Ideal treat for holiday callers. Dressier than plain bread butless rich than holiday cake, Prune Nut Loaf is a wonderful bet forthe holiday season. With this inviting loaf tucked away in reserve,you can always produce a light refreshment to grownups orchildren.

Prune Nut Loaf is a compact loaf, slightly moisOftdH crammedfull of meaty prune pieces to give it a wonderfully ^ ^ •*** *>llow-to-tart fruitiness. You can slice it thin and butter, ic, ifc|6k*s theknife without crumbling. You can slice it thick and spmrd withcream cheese or jelly.

And as a final virtue, Prune Nut Loaf is simple as can be tobake. The ingredients are few, the directions simple.

1 cup butter or margarinecup sugar

2 eggscup prune juice

2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking powder

1'2 teaspoon baking sodaVz teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind *1 cup chopped pitted prunesV2 cup chopped walnuts

Cream together butter or margarine and sugar. Add eggs, one ata time, beating between each. Add prune juice and lemon rind.Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add tocreamed mixture. Mix well. Stir in prunes and nut meats. Pourinto greased 9"x 5"x 3" loaf pan. Bake in moderate oven, 350 degreesF., 60-70 minutes. Slice when cold.

•Prunes were soaked in cold water over night. The soaking waterwas the prune juice used in this recipe.

NEW PAYROLL TAXThe State Legislature seems to

be inclined to pass a payroll tax.The service part of the nuisancetax proved to be too unpopular.The payroll tax is on the order ofan income tax. There is a exemp-tion for all wage earners earning$35 or less a week. All earningover that pay 1% tax. It will raise70 to 90 million dollars about thesame as the nuisance tax. Thegovernor has given his approvalto it and Paul Bagwell has comeout for it.

MAILEAKLYFOR CHRISTMAS

"It's time to start those Christ-mas mailings!" - PostmasterLawrence Baughn said today. "Onthe calendar Christmas is almosta month away, but here in thePost Offoce it's Christmas every-day from now on."

"Actually, to get all of theChristmas gifts and cards deliver-ed on time is largely a matter ofadvance planning and prepar-ation that should be done thisweek."

''Don't take chances on mail-ing poorly wrapped packages."he said. "Use sturdy corrugatedmailing cartons, plenty of heavybrown wrapping paper, and besure that every package is tiedwith strong cord. Cartons con-taining several gift packagesshould be well stuffed with tissueor old newspapers to Cushion thecontents.*4

He said further, "If you havearticles of unusual size or bulk,better check with the Post Officebefore attempting to mail them -the limits of size and weight ofpaskages vary, depending onwhere you mail your packagefrom."

As an extra precaution againstloss, Postmaster Baughn advisedplacing both your return addressand the recipient's address on anextra label inside the carton orpackage before it is wrapped.

If you use Christmas stickers orseals, put them on the back ofyour Christmas card envelopesso that they will not conflict withthe address on the front.

It's always a good idea toplace a piece of transparent cel-lophane tape over the adSressportion of the label to preventdefacing it in transit. Most im-

portant of all, be sure to includethe recipient's full name, streetaddress, city, zone and state onyour labels.

Heres some other helpful sugrgestions from the Postmaster.Send your Christmas cards byFirst Class mail. Thev will bedelivered quicker and they'll beforwarded or returned, if it be-comes necessary. Christmas cardssent by First Class four cent orseven cent Air Mail may earnwritten messages: whereas, cardssent with Third Class three centpostage may only have a writtensignature and will not be forward-ed or returned.

It is always advisable to includeyour return name and address oneach Christmas card envelopebecause this helps your friends tokeep their lists up-tp-date and in-sures correction of your ownlist if the card is returned as un-deliverable.

Out jumped in — another jum-ped out

Secretary of State James M.Hare, although denying a reportthat he is off and running for theDemocratic nomination for gov-ernor in 1960, has left littledoubt he considers himself in therace.

State Treasurer Sanford hasjust about counted himself out.

* * *Brown, like Hare, is a three-

time winner on Gov. G. MennenWilliams' team.

A year ago, Brown was amongthose mentioned as possible con-tenders for Williams' job whenthe Governor steps down. He ranstrong in the 1958 election, dis-played an earthly touch, and cul-tivated backing in rural areas,where he was known as "FarmerBrown'1.

But Brown indicated he hasno interest in a primary struggle.

There are those in party leader-ship who say it would be just aswell if Brown did not run. Theysay it would be easy for opponentsto pick on the man who heldthe state's purse strings during the

A primary race is expected a-mong Democrats when Williamscalls it quits.

Lt. Gov. John B. Swainson isgaining support but is not him-self convinced he is ready for thebig leap.

Supreme Court Justice GeorgeEdwards, a former union organ-izer, has strong backing in laborcircles and among party leaders.But he has offered no encourage-ment to those who think it isabout time to groom an heir toWilliams' throne.

Attorney General Paul L.Adams lurks as a dark horse, asdoes Detroit city councilman EdCarey, former House minorityleader.

Democratic State ChairmanNeil Stabeler appears content tostay behind the scenes and denieshe will make the race himself.

