Goodrich and her nine children wait word of their 41-year-old husband and father, jailed under Vermont's "poor debtor's law." Goodrich was imprisoned after he failed to keep up $50-a-month payments on an $800 settle- ment for reckless driving. The children range in age from two months to 14 years. STABLE TAUCS Modern Russian ideals ,and mod- em Russian procedures, are highly unpopular with all right-thinking people on this side of the Atlantic. But long before Stalin had a name, or at least that particular name, Rnssian people came to settle in Canada and the United States, bringing with them some of their customs, and memories of their faTorite dishes. You don't have, to come from behind what is now the Iron Cur- tain to thoroughly enjoy some of those dishes; and you'll find them scTTcd in noted restaurants in many places. One great favorite is called: PELEMINI One egg and 1 cup of water are added to enough flour to form a thick dough. Roll it â€" better in parts â€" until quite thin. With a small glass or cookie cutter cut rounds and put in the middle of each a piece of filling (as described below), turned round like a nut. Close the pel- meni so that each piece looks like a half moon and boil the pieces for about 20 minutes in boiling water with a little salt, or in broth, in an open kettle. If broth is used, pehneni may be eaten with the broth. But usually pelraeni are taken out of the water as soon as they rise to the surface, and are eaten with some melted butter, sour cream and grated cheese. To reheat leftovers, roll in crumbs and fry in oil. They are e.xcellent the ne.xt day. * « * FILLINGS FOR PELMENI In Siberia, where pelmeni are prepared in fall for the whole win- ter and kept in barrels, the filling for the amount of dough described above would consist of: yi lb. chopped beef and J4 lb. chopped pork (.both gr:ide A) They are to be mi.xed with salt, pepper, a grated onion, a little broth (about a cup). * • * A different filling makes a differ- ent dish. For varenniki the filling consists of white cheese mixed with a little sugar, butter, and an egg yolk. Instead of eating with grated cheese .sugar is used along with the butter and sour cream. » » • Another kind of varenniki, used in the Ukraine, is made with black cherries for a tilling. They are also eaten with some melted butter, sour cream, and sugar. * » * With meat prices still soaring, more and more floks are buying Owl instead; so here's a recipe irhich sounds a little more compli- ated than most ways of dishing up Iticken, but which I can assure you well worth the e.xtra bother. It akes a grand "main dish" when (^you're having guests, which is probably why it's called: COMPANY CHICKEN Chicken: Cut in pieces 1 (,3% lb.) fryer Wash thoroughly; pat dry.

I know of one man who said that, good as the chicken was, he liked the soup just as well or better.

Private Enterprise Biggest Essential 1 am one of the unrepentant who believe that free enterprise is essen- tial to a healthy nation. I think free- dom is necessary in order to provide scope for enterprise; but I also think that enterprise â€" real interprise, even adventurous enterprise â€" is necessary to achieve the maximum development of the vast resources of a new country like ours. In advocating freedom of enter- prise, I do not mean that govern- ments should not iiave a large meas- ure of responsibility for promoting vigorous economic activity and for contributing actively to human wel- fare. I believe tliat social security, or insurance as I prefer to describe it, like ordinary insurance, can be a stimulus and not an impediment to enterprise. I am convinced it is the duty of governments, federal, provincial, and municipal, to do everything they can effectively to improve human wel- fare and to maintain conditions fav- orable to successful enterprise and thereby to high levels of employ- ment and prosperity. We all want high levels of employment and pros- perity, but we have always said the bulk of employment should be pro- vided by private enterprise. I do not think it would be wise for any government to kill the geese that we are counting on to lay the golden eggs. â€"From an address by Rt. Hon. Louis St Laurent, K.C.

Hosea Reveals God's Forgiving Love Hosea 11:1-4, 8-11; 14:4-9 Golden Text: I will heal their back- sliding, I will love them freely. â€" Hosea 14:4a. No Old Testament prophet ex- presses God's love with more ten- derness than Hosea. His own heart- rending experience helped him to enter into God's attitude to Israel. He knew what it was to be for- saken by the one he loved. He knew the grief that comes in see- ing that one sin greviously. Yet his love continued in spite of Comer's action. He could convey God's message to backsliding Israel. God's love is seen in such expressions as, "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egj'p: â€" I taught Ephraim also to go, tak- ing t!iem by their arms â€" 1 drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they tha: take off the yoke om their jaws, and I laid meat unto them â€" How shall 1 give thee up, Ephraim? How s'nall I deliver t!iee Israel: â€" 1 will heal their backslid- ing, I will love them freely." Here is a message for backsliders today: for those who have known God's grace but have turned to the beggarly elements of the world. Peter describes tl'.eir action in the words of a proverb. "T'ne dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire." U Pet. 2:22. But God cares. "Oh ! for the wonderful love He has promised. Promised for j-ou and for me; Tho' we have sinned. He has mercy and pardon, Pardon for you and for me." Let us no longer spurn God's love, 'out turn from our sin to .lesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. "For brilliant footwork iise NUGGET every day !"

