Carving The Holiday Turkey LAFAYETTE — Carving the holiday turkey or chicken requires not only talent, but know-how and Dr. Sandra Schlicker, extension foods and nutrition specialist at Purdue university, gives the following directions. Standard Style Cut (bird lying on back): 1. To remove leg (thigh or second joint and drumstick). Hold the drumstick firmly with fingers, pulling gently away from turkey body. At the same time cut through skin between leg and body. 2. Press leg away from body with flat side of knife. Then cut through joint joining leg to backbone and skin on the back. Hold leg on service plate with drumstick at convenient angle to plate. Separate drumstick and thigh by cutting down through the joint to the plate. 3. Slice drumstick meat. Hold drumstick upright at a convenient angle to plate and cut down, turning drumstick to get uniform slices. Chicken drumsticks and thighs are usually served without slicing. 4. Slice thigh meat. Hold thigh firmly on plate with fork. Cut slices of meat parallel to the bone. 5. Cut into white meat parallel to wing. Make a cut deep into the body frame parallel to and as close to the wing as possible. 6. Slice white meat. Beginning at front, starting halfway up the breast, cut thin slices of white meat down to the cut made parallel to the wing. The slices will fall away from the turkey as they are cut to this line. Continue carving until enough meat has been carved for first servings. Additional turkey may be carved

as needed. Side Style Cut (bird lying on side): 1. Remove the wing tip and first joint. Grasp the wing tip firmly with fingers, lift up, and sever between the first and second joint. Place the wing tip and first joint portion on the side of the platter. This part is not customarily served. Leave the second joint attached to the bird. 2. Remove the drumstick. Grasp the end of the drumstick and lift it up and away from the body, disjointing it from the thigh or second joint of the leg. The latter is left attached to the bird. Place the drumstick on the side platter for slicing the meat. Hold drumstick upright at a convenient angle and cut down toward the plate, parallel with the bone, turning the drumstick to make uniform slices. 3. Removing the thigh bone. Anchoring the fork to steady the bird, cut slices of thigh meat parallel to the body until the bone is reached. Run the point of the knife around the thigh bone, lift up with the fork, anduse fork or fingers to remove the bone. Then slice the remaining thigh meat. The choice dark meat above the thigh in the spoon-shaped section of the backbone is called the “oyster”. Use the point of the •" knife to lift it out. 4. Slicing white meat. Begin at the front end of the turkey and slice until the wing socket is exposed. Remove the second joint of the wing. 5. Remove stuffing from holes - cut into cavity under thigh. Slit the thin tissue in the thigh region with the tip of the knife and make an opening large enough for a serving spoon.

$ facts about £ ‘OUR TOWN*. Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY Here’s hoping everyone enjoyed last Thursday with it’s turkey, dressing, trimming and football too. It was a gathering of the klans ■, at our house. Friend husband’s folks did venture down from Michigan and my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Bushong of Waubee Lake, were in for the day as was my grandmother Mary Huber and my brother, John, a student at Indiana university and Larry Criswell. Well, enough of Thanksgiving, it’s now time to hurry along into the Christmas season. Visitors in our house last evening was Lions District Governor Kenneth Isenberg and cabinet secretary Ben Six and their wives. The Governor reminds all Lions of the meeting planned at LaVille high school on Sunday and urges the Lions of Our Town and the entire district to attend. In case you can’t attend plan to turn on the Plymouth radio station as the meeting will be broadcast. It. promises to be interesting. We received an interesting letter in this morning’s mail from Mrs. Paul Leming, the former Phyllis Stump, of Goshen. She states a friend took her a copy of last week’s paper in which we ran the photo of the oldtime baseball team. Her letter reads in part, “Merle Stump, second from die left in the back row is my uncle. He is a retired school teacher and principal and lives in Indianapolis. Rial Stump, on the far right in the first row is Merle’s brother. He is a minister and lives in Grantham, Pa. “The second row in the picture is mis-identified. The first man in the row, not the one on the right, is Vern Stump another brother, and is my father. He died in 1930. My dad was born Otober 25, 1887, and looks to be about 18-20 in the picture in which case, the photo would have been taken around 1905, but I’m sure it couldn’t have been before 1900 as indicated..’’ Thank you Mrs. Leming for your interesting information and for the letter. Another name that was called to my attention last week was that of Jack DeFries. The gentleman’s first name was Jake tot Jack!
