ALEXANDER GEORGE What's in a plan? A lot, if it’s a Christmas din- ner assignment facing you and you're short of ideas, short of time or just plainly indifferent. Here are three custom-made dinners for holiday use. Whether your budget is fat or slim, your family big or small, the prepara- tion time long or short, you can adapt one of these to your needs.

One also could congeal vegetables and bect balls in lemon gelatin, cut in bell shapes and serve on lettuce. Cornbread, boiled rice and ap- ple savory are other stuffing ideas. If the cupboard boasts any spiced peaches or pears or mustard pickles, trot them out.

Kirchik, Judge, City Court of Mi- ami. Judge Kirchik is a devoted and loyal citizen and is well known for his fair and just de- cisions which he has handed down. “Judge Kirchik has always tak- en an active interest in the civic affairs of our city and the State of Florida. He is well known not jonly in Miami but throughout the Great State of Florida as well. He is perhaps best known fer the knowledge he has gained through actual experience. “In the office of City Judge the Honorable Jack Kirchik has dis- tinguished himself as an arbiter of justice, tempered with human interpretation of the law that af- fords full protection to the prop- erty and civil rights of the citi- zens and at the same time he metes out full justice to the un- fortunate brought before him. “Judge Kirchik is one of the ¢|™most understanding men ever to ‘hold this important office. He is regarded as one of the most high- ly esteemed citizens and his serv- ices to the people of our city and state are praised by all who know him”. THE LOWDOWN — FROM HICKORY GROVE Down at Tolono on_ the Wabash, they used to, claim that it took 2 men to see the Cannon Ball Express go through. One duck would say, “here she comes,” and the other gent would say, “there she goes.” And I am think- ing about the old Wabash story on account of the election we are just getting over. There hasn't been enough watchers. Things have been whizzing by that we could hardly see The air has been full of demo- crats and projects—and too few people with pump-guns. But with the counting about complete and we come up almost even-steven on republicans vs. democrats, we are gonna get a lit- tle better glimpse of what is go- ing on. But if it takes 2 republi- cans to watch one democrat, like on the Wabash, we are not yet out of the woods. But we are making progress. Yours with the low down, JO SERRA. ~ PEOPLE’S FORUM.

This cannot be, as there are those unfortunates who will wait and wonder where is that joyous spirit, secured by knowing that there are others who are sharing in the bounty of the day. Those of us whs have * jobs, the security of a home, and . loved ones, would far more enjoy this day of Christ if they were only sharing even a mite with their unfortunate fellow men.

Whitted, as Com- know nothing of the feasting of jChristmas day because their homes have been bombed from ‘over their very heads as they slept, or watched the bombers drop their cargoes of death ani destruction on the heads of inno- cent omen and children, on hospitals and churches. Give thanks to God on this day that we are yet at peace and that we are determined to defend with our very lives the Christian doctrines which we this day cele- brate. Peace on earth and good will toward all men, may God speed the dav that once more this message will be the universal language of the world. Go not to church and pray leaving with a feeling of security that your duty is done. It is into the homes of the needy where hope is no more that you must go either by sending a bit of food ,or some toy to that child who has jlooked so wistfully into the eyes jof a shop window. In Washington there has been established a unit where the in- dividual scans a list of various gifts he may select, to be sent to helpless women and children in ting at the time. Miss Post sees her job as un- glamorous, but interesting—a “slight contribution”, she hopes, to a visual appreciation of how and a black-and-white record of what her department has done to help some of them to a better way of life. Studied Abroad A New Jersey girl, Marion Post studied (at New York Uni- versity and for three years at the University o fVienna) child psy- chology and education. A pho- tographer friend in Vienna gave her a camera and started her off on a tangent. She taught for a while after that at Croton-on-the- Hudson, but teaching finally got smothered in photography and she took a job for a year on the Philadelphia Bulletin. She might have been there yet if they had assigned her to more murders, fires, court trials and tenement tales, and fewer society and fash- ion affairs. But if they had, the department of agriculture would have been out of one of its ace camera-snappers and Kentucky would never have had a chance mittee of the Estate of Blanche Lowe Whitted, non compos men- tis, intends to apply to the Honor- able Arthur Gomez. one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of the q Millions of farm people must live Fieventh Judicial Circuit of Flor- ida, in and for Monroe County, at his office situated in the Monroe County Court House, in the City of Key West, Monroe County, State of Florida, for authority to sell certain real estate to the said Blanche Lowe Whitted, non com- pos mentis, situate, lying and be- ing in the County of Monroe, State of Florida, to-wit: On the Island of Stock Is- land and being all of Block Twenty-nine (29), according to Geo.

Why got direct a gift to some needy little boy or girl and send your friend the post card? You do not have to go out of your community to do this. From all indications this will be a white Christmas, but I far prefer the warm and sunny clime of Key West to the snow and slush we have here. Washington averages only two and one-half days of sunshine per week each year. Make this a Christmas that you wlil never forget. Put the real spirit there and you will experi- ence a jov that you have never known before. As to those who have mothers and fathers, they do not need gifts of money and pres- ents as much as they need your love. Let them know that even though the years have turned their hair to driven snow that in your heart there still glows the spirit of eternal love. If you can, go to that mother and father and be with them on that day. Yours is the opportunity, yours is the task. Make Christmas Day count for the only spark that remains alive today: that love is still in your heart for others. ALBERT G. ROBERTS. 736 22nd St., N.W., Washington, D. C., Dec. 15. 1940.
