I will be interesting to most people to learn what may well be termed a special Canadian Christmas menu is growing in popularity for Christmas fare on this continent and even be- ‘yond. Of course. turkey is now looked upon Canadian enough, the Western turkeys being made famous by Lap’s 'I‘lmmins Charity Turkey Stag, and the Manitoulin Island turkeys also having some celebrity. But even more typi- cally Canadian than turkey “and stead of .richer and heavier rare; it would be at least some consolation to know that the romantic penguin had been laid under contribution to provide the fungal meal. The Canadian Government is trying out the possibilities of raising these useful beasts in the “Barren Lands" in the northern parts of the Dominion. a region or 1,500 square miles in ex- tent, between the Mackenzie River and the Arctic Ocean having been set aside fOr this purpose. The land here issaid to be ideal for reindeer raising. Americans, however, don’t claim the credit of having discovered reindeer meat as a delicacy. The Scandina- vians knew all about its good qualities hundreds of years ago. One dish of which they were especially fond of was Surely steak from Santa Claus’ steeds would add a picturesque and very ap- propriate touch to the Christmas board. These steaks, moldentally. are real delicacies. They are very sweet and tender and epicures who have been the first to sample theni are enthusiastic about their virtues. ' The story of how reindeer farming has developed is one of the big modern romances. About thirty years ago the United States bought 1,200 reindeer and had them transported from their. home in Siberia to Alaska.

As they will tell you, they believe in keeping up the ancient traditions by eating the good old Yuletide fare on December, says The Mail and Emipre, the writer con- Really, they are doing nothing or the kind. Both turkey and plum pud- ding are modern innovations. and the traditional English Christmas dinner consisted of boat's head and peacock, supported by geese, eapons, pheasants. pies of camp's tongues and frumenty, ' a dish of which wheat was the basis. 86 our Christmas bill of fare has changed.

The man that would deny the actual ma- terial and, more important, spirit of Christmas, has neither eyes to see nor ears to hear. Every Christmas there is that Christmas spirit of kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness for others. It is coincident with the yearly visit of Santa Claus. “If there is no Santa Claus, there is no Christmas, no no- thing!” one youngster aptly said. “But soon or late, we see with clear vision that Santa.
