Hanukkah naty Hanukkah is a happy, joyous holiday...a time for feasting, games and laughter. The celebration of the Festival of Lights dates back 2,000 years to the time when the Maccabees, under the leadership of Judah, successfully regained their temple from their enemies. When Judah entered to v purify the sanctuary and kindle the Eternal Light he found one small cruse of consecrated oil-just enough for one day-but which miraculously burned for eight days. With the temple purified, the people rejoiced and the Festival of Lights was born. Through the years, the holiday moved from the temple into the home and feasting and games became an integral part of the celebration. From Spain comes a holiday feast that will live in your memory. Spain was for many centuries the center of Jewish life and culture and it was the Sephardic Jews who arranged special feasts for the children and contests for the youths. Baked Sea Bass Espanol...what a triumphant entry into the dining room this superb dish makes! A whole glorious sea bass is baked and served "head to tail", and surrounded by luscious fresh Florida orange sections and aromatic rice stuffing. The rice is simmered in fresh orange juice, lending its fragrance to the mixture of chopped dates and almonds, reasoned with onions and a subtle touch of ginger and cinnamon. BAKED SEA BASS ESPANOL IV4 cups Florida orange juice xk cup uncooked, long- grain white rice % cup pitted, diced dates Vz cup toasted slivered almonds 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 2 tablespoons sugar V4 teaspoon ground ginger Salt Pepper 1 Whole fish (5 to6 pounds) cleaned, scaled and left whole (about 3 pounds after cleaning) 1 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced V4 cup butter or margarine, melted 3 Florida oranges, peeled and sectioned 1 teaspoon ground cin­ namon Watercress In a medium saucepan bring orange juice to a boil over high heat. Add rice; cover, reduce heat to moderate and simmer 20 minutes until rice is tender and juice is absorbed. Add dates, almonds, butter, sugar, ginger, and salt and pepper to taste; toss well. Stuff fish with rice mix­ ture, skewer closed. Arrange half the onion rings in a 15 x 10 inch jelly-roll pan; place fish on top and drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and top with remaining onion rings. If fish is larger than pan, put aluminum foil under head and tail to catch drippings. Bake in a 350 degrees F. oven 1 hour and 10 minutes or until fish is tender and flakes easily with a fork. To serve, transfer fish to a large heated platter; remove skewers and gently spoon some of the stuffing onto the platter. Surround fish with orange sections; sprinkle with cinnamon.

NOVEMBER (by Normon Vincent Peak an Ruth Stafford Peale) nd Holly: Spirit Of Christmas HOSPITAL By Norman Vincent Peale and ruth Stafford Peale Wile Q. My husband travels in his work and is sometimes quite late coming in after work. Other times he isn't at his scheduled place when I call. At other times he leaves the house on Us off-time without telling me where he's going or for how long. I feel that I have a right to know where he is at all times so I demand an explanation, this often irritates him and leads to quarrel. I am suspicious thit women are involved but he says he is doing nothing wrong. He's a wonderful person and I love him. I don't want our home afoktt. Please advise. A. It is unreasonable for your husband to be secretive about his movements. A wife is entitled to know where her husband is. But we suggest that you keep suspicions under control. Trust is an important ingredient in love and happy marriage. Perhaps his attitude is activated by what he considers nagging by you. - We are sending you our pamphlet The Secret of a Happy Marriage, which is free to any reader of this column. Write to us at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12564. Overweight and left oat Q. I am 19 years old and slightly overweight. Everybody keeps telling me I'm very pretty. But my friends have a boy to go somewhere with on Friday nights. I'm sitting at home feeling left out like no one wants me. I dated two different guys, I've known for a long time and thought they were nice-until I went out with them. They both started out telling me they liked me a lot The next thing was they wanted to make love to me. All they knew was what they wanted and how they thought tftey could get it. I want someone to love, and them to love me, but not for a few hours. I am so very lonesome that I am about to go crazy. I wonder if I should give up or what? A. Your question reminds us of a girl we once knew. She had a good figure, but was not pretty like you. In fact, she was considered homely. Her morals were impeccable and she was the most popular girl in school. And the reason? She was interesting. She was full of life and she genuinely liked everyone- always, somehow, doing nice things for people, especially the "out of it" ones. Actually she was a lot of fun. She was really an inspiring personality. She had plenty of boyfriends and they liked and respected her. Boys, you know, are just people - • and people are friendly when treated nicely. Marriage without a license i Q. Iam a widow considering remarriage. But like other senior citizens it would be difficult to live on a wife's share of Social Security. It would be easier to make aids meet If I continue to draw a widow's benefit from my deceased husband. I read in the newspaper that some ministers are performing a marriage ceremony but without the marriage license. Do you know anything about this angle and whom I could contact? / A. There is no way in which a legal marriage may be performed without a marriage license. If you are truly in love, our advice is to get married in a proper and spiritual manner and trust the Lord to take care of both of you. If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale, write to them at Box 500, Pawling, N.Y. 12564. Few Christmas legends or traditions are as durable as those surrounding the spiny- leaved plant known as holly. The humble yet powerful evergreen may well have inspired the traditional Christmas colors, red and green. Yet its symbolism predates the celebration of Christmas itself. Through the centuries, the perennially green holly has been hung in and around the home to ward off evil spirits, bad weather, misfortune, poison, and witchcraft. Soldiers in days of yore wore sprigs of it as a badge of courage. „ In some cultures the leaves were eaten to purge the soul ; in others tea was brewed from the leaves to provide extra-ordinary strength. At one time holly was even placed under pillows to induce prophetic dreams. Druid priests considered the evergreen plant proof that the sun would never desert the skies. They brought boughs of holly indoors to attract woodland spirits who would bless the home. The Romans carried on this tradition by using holly indoors during the feasts of Saturnalia, a midwinter festival celebrating the return of longer days a,d the certain hope of Spring. The early Christians regarded it as a symbol that the Christ Child would live eternally in the hearts of men. As Christianity spread, so did legends about holly. It was said, according to one tale, that holly originally had white berries until the time of the Nativity. When a visitor brought a gift of a holly branch to the Christ Child, the baby pricked His finger on the sharply pointed leaves. The holly blushed embarrassment and the berries remained red ever since. Holly has long been known as the "holy tree" in many lands. But the name comes from an old English word, "holen," which refers to tress with glossy leaves and red berries. There are more than 200 varieties of die plant, in­ cluding some that Vise their leaves each Autumn and some that grow yellow, black and even purple berries. Nearly two dosen species are found in the United States. BIRTHS Jon and Denise Ringer of Morris, 111. are proud to announce the birth of their first child.

It was not heavily imported until the 1870's when a group of British immigrants brought it to the Pacific Northwest. Earlier English colonists who settled along the Eastern seaboard were content to use the American variety at Yuletide. Today, only about 1,000 acres In Oregon and Washington are used to cultivate the English holly. Yet from that acreage comes a large percentage of the country's holiday cut­ tings.
