Gifts to make for •Christmas The November monthly meeting of the Goderich and District Pro Life Group was held at the home of Mrs. Con- nie Osborn. It was decided that to change the group's name to include "And District" because of the larger area now covered. The 1st Annual dinner meeting will be held in the Christian Reformed Church, 243 Princess Street, in Clinton on Wednesday, December 4 at 7 p.m. Guest speaker is Bruce Heath, director of the Huron County Children's Aid Society. Christmas Cards designed by William Kurelek, the well known Canadian artist, are now available. Pro Life Group meets curator, Mrs. C. Nelson, atten- ded the curators workshop at St. Helens. Plans were made for the Christmas meeting on Dec. 19th which will take the form of the usual noon lun- cheon followed by the meeting. Clinton Women's Institute will celebrate their 70th an- nivr.rgary in 1975. Mrs. L. Lockhart, Mrs. C. Elliott, Mrs. M. Batkin, Mrs. C, Nelson and Mrs. L. Radford were appoin- ted as planning committee. The fall Home and Country magazine was distributed at the close of the meeting and Mrs. F. Mote and her commit- tee served lunch. Memberships are now due. There are now 250 members and it is hoped to raise it to 1,000. A one dollar membership fee entitles the member to vote and to receive newsletters.

Contacts may be made by phoning Mrs. Sharon Munro, Goderich, 524-7493. There was a time, and not so long ago, when jam and jelly making was strictly a summer- time. operation. It called to mind visions of baskets of fresh frui' corning into a steamy farm _kitchen and being turned into row upon row of glass jars lining a pantry, That was back in the days when home preservation was one of the few ways that a homemaker could provide her family with a variety of fruits during the winter months. Now that fresh, canned and frozen fruits are available year round, preserving is no longer the summertime necessity it used to be. The holiday season is a good time to plan a jam and jelly making session, since homemade Christmas gifts from the kitchen are a good way to economize and offer, a unique way of sending very per- sonal holiday wishes. Jams, jellies, relishes or chut- neys..these can be attractively packaged in a variety of con- tainers, decorated with gay rib- bons, velvet birds and winter greens. Use glass jars such as the ones that held baby food, instant coffee or applesauce; jelly tumblers, and even mini- crocks that contained mar- malades or condiments. You may also, of course, use jars with vacuum seals specially in- tended for home preserving. It's important to scald the containers to eliminate any bacteria or molds present and thus help prevent spoilage of the jam or jelly. If you have an automatic dishwasher with a very hot rinse cycle,. use it to wash jars and covers. Other- wise, wash them in soapy water, rinse, scald and drain. From Food Advisory Ser- vices, Agriculture Canada, come three suggestions for Christmas gifts from the kit- chen. "Pear Chutney" is a delightfully spicy canned pear, raisin and crystallized ginger concoction to accompany cold meats or chicken. " Strawberry Cherry Jam" is made from frozen strawberries and canned cherries and is the ideal accom- paniment for muffins or tea biscuits.• And what can brighten up a cold winter morning better tha n rbt-* Pi ne Mara' malade", a tart goldeh bleral of crushed pineapple, orange and lemon peel and grated carrot. Make them now for Christ- mas. They'll express your warm Lunch always seems to be the one meal that has to be prepared quickly and eaten quickly. The children are pressed for time to go back to school and your husband to the office. Soup and sandwiches are fine but can be expensive depending on the type of sand- wich filling and soup you use. Tomorr'ow, why not try these "Eggs in Potato Nests" prepared by Food Advisory Ser- vices, Agriculture Canada. Save those leftover mashed potatoes from the night before, shape them into cups, break an egg into each and bake.
