The chances are three to two that
you'll have a balsam fir, and four to
one that you'll have a spruce -

always been an American favorite.
The story goes that the Lord sent

Love-to find tree as high as
Faith. as eternal as Hope, and as
widespread as Love, and which bore
the Sign of the Cross on every

If it is neither fir nor spruce, you
may have some variety of pine or
cedar For almost any evergreen
makes a Christmas tree, and the
species is dictated largely by
where you live. Folks in Colorado
use the lodgepole pine because the
frs grow too high up in the noun

Tennessee uses lot of white cedar.
In California, you may even get
redwood.

To hasten recovery after illness,
many doctors advise drinking
Oyaftine for two reasons:
First, Ovaltine is one of the
richest food sources of vitamins
and minerals in the world. Each
cup, made with milk. provides
valuable amounts of vitamins A,
b.. d, G and Niacin, and min.
erals Calcium, Phosphorus and
Iron. These vitamins and min
erals, so important to speedy
recovery, are often deficient IN
convalescent diets.
Secoxd, Ovaltine supplies basic
food acknowledgements pro-
teins to repair body and nerve
cells-high-energy foods tor
vigorous health. Ovaltine is
specially processed for easy
digestion, so it usually "stays
down" when nothing else seems
to agree.
Oyaltine is served in 100
American hospitals. So if some
one in your family needs building
up, Try giving Ovaltine 2 or ;
times q day.

U. s., Britain Unity
Policy on ExiIed Poles;
Split With Reds Seen

The United States and Great Brit
ain have agreed on policy of con-
tinuing diplomatic relations with the
Polish government-in-ex in Lon
don despite claims of the Polish
Committee of National Liberation
in Lublin to be the provisional gov
ernment' of Poland, it was learned
authoritatively today.
Inasmuch as Moscow is expected
to recognize the Lublin group which
it mas sponsored, split among the
big three" powers on the policy is
apparent.
The Earl of Halifax, the British
Ambassador, called on Secretary of
State Stettinius shortly before noon
today and later told newspapermen
they had discussed Poland and
Greece, among other problems. He
added, that no new ground was
broken" 1t is understood that the
Anglo-American agreement on Po-
lish policy was reached several days
ago.
Secretary Stettinius had declared
yesterday that the United States is
continuing to maintain relations
with the Polish government-in-exil
Lord Halifax said one of the
problems that he discussed with Mr.
Stettinius was that of increasing the
flow of information on current prob
lens between the United States,
Great Britain and Russia.
Asked if the advisory commission
in London might function as clear
ing house for information, the AM
bassador admitted the possibility but
said there were no concrete plans
toward that end.
Asked if he had any late infor-
nation on the projected meeting
of Foreign Secretaries Anthony
Eden, Stettinius and Molotov. the
Ambassador said he was not aware
of any official plans. Mr.. Eden said
hopeful such a meeting could be
held and added that he thought
conferences of this kind would be
useful frequently.
At his press conference today. Mr.
Stettinius was questioned regarding
a New York Times newspaper re-
port from Cairo saying that the
American Government had drafted
plans providing for postwar Aus
tria with vastly enlarged territory,
including the Bolzano area which
was awarded to Italy8 after the
World War.
The Secretary answered that the
State Department had been making
certain territorial studies which
were being revised from time to
time, and that they should not be
considered by any means as final.

race along beside their planes for
miles like will-o'- the -wisps.
Yank pilots have dubbed them

they might explode, but SO far there

Some pilots have expressed belief
that the foo fighter" was designed

it is radio-controlled from the
ground and can keep pace with
planes flying 300 miles per hour.
1t. Donald Meters, Chicago, said
there are three types of foo
fighters red balls of fire that fly
along at wing tip; a vertical row
of three balls of fire which fly in
