an ample supply of cranberries for
the Thanksgiving meal, according
to an announcement by Maybeile
LigOn, Sussex County Home DEM
OnstratiOn Agent. Miss Lyon Says
the United States Department Of
Agriculture reports the cranberry
crop this fall TO be the second Iarg-
est on record In addition to the
bumper crop a large supply of pro-
cessed berries-canned sauce and
other products have been carried
over from last years crop. Because
OF these abundant supplies, both
fresh and canned, prices should be
well below last year.
Because of their bright color al d
tart flavor cranberries can be used
in many ways to enliven meals.
Cranberry sauce and jelly go well
with chicken, pork. game and other
meats as well as the traditional tu.-
key. Canned supplies make it pOss-
ible to serve Cranberries the year
round. The fresh berries can I've
used in many different desserts.

HOSPITAL NOTES

In this months Hospital maga-
zine Trustee" is published a letter
from James P. Taylor, Secretary Of

who was a patient in the Mary
Fletcher Hospital, Burlington, Yer
mont. Following is the letter:
THE lOVelieSt, most human places
in city are it's hospitals. If you
have never been a patient in a hos
pital, you have no idea, no idea at
all what magic is wrought through
the saving skill, saving science, saw
ing care, given by doctors and
specialists and nurses.
Miracles are worked in a hOspi-
tai as a matter of course day after
Gay, year after year.
IF you never nave been a patient
in a hospital, then too you never
have even dreamed of the sympathy
and kindness and generosity Ot
lrIends, so especially revealed in
times Of sickness and trouble.

And so you go forth from a hos

OF WORK OF art, with infinite ODllga-
tlOns on our part to those who
found, TO whose who maintain, tt
those who serve our hospitals"
A hospital, any hospital, this hos

prise a total of nine officers and
fifteen enlisted men. After these
people have given the TranspOrta-

given a number and designated a

These two skeleton units, or
