Fish chowder is both stew and
a soup, depending upon whether
you want to serve it as a main or
soup course. As a soup course 1t
should be thin and served in cups
or small soup dishes with no invi-
tations for seconds offered. But as
a rule most persons like fish chow

Any lean fish may be used, but
cod or haddOck are particularly
we'll chosen for a chowder. The
Fishery Council suggests that fish
weighing about four pounds be
ordered skinned but with the head
and tail left on so that every part
of it may be used, and recommends
this method:

-"Aunty."
1t is as correct for a woman OF
sixty TO use tinted nail polish as it
is for a girl of twenty. providing
she chooses a pale shell-pink shade
or one OF the soft dull rust or red
shades that look well with any cos
tune color. OF course you shouldn't
wear a bright pink polish with a
rust colored dress, or ruSt-colored
polish with a rose or lavender
dress. Learn to take care of your
own nails, too. for your cuticles
need lots of oil and gentle coaxing
to keep them neat and smooth. Go
to a beauty salon and have the
manicurist apply the polish for you
if your own hand is not steady
enough to do perfect job.
It's good idea for the older
women TO have a professional ia
cial every month or so If possible.
OF course. you can give yourself

AM RIGA HITS JE W
 MASSACRE

WASHINGTON, Dec. IT, - The United States has joined with other United Nations in condemning Ger manys "bestial policy of cold blooded extermination" of Jews and in pledging that those responsible shall not escape retribution."
 In announcing the move, the State Department said that reports from Europe indicate German authorities now are carrying into effect Hitler's often-repeated intention to exterm- mate the Jewish people in Europe.
 The announcement described Po- lond as the principal "Nazi slaughter house" where ghettos have been es- tablished by the Germans and are now being systematically emptied of all Jews except few skilled work CTS.
 The State Department said none of those taken away are ever heard from again. The able-bodied are slowly worked to death in labor camps and the infirm are left to die from explosure, starvation, or are deliberately massacred in mass executions.
 "rrhe number of victims of these bloody campaigns are reckoned in the many hundreds of thousands of entirely innocenet men, women and children" the statement concluded

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-United States Navy dive-b -bombers, striking at Japanese ships and installations at Munda on New Georgia Island in the Solomons, hit and damaged one destroyer or cruiser while Fly ing Fortresses of the United States Army Air Force engaged and shot down 12 enemy Zero fighters, the Navy announced today.
 The sharp-eyed gun crews of the huge American bombers turned their 50-calibers on the i2 Jap planes-the entire squadron-and sent every one down in flames in a short engagement. This action also occurred near New Georgia Island.
 One of the Flying Fortresses was lost, but the crew was saved, the Navy reported.
 One Navy dive-bomber failed to return from the raid on Munda where the Japs are seeking to es- tablish new base.

 This type of vessel is neither big or fast enough to do much of a job in supplying land bases.
 The fighters went in first, sil- encing the land anti-aircraft bat teries and also quieting at least two guns fore and aft on the ship. Some of the fighter pilots also attempted to hit the ships steam lines.
 The fighters fire was so effec- tive that no fire bothered the fol- lowing bombers Piloting the fight ing planes were Capt. Arthur B. Hustead of Los Angeles; Lieut.. Harley s. Tawlks of Everett, Wash; Lieut.. John w. Livesay of Fort Worth, Texas; Lieut.. Floyd c. Soule of Freesoil, Mich.

 United States Air Force and Navy activities have prevented any sup plies from reaching Kiska in any quantity since September 1. The last ship was sighted there on October g. No new planes have reached the occupied island since midsummer, although at least two attempts--one by air and one by surface ships--have been made re- gently to give aerial reinforcement.
 Both attempts failed, one when Jap ships carrying crated planes were attacked and destroyed by low-level bombers, the other when bombers and fighters jumped on some beached planes toward Attu

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert S. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON Tt takes only a pencil, a paper and little arith- metic to ascertain what no longer can be a military secret, namely that airplane carriers probably have almost vanished from the face of the Pacific Ocean.
 Our announced losses, subtracted from the total number of carriers We had when war began, leaves us with a slim margin. Also, we know by our announcements of Jap losses that they are in the same boat
 The last naval battle north of the Solomons had all the earmarks of being fought without any car- riers on either side.
 If this is true, it brings out some highly important factors regarding future warfare in the Pacific. It means first, that we have to de- pend on islands to serve as sta- tionary airplane carriers. Second, 1t may mean that we will n t build airplane carriers in the fu- ture. This latter point is debatable. But there is no debating the im- portance of Pacific islands as air bases.
 Today, the chief importance of the Solomon Islands is its airfield. That also is the chief importance of New Guinea
 But most of the island airplane carriers of the Pacific are in the hands of the enemy. Thousands of islands dot the Pacific between Ha- waii and Japan, all in Jap hands. Enough airfields have been devel- oped on them to make it almost impossible for fleet to approach the main Japanese islands without suffering terrific damage from swarms of deadly land-based planes.
 A few years ago, newspapermen covering the State Department used gag to enable them to write news story on Christmas and Easter. They queried tn e State Department regarding con- flicting American British claims to Christmas Island and Easter Is- land, and always got. the bored response from the State Depart ment that the United States didn't consider them worth claiming
 Today, however, the United States would give it's eye-teeth for more

Troops af lonely 0uiposis To Westward fo HaveTrees,
 Celebrations on Christmas
By WILLIAM l.. WORDEN Associated Press War Correspondent

NhooOtaRttA ' ANoS Ss0A SVAAtSPoA0tfhs
 AN ARMY BASE IN THE AN DREANOF ISLANDS, Dec. l2.-- Delayed) Christmas cheer is now assured for this snow covered, wind blown island where Americans from Georgia, Alabama, California. even Brooklyn and other homelike places, will be spending the holidays this year.
 Assurance of the cheer came today when a supply of Christmas trees was distributed to various army units as supplement to the turkeys which Mess Sergeants are carefully saving for Christmas Day, Decem- Der 25.
 The supply of trees is not what you would call ample, in fact just 20 for all the thousands of troops which moved here within the last few months, but the Post Chaplain, Capt. John L. Dodge, formerly of Nashville, Tenn. said: Even one tree would have been the difference between a holiday and just another day in this treeless country.
 Capt. Dodge said he hopes to re- ceive a few tree decorations but if he doesn't, will use colored paper from Army supplies and will depend on snow for decorations.
 Real Party
 At least one large Army unit will have some kind of a Christmas par ty through the efforts of two chap lains, Capt. Charles w. Hughes, formerly Canon of St. Paul's Cathe- dral in Detroit, and Lieut.. Paul F. Haren. formerly of Cleveland, Ohio.
 Capt. Hughes made room in his personal baggage, on the move to the front, for Santa Claus suit. He and Haren also plan unit-wide party at which each man will take some gift even if only an old jack knife and each man will get some- thing from under the unit tree.
 Old Stuff to Many
 Christmas in an Army camp is no novelty for some troopers stationed here although others, who are re- cruits, have never spent holiday away from home before. However, veteran in the language of the Alaska Defense Forces means a vet eran of at least two years in for eign service. Several units on the islands here have been in the Ter ritory since l940, antedating all other foreign service except Ha- waii.
 Holiday calculations on this front line of islands will be limited to small gatherings, both because of the possibility of attack and because of the lack of facilities for large celebrations. Of course lighted trees will be out of the question in 8 territory where trucks move with out lights through thirteen hours of darkness nightly.