From where I sit... fy Joe Marsh

Junior's Name was"MUD"

Red Jackson'i seven-year-old, Junior, was passing by thelocal beauty parlor the otherday. He looked, in the windowand saw a lady with one.ofthose mud packs on her face.

Busting with curiosity, hewalked in and asked her whyshe had all that stuff on. Thelady was taken back for a mo-ment but politely answered,"It's- to make me look pretty."

When the beautician re-moved the mud pack, Juniortook a close look at the ladyand commented, 'It didn'trealty work, did it?"

From where I sit, count onchildren to tell the trutb—sometimes, the embarrassingtruth. Maybe we adults coulduse more of that. For instance,maybe we ought to admit thattolerance "doesn't really work"until we eliminate all our intol-erances—even to respecting aneighbor^ right to enjoy aquiet glasstof beer.

Republicans are apt to have acandidate who will make sure aconstitutional convention is anissue. Paul D. Bagwell, GOPcandidate for governor in 1958has been keeping the issue - andhimself - before the public. ^

Bagwell has several suggestionsfor revising the constitution, in-cluding a recommendation thatgovernors get four-year terms,with a limitation of two terms.

Bagwell insists the constitutionshould not be changed in piece-meal fashion.

He said the 51 • year - oldconstitution has been amended69 times, 47 more times than theFederal Constitution.

Most Dads who hunt orshoot look forward to thetime when their sons . . . apddaughters . . . will be oldenough to join them at theirfavorite sport. But how old isold enough? With Christmasjust around the corner andyoungsters all over the coun-try begging for a gun, a realgun, one that shoots, manyparents are anxiously trytttgto determine the answer -tothat question. Recreationalleaders agree that chronologi-cal age is no yardstick. Someyoungsters are ready at 8,others at 14. The real meas-ure is that of responsibility.Would you leave your young-ster in the house alone forseveral hours? Would you

send him to the store with ashopping list and a $10 bill?If you answer "yes," chancesare he's ready to use a gun. . . under proper supervision,of course.

The inexpensive 22 rifle isthe simplest, strongest andsafest gun to use when teach-ing a boy or girl correct gunhandling. And the ear-to-eargrin that lights up the face ofa youngster who has just re-ceived his first 22 is a sightany parent will want to see. . . and remember.

CURRENT COMMENT *By PAUL W . CURLETT

An exchange tells of a mother going into a super market with hersmall son. He puts a package of food in the shopping cart and was toldby his mother to put it back as it was not cooked. Food shopping hasundergone a big change in the past 50 years. I can remember whenmost foods came in barrels and none were processed. These inchidttisugar, flour, molasses, crackers, apples, vinegar, sah syrup. Beans cof-fee, potatoes, onions in bags, Tea, prunes, etc., in wooden boxes. Peo-ple bought in large lots in those days. The supermarkets popularizedpackaged foods, even to meats and much of the food is already cookedand only needs wanning over for consumption. This has caused foodsto cost much more than in the old days of sale from barrels. Still it hasits advantages as it saves time in the kitchen and thousands of personsare employed in cooking, processing and packing the food products.

We read that the pay of teachers has lacrcaKd 53% sface 1950.Then the average pay for pabttc school teachers was $3,464, today itm $5,313. Things have certalaly aadergone a drastic change at theteachjftg iadaetry. There are mumy old toe teachers here whotaagat for $20 a moat*. They had to board around, wade thrw theSBOW la the winter, start their own fine and keep their school dean.

Qaatifications for teaching tfaea were not too high. Later theywere forced to attend six weeks summer school. StiU by 1910 auaiyteachers were trarhiag for $50 a month. Daring the two world wanmaay teachers were tared into industry by alga wages aad a teachershortage cropped op. However, it is leveling off now as industry hasnot beea taking up the manpower supply.

The TV industry is under another attack. First it was chargedtheir quiz or $64,000 question programs were fixed. Then that thepopularity ratings of certain programs were juggled and now the discjockeys are charged with TV payola, that is, plugging certain songs fora price. Charles Clay, a disc jockey admits he took $6,000 in 18months for plugging songs, and putting them on TV programs aftermaking records of them. One of the big difficulties of song writers isto get their songs popularized so as to stimulate a big record sale of it.

We know a song writer back in the old days long before TV wasdreamed of. He wrote a number of popular songs. One "Mr. ThomasCat" became so popular that it had a cigar named after it. Milt Hall,of Dexter, the writer, usually played in orchestras. For a number ofyears he was with the L. G. Fields Minstrel Show. He said it was agood way to get his songs popularized. The life of a song is usuallyshort.

• • •We were much interested in the accounts of the championship

high school football game in Detroit where St. Ambrose defeatedCooley high school for the title. St. Ambrose was outweighed sevenpounds to a man, only has 140 boys in the school which has an en-rollment of 394, whereas, Cooley has 3,062. This was evidently a casewhere quality, not quantity, counted. Back in the old days when thePinckney school only had an enrollment of 200 and but 30 boys in thehigh school, they were winning championships. Back in 1926 whenthey won a state class "D" title, they played Fowjerville at the Fowler-ville Fair. They only had 3 substitutes, Conley Ahrens, GsraldKennedy and George Hornshaw.
