ASSOCIATIONS ASK YOU
START FIGHTING FIRE
NOW—NOT TOMORROW!
During the first seven months
of this year, according to the Na-
tional Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers, the estimated fire loss was
$187,650,000, as compared Ayith
$190,400,000 during the same pe-
riod of 1940.
In the light of the fact that
industrial output was substantial-
ly greater this year than last,
that is a real achievement. It in-
dicates that the public is cooper-
ating with these agencies, public
and private, which are combating
fire. But it is not enough.
Our fire loss is still unnecessar-
ily high. A direct loss of $187,-
000,000 means a great indirect
loss, in time, labor, loss of busi-
ness, etc. Far more important
than money values is the waste of
materials and resources involved.
Strict defense priorities are show-
ing up that we can afford no
waste today. At best, there will
be barely enough for defense
needs and normal needs. Every
fire, big or small, leaves us less!
At this time fire prevention
agencies are carrying on aggx-es-
sive campaigns to awaken every
community in this country to the
fact that one ,of the most effec-
tive defenses against fire is en-
actment and enforcement of a
modern fire prevention ordinance.
The early response has been ex-
tremely encouraging. Insurance
agents, fire marshals, firemen, civ-
ic leaders, and others, have
pledged their cooperation. Every
American town, no matter how
small, should participate. The
tiny village no less than the great
city can provide fire defense. The
.National Board, 85 John street,
New York, will provide, free to
interested persons and groups,
fire prevention plans and ideas.
Start fire fighting now — not
tomorrow! Make it a 24-hour-a-
day community activity. That is
the way to lick one of the ene-
mies of American defense.
CHARGE PAMPAN
IN LEFORS CASE
HARDER TO GET
‘TIME’ CREDIT
When retail stores opened Tues-
day after a Labor Day holiday,
it was more difficult to obtain
long-term installment credit.
Federal reserve regulations gov-
erning installment buying went in-
to effect as the government took
another step to curb inflation.
The regulations were designed
to lessen competition in the man-
ufacturing industries between or-
ders for consumer goods and ae-
ticles needed in national defense.
No longer will credit merchants
be able to offer prospective pur-
chasers enough furniture to fill
a house for $1 down and $1 a
week. No longer will automobile,
dealers, new and. used, be permit-
ted to sell their cars for less than
one-third of the purchase price
as down payment.
The federal reserve regulations
will require larger down payments
on 24 articles varying from 33x/2
per cent on automobiles to 10 per
cent on household furniture and
pianos.
No credit for any of the 24 ar-
ticles may be extended for more
than 18 months. The 18 months
limitation also will apply to in-
stalment loans of modernization
and repair of private dwellings.
Chairman Marriner S. Eccles
of the federal reserve has warned
the public to expect additions to
the list of articles covered by the
installment regulations.
Informed officials expressed
Murder charges were filed in
Pampa Tuesday afternoon against
A. E. Cade, 50-year-old railroad
worker of Pampa, who shot him-
self in the head in Bovina less
than 24 hours after he is alleged to
have slain Constable Bill Cum-
berlidge of LeFors.
The suspect, who was first re-
ported to have been succssful in
efforts to take his own life, was
still alive tonight at the Clovis
Memox-ial hospital.
The single bullet had penetrated
his bx’ain and attendants texuned
his conditioxx critical.
Cade regained partial conscious-
ness late last night, according to
Clovis hospital attendants. He was
able to recognize members of his
family Avho had rushed to his
bedside.
Two sons reached Clovis early
Tuesday afternoon. The wife and
a daughter followed later in the
afternoon.
The discovery of the seriously
I wounded Saixta Fe fuel foreman
climaxed a Panhandle-wide hunt
staged by officers after the car
which was involved in the LeFors
slaying was found near Kings-
mill yesterday afternoon.
Cumberlidge was slain when he
was called to the front of his
home and shot twice — once be-
tween the eyes and once in the
heart. His wife said she heard
(the shots and then saw a big
grey sedan drive away.
