Wassail Bowl Is Traditional New York - IUP1I - An 18th century recipe for wassail bowl called for "ten love ap ples, a clutch of eggs and a flagon of Spanish sherry. But ale was the basis of Ihe original recipe created some 1,500 years ago. Wassail was the first English toast. It means "be well." the proper Anglo-Saxon response, "drink hael," means "drink well." A 20th century wassail bowl is made by dissolving 1A lo VS cup of brown sugar (use small er amount with dry sherry, larger with sweet or cream sherry) in Vt cup of water. Add 1 teaspoon of ginger and V2 teaspoon of nutmeg. For a spicier beverage, also add V4 teaspoon each of allspice and mace, 3 cloves and a small stick of cinnamon. Bring to boil, add 2 bottles of sherry and bring to boil again. In a 2S-qtinrt punch bowl, beat 6 egg yolks until lemon colored. Fold in 6 stiffly beat en egg whites. Add hot spiced wine slowly, stirring constant ly. Float 6 whole small baked apples on the foam, dust punch and apples with nut meg and serve. Makes 18 cups. Traditionally, (oast instead of eggs was used in the was sail. Hot buttered toast can be served with the modern ver sion.

Serving the Rogue Valley for Over 50 Years Your Professional Laundry Specialist Advises on Kitchen Corvallis-One of the most common errors made in kitch en planning is the location of the popular built-in oven,1 ac cording to Bernice Strawn, extension home management specialist at Oregon State Col lege. Function should precede de sign when planning new kitchens or remodeling, she advises. Built-in ovens are oft en placed in an expanse of wood paneling or brick wall with no close-by adjoining counter to place hot foods on as they come from the oven. In many ovens, the door is left open for broiling, allowing es caping vapors to discolor pan eling above the door. Every cook needs a counter at least 18 inches wide next to the oven to set hot foods on as they are removed. If a built-in oven is placed near surface units, allow 18 to 24 inches of counter area between the two, Miss Strawn continues. Attractive and modern look ing, built-in ovens offer many conveniences. However, each kitchen, new or remodeled, has its own planning problems and both free standing and built-ins should be considered. Shoppers often select built-ins instead of free standing units because they think built-ins save space. Actually, she says, this isn't true. A built-in range, for exam ple, requires at least 48 inches of horizontal wall space. And if the proper amount of count er area is included next to the oven, (ifi to 72 Inches is needed for the range installation Many small kitchens would be improved with a 30-inch free standing range which concentrates all the cooking in one area and allows room for work counters and storage units on both sides of the ov en. Some new small ranges are now designed with a built-in look," she reports. New gas and electric ranges with high ovens have been in troduced which rest on a cabi net or hang on a wall. They use about 40 inches of wall space and appear built-in.

For 'Univac' New York - lUPD - In the why didn't someone think of it sooner department A method of installing window shades from the bottom up. The shade is installed at the window sill, and by a pulley device, it rolls up from the bottom of the window. Ad vantages are many: Ligh't can be kept from the room in de sired amounts: the room can be dark with fresh air coming in at the top, eliminating drafts on a child's bed; and more privacy can be obtained without shutting out light and air. Point of View New York - HIM - Mural type scenic papers, especially those depicting a vista such as country-side with meadows. trees and hills, give a small room an illusion of spacious ness. It the scene is too dominant for all four walls, use it on one wall and balance It with subtle textured paper, or a solid colored paper on remain ing walls, suggests the Wall- paper council. J Sentiment has it that everyone wants to be home for Christmas. However, it is not impossible to imagine enjoying a Christmas away from home, and perhaps the Shakespearean actor, Philip Hanson, is doing so this season, although he is far from Ashland, his wife, Suzanne, and other, family members. The actor is in Massachusetts visiting the home town of Herman Melville, the author of "Moby Dick." To Philip Han son, this surely is a stimulating experience for he has based a one man dramatic show on the famous novel, and it is bring ing him considerable approval from audiences in various parts of the country. Hanson, well known to Oregon and San Diego Shake spearean fans for his appearances in the two summer fes tivals, a couple of years ago put together an hour and a half show of Shakespearean