If you know what qualities to
look for when you select your
Christmas turkey, you’ll be able to
make a wiser choice.
The market class of turkeys is
determined by ages, sex, and ten
derness of meat. The youngest
turkeys are fryers and roasters
and they run from 4 to 6 pounds
in weight. The next class consists
of young hen and young tom
turkeys under eight months of age.
These vary in weight from 6 to
25 pounds. And finally there are the
tom and hen turkeys, which in
clude birds over eight months of
age varying considerable in
weight.
Most of the Christmas turkeys
belong to the young hen or young
tom classification. To be of top
quality, a bird should have a well-
developed moderately broad and
long breast, well fleshed through
its entire length, the flesh carry
ing well, up to the highest part of
the breastbone so that the bone
is not prominent. Also, the legs
should be well covered with flesh.
Fat covering is one of the most
important points in determining
quality from the staflflpoint of ex
cellence of flavor and tenderness.
The carcass should be well covered
with fat over the breast, back hips
and pin bones. In poultry the fat
is deposited in the skin and im
mediately under the skin rather
than dispersed throughout the lean
flesh as it is in some meats.
Select a bird that is free from
pin feathers. Ready to cook or
oven-ready turkeys have no pro
truding pin feathers.

The holly and mistletoe used to
day for Christmas decorations
found their way into early festivi
ties because of certain virtues at
tributed to them by the ancients.
The Druids were the first to use
mistletoe, which they called “Heal-
all.” They believed the plant to
have great curative powers and
gradually assigned to it all manner
of magic powers.
Each year, about the same time
that we now celebrate Christmas,
their priests would have high {fiat-
forma built around the sacred oak
trees, which, in a manner of speak
ing, were “boats” to the mistletoe.
Robed in ceremonial vestments,
the priests ascended these plat
forms, and with golden sickles,
cut away the mistletoe.
The Saxons also prized it and it
was they who gave to it the name
of mistletoe.
Eventually the plant became to
be known as a symbol of peace.
Opposing warriors who met near
it would call a truce, and it was
customary to hang it over entrance
doors so that those who entered
would be assured of friendship.
Today, in both England and
America, holly and mistletoe are
associated with Christmas as in
variably as are the plum pudding
and Christmas tree.

Holiday Candles V 'ill
Brighten Household
The cheerful glow from a candle
makes any Christmas occasion
brighter and candles are inexpen
sive and f”r to make.
Just heat the edges of four cakes
of commercial paraffin with a
warm iron, and form a block. Put
a strong wick between the middle
c^kes before sticking them to
gether.
For r* frothy finish, melt paraffin
with a colored wax crayon and
whip it with an egg beater. Spread
the foamy, colored paraffin on the
square candle and the” stick se
quins and other bright ornaments
on it.
To make round candles, fill small
cans with melted paraffin. Drop in
a weighted string wick when the
paraffin L hard enough to hold it
up.

PERFECT ANGELS . . . Being good Is always easier when ft
gets near to Christmas time and these little ladies, dressed for the
role of angels in a Christmas pageant, are certainly taking their
roles to heart.
Christmas Caroliny
Ja Custom Which
JSeyan Centuries cdyo
I Christman caroling, so much a
part of our present-day observance
of Christmas, Is said to have begun
about the 16th century.
The first real Christmas carol Is
attributed to St Frands of Assisi,
who made a model of the Bethle
hem manger to help him tell his
people the Christmas story,
l Christmas carols were then sup
posedly taken from Italy to Eng
land by the traveling clergy. The
idea of caroling fitted into the Eng
lish conception of Christmas as a
combination of religious celebra
tion and a day of good will, so it
flourished in that country.
Little bands and groups of sing
ers which sprang up in the towns
and villages were called “Waits.”
A natural explanation of the name
seems to be that it refers to watch-
ing waiting, for Christmas Eve
[is fifiUed the Vigil of Christmas.
Save Time in Making
Holiday Plum Pudding
Plum pudding—rich in tradition
and dried fruits but lacking plums
-—is perhaps one of the oldest and
most famous of Christmas dishes.
Most plum puddings require four
to six hours of steaming, but this
time can be cut to about one-third
by steaming the dough in a pres
sure sauce pan. When this method
is used, pressure is omitted during
the first 30 minutes (because the
dough is rising) then 15 pounds oi
pressure and steam are applied
for one-third of the time given in
the recipe.
EARLY FESTIVALS
Prior to the fourth century, the
Christians obrerved only Epiphany
< t he commemoration of the Bap
tism) and Easter with festivals
and religious rights; the physical
birth of Christ not being widely
recognized. In such countries as
Spain and Armenia, the month
prior to Epi. lany was a time ol
fasting and repentance.
PROOF ENOUGH . . . Skep
tical oldsters who would spread
the word there is no Santa
should have a chat with this
Chicago youngster who fairly
beams as he asks old Saint Nick
about the things that will be toh
der his tree come
morning.
May God who gave His love
' In the Christ Child make this Christmas
Joyous, and may His Spirit
Keep you through the coming year.
May the tender memories
Of happy times
With your loved ones
Give joy to your heart.
