BIRTHS For Xmas Turkey Turkey, perfectly roasted and attractively served, is a dish that Is fit for a king any time of the year. To help you bring your holiday bird to the table with all its succulent flavor, Geral> dine Acker, foods specialist, University of Illinois College of Agriculture, gives the following dos and don'ts for poultry cooking: Do buy the right-sized bird for the number you're serving. Allow ^ to % pound of tufkey 'dressed weight, for each person. Do stuff the bird lightly to allow for expansion of the dressing during roasting: Do stuff Just before cooking. If you want to make the stuffing the night before, store it separately. Don't partially roast a large turkey one day and leave it out of the refrigerator'overnight and finish cooking the next day. This will allow for the growth of harmful bacteria. D|o pla n to cook tha bird C so that it can come out of the oven 30 to 40 minutes ahead of serving time. This will give you a little leeway in cooking time, will allow a few minutes to remove the skewers and string used for trussing and will give you time to make the gravy, Also, the bird will be easier to carve. 'Do • measure the ingredients for your gravy for a perfect result. Pour drippings and fat out of the roasting pan, and measure the exact amount needed. For each cup of gravy, allow two tablespoons of drippings and two tablespoons of flour. Cook flour and fat together until bubbly, stirring constantly; add lukewarm liquid--broth, milk or water---and stir until thickened. Season to taste. Don't prick * the bird with a fork to see whether it's done. To test for doheness, move the drumstick with the fingers. When the joints break or move easily, the bird is cooked. Don't let the turkey, dressing or gravy stand at room temperature for even a few hours. Refrigerate it immediately when the meal is over. tm s Marie Schaettgen Announce Marriage < Of Patricia O NeU '• Announcement has been made Wt the marriage of Miss Patricia O'Neil and Clarence E.

In England, one person in 1,013 gets a university education. There are more states east than west of the Mississippi River. RehabUKlon Along with the many other programs of the American Legion Auxiliary which are designed for the purpose of helping to rehabilitate' our disabled veterans, the hospital gift shops opened by the Auxiliary is one of the means by which this aim is accomplished. These Christmas gift shops are operated in veterans' hospitals throughout the country. The gift articles, the wrapping and the postage are all provided by the Auxiliary. All are free to the veterans so that the men without funds of their own may. have the joy of giving Christmasgifts to their dear ones. The many Auxiliary units throughout this state have contributed gift articles or m(mey to about 200 shops of this kind. A room in the hospital is provided for our use. Here the gifts are displayed among gay holiday decorations and many of the boys in wheel chairs or on crutches spend happy hours selecting and wrapping their gifts. These gifts bear no Auxiliary mark so that the recipient gets the gift directly from the veteran. -Christmas Party Our December meeting was one of the highlights of the year.

Mrs. Jane Gitzke and daughter, Linda Sue, of Cary were Friday guests in the Heimer home. Miss Rita Martin, accompanied by Miss Mildred Kinsala, attended a social gathering of Chevrolet office employees and their guests in Milwaukee, Wis., last week. Miss Ann Smith of Waukegan spent the weekend with McHenry relatives. Mr. and Mrs. S. Howell, Fred and Amy Brink of Woodstock attended a party in the home of Miss Martin Saturday evening. Miss Rose Huemann is spending the winter months in La- Mesa, Calif. Mrs. Robert Thompson and Miss Maude Granger attended a dessert-luncheon meeting of the Elgin chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, held at the Mrs. R. E. Fedou home in Elgin one recent day. Guests in the home of Mrs. Edith McAndrews in Chicago one day last week were Mr.and Mrs. Earl McAndrews, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McAndrews. Mr. and Mrs. James McAndrews and son and Miss Mary Kinney. Mrs. McAndrews observed her eightyninth birthday anniversary. During the holidays, strings of tree lights will add an extra load to electrical home wiring. Frank Andrew. specialist in agricultural engineering, University of Illinois, says the wattage on strings of tree lights varies from 60 to 80 watts per string. Don't fasten more than ten strings of such lights to one extension cord, because a load of 600-800 watts is all most extension cords should carry, says Andrew. When Santa ' thrills hoftiemakers with a new electrical gift, it sometimes happens that they plug it in and phff!! a fuse blows. If this happens to you, dant be tempted to replace the fuse with one of a larger size. You'll be inviting fires from overloaded circuits if you. do. Electrical lighting circuits in the average home are made to carry a load of 15 amperes. For all practical purposes, you can figure that 100 watts will use one ampere of current. (Actually, one tfmpere will carry 110 watts if you are figuring it closely.) So a bit more than 1500 watts Will pass safely through a circuit carrying 15 aiftperes of current. When you have so many appliances turned on that you go over the limit, the little band of metal in the fuse melts, cutting off the circuit and serving as a warning to you that you are using too many appliances at one time. .Why not make an "electrical budget" to keep things under control?
