Pony Express Service . . •<
j REED SPRING, Mo. UPl — A j
Chamber of Commerce president
has asked the Post Office to inau
gurate a Pony Express service,
and he isn’t fooling.
Darrell Presnell, president of
the Heart of the Table Rock Lake
Chamber of Commerce, sent a
telegram to the Postmaster Gen
eral yesterday.
He said mail is delivered to
householders in boxes along the
highway. But sometimes the homes
are as much as six miles from
the highway and on the other side
of some rugged hill country.
For some, he said, it means a
12-mile round trip to get their
mail, A Pony Express could take
it to their doors, a service he be
lieves the residents are entitled to.

From Popovers to Plenty
In 1929, a bright-eyed, fair-haired wisp of a girl landed in the
United States from Newfoundland, armed with no more thnr>
inbred determination and a scholarship award to study music.
She sought no particular conquest in the strange new world,
Her major problem, aside from loneliness, was lack of money.
Odd jobs, contributed little to her resources in these depres
sion days. Then unexpectedly, imagination, instinct and plain
common sense—combined with a touch of sheer Irish luck—
started tne hardworking teen-'
ager on a career that was to
bring her worldwide acclaim,
wealth, and a great sense of
fulfillment
The girl was Patricia Murphy,
now one of the nation’s out
standing restaurateurs, world
famous for her Candlelight res
taurants in Yonkers, New York
and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida ...
and a horticulturalist of inter
national repute. In her auto
biography, “Glow of Candle
light,” just published by Pren
tice-Hall, she tells of her early
struggles against overwhelm
ing odds, and of that capacity
for plain hard work that was
her real secret of success.
Her life work began when it
small favorite neighborhood
restaurant in Brooklyn went
out of business. Patricia Mur
phy calculated that if she could
serve 100 meals a day and
make a dime profit on each,
she could pay the rent and
keep a fair share for herself.
With $60 she had saved from
earlier jobs m New York, she
set out on this wild scheme to
revive the bankrupt restaurant.
No detail was too small for her
perfectionist soul. Good food
and a candlelit setting were
prerequisites, and a search for
one item on the menu that
I would make people talk led to
j the serving of her first pop
| overs. The Brooklyn enterprise
I prospered beyond all hopes.
And from this first Candlelight
restaurant came ultimately her
missmmmmammmm restaurants in
Westchester,
New York, and
Bahia Mar in
Fort Lauder
dale, Florida,
that now at
tract millions
of diners year
__ly. The pop
Patricia Murphy overs were
parlayed into
a virtual empire, two million
of them being served in the
Westchester restaurant alone
last year!
How Patricia Murphy’s mod
est success grew, how her love
of flowers led her to create
gardens in her restaurants and
homes that became internation
al showpiaees, how her mar
riage to her beloved ‘ Rosie,”'
Captain James E. Kiernan, re
directed her life into happier,
more contented channels,*and
how his tragic death affected
her at the moment of her
greatest successes ,.. make an
absorbing chronicle.
In “Glow of Candlelight,”
she tells the whole story, and
appends a valuable garden sec
tion with full color illustra
tions, and her personal treas
ury of recipes. Especially, she
describes her own fabulous
transformation from a hungry,
struggling Newfoundland girl
to £.•£**?* neatest re
ward lies in helping others.
