Turkey time Is fast approaching, and unlike their grandmas, mi-lady need gather her thoughts (or a bountiful dinner only far enough ahead of time to shop. Of course, the old timers who have whiffed the aroma of a slow roasting turkey and pumpkin pie will accept no substitute, regardless of how many commercials appear on TV telling them that the contents of the frozen package are "just as good as mother made". It's a different story for the younger folks who were brought up on freezers and can openers. For the really lazy gal who promises a feast, it's easy. The turkey (choice of white or dark meat) is most availa b l e a l r e a d y s l i c e d , a n d gravy comes either with the bird or canned. There is no longer a shortage of prepared dressing, and the variety grows each year. And have you tried some of the ready baked pies frozen fresh from the ovens of some large and impersonal company? Some, of them are a good deal more appetizing than those emerging from the ovens of the more personal family cook. The indispensable cranberry sauce, vegetables cooked and in their own butter, bread and rolls more tender than grandma ever kneeded- - -all of these and many more have taken the old picture of a busy kitchen out of Thanksgiving. It has also taken out something else spelled WORK. p jTW iih ir ^ 'ir- -H V WK3» > j, " y I ^ xfff *^11 r s * ft,'-VO 'vr>. -f'j > FIRST WORLD tion A courageous young mother arrived1 in Spain recently after traveling the long distance f r o m C h a r l e s t o n , S o u t h Carolina, by plane with her seven children 1--and alone. The mother is Mrs. Thomas (Joan Weber) Murphy and her youngsters range in age from a daughter almost 10 years old to a tiny tot. Their husband and father left the country a few months ago and when he became located at the Navy base, sent for his family. The several thousand-mile trip began late in Octoter when they left their Charleston home by plane for Kennedy field, New York, and then the long trip by ai% .to Spain. Becoming accustomed to a wringer-type wash machine, no oven, two-burner stove, a two and a half foot bath tub is only an inconvenience after the tremendous task of keeping in tow seven youngsters on runways, in hangars and on the plane itself. Eventually, when a home is available on the base, the Murphy • family will enjoy modern living for their twoyear stay. Until then, the older children are exchanging language lessons with little Spanish tots, learning more about the money of the oountry and becoming accustomed to narrow streets In which a huge assortment of noisy scooters and slow moving donkeys are included nmong the vehicles of transportation. There must be many stories appropriate to the Thanksgiving holiday. Certainly not the least^mong them is this true taW%f a long trip for which aigrateful mother must be ex- (Continued on Page 12) Eugeiao ICasao To Take CMfiteo In New Legion Home Members of Barracks 1315 of the Veterans of World War 1 are planning for installation of officers on Wednesday, Dec. 14, at 7:30 o'clock at the new American Legion clubhouse on Ringwood road.

Following the approval of voters at the special bond issue election Oct. 18, the Council, through Financial Consultant M. B. Birchfield, sent out bid forms to a large number of financial institutions. Five bids resulted. The issue of $130,000, being comparatively small, did not attract a large number of bidders, but resulted in favorable interest rates. Hie Home State Bank bid on the basis of 4% percent interest rate from 1968 through 1971 and 4% from 1972 through 1986. When bids were checked, it was found that there was only a difference of $3.37 in interest over .the entire period between the two most favorable bids.

Business Area Re^dy for Shoppers With each new bulb that goes twinkling on as holiday lighting takes form in Mc- Henry's business districts this week, another person will take on the spirit of the season. This means that the Christmas shopping season is once more with us. As the years pass, the city's expanding business sections become as one, and particularly in the pre-holiday season when they unite to present discriminating buyers the most extensile choice of items ever offered. The last frantic week of activity before Christmas is a fading tradition. Foresighted business men have even seen the holiday shopping season, which in some places has its advertising start in August, eventually eliminated. They predict it will be replaced by a continual gift-giving period. However, until this becomes a reality, it is not too early to begin a gift selection in our own McHenry stores. If you are looking for something unique -- something special -- don't let anyone convince you it isn't available just a few blocks from home. The advertising sections of the Plaindealer in the weeks ahead should be the prime convincer! Only rubble remains fjof^the^ barn on the H. H.
