Buying And Sending Holiday Greetings

LAFAYETTE — Christmas is a time for renewing old acquaintances and friendships — neglected since you’ve moved to a new 1 job, a new neighborhood or a new state. Holiday greeting cards are a good way to maintain ties with relatives and friends. However, eight cents postage for every card mailed may require a major revision in your card list this year, points out Dr. Jan Armstrong. Extension consumer marketing specialist at Purdue university. Take time to note to whom and why you send cards. It may be — —to keep in touch with relatives far away. —to keep up to date on what old friends and their children are doing. —to remember the lonely and the oldsters to whom a card is most important. —to thank people for past services and favors (mail man, newspaper boy, lawn boy. etc.) However, there may well be some names that could be eliminated from the list. How about those persons you’ve not heard from in two or three years? How about those you see each day or often at home. work, church or in other community activities? Why not personally wish them a joyous holiday? Since it is easy to spend considerable money for these greetings, you may want to determine how much the budget can afford, then figure what the potential cost would be if you sent to everyone on your current list. For example: A box of 50 cards at three dollars is a cost of six cents a card. Add to that eight cents for postage. The total cost per card mailed is. 14 cents. If you

send 50 cards at 14 cents a piece, the total cost would be $7. Sending 100 cards at 14 cents per card would cost sl4. Now the big question — is it worth it? While maintaining your card list might be expensive, you may decide that the good will and public relations are worth the cost, notes Miss Armstrong. Holiday traditions can greatly enrich your family's life, but review them periodically to see if they reflect for you the significance of the season, encourages the Extension human development specialist at Purdue university. Nuts For The Holidays LAFAYETTE - During the holidays we seem to go nuts about nuts. We use them in breads, desserts and as snacks for our many friends who drop in during this festive season. However, nuts can also be used in main dishes, vegetables, salads, soups and sandwiches, points out Dr. Sandra Schlicker, Extension foods and nutrition specialist at Purdue university. Even though nuts have a high fat content, most common ones also contain 10 to 25 per cent protein. Therefore, nuts can be an added source of protein in meals. Peanuts are highest in protein with about 25 per cent, while coconuts and chestnuts contain very little. Many kinds of nuts are available, so buy the most convenient or economical form of nutmeats for your purpose. Whole nuts make attractive snacks. Broken pieces, which are often less expensive and take less preparation, may be used in any food where the appearance of nuts is unimportant. Slivered or sliced nuts save time and work in preparing garnishes and other foods. Ground nuts give nut flavor without the crunch. Shredded or thread-type coconut makes an attractive garnish for food. Flaked coconut is usually preferred for pies and cakes because it is easier to cut and serve. Moist coconut may be desirable to use in foods that are

somewhat dry. When buying, choose clean nuts that are free from splits, cracks, stains or holes. Do not buy moldy nuts — they may not be safe to eat. To maintain best eating quality, most nuts need protection from air and high temperatures. These may cause the fat in nuts to become rancid. Nuts in the shell retain high quality longer than shelled nuts. Whole nuts become rancid less quickly than nuts in pieces. Nuts in the shell will keep for a long time if kept in a cod, dry place. Shelled nuts will keep fresh for several months stored in tightly closed containers in the $ refrigerator. Nuts in cans can be kept longer if refrigerated or frozen, says Miss Schlicker. All nuts can be frozen in tightly covered freezer containers. Because nuts don’t stick together when frozen, you can measure out certain quantities as you need them. Repeated brief thawing and refreezing is not harmful; but nuts frozen and then stored at room temperature become rancid very quickly. Chestnuts should not be refrozen unless cooked between freezing periods. Purchase Christmas Tree Early LAFAYETTE - An early purchase is the best approach to selecting an attractive, safe Christmas tree. Freshness and good form are the two characteristics most people desire in their tree, says E. J. Lott, Purdue university extension forester. The early shopper has the better choice. Common types of Christmas trees are Scotch pine, white pine, red pine, spruce and fir. Pines hold their needles well and come in a variety of needle lengths. Longest is red pine with needles four to six inches. The favorite species — Scotch pine — has needles varying from one and

one-half to four inches. White pine has flexible needles varying from three inches to five indies. Spruces, with needles generally less than one inch in length, do not hold their needles for more than four to five days indoors, notes Lott. The firs are also short-needles and rarely as dense in form as the pines or spruces. Freshness is the most important characteristic to look for, says the forester. Check the needles for pliability. If they are brittle or fall off easily, do not buy the tree. Another test is to lift the tree, then firmly strike the butt of the trunk on the ground. If several green needles drop, the tree is not very fresh. A freshly cut pine tree has as much fire resistance as any chemically treated tree known at this time, adds Lott. In fact, a freshly cut pine is difficult to ignite. If properly handled, such a tree will insure a safe Christmas. Best policy is to buy early and keep the butt of the tree in water outdoors. Before taking it inside, trim an inch off the butt. Then keep the trunk in water in the home, replenishing the water as needed. Some pines have a tendency to yellow a bit in the field, but this is not indicative of dryness, says Lott. It’s a natural process. Brittle needles and a deep brown color are best indicators of dryness. Growers of quality trees in Indiana shape their trees during the summer to provide symmetry and good density, the forester says. While shape and density are matters of personal preference, the early shopper does have a wider choice. For best possible selection, buy a tree with the red and green tag, used by members of the National and State Christmas Tree Growers’ Association. The tag identifies the tree as plantation grown and also tells how such trees contribute to our environment, as well as our Christmas tradition.
