mod' in carbuncle is a deep iv.l
ITainet. Though not extensively
us«>l by the (ireeks as a material
for engraved irems, the jtiirnrt was
much used by the Haitians of the
empire. Flat polished slabs of al-
maiidine—or "precious garnet"—
are found inlaid in mosaic work in
Anglo-Saxon and Merovingian
jewelry.
Must garnets are hard, brittle
and glasslike, and generally a ihtrk
red color.
Ranging in size from tiny grains
of sand to large gems, garnets
have been '/ound in every color
except blue. To qualify as gems
worth setting, accoiding to the
jewelry industry council, garnets
must be oi unblemished transpar-
ency and—the red ones, at least—
should have the glow of a smoul-
dering fire.
As are rubles ami sapphires,
garnets sometimes are starred. The
star ef the garnet, however, in-
stead of being (i-rayed like the
othe.r two stones, usually has four
rays. Teniay garnets are mined in
Brazil. Madagascar, India, Africa
and the United States.
A stone once reserved for royal-
ty. the garnet now is widely used!

Meat balls with tomato sauce take on new interest and flavor
when made with cereal flakes and applesauce. This combination
makes a moist meat ball with an unusual flavor.
Busy homemakers will appreciate this recipe because it can be
prepared in the morning ready to be baked at dinner time. Pre-
pare some instant mashed potatoes, frozen green beans, and a
tossed salad and presto! — a filling, satisfying main course for
dinner is ready in short order. For a quick and easy dessert serve
raisin (vitmeal cookies with ice cream, instant pudding, or fruit.
Cookies, pie crusts, confections, muffins, breads, and main dishes
take on new interest and flavor when breakfast cereals are used
as an ingredient. But these are not the only advantages of using
breakfast cereals in rit-ipes. Breakfast cereals make important
nutritional contributions of protein, the 12-compIex vitamins,
minerals, and food energy.

forms of jewelry.
A flower which can be matched
to the color of the garnet is the
carnation. This versatile flower-
of-the-month for January also is
sturdy and long-lasting.
For those who prefer a color
other than garnet, the carnution
comes in white, pink, yellow, lav-
ender and scarlet. There are some
new carnation colors, too, like it d
and white flecked—one of the most
popular these days. Not only are
these lovely flowers being devel-
oped more and more colorwise, but
the scent is more spicy and ap-
pealing.
Since the carnation is the flowei-
of-the-month, you'll find them
plentiful and reasonably priced.
Flower specialists (at the florists'
telegraph delivery association) of-
fer some helpful advice on the
care of carnations. They say that
in modern homes, where the air
usually is dry, carnations will last
longer than other flowers.
Carnations will last one week or j
more if they are cut fresh and j
their cells are full of moistur

Red-American
Exchanges In
Favor Of U.S.
(By ASSOCIATED PRESS)
While it is premature to speak
of an end to Communism, the his
torical record leaves scarcely any
doubt on this score.
Regimented systems have a way
j of crumbling for no apparent cause.
! Something happens at >r near the

It is in this light that we mu.it

OUR NEW YEAR S RESOLUTION
Happy New Year ... in case I didn't pet to wish you
one in person. Here's hoping I9i 8 will be the l>e.st., most
prus|>erous year ever for you and your family.
Lots i f folks like to take the l>eginning of the year
to make some resolutions for the future and I have one
to offer during this first week of ll*r>8. Mr. E. M. Clark, our
president, wrote it to explain the |>olicies and objectives
we try to follow in furnishing your telephone service and
I thought it would make an appropriate New Year's reso-
lution for us to make and dedicate to our customers.
WE DEFINE OUR OBJECTIVES
"(H i; OBJECTIVE is to furnish the best possible
telephone service at reasonable cost—a cost consistent
with financial safety and fair treatment of employees.
"SERVICE ranks aljove everything else in this policy.
And the only good servicc is one that is continually improv-
ing. To furnish this service we need the l>est people, the
t best equipment, the best methods, and the l>est manage-
ment we can develop.
_ "REASONABLE COST has l>een defined as one that
|J'- * produces an ever-growing public demand. Our equipment,
training, and methods would net us nothing if the cost
of service became so high that people would not buy it.
"FINALLY SAFETY should not be endangered by
setting the price of service too low. In the long run. a
price that provides profit large enough to undertake new
research and development results in better cheaper service
to the public.
"FAIR TREATMENT OF EMPLOYEES means good
pay, good working conditions, reasonable job security, and
op|H>rtunity for advancement based on merit. It is people—
employees—who are the most important element in the
success of any business.
We Accept These Responsibilities
TO THE EMPLOYEES: Provide machines, methods,
equipment, direction, leadership, job training, incentives
to progress, selection for promotion.
1*0 THE PUBLIC: More and l>etter service at a
reasonable cost. Contributions to public welfare and
national defense. ... ,
TO THE OWNERS: Run business in a sound, profit-
able manner.
LOOKING AHEAD
"PROGRESS has long Uen the keynote of the tele-
phone business. And. if buiness forecaster* are anywhere
, near correct the next 20 years will bring more growth
and development than we have ever seen before.
"THE FUTURE can l e faced confidently with a policy
of equal consideration for owners, employees, and the
P"'''There you have it. We do our best every day to live
up to this resolution and we hope you feel we're succeeding
in our efforts to give you the l>est in telephone service.

which never have materialized.
Perhaps the greatest impact will
be registered when the Russians

when they begin to grasp our set

, by the Cavalier manner in which

ing respect.
Returning Americans will c.ime

of the Russian people under Com-

! the progress made in industry and
science came in spite of the Com-
munist government, not because of
it.
