Frozen Gifts for Christmas

liver HAD a special
IL occasion pop up out of
nowhere and find yourself
without a suitable gift at the
last minute? It can be a
narrowing experience.
Maybe the birthday of a
favorite aunt has slipped. your
mind. Or in the mad scram-
BILE of Christmas shopping,
you've overlooked the wife of
your husbands boss. If you've
ever conducted a frantic
search of the house for even
an unused handkerchief and
ended up with empty hands,
here's an answer:
Have a gift corner in your
food freezer.
Now, before the inevitable
rush starts, make up some
attractive tea rings, rolls, nut
bread loaves, and plum pud-
dings, and tuck them away
in this special corner, Wrap
them for freezing, of course.
If your freezer happens to
have one of the sliding, re-
movable baskets, you can gift
wrap the packages and deco
rate them with ribbons and
bows, all ready for giving. If,
however, you use the general
storage space, it's better to
add the decorative touches as
you remove them; otherwise,
ribbons and bows might be
crushed.
The variety of food gifts is
almost endless. Cookies,
cake, candy and pies are only
few. An especially nice gift
would be a holiday mince pie.
Pies freeze well and can be
stored as long as two to three
months. Whether you bake
the two-cruSt pies before or
after freezing is up to you.
However, the open-faced or
single crust pies are better
when baked after freezing.

lass ScoIded by Pravda
On TardY News Reports
By the ASsoeiotod Press

LONDON, June 27.-The Mos
COW newspaper Pravda is scoldins
the Russian news agency TasS
for being slow in the delivery OF
news. And sometimes, Pravda
said in an editorial broadcast by
Radio Moscow, the contents OF
the TaSs news report isn't SO
good.
Pravda published sharp criti-
cisrn Of Russian newspapers and
magazines, saying that very
many are published irregularly,
and delivered late. Tass is partly
to blame, Pravda said.
"The newspaper editors are
Justly blaming TaSS, through
whose fault the issue Of papers
is frequently delayed" Pravda
said. "The TaSS administration
must improve the content of
press reports, do away with de-
lays and issue information in
good time, on the agreed con-
ditions."
A spokesman Of the Tass
bureau in London would not
comment, saying, This is q
family matter we wouldn't care
to discuss"

ground strata has been devel-
oped is one of the few green
spots in the entire State today.
The wrath Of the drought has
been directed at the area around
Plains. Brownfleld. Tahoka, Sem
mole, Lamesa. Gail and Big
Spring near the point where the
southeast corner of New Mexico
bites into Texas.
In that sector, the powdery
topsoil has turned crop lands
into sand dunes. binding dust
storms have covered highways so
deeply with sand that bulldozers
have been needed to keep the
roads open, trains have been
stopped while sand was shoveled
off the tracks, and wind is howl
ing here and there past the SYM
boil Of the drought's might-the
empty farmhouse.
Heat Compounds Misery.
Intense early summer heat
has added to the misery of the
drought and helped dry up re-
naming surface water. Preside
has seen the thermometer go as
high as 1T degrees and many
points have had 100 degrees plus
virtually every day in June. In
that weather evaporation takes
water out of stock tanks faster
than cattle do. With stock ponds
dry. many ranchers are sinking
new wells for windmills to pro-
vide water for their stock.
The prolonged drought has re-
duced the Rio Grande to a trickle
this summer all the way to
Brownsville and the rich valley
region which depends on the river
for irrigation water. Several
times this summer the Rio
Grande has stopped flowing and
the city of Laredo has had to OBJ
tain it's municipal water by
pumping from puddles left in the
river bed.
The rain gauge at Big Spring
tells the story Of the drought
and the crop failures. The last
month in which normal rain
fall fell was in September Of
1850. During the past three
months only .19 of an inch was
received, compared to the normal
of 3.83 inches for that quarter.
In 1851 only 10.11 inches and
during 1852 only 8.45 inches fell
compared to the annual normal
of 1921 inches. During the first
six months Of this year 2.30
inches has fallen to date COM
pared to the normal Of 6.22
inches.
Worse Than 1930s.
