A Southeast Portland resident who is an accom– plished organist has vol– unteered his talents ·and electric organ to provide free of charge, some enter– tainment and extra Christ– mas cheer to shut-ins and those unfortunate to be ·confined over the holi– days. The musician has his I own electric organ, and in t the past has taken care of the transportation ex- ·pense himself. However, this is impracticable at this time, and this would be the only cost to any 1 sponsoring organization, club or church. I At one hospital where the organist played, a bus I was provided and the cus– todians assisted ~n sett- I ing up the organ. For business reasons, the organist declines use of his name. He may be· reached by calling 774- 8024 for dates in conval– escent hospitals, nursing homes and homes for the aged only. - J bon bow and a s p r a y of artifical holly to shank.

DENTAL Oldest of all carols, it has been said, was that sung by the heavenly host when the birth of the Saviour was an– nounced to the shepherds on the plains of Bethlehem. Prob– ably, the practice of singing carols at Christmas arose in imitation of this, as the major– ity of carols declared the good tidings of great joy, and the title of Noel, nowell or novelle. applied to carols, would seem to bear out this idea. l Bedroom Unfurn. with Refrig-Range– on No. Alberta $40.00 call-288-2935 CARl~ fOSl,S LESS than Neglect ~Your Dental Health comes first ~ Payments can come Later. * No-Appointment Needed * * No Interest or Carrying Charges Dental Plates -Prompt Service • You ortt lnvitttd to Consult mtt for FILLINGS • INLAYS BRIDGES • CROWNS • PARTIALS GOLD FOIL FILLINGS • EXTRACTIONS PORCELAIN JACKETS • X-RAYS All 2IHI floor SIMUI ILDG.

In any event, the label will tell you whether the ham is the ready-to-eat (just heat through) or the cook-before-eating kind. If the latter, bake at 325 degrees for 20 to 22 minutes to the pound, or until the thermometer registers 160 de– grees. Fully cooked (ready-to-eat) hams generally take only 15 minutes to the pound and are heated through · when the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees. Enjoy a bit of heaven.
