THE STORY: Mrs. Malone, a
‘widow who operates the Dude
Hamburger Ranch ¢+ a main
highway, Is clesing up her place
after a successful tourist season.
She intends to return to Los An
geles to spend the winter months.
Then along the road comes a mon
ster trailer, pulled by a truck and
followed by a sedan pulling a
smaller trailer. The huge vehicle
stops and a woman steps out. She
wants to catch the bus back to
Los Angeles. A: the woman waits
the trwk driver, 2 handsome man
ir his late forties, .sks Mrs, Ma
lone i she’d like to cook for Mrs.
Everson whe lives in the trailer.
At that momn! the womarn who
s leaving looks at Mrs. Malone
with frightened eyes and says:
“Don’t you do !
- . -
“You take my advice,” the
young woman with frightened
eyes cried, “and dont you let him
talk you int¢ it!” I was going to
cook for her. But I'd rather be
dead first! Sh:'s crazy. She's
erazy, I tell you!”
Her voice rose in a kind of
scream.
fiun. Malone said quickly: “I
ink the bus is coming.” She
picked up her suitease,
“Yosu'd better b ready. They
hate to wait.”
She felt a cértain embarrass
men' at having witnessed the hys
terical outburst. Bi t she was curi
ous, too— very curivus.
Thr.e black-haired driver tool: a
deep puff of his cigaret, dropped
it and ground it into the sand with
the tip of his polished shoe.
The bus was making time. It
loomed larger and larger, seeming
to:rinkhthelongbluerinrof
road.
Mrs. Malone stooc firmly plant
ed, waving her winter coat so that
its fur-trimmed sleeves flapped
like a scarecrow’s. Then she could ‘
hear the brakes beginning to take
hold. The engine backfired noisily
@id the bus slowes 1o a stap.
“One passenger only. . .. You'd
better wait ‘or the ‘special’ It'll
be along in half an hou,” ‘he
driver called. *
“Oh, dear,” the young woman
cried. “I can’t wait! 1 want to
get away from her-' I've got to!”
Mrs. Malone was first in line. It
was her privilege to go. But that
meant she would never know. |
“You go ahead,” she said. “I'll
wait here. I'm in no hurry.”
“Oh, thank you!” |
’F oo » !
The young woman scrambled
into the bus. Mrs. Malone could
see the othe. passengers craning
at the windows to get a better
view of the monsts - trailer, Some
of them were standing up and
pointing.
But the bus couldn’t wait. The
door closed and the tires began to
turn with a bubbling sound. Rap
idly, the bus fled.
“That was very nice of Y&“;{"
the uniformed mal said. ¢ 4
did you do it?”
A*‘;l thought maybe Id take thel
job.”
Mrs. Malone had not intended
to go so far. The sudden impuise
stemmed from her dread of being
alone. Her husband had been in
exciting eompanion—adventurous,
brave and good-natured—and this
;‘v‘ould be her first winter without
m,
The thought of the long, idle
months ahead. mt &8s 8 sort of
paying guest in sister’s house,
made her reckless and desperate.
“What s there in it?” she asked.

