One hundred and ninety- three McHenry Senior Citizens were in attendance Monday, Nov. 14, when James Jansen spoke regarding the RTA situation, and the fact that McHenry is not getting any benefits but is paying towards the service. It was again discussed regarding how citizens could help represen­ tatives get what should derive from the RTA or help toward getting out of the RTA situation entirely. It was agreed to send some money to the committee that is working so hard to help Representatives Skinner and Schaeffer in their fight for McHenry county residents' benefits and rights. President Ralph Lockerbie had called the club meeting to order at 7:30 p.m., at East campus cafeteria with mem­ bers reciting the pledge of allegiance to the flag in unison. Mr. Lockerbie then read a portion of an article that ap­ peared in the Nov. 6 issue of the newspaper by Rev. Harold Blake Walker, which was very interesting. Mrs. Clara Knetzer, Loop bus chairlady, urged members who want to go to the Loop Wed­ nesday, Dec. 14, to make their reservations at once, as reservations are going fast. She is also taking reservations for the Jan. 11 bus; and as there is only one meeting in December, quick action is necessary. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap­ proved ; the treasurer's report was read, approved and filed for audit. Mrs. Bertha Quinn, program chairlady, announced that Mrs. Eileen Hansen, from the McHenry County Health department will speak at the Nov. 28 meeting. Mrs. Anne Rehfinger, social chairlady, announced that volunteers to bring cakes are always welcome, however, no cakes are needed for December as there is only the one meeting. Cakes will be needed for the January meetings. John Doerr, tour chairman, advised that the tickets for the bus-luncheon-theater trip to Shady Lane at Marengo to see "Any Wednesday" are going well so make reservations promptly. The date is Wed­ nesday, Dec. 7, and the bus will leave the McHenry State bank at 10:45 a.m. There will be only (Hie bus for this trip. Mr. Doerr asked how many would be interested in going to the Clock Tower museum at Rockford, 111., and the response was very good. This bus- luncheon-museum trip will be Wednesday, Jan. 18; the bus leaving the McHenry State bank parking lot at 9:30 a.m. This should be a most in­ teresting trip as some of the timepieces date back 1200 years B.C. In February he is scheduling a bus-luncheon trip, first to Long Grove "antique town", then on to the Lambs farm at Libertyville for lunch. More information on this trip later. Then in March. Mr. Doerr is trying to schedule a matinee trip to the Shriners circus at Medinah temple in Chicago. This will be sometime the latter part of February or in March. Mr. Zednik, bowling chair­ man, reports bowling is going well, and (irged new members to come and join in the fun. Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary was sung to all members celebrating these events at this time. Mrs. Quinn introduced the program for the evening, which was presented by the McHenry Choral club under the direction of Miss Adele Froehlich. The program was delightful, and consisted of "Christmas Windows", "Christmas Was Meant For Children", Allan Cook, soloist; "The Christmas Song", Carolyn Ritthaler; "Let There Be Peace On Earth", Mary Ann Wegener, soloist; and "Jingle Bell Travelogue". This performance by the Choral Club only whetted in­ terest in seeing the entire Christmas program which will be given Saturday, Dec. 3, and, Sunday, Dec. 4 at 8:15 p.m., at West campus auditorium, entitled "Christmas Windows into the World". Mrs. Louise Giel has tickets. Reservations for the annual Christmas dinner and party Monday, Dec. 12 at 6:30 p.m. at West campus cafeteria should be made at once, as seating is limited.

The next meeting of the club will be Monday, Nov. 28 at 7:30 p.m. at East campus cafeteria. Preparation Precautions Avert Holiday Misfortune Thanksgiving will soon be here, a time when people, gather as families and good friends to have a good time. A part of the Thanksgiving festivities is the consumption of large amounts of food, usually turkey or ham. In order to prevent the time of festivity from becoming a time of sickness, certain precautions should be taken in the preparation of the large din­ ners. Usually large turkeys are purchased in a frozen sate and persons must thaw them properly or they can actually have bacteria multiplying while the turkey is thawing. The proper way of thawing a large turkey is to either thaw it in the refrigerator or in cool running water. In cooking the turkey, it should be cooked all at once, and not started on one day then turning the oven off allowing it to sit in the oven overnight and completing the cooking on the following day. The turkey and its stuffing must be completely heated to at least a tem­ perature of 165 degrees a traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner awaits you.

Fahrenheit (76 degrees C) with no interruption in the cooking process. The safest way to handle dressing is to cook it separately in a shallow pan rather than stuffing it into the bird. This will guarantee that it is cooked at a proper tem­ perature. Once the bird is cooked, it should be kept at a temperature of at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees C) until served. Any cooked or leftover turkey should be immediately placed in a refrigerator and kept at a temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees C) or less. It's advisable to place the turkey in shallow pans so that rapid cooling will be effected. All leftovers should be used within a very short period of time. Ham is another meat which is frequently cooked for Thanksgiving. Even if a smoked, precooked or cured ham is used, the ham should be cooked so that all parts of it reach at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit (67 degrees C). Again, the leftovers should be handled in the same manner as described for the handling of the turkey. Pumpkin pie is probably the most popular dessert for Thanksgiving. When baking pumpkin pie, the process should include heating the innermost part of the pie to at least 190 degrees Fahrenheit (88 degrees C > and once the pie has been cut or the crust or filling broken, the pumpkin pie should be kept refrigerated at 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees C) or below. When serving leftovers, make sure they are served directly out of the refrigerator (cold) or heated to the above temperatures and served hot. Thanksgiving should be a time of giving thanks and en­ joying good food with good friends. If the minor precautions mentioned are taken it will not turn into a time of sickness. Chutph Groups Plan Joint Potluck Dinner Due to unexpected cir­ cumstances the T.H.E.O.S. potluck dinner with "Smiles" at the First Baptist church of McHenry, 509 N. Front street, had to be postponed. A new date now scheduled is for Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 6 p.m. This should be an interesting get-together for the two groups and a very pleasant evening. Members should bring table service and a dish to pass. The December meeting of T.H.E.O.S. will be Dec. 27 at the home of Mae Stinespring. This will be a potluck dinner at 5:30 p.m., and each member is to bring a "white elephant". The sweetest of all sounds is praise. -Zenophon. * cMixUUn Cu%[ <£aIon i Just wishing a big... ^ cJJafifiy LuLrtq to all my customers and thanking you very much for your patronage. 344-1019 1212 N.
