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!

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.

V Aline Mosbr
by now is a legendary figure on

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

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.

During 1954 he changed his
mind. 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. In 1936 when I was
making $35 a week I drooDed
$5 in quarters on skid' row to
