In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Chicago and Los Angeles arc spatting back and forth ever which is America's No.. 2 Big Burg. It started when the Los Angeles chamber of com merce announced that the two-county Los Angeles area now has 55,000 more people than the seven-county Chicago area. It backed up its claim with the statement that 6,450,000 persons now live in the Los Angeles area as compared to only 6,397,000 in Chicago. rpHAT brought from Thomas Coulter, director of the Chicago Association of Com merce and Industry, this crack: "If it's true, they're grow ing only because Chicagoans who made their bundle in the world's most productive mar ket are going out there to RETIRE." He added with a righteous sniff: "I'm not go ing to argue about it. I don't know, and they don't either. We'll have to wait until the 1960 census. But I'm sure we're over six and a half mil lion now." people rather than a whale of a lot more. OH, WELL; when that time comes we can take care of a few of them up here in our State of Jefferson. But not too many. We want no beehives. We want no ant hills. We want no communes. We love the depth of our big woods, with the sunlight fil tering down and lighting up the aisles that lead away among the mighty trunks of the trees. We love the vast sweeps of our high deserts at the hour when the sage is tinged with purple and the horizon moun tains are inky-blue against a crystalline sky. We love our trails where a man can be alone with his saddle horse and his pack mule and yet never FEEL alone. . Here in our State of Jeffer son, we want just enough company but not too much. TTMMMMMMMMM. I think they're both too big. . Ants live in immense ant hills. ' WHO WANTS TO BE AN ANT? CJHUCKS! V . Chicago and L.A. are pik ers. Listen to this: A CCORDING to the Peiping radio FIVE HUNDRED MILLION Chinese are now living in the beehive - like "communes" that have been decreed by China's communist government as the proper way for Chinese to live. What's a commune? One guesses it's something like the pigeon - holes that were placed in the back of old-fashioned roll-top desks, the idea being to provide pace where a fabulous num ber of papers could be tucked away and FORGOTTEN. That seems to be what they're doing with the Chinese they're tucking into communes. I'll risk a small bet. The Chinese who are being tuck ed into these communes are n't going to like it. They'll like it less and less as time passes. I could go a little far ther and offer a prediction that the time will come when both Chicago and Los Angeles will wish they had a few less Ashland Man Named To ASC Committee Donald Nichols, Ashland, was elected chairman of the Jackson County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee at a recent county convention of delegates.

Sim ply roll the little pieces . in powdered sugar or dip them in melted semi-sweet choco late and leave plain or top with an almond or candied cherry. Candied Yams These are done with orange marmalade. Open a can of golden yams; pour off syrup and save. Slice yams cross wise in casserole. Pour enough of syrup in casserole- to fill just below level of sliced yams. Top yams with enough orange marmalade to cover -about one-fourth inch. Squeeze lemon juice from half a lemon evenly over mar malade and salt slightly. Dot with butter. Bake uncovered about half ah hour at 325 degrees. The yarns will absorb most of the syrup and a glaze will form on top. Six servings.. Fruit Cake Decoration. Add ing final decorations to a fruit cake should be done after the cake has been properly aged.

Before the glaze hardens add your decorations of toast ed almonds, walnut halves and glazed fruits.

Maraschino Garnishes Glassed maraschino cher ries come in both ,red and green; can be used to dress up many holiday goodies. Use as decorating or filling for any sweet bread, coffee cake, petit fours or cupcakes; as buttons for gingerbread men.. Arrange three or four well drained maraschino cherry halves on orange or lemon slices as garnish for turkey or a main dish salad. Try Allspice Allspice, whose flavor ' so much resembles a blend of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, is also an ideal flavor aid in cakes, pies, fruit sauces and puddings, relishes. The fruits of the' northwest . . . apples, pears, prunes - all go nicely with allspice. Stew ed pears have more appeal when seasoned with whole allspice, whole cloves, or stick cinnamon. Fruit salads, too, are tastier if sprinkled lightly with all spice, nutmeg or mace. When baking apples try sprinkling with a dash of allspice.
