There is no fixed period for this loan recovery," he said. He said municipalities qualifying must be under 125,000 in population; have an approved official plan and, related bylaws; and there must be strong council and community support for the project which must be capable of being completed in five years. 1 It's not a bit too soon to start your Christmas cake baking, particularly if you plan to remember friends and acquaintances at Christmas time.

You'll long be rememb- t ered as a talented and most considerate friend. When making Christmas cake, it is generally not advisable to double the rec-' ipe. You could bake a recipe in smaller pans or cut it into loaves or quarters once baked, for giving away. You may certainly substitute fruit ingredients but always be sure the total weight of fruit is the same as originally called for in the recipe. Baked cakes once removed from the oven should be allowed to cool and sët. Once cooled, wrap them carefully in aluminum foil. - Store in the refrigerator, or in a tin can in a cool basement to ' allow the cake to "mellow".
