The years, in looking forward, have the appearance of being long. After they've passed by, they seem only too short. As men and women advance in age they appear shorter and still shorter. Life is fleeting. ° In looking back over 1947 it has been a year of prosperity for Patton and the north of the county. What will happen in the year ahead remains with that year, but every indica~ tion is that it will be another year of prosperity, offset, of course, with steadily rising prices. some months ago, ments.

One of the greatest political upsets in recent Cambria Coun- ty history took place when the Democrats elected all the court- house officials with one lone November elections. Hot political develop- ments are promised in the com- ing year, topped off with the presidential election. Three as- semblymen will be nominated by emch party Cambria County district next April, as will a congressio candidate, and a state senator. In the state an auditor general and a treasurer come before the voters’ decision. . Indications are that the Demao- crats are going to have a cele- bration of sorts when their court- house candidates take the oath of office at high noon next Mon- day. There always are those who have interest in the newly-elected officials, and this year, that in- terest gives promise of being lots greater. ° Some of the newly-elected of- ficials will have hard work ahead of them. Particularly will this be true of the County Commissioners, who have finan- cial problems ahead that must be solved—and at once. The cost of conducting the county government has been like all the rest of the costs, only the county hasn’t benefitted by any higher taxes, any additional revenue during the lush times, but has had to pay out in higher prices just the same. ° The writer, by the mandate of the electors, has been chosen one of the three commissioners who will be confronted with this task. While humbly honored with the commissicn entrusted to him, he realizes the tremendous obliga- tions to his constituents that partly rests his decisions. It is not a pleasant task that con- fronts him. Fairness, first of all, is qur ambition. With the help of the others we hope for a sound, sensible business adminis- tration in the four years ahead. ° We want the good wishes of all. We solicit the help of all We thank the people of North Cambria County particularly for the interest that was shown in our candidacy last fall. If you have county problems we want you to bring them to us. ° The year of 1947 has been a good year for this newspaper. You'll agree dear reader that we have been endeavoring to give you a newspaper truly of inter- est to you. Advertisers have realized this, too. We have rea- son to hope that 1948 will prove a still better year for us, and the newspaper wil continue to im- for ourselves, we want it, for all the rest of you. ° Nationally and international- ly, the times have all the flavor of unrest and trouble. Like you, like our government of- ficials, we hope many of the misunderstandings that con- front this troubled world will be dissipated during the year ahead. . However, this is the holiday season. We know most of you had a joyous, happy Christmas, and may we join in the wish of all your friends and neighbors in the hope for you and yours that your New Year is a Happy and Prosperous period.

Safety Group Lists Requirements For Steering Gear State Law Requires Inspection be Complete Calling attention to the cur- rent motor vehicle inspection per- iod ending midnight on January 31, Mr. Harry Stoltz, Chairman of the Safety Committtee for Patton Area, stated today that one of the most vital safety fac- tors to be considered during in- spection of a vehicle is steering. Mechanics desire greater un- derstanding of the motorist of these corrective measures per- taining to steering mechanism. Mr. Stoltz stated that during the war and during the acute short- age of parts certain mechanical conditions had to be overlooked to permit motor car transporta- tion due to the emergency. Al- though some parts are still scarce present inspection procedure de- mands strict adherance to the law of which some of the require- ments are state as follows: All work must be done accura- tely, carefully inspected when completed. An official inspector must ex- amine all steering devices for the amount of movement that re- mains in the steering wheel. More than 2%” is cause for rejection. Front wheels must be checked up one at a time, checked for looseness, precision and worn parts such as wheel bearings, spindle, bushing tie rod ends, etc. One-fourth inch or more move- ment in top and bottom of wheel indicates excessive looseness in wheel bearing, king pins and con- trol arms and is cause for re- jection. Proper wheel alignment must be taken care of according to factory specifications. Not only do the semi-annual inspection prevent loss of life and self-injury, if provided in time, Mr. Stoltz stated there is a de- cided savings to the motorist when mechanical defects are ad- justed before the necessity for expensive repair bills are caused through neglect. Cheese Can Spread Several Diseases Many States Require Use of Pasteurized Milk Cheese is an excellent food and rates high in nutritive values. There is, however, a long list of epidemics of diseases traced “di- rectly to cheese. Making cheese should be sur- rounded with sanitary safeguards to insure a product free from dis- ease germs. Two factors if im- portance arise concerning the various epidemics caused by cheese. One endangering factor is that the cheese causing the epidemic has ben made from raw milk. Th other is that it has been sold and eaten too quickly after it has been made—it is too green. Experiments have shown that the disease-producing germs in cheese die more quickly at high than at low temperatures. If all milk and cream used in the manufac- ture of cheese should be pas- teurized and aged at a high tem- perature, the transmission of dis- ease by eating cheese would dis- appear. Sanitary regulations should govern the making of cheese just as they should cover the handling of such products as ice cream and butter. There are seven states (of which Pennsylvania is not one) that now require cheese to be made from pasteurized milk or cream, or to be held in storage for periods ranging from 60 to 120 days in lieu of pasteuriza- tion. During the past 50 years, there have been 59 recorded outbreaks of disease caused by cheese with a death toll of 117. All milk used in making cheese needs to be pasteurized.

The dishes she suggests in a recent issue of McCall's are based on prices in New York, but they are probably still around a dollar in most places: “Serve milk with these meals, for the amount of meat is small and the milk will add to the body-building proteins that you, as well as your youngsters, need every day. Add bread and fresh fruit or salad, and you'll have the kind of meals your family should have and will enjoy—at costs to help keep within your budget. VEAL PAPRIKA WITH NOODLES 1b. veal shank tablespoons flour tablespoons margarine tablespoons chopped parsley tablespoon dry mustard tablespoons paprika 1, teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon garlic 14 easpoon summer savory Few grains red pepper 2 cups hot stock 4 sliced carrots 4 white onions 1 pkg. wide noodles “Get your butcher to slice the veal shank in 4 thin slices and pound it very thin. Meat should then be cut in squares and dusted lightly with flour. Brown it in margarine over very low heat. When it’s nice and brown, add everything except vegetables and noodles. Cover and cook very slowly about 15 minutes. Then add vegetables, cover again and cook slowly another 45 minutes. While this is going on, prepare noodles according to directions on the package. Serve the whole business on a large platter. This is enough for 4 people with good winter appetites.

In the meantime, heat the salad oil in a good-sized frying pan and brown garlic and onion in it. Now combine all your ingredients except meat and sim- mer another hour. The beans should be tender by this time. Eat a couple just to see. If, in the course of cooking, the beans appear a little dry, better add more boiling water. While beans are cooking, make small meat balls and brown them in hot fat. Add them to top of beans 15 minutes before you're ready to eat. Enough for 4 hearty eaters. bk RO = DO 03 DO SPICED PORK LOAF medium potato can spiced pork pd fd egg No. 2 can (or 2% cups of cooked) tomatoes tablespoon brown sugar cup chopped onion cup chopped green pepper teaspoon dry mustard teaspoon sage teaspoon salt cup stock CON BN pt ge BN SS 1 teaspoon white sugar % teaspoon basil 2 tablespoons flour 2 tablespoons water “Cook and mash the potato.
