MARKETING with Marjorie

Halloween without refreshments is like a ghost without a sheet. So even if you're not giving a Halloween party, you'll probably want to have something on hand to hand out to visitors ... something simple like these snacks. SOME PUNKINS! For miniature jack-o-lanterns that are as delicious as they are decorative, use tangy CHED-O-BIT from the A&P. Form this smooth, orange-colored cheese into balls about the size of a walnut; insert whole cloves for eyes, nose and mouth; stick each ball on a pretzel stick, and serve with sandwiches. Speaking of sandwiches ... CHED-O-BIT softened and mixed with ketchup, mustard or Worcestershire sauce makes a grand spread for bread. Try it! FRESH ROLE FOR FRESH ROLLS Smiling faces will take the place of false faces when small fry spy sandwiches made like this: Cut A&P's oven-fresh MARVEL FRANKFURTER ROLLS as you would a loaf of bread, making the cuts about 1/2-inch apart and not quite through the bottom crust. Separate the sections a bit, and fill each one with your favorite sandwich spread. MAKE IT HOT FOR GUESTS! Here's a hot drink that's sure to shoo away shivers caused by Halloween hair-raisers: To each cup of unsweetened grapefruit juice, add 1/2 cup of rich A&P GRAPE JUICE and 2 1/2 tbsps. sugar. Mix well and heat till just warm enough to drink. Garnish with lemon slices. GOOD GOBBLIN' Hungry hobgoblins play hob with cookies, so be sure to have plenty in the house come Halloween. To make 6 dozen ginger cookies, sift 3 cups of A&P's SUNNYFIELD FAMILY FLOUR, measure; add 1/2 tsp. soda, 2 tbsps. sugar, 1 1/2 tsps. salt and 1 1/2 tsps. ginger; sift again. Heat 3/4 cup molasses to boiling point and pour over 1/2 cup shortening. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Shape into roll 2" in diameter; wrap in waxed paper and chill thoroughly. Store in refrigerator. When needed, cut in thin slices and bake in moderate oven, 350° F., 8 to 10 minutes.

Healy Reports Elk Attack On Red 'Sabotage' Attempt

Charging the Communist Party with "brazen effrontery" in efforts to sabotage the effect of Freedom Train, Lafayette A. Lewis, Los Angeles attorney and Grand Exalted Ruler of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, in a statement to Andrew T. Healy, exalted ruler of Coral Gables lodge No. 1675, has declared, "The Elks eagerly accept this Communist challenge." He has directed the 1475 local lodges with more than 900,000 members to "redouble our efforts in support of this Train and its sacred documents in every city where there is an Elks lodge." Train Endorsed At the recent national convention in Portland, Ore., the order emphatically and enthusiastically endorsed the American Heritage Freedom Train. "Our order is composed of men in every walk of life, every party, every creed, rich and poor," said Mr. Lewis. "But we all are one hundred percent Americans. We say unequivocally that there is no place for Communists in our order--no place for Communists in the United States. We believe in America. We believe in our constitutional form of government--a government neither to the right nor to the left, but straight down the middle of the road. We pledge our entire effort to prevent these saboteurs from defiling the clear stream of American life. "The brazen effrontery of the educational department of the Communist Party through its memo on the Freedom Train, dated Aug. 29, 1947, cannot remain unchallenged. The purpose of that foreign directed group is to sabotage the great objects of the Freedom Train and to make it appear that the only supporters of the American constitutional form of government are its big business backers. "As Americans and Elks we rededicate our resources to the fulfillment of the noble purposes of this Freedom Train carrying with it throughout America the sacred documents which secured and guaranteed our freedom and American heritage."

'SMITTY' COMES TO GABLES Experience As Office Boy Is Background for Cartoon

When Walter Berndt was about the size of Smitty's little brother, Herby, he was forever bringing down parental ire by chalking the walls with what looked like a cross between Sanskrit and Choctaw. The maternal check to his expression gave him an early understanding of restraint in art, and increased his appreciation of whitespace. After a few years of this home study, Walter had grown big enough and fresh enough to get himself a job as office boy in Wall Street. The experience he got in that popular triple play, boss to steno to office boy, gave him the background on which he has built his now famous comic strip, Smitty, which starts today in the Daily Riviera-Times. Two years later he left Wall Street flat for a career in art. The first step was as office boy in the art department of a New York evening paper. Here he annoyed the artists and editors until some of his efforts muscled their way into the sports pages. Then followed a succession of cartoons and comic strips for New York newspapers, including: "Then the Fun Began," and "That's Different," the adventures of an old fogy tagged Doc Foozle. Smitty Was Successful But Walter Berndt's real success came when he began to draw Smitty for The New York News and Chicago Tribune in 1922. He had gone back for his material to the life he knew best, and liked. Out of it came the world's best known office boy. The creator of Smitty doesn't depend entirely on his memory of the old Wall Street days, but he is constantly supplementing his knowledge of office boys by direct contact with this interesting species. Ever so often, he gathers a bunch of them in his studio, where they crowd around him like freshmen around an old grad on alumni day. Walter listens, observes and learns. These get-togethers enable him to wise himself on the latest methods of pulling the wool over the boss' eyes, the newest ways of getting the steno's goat, the latest wisecracks. These are woven into the bright, brisk comic story of Mr. and Mrs. Smith's son, the eternal office boy--to the approval of several million people.
