Victory In Defeat

It seems to us that one of the
concepts which more Americans
need to realize and force them-
selves to practice these days is
the idea that defeat or a
momentary set-back in one's
plans and ambitions, instead of
weakening the individual,
should strengthen him.

Defeat should always re-
activate the individual in some
curious manner, and a dis-
appointment or thwarting of
one's ambitions should recall
and refurnish the exciting
memory and the bright hap-
piness experienced during the
occasions of success.

Defeat should personify, as
nothing else can, the need to
go on, to keep plugging—the
necessity of justifying one's
existence to oneself.

The successful man is always
a lover of strategy; even a dis-
appointment or defeat can be
looked upon as strategic, and
surprisingly enough, a defeat
is often just that—the right
move at the right time, point-
ing the way to further inspira-
tion.

Today, tomorrow, or some
day not far off—those are the
words to keep in mind — in
terms of fulfilling one's own
great wish—to advance, to sell,
to produce, to serve, to fulfill
one's life in hundredfold
capacity.

Forget personal surrender;
the pause to take breath when
the need is to push on. For
victory and success comes to
the individual who presses on
when the achievement of one's
goal seems to stand a slim
chance of coming to pass.

SLATER
DAY BY DAY

Several people have asked
me for this fudge brownies
recipe.

I am no cook! After twenty
years of puttering around in
the kitchen, I can't even boil
water without it evaporating.
And anytime I cook anything
that is at all palatable, it is the
fault of the person whose
recipe I am following
—remotely.

This recipe for fudge brown-
ies is one I read in a book. It is
an old book, and the directions
for mixing say to cream sugar
and shortening together until
light and fulffy. Add eggs
which have been well beaten,
and mix thoroughly. Add milk
alternately with flour and
cocoa (sifted together) mixing
thoroughly after each addition.
Add vanilla, mix thoroughly,
etc., etc., mix thoroughly.

Well, that's too much "mix-
ing thoroughly" for me. I just
dump all ingredients into the
mixing bowl at one time and
beat rapidly for three minutes,
counting 150 strokes a minute
and scraping the sides and
bottom of the bowl often.

Really, this "quick-mix"
method turns out a smoother
batter than the old way of add-
ing one ingredient at a time,
and mixing thoroughly after
each addition.

Before beginning to mix
batter, set oven temperature at
moderately slow 350⁰ and
grease a shallow pan measuring
about 10 by 13 inches.

Now! Sift together into mix-
ing bowl:

2 cups sugar
1-1/3 cups presifted flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup cocoa

Add:
½ cup soft shortening
4 good eggs
½ cup canned milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Mix. Then beat vigorously
two minutes. Then add:
1 cup chopped nuts
Or
1 cup shredded cocoanut

Beat one minute more and
spread ¼ in. thick in prepared
pan. Bake until cake shrinks
from sides of pan — about 20
minutes. Cut into squares be-
fore removing from pan.

These brownies are nourish-
ing for the children's lunches.
They make very attractive
additions to party plates, and
they are exactly right to
supply that much-needed,
quick energy to the man of the
house when he is thoroughly
exhausted from trimming the
low hanging branches from
trees.

Columbus Visited
Middle America

It was in the area which we
now know as Middle America
that Columbus' flagship, the
Santa Maria, dropped anchor
at the end of that famous
voyage of discovery, which
started as a quest for a sea lane
to India and came upon a New
World.

Correctly defined, Middle
America comprises, according
to modern geographers, the
Caribbean Island republics of
Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican
Republic; and, on the main-
land, Mexico, Guatamela, Hon-
duras, El Salvador, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, Panama and Col-
ombia.

Long before Columbus dis-
covered the Western Hem-
isphere, however, pre-Colum-
bian peoples were carving
beautifully sculptured cities of
stone in these middle lands.

Middle America was the
heartland of the Americas, for
it became not only the home of
the most advanced peoples, but
the sanctuary where wandering
tribes first learned to farm and
thus lead a settled existance.

Last year, the Slater Manu-
facturing Co., Inc. donated
$50,000.00 to the local school
as a nucleus for a building
fund for a modern and up-to-
date high school here at Slater.
Plans for this high school have
already been drawn by Pickell
and Pickell, special school
architects, and when completed
it is estimated this school will
cost approximately $325,000.
Present plans do not call for
the erection of this school
immediately, as it is felt that
the present cost of building
materials is prohibitive and
then such materials are still
scarce.

All patrons and friends of
the school are urged to be pres-
ent at this meeting, and a large
crowd is expected.

J. A. White is Chairman of
the Board of Trustees, and the
other members are Robert H.
Atkinson and Henry Jarrard.
J. H. Barnett is Superintendent
of the local school.

Safety Meeting
(Con't. from page 1, col. 4]

and Mr. Green stressed the fact
that many accidents are pre-
ventable, and that an accident
is always costly to all con-
cerned. Throughout the confer-
ence, emphasis was placed on
the fact that there is always
economy in safety, both for the
employee and the employer.

The conference also featured
an address by the Rev. A. Carl
Adkins, pastor of the Dauphin
Way Methodist Church in
Mobile, Alabama, and president
of the Mobile Safety Council.
Speaking on the subject, "I Am
My Brother's Keeper," the Rev.
Adkins said that in the matter
of safety, we are more than our
brother's keeper — we should
consider ourselves our
"brother's brother."

further stated that this spirit
of cooperation had permeated
this entire organization and
everyone was very cordial and
pleasant from the top to the

Mr. Granger echoed these
sentiments and said he agreed
with everything Mr. Campbell
said. Both gentlemen expressed
the hope that they would be
able to return to Slater before
very long for another job.

One trouble with marriage is
that so often the parties marry
their ideal, and it turns out to
be an ordeal.—Farm Jnl.
