Saran, Fox River Grove. TURKEYS NEED SHORTER TIME TO'COOK TODAY Homemakers no longer need to roast turkey as long as many cookbooks say. As a result of developments in production practices, turkeys are more tender than they used to lie, explains Mrs. Glcnna Lamkin, I'niversiry of Illinois home economiist. She suggested the following guide, based on purchase weight, for estimatiing roasting time for stuffed birds that are fresh or completely thawed: 6 to 8 pounds, 2 to 2l/2 hours; 8 to 12 pounds, 2Vss to 3 hours; 20 to 24 pounds, 4Va to 5Vs hours. Adjust cooking time to individual birds. Roast turkeys in a pre-heated oven at 300 to 325 degrees F. The turkey is done when a meat thermometer placed in the center of the inside thigh muscle or the thickest part of the breast muscle registers about 185 degrees F. Also, the thickest part of the drumstick feels very soft when pressed between protected fingers. Time roasting accurately. Prolonged cooking makes a dry bird. Two ways to keep the turkey breast juicy during cooking are to (1) brush on fat at the beginning of cooking and baste occasionally with pan drippings; or (2) keep a fat-saturated cheesecloth over the breast. Some people feel that the breast dries out less when the turkey is placed breast down for one-half to two-thirds of the cooking and then turned over for the rest of the time to even up the brownness. This is easier to do with small birds than with large ones. Cook fresh or thawed turkey promptly. Stuff it just before cooking. Leaving a stuffed bird at room temperature overmight invites food poisoning. When buying a whole turkey, be sure it is plump and has a broad breast, indicating ample white meat. It should also be compact, have smoothtextured skin and be free from discoloration and bruises. Check to make sure that the wrapping around frozen birds is intact at the time of purchase. Broken wrappings let in air and thus lower the quality of the bird. Thaw frozen birds in the original wrapping in the refrigerator, allowng about two days. Do not thaw at room temperature. If you must hasten defrosting, place the bird in cold water and change the water frequently. vflec whi COLLECT FOR NEEDY The Jayceetes, newly formed women's auxiliary of the McHenry Junior Chamber of Commerce, are collecting canned goods to be given to a needy family in the McHenry area for Christmas.

LETTERS OF LATE PRESIDENT PRIZED BY McHENRY MAN In the midst of the sadness which swept over the community in recent days, Alderman William Bolger of McHenry must take special pride in a cherished scrapbook containing communications with the late President John F. Kennedy, as well as numerous pictures. The first was a Christmas greeting card, containing the family photo, sent in 1957, when he was a U.S. Senator. One of the most recent was a memento of the inaugural ball on Jan. 20, 1961, in Washington, D.C., attended by Mr. and Mrs. Bolger. One of the letters was sent to Mr. Bolger in January of 1958 and contained this message: "Thank you very much for your thoughtful letter of Dec. 28 and for the comments it contained about my career. Although I am a candidate pnly for the Senate from Massaphusettes this year, it is indeed gratifying to know df your f r i e n d s h i p a n d s u p p o r t . ' ^ Another communication in May of 1959 included these words: "Because of your prominence in the affairs of the Democratic party, I am taking the liberty of enclosing my final remarks on the Senate's action, in the hope that they might be useful to you in explaining the bill." Other excerpts from letters were as follows: January 27, 1960: "Just a note to thank you for your expression of support in my candidacy. You may be sure your confidence and support are a source of great encouragement." April 20, 1960: "Heartiest congratulations on your election as delegate to the Democratic national convention. I certainly look forward to seeing you again. I know your support will be extremely valuable and it will be good to work with you in the months which lie ahead." May 23, 1960: "It is good of you to extend an invitation to McHenry. I will make every effort to be in the northern section of Illinois some time in the next few months." Some crossbows were used during the War of 1812.

We are truly grateful. The Family of Clarence R. Draper *11-27-63 Ever notice--when you get in trouble--something always turns up -- usually, noses of your acquaintances?? smart-cuts for women I by Maggie Lovewell I Want to SHARPEN THAT SCISSORS real easy? Just cut thru some fairly fine sandpaper, slashing several times, and they'll be all set for the holiday cutting you're planning. "Fur" goodness sakes, girls, TAKE CARE OF YOUR FURS. They'll last so much longer if you don't store overly long in a garment bag. They get crushed, and the lack of air dries them out. Friction from handbagstraps on sholders or sleeves causes Wear, so carry your purse by handle. Most important, never dry wet over direct heat. Hang on hanger in airy place (never in closet). Don't brush or comb it, just shake to fluff. Perlume iust dries out furs, and cleaning fluids can ruin them--so send them to the cleaners. SMART Y-CUT: Keep sectional sofa from sliding apart --put a door hook and latch on back of legs. Serving turkey7 Tiy using new PIPE CLEANERS TO TIE TURKEY legs and wings. Yiu'll have no knots to bother with, and the ends twist easily. By the way, you can KEEP THAT SLICING BOARD FROM SLIDING away from you while you're carving up Old Tom. Just stick four or five rubberhead ticks into the underside of your board. Or for permanent non dip, cement a pair of rubber preserve jar rings onto the board. Here are the "NUT"-TIEST HINTS you've seen in a long time: TO BLANCH NUTS --Pour boiling water over nuts (after they're shelled) and let stand until skins loosen. For crispy nuts, spread blanched nutmeats in pan and dry for few hours in warm oven. TO SHELL NUTS --Freeze nuts for a couple days, then remove and crack immediately (nutmeats will come out in larger pieces). Or try pouring boiling water over the nuts and letting stand' for half hour. TO SERVE NUTS -- Add chopped nutmeats to turkey stuffings, salads, muffins, cakes, cookies. And for a really tasty snack treat, make a ,'NUT DIP" with whole nutmeats, using fruit sauces, Maple syrup, ice cream and dessert toppings, etc., as "lips." Watch for Maggie every week! Another advantage to 'loving and losing' -- you don't have to help sleepy kids get arithmetic. Nine new members were initiated into the Catholic Daughters of America at the meeting of Court Joyce Kilmer on Thursday evening, Nov. 21, Mrs. Lucille Marcheschi of DeKalb, district deputy of the court, was introduced and gave a short talk. • Fr.
