been launched by the Human Bet

hospital beds in the state at an an

two million dollars, the League,
which has headquarters in Win- j

While medical science is learn

"North Carolina statutes pro

prevent any abuse of this important
law. A careful investigation is

a compliment-winner!
ARCTIC APPETITE-AROUSER
Make your relish tray gay by deco
rating it with a pert penguin made
of a hard-boiled egg. For his
wings, cut a ripe olive in half
lengthwise and, with toothpicks,
attach one half to
center a whole
ripe olive on a
toothpick; stick
one end into top
of egg, and on the other end fasten
a piece of raw carrot for a beak.
After cutting a slice off bottom of
egg, perch it on a mound of snowy
cottage cheese, and surround with
SULTANA OLIVES. They're the
kind of relishes everyone relishes!
