day dinner leftovers were a rari-
ty in our big family. Besides, it
was fun to sneak that piece of
chicken.
The movies, a stage show, all
that kind of stuff came in second
to watching Mom making those
thin egg noodles.
She would stand aproned in the
kitchen, kneading that noodle
dough.
She was a one-woman show
making those noodles. I’d sit on
a chair turned backwards with
my chin resting on its back and *
watch this wonderful creation
taking place right before my
eyes.
Forever since I could
remember Mom used the same
old whiskey bottle Uncle El gave
her to roll those noodles out. She
could keep that dough together
as thin as the turkey in a 10-cent v*
store turkey sandwich.
Once those noodles were cut
up-and cooked in chuck roast
broth, It convinced our whole
family there truly was a Heaven.
H Mom could have only per-
formed her art on stage. With
her old whiskey bottle and the.
egg noodle dough she could have
surpassed Lillie Langtry.
In her day Langtry was called
the Jersey Lily. Mom came
within a hair of being the
“Hoosier Noodle.”
But she settled for kneading
dough and all of us kids settled
for needing her.

Let's end it
Here we go again on another
trip down memory lane.
Remember the days when
Mom sent us to the store for a
loaf of light bread.
Nowadays just saying a loaf of
bread gets the job done. But
doesn’t “light bread” make it
sound good.
And remember Mom baking a
pan of “hot biscuits.” All
biscuits are hot when they are
taken out of the oven but they
sure tasted better when Mom
said, “Get to the table and get a
hot biscuit.”
I can remember our first
refrigerator. The thing on top
was bigger than the inside. A big
round-looking deal with coils in-
side.
*Mom always referred to any
kind of refrigerator we ever had
as a Frigidaire, or for that mat-
ter, all refrigerators everywhere
were Frigidaires. Dad went to
his grave calling them ice boxes.
> There’s been many a time
Mom settled a finger lickin’ of
the cake batter bowl between
sister and me. My sister would
take half and me the other half.
The world almost came to an end
aFIlur house if her finger got
over the 50-yard line.
When we had fried chicken on
Sunday at our house there were
very few times I didn't sneak a
piece and wrap it in a piece of
paper. Under my pillow it would
go to be spved for a late night
snack when I went to bed. Sun-
The United States has launched a major diplomatic in-
itiative through the United Nations and worldwide to br-
ing about a negotiated settlement of the protracted Iran-
Iraq war that continues to impede economic progress in
the Middle East.
For seven years, the two small nations have fought to
what amounts to a battlefield draw. Neither side can win
and neither so far has shown any willingness to
negotiate an end to the costly struggle. It has been
described as a war with no victor and no vanquished.
As they should be, the United States and the U.N. con-
tinue to be vitally interested in putting an end to the war
that daily increases the risk of involving other nations,
particularly the U.S., which has pledged to protect Mid-
dle East oil shipments in the strategic Persian Gulf that
are the life blood of Western industrialized countries.
Therein lies one of the major roadblocks to settling the
Iran-Iraq conflict. Iran contends the U.S. favors Iraq
and has vowed never to agree to negotiations in which
the U.S. would participate. , '
Meanwhile, President Reagan continues pushing his
plan to put 11 Kuwaiti tankers under the U.S. flag and By preston Pendergrass

Hormuz into the Persian Gulf.
