With these THF RlinftFT "A heavy burden words President Truman attempted to describe his proposed budget of $85,444,000,000 for the fiscal year which begins July 1. This amount does not include a five to six billion dollar atomic energy expansion program which the President said would be sent to congress in the near future. This proposed budget is an increase of almost $15,000,000,000 over the current fiscal year which ends June 30. And it is not far from the record World War II spending of $100 billion in the 1945 fiscal year. of the total As outlined by the President, more than three-fourtwould go for national security programs. Including $51,100,000,000 for the armed forces, $10,800,000,000 for foreign aid, $1,700,000,000 for atomic weapons, $811,000,000 for defense production and economic stabilization, and $339,000,000 for civil defense. The military expansion program, as outlined by the President, would Include increasing the armed forces from 3,600,000 to 3,700,000 men, the Air Forces from 90 wings to 143, Increase the Army's 19 divisions to 21, add another 18 major combatant vessels to the Navy's 392, build up to 16 large carrier air groups, and increase the Marine Corps from two to three divisions. AU of this, of course. Is the proposed plan, depending upon approval of congress. At this point that approval is unlikely, because it would mean another increase in taxation. Adoption of this budget would mean a deficit of $14,446,000,000 for the next fiscal year unless congress approved the $5,000,000,000 tax Increase already requested by the President. But this is an election year and congress will be even more economically minded than in the past. Congressional debate over this proposed budget during the next few weeks is likely to be bitter. And it will end with congress slashing it as much as possible. At the present moment there is no indication of how much they will cut it. The defense items may be cut some, but the greatest slashes will be foreign aid and less necessary domestic items. Community Defeated Weather, Mountain To Create Own Winter Recreation Area Last week we discussed in this space how the little community of Grand Marais, Minnesota, lamed a mountain. In another version of the now familiar challenge-and-- r espouse sequence which seems to he hack of virtually every forward step taken hy America's small towns, the people of Grand Marais pooled their energies and talents in a concerted effort to convert the pristine wilderness of "Old Sawtooth" mountain into a wintertime recreation area by constructing some ski trails. top-flig- ht The spirit of cooperation worked another miracle. The townspeople, hy dint of their diligent and forceful labors, not only managed to carve out an excellent skiing area but also developed A some expert skiers in the process. With this groundwork laid, Grand Marais went ahead to put the final trimmings on the big project. In April last year, the SawFEATURE a tooth Mountain Ski Club-no- w member of the Central U.S. Ski as- sociationsent a delegate and an alternate to the Iron Mountain, Michigan, convention of the association. The delegation had instructions to bid for the Central downhill and slalom championships, the top sectional event of its kind. Supported by the Duluth Shi Club, Grand Marais got the bid-t- he first time it ever had been awarded to a Minnesota club. U1N mmill But Old Sawtooth still was trying to get the upper hand. To hold a championship a suitable ski chalet had to be built, a difficult task at best. Still, this teas the kind of challenge that the Grand Marais ski enthusiasts understood. So they began planning for a log building that would be a structure of passing great beauty, located on top of, the mountain where the view was something to make you catch your breath. the Everybody was willing to cooperate-exce- pt In order to build on top of the hill, the skiers had e sky-lin- e drive prevailed upon the county to build a to the chalet site.

Not until late in the fall was the road ready, and even then it had to freeze before vehicles could pass over it. The chalet project was going begging. The right-of-wa- y Down in town, however, a committee was out getting funds for the proposed building. Upwards of $6,000 came in by voluntary subscription. Logs were ready in the uoods. Bids were called for. And the rain continued. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Aging but still dynamic Winston Shurchill accomplished his mission to the United States. That mission can be best summed up in his own words as he concluded his speech before a joint session of congress. He said: "Bismarck once said that the supreme fact of the 19th century was that Britain and the United States spoke the same language. Let us make sure that the supreme fact of the 20th century is that they tread the same path." It was the third time in a decade that Churchill had eddressed a Joint session of congress. His speech was well received and it was evident he had accomplished much in bringing about greater cooperation between his country and the United States. Announcements of policy agreements, the transfer of vital materials from one nation to the other, and accord on military matters in Europe after a series of meetings with President Truman and other high officials, also indicated the successfulness of his 7 mission. . . The British leader also promised that Britain would help defend Westlimit fcfc m t'tt riirniAwwHi imfftitr ern Europe against Soviet aggression. And he cautioned the United States "above all things" not to-- give up its atomic weapons without an Iron-cla- d guarantee of peace. The federal farm programs, of vital interest to FARM PROGRAM home towns across the nation, will cost approximately 7 per cent more next year because of a government need to encourage greater crop and livestock production, President Truman said in his budget message to congress. According to best estimates the greatest part of the' cost would be subsidies. for price supports, payments, and wheat-expoThe President reported the program is being used to encourage farm production by keeping support prices of cotton, corn, wheat, soybeans, milk, wool, and several other commodities at 90 per cent of parity. The budget calls for $256,500,000 for payments to farmers who carry out approved soil and water conservation practices, $70,000,000 for subsidies to farmers who with the government's sugar-contrprogram, $182,000,000 for wheat export subsidies, and $75,000,000 for rural telephone and electrification loans.

She was identitied as Brigitte Ann Timbers, 52, of New York. She had served in Egypt since 1947. The British charge Sister Anthony was slain by Egyptian terrorists. Cairo newspapers, however, said she was killed by British bullets. She was slain during a four hour battle between British soldiers and terrorists. Another week dragged by and still no important progress KOREA was reported in the Korea peace talks. The United Nations command did offer to reconsider an important phase of its armistice prisoner-e- x change demands if the Communists would say how many civilians they intend to return to South Korea. In effect, the U.N. dropped its demand for an equal exchange of Red prisoners. There was no progress on the airfield question that has been holding up negotiations. The Reds insist on rehabilitation of airfields during an armistice. The U.N. command has opposed it. Meanwhile, at home, Senator Taft called the Korean War unnecessary and useless and said it could have been prevented if the United States had stayed in Korea and rearmed the South Koreans after World War II. He also said he would make a truce in Korea if he were President be cause "even a stalemate truce is better than a stalemate war." T it - there this February 16 and 17. The extent to which the community of Grand Mantis' cooperat ed with the ski club in this venture may be seen in the fact that on one evening 75 men and women came out to help clear the new areas. Over a hundred different names of persons who volunteered for work on the chalet alone were listed. These were the efforts that defeated Old Sawtooth. The rugged slopes of the mountain hare been brought under control, and the Sawtooth winter recreation area has come into ascendency. of the high cost IN a stew because meat?

Have your butcher cut it up for you at the market. Roll the pieces in flour, and when the fat Is well heated, add the meat and brown it to the golden stage. Then put it aside and add your vegetables, your onions, celery or whatever, and cook them just short of the browning point.
