Holiday preparations

By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Holiday preparations begin early in many homes and part of that early preparation includes the holiday baking. Early baking helps to avoid , that last minute rush. But once you have baked all those goodies for giving and family enjoyment, they should be stored properly to maintain their great tastes and good looks. Baked goods must be stored properly to keep them fresh and appealing. Wrap yeast and quick breads in foil, plastic wrap or plastic bags and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid refrigerating yeast breads as they dry out and become stale more quickly. For longer storage, more than a few days, wrap unfrosted breads in moisture-vapor-proof wrap and freeze at zero degrees. Be sure to eliminate as much air as possible when packaging. For pies, refrigerate those with fillings containing eggs, dairy products or gelatin. Fruit pies can be stored at room temperature for a short time. Match the proper storage with the right cookie. First, separate crisp and soft varieties and store them separately. Otherwise they will become limp. Soft’ cookies and those with moist fillings should be stored in loosely covered containers. Most other varieties can be stored in containers with tight-fitting lids. For longer storage, freeze cookies in freezer packaging up to 12 months. Cakes are popular holiday

Bethel Women plan work night, hold yule party

The December meeting of the Bethel Women’s Fellowship was held in the church social room on December 13. During the business meeting, conducted by President Connie Smith, the group decided to make bibs for the patients at Timbercrest Nursing Home, along with knotting comforters at the January work night. A poem, “Just two weeks till Christmas” was read by Mrs. Smith, after which Sue Price read the story of how the carol, “O Little Town of Bethlehem” came to be written. She then read “To Bethlehem with Love,” writen by Nathaniel Olson while on a tour there. Her reading was interspersed by the group singing of different verses of the carol. “The real Christmas” by Pat Boone was also read.

foods that are easily stored. Refrigerate cheesecakes and cakes with cream fillings or frostings that contain egg white. Cakes can be kept moist by storing them in plastic cake carriers or by covering them with a large bowl. Wrap fruitcakes in cloths dipped in brandy or fruit juice to keep them from drying out. Metal containers are good for fruitcake storage, also. Candy is easily stored. Hard candies such as lollipops, need only be covered in clear plastic wrap and kept in a cool place for up to a month. All other candies, fudge, brittles and divinity should be covered and kept in a cool place up to 2 weeks. If you’ll be sending foods to far away friends, select foods that won’t spoil or crumble easily. Also, avoid foods in glass containers, yeast breads which become stale quickly, foods that require refrigeration or freezing and heavily frosted baked goods. Drop and bar cookies travel better than the crispy type. When packaging drop cookies, wrap two together, back to back in plastic or foil wrap. Bar cookies can be cut and wrapped individually or left in one large piece to cut later. Moist breads and cakes that have lots of fruit travel well. To pack foods, place heavier items on a layer of shredded paper on the bottom of the container. Marshmallows or popcorn can be used as packing if all the foods are tightly wrapped. Then wrap the package and mark it “PERISHABLE-FOOD.”

Mrs. Ray Jones each read a short Christmas story. This was followed by a gift exchange. The club also voted to give its annual Christmas gift to the EMS. Hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Blue, Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Kloepfer. The next meeting will be on January 9 in the social room of Saint Andrew’s United Methodist Church.

Mrs. Smith gave a reading by Peter Marshall, after which she led the group in singing carols, accompanied on the piano by Terri Fryrfian. Several ladies in the group shared Christmas readings. Betty Smith read, “The Christ who Came Long Years ago,” Betty Bultemeier read, “One Solitary Life,” and Mary Kesler read a prayer, “Create in Me a Miracle.” Mrs. Smith gave a humorous reading by Erma Bombeck on her version of what Christmas can be like. A gift exchange was held with each member having taken a homemade gift. Refreshments in keeping with the season were served by Annie Replogle and Missy Sorenson.

Webster 4th graders write to Khomeini

The fourth grade students in the North Webster class taught by John Cowens thoroughly enjoyed three 20 minute discussion sessions of world news each week. Upon hearing from the media about Americans writing to various Iranian officials in hopes to free the American hostages in Iran, the students insisted to write to the Iranian leader. Ayatullah Khomeini. The purpose of the letters is to convince the Iranian leader to release the Americans unharmed. Each day after school the students in Cowens class read newspapers and watch the television news to inquire about the present situation of our fellow Americans held in Iran. Below are a few letters which were sent to the Iranian Mission to the U. N. in hopes that the leader, Mr. Kohomeini, will read and be convinced that the people of the United States firmly support the president and stand greatly united. Dear Ayatullah Khomeini: My name is Frank Parker. Would you please free the hostages before Christmas? I would really fell a lot better if you would and so would our government. The Shah of Iran is no longer in the United States He is in Panama. — Frank Parker Dear Ayatullah Khomeini: Thousands of people want the hostages back before Christmas. People all over the world want the hostages returned to the United States of America. The Shah is in Panama. — Mark Rich Dear Iranian Mission to the United Nations: Gentlemen, I am asking you very nicely, but firmly, to release the hostages before our important celebration known as Christmas. The date for Christmas is December 25, the year is unimportant. The Shah is not in our country, but is in Panama, where the Panama Canal is. This is not, I repeat, this is not a diversion. It is the truth, and I do want the hostages back in the U.S. of A. — Russ Rhodes Dear Ayatullah Khomeini: Would you please release our hostages? Maybe how we celebrate Christmas here is not anything to you, but it is to us and most of the hostages. I really don’t know what your thinking, but we want the hostages back in America! Oh, the Shah is no longer in America. He’s now

staying in Panama. — Teresa Maurer Dear Khomeini: Will you please send our hostages home so they can celebrate Christmas? We back our Government 100 per cent If you give us our people we may be friends again. — Todd Shepherd Dear Khomeini: Us Americans want you to let the hostages go. We need them real bad and we will not bother you again or unless you bother us. Well I got to be goin’! See you later. — Rodney James Crittendon Dear Iranian Mission: Would you please release our American hostages? We would be very thankful to you. My name is Tammy Angel. I have read a lot about you and seen you. I have heard that you have a different belief than us. But I don’t care. We would enjoy our Christmas better if our people were here with us. It would be nice. But please think about letting our hostages go. The Shah is no longer in America. So I do ask you let our hostages go. — Tammy Angel Dear Khomeini: I would like you to let the hostages go before Christmas. I know that there is no such thing as Christmas jn Iran but here it is a time where we give love to each other. And if you did not know, the Shah is in Panama. — Mark Lenfesty Dear Iranian Mission to the U. N.: Hello. My name is Traci Shoemaker. I have heard a lot about you. And I do sincerely ask that you would release the hostages. We would like if you would release them before our Christmas celebration. We would be very thankful if we could celebrate our Christmas with them. The Shah is no longer in the United States. He is in Panama. (This is not a lie.) And I thank you very much. — Traci Shoemaker Dear Ayatullah Khomeini: Will you please let the hostages go? Remember, if you shoot or kill one of the hostages, you may have to go to prison. Now you wouldn’t want that now would you? So think it over and read my letter please. Listen here, we don’t have the Shah. He’s in Panama. I’m not begging but please let the hostages go. Besides, don’t make the Government mad! — Mike Fishbaugh Dear Ayatullah Khomeini: Please send the hostages back
