Organization Helps
Happy Celebration
New York (U.RI Celebration
in the living room at holiday
time calls for organization in
the kitchen.
To help you relax and be a
reasonably unconcerned hostess
to holiday callers, party plan
ners at the American Can com
pany suggest a "social shelf" in
the kitchen. Stock it with an as
sortment of foods which can be
turned into snacks or quick
meals, in case the "only stopped
for a minute" caller decides to
stay for dinner.
For tidbits to go with drinks,
stock a versatile supply of
spreads cheese, meat, fish
to be teamed with crackers or
melba toast rounds. Tiny sau
sages and frankfurters always
are a hit, especially when served
from a chafing dish, and with a
dip of hot mustard sauce. Be
sure too, to stock some of the
canned carbonated beverages so
the small-fry guests can be in
cluded in the festivities or for
grownups who do not want al
coholic drinks.
To avoid frenzy If a guest stays
on to dinner, work out in ad
vance two or three simple menus
and then stock the "makings."
Canned hamburgers, a canned
whole chicken, chili con came,
chicken a la king, spaghetti and
meat stews all can be fixed in a
hurry
Scoop out halved evocados
leaving shells intact. Dice avo
cado combine with shrimp and
vinaigrette dressing. Serve in
shells for a hearty and festive
luncheon or dinner salad.

Everyone loves to spend busy hours in the kitchen at Christmas
time making goodies to have on hand when friends drop in to help
celebrate the holidays. It's fun, too, to spend time making cookies
that are pretty to look at and in keeping with the season.
Poinsettia Cookies take a little extra time to make but the divi
dends are worth every minute they look pretty and taste so
yummy. Rolled oats is added to the recipe to give them a rich nut
like flavor and the colored sugar that's sprinkled on top seems to
set each cooky aglow. Serve your guests these pretty little treats
at Christmas time and add a warmth of hospitality to your holiday
, festivities.
Poinsettia Cookies
i Makft ti cokie$
2 cups sifted enriched flour 34 cup shortening, soft
1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla .
1 Z teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons milk
12 teaspoon soda 1 cup rolled oats (quick or
12 teaspoon cinnamon old fashioned, uncooked)
Sift together flour, sugar, salt, soda and cinnamon into bowl.
Add shortening, vanilla and milk; beat until smooth, about 2 min
utes. Stir in oats. Roll out on lightly floured board or canvas to
18-inch thickness. Cut 21 star-shaped cookies with floured cutter.
Using a cardboard pattern, cut 5 cooky petals for each star. Place
stars and petals on separate lightly greased cooky sheets. Sprinkle
with red sugar. Bake in moderate oven (375'F.) 10 to 12 minutes
for stars; 8 minutes for petals. Cool.
To assemble poinsettias, place 12 teaspoon stiff yellow confec
tioners' sugar frosting in center of each star cooky. Arrange 5
petals in circle with bases firmly planted in frosting, leaving a
little yellow showing in center.
Help Yourself to Happiness
Readers are Invited to Dresent their problems. All queries will receive
Individual attention and should he accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed

tion. The AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF FAMILY RELATIONS, S2S7 Sunset
Boulevard, Los Angeles 27, California.
"I have a terrible time trying
to reach decisions," confesses
Marie. "I seem to see so many
sides to every question that I
become confused. I go back and
forth from YES to NO and then
from NO to YES so often that I
wear myself and everyone
around me to a frazzle. I wish
I could learn how to make up
my mind!"
"I know women are supposed
to be changeable and unable to
know their own minds," moans
exasperated Jim, "but Marie's
hopping around the simplest
problem without ever lighting
on a firm answer drives me
crazy. Honestly, 1 don't think
our marriage can take much
more of this yes-no, no-yes stuff."
The inability to reach a deci
sion on relatively simple ques
tions can indeed prove damaging,
if not downright disastrous, to
marriage and profession. Accord
ing to Dr. Paul Popenoe, general
director of the American Insti
tute of Family Relations in Los
Angeles, your power to make a
decision does not depend entirely
on the difficulty of the question
itself, but rather upon your con
fidence in your ability to make
a right choice, whether it in
volves what to order in a res
taurant or whom to marry. You
cannot decide in a clearcut man
ner because, deep within, you
fear that your judgment is bad,
no matter what you do. Much
of this indecision lies deeply
hidden in the past, perhaps in a
childhood dominated by strong
willed adults or aggressive play
mates. Now, as an adult, you
must overcome your weakness

Open 'til 9 p.m.
by remembering that your inde
cision is an emotional pattern
borrowed from the past. It need
no longer dominate you! Start
telling yourself that you WILL
be able to work out your own
problems and then DO so, again
and again. Begin with unim
portant problems. Take your
time. Remember that there is
often more than one right answer
to a problem, and that in the
long run there may be a little
real difference between solu
tions. Choose one alternative
and forget about the rest. When
more important decisions occur,
here are some suggestions which
may be of help to make wise
and decisive choices:
1. Write your problem down
briefly.
2. Solve only one problem or
section of a problem at a time.
3. Study and evaluate your
problem: it may be unimportant
in spite of its pretentious appear
ance on the surface.
4. Talk over your problem
with an authority, if possible.
5. Before acting, gather all
available facts which will aid
your choice.
6. When alternatives present
themselves, weigh the ' list of
pro's and con's. Choose the best;
forget the others.
7. Take these steps in orderly
fashion, 1-6. Allot time for
thought, and do not let yourself
become "rattled" or rushed.
You will be free of the curse
of indecision upon the day you
find yourself following these
rules automatically. And when
you break down your biggest
problems into small parts, you
may well find that they are not
so formidable after all!
Coos Bay Awarded
Television Channel
Washington U.R) The Fed
eral Communications Commis
sion yesterday ruled in favor of
Coos Bay, Ore., and against
Prineville, Ore., in awarding the
coastal city very high frequency
television Channel 11.
Both Coos Bay and Prineville
had sought assignment of the
channel previously awarded to
Yreka. Calif. The FCC granted
Coos Bay the VHF channel and
gave Yreka UHF Channel 19.
The FCC said Coos Bay was
gi-en the channel instead of
Prineville because "of the great
er population which would ob
tain a new television service in
Coos Bay."
