Turkey Legs Turkey by the piece, now being sold in some parts of Canada, is proving to be a boon far the small family who likes turkey 'but may find a whole bird too large for their needs. It's not known 'to what extent this pew treed has sparked the. initiative of home- makers in cutting up their own turkeys at home. However, it is' known that many of them did cut the legs off their Thanksgiving turkey and froze them for later cooking. It has been found that drum- sticks are particularly good when butter baked, milk baked or roast- ed with stuffing. To prepare the drumsticks: For roasting, leave bone in or, if, de- sired, slash drumstick lengthwise and remove bone and tendons with- out damaging skin; for other,meth- ods of"cooking, remove bone and tendons and cut lengthwise into three pieces. Roasting For roasting, use a shallow bak- ing pan with rack. If stuffing is being used, place a piece of alum- inum foil on rack and mound stuff- ing on it. Place drumstick. skin side up over stuffing. tuck edges under and skewer skin to keep it from shrinking. Brush with melt- ed fat. Cover with a "tent" of aluminum foil. shiny side in. Pinch ends of foil together to almost close "tent.." Allow approximately 21/2 hours for cooking drumsticks in moder- ately slow oven (325 deg, F.). Baste at half time and then about every 20 minutes. Remove foil at least 30 minutes before end of roasting time. If using a meat thermometer. roast to an internal temperature of 190 deg. F. Butter Baking Brush drumstick with softened butter. Place skin side down in a buttered shallow pan so that piec- es barely, touch, Bake in a mod- erately hot oven (375 deg. F.), plac- ing pan on rack just below centre of oven. When half done, turn and season with salt and pepper, Baste several times during remainder of cooking. Bake until pieces are fork tender. about 11 hours. Serve with pan gravy, Milk Baking Dredge drumstick pieces with seasoned flour and let stand on a rack for 20 minutes. Place pieces in a baking dish, then carefully pour in sufficient milk to barely cover pieces. Bake uncovered in a moderately slow oven (325 deg. F.) for 30 minutes. Then baste the pieces every 20 minutes with the pan liquid in order to keep milk on surface of pieces from brown- ing or scorching. Bake until fork tender, about one hour and 20 minutes altogether.

Eve under . brilliant starlight sky, his thoughts turned to the Nativity of the Christ child. Luther. was impressed with the beauty of the heavens and the wintry landscape. He observed the snow - flecked evergreen trees, sparkling in the moonlight. Re- turning home, he related the ex- perience to his family and attempt- ed to reproduce the outdoor scene.

Meet in Hensall- TR. a 'small evergreen tree he at- taehed lighted candles to simulate the reflections of the starlit heav- en—the heaven that looked down over Bethlehem on the first Christ: teas Eve. This Would date the first lighted Christmas tree prior to 1546. How- ever, the use of candles apparent- ly did • not at once become firm established as a decoration be- cause mention of the Christmas. tree custom in Strasbourg a cen- tury later does not refer to lights, At'first, lights on a tree were con- sidered ridiculous or "child's play". Until about 1700 the Christ- mas tree custom appears to have been confined to the R,hine River district. From 1700 on, when lights were accepted as part of the dec- orations, the Christmas tree was well on its way to becoming a tra- dition in Germany. During the American Revolution the tradition of the Christmas tree crossed the Atlantic with 'the Hes- sian soldiers. A description of Christmas festivities at Fort Dear- born. 111., in 1804, mentions a Christmas tree. However, the prac- tice did not gain much headway on this side of the Atlantic until about -the middle of the nineteenth century when, after a year of con- troversy and doubt, it became an established custom in Cleveland, Ohio. 'Finland is credited with having accepted the custom' about 1800, With each branch well present ed, the fall executive meeting of South Huron District of the W.I. was held in the council chamber of Hensall Town Hall. Mrs. E. Desjardine. of Grand Bend. county' president, presided. The executive felt that the dis- trict having the WI rally should appoint the delegate to. go to the leadership training school in Vine- land in February, Mrs. D. Mack. of Crediton. reported on t h e Tweedsmuir competition, and there was considerable discussion do the subject. It was announced that it is H,ir- ondale's turn to elect a committee to prepare the list for Exeter Fall Fair WI competition. The list is to be ready early in the year. and explicit directions. giving size. knitted or crocheted. etc., to be handed to Mrs. Kestle of Exeter.

The rally was held in Londes- boro recently when all attending had a very profitable time. The 1958 rally will be held in South Huron with an invitation expected to be forthcoming in the spring. It was decided that expenses of eight cents per mile. both ways. be paid, when attending an execu- tive meeting in Hensall in the spring, Mrs. Desjardine asked that each branch secretary send a copy of their year's program to her for reference. and send fees in Feb- ruary and to send all out at once. Mrs. Desjardine, in her gracious manner, reported on the first na- tion WI convention held at Ottawa. which she attended as a delegate,, and commented on the clever wo- men who are guiding the destiny' as an organization. It was unani- mously deviled to send a nine of appreciation to Crediton branch for the most enjoyable evening for which they bad extended invita-' tionb to all the breaches of South fiurdn. Honorary guests were Mrs. Geo. Wilsan, St, Marys, and Mrs, May - nark of finioirtriil4 Who .had been Aeiegaten tO14,44. fourteen Deitnark 18110, Sweden, 18?0, and " ttlFwny abput 1880. '.

At first, the trimmings, if any, consisted mostly of tufts of cottpn and strings of popcorn and cran- berries,. Other decorations were flowers, replicas of foodstuffs, pa- per ornaments and the life. Such trimmings have long since. been replaced by factory -made," highly colored ornaments, tinsels, strings of electric lights and various nov- elties. The traditional use of evergreen trees during .the Christmas season provides, a time when all Canadians are brought into close contact. with the fragrance and freshness of the forest. Christmas trees- probably add more to mark the period of "peace on earth—good will toward men" than any other product of the soil. Indoors and outdoors, Christmas trees have become es- sential for decorative purposes in the homes, in the parks and on the streets, in churches and in busi- ness houses. Christmas would seem barren without them. The spreading branches serve most fittingly too, as a delightful hid- ing place for Santa Claus' pres- ents for children and adults. - -The Christmas tree is a symbol of a living Christmas spirit. r: -r a .+X 1 .; � .ti Q.v,a I .n; .n' .rn I EXTRA SPECIAL BAKERY TREATS FOR 006 ��g!
