He had helped to grow them, he said. Probably he had, for they were little pumpkins, squat and round. Just right for jack-o-lanterns. We bought a couple of course and will use them for table decoration until time to cut the faces for Halloween'en. As the garden flowers fade, it does take imagination to create attractive table decorations. Vegetables are gaining in popularity for informal arrangements. They may be placed directly on the table or on a bed of leaves, a wooden tray, or a low basket. Any colorful vegetable can be used. With the pumpkin as the high point of interest we shall use an acorn squash or two turnips, peppers, corn, carrots, snap beans, and some onions. Fresh fruit has the advantage of contributing to the meal as well as brightening the table. A few fruits, arranged skillfully in a bowl and chosen for their color relationships can make a conversation piece. Vegetables can be coated with salad oil to produce a high gloss, but fruit to be eaten out of the hand had better be polished with a clean soft cloth. Fall weather brings with it countless other possibilities for decorative arrangements in the form of seed pods, nuts, and dried weeds of unusual line and form.

While it cannot be regarded as a real source of vitamins and minerals, nevertheless it contributes more than does refined white sugar. Honey, like bananas, should not be put in the refrigerator. A cool, dry storage place is best. If honey crystallizes place the container in a bowl of warm water — not warmer than the hand can bear — until all crystals are melted. See that the honey container does not rest on the bottom of the water container. Baked ham takes on a beautiful glaze when one cup of honey is poured over it after the rind has been removed during the last 15 minutes of baking.

After all, aside from taxes, gasoline costs about the same now as in 19251" It takes a far smaller share of your income to keep your car in gasoline today. Oil men have been beating increased costs with technical efficiencies that hold prices down—and yield better gas: two gallons now do work that used to take three. That's progress. Your Progress and Oil Progress Go Hand in Hand Oil Progress Week—Oct. 12 to 18 STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better While working—on the job or around home—telephone men find these glasses virtually eliminate eye injuries SAFE SIGHT Their vision may be perfect, but most telephone men wear glasses now—special safety glasses that look like ordinary ones. Next time you see a group of telephone men at work, take a second look. Chances are you'll notice they're wearing glasses, perhaps in several different styles. A coincidence? No—for most telephone men now wear individually-fitted safety glasses, and experience has shown that they drastically reduce the danger of eye injuries. That's because they're rimmed, specially treated glasses that won't shatter or break under severe impact. In the last 2 years, they've been issued to some 20,000 Pacific Telephone men as a key part of our Eye Protection Program. And this program is actually only one part of the company-wide safety campaign that has made telephone jobs among the safest in the nation. Your telephone is one of today's best bargains Perhaps the best way to illustrate how low telephone rates are today is to compare our prices with those of other things you use every day—food, for instance. If the price of coffee, for example, had gone up no more, since 1940, than average telephone rates in Pacific Telephone's territory, you'd be able to buy coffee today for about 29 cents a pound. Far above the ground, this cable-splicer is completing an aerial splice. Looks hazardous, doesn't it? But the fact is, he's a lot safer than the average pedestrian crossing a busy street. The "messenger strand" from which his work platform is suspended will support a weight far in excess of the safety requirements. His glasses, safety belt, gloves, tools and methods of working are all carefully designed to guard his safety. And, of course—like telephone people everywhere—the observes the familiar Bell System creed: No job is so important and no service is so urgent that we cannot take time to perform our work safely. We think it's a good creed—especially important to us, to you and to the nation in these critical times.
