When Cardinal Verdier, Arch- bishop of Paris, led a pilgrimaze oy. 8,000 Parisians. to Chartres ° few weeks ago it was complainad that many of the pilgrims were unable to hear him. Christmas Fare in England The tendency in England 'to- day when preparing for Christ- mag Festivities is to introduce something fresh, something a little different, inte the various meals between Christmas Eve and Twelfth Night, and this new note is frequently achieved by a revival of some anelent dish or custom, The simplest English Christ- mas dinner consists of: Roast Beal, Pork or Turkey, Christmas Pudding, Mince Pies, Stilton Cheese, Dessert and Wine, with all the accompaniments that that come within the range of the family purse, Fifty years ago, and more, dinner in a well-to-do family would begin with Palestine soup. or clear pheasant or hare soup; then cod, which is {n its prime at Christmas would he served boiled, accompanied by plenty of cod's liver and oyster sauce, whilst as a contrast there mizht be a dish of fried smelts, or these would be used as a garnish. It is very old English custom to serve In one dish boiled meat or fish garnished with the same meat, ete., fried, later they were separated and severed in separate dishes, as roast turkey in one dish and poiled ham or pigs cheek or *chap." (Bath chaps for example). In eur time we have a gurvival of both of these customs in boiled chicken smoth- ered with white sauce garnished with 'fried bacon; and roast fowl in one dish, and a piece of holed pickled pork in another, The turkey wag and gti!) sometimes stuffed with oysters, boiled and served with a good white sauce, celery or oyster sauce and over it and in the dish: slices of lemon being the proper garnish. With this boiled ham, tongue, cheek of bacon of pickled pork should be served, and. don't forget the mustard; sweet pickled or spiced bharberries would be served separately in a glass dish, Roast turkey stuffed with oysters and sent in with mushroom sauce served separate ly in a very English dish, Eng- land being famous for both oys- ters and mushrooms; but turkey with bread stuffed with veal or chestnut stuffing and garlanded with chaing of fried sausage, Is more usual. A bird thus drese- ed is knewn facetiously as "an alderman in chains." For sauge plenty of good gravy in a boat, and either ar or oyster sauce in a tureen. Roast goose, another Christ- is mas dish, has a sage apd onion stuffing blended sometimes with 'mashed potatoes instead of bread crumbs, . For sweets we have Mince pies, which are mueh eider than plum puddipg.. It is into this course that variations ereep. First, there is the shape of tne mince-pie, which should be tra- ditionally oval to represent the Manger in which the Child Jesus was laid. Then the sauce tor the plum pudding may be varied. There is the old custom of serv- ing the Plum Pudding 'which should be round and therefore boiled in a cloth) on a Sheriield Plate of pewter dish s) that the randy may be poured in the dish and set alight, Failing the metal dish, a cup is sometimes cut in the top of the pudding, filled with brandy and sct alight at the last minute. In this case the sprigs of holly are made in- to a wreath and placed on the table cloth instead of one sprig being stuck in the middle. Sometimes Rum Batter, which is the original of the American Hard Sauce is served, or a very favorite modern note is struck by using Whipt or Solid Cylla- hub piled around the pudding. This last is a most up-to-date re- vival, Other traditional sweets are: --orange jelly made with real orange sauce; apple pie or Flor- entine made in a large pewter dish; when baked the top crust is lifted off just before serving and hot spiced ale---piping hot-- poured in, The piecrust which meantime has been quickly cut { ally be flpished with | syllabub, { pudding (this time Victorian) is into wedges is replaced and the pie sent in, Trifle is another favorite apd it should tradition- whipped Another traditional Iced Pudding with chestnuts, To top up there is the lordly Stilton Cheese; or its relation, delicately flavored creamy pot: generally made | ted Stilton such as has been serv- | ed for aver a year at Simpson's | in the Strand with West Riding Oatcakes or Riddle Bread. It is a very old custom still observed by many to send round some stewed or roasted cheese, hot "lamb's wool," In roasted crab apples float, accom- panied by racks of dry toast. The right thing to do being 1c dip a piece of toast into the hot spiced ale and eat it with the cheese and roasted crab apple. For dessert there must 'ruit paste of all kinds, cut inic different shapes, twisted into | true lovers' knots and crystalliz. | ed, Delicious home-made pre- serves, peaches in brandy, pre- served ginger, other fruit pre- served "wet" and dried (erystal- lized), and dessert would not ba | complete without a Christmas Cake. Nuts, almonds and rais- | ins, oranges, apples and grapes, {are matters of course as dessert | at Christmas, After dessert | comes coffee and some special ! home-made liquers, such as sloe ; 5, peach brandy, or tangerine gin. MUNICIPALITIES accompanied by a bowl of boiling [ which ! be | WAY SEEK REBATE | ON POWER BILLS (Continued from page 1) was an accumulated surplus of $25, 892. In that year there were added to it in the way of interest and sur- plus from power $7,434.32, making a total surplus on thay date of $33,- 326.39. In the same period, the pro- vincial body also set up renewal re- scrves of $4,217, obsolence and con- tingency funds of $2,108, interest charges of $4,970 a.d sinking fund reserves of $1,139, making a total of $12,436 set aside, of which $6,326 were purely reserves. Of all the rural power districts in the Eastern Ontario Systém, the Oshawa district has by far the larg- est accumulated surplus, the nearest approach being that of the Belleville district, which amounts to a little over $18,000 as compared with Osh- awa's $33,000, While the final figures are npt yet available, it is known that the receipts of the Oshawa Power Dis- trict for the year ending October 32, 1932, were $54,027, practically the samc as in the previous year, So it is not all unlikely that when the figures are compiled, the sur- plus will equal or exceed $40,000. So, on a capital investment of $114,- 28, the H.E.P.C, has created a sur- plus of $40,000, or from 30 to 35 percent, which is an abnormal sur- plus. Few if any, systems can show that position, At this time of vexed rural prob- lems, according to Mr, Conant, who has placed the sit. tion before the municipalities, it would be a great boon to the farmers to secure a re- bate or even a decrease in rates, and there is little justification for keeping rates at the present level just to store up a huge surplus. In presenting these figures to the municipalities, Mr. Conang says, "I will be glad to be of any service in co. ilation of further figures, the preparation of the matter for pres- entation and the presentation of an application, and without compen- sation from or any obligation on the part of any of the iunicipalities, If your municipality is interested in this matter and would care to meet the representatives of the other mupicipalitics, may I suggest that you appoint 1epresentatives of your municipality to meet with the rep- resentatives of +» other municipal- ities," May I also further suggest that I will be glad to meet the representatives of all the municipal- ities involved in this matter at my office on Wednesday evening, De- cember 21, 'if they so desire." Included in the Oshawa Rural Power District to which Mr, Conant has references are the communities of Harmony, Courtice, Columbus, Brooklin, Myrtle, Myrtle Station, Ashburn, Audley and Pickering vil- lage, Raglan (Miss Allie Avery, dent) RAGLAN, Dec. 14, Mrs. Maye and Miss Muriel Maye, of Goodwood, recently spent a few days with the former's daughter, Mrs, A, J, Pilkey and Mr. Pilkey.
