fefense Expense Will Be Spread / New York.—Defense forever! I Or at any rate, defense—at a | steady but bearable rate of ex ! penditure—for as far ahead as budget-makers ever look, rather than alternate periods of build-up and slack-off. This is the picture which begins to emerge from De ien.se Department announcements of program ebaeg«s,. .■ . Production lines making medi um tanks and 2 1-2 ton trucks are Three one truck line w.l! close down al together. One tank madel is be ing abandoned. At. the same time the Defense Department proposes to buv as much as $500 million worth of large precision machine tools in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1953. Whether it will get them is doubtful; airplane companies are teking all the industry can turn cut now. The two actions seem to look in By Robert Schmidt Because of the response to my article of last December on the poinsettia. I am repeating the ar ticle with -me additions Tht poinsettia has long ber-y . .. popular Christmas plant but pro bably few peole have given muon thought to the fact that it does * _ r ___ at this season. The so-called blooms are really leafy bi acts which color up a brilliant red The true flowers ate the small insig nificant yellowish cups found in ’ opposite directions. Actually, they reflect a feeling that war in the near future is not a strong prob ability. that it is more important to have the tools with which to build fighting equipment for 1954 | or 1955 than it is to have huge inventories of 1952 models. I the center of the whorl of red | bracts. The poinsettia is one of a j croup of plants known as short 1 day plants because it will bloom j >nly in the season of the year with : •hart day length periods, prefer- j aoly ten hours or less. That is j « hv it is always in'bloom during! the Christmas season and not dur j m,:; the summer^ It could be pro-j lengthening the day light period to fifteen hours by means of arti- I ficial lights. Flower growers have j learned how to bring garden ehry- ■ amthernums into bloom any month of the year by using shari ng cloth to shorten the days and irtificial lights to lengthen the lays. The chrysanthemum is also i short day plant. How can one keep a poinsettia riant until next season? After its Jscfulness is over, place it In the Give Your Breakfast Some Good-Morning Glamour 'T'HERE'S a cheery "Good Morning" !n store for the cook who puts some easy glamour in the breakfast menu.
