Begin these preparations now—for the ingredients of Xmas cakes, pud dings and cookies take on a charm — and flavor—w ith age. Preparations can be a snap if you budget a day fo r cutting up fr u it and nuts, an other day fo r m ixing and baking, and a th ird day fo r packing. F ru it Cake.

Bake in 4 (8 by 8 by 2 inches) pans, lined w ith greased paper, in slow oven (250 degrees) 3 to 314 hours. Plum pudding gets m y vote as being highly desirable for the fam ily feast at Christm as. Plum Pudding. (Makes 3 1-quart molds) 2 cups prunes, cooked 114 cups currants 1 cup raisins 114 cups citron, chopped s4 cup preserved orange peel 1 cup candied cherries, chopped Lynn Says: I » L e t’ s Decorate! The fr u it cakes and puddings, of course! A clus te r of candied cherries in the m id dle w ith leaves fashioned of a rti ficia l rose leaves makes an at tra ctive cake. You’ll be praised fo r a rose garnish made of gelatin candies shaped like lemon and orange segments into thin, lengthwise slices. Roll a slice tig h tly to form center of rose and press other slices around it to make petals. Sim pler decorations can be made of almonds or other nut- meats form ing flowers w ith can died peel as petals or centers. To store cake, place it in a ir tig h t container for several weeks. Sound apples may be placed in container, and changed as they become shriveled, to provide moisture.

(Makes 1*4 cups) 1 tablespoon cornstarch ’ 4 cup sugar <4 teaspoon salt Though the landings on North A f rica were a ca refully guarded m ili ta ry secret between high B ritish and Am erican officials, one other coun tr y let in on the secret was Brazil. In fact, B razil, through Foreign M inister Oswaldo Aranha did some im portant spade w ork for the United States in regard to vita l A tla n tic islands, the Azores and Madeiras. These lie along the route of the Am erican supply line to N orth A f rica, the M adeiras jclose to the A f rican coast. Therefore, it was considered pos sible that the Germans m ight at tem pt to use these islands as sub m arine or even a ir bases, or th a t the United States in turn m ight need the islands for emergency bases. Both island groups are Portu guese. So, long ago. Brazil, which looks to Portugal as its m other coun try , made in form al diplom atic soundings to make sure that these islands would line up w ith the United Nations in case of emergency. • • • SOLOMONS vs. AFRICA One thing that got under the skin of high U. S. arm y officials during the weeks ju st before the N orth A f rican landings was the navy's policy regarding the b a ilie of the Solomon Islands. Though all the details had not been worked out, it had been def in ite ly agreed w ith C hurchill and the Russians to s ta rt some kind of second fro n t operation this sum m er. However, the navy also claim ed that It could s ta rt the Solomon Islands campaign simultaneously w ithout taking any ships out of the A tla n tic or disturbing the Second F ront prep arations. The adm irals promised the w ar departm ent that the num ber of ships used in the Solomons would be very sm all indeed. But before the Solomons opera tions had lasted m any weeks, the navy had used several tim es as m any ships as it expected—some of them sent to the bottom of the Pacific. Ships were taken off the supply lines to Russia, despite def inite promises made to Russia. Ships were also taken off the supply lines to England to such an extent that supplies to England dwindled to a driblet. * • • • A youth came Io a farm er to borrow a lantern.

But this is no or dinary winter— it is a war winter when Americans must con serve every car and truck and tire until after victory is won. So there is a new appreciation of Weed Tire Chains which pre vent skid accidents and help get through snow without delays. Examine your Weeds— if there are broken links have them replaced. Take chains off when no longer needed, and clean them after using; it pays. I f your used chains are worn out get new Weed American Bar-Reinforced — for double mileage.
