I would appreciate it so much as I need ideas. Believe me, 1 am S| glad to say that your scientific way of reducing is the only safe way. I know now that if people really mean to reduce, they WILL. Each person is the 'Captain of his own fate.' "I forgot to tell you that I am an old lady of 49 years and that I have been fat all my life, so this reducing seems pretty won- derful to me. It has made a great hit with my husband too. I think the big lug is falling for me all over again, "I have read your column for so long that I seem to feel you are a good friend of mine. Thanks again, for everything." Hearty congratulations to this en- thusiastic reducer. With a change Some Timely Tips For Last - Minute Christmas Rush Lovely and fun to do are the last - minute Christmas decora- tions. At our house, evergreen balls are popular, and we all take a hand in the making of them. Some of us use a handful of moist moss tied up with florist's twine. Oth- ers prefer a roundish tato in which holes have been drilled with a nail. Short pieces of greens are cut, and the ends stripped of needles and bits of twig. These are then pointed or cut obliquely with shears so ihey may be easily inserted into the holes. Hardstem greens are best, such as holly, spruce, yew, pine or boxwood. SUSPEND ON A WIRE The ball is easiest to handle if it is suspended on a wire which has been inserted through the ball and hooked at one end to hold it in place. A red, green, silver or gold ribbon is tied to the hooked end, and berried twigs are inserted among the greens, with accent on mistletoe, of course! At one house we know they bring in little boxwood shrubs from ter- race or front porch and give them a temporary home in pretty con- tainers. The shrub's branches are tied with red and silver wrapping ribbons and small flowers tucked in here and there. PRETTY WREATHS Some of the prettiest wreaths we have done have been those com- posed of all the odds and ends of Christmas. Such things as pine, gilded or silvered grape leaves, gilded and plain cones, gold or silver balls, artificial green sprays are all wired together in three di- mensional designs and suspended velvet, A Della Robbia swag is always in her routine she was able to start reducing and is carrying on Wisely she is concentrating on mainly and varied.

MOSS AND HOLLY For a more elaborate wreath, one friend goes all out using a moss base into which she sticks sprigs of Japanese holly. Then she adds fruit and bands of blue { ribbon, the fruit glossed over with | a preservative coat of shellac and secured in place with spikes. Some of us prefer a spray to a [wreath for the front door.

Let's Talk Turkey, Hot And Succulent With Christmas drawing closer, already we seem to be able to sniff the lovely smells shortly to be ris- ing from Oshawa ovens. Here is some advice on how to handle the majestic bird which will glorify most dining tables that day. Roast the turkey at a low tem- perature of 325 deg. F. in an open, shallow pan and do not add water. Baste occasionally or cover bird with a double thickness of cheese- cloth dipped in melted fat, or cover loosely with aluminum foil, tucking it in ligntly at the breast and tail, leaving it loose elsewhere, THEN, 'When the turkey is 'done', allow the bird to "rest" in a warm place 20 to 30 minutes before serv- ing: this allows juices in the meat to be redistributed and makes carving easier. | To know when pouliry is done, press the thick muscle of the drum stick: it will be soft when the meat is cooked. Or if the leg moves readily and gives at the joint, the bird is then done, Words of Advice: Do not partially cook a large turkey one day and finish it the next. Harmful bacteria may grow during the cooling down and warm- ing up periods, since the internal temperature reached in a partial cooking would not be high enough to destroy any bacteria which might be present in the dressing ingredients. Don't stuff poultry one day and roast it the next: even though it is refrigerated in the meantime. Pre- pare the dry ingredients in ad- vance; get the poultry ready for stuffing and refrigerate it; then complete making the dressing the next day and stuff the bird just | Since baker's bread stays fresh nowadays, bread should be 3-4 days old if fine fluffy crumbs are desir- TORONTO (CP)--Biggest prob- lem for eight women members of | | the Toronto Symphony Orchestra | is to find black dresses, subdued | but still attractive, for public con certs "Dresses can't be devorated with jewelry and must not be strap. less," said violinist Stephanie Cho- | to matronly numbers."

In er lifetime the average home- maker is said to wash 2,500,000 cooking and eating utensisl about 70 stacks as high as the Empire State building. Yet only thred percent of Ameri- can homes have electric dish- washers today, while practically every home has some type of elec- tric clothes washer. Officials predict that the next ten Joats wil go down in history as the decade' in which His <£hanged its dishwashing habits, (They point out that electric dish- washers of one form or another have been on sale in this country since 1913, but that recent develop- ments now make a dishwasher boom possible. The demand has been for a unit that will get pots and pans really clean, take age yolk off plates, and remove lipst from glasses. Engineers have just designed an automatic dishwasher with a revo- lutionary new washing PHsciple. It has a whirling horizontal spray tube which turns at the rate of 500 revolutions a minute, deliver- ing jets of hot water directly to the surfaces of all pieces being washed. The needle sprays of wa- ter have a pressure of four pounds per square inch and the loading arrangement is such that no ar- ticles can escape this washing ac- ion _ A recent study at Ohio State Un- iversity revealed that homemak- ers spend an average of 73.2 min- utes a day in the overall dish- washing process, including all ac- tivities from clearing the table through wiping off range and work counters. It was found that use of an automatic dishwasher reduced this time by approximately one- half -- a saving of about 27 eight- hour days a year. RETIRES STANDING UP GUELPH, Ont.
