Party games designed spe- cially for the season can spur ( on the fun. For groups large or small, parties planned or impromp- tu, the following entertain- ing ideas are suggested. One way to "break the ice," especially when all of the guests are not well acquaint- ed with each other, is to play a guessing game. A Christ- mas Personality game can be played oy pinning a name such as "Rudolph," "Santa" or "Christmas Angel" on the backs of several guests. Then each tries to guess his name by hints others give.

Because duck is naturally fat, it does not require a rich stuf- fing. Fairly highly seasoned crumbs or tart fruity dressings are usually preferred. Some favorites ar e mixtures con- taining celery, onion, apple, cranberry or dried fruit. To truss, stuff, and roast a duck follow the same basic pro- cedure as for chicken. Before roasting a duck, however, prick the skin in several places with a fork, so the fat will drain off. The fat will accumulate in the bottom of the roasting pan, and should be spooned off. It is not necessary to grease the skin or baste the bird. Duck can be found in almost every supermarket at prices that are slightly higher than turkey, but lower than for Cornish game hen.

Well, here is something you in g interesting. The research committee of Consumers' Association of Canada conducted a nation-wide study to compare national adver- tised brands with private label brands of canned goods and came up with some surprising results. This particular study was based on two items -- canned peach halves and cut green beans in both choice and fancy quality, (14-ounce size). In all, 27 dif- ferent brands were evaluated by some 17 panels. It was found that in the taste ratings, personal preference played such a large part and the contents of a can varied so much -- even under the same brand name -- that in almost every case individual ratings ranged so wide that the averages were almost meaningless. Price was no indication of quality either. Prices varied in every brand, from one part of the country to another, tending to be slightly cheaper in the West. In peaches, the more ex- pensive brands did not contain more 'for the money. Naturally, the size of peach has a bearing, but they varied from 3 1/3 to 11 portions, so the number of servings is an important con- sideration in buying this product. As well, the syrup volume showed wide variations in every brand. The panelists measured the total volume in each 14-ounce can and were surprised to find a total volume of less than the stated 14-ounces in some samples of every brand but one. One of the cans contained only 12 ounces, In evaluating cut green beans, it was found that again individual taste preference played such a large part in the acceptability of the product that other criteria had to be used for judging value. Private label brands, on the whole, rated better than the na- tionally advertised ones. The highest priced beans were not judged, consistently as of better appearance, flavor and texture than the lower priced cans. Again the total volume of solids and fluids varied -- with the fancy grade tending to contain more solids; but again many contained less than the stated volume of 14-ounces. This study was undertaken because of questions directed to Consumers' Association of Canada for information about comparative ratings of nationally advertised brands with store Decorating with Cards Can Be Yule Project When children need a change from the toys on Christmas ,day, a promising project could be to let them see what they can do with the family greeting cards. Here are some suggestions from Jeannette Lee, art di- rector for Hallmark. Tape or staple cards to lengths of ribbon and hang them on walls or doors, Make a Christmas wreath by attaching cards to a circle of cardboard. "Frame" cards with con- struction paper. „ , Decorate a screen with' cards. In Japan 'East meets West in gift- exchanging customs. Japa- nese exchange "Oseibo," or 'year end - gifts, beginning about mid-December. brands of canned foods. in set- ting up the tests, the products were purchased and evaluated by panels from the area in which the product was .bought. The study pr' ed that price was no indicati • of either quantity of so • s• ality of contents. In fact, often the panelists gave st rating to the cheapest brand. Results of the study suggest that you make use of "specials". Price does not necessarily in- dicate quality in canned goods. Variations in both quality and price, (and the fact that the processor may market his pack under a number of different labels) indicate that your chances of obtaining satisfactory quality are as good in the choice grade as the fancy, and in private labels as national brands. So, judging by this report, it would appear that your best ap- proach to buying a satisfactory product at the best price might be to try every brand on your grocer's shelf, particularly if the price appears to be low.Then if one brand is not accepted by the family, it could be ignored In future purchasing. However, you might be fortunate enough to have an inexpensive brand turn out to be the family's favorite.

Professor J. Pos, School of Engineering, University of Guelph, says that up to 100 hogs can be housed in mobile trailers which look exactly like house trailers except that they have no windows. The trailers are from 10 to 12 feet wide, and from 40 to 60 feet long. They can be towed from place to place as they are required, or if the site of ,an operation changes. ",Actually," says Professor Pos, "the word 'mobile' is misleading. Generally the trai- lers only move, once - right after manufacture. Once they are sited, they stay in one spot." Some trailers are fitted with an oxidation ditch to cope with waste disposal and odor con- trol. An oxidation ditch is an oval, racetrack-shaped ditch, about 18 inches deep, which is attached to the underside of the trailer and in which waste is stored. At the surface of each ditch is a mechanical rotor that e. aerates the liquid waste, con- trolling the ditch odors. The ditch is emptied regularly and the wastes run off under super- vision. To allow for complete waste storage, each trailer is fitted with a fully slatted floor. Hogs are housed on one side of the trailer, with a passageway running along the other side. Each pen is fitted ' with com- plete feed and water facilities. At the moment, says Pro- fessor Pos, there are no trail- ers available in Ontario, but he believes that, if interest is strong enough, the manufacturer, may introduce mobile homes for hogs into Canada. He feels that a farmer starting a hog enter- prise and uncertain over the best management system 'to use, would find that a mobile trailer could help him plan his operat- ion.

SETS or OPEN STOCK_ at Competitive Prices by Charme & Romance The pleasures of eating duck were once reserved for the wealthy, "Rich Romans", said a Roman writer, were very fond of duck but they only ate the breast, which is natural enough, and the brains, which is very strange." Duck is quite different from chicken and turkey. It has meat that is dark with a distinctive flavor not unlike that of wild game. Ducks are marketed when they are 8 to 12 weeks old and weigh 3 1 /2 to 5 pounds. They are among the youngest and most tender poultry to reach the market.
