o TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. December 21, 1955 Planning Makes Holiday Feast Easy for Hostess New York (JiJ.Ri The ease with which you prepare and serve the Christmas feast lies in the planning. Avoid the last-minute rush by doing much of your shopping the week beforr Christmas. If you have a deep freezer, the .Jturkey can be in the house well in adv?gce, and so can almost everything else for the dinner frozen vegetables, bread for the stuffing, and even mince pie, ready to reheat. If you don't own a freezer, pie rjdays in adVShce. As soon as it is in the house, wash and dry the inside and rub with a garlic bud, getting into many crevices as possible. Crinkle lightly with salt, wrap and store in the refrigerator. Advance Work Cook or bake the giblets, and store them in the ice cube com partment or freezer section of the refrigerator, ready for use in the gravy on feast day. Potatoes and canned goods can be bought the week before. If you have storage room, white onions, yams and fruits other than grapes will keep perfect ly until Christmas. Then on the day before, you'll have only the perishables to buy. Home economists at the Gas Appliance Manufacturers asso ciate s the turkey stuffing tastes better if it is not frozen. Stuff the turkey just before it's ready for the oven. Garnishes can be made the day before. Celery fingers, car rot curls and radish rosebuds seem to have extra crispness if stored overnight in water in the meat section of the refrigerator. Another time-saver: set the Christmas dinner table the night before, and cover the works with a plastic "cloth" to keep every thing spotless.

Socks Favorite Gift For Men at Christmas New York (U.R) A man's dead, right if he complains he wants golf clubs but gets socks for Christmas. The National Association of Hosiery Manufacturers is out with statistics to back him up. The association said that last year 120,000,000 pairs of men's socks were bought as Christmas gifts enough to provide two pairs for every man in the coun try from age 15 to 100 years. Socks outsold pajamas and ties, a couple of other gift perennials. And this year, the association promised more socks would be bought than last year. Giant Spruce is Two-Week Pag By BETTY SOUTHLAND United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) A giant spruce flown here from the Black Hills of South' Dakota is the national Christmas tree this year. The tree ornamented with 8,- 000 colored lights was illumi nated here when President Eis enhower pushed a button from his Gettysburg, Pa.; farm Sun day. At the same time community trees across the nation, in U. S. embassies abroad and on ships at sea were lit. The national tree - lighting ceremonies ushered in this year's Pageant of Peace a two week celebration to dramatize the Christmas message of peace on earth, good will to man. The ceremonies will be at tended by members of the Su preme Court, Congress and rep resentatives from the United Nations and the Pan American union. 50 Embassies The pageant is being held in the Ellipse, a park near the White House. The Washington Monument towers nearby. About 50 embassies are par ticipating, along with represen tatives from the states, civic, school and cultural organiza tions. Many of the embassies have trees or other national sym bols in the Pathway of Peace, leading to the giant tree. The Pakistani embassy, for example, has a replica of the Badshadi, Lahore, mosque. The three-foot high replica is pink with a white dome and will be framed in a huge green wreath. There is a life-size reproduc tion of the nativity scene. And around the park replicas of other Biblical events. Santa Claus and eight live reindeer are the main feature of the children's corner. Puppet shows are shown several times daily. Second Pageant Beneath the giant tree is a stage where religious services of all denominations are held. Part of the pageant will be broadcast abroad in English and 38 foreign languages by the Voice of America. The idea behind the pageant non-partisan, non-secular, non-profit venture is to pro vide an exchange of friendship and understanding among all the peoples of the world. It was held for the first time last year. Its reception was so great that it was decided to make St an annual affair. Over 500,000 spectators visited the first pageant. And 6,000 men., women and children of practical ly every race and creed took part in the religious services and other presentations on the stage all demonstrating the same message, peace on earth, good will to man.
