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. c'� ANNE MARIE HOWARD 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: es fiEzsmirszcotramtvenitliveiveisesszotertlitriikssmasammatvertzilmoesrarmiseP ARGUS CAREFREE l64K Camera Outfit For black and. white or color cartridge film. 11 Includes — Camera-; I cubes, batteries, color carrying case. 1 1595 flash film, GRADE 6 NEVER LEAVE SMALL CHILDREN ALONE at Christmas (or at any other time).

'i0 ' 084l1'Jt SA 000.1410111* 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 trips made by the author to the Soviet Union, one in 1966, the other in 1969.

He wrote in 1941: "I do not know if the end of the world is - n at hand, as DostoyevsKC said.
