Remove stuffing from the body and neck cavities of the bird and refrigerate in a covered bowl, It will chill more quickly this way and keep longer. Cooked chicken or turkey should be used within three days if stored in a refrigerator but it may be sliged, wrapped tightly in aluminum foil and placed in the freezer, to bring out as a fresh meal, Stuffing may he frozen in the same, manner, and your ice cube tray makes an excellent way to freeze left-over gravy.

Eskimos, bow- ever, would prefer to see— beans! For on Christmas Day, Many or .Canada's 11,500 Eskimos, especially those living on .13ar- fin Island, take part in a traditional yuletide feast call- ed a. "Bean Feed." This .Cbristmas meal is Pre• pared in a large pot, and can best be described as a bean stew, "They use beans as the stable, then add meat „ vegetables , everything they can to it," explained Mrs. Michael Gardener, wife of an Anglican missionary at Cape Dorset on Baffin island, Cape Dorset is typical of the four Anglican missions on Baf- fin Island and of the 16 others dotting the Arctic. About 150 Eskimos are per- manently settled at this mis- sion, but the population doubles to 300 for Christmas. By dog sled "About two days before Christmas, the Eskimos who live outside the mission begin arriving by dog sled, Some have to travel far three or four days . e ven longer," de- clared Mrs. Gardener, In years past, Christmas was an. ordeal for most Eski- mos throughout the north since they lived in isolated places and had to travel great dis- tances through the worst days of winter in order to attend Christmas services at a mis- sion or settlement. But today, more and more are taking permanent residence near mines, at air bases and on defense installations such as those along the DEW line. There are still Eskimos who prefer to live far from settle- ments, content to continue hunting as in the old clays rather than working for the white man or going on govern- ment relief, Children of these families are brought into settlements, however, and placed in the charge of residential schools. One such school is the Roman Catholic one at Inuvik on the Mackenzie River, where the Mrs. Sillery conducted the election and Mrs. J. Boyne in- stalled the officers. Annual re- ports were given. Two short films were screen- ed on the story of Jesus includ- ing the "Nativity" and "The Wise Men". The devotional was taken by Mrs. George Shaw assisted by Mrs. Strang and Mrs. Carmen Cann, Mrs. Norman Stanlake favored with. a reading, Hostess was Mrs, Lee Learn assisted by Mrs. Ross Oke and Mrs, Ersman. children are kept through the entire winter. Christmas Day, these children are not .able to join their families because of heavy snows, but they .are .mada quite at home during the Yule- tide holiday with a party and plenty of presents. Constant contact with white men means that the Eskimo is rapidly absorbing the white man's religion, customs and speech. But they are still proud of their ways and language, and on Christmas Day rather than say "Merry Christmas," many still prefer to say (1('P Not all white men's ways. are easy for the Eskimo to follow. Caroling, for example, presents something of a hazard in the Arctic. Thirty below "Last year about 25 of our Eskimo teen-agers gathered to go carol singing," said Mrs. Gardener. "We sang the carols in the traditional way, going from house to house and sing- ing -from outside—even though the temperature was 30 de- grees below!" It's only recently that the Eskimos at Cape Dorset have accepted the custom of giving gifts at Christmas, "When an Eskimo wants to give a present to another Eski- mo, he knows the Eskimo would prefer a gift bought from a white man's store." Mrs, Gardener declared, "but when he wants to give some.- thing to a white person, lie knows his gift will be more appreciated if he makes it himself." Igloos pose a problem for St. Nick since they have no chimneys to enter by. Eskimos, however, are just as happy to receive their presents at the front door. Report on Thames Road By MRS.

The amount was $300 plus $50 interest and it came froth "Another Elizabeth per friend of another Elizabeth", Elizabeth's continuing re. ward now totals $2,200, most of which is being kept for her in a trust fund for her educa- tion. The recipient is the 14-year- old daughter of Rev. Norman Knox, rector of Trinity Angli- can Church, Lambeth, who was minister' at Trivitt church here at the time Elizabeth wrote her letter. Elizabeth and her twin sis- ter, Diana, are now grade nine students at Westminster Sec- ondary School. Her letter to Santa said: "There are poor children who need presents more than I do." Its publication in The T-A was read by "Another Elizabeth" in a London :restaurant and she made her initial contribu- tion to her new-found name- sake through Arthur R. Ford, of the London Free. Press. The first contribution was $10 with the instructions to buy a doll that Elizabeth had mentioned in her letter, When it was dis- covered that Elizabeth had a twin, a second doll was pur- chased, The next year brought $110 and $100 of this was sent to a leper colony in India, Then came a total of 31,050, with instructions that $1,000 be kept in trust for the girl's educa- tion.
