*7i«dMo» 0$ fydt -4.0$ fa Ifaf 0$ pMt An old and honored Christmas tradition—the Yule log—has & moot vanished from our holiday celebration. Logs and fireplaces are not as common as they were once, but the tradition of the Yule log was carried on in England for centuries. It was introduced into Great Britain by the Vikings who burned it to honor the God Thor. The custom was adopted by the English as part of the Christmas festivities. With great pomp and ceremony, the very best log that could be found was brought Into the house and placed in the great fireplace. The fire was lit and the servants of the house gathered with the master and there was much singing and celebrating the coming of the Christmas holiday. According to the custom of those days the holiday season lasted twelve full days and the log burned during the entire time. At the end of the holiday, any fragments of the log that remained were carefully collected to be used again the following year to kindle the new Yule log. Celebrating today does not last for twelve days, but the superstition that all decorations should be removed by the twelfth night to prevent bad luck in the New Year atm survives. Flowing Bulbs Offer Variety In Yule Decorations You can easily force spring flowering bulbs to get continuous bloom throughout the holiday season and late winter. Narcissi, hyacinths, tulips and crocuses can be potted for flowering. Use only bulbs of best quality. Set them in shallow pots containing soil with good water-holding capacity and drainage. A satisfactory soil mixture is three parts good garden loam, one part organic matter and two parts sand. Fill the pot with soil to one-half inch below the rim, leaving the tips of bulbs barely exposed. Plant hyacinths and narcissi as close together as you can. For tulips, plant five or six bulbs in a fiveinch pot. Place the pots tn a cool place at 40-50 degrees. The soil must bo moist while in storage. When the roots are well developed, bring the pots into a warm room for forcing) The plants grow best in full sun and in moderately moist soil When the plants are in full bloom, remove them from the sun to a bright location.. The flowers will last longer if you keep them in • fairly cool place.

> Close up vent, place the goose on ' a rack and bake at 4fio degrees for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees and roast for another 1 or 1H hours or until the breast is tender and the skin crisp. Basting is not altogether necessary.
