your friends a Merry Christmas

them gifts from your kitchen

quick bread instead at cookies
or candv.
The price of sugar will
certainly have an effect on our
holiday baking. Many of us will,
be baking less and it will
require some real thought and
planning to provide the festive
seasonal goodies within the
budget this year.
But little is more appreciated
than homemade baking because

thoughtfulness in every addition
of ingredients. Most
homemakers will be baking for
their own families during the
few weeks, so it is easy enough
to make one loaf to serve, the
other to give with these
recipes, "teach of which makes
two plump, delicious breads.
Since each had fruit, it keeps
well when plastic or foil
wrapped and frozen. These take
less sugar many others due to
the natural sweet of the fruit.
Quick fruit breads slice
beautifully especially when
they.’re made in advance.
Spread an assortment of them,
sliced, for your buffet tables for
an especially festive look.
Butter them lightly for holiday
snacks, as an accompaniment to
salads or as a colorful bread to
serve with breakfast or any
other meal.
To give breads as gifts, wrap
in plastic or foil and give them
gaily in a basket or on an
attractive bread board with a
wooden spoon tied to the handle
with red or green yarn. All these
spell the magic of Christmas.

Rep. Walter B. Jones Reports
This week the House overrode
President Ford’s veto of the
Vietnam Era Veterans’ Re
adjustment Act of 1974 by the
overwhelming majority of 394 to
10. The debt which this country
owes the veterans of the armed
services is beyond calculation.
Legislation designed to meet
the needs of the Vietnam
veteran was long overdue. I am
happy that the bill was enacted
into law despite President
Ford’s attempt to kill the
measwe.

Bethesda Naval Hospital for
several hours in order to hold a
meeting of the Oilseeds and

purpose of the meeting, as some
of you probably know, was to
discuss a possible compromise
in peanut legislation and
thereby prevent Secretary Butz
from damaging the peanut
program by issuing disastrous

changes in the existing
regulations. Although the
Department of Agriculture and
the peanut growers were not
able to reach a compromise, we
did succeed in convincing
Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Yeutter that the
issuance of these punitive
regulations should be withheld
for the immediate future.
Many new faces have been
seen on Capitol Hill during the
past week. Following the
Thanksgiving holidays, the 92
newly elected Members of
Congress convened in
Washington for their
organizational meetings. In the
past the House of
Representatives has held its
organizational meetings after
convening. This change should
be beneficial in that it will allow
the Members of Congress to
take care of their admist-ative
and housekeeping chores in
advance. Having taken care of
these matters, I am hopeful the
94th Congress will be able to get
off to a much faster start than
its predecessors. The country
faces serious economic
problems and the new U. S.
Congress certainly does not
need to waste any time in
working toward a solution.
During my hospitalization I
HAVE received many get well
wishes from my constituency. I
want to thank you for these kind
gestures, and please be assured
that your thoughts are most
appreciated. I am continuing
treatment for the infection in
my left leg at Bethesda Naval
Hospital for an undetermined
time. However, I expect to be
released before the Christmas
holidays, and of course I will be
on Capitol Hill for the opening
session of the 94th Congress.
Let flattery, the handmaid of
vice, be kept out of friend
