A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This Saturday. December %.
marks the 194Sth annual celebration
of the Feast of the Nativity, the
birth of Our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ more intimately
known as "CHRISTMAS".
Christmas of 1913, more than
three years after the end of the
most destructive and devastating
war of all times. finds the world
still i'm a most regrettabIe situation
in 50 far as the prevention of future
wars are concerned. The war has
been won by the Allied Powers of
the world. but the peace Is far from
being won. Actually. the peace
comes dangerously near t0 being
lost. All because of the unwilling
ness of mankind to be governed by
the Golden Rule. Until the day
comes when all men regardless of
race. color or creed, will do unto
others as they would that others
should do unto them until that
day comes, regret 60 predict that
this old world viii never be com.
pletely free from war.
As we go about celebrating this
Christmas-time, LET US all hope that
by the time that another Christmas
rolls around the status 81 the world
win become one i'm which peace and
happiness viii be the dominant fac.
tors In the desires Of all nations. Let
NV hope that the peace, which Is
now close TO being lost. viii be won
for all nations and all peoples. A
Merry Christmas 10 all.

Food Tips
That extra grapefruit half stays

Do the same for oranges, lemons OF
lines. 1t saves vitamins by protect
ing the cut surface from the air
Plan to use the fruit soon, however
in a salad, fruit cup, or in some other
way.
If piece of cheese grows hard be-
fore you get around to using it, CRATE
and store in a jelly glass with holes
punched in the lid. 1t keeps well and
is delicious sprinkled over vegetable
salads or spaghetti dishes.
A fish casserole is an excellent al
ternate for meat. Two Of its major
ingredients-tuna fish and milk-are
sources of good quality protein.
Spinach is good vegetable to serve
with this dish because it is high in
iron-a mineral in which tuna fish
and milk are low.
If you eat out, remember that res
taurants have been asked to CO.

Winter Wushing

Winter Wdshing
For easier and more efficient
washdays in winter. here are few
reminders to housewives:
Washing machines kept in cold
place, such as an outside porch
should be brought into warm room
several hours before using. Other
wise. the oil or grease in the machine
NAV be so stiff that the starting load
will be heavy enough to blow fuse
in the circuit. Porcelain enamel tubs
also need to have the chill off before
using. If hot water is poured into a
very cold tub, the enamel may crack.
Clothes that freeze stiff on lines
suffer more wear and tear from
whipping in the wind than soft clio
thes. Therefore, on very cold windy
DAYS it may be better to dry clothes
indoors
If lines are rubbed with vinegar
before hanging up clothes, the fab
rio is likely to freeze to lines and
stick. However, if the clothes &c
stick, pull them very gently from
lines to prevent tearing. Clothes pins
warmed in, the oven few minutes

Woshinq Leather Cloves

Woshing Leather Gloves
Be sure leather gloves are labelled
washable" before trying to wash
them at home. Many gloves of suede
doeskin, capeskin, and pigskin, are
finished so that they can be washed
and are labelled accordingly on the
inside. Kid gloves and some other
kinds of leather, however, must be
dry cleaned.
Use mild soapsuds and lukewarm
water when washing leather gloves.
An easy way to do it is to put the
gloves on and wash them like the
hands, lathering the entire surface
and using a soft brush on finger tips
and other specially soiled places.
Pull gloves off the hands carefully
because leather is weak when wet
Rinse by running luke warm water
into each glove to push it gently into
shape. Never wiring or scrub gloves
because this stretches and may tear
the wet leather. To keep pigskin
gloves soft, rinse in water to which a
couple of drops of glycerine have
been added.
Fold the wet gloves in turkish
towel and gently press to remove ex-
cess moisture. Then lay the gloves
flat on a dry towel or hang over a
towel on a line. Do not use clothes
pins because they mark the leather.
When gloves are almost dry, gent

Dry slowly at room temperature.

Bender Renews Demand
For Action on Theater

Representative Bender, Republic
can of Ohio, yesterday renewed his
demand for answers from Govern
nent officials as to why the Belasco
Theater building could not be leased
for nonsegregation theater opera
ton.
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming.
Federal Works Agency head, and
w. E. Reynolds, Buildings Commis-
sioner, said that because of the
space shortage in Washington, they
could not see how they could rent
the theater for as much as they
would have to pay for Government
quarters elsewhere.
The theater building now is being
used by the Treasury Department.
Gen.. Fleming told reporters he
was sympathetic with the Bender
idea, but mentioned that the Gov
ernment could not select its bid
ders for use of Government-owned
property. Therefore, 1t could not
be sure that the Bender objective
could be accomplished.
Mr.. Bender, in his letter to Mr..
Reynolds, quoted from President
Truman's "Civil Rights" message to
Congress. He said in that twas a
national scandal" that Washing
ton has no legitimate theater which
Negroes may attend.
