Happy New Year to all from the
executive members.
The Christmas party held on
December 1, 1985 was a great suc-
cess, thanks to Iola Nicklas and her
committee. A special thanks to the
boys and girls who played and sang,
and to the Icelandic classes and their
teachers plus Shirley McCreedy and
all the choir members. We'll look for
you again next Christmas. It was
great to see the people dancing
around the Christmas tree. And what
party would be complete without the
lovely food provided by the ladies.

Recipes of
Cod Heads Are Valuable
In 1983, 2.2 million tons of cod
were caught in North Atlantic
waters. From this catch, calculations
show that an additional 176,000 tons
of fish product could have been in-
expensively processed using the
Kvikk model 205 fish head splitter;
176,000 tons of high-value fish that
is today usually thrown away or sold
as a low-priced item.
This ingenious machine, developed
and manufactured in association
with Baader Service Ltd., separates
the inedible parts of a cod head from
the edible (cheeks and tongue) at a
rate of 30-40 heads per minute, equal
to the output of 20 manual workers.
The head represents 24% of a cod's
weight after gutting. One-hundred
tons of gutted cod, therefore, yields
24 tons of heads from which Kvikk's
machine extracts 13 tons of fresh or
frozen fish, nine tons of salted fish,
or five tons of minced fish. And it
automatically adjusts to sizes ranging
from 55-110 cm.
Interested in finding out just how
delicious cod tongues and cheeks can
be? Here are two recipes specially
created for Modern Iceland by Skúli
Hansen.

Brandur skrifar
Góðan daginn Jónas:
I gcérkvöldi var ég að ræða
heimsins mál við Björn á Alftá og
hann sagði mér að þú værir eitthvað
að rövta yfir því að þú hefðir ekkert
heyrt í mér langa lengi. Þvílík ósvifni!
Ég sem er nýbúinn að senda
ársgjaldið fyrir Kringiu-berg og lét
snepil fylgja að ég væri orðinn
óánægður með að sjá ekki greinina
sem þú sagðist þó vera rétt að slá
botninn í. Reyndu nú að losa svolítið
um málbeinið hvað mér viðvíkur.
T.V. News, Mid-January
Last August an evil aroma
emanated from the common house
on parliament hill, and now, by
mid-January, the stench has become
unbearable.
Gallup pollsters grin; — and croon
a gutsy legend. — Tories slump
as twenty million tainted tuna
tins are carted to the dump.
24. janúar las ég í blaði sitthvað
um stjörnur og kom þá þessi vísa
upp í kollinum.
From outer space, through 'scopes,
the scoundrels scan us
and find another ring around Uranus.
(ég spyr kunningja okkar, vestur í
landi, hvort honum finnist þetta ekki
óþarflega nærgögult? I flest er nú
t’arið að hnýsast)

We are urged to drink in modera-
tion at the Round Table, eða, bara
einsog góðu hófi gegnir.
Ef drengir sækja' í drykkjukrár
og dreypa' á meir en hæfir,
þá orðið getur Þráinn þrár
ef þráin yfirgnæfir.
