can brighten meals in many
ways. Use them boiled, fried,
mashed, candied, or glazed.
Team them with such deli
cately favored meats as pork
and chicken, and with fruits
such as apples, pineapple, and
oranges. Use them as a veg
etable or dessert.
Cook sweet potatoes
quickly and in their jackets
to retain the most food
value. Serve them piping
hot.
To boil sweet potatoes,
scrub them and drop into a
kettle of boiling water -
enough water to cover. Boil
covered, until tender and
drain at once so they won't
get waterlogged. Peel and
season with table fat or meat
drippings, add salt and pepper
to taste.
Many are the variations for
serving cooked sweet pota-
toes. After peeling, mash
them quickly and thoroughly,
add seasonings and fat, and
beat in hot milk a little at a
time until the potatoes are
fluffy and smooth.
Or, instead of milk, use
orange juice, adding a little
grated orange rind, table fat,
and a few raisins.
These Should Hit Spot
Here's a specially attrac-
tive way to serve mashed
sweet potatoes: Shape into
mounds for individual serv-
ings, make a small we'll in the
center, and brown in a hot
oven (425o F.). Fill the well
with cranberry sauce or jelly,
and serve hot.

time to have plenty of

happy addition to Wlnteftlm
Sweet potato supplies are
abundant right now, and
they're on the y. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture's list of
plentiful foods for December.
The crop yield was much bet
ter than expected this year,
with estimated production of
over Sc million bushels rum
ming 81 percent above last
years short crop.
Different types of sweet
potatoes are available to
please individual tastes.
The varieties vary in shape,
and shapes vary within va
riety. Experience will show
which kind is preferred by
your family.
The varieties that cook up
moist and sugary tasting are
the ones commonly called
vans. These are a great
favorite in the South. Skin
colors vary from whitish to
reddish, the flesh colors
range from light greenish-
yellow to reddish-orange.
Homely, But Delicious
The dry types have a some
what mealy or coarse-grained
texture when cooked. This is
the kind usually preferred
here in the North. Recognize
it by the yelloWlsh, taWn-col-
ored skin, the very light yel-
low or orange flesh.
Whatever the variety,
moist or dry, look for tubers
that are smooth, well-shaped
firm, and of bright appear
ance. Best not to mix vari-
eties in one cooking because
of flavor and color differeu-
ces, and lack of uniformity
in cooking.
Despite its homely, har-
dy appearance, remember
that the sweet potato is a
rather delicate vegetable.
Buy in small lots and use
promptly, since they don't
keep well at home for a
long period. They're easily
bruised, so sort and handle
with care.
In addition to flavor ap
peal, sweet potatoes are &
prize package of good fooc
value. Just one medium-sizt
sweet potato contains about
twice the recommended daily
allowance of vitamin A. That
is the vitamin important fol
growth and normal vision
and for keeping the skin ane
organ Innings in good condi
tion so they can resist infec
ton.
Since some vitamin A car
be stored in the body, it's wei
to eat plenty of foods tina
provide it to build up a re
serve supply.

Sweet potatoes also provide
worthwhile amounts of vita

The Need Is Evident

The promptness and enthusiasm with
which the House approved $36-million
new home for part of the Smithsonian
Institution Is understandable to anyone
who has visited the outmoded and over
crowded building that now houses the
famous establishment on the Mall. Orig
inally the institution had asked only for
funds for planning a Museum of History
and Technology. Testimony as to the
disgraceful conditions under which scien-
tif1c exhibits are displayed or stored in
attics, however, led the Public Works
Committee to suggest that money for
actual construction be requested.
The proposed museum is part of
$100-million building program designed
to enable the Smithsonian to carry out
more adequately the avowed purpose of
its founder to promote the diffusion of
scientific knowledge. The institution has
been seriously handicapped in fulfilling
its mission because of cramped quarters,
aggravated by an ever-growing collection
of articles of historic and chronological
interest. The Smithsonian Institution is
a national asset that too long has suf-
fered from fund shortages and other
neglect.

