LOUISA'S letter

Dear El Paso: I surmise from your letter you’re an educated, kind and considerate person. I think you’ll have to make a decision to be firm and reduce the irritation and abuse by your friend. It may be that there’s something holding you back that I don’t know about; you could speak to a minister or priest and see if he could help, with friendly counsel. Eventually, you’ll have to change this relationship and what you have to gain by continuing it. If better off changing it, make a firm decision and stick to it.

Tinkle then read some scriptures concerning the founding of our country. The scripture said God gave us a great country and with freedom unsurpassed in any other country in the world. Tinkle also read ‘‘The First Thanksgiving.” Ellison finished the program with a talk on how great it is to be an American. He expressed how we only give Thanksgiving at this time of the year and only call on our God when we are in need. He urged all the members to be thankful each day for all the blessings we receive. Guests for the day were Harold Henry, Kirk Dewart, Shane Bucher and Clair Mohler, district governor.

There need be no harsh or emotional words; I’m sure you can explain that things must change in a nice way. You write a lovely letter and you are probably being too patient, and being taken advantage of. Good luck, j Louisa DearT.W.F.: I’m sorry but it’s impossible to comment on a court case and your circumstances from a distance; therefore I suggest counsel with a clergyman, who might find help for you if your case is as stated.

Turkey for Thanksgiving

Even though Turkey is available all year round in many forms, November is the month we think about Turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. If turkey and all the trimmings are in your plans for Thanksgiving, you need to plan ahead for a successful dinner. You can usually buy a turkey in any size you want. Some turkeys are as small as 4 pounds, and big birds weight 25 pounds or more. In some areas, turkey halves and quarters may be available. Do you know what size to buy? Allow •a to 3 4 pound per serving for turkeys 12 pounds or over. For birds under 12 pounds, buy 3 4 to 1 pound per serving. In most cases, large turkeys are more economical than smaller birds. Also, left over turkey is great to use in future meals. Buy a turkey that has a clean, waxy skin without feathers. You should look for a plump breast and legs with plenty of fat under the skin. A short turkey with a broad breast gives more meat than a long, narrow bird of the same weight. To preserve the quality and safety of the turkey, store it properly after the purchase. 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 3-4 days before roasting. Frozen store-bought birds should be kept frozen or imThe cat's meow! French Canadians believe that if a cat meows in the house on Christmas Eve it means bad luck. They keep this tragedy from happening by feeding their kitties especially well on December 24

mediately defrosted and roasted. Frozen turkeys must be thawed before cooking. Either of the following thawing methods may be used. The method will depend on the amount of time and the space available. Thaw in refrigerator; thaw bird in it’s original wrapping on a tray in the refrigerator. A small turkey thaws in 2-3 days. Larger turkeys take 3-4 days. The other method of thawing is in cold water. Place frozen turkey (in its original wrapping if water-tight) in sink and cover with cold water. Change water frequently to speed up thawing. A small bird will take 1-3 hours to thaw and a large bird, 6-8 hours. Do not keep turkey in water after thawing. Refrigerate or cook immediately. Once the bird has been thawed, it should be roasted.. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a low 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° or till the thermometer registers 180-190°F. The exact time will vary with the size of the bird, temperature of bird at beginning of cooking, size of oven, covered or uncovered, stuffed or unstuffed. If you’re not using a thermometer, allow 15 to 20 minutes

Special information is sent out to expectant and new mothers of twins with no obligation.

per pound. To test for doneness, press the thick past of the drumstick between your fingers. Be sure to protect your fingers with a paper towel. Meat should feel soft. Move drumstick up and down. It should move easily or twist out of joint. Turkey should be cooked thoroughly. Never partially cook it and finish it later. Bacteria can survive in partially cooked poultry. To prevent overbrowning and drying out, cover the bird partly with aluminum foil placed lightly over legs and breast, when thermometer reaches 150’F or gets too brown. Brush the turkey occasionally with pan drippings or fat. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

when trying to raise two or more of the same age. The group tries to help with literature, helpful hints, equipment sales, monthly newsletters, special functions and meeting. The club is currently trying to join the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Club which will give it access to more information, special twinrelated organizations and special help for special problems. A twin picnic was sponsored in August by the club with 13 adults, and 10 toddler twins, all under two years old, present. The club intends to make this an annual event. Other activities of the club during its first year was two bake sales and attending the International Twin Convention, Fort Wayne, Labor Day.

JURSS Milford Librarian How does one remember friends when the ultimate tragedy strikes? Flowers? Contributions to favorite charities? I can not think of a more fitting memorial than placing a book in the library in memory of a loved one or friend. This month, the Milford Public Library was remembered by friends of Paul M. Brembeck, and the following books were placed in the library in his memory: “Love and War” by John Jakes; “Pieces of My Mind” by Andy Rooney; “Treating Type A Behavior” by Meyer Friedman; “Bridge Across Forever” by Richard Bach; “Loving Each Other" byLeo Buscaglia; and “lacocca; An Autobiography” by Lee lacocca. Other books received during* the month included: “Kincaid” by Henry Denker, in memory of Atfny Vanlaningham; “Stengel: His Life and Times” by Robert Creamer, in memory of Jerry Wilson; and “Guide to Successful Gardening” in memory of Echo Tusing. The Milford Public Library is fortunate that it has many friends who remember. These gifts are most appreciated and will be for time to come.
