“Have you anyone in court

"Yes, your Honor,” quickly
responded the Celt, "there is

Whereupon the sheriff
evinced signs of great amaze-

"Wild squirrels have eaten

with Police Sergt. Ben Wicker.
“I would appreciate your com-
ing out and shooting them.”
"I can’t shoot them—nor
can anyone Ase,” Wicker re-
plied. “It is against a city
ordinance to fire arms within
the city limits.”
Taylor was advised to set a
steel trap to rid his premises
of the squirrels.

TELEVISION ..... perfected
The first radio broadcast
was sent out just eighteen
years ago, when the news of
the election of President Har-
ding was picked up by a few
hundred crude and usually
home-made receiving sets.
How radio has grown in such
a short time is one of the
wonders of modern science
and invention which is no less
marvelous because we are all
familiar with it.
From the beginning of
broadcasting inventors have
dreamed of the day when mo-
tion pictures and scenes of ac-
tual events could be broadcast
over the ether waves, as sound
is. Television—"seeing at a
distance”—is one of the oldest
of human dreams and the sub-
ject of many ancient myths.
Now it is promised that by
the Spring of 1939 television
receiving sets will be available
for everybody. More than a
million dollars has been spent
in experiments with television
and the engineers think they
have all the “bugs” ironed out.
The first television receiving
sets will show those who have
them pictures of people acting
in piays, playing games and
doing other interesting things,
on a screen about 7 by 9
inches, it is promised. Eighteen
years from now television
may be as matter-of-fact to the
children of that day as radio is
to us now.

OYSTERS .... recipes
Next to pie and baked beans,
I think oysters wei e the most
popular feed along the New
England coast in my childhood.
I never saw or even heard of
anyone eating a raw oyster un-
til I was ten and we moved
down to Washington. New
England housewives, however,
had a dozen ways of cooking
oysters, all of which made
good eating.
The oyster stew was the fa-
vorite. My great-grandfather
had brought back from one of
his trading voyages to China a
set of Canton china ware in a
blue-and-white pattern, and
the huge soup ti: reen when fill-
ed with oyster stew held all the
food a large family could eat
at a meal.
My sister stid has that old
tureen. I saw it not long ago
and estimate that it must hold
almost two gallons. Two or
three quarts of shelled oysters
cooked up with milk and but-
ter and served with the old-
fashioned oyster crackers,
which were jnst small soda-
crackers, made a meal fit to
serve a king; especially when
there was mince-pie to top it
off.
Scalloped oysters were an
other favorite way of serving
them. In Boston I remember
we used to get a “pan roast” in
which each oyster was cooked
on a slice of thin toast
Fried oysters in the old New
England style were not like
the ones city folks get in res-
taurants. Each oyster was
rolled in commeal and they
were fried in an open, shallow
pan. Oyster fritters, with the
oysters chopped up, mixed
with batter and fried in deep
fat is another fondiy-remem
bered childhood delicacy.
SEAFOOD ... chowder
Living near the coast, we nsed
, to depend largely on the sea
! for our food. I still think the
finest fish is a steak cut from a
New England swordfish.
We didn’t care much for the
l ard clams or “quahaugs”
uown East when I was a child.
They’re about the only clams
one can get nowadays any-
where south of Boston. But the
long, soft clams which could
be dug up on almost any
beach, made one of the most
delicious foods obtainable,
clam chowder.
Modern Americans have
been spoiled by the New York
idea of putting tomatoes in
clam chowder, and making it
out of round clams. Real.
Yankee dam chowder contains I
salt pork, cut-up potatoes and
onions and not much else be-1
side clams.
The most popular summer
picnic was a clambake on the
beach. We built an oven of
large beach stones like a huge
saucer, and piled driftwood on
it to make a great bonfire.
While the stones were heating
we dug clams, caught any
small fish we could get, and
often picked a mess of scallops
from the seaweed.
Then we swept off the ashes
and put a layer of clams on
the red-hot stones, then a layer
of green com, if we had it,
then layers of fish, or scallops
and anything else handy. We
piled seaweed over it all, put a
big tarpaulin on top and iet it
steam for two or three hoars.
That made a real feast.
the Christian Church is built is
just that, the sacrament of the
Lord's Supper. If all the war-
like heads of governments got
together for a feast every Sat-
urday night, it would do more
to stave off war than all the
diplomacy in the world.

EATING . . championship
I’ve been talking about eat-
ing as if it were the most im-
portant thing in the world.
It’s more than that; it’3 one of
the most interesting things we
do. I’m always sorry for the
man or woman who has to eat
alone. Nobody gets much
pleasure out of eating without
companionship.
I don’t know of anything
that mak.es for friendship and
human kindliness more than
sitting around a table with
people who have a common in-
terest. And I don’t know of
anything that is of much more
social value than the custom of
having community suppers,
whether under the auspices of
a church, a volunteer fire de-
partment, or the community
as a whole.
I would rather go to such a
gathering for a meal than to
eat in the most expensive res-
taurant surrounded by strang-
ers. One does not remain a
stranger long when he sits
down to a supper which the
ladies of the Presbyterian
church, or the village Red
Cross chapter, have prepared
with their own hands.
It isn’t the quality of the
feed that counts, though that
is often about the best there is.
The thing is the neighborli-
ness, the feeling that by eating
at the same table we have
made a new tie with each oth-
er. It ia hard to have any but
friendly feelings for one with
whom one has broken bread.
