I — CHRISTMAS DIMERS —
2ct>!24—CHRISTMAS DIN—inside
(By Irma P, Wallace. H. D. A.)
I have been asked to perform an
impossibility, and I suppose I
suppose I should simply say. “It
can't be done," rnd let the request
rest there, instead, I am offering a
compromise.
The query was "Please give us an
acceptable Christmas dinner menu,
that is also healthful."
In the menu which I am sug-j
getting, if I have erred too far to- j
v.rrd the acceptable side of the;
<vest,ion. I ask you in kindness to
i • member that I. too, expect to eat
n Christmas dinner, and the same
c'.d truth is still very evident, "It
comes but once a year.”
Christmas Dinner Menu.
Fruit cocktail, baked fowl with
dressing and gravy, creamed car
rots, buttered spinach. Harvard
beets, salad: cabbage, green pep
per, apples and nuts, hot rolls
Bavarian cream, fruit cake
Suggestions: Fruit cocktail may
have almost any combination of
fruits with their juices, grapefruit,
orange, canned cherries. peaches
and pears, with lemon juice mak
ing a pleasing combination, or you
may omit some of these, and add
pineapple if you care for it. Cran
berries stewed in a small quantity
of sugar gives a love.ljr color, and
a piquant flavor.
In making dressing for the baked
fowl, you can have a much light
er and tastier dressing if you will
add a small quantity of fresh but
termilk. and a pinch of soda just
after the eggs have been beaten
into the mixture, or if you do not
have the buttermilk, a little baking
powder may be substituted. One
cup pi chopped celery, and one
table spoon of minced<onion to
every four ■ cups of bread crumbs
will prove a change from the set
seasoning of sage. and in most
cases is very acceptable. Scald
celery and onions with hot broth
before adding to crumbs.
In making Harvard beets slice
pickled beets ana make a sauce,
two table spoons of butter, two
flour and one cup of the vinegar
from the pickles.
Mix your salad with French
dressing, and garnish with mayon
naise.

Danger Aato Accidents Greater
In Holiday Season—A Warning
Greensboro. — Numerous accident
hazards not given much thought
during the past 11 months arc ap
parent this time of year and should
be guarded against by motorists
rind pedestrians, it is pointed out
by David K. Finley, director df the
traffic and safety department of the
Carolina Motor club.
‘’Operators of motor vehicles must
he particularly cautious at this sea
son to avoid accidents," Mr. Finley
said. “Vehicular and pedestrian
traffic is more congested than usual
and care must be taken every min
ute behind the wheel. Let courtesy
rule in preference to impatience and
be rewarded by the consciousness of
not having been responsible for
casting a shadow over an otherwise
joyous occasion.
“Careful thought and common
sense caution should also be used in
the home at yuletide. Every year
many homes are darkened by sor
row during what should be the most
cheerful and joyous season on ac
count of carelessness and lack of
safety sense in providing decora
tions tor the house and Christmas
tree. Lighting of trees and dining
tables provide a cheerful atmos
phere but for the welfare of your
loved ones do not us candles for
illumination. Properly in?tailed elec
tric lights can be safely used to
festoon the tree and fashion the
“centerpiece" and danger from fire
is reduced to a minimum. This also
applies to windows where curtains
and blinds may Come in contact
with ait open flame.
“Paper rings and chains used on
the tree often cause fires and if
these decorations are used they
should be made fireproof Any pa
per can be made fireproof by soak
ing in a solution of eight parts
ammonium sulphate, three parts
borr.cic acid and two parts boras
in 100 parts of water. Celluoid
and tinsel decorations are very in
flammable and unsafe. Whistles
and other small objects and toys
should not be made available for
young children as they stick them
in their mouths involuntarily. Last
but not least, he certain the tree
itself is securely anchored so that
it: will not' fail on the youngsters
who in uncontrolled glee romp
around it."