What’s-Her-Name rzally crazy?”
“Crazy like a fox,” the man said.
“Come and meet her. You con see
for yourself.” i
Mrs. Malone folded her coat and
placed it neatly on top of her
suilcase. 'She was aware of an ac
celerated leartbeat as she follow
ed the driver and waited beside
him for the steps to make their
mysterious appearance.
Then she followed him into the
trailer, ducking her head to clear
the low doorway. She found her
seli ir a narrow entry, from which
a door opened to the left,
“Mrs. Everson? I think I've
found another cook for you.”
A first quick glance through
the door disclosed a necessarily
narrow yet iuxuvri.us iniefioi. an
limpreuion of silvery walls, hy
drangea-blue curtains, sofas or
bunks upholstered i.. gray satin.
But Mrs. Malone had no oppor
tunity to observe the details. A
woman was sittir.g tailor-fashion
on one of the sofas. Her appear
ance was so extraordirary that her
surroundings seemed unimportant
in con.parison,
She wasn’t young, nor was she
strictly beaatiful. SShe had rather,
the ageless look achieved by cer~
'tain famous actresses. Her skin
vras taut, her co lours flawless,
'her hair abundar’ and rather
dark. She had immense blue ey:s
and a narrow, painted mouth. Her
hands were large, the nails lac
quered. Here, as so often happens,
she stood revealed as a woman
possibly in her 40’s. :
She wore a black crepe dress
fastened by a clip set with dia
monds in mounting platinum
squares.
“How do you de?” she said.
Her voice was a deep alto, un
expected in so slight a woman.
“Where did you find her,
Rudy?” she asked the driver. “Did
she drop ou. of the sky, like a
frog in a rainstorm? A cook in
‘the middle of the Mojave! How
come?”
i. @ *
~ Mrs. Malone e:xoghincd quickly.
She was not a by profession,
but she was willing to try, provid
ed, of course, that too much was
not expected o. her—fancy des
serts, for instance, such as pas
tries,
“I understand soups, meats and
sauces, They say I make the best
ccfifleo i’x.x California. That's about
"
“It will be enough,” Mrs. Ever
son interrupted, “if you're also
willing to learn. What's your
name?”
“Malone.”
“Molly?”
The crimson mouth smiled;
there was a trace of mockery in
the eyes.
“My name’s Margaret.”
“I'll call you Malone.”
Mrs. Everson unfolded and
stood up. She was not tall, but she
gave the impression of height be
cause of her slenderness and the
lofty heels she wore. Quenching
her cigaret in # crystal dish full
of half-smoked stubs stained with
lipstick, she said:
“This is the situation. As you
see, I'm traveling, on my way to
spend the winter in 4 remote, un
settled part of the country. This
trailer s my home. Your room, if
you decide to work for me, is

Wing Less Chicks Hit In Labs
But, As In Past, Flop In Pots
OMAHA, Nebr.—(NEA)—Wing
less chickens are stirring up a lot
of excitement these days, follow
ing the announcement of their
breeding by a Des Moines, lowa
veterinary, but around here wing
less chickens get the bird.
First, there’s nothing new about
them. As far back as 1924, people
were successfully developing a
wingless strain. In the second
place, they turned out to be less
meaty than the normal be-winged
variety.
Records show that in 11924 W. L.
Frank of Sherman, Tex., de
veloped a wingless chicken. He
called it a Kiwi, after a wingless
New Zealand bird. He even siari
ed a Kiwi Club of America, but
not much came of it,
Just 20 years ago, in July, 1929,
NEA Service carried a story about
Dr. R. T. Renwald, an Omaha vet
erinary, His interest in wingless
chickens was entirely scientific,
although he did prophesy that
“within five years” wingless poul
try would be as common as the
normal strain. Further, he said

Soap Is Still
Luxury In Europe
VIENNA.—(AP)~—Soap is still
a rich man’s luxury in many Eu
ropean counthies. Even in these
countries where it is not rationed,
the price is generally higher than
low income groups can pay. Hos
pitals and other public institu
tions still depend on charity ship
ments from abroad for the bulk
of their needs, CARE officiels
throughout Europe report the
use of inferior quality soaps in
institutions is a serious menace
to child heasg#h.
An Associated Press survey
showed France, Italy and’ Scandi
navian countries as the brightest
spots on the European soap map.
Britain, Czechoslovakia and Yu
goslavia are at the other end of
the scale. Between those two ex
tremes are countries like Poland
Austria and Germany where you
can buy all the soap you need if
you have the money.
In Czechoslovakia the soap ra
tion is one bar of toilet soap every
three months. There is also a
small ration of laundry soap and
soap powder. The government
had promised to put soap on free
sale but the price will range from
50 to 60 cents a bar. The average
British ration is seven small bare
of toilet soap every two months.
in Yugoslavia it is half a pound
per month per person, and the
supply is irregular. In Poland &
bar of soap costs 25 cents. =
Austrian soap is of poor qual
ity. A bar of American soap on
the black market costs 30 cents
An inferior tvpe of soap Is sti'l
rationed in Germany. To supple
ment their one small rationed
bar, Germans pay 30 cents a bar
for American soaps which are on
sale alhmost everywhere.
CARE officials in Vienna say
the real need in Europe is for
better distribution of good soan
to low Income families with chil
dren and to public institutions
INVASION HAS
LASTING EFFECTS
KEYSER, W.. Va.— (AP) —This
little city would like to know just
what it has that attracts skunks—
and then get rid of it.
Coming on the heels of a similar
invasion, a squadron of five sight
seeing skunks pushed into the
downtown area the other night.
There was consternation, and a
call went out to Police Chief
Claude Martin,
Armed with a .22 caliber rifie
and a flashlight, the Chief nimbly
bagged three of the critters, routed
the others. Unfortunately, long
after the smoke of the battle clear
ed, the odor lingered.
There were more than 2,600
water systems and 1,900 sewage
systems installed by Georgia farm
families last year, an increase of 38
percent over 1947,

