| WOULD like to announce to
all my pessimistic friends
who have, been afraid that
“poor Tittle Ken” wuoldn’t,
have a Christmas stocking—
even though his name does
only have three letters—that
it is all finished. It even has
a star, a sleigh ahd a snowman
on it besides K-E-N.
So there—I did finish it be-
fore next Christmas and Ken
can get lots of goodies from
Santa because it’s plenty big
for lots of goodies!
|^ATHY thought Santa might
enjoy a little levity since
he’s working so hard these
days, $o she -included this joke
in her letter to him:
Q. Why didn’t Comet get to
make khe trip laet Ghnwt merit—
A. He had to stay home and
clean the sink!
<1 heard that groan!)
\^yE HAD a small fire at our
house this week that in-
votved a candle wt* thought was
out in our manger scene. We
got' to it just before it got
really bad, but that’s a frighten-
ing way to be reminded how
quickly a lire could ruin your
Christmas—or far worse.
So just let me remind you to
check and double check every-
thing so' your Christmas can be
safe and happy.

MISS JEA>N KUBIAK
|F YOU’VE got a duck or a
goose in your freezer (or
some pf you hunter’s wives
may have several) that you
haven’t decided how to prepare,
you might want to try this
cooking tip from Sidney Glimp.
It sounds like it couldnit be
easier and. she says her lamiily
just loved it. '
Take your fowl and stuff it
with—a cstt uf saueikiaut——f
says a goose' takes th’e large
size can. Then you juet foast
as usual. .
She says it helps to moisten
the bird ahd that the sauer-
kraut takes on a delicious
flavor from the juice of ihe
bird. She says it doesn’t even i
taste like sauerkraut—which |
appealed to me
0RACE HORD has a problem !
She has been trying to
duplicate a recipe that her
grandmother made years ago.
It is "for an old-fashioned ten
cake—a large cake-like sugar |
cookie that was iced—but the
recipe was "not handed dc/wn
in the family for some reason.
If you’re from Tennessee or
just happen to have such a re-
cipe in your files, give Grace
or me a ring—K>he’s trying so
hard!
it's the same thing! How will
we ever wait uniil Christmas
Eve! Remember how long it
seemed when you were only
four year^ old?
The daily capacity of Pana-
ma Canal is about 36 ships.
I '
\^/E HAD a hard time con-
vincing Kyle that' Santa
wasn’t coming to our house toe
night we put our tree up. He
still didn’t believe it when he
went tobed and .everynight