material called Kings and Clowns, He presented this for college and high school audiences with such success that he was encouraged to take on the consid erable task of working "Moby Dick" into a full-length mono logue type of program. A few weeks ago the'actor left for New York, where an agent has been at work in his behalf. Shortly he reported that he had signed for a Mid-West tour next fall under th,e sponsorship of Pryor-Menz, which books Hal Holbrook's "Mark Twain Tonight." The Holbrook one-man show has earned good notices from the critics and large audiences, both in Eastern theaters and over television. From New York earlier this month, the actor said he had been through a series of conferences and interviews, had been offered a part in a show planned to open in late winter but was continuing with his "Moby Dick appearances. He presented a performance December 12 at Midtown International Center for foreign students, and then con tinued to New England. In Pittsfield, where Melville wrote his famous novel about the whaling ship, a performance had been arranged by the editor of the Berkshire Eagle, and in New Bedford, an appearance was sponsored by the editor of the Standard Times. How could visiting New Bedford have been anything but exciting to Hanson, for he arrived on the same date, Satur day, December 17, in somewhat the same fashion that Mel ville had written of Ishmael, the narrator of "Moby Dick." This was not missed by the editor of the Standard Times, who, writing of the Oregon actor, repeated the words of the Melville novel. " 'I stuffed a shirt or two into my old carpet bag, tucked it under my arm, and started for Cape Horn and the Pacific. Quitting the gold city of old Manhatto, I duly arrived in New Bedford. It was on a Saturday night in De cember.' The traveler quoted is Ismael, the narrator in Her mean Melville classic 'Moby Dick." " Last Sunday, December 18, Hanson planned to go to the Whaleman's chapel, as described in the novel, and visit the Bourne Whaling museum. From New Bedford he was to visit Edgartown, on Martha's Vineyard, the large island off New Bedford, where he hoped to meet Author Melville's grand daughter, and visit the Historical society headquarters. By December 20 he was to be in Nantucket and planned to remain there through today, Christmas, for it was on Christmas that the Pequod sailed. The actor wrote that he planned to visit the whaling museum in Nantucket, become acquainted with the present whaling industry, and its people, "and cat clam chowder as Melville describes." Tuesday he planned to return to New York to work on his major appearances. Our indoor Christmas tree this year is a bit of man zanita, sprayed white, and hung with tiny Christmas balls of many hues. Our real Christmas tree, a small pine, has already been planted not too far away from our 1959 tree, a redwood, which is flourishing. We read in the Times that in the window of Tiffany's in New York City there has been displayed a Christmas tree ornament which was priced at $8,500. But we're not envious not one bit. The poor New Yorker who bought this fabulous ornament can have tt, and well take the little unadorned pine tree which we can watch as it grows and which we can look at, and enjoy, the year around. O.S. Many who receive a Christ mas cactus plant for the holi day season are unsuccessful in forcing the plant into full bloom the following years. This is more often due to im proper lighting and tempera ture rather than improper wa tering or fertilizing, accord ing to John McLoughlin, coun ty extension agent for horti culture. A Christmas cactus requires rather specific conditions of heat and light for successful blooming, the horticulturist states. This plant forms its buds and blooms during days of short day length. Therefore, if the plant is in a location where it receives artificial light after daylight hours it may never set flower buds, he declares This effect of a long day length on flower formation may be offset to some degree by placing the plant in a loca tion where the day tempera ture is 65 degrees and the night temperature about 55 degrees. The best flower for mation would take place in a location where both the short day length and temperature requirements were present. After danger of frost has passed in the spring the cactus may be placed outdoors in a shaded location where it will be protected from the mid day sun, according to the agent. Protect the pot against invasion of earthworms and other soil pests. Repotting the cactus in the Adult Education Courses Listed; To Begin Soon A number of courses being offered during the winter term of the Medford public school adult education pro gram may be of interest to valley women.
