Couple Spends Year Making Fruit Cakes Salisbury, Vt. (U.R) It's Christmas the year 'round at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Lane. The couple spend much of the year making fruit cake which they store for sale until Chirst mas time. When they started their small business in 1953 they made 100- pounds of cake; this year they expect to make over a ton. Mrs. Lane's recipe is based on one used by her grandmother and, of course, the older the cakes, the better. Each cake is wrapped, packaged, boxed and neatly gift wrapped. Both join in baking the cakes which requires about two hours. Ingredients include butter, brown sugar, nuts, raisins, cur rants, "citron, cinnamon, mace and. nutmeg, bits of wine and whiskey. After basting twice in pplejack brandy, the cakes are wrapped in aluminum foil and tr he saw a town ablaze with Christmas cheer. Lincoln Square is a mass of colored lights and yuletide deco rations and most of the streets are banded by electrical displays appropriate to the season. But chances are that the Pres ident and his distinguished guest will stick to the farm and talk about world problems instead of looking at Christmas decora tions. High point on the Eisenhower Nehru agenda for yesterday was an inspection of the growing here? of Aberdeen Angus cattle being raised on the Eisenhower farm by the President and some of his friends. Nehru, too, is much interested in animals but his tastes are somewhat different from those of the President. Nehru has a tiger for a pet, but Mr. Eisen hower prefers cattle, sheep and hogs.

The commmittee on 'class size and teacher load also recom mended that total teacher load be confined to 100 students. The group said they found in a two year study that English teachers cannot do an adequate job for the average student when the teacher load and class totals exceed those figures. The committee said in a report published by Colgate university, that special provisions must be made for the least talented stu dents and also for exceptional students. It suggested teachers be given adequate time for eval uation of papers and conference with students, and for teacher responsibilities in school other than teaching.
