Hail to the holidays—the rush and the bustle --the anticipation—the lights and trees and our favorite carols, May your Christmas be the best ever, full of fun and laughter, with your family and friends near, With so many things on.. your mind we believe our helpful hints will save you time and worry. TAKE A TIP 1. Polish silver and glassware but scald the dishes and pans and let dry in a dish drainer to save time. 2, Use a plastic cover over your best linen for the family meal during the festive holidays and save extra washing and time in preparing "company" table. 3. For a pretty buffet decoration, coil a piece of stove pipe wire (which you may find in the furnace room). Start coil about 8" in diameter and turn a 3 -foot piece about 4 times towards the centre. Then pull up the end in the middle to make cone-shaped. Paint with red nail polish. Decorate with left -over trinkets from the tree -trimming and Christmas seals stuck back-to-back with wire between. Place on a gold doily and that's that. 4. If you have lots of white paper serviettes on hand, suggest that someone stick Christmas seals on one corner of each one. 5.

Your homemade grape juice will look most attractive as a cocktail, but do sharpen the flavour by adding an equal quantity of gingerale just be- fore you serve it. 7. Don't forget that -raw turnip cut in match -sized pieces and steeped in red colored ice water will make a more festive relish tray of pickles and olives. 8. The last dish to take to the Christmas table should be the gravy boat. The gravy should be kept piping hot in a double boiler and poured into the dish that has been scalded to heat it, 9, To help simplify that last min- ute gravy job—dip out 1/2 cup of the dripping and pour into a deep skillet, then as youstir it, shake in % cup flour. It will look curdled but stir for 5 minutes then add two cups of potatoe water that you have saved from boiled potatoes. Next, remove the roasted bird to a warm platter and skim off all excess clear fat and set it aside. Ad the remainder of the juice along -with water to make up 2 cups to the gravy mix. Season with a 1/z tsp. dried parsley, salt and % tsp. mono -sodium glutamate. Stir occasionally another 5 mins. to blend flavors. If you forget to save the liquid from the boiled vegetables for gravy, use a can of consomme. Freshly prepared vegetables have the best flavor and good- ness, howevey you may wish to boil jams the day before and slice them when cold. When the turkey is taken from the oven, have the broilingpan rack filled with sliced jams and dotted wih butter. Place in an oven with top element on and the shelf 6 inches be- low it. Broil 15 mins. Turn each piece if you have time. Allow 25 mins.'boiling time for a kettle of potatoes to serve 15 and allow 15 mins. to cook the brussels sprouts. 13. Are you all set on the time required to roast the turkey? If the ready -to -cook weight is 8 or 10 lbs., roast at 325 for 3 to 3% hours, From 10 to 14 lbs. needs 3% to 4 hours. Tur- key over 14 lbs. needs 4 to 5 hours at 300 degrees. If over 20 lbs., allow 6 hours. By the way, the stuffed weight of a bird is about the same as the weight before it is drawn and that is the weig::t you pay for. Goose or duck may be roasted at 325 degs. Allow 5 hours for a 10 or 12 lb. goose. Allow 4 hours for a 5 or 6 lb. duck. Reminders in roasting poultry: Don't add water. Don't prick skin. Don't overcook to dry out or it becomes stringy. Don't cover except with foil or wet parchment. Don't leave foil on during last hour of roast- ing. Don't roast overly fat goose — parboil first 20 min- utes. When the bird is roasted, you should be able to move the drumstick up and down readily and the meat should feel soft. A meat thermometer will re- gister 180 degs. By the way, one loaf of bread snakes 8 cups crumbs and day- old bread is be st. 19. It is advisable to stuff the tur- key on the same day as it is i.o be roasted Or you may shape dressing into balls and bake separately on previous day and heat in warming oven for an hour before dinner.
