Chicken can be stretched into very tasty dishes

As a general rule, the whole bird represents the best buy, unless a special is offered on the parts. The meatier parts of the chicken — leg or breast — usually cost more per pound. Chicken, like red meats, can be stretched by the addition of vegetable ingredients, as in the recipes which follow.

It's Turkey Time!

By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Extension Home Economist It’s turkey time! With Thanksgiving just around the corner, turkey becomes a popular meat. Turkeys and turkey parts are available the year round, but most homemakers prepare them as a special treat during the holiday season. Turkeys are available in a variety of sizes. A larger turkey is usually more economical since there is more meat and less waste. A short turkey with a broad breast gives more meat than a long, narrow bird of the same weight. Any left over turkey can be frozen for future use. You must plan ahead to get your turkey thawed in time. There are two methods of thawing recommended. The faster method is to thaw the turkey in its original wrapping in cool water. Change the water frequently. A small bird will thaw in 1-3 hours and a large bird in 6-8 hours. If you have room in your refrigerator, your turkey can be thawed there. Keep the turkey in its original wrapping. This method requires two to four days depending on the size of the bird. In preparing stuffing, prepare one half cup per pound of turkey. Remember that stuffing expands in cooking, so don’t fill the cavity too full. Home stuffed turkeys should be cooked immediately. It is unsafe to stuff your turkey the day before you plan to cook it. After cooking, the dressing should be removed from the cavity and refrigerated as soon as possible. There are several methods of cooking recommended - breast up, breast down, and foil covered, among others. Use the method that you prefer. Turkey is an economical meat. It me/ be cooked and served manv wavs - salads, sandwiches.

Local schools observing American Education week

Schools in the Lakeland Community are emphasizing that American Education week, October 21-27, is an appropriate time for all parents and other citizens to begin taking a more active part in helping make the schools better. Public concern about public education should not only be year-round but should also reach far beyond the local community. Future local benefits — greater tax yield from higher income residents; lure of business and industry; reduced welfare, unemployment and law enforcement costs — are well understood. But we may not fully realize we all have a stake in the quality of education in all other states and neighborhoods. In the increasingly mobile society, relatively few people settle in the city or town where they attend school. They disperse throughout the land. Thus, a community may someday suffer from an inferior school system 2,000 miles away. ‘Get Involved’ Aside from humanitarian considerations, the nation’s schools, not just our community’s schools, are everyone’s responsibility. The theme of American Education Week is “Get Involved” and the local school district is the logical starting Wednesday club tours Syracuse public library For the Wednesday Afternoon club meeting last week, 14 members enjoyed a tour of the Syracuse public library under guidance of Mrs. Robert L. Jones and Mrs. Oscar Bjella, librarians. Hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. Merton Meredith and Mrs. Joseph M. Rapp. Mrs. John Sudlow, president, reported on the 63d annual convention of the 13th district of the Indiana Federation of Clubs which she and Miss Katharine Rothenberger, immediate pastpresident of the Wednesday club, had attended at Goshen the preceding week. Accentuating the district theme of “promoting good will and generating enthusiasm,” Mrs. Sudlow stated that community improvement and safety had been designated primary goals of the federation this year. In outlining the multiple services provided by the Syracuse library, Mrs. Jones demonstrated the “talking books” which can now be procured on special records and spoke briefly of other aids available to library patrons: Film, recordings, memorial gift books, tele-type information and the resources Os the Indiana state library. She

point, for “America is a nation of communities.” High population mobility and the greater resources of the federal government argue strongly for increased federal support of education. Concerned local citizens might look for ways to carry the message more forcefully to representatives in Washington. State and local governments now provide more than 92 per cent of the public school dollar. It’s a matter of national priorities. In 1970-71, for example, estimated* federal expenditures for education were $4.4 billion, * just over onetwentieth of the SB2 billion for defense. Total educational expenditures, federal, state and local, were only about half those for defense. American Education week, observed annually since 1921, seeks to encourage local citizens support and active participation in the improvement of education. This year the program will stress learning more about the schools as a basis for active personal involvement. The nationwide event is sponsored by the National Education association, the American legion, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers and the US Office of Education. also pointed out the Wedgwood Bicentennial plate which the Wednesday club had presented to the library earlier this year. Mrs. Bjella, children’s librarian, reviewed the activities of her department — pre-school to fifth grade. Displaying the books, magazines and records available to that group, she noted their increasing interest in both sports and science during recent years. As a final lagniappe, Mrs. Bjella presented a film feature “Ben and Me,” adapted from Robert Lawson’s book. Mrs. Ray D. Jones of Dewart Lake will be hostess for the October 24 meeting. Columbian Reading Circle has art program Oct. 8 The Columbian Reading Circle met in the home of Mrs. Harry Dale Doty near Milford Monday,, Oct. 8.
