Givyer Beef is
RosU Holidjf Treat
Here is a truly exciting new
meat dish in which thin strips of
beef re pan sauced with a cat
sup, soy and wine dressing.
Serve with rice. Six servings.
Cut W'z pounds tender beef
steak into thin strips. We didn't
say this is economical: But we
do make the steak go a long way.
Dredge well in two tablespoons
sifted all-purpose flour" mixed
with two teaspoons ginger, two
teaspoons paprika and one tea
spoon garlic salt. Brown quickly
two or three xaDiespoons
rfceated cooking or salad oil. Re
move meat from pan and keep
hot. To saucepan, add two table
spoons butter, one teaspoon Wor
cestershire sauce, one teaspoon
soy sauce, two tablespoons toma
to catsup and one-half cup Cali
fornia red or white wine; stir to
blend.
Bring to a quick boil; add
meat and heat a few minutes.
Serve with rice or riced pota
toes. Tuna Dunk- Heap a bowl with
this generous recipe for dunking
(l3i cups), surrounded by as
sorted crackers, potato andor
corn chips. Combine all ingredi
ents and blend the following: one
eight - ounce package cream
cheese, softened, one - half cup
mayonnaise, one-half' cup grated
Cheddar cheese, one 6Vi-ounce
can chunk-style tuna, drained
and flaked, two tablespoons
chopped chives, one-half cup
chopped canned pimientos, one
tablespoon prepared horse - rad
ish. Hard Sauce Reminder. Cream
one-half cup butter until soft;
gradually add lVz to two cups
sifted powdered sugar and one
tablespoon cream, beating until
fluffy. Flavor with pure vanilla
extract and a few drops of al
mond or rum extract, if desired.
Many prefer the flavor of a few
drops of brandy. Chill until cold
but not hard.
Edam Cheese Shell
Handsome dessert or canape
tray item is an Edam cheese.
Hollow out a glowing red Edam
cheese, leaving about a fourth
inch ring. Crumble the removed
cheese; pour some cream or
sherry over it. Allow cheese to
soften, then whip until fluffy.
If desired, stir in coarsely chop
ped nuts. Refill cheese shell pil
ing high.
Spaghetti and Meat Balls
Fast for Busy Shoppers
Harried holiday shoppers will
find this a good meal to come
home to because it can be put to
gether in a matter of minutes
and the pleasant aroma of well
flavored spaghetti sauce creates
illusion of long - time cooking.
Secret is in the tabasco which ac
tually is the liquid form of mel
low red peppers from southern
Louisiana. '
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons salad oil
M cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, peeled and
minced
2 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
t teaspoon Tabasco
1 8-ounce package spaghetti
Grated cheese v
Sprinkle the beef with salt;
form meat into small balls.
Brown quickly on all sides in
oil in skillet. Add onion and gar
lic when meat is almost brown.
Add tomato sauce and Tabasco;
cover and simmer 20 to 30 min
utes. While this is simmering,
cook spaghetti according to
package directions. Turn onto
warm platter, pile meat balls in
center and pour sauce over all,
Sprinkle generously with Par
mesan or other grated cheese.
Six servings for four persons.
How about a generous tossed sal-
and and a fruit pie with this?
Festive Popcorn
Fresh popcorn balls, wrapped
and piled high in bowl, on tray
or other container or hung on
the tree.odelight old and young
alike. They re so easily made,
You'll get 20 or so medium size
balls from each four quarts pop
corn.
Boil together one cup light
corn syrup, one-half cup sugar
and one teaspoon cream of tartar
until a drop forms a hard ball in
cold water (265 degrees on candy
thermometer). Remove from
heat. Add one tablespoon butter
and one-quarter teaspoon soda.
Pour over popped corn. Cool a
little. With buttered hands,
shape into balls. Add red or
green fruit coloring to the syrup
if you'd like them to look es
pecially Christmasy.
Christmas Meats Are
Many as Smart Shoppers
Whether the big family din
ner is planned for Christmas
Eve or Christmas Day, meat
comes first. A gift of meat is a
practical holiday notion that
goes back to the Puritan cabins
of New England and the Tudor
halls of Williamsburg. Meat
packing firms have produced
special Christmas wrappings for
beef roasts, steaks, pork loins,
fresh and smoked hams, Canadian-style
and long-smoke bac
ons, salamis, spicy Italian hams,
headcheese and other cherished
Christmas meats.
