and made a firm eonfesscn _of . faith. Escaping murlyrdoin lic died a natural death about A. D- 359- Tltere he was buried, but in i807 some Italian sailors piousy dccidccl to removc—wc will not. say steal-- the relics of the Saint and succedterl i in cnriying them to Bari, whcrc they have remai-ttccl ever since and are held in veneratiou.

(2) Legend. He ‘s the patron of sailors, because when called on (lur- ing n storm at sea, he came 0n deck. l seized the rudder and safeiy‘ guided the ship through the waves. l

Another legend tells of his pro- tection of three boys as followsz‘ They were on their way home for the holidays and lodged one alight’ at an inn. The landlord, running short of bacon, murdered the boys, cu: up their bodies and szttcd them away in casks. Nicholas, noting their disappearance. charged the guilty man with murder acid on his denial caused the three boys to rise mir- aculously with sound bodies from their respective casks. Even in ecclesiastical circles we find exag- gerat-ions.

The basis of truth in the story is the fact. that Nicholas wrung from Eustathius, Governor of Myra. the pardon of three lads condemned to death and imprisoned in a tower. PIctures later represented him with a tower at. his side and three little men rising out of it. Hence the leg- end.

(3) Common Sense. Picture a lonely and thoughtful boy. left an‘ orphan with more money at his dis- pvsol than he needed. who discovers‘ means oi’ lasing his motley for the. poor and stiffering in Myra. his pleasure lay iu doing deeds; of kind-

ness without: allowing those lie help-

frem. His friends kept his sccrct and reportrd cases of poor and un- happy people who needed the help he gave in secret. Not. till he was an old man. with a long flowing beard, like the present-day Santa Claus. did people know who was the friends of thr- poor in Myra. who did his good deeds without advertis- ing them.

This common sense view is borne out by a typical example of his ‘kindness.

A-poor man in Myra. had three daughters who could not get mar- iued, because they had no dowry. Nicholas planned secretly hep for llicin. Wrapped in a long cloak. un- dcr cover of darkness he went to the house where they lived and reaching through the open window placed a bag of gold inside. This he did twice and the two elder daugh- ters were provided with a dowry for their marr age.

O21 the third occasion the father kept watch and discovered the kind benefactor" to be no other than the sdivn..tly Bishop of Myra, Nicholas.

As the years passed stories of his goodness went from mouth to mouth. He prirverl with the sick, provided medicine for their healing, rescued poor debtors from prison, rnul was known generally for his ilﬁtll‘. ziceds. As the grey-bearded saint rrdc about hs town, making friends with the children, no doubt it. was their loving appreciation. of S’. Nicholas that mused him to be known as Santa Claus. When pres- ents came to them secretly at this season, for St. Nicholas‘ Feast Day is Dec; 6th, they VlOLl d say to each other, "Santa Claus has been here."

ti! i-lis Example in life. Surely it muy be summed up in the one word "Scrvlcc“ and that is the object. for which Rotary exists.

All sorts of people have adopted Nicholas as their patron saint; why not Rotary as well, for who could be more suited for this than good old. Santa Claus?

Rotarinn Samuel Kennedy was in this chair. George Neely of Edmon- ion was a guest.

The housewife would be well ad- vised when going to buy the Christmas turkey or other poultry to ask for a bird that has been graded according to Governuient standards and which ha; been lagged according to grade. ﬂit-m are three principal grades, A, B, and C.

Truss the turkey by forcing the tip of each wing back of the first wing Joint triangular shape and tie both ends o! the legs to the tall. When thus made ready, place the turkey in the roasting pan so that the back rests on the pan and the legs are on top. Dredge with flour, sprinkle salt and pepper and place in a hot oven. When the surface o! the bird is well brown- ed reduce the heat and haste every 15 minutes until the turkey is cooked. This wll usually re- quire about 3 hours, depending, of course, on the size of the bird. For basting, melt 4 tablespoons of butter or bacon fat in a half cup of’ boiling water. Pour this into the roasting pan. Add water when this evaporates so as to keep a sufficient amount for basting. Turn the bird several times dur- ing the roasting, so that the sides and back, as well as the breast. will be browned.
