BAKER COUNTY NEWS
Woman-of-the-Week
MRS. HJALMAR PROCOPE
Uncertain of his nation’s fate,
Finnish Minister to the U. S.
Hjalmar J. Procope kept mum
about his marriage plans until
Finland came to terms with Rus
sia. After that he lost no time.
Bundled aboard a U. S.-bound
steamer was Miss Margaret Shaw
of Yorkshire, England. Minister
Procope met her at the dock in
New York. Next day they were
married at the Fairfax, Va.,
home of R. Walton Moore, coun
selor of the U. S. state depart
ment, by the Rev. F. Y. Joki of
the Brooklyn Finnish-Lutheran
church. Ahead, before the Pro
copes settled down in Washing
ton, was a southern honeymoon.
MON-MON-MONEY:
The house slapped through a mere
billion dollar Labor-Security appro
priation, voted down about a quar
ter of a million for the ailing Na
tional Labor Relations board, which
has been getting a panning on many
fronts, and approved $17,450,000 for
the National Youth administration.
The Civilian Conservation corps,
one New Deal institution generally
approved by Tories and pinks alike,
stood in for $50,000,000 worth of gov
ernment gold.
The President got back to his of
fice desk after a lengthy and fevered
cold. He talked to Sumner Welles,
fresh in from Europe, and gave out
.indications of pessimism as to any
early peace abroad. Opponents of
the President hinted that he did not
want peace abroad, until the allies
won by a knockout. Senator Van
denberg got off an epic: “Let’s swap
horses, and stay on this side of the
stream.” Senator Taft hinted that
the New Deal was heading toward
a totalitarian state; a statement
with which many calm political sci
entists, who neither like nor dislike
fascism, tend to agree.
But, despite Vandenberg and Taft
and others, Secretary Hull succeed
ed in beating the Pittman amend
ment to the Trade Agreements res
olution, which would restore to the
senate the power to ratify all future
reciprocal trade pacts. Vanden
berg, at this point, declared that the
Roosevelt-Hull trading system would
cost Uncle Sam his shirt. It was
a close senatorial vote: 44 to 41.
The New Deal tide was promoted by
three anti-Roosevelt Democratic
senators, who evidently preferred
Hull, whom they consider /One of
the Boys. It was a lucky thing for
the White House, that it had not
succeeded in purging these three,
way back in pre-war 1938.
SUPREME THE COURT:
Our top tribunal found guilty the
Ethyl Gasoline corporation, in an
anti-trust case. Ethyl, despite her
attractive name, was accused of li
censing jobbers in away contrary
to the public weal. At the bottom
of the case was an anti-knock com
pound . . . Also, according to the
court, the Federal Communications
commission may license new radio
stations freely, without bothering
about the weal of other radio sta
tions . . . Also, Judge Gordon, of
the Washington federal district
court, declared that trade unions
were just as liable as anybody or
anything else, under the Sherman
anti-trust law, including the serious
charge of criminal conspiracy. This
decision was good news to capital
ists the country over.
MURDER DE LUXE:
It is hoped that the English and
Nazi newspapers do not go to town
on tidings from Brooklyn, N. Y.
There the mass-murder racket in
vestigation continued under Dis
trict Attorney O’Dwyer. *lt turned
out that the mass-murdering outfit
maintained branch offices in various
cities, on a truly national scale. Kid
Twist Abe Reles told astonishing
details; one poor music publisher
had been shot down on the errone
ous suspicion that he was a Dewey
witness. Three important Brooklyn
witnesses were held at SIOO,OOO bail
apiece, “for their own safety.” One
gangster was arrested; he had given
Scarface Al Capone that famous
scar. His name was Frank Galluc
cio.
UP ABOVE:
The American airplane transport
system is fast becoming one of the
nation’s good boys. We point with
pride: Once we viewed with alarm.
A full year has just passed without
a single death or serious injury to
any passenger, pilot, steward, or
innocent bystander on the U. S. air
ways. This encouraging figure
takes in well over two million trav
elers, and nearly 90 million aeria
miles. The statement came from
the Civil Aeronautics authority
which has no axe to grind.

LAMB CHOPS EN CASSEROLE MAKE A “BUSY-DAY DINNER”
(See Recipes Below)
Busy-Day Meals
There’s something about the first
Warm, sunny days of spring that
makes a woman don her working
clothes, roll up her sleeves and get
started on house cleaning.
In spite of all the work involved,
spring cleaning does give your spir
its a lift. And it’s very apt to spur
you on to such heights that unless
you’ve planned your cleaning cam
paign with all the finesse of an army
general, the end of house cleaning
is likely to find you with a shining,
immaculate house, but an exceed
ingly weary body and a very dis
turbed family! But with a definite
plan of action to
guide you, even
your meals can
be served on
schedule, and
they can be good
meals; a simple
meal with a hot
main dish that
can be partly pre-
pared the day before, is one solu
tion to the problem of how to keep
your family well fed and happy even
at house cleaning time.
Plan a meal that requires little
watching, one that is easy to serve
and one that won’t be spoiled if it
isn’t eaten on the stroke of 12:00.
Serve the meal‘‘help-yourself-style,”
using paper plates and napkins, be
cause these are the things that make
hot meals practical even in the thick