TI/E BANNER-HERALD. ATHENS GEORGIA
the wingless ones laid more eggs
and, consequently, he foresaw the
price of eggs falling to around 10
cents a dozen.
s ¢ o
His theory that the wingless
hens would be eggier was based
on the knowledge that ordinary
hens have an idle period of about
15 weeks when their wing feath
ers moult. No wings, no wing
feathers, no moulting, no idle
period, he figured.
His wingless hens did lay up to
315 eggs a year, which is better
than normal. But after the ex
periment, he turned his breeding
records and notes over to a grad
uaie genetics student whe wanted
the information for a master's
thesis.
In 1934, a wingless rooster was
born as a freak of nature in Rose
Hill, Ky. Scientists of Princeton
University got hold of the bird,
and watched it develop. They
concluded, after X-rays and psy
chological tests, that it was a
pleasant creature, but would be
useless in the pot.
The breast muscles of birds,
whi¢ch are the largest source of
white meat, are their wing pull
ers. Since “Wingless,” as the
erudite Princetonians called the
freak, had no wings, he needed no
wing muscles. Hence, ‘Wingless”
was also breastless. Ali he he-had
to offer for dinner were. drum
sticks, back and neck.
The current wingless breeder,
veterinary Peter Bauman of Des-
Moines, claims the grounded
chickens would develop tremen
dous, luscicus drumsticks, since
they do so much walking.
Not so, answers Frank E. Mus
gsehl, chairman of the poultry de
partment at the University of Ne
braska.
“Take away the wings and soon
you will be getting wingless
runts,” he says.
He thinks that, without wings,
the chicken is liable to become
thin and lean. He, like the
Princeton poultry profs, known
that the wing muscles are what
make the breasts so thick and
tender:
Ot course all the pro and con
clucking about white meat and
drumsticks ignores one large seg
'm_ent of Americans — those who
like wings.
As for Dr. Renwald, he's as
mildly amazed at the new excite
ment as he was over all the pub
licity he got back in 1929, And
he's still eating chickens with
wings.

IV Fights 1
Cattle Killer
WASHINGTON— (NEA)—The
Food and Agricultural Organiza
tion of the Unite ' Nations has a
plan to rid the world of dinderpest
the most deadly ecattle disease
known. |
It would operate under Presi
dent Truman’s Point IV program
~-helping backward countries
with American know-how.
FAO experts believe that with
$500,000 spent over a two-year
period, they could make a big
start toward eradicating this dis
ease from the face of the earth.
Rinderpest kill more than
2,000,000 head of cattle each year,
It does its damage in Africa, Asia,
'and the Far East. So far it hasn't
lstruck the Nurth American con
tinent,
| But fear that the rinderpest
‘germ might be introduced to
American cattle as an enemy
method of sabotage during World
War II is what led to the devel
opment of an effective vaccine
against it. American scientists de
veloped a method of manufactur
ing the vaccine in mass produc
tion by growing the germ cultures
in eggs.
After the war, FAO experls
took over the work. They set up
shop in China and started manu
facturing the vaccine there.
Now, FAO's main effort against
rinderpest is begin concentrated
in Siam. The {irst batch of vaccine
will be produced there this sum
mer.
Cooperative action among coun
tries is necessary in order to fight
this disease successfully, and in
ternational meetings were begun
last year.
Rinderpest is much more deadly
and contagious than huff and
mouth ‘'isease which is now rav
ishing hercs in Mexico. Humans
aren't directly affected by either
disease. :
