Xmas Holiday Ideas by Miss Frances Allen Over cokes at the drug store the other day Miss Frances Allen, home economist for the Carolina Power and Light Co., divulged some inter esting information about stretching ration points, good ideas for the Christmas cookie jar, and sugges tions for simple but mighty attrac tive holiday decorations. While chat ting with Miss Allen and receiving clear cut answers to kitchen prob lems, she offered to write out a few of these reasonable and timely ideas. Zippos head the list. They're made of 1-2 lb. semi-sweet chocolate; 2-3 cup bran cereal; 1-4 cup seedless taisins; 1-2 cup chopped nuts; few grains salt. Now melt the chocolate over hot water. Combine bran cer eal, raisins, nut meats and salt. Add to chocolate, stir until mixed and drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed pa per. Yield: 14 candies (1 1-2 inches in diameter). Easy, isn't it? Oatmeal Crunches. Low on short ening, no sugar, and only one egg. Measure 1-2 cup oatmeal; 1-2 cup grapenuts; 1 1-2 cups flour; 1 tsp. baking powder; 1-2 tsp. soda; 1-4; tsp. salt; 1-2 cup margerine; 1 cup: honey: 1 egg; 1-2 tsp. vanilla. Toast' oatmeal in oven, grind the cereals | using fine knife. Sift dry ingred-1 ients together. Cream margerine and i honey well. Add beaten egg and va-, nilla. Add cereals, then flour and j mix well. Store in refrigerator over, night. Drop on greased cookie sheet j and flatten with back of spoon. Bake I at 375 deg. F. for 8 to 10 minutes. 1 (Makes 5 dozen.) When you have meat worries serve j this good chop suey using leftover meats. 1-4 cup shortening; 2 cups! cooked meat cut into thin strips; 1 cup onions cut fine; 1 tsp. salt; 1-16 tsp. pepper; 2 cups mixed chopped vegetables; 2 1-2 cups celery cut fine; 2 cups bean sprouts; 2 cups hot water. Thickening ingredients—2 tbsp. cold water; 2 tbsp. cornstarch: 1 tsp. vinegar. Melt butter or vege- j table fat in hot skillet. Add onions' and fry for three minutes. Combine! and add flavoring and thickening in-; gredients. Cook until thick and serve hot over noodles or rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish with onions, peper r boiled sliced' egg. Decorations! Let the family and visiting soldiers in on these. They like to help with the decorating too. "Snow-balls" made of small round pine cones. Soak in water for five minutes. One by one drop cones into bag contaiinng two cups white flour. Shake well until cones are covered with flour. Bake them in slow over until flour sets. Finely cut tinsel or granulated snow may be added to the flour if desired. The cones can then be tied together with ribbon or used with holly and greens. Black walnuts can be treated in the same way and used for table decorations. Sprigs painted silver or white, holly berries and decorated candles add magic to Christmas holidays.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE PILOT "THERE'LL ALWAYS BE A CHRISTMAS" i The following poem was written | for her nephew by Miss Ellen Bru ton, superintendent of nurses at the | Moore County Hospital, and was read by Miss Birdilia Bair at a ! meeting of the Woman's Society of | the Church of Wide Fellowship last i week: There'll always be a Christmas, don't say it isn't so; Believe in Santa, believe in reindeer. believe in mistletoe; j In everything that's in his pack, on his back, on his sleigh— , For there'll always be a Christmas when we believe that way. jit's just like a tiptoeing as little children know, Something grownups don't forget as they grow; It may be music or just maybe a magical spell Making it so there'll always be a Christmas bell. There'll always be a Christmas gift for you ,On the tree, in the mail, just any way will do; Oh what a beautiful feeling you \ have when you know There'll always be a Christmas wherever you go. 1 1 wonder sometimes how you can still hear The chimes, believe all the rhymes over there— | But then I remember you believe with me | There'll always be a beautiful Christmas tree. It missing it once will cause a wee tear You can produce a native and call him sir St. Nick will never fail you when you know There'll always be a Santa Claus wherever you go. j There'll always be a Christmas, keep that in mind, I Just ahead of you like "Old Christ mas", or' just behind; . Sing it, or say it, or feel it every single day— j For there'll always be a Christmas in the U. S. A.
