PAGE FOUR TOO LATE T0 CLASSIFY By RUSSELL KAY (Florida News Service) omens GOSSIP MONGERS! A young editor friend of mine, earnest, sincere and anxious to} serve his community and make it a better place in which to live, recently turned his editorial tal- ent to pointing out an evil that} was doing his town more gen-| uine harm than any other one| thing—a growing tendency of its ens to engage in idle gossip. use his message is timely and because it applies equally to} your community and mine, I am taking the liberty of reproducing it in part. While it was intended originally for a certain small} community it nevertheless con- tains food for thought for you and me and a lot of other folks, | Entitling his masterpiece “The| Right of Privacy”, this country editor said: “I am at a loss to fathom the} reason behind our community’s} sudden and passionate desire for gossip and slander concerning its! own people; its longing for half truths and ggerations about} its leading citizens. | “There has been no discrimina- tion concerning the victims of this chief summer diversion. The gossip mongers have spared few if any, of our foremost families in| their ruthless invasion of pri- vacy. | “A man’s home is his one re- treat from the horrors and filth he must encounter on the outside; it is his lone fort of privacy re- maining in this mad world of ours today. If we invade that] cathedral with insinuations or n truths, we destroy our own rights to protection against similar attacks. “More than one happy home in this town has been destroyed in the past few months a direct result of this wave of gossip, others are tottering on the brink. “There must be an about face! if we are to salvage our own self- respect and integrity. The home life of our neighbor must be} guarded if we are to expect our just share of personal privacy “We want our city to grow and build and progress, but it cannot | do so when its residents are spending most of their time spec- ulating as to which of their asso- ciates are contemplating divorce. | or weighing in their minds _ the marital happiness of their neigh- bor. “I neither condone nor con- demn divorce as an institution If a man and his wife are not compatible, I am of the sincere belief that they have the right to! separate and settle their differ- ences in a calm manner without public interference and specula- tion. “One newcomer to our munity, who has the and culture to easily f a place in our so-called society, was as ed recently why she made no ef- fort to occupy that niche. “‘One glimpse was enough’, she said. ‘I can see nothing to justify my participation in your gossip conscious social circles. I would find no pleasure in listen- ing to a group slander a who has just taken her lea would I enjoy the thought of my new ‘frie nds? taking me to piece present at their | Jr., of this city, lies, com- background nist, I am forced to he certainly hit the head in some re- admit, but nail on the has which has been spread innocently by persons other than the perpetrators, thinking their information to be authentic”. And so young Billy holds the in his town. Unfortunate however, few see therein t own reflection Readnig the editorial they applaud and confidently Mme that it is directed at somebody else. One of the worse gossips I know has the “three wise mon- ” on her dresser. “Hear No See No Evil, Speak No Evil”—but it is just a decoration as far as she is concerned.

She intro-! {duced it at the White House in| \1811. A recipe for ice cream was introduced in Europe by Marco Polo who obtained it in China. | TO KEEP MEAT j Meat is one food which, when | |placed in the ice box, should not} be covered. The cold air tends} to dry the surface and is not ad- vantageous to the growth of! | bacteria. Saaquemaee | SAVING VITAMINS ! In order to save vitamins, wa- ter in which vegetables are to be cooked should be allowed to boil one minute first.” Then the vege- tables should be cooked as rapid-: ly as possible. Where possible it’ is better to steam the vegetables. CHEESE i | Cheee is becoming an increas-! ingly popular food in this coun- try. There are now more than 400 domestic and European varie- ties of cheeses on the market, ac- cording to recent report of the dairying. industry. CANNED MILK The demand for canned milk has increased to such an extent that the annual pack now |amounts to about 2,300,000,000 |pounds. Of this huge total evap- orated milk makes up about 2,- 000,000,000 pounds and condensed milk the remainder. LAMB | Millions of lambs are raised in the West and Southwest, yet most of the meat is consumed in the Eastern states. The total of meat animals dressed during 1939 jis estimated to have included 21,- 500,000 sheep and lambs.
