People whose daily diet is strychnine retch at Cindy Lou's syrup. Her magnolia-bud ways with men make women who get their guys through manhole methods rage. Swiftly the whole house-party gangs up on her. Then Cindy Lou hits the roof, butts a fat columnist (John Alexander) in the belly, gives the crowd a 100-stripe tongue-lashing, spoils everybody's fun, cooks everybody's goose, flashes a revolver, and winds up with as much loot in Connecticut as Sherman's men got out of Georgia...
...flea in its ear or a bulldog at its throat. Some 29,000,000 Americans, it is estimated, are now affiliated with organizations which sponsor lectures, leaflets and confidential reports appraising if not attacking the advertised claims of every kind of branded product from mouthwash to maple syrup. Most of these are counted in such big, general groups as the Federal Council of Churches (24,000,000), General Federation of Women's Clubs (2,000,000), Parent- Teacher Association (2,000,000), but many admen would also add the U. S. Government and the nation's schools...
...soothing syrup to spoon out to the Government's air rearmament critics this week, the Air Secretary received assurance last week from Motor Magnate Lord Nuffield-who ended his two-year nonparticipation in air rearmament when Lord Swinton was dropped as Air Secretary month ago-that he will erect a huge airframe plant on the outskirts of Birmingham, designed for mass production of 5,000 planes a year.

After being soaked in brine and cooked in syrup, however, it has a sugary quality much like other candied fruit. Some 5,000,000 lb. of citron are used annually in U. S. fruitcakes, candies and pastries, yet the fruit has never been produced in quantities in the U. S.; most of it comes from Sicily, Italy, the West Indies...
...fire, chatting with a Georgia chain gang that dug a path for their busses through a landslide. Most fun, however, was a two-taste of farm life in Georgia's Habersham County. After a hearty breakfast of grits, bacon & eggs and biscuits covered with ham gravy and corn syrup, the boys and girls went forth into the fields to string barbed wire fences, lime the ground, scrape roads, chop trees, split logs, ride mules, barbecue a pair of pigs, drive a tractor (until Student Katy Sprackling broke it). They astonished a Georgia farm family by rebuilding its shack, whitewashing...
