Feeding the Family By ZOLA Food Quick Popcorn Balls For Thoughtful Trees It is a thoughtless Christmas tree that doesn't provide some thing for the small guests who drop in- These popcorn balls can be made in any size, white or red or green tinted by simply adding drop of vegetable color ing into corn syrup mixture. Wrap in cellophane, waxed paper or metal foil. Better make some extras for the grown-ups! 3i cup salad oil Ji cup popcorn Vz cup dark corn syrup Vz cup sugar Vz teaspoon salt Heat salad oil in a three-quart - covered kettle over medium heat for three minutes. Add popcorn. Cover, leaving small air space at edge of cover. Shake frequently over medium heat until popping stops. Meanwhile mix together corn syrup, sugar and salt. Add to popped corn in kettle and stir constantly over medium heat three to five min utes or until corn is evenly and completely coated with mixture. Remove from heat. Form into balls using as little pressure as possible. Use butter on hands. Make six popcorn balls about 2V inches in diameter. Do not double recipe. Make batch sep arately. Oyster Treat Fof a holiday supper treat, saute one-half pound of mush room caps in two tablespoon butter for five minutes. (or use four ounce .can of the "broiled in butter mushroom). Add two tablespoons flour, a can of con somme, one tablespoon each of minced onion and minced pars ley and a cup of those good Pacific oysters. Heat until sauce thickens and serve on toast points. Cranberry Apple Relish A reminder of this unexcelled accompaniment for poultry or pork. Put four cups fresh cran berries, two cored apples, two whole oranges (quartered ' to remove seeds) and one ' whole . lemon through food chopper. Mix well with 2Vi cups sugar. Chill a few hours or over night before ' serving. Makes a good Supply; 2.Vt quarts of relish! Relish Tray If you omit the salad course from your big menu, plan on passing a relish dish of celery hearts, carrot curls, ripe olives and spiced crab apples or peaches. Edam Cheese Crock ;; In perfect keeping with this colorful time of year, no guest will be able to resist this Edam and wine treat. Just mark a scalloped pattern into the bright red rind of an Edam cheese and carefully scoop out the center. Grind or mash cheese until smooth, adding enough dry white wine to make an easily spreading mixture. Refill shell and store i- the refrigerator to be brought jmt proudly any time guests arrive. Arrange on your prettiest tray, surrounded with plently of crisp and tasty triangle thins, saltines and but ter wafers. Hard Sauce Snowmen The children will love fancy ing up the hard sauce for the pudding. Mix one-third cup soft ened butter, one cup sifted con fectioners' sugar and onefourth teaspoon vanilla. Form into six three-fourth inch balls and six one and one-fourth inch balls. Place a small ball on top of the large one to form a head and body; just like you would a real showman. Use cloves for eyes, nose and buttons. A long stemmed clove makes a good pipe, too. For a hat, use a color ful candy. Chill over night. Lemon Hard Sauce "Work one-fourth cup softened butter with spoon or beater until light and creamy. Add one cup confectioners' sugar grad ually. Add one and one-half tea spoons lemon juice, one-half teaspoon grated lemon rind and one-fourth teaspoon lemon fla voring; beat until ' light and fluffy. Makes three-fourth cup or enough for four to six' pud dings. Carrot-Raisin Salad An old-time favorite as a busy holiday luncheon f i 1 1 e r-upper. j Grate carrots and finely chopi some raisins and fold into a seasoned cottage cheese. If you've time, fold some of this mixture into a package of lemon flavored gelatin fixed according to package directions and mold. Easy Spiced Peaches Empty a No. 2Vt can cling peach halves into a sajice pan. Add a stick of cinnamon, a tea spoon whole cloves and couple of tablespoons vinegar. Simmer ten minutes and let stand over night. So easy, so good. The Family Deserves and -Needs Good Chistmas Breakfast Christmas -morning breakfast (New Year's breakfast too) often :is sadly neglected. How about making a big thing of it this year? Really .easy to do; just needs a little planning. In most families this is the only meal between day-break and the all important dinner. Feed Friends