A large :crowd of families and friends of the children enjoyed the program entitled "Christmas Everywhere" in honour of the International Year of the Child. Laura Roy presented a reading to open the program. A choir of about 30 children sang several songs under the capable direction of Mildred McAsh. The Nursery Class depicted "Christmas in Mexico" with a turn by each child at hitting a pinata, a Mexican Hat Dance and a poem. "Christmas in ,Ger- many", where the first Christmas tree was in- troduced, was illustrated by the Kindergarten Grade 1 .class with a rhythm band, ° choral speaking selection and a dance around the Christmas tree. The English traditions of Christmas were presented by the Primary Class with a dance to the carol "I Saw Three Ships" and a dramatization of the Yule Log tradition. Members of the Junior Class demonstrated some Try this unique idea Do you need a last minute gift or stocking stuffer idea? Food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food suggest one that can be used on Christmas Day a meat thermometer. This ' handy little gift wily lie' appreciated 'and° very useful whether the main course meat is Ontario turkey, chicken, pork, beef, lamb or rabbit. The thermometer takes the guessing out of roasting any meat. On this busy day, think how easy it would be to insert a thermometer into the meat . or poultry (or stuffing of the turkey) at the beginning of cooking, and let it indicate when the meat is done. - Certainly, the cook has a general idea of how long to roast the meat. For example, most cookbooks indicate that a ,12-1b. whole stuffed turkey, roasted at 160 degrees C (325 degrees F), will take about 43/4 to 51/2 hours. But, that's a : 3/4 hour, difference tt-*- 'A4bTth r thermometer will tel=l you exactly when it's done without the guesswork. A meat thermometer is usually labeled with temperatures of doneness. For; .example, for turkey and chicken, thigh meat should register 85 degrees C (185 degrees F), stuffing 74. degrees C (165 degrees F);, pork should register 80 degrees C (170 degrees F) for a juicy roast, 85 degrees C (185 degrees F) for a drier, more tender roast; beef will 'register 60 degrees C (140 degrees F) for rare, 65 degrees C (150 degrees F) for medium, and 75 degrees C (170 degrees F) for well-done.'"

Since meat or poultry are part of many meals, .it makes good sense to cook them to perfection with the help of a meat thermometer.

For their good behavior, they received gifts from Black Peter and Saint Nicholas of Holland. The Junior Class returned to illustrate the important part played by la creche or the manger scene in the celebration of Christmas in France.
