Preparation For
Christmas Dinner
(By Frances Ainsworth)
Last Christmas I entertained 36
for dinner . . . and, so many of my
guests commented .on the seeming
ease with which the entire dinner
was prepared, that right then and
there I made a mental note to tell
you about it this year!
Holiday meals are no problem at
all if you work things out ahead
of time. I’ve found that by follow
ing 3 simple steps 1 can enjoy my
holidays and my guests. First . . .
simplify your menu and plan it
well in advance — second, use easy
cooking methods—and third, pre
pare everything you possibly can
the day before. You’ll find that
handy roll of. waxed paper indis
pensable in your pre-holiday plans,
so better note that on your holi
day shopping list. I always clean
celery and carrots the day before,
then wrap them in waxed paper
before putting them in the re
frigerator. My turkey is dressed
and stuffed . . . then carefully
wrapped for cold storage until
roasting time. Cabbage for the
salad is shredded, then wrapped in
waxed paper until the Holiday
morning. Pies can be made the day
before . . . sweet potatoes can be
steamed, chilled, peeled and even
seasoned. I’ve discovered that by a
little work the day before a holi
day, I can persuade my dinner to
almost “cook itself” while I enjoy
my guests!

More Dead In
Palestine Clashes

I JERUSALEM (/P)—Reliable pri
vate sources said today that “large
scale” Arab-Jewish fighting had
broken out this morning at Yazur
—scene of clashes yeste r d a y
which brought to 300 the unoffi
cial count of deaths since the
United Nations decided to part
tion the Holy Land.
The sources said the.fighting to
day broke out when sizeable Jew
ish forces—presumably units of
Hagana— attacked Arab bands in
reprisal for recent Arab attacks on
Jewish truck convoys. Yazur is on
the main highway between Jeru
salem and Tel Aviv.
There were no immediate re
ports on casualties at Yazur, but
j a checkup of scattered disorders
throughout the Holy Land yester
day showed that 10 more persons
had been added to the toll of dead.
people, buy a half turkey—rather
than a whole one. To stuff a half
turkeyt turn the skin side down,
and fill the cavity with your favor
ite stuffing. Place 2 strips of bread
over the stuffing and cover bread
with a double thickness of waxed
! paper. Turn paper side down, and
place in a shallow roasting pan
then proceed as you would for a
whole turkey.
You know, I’m looking forward
to the holiday exictement of
guests, special dinners and enter
tainment. Even the cook has fun
if she plans carefully ahead of
time!