A filling station operator re-
ported to officers that a short
time before the shooting a man,
apparently drunk, appeared at his
filling station and asked direc-
tions to Cumlbei’lidge’s home. He
was driving a large grey sedan.
Yesterday a grey Packard se-
dan was found abandoned near
Kingsnxill. A check of records
showed that it belonged, to Cade.
Cade, who was found in the Bo-
vina railroad station, had fired
one shot in an effort to take his
own life. Thi’ee bulets had been
fired by t'h weapon, however.
Officers here attributed the mo-
tive of the slaying to revenge.
Cumbrlidg had arrested the rail-
road man Satxxrday night on a
chax’ge of dx’unkenness. However,
he was relased on px’omise to re-
port to answer the charge Monday.
Cade failed to report to court
and at about the same hour that
he was to have aixswex*ed chax’ges
the constable was slain. Cade was
identified in the Clovis hospital
by two sons and by officers from
Pampa.
A resident of Pampa for the
past four years, Cade had been
xvith the iSlanta Fe for 24 years.
Funeral services for the slain
constable were incomplete Tues-
day night pending axu-ival of a son
Avho is noAv on army maneuvex’s in
Louisiana. He is survived by his
AvidoAV and txvo sons.
Avould be appreciably more severe
than the restrictions xvhich be-
came effective today.
Among the ai’ticles covered by
the regulations Avere cars, radios,
motorboats, Avashing machines,
vacuum cleanex’s, refrigerators,
sexving xxxachines, furnaces, air-
conditioning equipment, and musi-
cal instruments.
Merchants doing credit business
xvill be contx'olled by a special li-
censing system. Individual licen-
ses issued by the federal reserve
will be required after Jan. 1, 1942.
Until that time, the merchants,
after filing required registrations,
UJLi,iwa.o cAFiraoCu may operate under general licens-
the viexv that later changes in the > es already issued by the federal
installment credit x’egulations x’eserve.

The quality of Avheat and floxxr largely depends upon the =
purity and variety of.' Avheat planted on the farm. Handling and 1
processing cannot change the inherent quality of the Avheat. |
Good1 quality flour is produced only from good quality Avheat va- B
rieties and consumer demand for flour depends largely upon the 1

Bring the tartness and sweetness
of fruit into play with fresh, crumbly
cake, top with a dash of whipped
cream and you have summer’s an-
swer to a delectable dessert.
Garden-fresh berries peeking out
from under their green foliage
or fruit hanging
heavy and ripe on
richly laden
branches deserve
your best atten-
tion for they’ll do
mighty nice
things by your
meals. Since most
of the fruits need no cooking you are
doubly sure of getting the full quota
of minerals and vitamins which they
have to give.
Cherries bright and red make a
tart and colorful dessert which you’ll
enjoy serving. If using the fresh
ones pit and sugar them before us-
ing.
When I asked my mother how she
made her extra delicious shortcakes,
she replied, “There’s nothing to it,
my dear; just biscuit dough—but
make the dough short and the fruit
sweet!” This tip is a good one. I
hope you’ll follow it when trying:
Old-Fashioned Shortcake.
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
Vi teaspoon salt
% cup shortening (8 tablespoons)
% cup milk
Sift flour, measure, add baking
powder and salt, sift again. Work
in shortening until mass resembles
coarse meal. (If you want to, add a
tablespoon of sugar and an egg and
count the egg as part of your liq-
uid.) Now, add enough milk to make
a soft dough, one which you can
barely handle. Turn onto lightly
floured board, knead a few seconds,
divide in half. Pat one half about
one-fourth inch thick into deep but-
tered 9-inch cake pan. Butter top
and pat second portion of dough in
layer over first. Brush on softened
butter and bake about 20 minutes in
hot oven (450 degrees F.) When
baked, pull layers apart, spread sug-
ared fruit on bottom layer, stack
second one, crust-side down, on this,
cover with more fruit, then with
whipped cream and a garnish of
fruit!
