For centuries, shortbread has
been associated with the
Christmas and the New Year
seasons. A search through
history reveals the interesting
story about this delicacy.
Like tartans and whiskeys,
shortbread is part of the pride
of Scotland, It is eaten year
round but especially at Christ-
mas and Hogmanay, the Scot-
tish New Year's Day. The rich,
slightly sweet, biscuit-type cake
is an essential part of the
welcon;•3 to "those who come to
visit on the first day of the New
Year.
Shortbread is probably a
descendant of the Yule Ban-
nock (an oatmeal cake) which
used to be baked on Christmas
eve in honor of. the new-born
Child. The round cake bore the
sign of the cross. This explains
why so many rounds of short-
bread made today are marked
into quarters.
As the festive season ap-
proaches, bakeries and
pecialty stores across the coun-
try are offering different types
(if shortbread, Many are ,
decorated with nostalgic
designs such as heather,
"hands-across the sea" or
"Free Bonny Scotland". Fine,
thin cakes, cut in strips, with
caraway, are sold as Petticoat
Tails. The name comes from
"petits gastels" meaning small
cakes in old French. Ayshire
Shortbread contains egg yolk
and cream; and Queen's Tea
Cakes, egg, grated lemon rind
and rosewater. Ginger Torte is
made of two ginger-flavored
cakes, sandwiched and iced
with ginger icing and decorated
with green sugar.
If you're on a shortbread
treasure-hunt this year, try the
following variations from Food
Advisory Services.
SHORTBREAD
1 cup nutter
1 /3 cup fruit sugar
2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose
flour
Cream butter well ,until light
yellow. Add sugar gradually
and beat until fluffy. Reserve
1/4 cup flour for flouring board.
Add 2 cups flour to creamed
mixture 1/2 cup at a time. Mix
well after each addition. Turn
dough onto board and
gradually knead in remaining
1/4 cup flour. Divide dough in
half and knead each half 5
minutes. Chill 30 minutes. Roll
to 3/8 inch thickness. Cut in 1
1/2 inch rounds and prick with
fork. Bake about 20 minutes at
300°F. Cool, Makes about 4
dozen.
Fruit And Nut Shortbread:
Make as Shortbread but corn-,
bine 1/4 cup chopped candied
peel or cherries and 1/4 cup
chopped almonds with flour
before adding to creamed mix-
ture.
You' can tell a good berry by
its bounce - a cranberry, that is.
Packing plants actually use this
characteristic to test for
quality. A good firm cranberry
will bounce, whereas a soft
berry won't. Only the lively
berries make it to your home.
The cranberry is a native
fruit of North America. Early
colonists named the fruit
"cranberry" because the slen-
der curved stems and flower
resembled the neck and head of
a crane. Later the name was
contracted to cranberry. Even
though the fame of the cran-
berry has spread to Europe, its
cultivation is still almost en-
tirely confined to our continent.
The lingonberry is a European
cousin. Cranberries are com-
mercially grown in British .
Columbia, Quebec, Nova Scotia
and Prince Edward Island with
a few in Ontario. They require
moist, cool conditions and
special care. The fruit ripens in
late October, ensuring a peak
supply throughout November
and December. This is the time
to stock up on them. They will
keep refrigerated in the original
package for two weeks. For
longer storage, wash them,
discard stems and bruised
berries, dry and freeze in air-
tight plastic bags or containers.
They don't even require
thawing before cooking.
Although „cranberries are
traditionallfor Christmas, it',s a
good idea to have a supply on
hand all year around. The
berries add. a distinctive color
and flavor to beverages,
relishes, salads, pies, cakes,
cookies, bread and muffins.
When cooking these berries, be
careful not to overcook. Simply
heat until they "pop" open.
Cranberries go well with
many fruits, especially apples.
Food Advisory Services,
.Agriculture Canada have come
up with two zesty com-
binations. "Crunchy Cranberry
Salad" is a shimmering mold
made with apple juice and cran-
berries. Plan to serve this salad

Make time for your garden
during the pre-Christmas rush,
advises Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food hor-
ticulturist, R.F, Gomme. If you
do, it will be ready for planting
much sooner next spring.
"Tidy the edges of flower
beds now," he suggests, "and
prevent winter rodent damage
by removing the dead leaves
and plants mice might use for
shelter. Add them to a compost
pile so that you will have a con-

Tie the boughs of evergreens
and shrubs to prevent heavy
snow from breaking them.
Plastic netting or rope is ideal
for this job.
To assure a good display of
blooms next summer, keep
dahlia tubers, gladiolus corms
and tuberous begonias in a dry
storage area where the tem-
perature is about 40 degrees F.

bird feeders and purchase

• Festive season over, make

This makes an appetizing meal
for birds.

projects, It is intended that the
Corporation will ultimately
progress in a financially self-
supporting and commercial
viable enterprise,
The share structure of the
Corporation is divided into two
million common shares and 20
million special shares that may
be issued for such consideration
as the board of directors may
determine. Limitations will be
placed on the extent of in-
dividual ownership and non-
resident ownership of equity
shares. The Minister of Energy,
will at all times hold a majority
of the outstanding shares of
each class of equity shares of
the Corporation.
The Corporation will be
given powers to borrow money
and make investments by a
wide variety of financing
vehicles in order to allow it
maximum flexibility in
operation, As far as possible
this Corporation will adopt the
structure of a normal cor-
poration and will be a normal
business operation. Its primary
objective will be the assurance
of energy for Ontario users,
rather than profit.
To ensure the Corporation
accurately reflects the
aspirations and interests of the
people of Ontario, the Cor-
poration is required to make an
annual report to the Minister
of Energy and this report will
be submitted to the Lieutenant

The goals of the Corporation
will be- to enhance the
availability of energy in On-
tario by stimulating resource
exploration and development
and expanding production
capability throughout Canada
or elsewhere - to encourage in-
vestment in energy projects and
the effective use of financial,
human and other resources in
energy projects to encourage
development of processes and
equipment which avoid
wasteful use of energy and
minimize environmental
damage - to improve security of
energy supply to Ontario
through acquisition, par-
ticipation guarantee and long-
term commitment of resources.
The Minister of Energy
stated that he made it clear in
his statement on natural gas
that there is no disposition for
the Ontario Energy Cor-
poration to undermine the ac-
tivities of the private sector.
The purpose of the Corporation
is to secure the interests of On-
tario in the matter of energy
supply. It will, in a sense, stand
between the public and private
sectors of our community. It
will reinforce the contribution
of both, but it will not rush
about attempting to displace
private activities in those areas
where activities are efficient,
appropriate, timely and
relevant to the real needs of
