A beware of the moose and buff
falov warning has been issued to
drivers on the Alaska Highway.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
has appealed to motorists for ex-
treme caution because heavy snow
has driven the animals to the open
Highway.
The game officials criticized driv-
ers who drive the animals ahead Of
them at a gallop. They said the
exhaustion and overheating in the
subzero cold can cause death.
They told Of an incident last
week in which a moose galioped
onto a bridge ahead Of car. was
panfcked by a car coming from the
opposite direction and was killed
in a leap onto the river ice below.
Take it easy and give the AMI

Ap Newsfeatures Writer

Valentines Day is a lovely ex-
cuse for a party. and there is lots
OF opportunity to toss convention
to the winds and invite that boy
you've been eager TO meet this be-
ing Leap Year and all.
Your invitation can stress that
the queens Of hearts would like TO
meet the kings of the community,
and in that way you can invite the
man Of your dreams and no one
viii be the wiser.
Make the king and queen theme
the motif for your party. If you
have a big old-fashioned chair you
might put a red cloth over it and
make it the t.. one. A queen could
be crowned queen of hearts
as the result + being top scorer
10 rCtz or l1erely by the kings
y0tlng u sec~et ballot.
If you are having a good size
group you might set buffet table
certainly easier on the hostess.
But If you can really spare the
Milford chronicle., 1956-02-03

time and energy, set a pretty tdDle.
IT, does add to the fun Of a party.
Either table can have delight-
ful centerpiece made out Of round
hat box, red and pink shelf paper,
gold paper, lace paper doilies, cell
lophane tape, artificial flowers and
a paper plate.
The hat box must be covered
with the red paper. held in place
with eellOphane tape. A large heart
cut from pink shelf paper or con-
struction paper for the queens
face may be decorated with fea-
lures drawn on with crayons or
paints. Tape a small bunch Of
artificial flowers to one side Of the
face.
Measure the area around the
box and cut a strip Of cardboard
and gold paper to measure. Use
the cardboard to back the gold
strip. Cut gold strip with pointed
edges, taping the crown around
the top Of the box. Decorate the
crown with red hearts and Etpe
half a small lace paper dolly at
every other point in the crown.
You can use this same idea to
make crowns for all the girls.
The boys crowns can be pat
termed after the gold ban on the
queens crowns.
Decorative place mats may be
made with red shelf paper. Cut the
/ paper into rectangles about IA
inches by 10 inches and tape
strips cut from doilies to one side
1 and across the top. The name Of
i each guest might be written across
the center Of the place mat or
down in the corner of it with glue.
Then sprinkle the glue with bright
i decorative dust which can be
bought in many stores.
If you want to make a base for
the centerpiece use a paper plate
as the base. Fold 8-inch dOilies
in half, pleating them at the fold.
Tape the folded doilies around the
edge of the paper plate. Make
4 fluffy bows Of sasheen ribbon and
attach intermittently around the
plate.
Your Queen Of Hearts quiz could
be based on romantic women OF
history Cleopatra, Beatrice, Hell
i en-, Wallis. Make it strictly for
/ queens if you like or include love
stories like Elizabeth Browning's.
Refreshments depend on what
your crowd likes and what you can
anerd. But keep it in the spirit
Of the occasion if possible. Make
your sandwiches heart shaped -
cream cheese and good red Jam
is one idea.

Truth is the message carried by
these operations, reminding 20 mill
lion people behind the Iron Curtain
Of the friendship and interest Of
the American people, giving them
hope and courage confidence that
freedom can once again be theirs.
Mr.. Haskell. who visited Western
and Eastern Germany last year
with other state chairmen Of Cru
sade for Freedom, pointed out that
words of truth are a powerful
force. They combat the Communist
doctrine that has been pushed over
Eastern Europe. They sustain the
spirit OF opposition in people who
are threatened" !"
The campaign to be carried out
in February by Crusade for Free
dom seeks more than anything else
the one dollar contributions of
many thousands of Americans, in
the belief that greater meaning is
given to the message Of freedom if
it is sent in the name of millions
Of people instead of just few.

Tent CateTBIilarS Outbreak
Forecast Fer This Spring
Look for a heavy infestation of
tent caterpillars in certain areas
next Spring.
This sTee pest began building up
to sizeabieS proportions last year
and there is a likelihood that they
will again be abundant in some lO-
calities this year, according to Don
Cantwsll, Area Manager Of the
Bartlett Tree Experb Co. Usually,
tent caterpillars take z years to
build up from a low to a higE peak.
Eastern tent caterpillars spin

day the wriggly black worms inch
out along branches to devOur tend
er new leaves, returning to their
nests at night or when it rains.
They prefer orchard trees. apple,
cherry, peach, plum and pear. but
frequently are found in abundance
in wild cherry, hawthorn and flow
ering crabapple. The tents are most
conspicuous in new housing devel-
opments, near areas grown up with
brush and wild cherries, and along
highways.
There's winter-time adventure,
as we'll as constructive work, in
seeking out and destroying egg
masses Of the tent caterpillars now
The eggs are a mass of tiny cy-
lindical or ringlike forms, glist6n
| ing dark brown in color and no
more than q of an inch long. They
completely encircle twigs Of trees.
Each mass contains from 100 to
$50 eggs.
Boy Scouts and adults can search
out egg masses because they appear
