It is not too early to bcp*n making your holiday fruit cakes now
for it is best to age the cake properly—at least a month, and six
weeks time is better. 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.

Thornhill said he introduced a
resolution opposing the dam at
a meeting of tH* board June 17.
1956. 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? On
! one side is a great daily paper;
[ on the other’ side some-’ papers
and the statement of the trus
tees. Both can’t be right, though
sometimes men ^of high character
may be at odds and both sides
may have some points worth con
sidering; but, over-all, what is
the truth?

Now ladies, the papers tell us
of an apricot gold gown woven
of 80% aluminum thread; so
what’s next? One great enterprise
will introduce aluminum cloth in
fashion shows, hoping housewives
and others will be moved, at least
"psychologically.” ^

Over 900 of tfie combined strength
