C HRISTMAS pudding, tur-
key, cranberry sauce,
mince pies, the wine to wash
them down, all illuminated by
flickering candles, all the trap-
pings for a great seasonal feast
but they cart leave your best
damask cloth looking like a
disaster area.
Quick action, and a few simple
rules will help you do a pro-
fessional stain removing job,
and leave you with the' feeling
that all the trouble you went to
was really worth
Wine and cranberry juice, con-
sidered near impossible stains
can he removed from most
fabrics if you attend to them
soon enough, Prompt treat-
ment is the key to success.
When set by heat or age, they
may be difficult or impossible
to remove. The longer the stain
remains on the fabric, the more
chance it has to penetrate the
fibres.
Never launder or iron a stained
article without pre-treatment.
To pre-treat, simply wet stain
with cold water and brush in a
small amount of Borateem and
let stand a few minutes before
washing. follow, by wash
cycle and water temperature
recommended for fabric. If
stain is greasy, such as a turkey
gravy, we suggest using Borax()
powder hand soap. Always
note, that heat can set stains
into tile fibres, causing a per-
manent stain,,
For pre-treatment"foliow tfibse
three simple steps:
I. TESTING — Try a little of
the stain removing agent on an
inside seam to be sure the fab-
ric and colour will not be dam-
aged. Leave it for at least 15
minutes and give it a chance to
penetrate.
2. BRUSH the stain away with
a tapping action. A nail or
toothbrush will do nicely,
Hard rubbing may redistribute
the soil to a larger area or
damage the fibres.
3. LAUNDER the article with
your favourite detergent.
Here is a guide to removing
some of the stains you may en-
counter this Christmas:
Wine, Alcoholic Beverages,
Soft Drinks, Lipstick, Eggnog,
Egg, Green Vegetables:
Wet stain with cool water.
Brush on' Borateem. Launder,
Gravy, Meat Juices, Fats, Oils,
Grease, Salad Dressing, May-
onnaise:

Scrape off excess wax with dull
knife. Place stained area be-
tween 2 blotters or several
thicknesses of paper towelling
or facial tissues and press with
warm iron, Repeat if neces-
sary. If colour remains, brush
with rubbing alcohol. Launder.
Coffee, Tea, Chocolate, Cocoa:
Soak in cold water and brush
with liquid :detergetit'br, deter-
gent paste, Coffee and tea with-
out milk or cream require
soaking in Borateent and cool
water overnight. Then brush

Christmas
Greetings

Christmas recipes come
from many lands
Surprising' as it seems, many
of the customs associated with
our Canadian Christmas did not
originate here. Although we
consider the Christmas tree very
much a part of Canadians it has
come to us from Germany and
the Christmas card, from
England,
When we plan our Christmas
and holiday menus we usually
include turkey, cranberries,
mincemeat, plum puddings and
fruit.cakes. Turkey is a native
North American dish but plum
pudding and mince pies are
English. French-Canadians make
"Tourtieres" (pork pies) and
"Birches de Noel" (rolled cakes
frosted to resemble Yule Logs),
which originated in France.
The cranberry is a fruit native
to North America and the early
Indians cooked these wild, tart
berries with honey or maple
syrup. They also dried them to
increase their storage properties.
Early experiments in the
cultivation of cranberries in
Canada began in Nova. Scotia
and some. of these early bogs are
still in production. Newer
cranberry areas are in British
Columbia, They are usually sold
boxed, with a clear window to
show their brilliant coloring.
They are also canned as a sauce,
made into jelly or juice. In the
fresh state they are at their peak
during November and December,
If desired the fresh berries may
be emptied into plastic bags and
frozen without further
preparation. They will keep for
several months.
Cranberries are traditionally
associated with poultry, whether
at Christmas or any time of the
year. The tart sauce or jelly
enhances chicken and turkey.
However, its delightful coloring
and tantalizing flavor make
interesting desserts. One such
dessert is "Cranberry Cream
Mousse," a natural for holiday
enjoyment. The recipe for this
eye-catching, molded
masterpiece is among those
found between the covers of the
new "Festive Foods" leaflet put
out by the home economists at
Canada Agriculture, Ottawa. It is
reproduced here so you can try
it out in your pre-Christmas
entertaining, An added
attraction is that it may be
stored in the freezer.

CRANBERRY CREAM MOUSSE
2 cups cranberries
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
` 4 egg yolks
1/2, cup milk
'h, pint (11/4 cups) whipping
cream, whipped
4 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
Whipped cream
Combine cranberries, sugar
and water; cook until skins have
popped (about 10 minutes).
Beat egg yolks until thick and
creamy. Add milk and cook
until slightly thick. Combine
with cranberry mixture and chill
until mixture begins to set,
Fold in whipped cream. Beat
egg whites until soft peaks form,
gradually add sugar and continue
beating until stiff and glossy.
Fold into cranberry mixture and
pour into eight-cup mold. Cover
and freeze several hours or until
firm. Unmold and serve frozen.
Garnish with whipped cream if
desired. Eight to 10 servings.
One has only to look at the
shopping carts in supermarkets
to know that minced beef is
taken home by many families
each week. Most will be destined
for hamburgers, meat loaves, and
lasagnas.
Minced beef may come from
a variety of locations on the
carcass and is named accordingly
e.g. minced chuck, minced
round steak. If the minced beef
is from trimmings and such cuts
as shank, flank, neck, etc. it is
called "hamburg". If the beef
used is represented as being
"lean" it must contain not more
than 15 per cent fat. On the
other hand hamburg must not
contain more than 30 per cent
fat, Some fat is necessary for
flavor and, to prevent the meat
front drying during cooking. On
the other hand, the additional
fat cooks out and represents a
loss. So one pound of lean
minced beef provides larger
servings of edible meat than one
pound hamburg. Therefore, as in
all cuts of meat, the cost per
serving should be considered
rather than the cost per pound.
Meat in minced form is highly
perishable and should be used
within a day or two, or frozen.
The intense cherry red coloring
on the surface is caused by
oxygen in the air. Sometimes the
interior of a package is much
darker in color because it has
not been exposed to air,
The home economists at
Canada Agriculture, Ottawa
provide their recipe for meat
balls as well as two unusual
sauces, one using curry powder
and the other ginger. The meat
balls are browned in fat then
finished by cooking in a sauce.
Serving these economical dishes
with rice or noodles stretches
one pound of minced beef to six
servings.