Ham and pork products are
available in festive tins, many
of them spiced, decorated with
candied fruits and ready for the
table. The bigger meat markets
feature suckling pig, hogs head
cheese, aged rib and crown
roasts of beef.
Turkeys, ducks and geese are
holiday fare favored by many;
welcome ahead of time as a gra
cious gift or sent in anticipation
of sharing at a family gathering.
Turkey is far and away the best
buy for feeding a flock of people.
The bigger the turkey, the better
the buy. And few eating plea
sures exceed that of cold turkey
sandwiches the next day. Be
sure to spread bread generously
with butter or mayonnaise; salt
and pepper each individual sand
wich for superlative eating.
Broilers and fryers are plentiful.
Plenty of pork, lamb and beef
and check again on specialties
mentioned above for home
tables.
Dairy Products. Put in extra
butter, margarine, cream, half
and half, a variety of cheeses.
Milk men -will deliver delicious
dairy eggnog and it is offered in
dairy departments of super mar
kets; a creamy blend of eggs,
milk, cream and flavoring to be
enjpyed by all.
Nuts. Dried Fruits, Pastries.
Check to be sure you have plenty
of nuts and dried fruits on hand.
If you're buying fruit cakes,
plum puddings, fancy breads,
stolleris, cookies or other pastry
products, buy early.
Fruit displays offer all favor
ite varieties of winter apples,
avocados, cranberries, grape
fruit, oranges. You'll want some
Anjou, Cornice and Winter Nelis
pears and some tangerines. Re
member extra supplies of lemons
and limes.
Vegetable plentifuls include
Brussels sprouts, cabbage, snowy
cauliflower, celery, yams, egg
plant, lettuce. Put in extra po
tatoes and onions. Enjoy par
snips, turnips, rutabagas.

IRKED BY DUCKS
Manlius, N.Y. OR Disgusted
when ducks continued to flock
despite the draining of .the vil
lage pond for the winter, Mayor
Herbert L. Breckheimer verbal
ly blasted the quackers. "They
are just freeloaders," the mayor
said, adding that it cost the vil
lage $75 a month to feed them.
"If the ducks had any sense,"
Breckheimer said, ''they'd go
south anyway."

MISSILES CONFERENCE Vice President Richard Nixon
(center) chats with Dr. Arthur Kentrowitz (left) director
of Avco Research Laboratory, and Peter J. Schenk, presi
dent of the Air Force Association, during a missiles con
ference sponsored by the Air Force Assn. in Washington.
Opening the conference, the vice president called for a
full airing of inter-service rivalries and their possible
effects on nation defense.
Eisenhowers May
Divide Christmas at
Capitol, Gettysburg
Washington (W President
and Mrs. Eisenhower may make!
Christmas the occasion for a longi
holiday week end divided be
tween the White House and their
Gettysburg farm.
- That was the unofficial talk
around the White House Satur
day. Their plans have not yet
been announced.
The President's doctors may
have a voice in the decision, de
pending on how they think he
stood the strain of the Paris
NATO meeting.
Another Trip Ruled Out
Their prescription of rest at
every opportunity in Eisenwho
er's recovery from the Nov. 25
mild stroke probably will rule
out another long trip such as
to Augusta, Ga. at this time.
' The Eisenhowers spent Christ
mas in 1953 and 1954 in their
Augusta golf course cottage. The
past two years they presided
over big family gatherings at
the White House.
They have never spent a
Christmas at their Pennsylvania
farm, where a little snow can
turn the landscape into a classic
Yuletide scene.'- -
For their Thanksgiving holi
day, immediately after the Presi
dent's mild stroke,, the Eisen
howers, had Thanksgiving din
ner at the White House and then
drove the 80 miles to Gettys
burg for a quiet week end on
the farm.
Talk around the White House
late last week was that the same
plan might be followed at Christ
mas time.
To Light Christmas Tree
The President will formally
light the national Christmas tree
on the ellipse just south of the
White House Monday afternoon.
The televised ceremony will key
similar rites in many other'cities.
The first family's Christmas
plans almost certainly will in
clude the grandchildren Maj.
John's son David, 9, and daugh
ters Barbara Ann, 8, Susan 6,
and Mary Jean, 2. The young
Eisenhowers live in nearby Alex
andria, Va., and also have a
cottage on the edge of the Presi
dent's Gettysburg farm.
