Most Panhandle business firms have
joined in congratulations to the Senior
Class of Panhandle High School in this
week’s Herald. Panhandle is always proud
of its graduating class.
The Herald will have considerable com-
mencement material in next week’s issue.
It is always difficult to carry too much
extra material in an issue and give proper
attention to the regular news items.
Texas Democrats will meet in San An-
tonio Tuesday for purpose of electing dele-
gates and alternates to the Democratic
convention at Chicago; also to elect na-
tional committee man and woman. For a
good many years the convention has creat-
ed considerable excitement.
Crop prospects are much improved over
1951. Yet a year ago The Herald reported
8.05 inches of rain for the 24 hours end-
ing at 7 a. m. May 16 and 11.45 inches
for the two days ending at that time.

Budget Stretcher—New Ice Cream Balls
'.tC 1*52
Sugar-crisped Ice Cream Bails—a glamorous dessert for a May Shower
(for the June bride, of course), for that special Spring luncheon party, or
as a quick-and-easy finishing touch to any festive meal.
Refreshing as Spring itself and just as appealing are these balls of ice
cream, rolled in sugar-crisped wheat cereal and coconut—then topped
with a rich, smooth chocolate sauce. Whether the ice cream is home-made
or bought at the corner store, all you will need is one pint to serve five,
since the toppings will make it go farther.
Another nice thing about this party dessert is that it requires so little
advance preparation. You can toast the coconut and make the sauce the
day before. The ice cream will keep in the freezing compartment of your
refrigerator until you are ready for it. Then, when dessert time arrives,
slip quietly into the kitchen, shape the ice cream into balls (a scoop or
large spoon is helpful), and roll these balls in the coconut and cereal
mixture. Sauce them with chocolate and present them with pride.
Sugar-crisped Ice Cream Balls
1 cup candy-coated puffed wheat cereal
% cup coconut, toasted
1 pint vanilla ice cream
Chocolate sauce
Combine cereal and toasted coconut in small bowl. Shape ice cream
into balls and roll in cereal and coconut mixture. Place one ball in each
serving dish. Serve at once with chocolate sauce. Makes 4 or 5 servings.

Young Israel State Adds
Marble to List of Exports
The young state of Israel is tak-
ing another step in its vigorous
drive for self sufficiency by export-
ing marble from quarries unused for
almost 2,000 years.
The first major shipment. of Is-
raeli , marble, three tons for use in
a new Brooklyn synagogue, arrived
recently in New York in the Israeli
flag freighter “Henrietta Szold.”
Building stone thus is added to the
nation’s already important exports,
which include citrus fruits and cut
and polished diamonds.
In addition, plans are under way
to revive the once-flourishing trade
in potash extracted from the waters
of the Dead Sea. Intensive oil ex-
ploration is being conducted in
areas which geologists consider ex-
ceptionally promising. Israel al-
ready has a modern oil refinery at
Haifa.
Marble played an important part
in building construction in Biblical
times, but it is not believed to have
been exported in any quantity.
Solomon’s temple contained stone
described as marble. King David,
gathering the material for his son
Solomon to use in the temple, said
in the First Book of Chronicles that
he had obtained “marble stones in
abundance.”
Most modern authorities believe,
however, that the “marble’.’ used in
the temple was actually a glistening,
soft white limestone, quarried near
the Damascus gate of Jerusalem,
rather than the metamorphosed,
crystalline limestone that is marble
by today’s standards.
Modern—But Mellow
An inviting kitchen containing
cabinets and counters with a natu-
ral wood finish has walls painted in
a velvety gray-green. Against this
background the copper pans that
hang near the range show to espe-
cial advantage. The wood tones of
the cabinets appear again in the
brown and buff pattern of the lino-
leum. On the chairs at the break-
fast bar are cushions of a rosy
terra cotta tone that is repeated
again in the paint used fcfr the ceil
ing.
From Other Planets
From Venus the Earth, when
brightest, would appear about six
times as brilliant as Venus ever
does to us. The Moon would be
visible alongside the Earth, and
about as bright as Jupiter. As seen
from Mars the Earth,, at its bright-
est, would appear about as bril-
liant as Jupiter does to us. From
Jupiter, or the more distant planets,
the Earth would never get far
enough from the direction of the
Sun to be visible with eyes such as
ours.
Doctor Suggests Citizens’
CosKiniftee on Baby Sitters
“Every city and town in America
should appoint a citizens’ commit-
tee of three qualified persons to in-
vestigate the problems of baby tit-
ting and make necessary recom-
mendations to the proper authori-
ties.”
That is the opinion of Dr. Martin
L. Reymert, Ph.D., Consultant for
The Parents’ Consultation Service.
It was expressed today following his
review of newspaper clippings from
the nation’s press on crimes involv-
ing baby sitters, over a six month
period.
From them, Dr. Reymert has
drawn up what he calls “My Rogues’
Gallery of Baby Sitters.”
It includes a baby sitter who was
accused of strangling a 6-year-old
girl, after “a vision,” and a baby
sitter who was held on felonious as-
sault charges after beating a four-
year-old and his two-year-old broth-
er who had to be hospitalized as a
result.
Also included is a teen-age boy
“who apparently lacked the elemen-
tary information on infant care and
feeding required for the job.” After
giving beer to a year-old baby, with
obviously unfortunate results, this
young man tried to revive the dying
child with orange soda pop. A physi-
cian observed later that “the baby
might have been so intoxicated by
the beer he choked to death on the
soda pop.”
Dr. Reymert feels his “Rogues’
Gallery of Baby Sitters” would not
be complete without the 15-year-old
girl, described as “very reliable,”
who vanished from a physician’s
home with $24,000 cash. Subsequent
developments made sensational
reading for the American public. A
tragic sidelight of the case occurred
when the physician was found dead
under mysterious circumstances, ten
days after the theft. His friends and
associates observed that he had
been “suffering from a heart ail-
ment” and “disturbed by the un-
pleasant publicity.”
Bake a Cake for Dad
Swans Down Cake Flour Photo
Dad, above everyone else, deserves
something very sepcial on his day,
Sunday, June 1th. And what could
please him more than to have his
favorite family bake him his favor-
ite cake? A chocolate cake, of course
— deep, dark layers filled and frost-
ed with rich fudge frosting. And
youngsters will love to have a hand
in creating this masterpiece. With
the aid of a pastry tube even a very
young Miss can letter the familiar
phrase, "Hi Dad” on top of his cake.
He’ll enjoy this special work of art
as well as the downy-textured cake
it so appropriately decorates.