Too, Relatives, neighbors and friends are likely to drop in. They'll relish a glass of orange juice, cranberry juiced apricot nectar, vegetable juice. Maybe some bakery-made or VINCENT Editor home-made coffee cake hot from the oven. And plenty of gooood coffee! Fruits. Grapefruit with salt, honey or powdered sugar and sherry; sprinkled grapefruit halves with brown sugar and butter lump and heat in the oven. Any of the many fruit and vegetable juices,' apple sauce either hot or cold having been heated with cinnamon red hots. Breads. Fresh hot cinnamon toast, toasted English muffins, corn muffins, biscuits, cinnamon buns or fruit and nut filled or topped coffee cake fresh from the oven. If you've a waffle iron, keep a waffle mixture handy and invite everyone to pour their own. Meat and Fish. . Remember that f meats and fish served at holiday breakfasts are served in quite small quantity rather like a relish or appetizer. Consider crisp bacon, sauted kidneys, chipped beef either creamed or frizzled, Philadelphia scrapple which come in cans and should be refrigerated beforehand for easy thin-slicing and pan-frying. Codfish, creamed or in golden Codfish balls, finan haddie either broiled or creamed, mackerel, kippers . . or little pig sausages. Eggs. Creamy scrambled eggs held in "a covered dish are a prime favorite of many. Beverages. Coffee must be perfect, plentiful and piping hot. Tea, cocoa and milk usually are offered house guests and those who drop in. And of course plenty of milk andor cocoa for the children. .'Winter Pear Delights Plentiful, wonderful winter pears, the Cornice and the Win ter Nelis, can be stewed, baked, fried, pickled and glazed. They're perfect in fresh fruit salads with other seasonal fruits. Halve, core and top with mint or cranberry sherbert. Fine with cheese as dessert. Or brush with butter, sprinkle with brown sugar and broil for breakfast, with meat or as dessert. Best Buys in Holiday Foodstuffs If you've left the shopping for gifts - for nearby relatives and friends until now, as so many have, we remind you that groceries make simple ideal "family" gifts; "from our fam ily to yours". Foodstuffs are en joyed by every member of the family, are always welcome. Western Fruits and nuts seem especially appropriate. Consider those wonderful, luscious "Winter pears, the Cornice, the Bosc, the d'Anjou and the "Winter Nelis. A box, basket or other container. Or use in combination with crisp red and yellow apples, a few oranges or grape fruit and grapes or raisin clusters. How about walnuts, almonds or filberts in the shell or out of the shell? Dates, figs and the fine assortments of dried fruits or glaced fruits. Think of the food you'd especially like or recall favorites of others! Fix them up pretty! Bakery Good Things. If you didn't get around to making fruit cakes, puddings, fancy cookies and the like, you'll find them all and many;pther good things in one of the several fine bake-shops in the area. While you're there, remeber to pick up some fancy holiday coffee cake for your own family to en joy, and for offering Christmas morning callers, along with plenty of good hot coffee. Dairy Products. Put in plenty of these for the long week end. Be sure your order is in for egg nog which is blended to perfec tion by your dairy and also available at most stores. You'll need extra butter, for hard sauce, extra milk for the children and you'll be smart to have ice cream stashed, away if you can find storage space. Poultry and Meat. Decide what you want and there's plenty of it at reasonable cost this year! Turkeys, , roasting hens, geese, a few domestic ducks. Prime ribs of beef will be favored by many. Pork roasts and ' whole or half hams are good buys. For big parties, you simply can't beat slices of roast turkey , and baked ham. They'll prove least expensive in the long run and are certain to completely satisfy every one. Other Plentifuls. Rice, long white potatoes and the russets are in big supply. So are eggs, citrus fruits, raisins, navel or anges (Emperor grapes, dates, nuts of all kinds, aplles, Winter pears, b a na n a s. Plenty of shrimp, canned tuna and frozen fish, butter and cheese. Seasonal vegetables galore beckon. Merry Christmas! Sack Granted Stay On Murder Conviction Portland U.R) Georse F.

