I turn my ob.servance from the sea to the seaport where we arc located, namely Boston. Here, mo:c than in Norfolk, Baltimore, or San l>iego. I see ships from every port of the world. Although New Orleans and New Yoik absorb" most shipping Irom ‘•south of the border,” Boston still tiades with South America. Kiirot)c itrovides the largest ex- thaiigo, however. The waterways hero extend all around the city and many ships go through the draw" bridge far up inland. Thus the V. hole area is devoted to shipping. Boston has a most colorful his- to'.y. I think the first history that my skull ever absorbed was about the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Bunker Hill. The Boston Massa cre was sandwiched in there some- Mhere, too. hut we've forgotten all that since Churchill came along. I gue.ss Bostonians have forgotten, too, but they put up monuments and tried to remember. This old seaport is also supposed to be a center of culture, with such institutions as Harvard, Radcliff, and Massachussetts Institute of Technology, I wpnt over to visit Harvard a few days ago in hopes of at)sorl)ing some of their high breed- iiig, l)ut found that even at a place so full of knowledge, it is not radiat ed at you like sunlight. In fact, the place looked very dull and dreary to me ,is if everyone was bored with higher learning. It Is built in typical oty fashion with about a hundred buildings on two acres of land. It seems to me that knowledge would grow faster if it weren’t planted so thickly. .\ file of we sailors got lost in the lil>rary ;it Harvard. I hud never known that so many books existed. Kvery exit that we tried to escape from Just led into anothor boulevard of hooks. Rows, alleys, streets of dmtiels for .sale at The Neivs office. books crossing, wlndinj: and extend ing endlessly. We finally induced u •'guide" to maneuver us out of this iuiigle of printed leavss. Being an .'vmerican, you would like to write ii book, also, but remeniber that you may lose your best friend in this maize of black and white. Boston is full of good entertain ment, or, as we sailors say, it's a good liberty town. Tluro is alway,i somctblng new and different to do. Variety like baseball frames, plays, -■oncorls, ballets, ice shows, and ballrooms always furnish pleasure. The cold and rainy tveather has kept mo from the baseball grounds, hut I have thoroughly enjoyed the music and dramatics. Two of the best were Maurice Avails in "Hanv let,” and Victor Herbert's musical) "'riie Red Mill.” A cfsual observ ance of .the ballrooms gave me the key to the question of why northern ers are fascinated by dancing while southern moralists denounce It. Both ■ire right, for in the south dancin;)' has come to bo associated with beei' arlors and juke joints) Our Yankee friends do not approve of that sort of practice either. As demonstrated by Ronald Cole; ;nan in the forthcoming movie, ‘‘Th«i l„ato George Apley,” Bc-stonlans are, a strange clan. Their speech is dlf- I'erent from other New Englanders, and they claim to think differently! In comedy, a person from Worchos-;; lor, forty miles away, .s spoken otj a.s a forc-lgnor. The society of Bea-j; coil Street has held .somewhat to the si iff formality of the English) and to the moral codes of the Puri-i tan era. But through the formality,, emerges a hospitality second only; to Dixie. I like the North bettor for having soon Boston! Potato acreage, goals for 1947 have been revised downward by the, U. S.

State College There is a simple trick to turning jellied cranberry sauce, or any other jelly, out of a can without spoiling the shape of the mold. Pood special ists of the U. S, Department of Agri culture say punch a small hole in the bottom of the can flist. Then ' remove the top with an op-sner that h14co8 the tin evenly around the can. { q'ho hole in the bottom allows enough air to get In at this point so that the Jolly will slide out easily ^ without the help of n knife. , Food specialists of the U. S,- De partment of Agritulture report that u slice of apple may bo used to loosen .brown sugar which has be come hard and lumpy. Brown sugar hardens when allowed to dry out. To restore the moisture, put the su gar In a tight container, a largo' glass Jar with a screw top or a metal 'Sanister, and include a slice of apple on a bit of waxed paper so the ap- j |)le does not touch the sugar. In a. few days the sugar will absorb' onougli moisture to be loose again. To prevent brown sugar from hardening, put it into a glass jar when the package is opened and Heop it tightly closed.
