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.
Slim, Trim!

DEAR SANTA CLAUS:
New York '(U.R). One opin
ion polls shows that women
would rather have Christmas
gifts for the house than for
themselves.
The Masonite Corp. said a
questionnaire answered by 1,
400 women in 20 cities
showed 83 per cent wanted
furniture over any other pres
ent. Most popular gift items
were sofa, breakfast set,
lounge set, occasional chair
and desk.
Variations Given
For Cranberry Relish
Carbondale, 111. (U.R) Some
cooks like to vary cranberry
relish, which is a traditional ac
companiment to the holiday
turkey or chicken.
Here are some suggestions
from home economists at South
ern Illinois university.
Use a 1-pound size can of cran
berry sauce as the base to make:
Grape relish add 1 teas
poon of grated orange rind and
Vz cup seedless grapes; stir to
gether and chill.
Chutney add Vz cup seedless
raisins, Vz cup of chopped cored
and unpared apple; Vz cup of
chopped celery, and 1 teaspoon
of ground ginger. Stir together
and chill.
Pungent relish add 2 teas
poons each of grated orange
rind, coarsely chopped walnuts
and pickle relish. Stir together
and chill.
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.
Rapid City, S.D. U.R) The
Black Hills spruce which is cen-
Capital Tree;
eant Underway
terpiece of the White House
Pageant of Peace in Washington
this Christmas is a 65-footer.
The spruce was provided by
South Dakota's game, fish and
parks department and the "Keep
South Dakota Green" committee.
State Forester Harry Wood
ward said the tree is a "perfect
specimen" and "one of the most
beautiful Black Hills spruces
I've ever seen."
