—Being Directions On How to Carve Christmas Turkey Gather round ye matter! of the Chrtatma* dinner table. Uncle Sam will teach you • let ten: The government hat iaaued an official bulletin on the proper technique for carving the Christmas tor- , key The bulletin rules on such impor- ' tent problems as whether the fa- j ther should stand or sit while do- I ing the honors and the position of the turkey on the platter. All you have ' to do is read this, and carving the festive bird will be a lead-pipe cinch. “The turkey rides on the platter back down,” says the bureau of • home economics. "The first prob- , I i lem Is father's: Should he stand or I sit while carving?" There are two schools of thought I on this subject, and the government grants father his constitutional rights to do as he pleases. But it I is suggested, after deliberation. that I a short person had best stand and a tall person should sit for the most effective work. Are you short or tall? The next problem, says the bulletin. is the point of attack. It is here that many a head of a house. i the bureau believes, has lost the ■ Christmas spirit through ignorance or awkwardness—or just plain stubbornness. , Only a few simple rules need be ' followed. The most important, of course, is to keep the bird on the j platter, because it's rather difficult to work on the floor. Also, the bu- J next problem, u^poutZf l reau estimates, a bird on the platter is worth two on the tablecloth. "First." the bureau said, "remove the leg from the body by grasping it in your left hand (but what if you're left handed?) and cutting straight down to the hip joint. Be- I move the wings and the other leg. I "Then place the fork squarely ■ across the breastbone toward the end of the keel, to anchor the bird while you carve the breast in slices; using a slightly sawing motion." If you don't like the shape of your j turkey, or the distribution of dark ’ and white meat, well—why not have | your wife carve in the first place?
