A Holiday Recipe . .
By GRACE E. GADEKEN
Christmas is only a few days
away but here are some last minute
suggestions.
Cornucopias can be made for
your tree from your last year's
Christmas cards. Cut them square
then fold with decorative side out
to form a cone, then glue and hang
with a string. Fill with candy if
you are lucky enough to have
some otherwise use nuts and pop
corn. Turkey and fruit cake naturally
: go with Christmas. Let's remem
. ber that a shallow uncovered pan
is best for that bird for a tempting
doneness. Place with breast down
and keep the oven between 300
and 325 F.
For slick slicing of your fruit
; cake, use a very sharp knife which
has been dipped in hot water. To
keep the fruit cake moist, half it
first then cut slices alternately
from each half. Push the halves to
! gether while storing.
Here are two holiday recipes you
will want to try.

Many a service man's mother, wife, or sweet
heart will be gladdened by ft Long Distance
call on December 24 or 25. But those calls
home from newly-returned service men will
add a big load to holiday traffic on Long Dis
tance lines. Even without them, it's so heavy
we are hard-pressed to handle the business.
You can help a of... by helping
us keep the lines open for service men.
