During this period the flavor mellows and moisture in fruits and cake equalize so that it is easy to cut. This recipe makes two cakes, a round one and a loaf. The cakes are rich and delicious with lots of candied fruits, dried fruits, nuts, a bit of canned pineapple and a touch of Sherry wine. Here’s how we like to store this delicious fruit cake. Reir/.ve baking papers from cooled cakes and wrap in cloth moistened .in .California dessert wine. Then, wrap again in waxed p iper or aluminum foil. Place in covered metal container. Occasionally (about once a week), sprinkle several tablespoons of wine over clot's to keep slightly moist. Before wrapping as a gift, glaze and decorate. To glaze, boil com syrup a few seconds and brush on the cake. Decorate with dried fruit and almonds. C.

The resolution was de feated and. he said, subsequently ordered stricken from the report of the meeting In meetings which followed, the board offered the U. S. Army Engineers the alternate - plan which would mean saving the 1.614 acres. That plan includes settng up a system of by-pass canals which, in effect, wopld di vert the Seneca River around Clemson The valley area left would have a captive watershed of some 6.000 acres. Run-off water from this area would have to be pumped out. Engineers have estimated that pumps with a capacity of 666 cubic feet per second would be required to con-^ D-ol run-off water in the area. The Hartwell plan Has been under fire from some Clemson alumni for more than six years. Plans for the big dam are part of the U. S. Engineers’ long- range super plan fomconstruction of 11 hydroelectric power plants on the upper Savannah river. The Clack’s Hill Dam, initial unit in the program, already has been constructed. Hartwell was.' scheduled to be the second unit. Opponents. of Hartwell point cut that it probably; will cost much more than the $1(10 million estimate made by the engineers. They cite Clark's Bill as an ex ample. When that dam was'pro posed (19381 cost was Estimated at $35 million Total cost ex ceeded $78 million^ Original es-. timates for Hartwell amounted to $33,700,WO, but these have been trebled. A power firm engineer said, a steam plant could be built for less than half the cost of the Hartwell ^hydroelectric proposal and would supply electricity at about l\alf the. cost per kilowatt that hydro electric power would cost. —Lj Including the Clemson .land acreage, the- proposed dam would inundate some- 56,500 acres of land along the Seneca and Tuga- loo Rivers. Surveys and clearing work, on the site was begun in 1955 with a $3,000,000 appropriatipn. Re cently timber cutting crews were stopped by an irate woman land owner who held up work for sev eral days with a shotgun. Mrs. A..D Brock^ finally desisted af- tre she was served with a court order. In August President Eisen- ! hower vetoed a flood control-and I river and harbor development bill which would'have included j some $43 million for Hartwfell." ' Well, what is the truth?

Over 900 of tfie combined strength are officers and warrant officers. Young men cd age 17 have the greatest advantage, according to the general, in that they may en. i list in the guard, volunteer for six months active duty training with j the army, and reduce their mili tary obligation by three years.