Comment On By HARMAN United Press Washington (U.R) Call me old, but what I liked about Christmas in the long back was that it didn't cost me any thing. It didn't cost anybody much, for that matter. A small boy could sneak out and chop himself a tree from any woodland, i f Harman Nichols the farmer wasn't looking. And around Farmer City, 111., a farmer often would look the other way. Popcorn, when it blossomed on the hot lid of a copper clad coal stove looked pretty nice after it was strung and hung on saved-up string.

(U.R) A cot ton mill worker, undergoes men tal examinations today to deter mine whether he was legally sane when he held his ex-sweetheart captive at gunpoints for 24 hours and threatened to kill any one. who attempted to rescue her. District Solicitor Lester V. Chalmers Jr. issued a warrant last night charging Graham Tim berlake, 31, with "assault with a deadly weapon" and possibly kidnap charges. Timberlake surrendered to authorities yesterday when he freed Miss Jesse Elizabeth Davis, 4f 29, after holding 'her for morsTi than 24 hours in the packing room of a textile mill in Wake Forest, N.C. ; Grange Upper AppIegaU Grange The Dec. 10 meeting of Upper Applegate Grange was pre ceded by a potluck supper which was enjoyed by 36 members.

This and That W. NICHOLS Ftur Writer was rushing five and "Aud" was around four. Some older kids had let it put that Santa didn't really come down any chimney, which we didn't have anyway. And that maybe Santa was C. F. N., our daddy. Present for Santa Dad always said that Santa wanted no more than an apple and a cookie as reward for what ever was left under the tree. "Aud" and I figured that if one apple would be fine, a dozen would be better. And that went for cookies, too. I guess dad still, at the age of 77, gets a pain in the belly every time he thinks of all those ap ples and cookies Santa had to eat .that Christmas Eve. Anyhow, the presents mostly were home made, or bought for little or nothing. I think I was all of six when dad disappeared around Christ mas time for hours at a time. There was the buzz of the saw and the whack of the hammer coming from the cellar. Nicest Present It was the nicest Christmas present I ever got. Dad had made me a sled. All out of wood He shaved off the runners and waxed them with grease. It slid all right well down the hill back of the old Herrick estate. All of this is but a memory, with the thought of tomorrow. Steaks than can be cooked in a couple of minutes, electronically without a ' flame under "them. Eggs than can be fried by the same process in the matter of seconds. Dolls kiss back. Motor- driven sleds that go uphill. Oh, for yesterday! And Merry Christmas to you-alU Sheppard Regains Calm Demeanor Cleveland, O. (U.R) Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard, suburban osteopath convicted of beating his pretty wife, Marilyn, to death July 4, is regaining his calm demeanor as his attorneys map a court fight to gain a new trial in hopes of upsetting the life sentence handed out for his second degree murder con viction. Chief defense attorney Wil liam J. Corrigan is expected to file the formal motion for a new trial, probably tomorrow, on the possible grounds that hearsay testimony was permitted, that some of his witnesses were not permitted to testify,, that news papers "pressured" his client's indictment and trial, or that the testimony of laboratory techni cian Susan Hayes, 24, of intim acies with the defendent was irrelevant. All . of these points were emphasized by the griz zled white-haired attorney dur ing the 10 week trial which ended late Tuesday. A hearing on the motion has already been scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 30. The 30-year-old osteopath, meanwhile, repeated to his pas tor that he still does not under stand how the jury -reached its verdict on the basis of evidence presented. He protested his in nocence in court when sentence was pronounced. SEE THE NEW HUDSON RAMBLER PRICES START AT IflOC Delivered ' MjTTrD Medford v Includes Heater and .

FRONT & JACKSON Phone 2-6281 Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) To 210 persons this year Santa Claus was not a man in white whisk ers but mys terious checks that bought e v ery thing from a leg b r a c e to a sewer system. The anony--m o u s checks come from H ollywood's famed "Santa Claus" who V Aline Mosbr by now is a legendary figure on ine movieiand scene. Santa, a radio-television eeleb- dity, six years ago began send ing checks signed "Santa Claus" to needy persons around the country. Each Christmas, by promising to keep his name se cret, Santa allows me into his "workshop" a swanky office to iind out whose, chimney he's climbed down this year.. Thanks to Santa's check for $125, a six-year-old Minneanolis girl may keep her leg. Four years ago my husband, a merchant seaman, deserted us, ' the mother wrote Santa Claus. "A brace is needed for our- six-year-old eirl who has softening of the bone. I have sold our furniture to buy medi cine . . ." Santa sent her the $125 check with the assurance the Security First National Bank of Holly wood, that handles his charity project, would send her the money. A World War I blind veteran of Gardena was sent a check after his wife wrote they might lose their home because the sewer was obsolete. A 60-year-old crippled man who escaped barefoot from his burning home in, Kansas City, Mo., was mailed $100 to make up for $J52 he had. hidden in his mattress. San ta gave a dying Van Nuys wom an money for a television set. A Venice mother received a train ticket to bring out her baby from Florida. : . A check signed "Santa Claus" went to the School of the Ozarks in Poplar Bluff, Mo... The pupils operate the school and raise their own food. A $100 check "to restore your faith in people" went to a nurse's aide at Queen of Angels hospital here. She had collapsed after learning a phone call telling her she won $5,000 on a radio quiz show was a cruel joke. Last year Santa was so over whelmed by his mailbag he de- DOMTT FR(SEY Christmas TREAT!

Two broke playwrights, however, got $50 here to pay for gasoline and a telephone until they could sell their play. The rest of the $20,000 Santa mailed out in 1954 went for medical bills and other necessities. Santa is proud that the $25 he gives convicts when they leave prison here has dropped' the returnee rate 35 per cent. Today I asked the handsome, suave Santa why he gives his money away. ' "It's probably a guilt com plex," he reflected, "because I make good money. . " "I have a selfish reason, too I enjoy it.
