Preparedness is your key to success in this era of casual entertaining. To be prepared to serve your friends who come to extend the season’s greetings is as oasy as reaching for your telephone. You may have on hand a supply of fruit cake, assorted cookies and pumpkin or mince pies purchased from your
local baker or grocer.
With proper care, your fruit cake will stay fresh and tempting almost indefinitely. Until a fruit cake has been cut, it can be stored in its original wrapper in a covered container. This wrapper may be discarded after part of the cake has been served. A clean cloth makes a good covering for fruit cake. From time to time, a few drops of brandy or wine poured on the cloth will keep
the cake moist and fresh.
An attractive tea service that requires no timely preparation can be arranged in a jiffy by the wise homemaker who has her larder stocked with ready-baked foods. The little extra niceties are up to the hostess, but a party atmosphere will prevail if cheese pumpkins, salted nuts and maple sugar whip topping are included as accompaniments. The Walnut Maple Sugar Whip Topping adds zest to either mince or pumpkin pie or fruit cake. A holiday tea can be a spur-of-the-moment event if you follow these suggestions. Prepare Walnut-Maple Sugar Whip and Cheese Pumpkins as fol-
lows:
WALNUT-MAPLE SUGAR WHIP; Vz cup crushed maple sugar 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts Vz cup heavy cream, whipped ^old maple # sugar and walnuts into whipped cream. Serve with bakers’ fruit cake and pumpkin I or mince pie. Yield: 1^4 cups Walnut-Mapln ; Sugar Whip. CHEESE PUMPKINS Shape soft yellow cheese into balls about 1" in size. Ridge each cheese ball with fork t©- resemble a pumpkin. Insert a clove or piece of green citron in the top of each cheese ball to resemble the stem.

I A timely reminder for school children to “Watch for Turning Movements” is carried in traffic safety posters being distributed by the Chicago Motor Club for December display in 44,000 elementary school classrooms throughout its Illinois and Indiana territory. Lesson sheets elaborate the increased winter hazards for small pedestrians when motorists are having trouble with skids and limited vision. The poster is one of the series of winners in a national poster contest for high school students conducted annually by the Chicago Motor Club and affiliated organizations in the American Automobile Association. 1 — REPORT OF CONDITION OF Muncie Banking Company of Muncie, in the State of Indiana, at the close of business on December 31, 19491

One of Two Sedans in 1950 Chevrolet Line
The Styleline, one of two individually designed sedans which have achieved immense popularity with Chevrolet owners, will have new beauty in 1950. Improved grille work, sturdier bumper guards and more tasteful orna-
mentation are some of the exterior Improvements. New Chevrolets also offer increased power and comfort with the Powerglide automatic transmission as optional equipment on De Luxe models.

JOHN WfSlEr HYATT
DR. LEO H. BAEKELAND
Elephants were getting scarce in Africa about the time of our Civil War. They were slaughtered for their ivory tusks. An award of $10,000 was offered for a suitable substitute to replace ivory for billiard balls. John Wesley Hyatt, 24-year-old Albany printer, wanted that award and his profit from a patent. He set up a laboratory back of his house and spent all his spare time piddling with explosive chemicals. He came up with celluloid. That was the beginning of the enormous plastics industry of today. A half-century later Dr. Leo H. Baekeland invented bakelite. Plastic materials now surround us. Picture at right shows plastic telephone, table top and lamp, tree ornaments, book cover, chair covering, pen and shoe soles. The little cowboy has a plastic hatband, toys and belt.
