Consider the wall coverings available today -- paper, vinyl, big lam­ inated panel boards and peg- board. A bright vinyl between splashboard and cupboard will enliven an all-white kitchen. Or use a patterned paper on one wall. Remember to install a color-coordinated towel holder, strategically placed, to assure you'll have those in­ dispensable ScotTowels at your fingertips. Have you ever tried placing a towel holder and paper towels in the bathroom? They're so practical . . . pretty and colorful, too, especially with the array of colors and de­ signs available. In a child's bath, you can do wonders with paper charts or transfers of animals, birds, horses, etc. Use these hang-up ideas imaginatively, and you won't have any hang-ups about the look of your bathroom or kitchen in the New Year. Although Oscar Tachir&y is hardly a household word, there are few Americans who have not enjoyed his inven­ tion. It was he who created the first Waldorf Salad, named in honor of New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel where he was the maitre d'hotel from 1893 to 1943. As good food ideas usually do, news of the recipe spread. And soon chefs and home- makers throughout the coun­ try were preparing the crisp, crunchy combination of ap­ ples, cplery and mayonnaise popularized by the famous Manhattan establishment. Many variations of this classic American dish have evolved over the. years. Chop­ ped walnuts, noWN^n almost indispensable ingredient, later joined the trio. And years ago when the Kraft Kitchens added miniature marshmal- lows to the salad, they too quickly became a "must" for the recipe. In fact, today the variety of combinations is practically limitless. One particularly refreshing variation is Sunshine Mallow Waldorf. Substituting man­ darin orange segments for celery and adding raisins is the secret to this super salad recipe developed by the home economists in the Kraft Kitch­ ens. Just combine the fruits with chopped apples, minia­ ture marshmallows, walnuts and Miracle Whip salad dress­ ing and you've created a salad the whole family will enjoy. The miniature marshmallows and dressing provide a unique sweet-tart flavor as well as a pleasing texture complement. And no one has to know how easy this delicious and attrac­ tive recipe is to make. Unlike many fresh fruits and vegetables which are seasonal, apples are in plenti­ ful supply and a good value throughout the year. And since the other ingredients are canned or packaged, Sunshine Mallow Waldorf is a great salad choice the year round -- whenever you want to add a little sunshine to your meals. Sunshine Mallow Waldorf 3 cups chopped apples 2 cups Kraft miniature marshmallows 1 11 -oz. can mandarin orange segments, drained 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/2 cup raisins Miracle Whip salad dressing Combine apples, marsh­ mallows, oranges, nuts, raisins and enough salad dressing to moisten. Toss lightly. Chill. Add additional salad dressing before serving, if desired. Garnish with apple slices, if desired. 8 servings GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE! #, * a A.S UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED Legal Notice IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 19th JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.

It will be held at the McHenry Market Place from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 18. The labor for this month's drive will be provided by members of Boy Scout Troop 459 from Lakeland Park. Recyclable items handled at the drive are newspapers, cardboard, and magazines that are tied both ways, or tightly bagged or boxed; all aluminum products, including TV dinner trays; all aluminum throw- away cans (some brands of beverages use seamless cans that are steel-check the sides of the can with a magnet if you are in doubt); all steel cans; and green, brown, and clear glass containers. Cans should be clean, delabeled and flat­ tened; bottles should be clean with metal and plastic removed. No bi-metal cans will be accepted. This includes most beverage cans with pulltop lids. The McHenry County Defenders continue to urge the public to use returnable bottles for their beverages. Although the initial cost for the bottle deposit is high, the cost for the contents - ounce for ounce - is as much as 70 percent less in the returnables than in the throw-aways. Anyone having questions regarding the paper, bottle and can recycling may call 385-8512. Any elderly or infirm who have a large quantity of properly prepared recyclable materials that they would like to have picked up should call either the above number or this month's recycling group at 385-4418. Pressure Cooking Cooking under pressure is an excellent way to preserve food nutrients and color. Since foods cook quickly, this method also saves both food and fuel. Be sure and follow the recommended times and pounds of pressure for each food. If prepared properly, most foods cooked under pres­ sure also retain acceptable fla­ vor. POETS CORNER THE HEART OF CHRISTMAS My dear little granddaughter asked me today if my long-ago Christmas was done the same way as we do it now, and I looked in those eyes and my heart flowed with love as I spoke my replies. I said. "Child, you will find magic drifts in the air when Christmastime spreads its sweet joy everywhere, amd it matters not, dear, if you're beggar or king. c you must help share the love that the angels would sing, or the messageof peace in that wee baby's birth, would be lost on a dark and a suffering earth. But it was my own mother - your great-grandma, you see - who taught the traditions of Christmas to me. And some years our gifts made a great rainbow pile, and some years Mama would wistfully smile as she handed us presents all lovingly made by her own gentle hands, «. • and we knew that she prayed that we wouldn't feel sad or neglected or poor, and we couldn't because she had opened the door to a far richer gift than a princess might own, and this was that the heart of our Christmas is "home." Oh. Mama, I see us now, as we were then, the Christmas we stayed in the country - 'twas when our grandfather polished his red and gold sleigh, and took us all laughing and singing away to choose the right tree to stand in the hall, quite spendid in tinsel, its shimmering shawl, (What a glorious, piney, deliciously-green, popcorned and candle-lit Christmas woods queen)! And soft, lacey flakes made a satin-cream hill for girls to go tumbling down, screaming and shrill. Oh, the lode on your face, you scolded us so, for spoiling our capes in the wet, silvery snow. But your good Christmas heart had you dancing again, and you planning our parties all festive, and then when the cousins arrived, we could scamper and shout, play puppets or frolic or dance roundabout. Granny brought out the gingerbread men she would frost, while our ribbons and laces all merrily tossed as we eagerly shook every package and present to decide if our gift would be practical, pleasant or all that our hearts had been so wishing for, when Grandpa would suddenly burst through the door, and the time was at hand to pull on each boot, and bundle him into his Santa Claus suit, and you'd gather us close to you, Mama, and say that we were your gift and would make Christmas day. Your stories and carols would sift through our dreams, and you'd smile at mysterious Christmas gift schemes, but the midnight enchantment that lived in our minds (when we should have been sleeping), was one of the kinds that only a mother like you could create, and your gift seem more great. The joy of my childhood embraces me still. It^s a part of the magic, a part of the thrill of passing the glory of Christmas on down to each shining face that waits to be found, and waits to hear whispered that "Christmas is near! And there's so much to do!" And there's bountiful cheer that good little children can help send along, and this, Mama, dear, is your own Christmas song - the sharing of love, and the sending of joys, and the cranberry chains and the sparkling toys, and the hugs and the stories and carols and plays and the bustle and laughter of those holidays. I'm passing it on, it's a link to you, dear. You're a candle of love, that grows brighter each year. J.A.