Montgomery School Battle

In tne neat OF controversy 1t is easy
to forget that there are two sides to
the current school-budget debate in
Montgomery County. Both sides have
untnhibited extremists, and this has con-
tributed to situation in which the gen.
eral public Is confronted with more heat
than light. Unfortunately, the dispute
has political implications, too, to confuse
the issues. More facts on school needs in
the county and on how they would be
affected by the budget cuts proposed by
the county manager are essential, if the
County Council is to act intelligently It
is with that thought in mind that The
Star today, elsewhere in this edition, re-
views the Montgomery controversy and
presents data bearing on the conflicting
proposals.
The political angle arises from the
fact that the all-Democratic County
Council was elected last November on an
economy" platform. The promises of re-
duced spending and of easing the tax
burden appealed to many voters, who had
been hard hit by new real estate assess
mentS and spiraling taxes. It was in pur-
suance OF the economy pledge that the
county manager cut deeply into the
School Boards request for approximately
$22 million. He recommended $1-million
reduction in the boards estimated op-
Grating cost of $14 million and a So
million slash in the planned $85-million
construction program. Parent-teacher
and other civic groups have protested the
cuts. A public hearing on the budget will
be held tomorrow night at Rockville
The Stars study of the situation in
the county shows that both the county
manager and the school authorities agree
that the Montgomery school system needs
to be improved. How much should be
spent for improving the system is the
issue. On the school side it is pointed out
that the teachers salary scale is lower
in Montgomery than elsewhere in the
Metropolitan Area ($3,350 minimum as
compared with ninimums of $3,400 in
Prince Georges and Fairfax Counties,
$3,440 in the District and $500 in Airing
tom. The rapidly growing population has
crowded claSsrooms in many parts of the
county. More teachers are required. But
County Manager Reese insists that under
his proposed budget the salary scale
would be improved, 157 new teachers pro-
vided and other urgent necessities met.
There would be no new so-called "frills,"
however
The county manager inserted one item
that should be retained, whatever the
council does with respect to other rec
concentrations. This calls for appropria-
ton of $4,000 for management study
of School Board operations. Such an OBJ
jective study should prove helpful to the
school system, the council and the cit
izens generally in appraising the eff
cheney Of the system. A factual survey
would afford reliable basis for future
budgeting Of Montgomery educational
needs.

Barking. Dogs

It is true that barking dog does not
always bite, and it is equally true that
he seldom means what he barks. One
has become accustomed to the hullabaloo
raised at odd hours by ones own pets.
It has been discovered long ago that
attempts to cut off their exuberance
are as futile as baying at the moon,
although this, too, seems in high fashion
among the neighborhood dogs during the
spring and summer.
An occasional bark and an occasional
bay are not to be criticized. They are
a part of an orderly world at work, and
one has neither the desire nor the energy
to disturb the prevalent order. It is the
vocal exchanges, in which all the dogs
in the neighborhood seem obliged to
take part, that rouse the pique of the
mildest of men. These begin for no
reason at all as one is about to fall asleep.
They develop in signal-drum fashion,
relayed from dog to dog, bounced from
house to house, until the real meaning
of the hue and cry is dinned into the
frustrated sleeper.
The noise is only small part of the
cause of wakefulness. One is disturbed
by what might have caused the uproar.
One knows, If one takes the time to weigh
it calmly, that an owl or a frog might
well be the cause, but awakened from
doze late at night, one does not take
time to weigh things calmly. Has
prowler set off the dogs? Is some fero-
cious beast at large? Has one remem-
bered to lock all the doors and hook the
screens? Is there a weapon at hand,
should 1t be needed?
The disturbing questions are coupled

THIS AND. THAT
BY CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

We never knew exactly
where the COW was, but we
heard her, and 1t was q very
nice sound.
The birds must have liked it,
too.
There, we suspect, is the
key to the riddle.
The birds, too, love natural
sounds, and as these dwindle,
they tend to stay away.
Other factors are the tear
ing down Of woods to make
way for houses. and the in
creased noise.
Today ordinarily good build
ers save as many trees as they
can, but a very large number
must go just the same.
Drying up of a neighbor-
hood, the taking away of the
small streams which the birds
love, also plays its part.
All in all, conditions not en-
tirely to the liking of the birds
tend to come into being.
In the old days we heard the
spring peppers, whose marvel
Gus voices could be heard for
a mile.
Now those voices are all
gone, and with them about
four-fifths of the birds.
It is true that you can still
identify, over a period of sew
eral years, about "a different
species of birds in Chevy Chase.
But the old clamor at dawn
is missing.
Newer residents will think it
very satisfactory still, but they
should have heard it in the old
days.
The weed thrush, for many
years, led all the others.
His clear song rang above
the general song.
And then the robin, with his
optimistic chortle, came to the
fore. and he is the bird most
easily heard at dawn today.
In the old days, it was pos
sible to hear the salute to the
day without moving from ones
bed.
Now, if one wants to hear it
as it was. he must 60 to some
forest place, as early as 4
o'clock, daylight saving time,
which is really 8 o'clock, true
time.
Then he will hear again the
blessing Of the birds upon the
day which is to be theirs.