Variations from the original type
of shortcake which we all know so
well are much in
order. Some peo-
ple prefer a
sponge cake base
rather than a bis-
cuit dough and
for a real individ-
ual treatment of
this type, you
might like to try one with a custard
filling for cool deliciousness. Since
it is a trifle more elaborate than
shortcake, this Cherry Sponge Cus-
tard Shortcake is ideal as a dessert
for company. You’ll need this sponge
cake as a base:
Hot Water Sponge Cake.
4 egg yolks
1% cups sugar
Vi cup boiling water
IV2 cups cake flour
% teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon'lemon or vanilla
extract *»»**•-«>•*•*• --------
4 stiffly beaten egg whites
Beat egg yolks until very thick;
gradually add sugar and continue
beating. Add water, mix well, add
flour sifted with baking powder. Mix
until smooth, add flavoring. Fold in
egg whites. Bake in ungreased pan,

%, cup sugar
Vs cup flour
y4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups milk, scalded
1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine dry ingredients with
slightly beaten egg yolks; stir in
enough hot milk to make a thin
paste. Then add paste to remain-
ing milk and cook over boiling wa-
ter 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Cook 10 minutes longer. Cool and
add vanilla.
If you top with fresh cherries be
sure they’re sweet enough. Then gar-
nish with whipped cream. Frozen
berries need only be thawed and
more sugar added if required.
If you want to make a sponge
cake base and use just berries, then
plan a lovely sur-
prise so no one
will even suspect
they’re getting a
berry dessert.
Make a sponge
cake using a reg-
ular 9 or 10 inch
cake pan. When
the cake is still warm cut a round
circle in the middle of the cake
about an inch from the edge. Lift
this out carefully keeping it whole.
Into the hollow put in sugared ber-
ries or peaches or bananas mixed
with sweetened whipped cream. Re-
place the cake top, wrap carefully
in a slightly damp towel and chill
for 3 to 4 hours. Garnish before
serving with whipped cream or
sprinkle with powdered sugar.
They’ll come back often for this one.
For luscious, shortcake puddings,
there’s nothing like a juicy cobbler.
Here’s a recipe made for large
quantity, excellent if you’re plan-
ning a church supper:
Cobbler.
(Cherry, Blueberry or Peach)
5 quarts fruit
2 quarts juice
Biscuit dough
5 cups sugar with cherries or berries
2V2 cups sugar Avith peaches
Pour fruit and juice into square
cake pans. Add sugar and mix
lightly. Cover with biscuit dough
(approximately %-inch thick) made
in proportions of 1% quarts flour,
2% cups milk, 1 tablespoon salt,
4 tablespoons bakinVj powder and %
cup shortening. Bake in a hot oven,
400 degrees F., from 30 to 40 min-
utes. Serve hot with cream.
A light, easy-to-make dessert is
the best one with which to bring
a hearty supper to a close. With
raspberries at their brightest and
juiciest, this combination with a gra-
ham cracker crust and frothy me-
ringue will really be hard to resist.
Red Raspberry Fluffs.
(Serves 6-8)
Mix and press in a square pan:
IVz cups rolled graham crackers, Vi
cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons
sugar, and a dash of cinnamon. CoV'
er that with a meringue made of 4
egg whites stiffly beaten and V2 cup
of sugar folded in the whites care-
fully. ------------- -
Bake this in a slow (300 degrees)
oven for 20 minutes. Cool. Spread
with 2 cups of sweetened red rasp-
berries and whipped cream.
♦Asparagus With Broxvned Butter
And Crumb Sauce.
Asparagus, tender and green,
should be cooked gently so as not
to lose its color. It cooks quicker
when stalks are tied in bunches.
Stand them up in boiling water in
a deep narrow pan. The steam will
cook the tips while the water bub-
bles around the stalks.
Instead of serving plain butter,
try broxvning it for a change, season-
ing it and then adding a teaspoonful
of fine bread crumbs. Have this
piping hot and pour it over the as-
paragus just before serving.

not been for defensive measures.
Our base in Iceland, the Presi-
