tesses
must consider
heir house guests
Fox the ho-5tess at Christmas,
parties can Wan a serious
problem.. ;
What should you serve? And
how much?
' For theholiday dinners and
parties selecting the right kind of
food is very important.
You could, of course, serve
rich food if you also provide
enough exercise to work off the
excess *calories. Thus, if you live
on a ski dope; or want to stage a
winter cross-country hike, rich
foods for your guests would be
all right.
But for the average hostess,
who is simply going to entertain
her friends in the living or family
room, let's figure on a less rich
anti less vigorous routine, adds
Dr. Harsh.
You can avoid rich gravies, all
gravies, .in fact. And you can
trim the fat from all meats you
will serve. Buy leaner cuts of
meat. Avoid offering, especially
forcing, second helpings on
guests. Do not serve bread and
rolls in excess. Easy on salad
dressing and oils.
Try to -avoid large pieces of
cake or pie as desserts. And
don't be upset if some guest
leave part of their dessert at
their place, or turn it down
entirely.
A good idea is to serve buffet.
That way guests can pick and
choose what they want, avoiding
items they may feel are more
than they , want. It's more
festive, too, 1 think, especially if
you go out of your way to
decorate the buffet table with '
ornaments,and other trappings
of Christmas,that surpass what
you could place on the dining
room table.
If your're serving cocktails,
'remember that probably the
greatest source of extra calories
you can press on your guest
comes„ from this source. Let
people • take it easy. Don't be
Lady Bountiful with the bottle,
the physicians notes.
And as you serve hors
d'ouvres, allow your guest to
exercise restraint. If you've a
friend that insists on- being
helpful every minute •by running
around your party with the trays
of goodies, get her to relax, to
stop unloading hors d'"ouvres on
your guests as fast as they can be
turned out in the kitchen.
People will take one every
time the tray passes, either
absently, or feeling they must.
Better to leave the stuff at the
buffet table where they have to
ateleast walk to get it.
You may feel this all smacks
of , something less than
hospitality. But we are, after all,
talking about how to help your
guests eat with less, -excess. You
and other hostesses will get
twice the thanks in January if
your guests have no
weight -losing to do.

Fruit stuffings for fowl:
is traditional for- liday
.
Apples, 2 cups apples,
chopped fine;
Nut and Raisin, 1/2 cup
chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup
raisins; •
,Cranberry, 1 cup chopped
cranberries, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/4
tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp grated
lemon rind, 4 tbsp sugar, omit
onion and sage;
Apricot and Apples, 2 cups
diced apples, 1 cup chopped
dried apricots;
Prune, 1 cup chopped pitted
prunes. •
Dressing the. fowl is
traditional at Christmas. , For
many years recipes have
suggested the addition of
chopped , cranberries, c.dried
apricots, raisins, apples • or other
fruits to provide extra flavor.
Recently it has been found
that these fruits not only
improve the flavor of the
dressing, but the keeping quality
as well.
The fruit and other
ingredients such as eggs and
broth should not be added to
t ne i,readcrumbs until it'stime
to stuff the bird.
Home economists at the
Ontario Department of
Agriculture and_.Food stress the
importance of stuffing the bird
- just . before- .it is to be roasted.
After roasting remove all
stuffing from the cavity,- store
separately, and use within 3 or 4
days.
To make a fruit stuffing from
a basic bread stuffing (4 cups of
bread crumbs), use one of the
following variations:

TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS
IN CANADA WEST
By Samuel Strickland
Hurtig, 1970
The "Canada West" of
Samuel • Strickland's colonial
experience extended from the
bush country just east of
Toronto .to the Huron Tract and
although he spent only three
years in the Huron Tract itself,
fully a third of the book, is
devoted to it. He moved to
Goderich in 1828 and left. in
1831.
Here he had the honour "of
putting the first plough into the
ground of the Huron Tract."
Goderich residents will find his
experiences and - observations
interesting and well ' told. His
literary style is in tradition or
that of his two famous sisters,
Susanna Moodie and Catherine
Parr Traill. His character, style
and good humour epitomize his
message that a gentleman could'
succeed in Canada — and Canada
could make him her own kind of
gentleman.
SIBIR
By Farley Mowat
McClelland, 1970
SIBIR is the record of two

Soviet Union, one in 1966, the
other in 1969. He travelled ' to

state farms, schools and
universities.
He writes also of the North
Sea Route, construction of a
northern dam, NorthPole
stations, Soviet medical_ system
-- to mention but a few. Mowat

writes with his welt -known
"bubbly enthusiasm" and
cheerful disregard for the
conventional,
DIARY OF A MAN
IIN DESPAIR
By Fritz .Reck-Maileczewen
Macmillan, 1970
A Prussian aristocrat's journal
is a unique and prophetic history
of the rise and fall of Naxi
Germany. His horror and
contempt in exposing the greed
and bestiality of the Nazis made
him a marked man and ,his
journal which began in 1936
with the death of Spengler ends
in 1944 when the Gestapo had
him imprisoned in Dachau where
he died shortly after.
r. He wrote in 1941: "I do not
know if the end of the world is -
n
at hand, as DostoyevsKC said.
But this 1 do know, that these
are years tni a turning in human
affairs which, can ,never be
changed again and that the
tyranny of an arrogant
civilization is at an end,"
