Jungle Bandits

MANILA, July S (P.-A group
of bandits is tying down several
thousand Filipino troops in a
frustrating jungle war, with no
end in sight.
The outlaws are Moros, Mos
lens and inhabit the southern
Philippines. They are akin to
the Moros whom Spanish and
United States forces fought
around 1900.
The current campaign involves
about 5000 troops, with air and
naval aid. The Moro group
estimated at 200 or $50, carries
rifles captured in World War II
and double-edged sabers.
The government says 22l
outlaws have been killed anc
1875 captured since l948. but re-
placements keep the bandit force
more or less stationary. The
army has lost so soldiers, witt
83 more wounded.
The Moro leader is callet
Kamlon. Over the years he ha
surrendered three times, an,
each time won a pardon o
parole on pledge to give vi

HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING

HOLIDAY ENTERTAINING
For those Of US who live in
apartments. the holidays are
times for entertaining of the in
formal or self -service type rather
than Of q formal nature.
Large party dinners are out
because of space limitations.
But an open-house party offers
the chance to entertain many
friends without overburdening
kitchen or dining facilities. Hav-
ing guests in for a party break
fast. especially on New Years
Day, can be a memorable event.
For q successful open house,
you win need some arrangement
to provide hot dishes as well as
cold snacks. If the party is
small, the hot items-tiny saul
sages. meat balls or .seafood---
can be served from the kitchen.
Large groups can be handled
more easily by setting your din
ing table against a wall so that
maximum floor space will be
left for guests. and serving both
hot and cold items from the
table buffet style.
To give your table the holiday
touch. be sure to serve one very
special dish. This could be your
favorite chatting dish recipe. II
you do not have one, you can
fashion good conversation piece
by following out a hole in the
stem of a large cabbage just big
enough to take a can of canned
heat.
Place the cabbage in a bowl
with the canned heat side up and
have tiny sausages in nearby
bowl. Guests can use toothpicks
to pick up the sausages and heat
them over the flaming" cab
bage.

mas and cookies go together. And
don't think that you have to give
up cookie baking because your
kitchen is small.
Mix the dough for the kinds of
cookies you want the day before.
you plan to bake and store it in
the refrigerator over night. This
makes the dough easier to han
die and gives you a. chance to-
clean UP your kitchen after this
first step.
What is needed on baking day
Is lots Of space for the cookies

by setting up two card tables just
Outside the kitchen door. Then
you can set up a regular cookie

When you take q tray Of
freshly baked cookies from the
oven spread them out on the
tables to cool. Wash the tray
and return 1t to the oven with
more unbaked cookies. While
the second batch bakes. the first

CHRISTMAS DOOR DECOR
There are many things an
apartment dweller can do with
the front door at Christmas time.
One Of these is to make the
door lock like a giant Christ
mas package by covering 1t with
colored paper. crossed with a
wide ribbon and topped OF with
a bow and a holiday welcome.
Since apartment doors are
generally inside. you don't have
to worry about the problems of
weather and. therefore, have a
much wider scope in door decor
than most houSeholders.
Another door decoration can be
made by cutting small tree
shape out of light plywood OF
heavy cardboard. Cover it with
chicken wire and insert pine or
spruce branches to cover the
base material. The tree can then
be decorated and hung on the
outside of the door.
Be sure to secure the orna-
ments with an extra twist Of wire
so that they will not fall OF
when the door is opened or
closed.
