$10 For Ostrich Egg!! Should Make Good Omelette
S. Augustine, Fla., Dec. 20—(U.P.)—President Truman may or may not have eaten ostrich egg omelette during his Key West vacation. He wouldn't say.
Ever since Mr. Truman received four of the cantala-shaped eggs from St. Augustine ostrich man Jim Casper, the world has waited for report on how the huge henfruit tastes in an omellette.
The president was reticent. He would say only—through an administrative assistant—that the eggs were "very much enjoyed" at Key West. But newsmen couldn't find out if he had fun eating them or just looking at them.
So, wanting to fill the void left by the President's non-comment on ostrich eggs, we asked Chef Pete Lovell of the Alhambra hotel here to whip up a special "ostrich egg melette a la Truman" for me and 2 other guests of Casper, the ostrich man.
But it broke, and the contents umbled out. The insides resembled giant chicken egg. The yolk was bout the size of a baseball.
First Lovell knocked the huge egg against the side of the table. It took quite a healthy whack to break it. Ostrich egg shells are strong.
Using a three-quart pan, the chef added a little beer and some Alhamra sauce, made with his secret recipe, and the pan soon overflowed.
So Loveli transferred the mixture to three hotel-sized frying pans and booked it for eight minutes.
The result was fluffy, light, golden and inviting-looking. It made three melettes which measured a yard (end to end) and six inches wide.
Ostrich egg omelette would be a nice dish when you have 13 guests breakfast sometime.
It was good, much the same as a regular omelette. If anything it was little sweeter and creamiest and not a slightest bit "gramey."
If you could afford it, that is,
then you can get them, ostrich eggs
one at $120 a dozen.
Culture Tie Discovered
Lincoln—(U.P.) A human dwelling site discovered in southwest ebraska will help solve the riddle a little known prehistoric people who once lived in the Great Plains, Mott Davis, University of Nebraska anthropologist, said recently. The site near Cambridge, in central Nebraska near the Kansas line, elided stone blades and scrapers, ad unusual leaf-shaped points shioned from flint, Davis said. The ar-hip long points are almost antica to those found three years o near Plainview, Texas, and simr to others found near Hot springs, S.D., the past summer. Linking the Nebraska discovery th finds in Texas and South Dakota is a major step toward establishing the "Plainview culture" which existed in the Great Plains at last 5,000 years ago, according tothropologists.

Josef Stalin Is 70 Today
London, —(U.P.)—Premier Josef Stalin of Russia is celebrating his 70th birthday today amid a skillful propaganda campaign that has placed him in a niche just short of sainthood in the eyes of his followers.
Moving little by little into the background of the Kremlin scene he dominated so completely during the war, Stalin now is known as "Great Stalin," the "Teacher and Leader" of millions of faithful Soviet Communists the world over.
Lengthy birthday poems, a mountain of resolutions and a highway of petitions are conferring on Stalin a Georgian cobbler's son, such titles as "theoreticion and Initiator of the Transformation of Nature in the U.S.S.R."
Rallying to the call for veneration, Czech Communists produced a scroll with an estimated 9,000,000 signatures. In addition they renamed the highest peak in their country "mount Stalin" and planted a Soviet flag atop it. Five million Bulgarians signed a similar petition.
But Stalin's birthday is not marked by idolatry alone. Trains and planes are moving on Moscow bearing gifts from Communists both east and west. The keynote of birthday pronouncements is production, and still more production, in the name of Stalin.
Many of the Gifts were prosia items of everyday use intended for distribution among the Russian people—diapers, gloves and sweaters from the Germans, embroidery, beer, and lace from the Belgians, wine, wooden sheets and a coal shovel from France.
Among the prosiaic gifts were items with a rarer flavor.
French Communists gave Stalin the trumpet which sounded the alarm when vineyard workers rose against the government in 1907. German Communists sent back captured Russian battle flags. Hungarian Communists sent a ‘wonder telephone’ with which 14 numbers could be called at one time—the number of members of the Poultry-Italian Communists sent a $10,860 black Alfa roadster. Belgian Communists sent a copy of the Brussels telephone directory. Russian Communist whalers in the arctic promised to kill 60 per cent more whales this season.
One group of German Communists fell down on their promise and were forced to send the model of a planetarium. They had planned to deliver the planetarium itself but it won't be ready for several years.
Most poisonous of all snakes is the King Cobra.
