Mi MARGARET FREEMAN Outside I Sales Rep. It does not cost the consumer anything additional to buy an airline ticket from a travel agent. The agent's commission is paid by the airline. A travel agent has direct access, to computer information which reveals which airlines fly to your desired destination and which fly tor the lowest cost. If you were to try to call airlines in an attempt to book your own flight, it would probably not always be revealed that alternative indirect flights are available at considerable savings over direct flights. A travel agent has the incentive of getting your travel business to justify putting all of his knowledge at your disposal. You have everything to gain. When your planning a vacation why not come into WARSAW TRAVEL AGENTS, and discuss your travel plans with one of our travel agents? We're a full line travel agency, with our own travel consultant Kathy McKibben. We're completely computerized tor fast and efficient service. Stop by, we're located at 1301 N.

Preparing a Thanksgiving turkey

By JILL MCKOWEN Extension Home Economist

Thanksgiving means “turkey.” Every year families follow their own traditions for stuffing and roasting the bird. To help you plan and prepare for your Thanksgiving dinner, the following questions have been compiled concerning turkey purchasing and preparation. What size turkey should 1 buy? A turkey with the respective weight will serve an approximate number of people: 6-8 pounds for six to 10 servings; 8-12 pounds for 10-20 servings; 12-16 pounds for 20-32 servings; and 16-20 pounds for 32-40 servings. These estimates will depend on the appetites of the diners and the cooking and carving skill of the cook. How do 1 store a turkey? Store in the refrigerator or freezer, depending on the form purchased and how soon the bird will be roasted. Refrigerated, storebought birds can be safely stored in the refrigerator three to four days before roasting. Frozen store-bought birds should be kept frozen or immediately defrosted and roasted. How should I thaw a turkey? Thaw the bird slowly in a cold place. A slow, cold thaw will decrease the amount of weepage and lower the chances that bacteria will grow. The best method is to thaw the turkey in the refrigerator. Uns method will take three to four days depending on the size of the bird. Another faster method is to cover the bird in its original wrapping, if air-tight, and place it in cool running water, or im-

LOUISA’S LETTER

Dear Louisa; My sister has one child, a daughter four years of age. They idolize this little girl and it is easy to understand why. But 1 think they are doing her harm by the way they act. The whole house revolves around this child. She has to have the attention of the family at al) times. No matter who is present or what needs to be done. It has to be stopped if she interrupts. She is an adorable looking child but she is not being taught proper manners. 1 am afraid to say these things to my sister because she will resent it. What should 1 do? Concerned-N.J. Answer: An attitude such as you describe will probably make adjustment to others in the

merse in cold water. Change the water frequently until the turkey is pliable enough to handle. Hus will take approximately one-half hour per pound of meat. Do not allow turkey to stand in water after thawing. Refrigerate or cook immediately. Do not allow turkey to thaw at room temperature because the outer part will thaw quickly and become warm long before the center is thawed. Frozen foods do contain bacteria and mishandling the turkey in the kitchen may trigger food-borne illness. How should I prepare the turkey for cooking? Remove the turkey from the plastic bag and remove the neck and giblets (heart, liver and gizzard) from the body cavity. The giblets can be used in gravy or in dressing. How should I cook the turkey? Roast the turkey the same way you thaw it, slowly. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow pan. A rack keeps the bird out of the juices and permits heat to circulate freely to allow even cooking. Insert a meat thermometer in the center of the inside thigh muscle. Be sure the thermometer does not touch the bone. Roast at 325 degrees Fahrenheit or until the thermometer registers 189-190 degrees. Using a lower temperature, the turkey will be juicier and more tender than roasting at a higher temperature. The exact cooking time will vary with the size of the bird, temperature of turkey at beginning of cooking, size of oven, covered or uncovered, stuffed or unstuffed. If you are not using a

world a very great problem for this little girl when she goes out into the world. That is one great trouble with so many young people today. They have been cartered to and given everything without having to contribute their time or energies in helping. 1 believe in giving a great deal of time and opportunities to our young people but there must be some discipline. They must know and realize the rights of others, old and young. The child who with kindness and understanding, has been taught to be courteous, will find life later on a mud) better one than does the selfish child. Louisa Address: Louisa, Box 532, Orangeburg, S.

thermometer, allow 15 to 26 minutes per pound. To test for doneness, press the thick part of the drumstick up and down. It should move easily or twist out of the joint. Turkey should be cooked thoroughly. Never partially cook it and finish later. Bacteria can survive in partially cooked poultry.

To prevent over browning and drying out, cover the bird partly with aluminum foil placed lightly over legs and breast, when thermometer reaches ISO degrees or the bird gets too brown. Brush the turkey occasionally with pan drippings or fat. If stuffing is on the menu, cook it completely. It's safest to cook it separately from the turkey. If you must cook stuffing inside the turkey, cook until the meat thermometer inserted into the stuffing reaches at least 165 degrees. Never stuff the turkey the night before cooking. Refrigerate turkey leftovers immediately. If stuffed, remove all stuffing and store separately. Use these guidelines and you will have a delicious, safe turkey dinner. Happy Thanksgiving! Christmas joy He was nearly 85 years young and squeezed the lady's hands who came to bring Christmas to his nursing home. Tapping the floor with his cane, and pointing to his arthritic hands, he said, meekly,"You know, we have not always been like this." Then he smiled as the tears roiled down his wrinkled face, and he proceeded to the tree to select his gift. What joy there is in doing something for others and seeing their pleasure at being remembered! And what joy when someone remembers we are all God's children, young and old. Let children help with gift wrapping When your young children want to share in the fun of wrapping Christmas presents, here’s an idea you and they might like to try. Give the children some magazines and have them find pictures that resemble the people that will be receiving the gifts, ie., a picture of a grandfather. Then have them tape the picture of ‘Grandfather’ to his package. Watch the fun when the children identify the gifts under the tree and hand them out to their lookalikes! New names When you go Christmas shopping, it's fascinating to see the many varieties of toys in the stores. Something new is the discovery that kiddie cars are no longer called that. Instead, they are lahled, "Tot Rods.”
