juices.
To prepare cranberry juice,
make a thin, rather tart sauce
| and press it through a coarse
sieve."A thrifty trick for today is !
to be sure that all juice and most j
! of pulp is pressed through a
I strainer or colander. The juice
may not be so clear but it wil
have more bulk, vitamins and
minerals.
To save waste and for best
j flavor and texture use this re
cipe for cranberry sauce: Wash
| and pick over a pound (about
four cups) of berries. Add a cup j
of water. Cook covered, over low J
heat until berries are soft (skins !
have burst). Mash well and ad* ;
2 cups sugar. Stir until sugar has
dissolved. Boil gently five min

rinsed out of eoul water and
chill until firm.

Eskimo Life

it when you're I- id that Eski

whales, tracking a wn polar

a walrus hunt. The 194-3 version
of the Eskimo living in tfiis area
lives and thinks a lot like your
next-door neighbor.
I was disillusioned by an Eski
mo soldier Pvt. Fred Goodhope,
29, one of my companions during
a flight to Nome on an Ajmy
transport plane. I considered my
self a veteran flier this was my i
second trip by air), and thought
a trip in an Army plane must be j
ijuite an experience for an Eskirm \
who probably hao done most of
his traveling on snowshoes or be
hind a dog team.
"How do you like traveling by
air?” I asked him.
“Oh, it’s all right.” he replied,
looking rather bored. “But 1 ddd
much more flying before 3 was
in the Army. You see, that’s the
way we get around up here.”

shining tree, the cold outdoors
and the cozy warmth within,
the kitchen fragrance of goo*! food,
the fond thoughts of those far away,
all these take on a new, more precious,
clearer significance. For they symbolize
not onlv Christmas Day, but the
freedom, the homes, the way of life
for which this nation is fighting
and working.
May your Christmas Day be a