Sewing Tips That Save Time The foUowin( tips, from a gar- ment trade expert, will enable jfou to give home-Mwn garments a real professional look, beside saving you time and bother. Picking Your Pattern. Buy an easy-to-fit, easy-to-finish design with straight seams at the shoulders and sides. Try to find a becoming style with few pieces and simple detail. Study your pattern carefully, se- lecting the version you want to make. Circle it on tiie envelope and inside cutting chart. Let these be your blueprints for action. Choosing Yoor Fabric Check your pattern envelope first for fabric suggestions. The manufac- turer knows the materials best suit- ed for eacli design and the smanest fashion-wise. Buy well-labeled goods. You'll want to know if it's shrinkproof, washable, colorfast, crease-resistant; if it's all-wool, cotton, nylon, and so on. Knowing your fabric leads to style success. The fabrics most easily handled are cottons and lighter woolens with good body, in solid color, or small allover prints. If you are a beginner, by-pa?s plaids, checks, border prints, or stripes tliat require tricky match- ing. Match your sewing materials to your fa'nric at the start â€" zipper, thread, binding, hooks and eyes â€" in color. Patterns Meet Fabric: Press the fabric. Spread it on a surface large enough to hold all the pieces at once, and straig:uen care- fully. Watch the grain of the goods in laying on; your pattern pieces. Be sertain that all pieces to be cut from a fabric with a nap are going in the same direction Follow cut- ting chart to the letter. Work with plenty of pins (good quality â€" Size 4 or 5) and sharp scissors. Before cutting, mark every symbol with tailor's chalk or thread. .\ dress that's well marked almost puts itself together. Don't cut deep notches. It's eas- ier to cut pattern notches out in- stead of in â€" paricularly if the fabric frays. Basting: Wlien liand-'Dasting. wor'K on a table.- Kemove pins as you go, and a backward stitch now and then for firmness. By loosening the tension of your sewing machine, you can whirl through a firm basting stitch in a_ hurry. This is a short cut many women prefer. Slip-baste plaids or stripes on the right side for easy matching. Insert a piece of paper in the seam of a bias edge â€" sucii as a neck piece â€" to k-eep it from s:retching as you work. Stitching To avoid puckering and marking your material, test the tension of your machine on a scrap before you begin stitching. Take a short cut to secure stitchei at the beginning and end of each seam or dart by retracing several stitches on the machine. If your machine doesn't reverse stitch, lift presser foot slightly with one band, and with the other, draw cloth sk)w- ly toward you. This fastens thread. Darts are firm if you baste them from the point to the widest part Stitch from the widest part to the point. Press each seam open as you finish it. Then fitting and finishing will be easy. Stretch jersey a little for a neat job. However, always watch not to stretch bias fabric where is it joined to a straight piece. .\ puckered seam results. Before hemming a bias-cut skirty pin it to a hanger and let it hang* at least 24 hours. It will sag- at the bias grain, and the inevitable un- even hemline can be adjusted accur- ately to save alter changing. Finishing Touches: Try dress on. wrong side out, for an easy final fitting. Finish seams with care. Pinkn seams on materials that aren't eas- ily frayed. Overcast or edge-stltclf seams on raveling slik and wooL Turn a fine French seam for lin- gerie garments. Before turning a cuned seam, slash along the ec, , • to r^ieve bulk- iness. .\ professional-looking hem is a "must." To be certain â- it'^s even, wear heels wlten markingf^ .\llow about 2 inciies for a neat finished hem. Make neat gathering easy by run- ning three parallel rows of stitching about '-8 inch apart. Pull thread of each and adjust the fullness equally. Elastic thread wound on bobbin with regular thread is another an- swer to simple shirring. L'se your ironing board tor lay- ing in pleats. Pin at top and bottom. Press in, then baste. Sew buttons on fine wool -fabrics with a small stay button under- neath to relieve any strain on the fabric. Final pressing turns the trick. L'se a well-padded sleeveboard for short seams, a tailor's cushion for curved seams, particularly armholes. Regulate your iron carefully and use a pressing cloth or steam iron for your wools, acetate rayons, lined and faced garments.
