Maxwell. In last weeks column I gave a recipe for a Christmas Cake which, while at undoubtedly belonga right i Up at the top Of t11C list, might p possibly ssibl be just a trifle too am- bitious for a lot of home cooks. So now here is a simple type of fruit cake which does not need the ageing which the "traditional" sort requires, and yet will prove to be a fine answer to the question Of what to serve during the festive season. Quantities given make two 9 x 4 x 3 inch loaves. RAISIN FRUIT t AKE 4 cups seeded raisins 2 tablespoons grated lemon rind 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon allspice *2% cups liquid 2% cups chopped nutmeats 4 cups sifted cake flour 5 teaspoons double acting baking powder 2 teaspoons salt 13/2 cups sugar cup butter or shortening 2 eggs, well beaten 2 teaspoons vanilla 11ETH0D: Combine raisins lemon rind, spices and water in a saucepan. Cover and simmer gently for eight minutes. Drain, pressing out as much liquid as possible. Measure liquid and add water or coffee to make one and one-half cups, and reserve. Grind raisins with nutmeats. Sift flour once measure and add baking powder, salt and sugar; sift three times. Cream butter thorough- ly, and add flour mixture, eggs, vanilla and reserved liquid. Stir until all flour is dampened. Beat vigorously for two minutes. Add raisin -nut mixture and mix thor- oughly. Turn into two 9x4x3 inch loaf pans which have been greased, brown paper er an lined with rtl ' ] ro a then d greased again. Bake in a moderate (350 deg.) oven for one hour and 1.5 minutes, or until clone. r -et st'n,l five minutes on cake rack, then remove from pan, leaving paper at- tached until ready to serve. Cool. Wrap in a clean cloth and store in tin container to keep moist. *The liquid may be water or left- over coffee. These Santa 'Claus Cookies—are a really tasty concoction of nuts and dates, and if stored in a tightly covered container—and safey hid- den away from youthful hands— will keep moist for quite a time.. I'm sure you'll enjoy them. SANTA CLAUS COOkIES (Makes 30 balls) 1'cup butter cookie crumbs 1/ teaspoon salt - teaspoon baking powder lea cup sifted all-purpose flour 1 cup finely chopped, pitted dates 1 cup nut meats, chopped cup sbgar 2 eggs, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla cup confectioners' sugar METHOD: Combine cookie crumbs, salt, baking powder and flour. Add dates and nuts. Add sugar gradually to beaten eggs. Blend in cookie crumb mixture and vanilla. Bake in a greased and floured nine -inch square pan and bake in a slow (325 (leg.) oven for 30 minutes. While still warm, cut into 30 squares. Roll each square into a ball, turning the top, crusty portion inwards as you roll. Place confectioners' sugar in a bag. Shalee the balls in the sugar to coat even- ly. After reading the column in which I told how to make dough- nuts of the "Down East" variety, a relative asked why I hadn't also included a recipe for another great favorite with countless thousands —the glazed' potato sort. So here goes. GLAZED POTATO DOUGHNUTS 1 cup lukewarm water 1 cake yeast 1 cup mashed. potatoes Y eup sugar 1 cup fat £. d 1 cu scal ed milk p 2 eggs, beaten Flour METHOD: Dissolve yeast cake in lukewarm water, Mix all ingred- ients in the order listed, and add enough flour so slough will not stick to fingers.

You can make a batch of it and, if you don't use it alI.on the cake or cup cakes you're making ,you ,eau put the balance in the refrigerator or other cool place, and use it at a later date. BOILED WHITE FROSTING 2 cups sugar %a cup light corn sirup Ya cup water 2 egg whites les 1 teaspoon p n V antlta METHOD: Cook sugar, sirup and water together, stirring until u r s ga is dissolved. Boil without stirring to 244 deg. F. (or until sirup f rms a rather firm ball when tested in cold water). Pour this sirup slowly over the stiffly beaten egg whites, beating eonstantl . Continue beating until r mixtu e holds its shape. Add vanilla. This frosting will keep in a covered jar in a cool place. If it becomes hard on standing, add a very small amount of hot water and beat well. -fakes enough to frost 2 layers generously. Gloomy Talk on't Build A Community Canada would be a happier, healthier,,and safer country for fu- ture generations if we had fewer great cities and far more prosper- ous towns. But we are not going to get very far, at least in building up' the towns, unless many business leaders in these smaller places sharply change their tulles and get a little more faith in theirown communities. In its "Canadian Sample" the Midland (Ontario) Free Press Herald makes this charge: "Very often he (the visitor) finds that the majority of merchants would rather grouse than do any- thing else. They suggest that busi- ness is as good as it might be, that the industrial outlook is gloomy, that it is not like the good old days. "There are exceptions, and when there are enough of them, you find an exceptional town or city. "But unfortunately too often they grousers, who watch Toronto or some other neighboring city or town growing at what they think is a faster pace than his municipal- ity, are in the majority." That attitude on the part of local businessmen can ruin the growth chances of even the best situated town. Sometimes visitors are look- ing for a likely place to set up a new business, or they know some- one who is or will be looking. Sometimes they may represent a financial institution interested in investing funds. One doesn't need to be told what their opinion will be of Blankville's future after Main Street's pessimists are through with them. From "The Financial Post."
