Pure fun and harmless pranks are O. K. if not done to another’s in convenience and loss. Hallowe'en, as you no doubt already know, de rived its name from the eve or vigil of All Hallows, or festival of All Saints, on the evening of Oct. 31. In England and Scotland the occasion was long consecrated to harmless fireside revelries, with ceremonies for divining a future sweetheart. So, now, young swains and maidens fair, you’d better beware! Mrs. English’s Spanish Rice Mrs. E. S. English’s Spanish Rice dish which she brought for the covered dish luncheon for the all-day meeting at the Meth odist church last week was de voured with such relish by all present that it was thought oth ers might like to have the re cipe to try out on their families. It’s really a meal-in-one, both nourishing and appetizing. Here’s the recipe as given by Mrs. Eng lish: Mix well together in baking dish, the following ingredients: 2 cups rice, slightly cooked and drained, 2 tablespoons fat, 1 can No. 2 tomatoes, 1 cup hot water, 3 tablespoons chopped onions, 1 tablespoon chopped green pep pers, 1 cup grated cheese, and one-half teaspoon salt and pinch cayenne pepper.

Golden Rule Applies To continue the subject of the Golden Rule and how to apply it in the home, as revealed in replies to hundreds of questionnaires sent out by domestic relations experts, here are a few of the answers given to keep love alive: keep the love fires burning by continually throwing fresh fuel on the flames; tell your husband every day in every way you love him; keep on cutting the bait with which you caught your fish; take a little trou ble, if necessary, as you would for a stranger on whom you wish to make a good impression; be a free-hand cook and penny-pincher; make*tJie home cheerful and com fortable; help your w'ife run her budget instead of lambasting her because she can’t make one dollar do the work of five. Going Nowhere Fast That sounds like a wisecrack but it isn’t. In fact, our sun is doing just that and in so doing makes one of the major myster ies of science. For at least two billion years now, we are told, the sun dragging all the planets along with it, including our earth, has been moving steadily in the direction of the great star Vega at the amazing rate of 378,000, 000 miles a year. By the time we reach Vega, which still cannot be for a couple of billion years or so, it won’t be there. At least, let’s hope not It’s Style She Wanted A certain Brevard housewife had been noticing her cook taking home with her the grapefruit hulls left from the breakfast table, and wondered why she should do that.

Brevard Hardware Opposite the Courthouse In A Foxhole (Editor’s note—This impressive poem was sent to The Times by Alma Kilpatrick of Brevard. The poem was said to have been writ ten by an American soldier in the Pacific.) Christ, I thought I knew ail the answers, Until Madmen started this war, I never gave you a second thought Nor talked to you before. The age-old story of Bethlehem, And the drama of Calvary, Were nothing more than mere fairy tales— Yes, Lord mere fairy tales to me. But tonight my helmet is heavy, And so is the pack on my back, Barbed wire has left me two torn hands, My feet leave a bloody track, My shoulders sag, neath this heavy gun. My body is weary with pain, And my whole tortured being cries out, For rest and release, but in vain. For the first time in my life I know. Your head hurt from a thorny crown, And your tired, bleeding shoulders ached, When that heavy cross weighed you down. Those nails cut into your hands and feet, Every inch of your flesh was torn, And your bruised body was weary, My God, once you too were care worn. But you didn’t quit—you carried on Until the grim battle was through, And now “I know” you did it for me— So I’ll go on fighting for you. I want you to know I am sorry It was my sins that put you to death, And I’ll keep on saying I’m sorry. Until I draw my last breath. Christ, I never knew that war could be, The means of saving my soul. How little I though I would find you, In this muddy foxhole.

Two more of our boys have given their lives for our country—Sgt. Harold J. McCrary and Pfc. Wa tha Powell. Finer soldiers never followed the Stars and Stripes.

Gas Fumes was very fortunate last week. Received nice letters from James Wood, CRM; Tech. Sgt. Them M. Cassell, Pvt. Ray Israel. Thanks, Sgt. Cassell, for all the nice things you said about Gas Fumes. If we can write something that interests service men, then we have accomplished our aim, and will appreciate your suggestions.

Last week we were supposed to give you some information as to making application for new “A” or “D” basic ration books, but space would not permit.
