Healthful Sweets

Holiday sweets chosen with wisdom
can actually contribute to the chill
dren's health and well-being instead
Of causing the digestive upsets that
often mar the Christmas season, DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of Health, said
recently in calling attention to adj
vice offered by the Nutritionists of
the State Department of Health. He
stressed the fact that delicious holt
day foods can supply many of the
minerals, proteins and vitamins
needed for children's growth and
physical development.
The Nutritionists suggest that
homemakers stock their candy and
cooky jars with sweets that include
nuts, peanut butter, molasses, brown
sugar and dried fruits. These ingredi-
ents improve the nutritional value of
candies and cookies, for they con-
tribute many of the food essentials
needed by boys and girls-and older
people too
Many delicious holiday sweets
combine such nutritious Ingredients
Molasses cookies chock full of raisins
and walnuts or peanuts are a temp
tation to the whole family. Old
fashioned homemade candies remain
favortes with today's children, and
many of their elders. They may in
clude such items as dates stuffed
with nuts or peanut butter or ground
dried fruits moistened with fruit
juice, nodded into balls and rolled in
ground nuts or fresh cocoanut Pre-
pared breakfast cereals bined
with chopped nuts, moistened with
molasses and nodded into balls or cut
into squares are also generally liked.
Fruit punch consisting of almost
any desired combination of citrus and
other juices is a welcome and nu-
tritious addition to party menus.
Cranberry juice can add festive color
as well as flavor. Another good drink
for children is eggnog made of milk,
eggs and vanilla or almond flavoring
with a dash of nutmeg on top.
1t is not necessary for most chill
dren, or adults, to eliminate entirely
the sweets that consist largely of
concentrated sugar, starches and fats;
but the availability of the other types
will at least provide competition and
reduce their total consumption. If
between meal snacks and holiday
parties seem to be providing too many
rich and concentrated sweets it may
be wise to help balance the diet by
letting desserts served with meals
consist of fresh fruit, fruit cups,
fruited gelatin, simple custards or
plain ice cream.

Free State Forestry

About 100000 Red pine seedlings
have been set aside for sale in Gar
rett and Allegany Counties by the De
partment of Forests and Parks, ac-
cording to an announcement by Will
liam A. Parr, District Forester.
Prices for the seedlings will run as
low as $500 per thousand.
Red pine is fast growing tree
valuable for such varied products as
Christmas trees, pulpwood and saw
timber. Lumber sawed from this
species is of excellent quality, being
almost Identical with White pine lum-
Der.
The most suitable time for tree
planting is in the early spring, as
soon as possible after the ground has
thawed. A spacing of about eight feet
between the trees and rows is recon-
mended for Red pine. This spacing
requires $50 seedlings per acre. An
ordinary mattock makes a very salts
factory planting tool. If planting con-
ditions are good, one man can plant
from one half to one acre in a day.
Old fields and pastures no longer used
for agriculture, and not too overgrOwn
with brush, make excellent planting
sites.
Anyone interested in making a
planting may obtain application forms
and additional information from the

By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman met with his
cabinet for more than two hours

that are to be laid before the

The State-of the Union mes
sage will be the first to go TO

delivered in person by the Presi-
dent a day or two after Congress
reconvenes January 8. The order
in which budget and economic

THE state of the union is very
good-we wish you all a merry

Service Civilian Cuts
Ahead Of Schedule,
johnson Reveals

The armed services are drop
ping civilian workers at a faster
rate than originally contemplated
as they carry out Defense Secre-
tary Johnson's economy program.
This was disclosed here last
night while Mr.. johnson was
telling a New York audience that
the Nations military security
should get priority over economic
considerations but that spending
either too much or too little for
military purposes could be dis
astrous.
AS Mr.. johnson spoke before the
annual meeting Of the New York
Lawyers Association at the Wal
dorf- Astoria Hotel, IS pickets
paraded in protest against what
they termed Jim Grow" practices
in the armed services.
Army Exceeds Goal.
The Army has laid off $4,000
more civilian workers than
planned under the original econ
omy program, which called for
dropping 1856, 900 workers from all
the services, the Defense Depart
ment said.
On December 1 the Army had
dropped $1,000 instead of 41,oo0
workers. The Air Force had laid
of 1880 Of the $4,000 cutback
assigned to 1t. The Navy and
Marine Corps layoff totaled 65.-
900 as against q goal Of 10000.
The department said the Navy
had until next June 80 to reach
its goal, but that it was expected
the other 10.4o0 reductions will
have been completed by January /.

savings in payrolls would be about

night that to build up our mill

be disastrous to wreck our econ

man said. These changes are
under consideration here. They
were designed to meet our objec-

in Washington"
Mr.. Acheson said that discus
sion on the arms agreements with
other pact members-Italy, Nor
way, Denmark, France, Belgium,
the Netherlands and Luxem bourg
have advanced to the point
where they are concerned only
with details of phrasing.
There was no official estimate as
to when the allow of American
weapons to Europe actually will
begin. But there is still consider
able hope here that the first arms
shipments can go forward some
time next month.
Agreements Required.
The arms program, authorized
by Congress more than two months
ago, specified that no weapons
could be sent until each country
had signed the agreements cover
ing their use. 1t also required
that before President Truman au-
thorizes the release of more than
the first s100,OOo,oOo of the total
fund all the countries must have
agreed on an overall plan for de-
tense of the North Atlantic area.
This master plan already has
