COOKING WITH SUN’S RAYS The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cul- tural Organization reports that a kitchen range has been developed in India which utilizes the sun’s rays as its source of fuel. Construction of the range is based on the use of a series of mirrors, of varying shapes and sizes, which are mounted on tripods. In the center of one large convex mirror is a pres- sure-cooker, on a base of glass. With the energy supplied by the sun’s rays falling upon these mirrors, the pressure- cooker prepares meat for the dinner table in half an hour. It cooks vegetables in ten minutes. In this field, it seems, Indian scientists have the jump on scientists in this coun- try. . The problem in India has been about spotlighted be- cause of the lack of an adequate supply of the usual ener- gy sources in that country. In India, domestic fires are used primarily to prepare food, since no artificial heat is needed to heat homes. Thus, if a range can be developed which utilizes the sun’s rays for cooking, the fuel prob- lem in India will have been partially solved. Eventually, scientists believe, the sun’s rays will be used as a source of energy to heat homes as well as to supply the source of heat in cooking. An expert is a man four hundred miles from home. The freshest thing in spring is a high school girl in | her new spring oitfit. Whether you realize it or not, about a sixth of 1952 has already passed into history. The only unvarying law we know of is that on tip- ping. The receiver never refuses the tip. How many citizens of Monroe County have any idea of what subjects their children study in school! When you run into the fellow who knows a little bit more than you do, on every subject, you have run into a | gas bag. The fellow with the loudest mouth is usually the one with the smallest brain, and seldom fails to advertise the fact, for some strange reason SLICE OF HAM HAL BOYLE . SAYS By HAL BOYLE KANSAS CITY (®—It is a long road back to childhood. It is hard to find the way. Coming back to the home of his boyhood, a man finds it hard to forgive the changes. He has a vague resentment that things don’t stay just as he left them . . . just as he holds them in memory. He misses the neighbors who have died or moved away. Who cut down that tree in the back yard he climbed as a kid? The patch of blue sky looks bare and new. And the elm tree in the front yard. How did it ever get that tall? Somehow he feels a stranger in the old house, lonesome because it has changed as much as he has. He has lost some hair and got a new false tooth. And the house has beer shingled, papered, and modernized with & new sink, another bathroom and a fine gas furnace. I always have this lost feeling momentarily when I return to visit our family home here. It is old enough to be getting hardening of the rafters. But instead it is get- ting disgracefully younger and younger looking as I get more and more middle-aged. Why should a man age and a house grow young? What kind of a world is that? The nicest thing in our old home right now is my 8-year-old niece, Kathy, the prettiest cowboy in the block. Kathy is at an age when she is losing her belief in the East- er bunny but still has a firm faith in the angels. “I prayed you would come back —and you did,” she told me. “I used to pray wher you were away at the war or somewhere, and you came back then, too.” Although Kathy is glad to see me, the thing she really likes best about my visits is that I sleep in her bed and she gets to sleep with her grandma, which is a great | privilege. We had a big family reunion dinner the other evening. Everyone ate heartily, and after we all went to bed the house be- gan to vibrate from the snoring, er joined the chorus. Little Kathy immediately began to shake her. “Grandma, grandma, wake up!” she cried. ‘‘You sound just like a lion!’ There is nothing like children to keep a house from growing old, and I guess it is Kathy who keeps our house vital and young. She |has as her own room now the room in which dad and mother slept when they first moved there with five children more than 30 years ago. One morning I awoke early and went downstairs. The steps still creaked betrayingly, just as they had years before when any of the | boys tried to creep silently up them after coming home late. Sitting alone in the silent living |room, a room full of old family memories of quarrels and kind- ness, tears and warmth, I had the feeling of being a prisoner be- tween two worlds—the restless present and the lost, unchangeable past. | I walked to the big, old-fashioned front door and looked out. Up the street came two young boys, de- livering the Sunday newspapers. hi looked like brothers, and ars ago my older broth ard, and I had walked igh the dawn streets this same way, laughing, jostling and argu- jing as we threw the morning pa- pers — kerplunk! — on the front porches. I stepped out on the porch and pickec our paper. The two boys jlooked at me curiously, then walked on. I watched them go. and it was as if I stood on a little platform in time — watching my- self and my brother live together | again a lost morning part of our | lives. } Somehow it gave me the thing l every one comes back to fi and when I went de the door I felt he at last, and at peace with the past.
