Americans are traditionally wise food shoppers, and the popularity of turkey proves it. First, turkey is an excellent budget stretcher. There are no better meat buys in the market today. Second, it's nutritious. Turkey has less fat and yet more protein than most other cooked meats. Third, and an important consideration during the busy holiday season, turkey is a time-saver. ' In planning your holiday feast, keep in mind the fact that whole turkeys range in size from six to more than 30 pounds, are available fresh or frozen and may be prebasted. If you allow one pound of turkey per person, you will have plenty for the dinner and some for your favorite left-over recipes. If turkey is frozen, leave in original bag and thaw in refrigerator for 3 to 4 days (24 hours for each 5 pounds of or cover with cold water, changing water frequently (1/2 hour per poUnd of turkey). Refrigerate or cook turkey as soon as thawed. For your 6-minute turkey, simply follow these easy steps. Remove plaatic wrap from thawed turkey, remove giblets and neck from body cavities, rinse turkey inside and out, pat dry with paper towel, return legs to hock lock or band of skin, and skewer neck skin to back. Place turkey breast side up on rack in foil-lined pan. Place a tent of aluminum foil loosely over turkey to prevent over- browning.

There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) Can't Shake This Feeling Off Q. My problem is depression, and believe me, it has to be the worst feeling in the world. I have no more or less .problems than the next pert on but feel so inferior that I sit most of the day doing only what I must. Nothing anyone says helps. There is much to be thankful for but I can't shake this feeling off. A. If "nothing anyone says helps," if would seem hardly worthwhile to try to answer your question. For perhaps you are determined not to be helped. If that is the case, you will simply go on being unhappy and depressed. As to inferiority, it is a common feeling many people have, but those who handle it, and most do, go on and live normal lives. When you live normally despite feeling depressed, depression has a tendency to fall away and as it does you become better able to cope. If you will deliberately start thinking encouraging thoughts you can in time change your thought patterns. Unless, of course, you actually want to remain as you are. This would metin that you secretly love misery. Didn't Know He Was Sick Q. I am in dreadfufsorrow. It is more than I can endure. My husband and I had just finished our morning chores and he was showing me what he was doing when he dropped dead of a heart attack. I didn't know he was so sick. How could I have been so blind? My God, my God, how can I go on? I am in shock and I want to take my life. I'm almost 80 years old. I am a lost soul. A. You are not a lost soul. Think of it this way: You lived a happy life with your husband. Then one morning, as you were doing chores, God took him home, painlessly and lovingly. He was not sick and you were not blind. His time had come and in a very peaceful way he went home to God. So instead of being self-critical, just give thanks that you were so nice to him, carrying on your life in a normal manner to the very end. Don't begrudge him his beautiful experience and thank God for having had him. Out of the Question I love to dance and go places with inen, but I hate the end of the night. I have very high morals about sex before marriage. How do I go about telling men I enjoy their company, but the bed is out of the question? I'm 24 years old, divorced and have no children. I have a pretty outgoing personality, and I guess some people think I have different feelings for them than I really do. I'm sure the problem lies within myself and would like very much to change it. A. As an intelligent young woman you don't have to ask what to do! Just tell them straight out that you don't go to bed with anybody. Period. If they don't like it, don't worry about it. You can conclude that they don't have the capacity to appreciate anything beyond sex. And if they did persuade you, after a few sessions they would go for somebody else. There are still lots of decent fellows who like a girl for who she is and not merely for her body. If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling.

What could be more traditional than the celebration of Christmas? Yet tradition means dif ferent things to different people. In Victorian times, as in our own, Christmas might mean a happy family gathering around grand mother's holiday table - for civilians. But for the soldiers of the Queen's ar my, Christmas was a boisterous and high-spirited event, celebrated with military style. Parades, games, gifts and songs expressed the irrepressible spirit of an army Christmas. As for discipline, even the sternest martinet tended to look the other way. Christmas was so unlike the other 384 days of the year that almost anything could happen. Everything that required planning - decorations, food - was carried out by volunteer committees. Three days early, Yuletide decorations were made to enliven the otherwise spartan barracks. Christmas wreaths were crafted with bunches of holly and laurel, sparking the entire camp with festive color and cheer. Paper chains, pasted together with flour and water from the kitchen, spangled the hallways. Regimental crests, made on cardboard shields, were proudly displayed. By Christmas Eve, most of the preliminaries were taken care of and by nightfall bottles of spirits were broken out and the serious festivities began. Gifts and cards from home were opened and passed around and the men exchanged presents with one another. Christmas morning began at dawn with the bugler's reveille, bringing the men pouring out of the barracks, pulling on their pants, cheering and swearing, and exchanging greetings noisily. A breakfast of bread and coffee helped brighten the morning and chase away grogginess from the night before. From a corner of the barracks yard, the regimental band then struck up a rousting version of "The British Grenadiers." Cheers and songs and greetings echoed everywhere and hands extended in friendship and good will to anyone nearby. The church parade got much and back hoot underway at ten o'clock when officers fell in with their companies - armed with prayerbooks instead of rifles. Full dress was required, though on this special occasion an askew hat or two or improperly buttoned pants might nave reprimand. who were too for drink i march were sent irracks amidst jeers from carolling church / Services were rushed off to hang more roll out beer rind send up supplies for the main event - Christmas dinner. Minutes seemed like hours as friend joined friend to share a drink and smoke until the bugler's dinner call. A few grumbled that the cook had "gorn on leaf', or "p'raps the damn bugler is too drunk to blow the call." The first note of the dinner call ignited an explosion of hungry soldiers pressing and jostling to get to their tables. Casks of wine and beer, furlongs of sausages, and dozens of Norfolk turkeys were passed around in good cheer. Holly-decorated puddings and mince pies awaited to the side. Before eating commenced, the commanding officer wished them all a Merry Christmas, whereupon the corporal requested per mission to offer the traditional toast. Everyone reached for his glass of sherry while the speech was delivered. Glasses were raised and toasts exchanged back and forth. Then the noisiest and heartiest of meals began. Though a military-style Christmas in the Victorian era was unique, the traditions of good will sharing and gift-giving remain the same. In Vic torian times, gift baskets were themselves a tradition. These contained a personal assortment of keepsakes which had a highly in dividual character. Because they were so personalized, they were remembered long after Christmas.