Article Says Strip-Mined
Lands Will Support Trees
“How Strip-Mined Lands Grow
Trees Profitably”—that is the title
of an article recently published in
“Coal Age” magazine and written
by Glenn H. Deitschman and Rich-
ard D. Lane, of the Carbondale, Illi-
nois, Forest Research Center, Forest
Service.
Written in non-technical language,
the article briefly points out the pos-
sibilities of growing successful for-
est crops on strip-mined areas. Re-
search has shown that the growth
rate of trees planted on these areas
is equal to or better than that of the
same trees on. unmined land. An in-
dication of the future value of these
spoil bank plantings was recently
obtained from a small experimental
cutting in a 20-year-old pine planta-
tion in Indiana. Although the trees
were immature, the harvest of posts
and poles returned a gross income
of $335 per acre.
Up to 1950, the coal companies in
Illinois had planted more than 12
million trees on 11,246 acres of strip-
mined land. Many of the earlier
plantings are coming to the age
where cultural treatments, such as
thinning and pruning, will be needed
to maintain a rapid growth rate and
to eventually produce high-quality
timber. Studies of proper manage-
ment methods in these plantatipns
are soon to be initiated by the Car-
bondale Research Center, in coop-
eration with the coal companies.

Lazy Bivalves
Oysters and scallops are lazy
members of the seafood world. Its
their native element they lie on one
side, whereas most other bivalves
live erect, standing on the edges of
their shells.
Fortune Tellers
A fortune-teller told the mother of
Hans Christian Andersen, who was
{regarded by the people of their town
as “a fool and a lunatic,” that he
some day would be “a very great
man.” On the strength of that pre-
diction, Andersen’s mother advised
her ugly duckling son to go out
into the world to seek his fortune
and thus fulfill the ambition he
cherished. While there are still
plenty of “fools and lunatics” who
consult them, fortune-tellers appar-
ently have lost their magic touch.
No great improvement seems ob-
servable either in the talents or in
the appearance of their clients, even
after several visits.
Glow, Little Glow Paint
Beyond their novelty use on toys
and lighting fixtures, phosphorescent
and fluorescent paints have exten-
sive application. Phosphorescent
paint makes control valves, switches
and dials visible on naval vessels
in case of a power failure. Black
light dials, painted with fluorescent
materials, are standard on aircraft.
Of the phosphorescent materials,
calcium sulphide gives a purple
glow; zinc sulphide, a greenish-
yellow glow; and strontium sulphide,
a bluish-white one.

Leisurely Tumbling
The successful tumble finishing of
small wood turnings and similar ob-
jects calls for the use of thin coats
of finishing material and a leisure-
ly tumbling speed so the various
items are not whirled together and
inadequately finished. The items to
be coated are placed in a circular
tank on a horizontal axis that is
similar to those in which clothes are
dried in laundries. The circular tank
is then lowered into another tank
containing the finishing material and
rotated. After it is again raised, it
is again rotated to drain off excess
material. The coated objects are
then removed and placed on racks
to dry.
