Christmas Eve

Shrouded in it's cloak of snow,
The world is sleeping.
Down the chimney, with his pack,
Santa's creeping.
Christmas chimes are softly echoing
Through the night.
The silent earth the moon has bath
In mellow light.
Like candles lit in Heavens win
dows
Stars are glowing
Stockings hanging from the mantle
Are oe'r-flowing
Happy Children snuggle warmly
In their beds,
Dreaming Of tomorrow's treats
Stored ahead.
Angles sing to God on high
AS of yore
peace on earth good will to men
Forevermore."

Christmas

Christmas is celebrated almost
universally throughout the Christ
ian world. Before the Christian era,
December 25 was the first day r
the great winter festivals of thu
pagan Gauls, Germans and Britons.
The yulelog, holly, mistletoe anG
wassail bowl are all relics of pagan
Cbservances. We can thank the
Dutch for Santa Claus or San
Nicholas the patron saint of the
cnildren-as pronounced in Dutch.
Children in America and England
hang up their stockings in row
before the fireplace and Santa Claus,
with his reindeer comes down from;
the north and through the chimney
to fill the stockings. In Baltic lands
it is taught that the Christ Child
himself brings the gifts. In France
the children place wooden shoes on
the hearth to receive from "Bonhom-
me Nal" Gather Christmas).
Toys are hidden away in unex-
pected places for the children of
Norway to find. In Italy, drawing
parcels from the urn of Fate" be-
comes exciting, because some of
them are blanks. However, in the
and there a~e presents for all.

Because meat flavor has so much
appetite appeal, every cook is in
terested in making the most of 1t.
Many sauces, stuffings, cereals, and
vegetables will carry the taste of
meat and thus make successful and
inexpensive flaVor-stretchers.
The Coolidge examiner., 1936-12-24

When you have leftover cooked
meat, sauces are good "strectchers. p"
Diced or chopped cooked meat com
bines we'll with such familiar and
inexpensive sauces as gravy, white
or brown sauce, and tomato sauce.
For meat with decided flavor, like
ham or dried beef, white sauce is
a good stretcher. For meat that
lacks flavor, gravy or tomato sauce
might be used For extra seasoning
III these sauces, there are fiayorful
vegetables like chopped onion or
green pepper, minced parsley Or
celery leaves.
Other vegetables that combines
we'll with meat are carrots, turIips,
okra, beans of all kinds, green peas,
mushrooms, and potatoes. Often
you can develop extra flavor in
meat and vegetable mixture by first
browning the ingredients in fat.
Meat Drowned in fat makes a richer,
more favored stew, pot roast, meat
PIE or hash. The same is true of
such seasoning vegetables as onions,
celery, carrots, and green pepper.
Browning in fat will add flavor even
to the bread crumbs used in meat
stuffing.
Bread-crumb stuffing makes a
good stretcher for many ineX-
pensive cuts of meat. Shoulder
roasts of veal and lamb are more
convenient to carve and go farther
if stuffing replaces the bone. A
flank steak Will make a good main
80 i1Y nc family if it is stuffed
and braised. Small pieces Of veal
stuffed and braised make delicious
and inexpensive veal birds"
When one has a small quantity of
meat to use, rice, hOminy, or whole
wheat, or cereal foods like spaghetti,
noodles, or macaroni will help out.
They may be combined either with
chopped meat for hash or with meat
and gravy.

Salvation Army
Develops Xmas
Plans for Needy

Christmas work is occupying the
Salvation Army, according to Jan
Hoogstad. officer in charge for the
Ell Centre corps.
The plans for this year include
dinner for single men; a tree
with Santa Claus, toys, candy ana
nuts on Christmas night, and bas-
kets for those who have been help
ed in the past few months. The
names on the basket list include
the families of two prisoners at
San Quentin who were reached
through the Army's prison workers.
Christmas work does not cause
cessation of the regular work,
which, said Hoogstad, is eXcep-
tionally heavy at this time. The
mems shelter is filled to capacity
each night and bread and milk
are distributed to many local fam
lilies. The sudden end of the pea
harvest has sent many families
as we'll as men to the local head
quarters for help. 1t is impossible
to keep anyone more than one
night, except when the SRA or
other agency is seeking to estab-
lish residence for the purpose of
returning transients to their home
state or when the applicant has
verified order for employment.
Any other course would fill the
town with unemployed who would
take the capacity of this, as well
as all other relief agencies, declar-
ed Hoogstad.
