
Please remember, just because it is in .the paper does
not mean we are for it. You Will, find our views expressed
in the editorial column and under “editorial” heads only.

Kiirvey Kv a leading distributor of
Texas farm produce.
At least half of the estimated $12,-
600.000 annually lost from spoilage
and damage to Texas fruits and
vegetables alone can be prevented
by the use of better grading, park-
ing and by better arid more diM-ct
distribution methods, Earl It French
marketing director for Atlantic
Commission Company, declared in
the survey's summary Fie indicat-
ed that further savings could be
realized frorri imjLU .ov»m12handling .ui
Other Texas farm products.
“If San Patricio county farmers,
working, with diSttibutors, cut by
half the average 10 to 12 percent
of vegetable shipments lost through
damage and spoilage, they will have
achieved the equivalent of a 5 to
€ per cent increase in production
withont any extra acreage, seed,
fertilizer, equipment or farm labor,"
French said.
"Under wartime condition*, use
of efficient production methods’ and
efficient .distribution channels such
AM those developed by chai^j stores

lie continued. “For example, San |
Patricio county’s 1.196 farm family

Since that count was made, farm

French said.

‘BKtz Lunch’ Served in Street
You’ll Get Your
Beans Without Cans
Th* proprietress of • cafe in East End London had her shop
bombed out in an afar raid, so ihe promptly moved into the strwt to
terra tea and mid-morning lunch to her customer*. This picture is
typical, says the British Ministry of Information, of the manner in
which the people manage to carry on under advene conditions.
Because of tin shortages, there
won’t be any more Banned pork and
beans or baked beans when present
supplies are gone.
This curtailment shouldn’t bother
homemakers; because there are
plenty of dried beans available.
These keep well and taste good if
they are prepared right, says Hazel
Phillips, food preparation specialist
for the A and M. College Extension
Service. *
In preparing beans right the first
rule is to give them plenty of time
to soak—overnight in cold water or
five or six hours in lukewarm water
Be sure, 'to wash the beans before
soaking them, and cook them in the
water in which they are Boaked, for
this will save minerals and vitamins,
she says. Beans are rich in iron
and Vitamin B1 and these food
values "soak out into the water.”
The specialist says use soft Water
if it is available, for hard water
toughens the beans. Cook them at
a moderate temperature. In other
words, simmer them—don’t let them
bubble and boil, for hard boiling
cracks the skins, toughens the pro-
tein and makes the beans mushy.
Miss Phipps gives this, cautloa:
Never use soda to 'cook bean#. This
beans in a slow over, about 260*F.
As far as cooking Is concerned,
dry beans, may be treated pretty
much alike. That ie, although a
recipe may call for one type of bean
usually almost any other variety
may be substituted. Season ,beans
