He is attached to one of five air squadrons com­ prising Carrier Air Group Seven. The biggest joke of the past week was the official arrival of winter last Friday when the warmest weather in many a day came to add complete confusion to this unpredictable season. The relatively mild breezes followed more than a month of cold weather. Christmas weather followed much the same pattern as Thanksgiving with zero tem­ peratures plus a thick blanket of snow. The accidental death rate on the county's highways over the holiday weekend topped the 500 mark exceeding by a sub­ stantial figure the prediction of the National Safety council. While none of the tragic ac­ cidents occurred in McHenry, four lives were claimed in the county. The local accidents were a part of the staggering accidental death toll of ap­ proximately 700 over the holiday weekend with traffic fatalities the highest since the all time record of 555 set in 1936. Ice coated highways killed 515 persons, more than 100 over the 19*49 Christmas holiday toll. The National Safety council had predicted a traffic total of 440.

Well, Rose Barry of East Haven, Conn, saw the mention and prompt­ ly sent us this version of the dish. (Happy fly­ ing, er eat­ ing -- or whatever!! And, our thanks to Ms. Barry for passing the recipe along ... Wonder if these could be called "Bicentennial birds??") Potted Pigeons 6 pigeons 3 slices bacon Any simpl^ stuffing 1 diced carrot 1 diced onion Chopped parsley Hot water or stock V* cup fat '/* cup flour Buttered toast Clean and dress pigeons, stuff, truss, and place them upright in a stew-pan on the slices of bacon. Add the car­ rot, onion, and a little parsley, and cover with boiling water or stock. Cover the pot closely and let simmer from 2-3 hours, or until tender -- adding boil­ ing water or stock when neces­ sary. Make a sauce of the fat and flour and two cups of the stock remaining in the pan. Serve each pigeon on a thin piece of moistened toast, and pour gravy over all. e> * * Wise consumers know that the highest priced items at the grocery store are those at eye level. It's a smart shopper who looks above and below the high priced items -- without touching the eye level item. Research shows that once a shopper picks up Che item, it's likely to end up in the grocery cart. * * * If you are finding these busy days are a bit too hectic, an automatic dishwasher can really help you make the most of your time.
