Let’s Try Something New

A new iplan for
a new kitchen
or a new plan
for an old one!
It goes without
saying that the
kitchen is the
very heart of
the home. N o

thinking of home economists, plan
ning experts and engineers at your
local power and light office soon
will make it‘possible for you to se
cure help In planning a beautiful
kitchen, complete aud efficient.
As wo think about our kitchen we
can readily see how it divides Itself
naturally into throe distinct corners
of activity.

The story behind Christ

for perishable foods to be stored as
soon as they are brought Into the
house. Walt cabinets should he used
for canned foods, ‘Cereals, drled
fruits, etc. Base cabinets should be
used for sitter, bulk storage, meat
grinder, etc.
(2) Preparation and cleaning cen
ter which is the heart of the kitchen
and should be centrally located, be
cause almost every activity In’ the
kitchen involves the ttse of the sink.
It Is here that the preparation of
food for storage takes place, the
washing of the dishes and disposing,
of food waste. The wall cabinets sur
rounding the sink should be used
for storing dishes, glasses, mixing
bowls, etc. The base cabinet's should
be used for cuitery, cleaning com
pounds, towels, etc.'
(3) Cooking‘and serving center
should be located near - the dining
room entrance. This will save tiine
and energy In serving meals. Wall
cabinets should -be located over the
range for storing dishes, condiments,
percolator, waffle iron, etc.
The efficiency of any kitchen de
pends upon the location of these
three centers, their relationship to
each other and to the rest of the
house. Plan your kitchen for ef
ficiency!
this start the day right. So good la it
to look at that it will seem almost
another one of the handsome gifts
Santa has left for the family. An ex-
;tra ring wrapped 111 gay paper’ and
tied with tinsel is a most delightful
way to convey Christmas wishes to
those new neighbors or to those old
I friends a few doors away.
Fashionable Christmas pies are
featuring' a paper-thin lower crust
and a mere suggestion for a top
crust, with the accent on design.
Crisscross Cranberry Pie not only
,cuta down on the shortening usually
required, but uses honey for part of
I the sweetening. A hint of allspice
and grated lemon rind add flavor-
interest while cheery cranberries
peep through.\the latticed crust with
the gay lure W ,mistletoe.'
A holiday season without cookies
is unthinkable,- even if, sugar has to
"be skimped elsewhere to make them.
Chocolate Almond Squares, are at
tractive, quick and easy to, make. A
garnish' conetstlng of a dabf-'Of naelt-
ed candy bar or,, chocolate -fudge
frosting, topped with- a balanched aK
mond, gives them special' "Merry
Christmas” look.
When you are so devoted to doing
what Is right that you press straight
on to that and disregard what men
"are' saying about, you, there” is the
triumph of - moral courage.—Phil
lips Brooks.'

Into this year’s holiday baking is as
white and light as a fluttering snow
flake. If sugar and shortening are a
bit scarce, there are other sweeten
ers, and there is many a cookery
trick to make the most of what Is
available.
Candled Fruit Muffins, for ex
ample, got much of their sweet good
ness from the candled fruit that not
only sweetens them but gives them
their holiday flavor as well.

Star of Bethlehem
Phenomenon of Age
The Star of Bethlehem has been
the subject of extensive research and
.discussion.
■ Modern astronomer^ have consid
ered several natural phenomenon
theories, without attaching too much
weight to any such hypothesir.
Skeptics re.gard the whole thing as
mere invention," colored' with Orient
al Imagery, designed to honor the
supernatural phenomenon., which pro
claimed-'the birth of Jesus,
The. -first’ chapter of the gospel ac
cording to St. liiatthew begins;
“The book of the generation of
Jesus Christ, the son of David, the
eon ot Abraham ..."
And confirming - Bethlehem as the
city of David, the angel of the Lord
declared:
".For unto you is born this day, in
the city of' David, a SAVIOUR which
is CHRIST the Lord." St. Luke 2:11.
Considering tradition, which ac
cepts that King David’s shield form
ed a six-pointed star, the Star of
Bethlehem appropriately
"... stood over where the young
Child was," St, Matthew 2:9.
