Ballet Trip Planned ROAST A TURKEY USING S IX MINUTES OF YOUR T IME A ROOM TO SHARE WITH SPACE TO SPARE. An expanse of hardwood floor creates the illu­ sion of space in a room furnished to delight two young girls. Patchwork quilts on the walls and beds are bright and gay giving the room warmth and sparkle. Bunk beds were separated to meet the individual needs of each child; a canopy for one and a plain one for the other. Each girl has her own desk and they share the large oak table designed for fun and games. The six minutes you will spend getting your turkey ready for the oven may be the most appreciated time you spend for your fsmily this holidsy season. You don't hsve to cook the dressing, potatoes, gravy, yams and cranberries to be a hero -- the turkey's the thing. You can dress up your holiday table with a succulent roast turkey using only six minutes of your time. There's no catch to it. The turkey you buy from your grocer, chilled or frozen, is ready to cook. Here's all you need do: If the turkey is frozen, simply place it in its bag in your refrigerator for three to four days of thawing or cover with cold water, changing water occasionally, for a half hour per pound. Remove the plastic bag, remove the neck and giblets from the cavities, rinse the turkey and pat dry with a paper towel. Place the turkey breast up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. If a meat thermometer is to be used, insert it into the thickest part of the thigh, not touching a bone. Roast at 325° F. When the turkey is beginning to brown, place a foil tent loosely over the breast to prevent excess browning. The turkey is done when the meat thermometer reaches 180o to 185° F. or when the thick part of the drumstick feels soft when pressed with the thumb and forefinger. Consult the roasting instructions on the turkey wrapper or use the following timetable. APPROXIMATE ROASTING TIMES (Unstuffed Turkey) Weight In Pounds Roasting Time @ 325° F.

I t ' s a child 's l i t t le patch of turf in a world inhabited by giants. I t ' s ia place where a child learns and grows. And, more than l ikely, i t ' s a place a child wil l remember, in detai l , throughout l i fe. Every parent t r ies to make a child 's room the perfect environment for growing and learning. Unfortunately, most of us have trouble remem­ bering what i t was l ike to be a small person in a big world. Then, too, the child grows so quickly that what seemed ideal at two is total ly unsuited to a ten- year-old. The room needs to be changed constantly. Concerned and confused parents wil l be delighted with a new book, cal led "A Child 's Place," by design­ er , mother, and author Alexandra Stoddard. I t of­ fers a wealth of information on designing a "place" for children from the nursery through the teens. The key word, according to Ms. Stoddard, is f lexi­ bil i ty. As l i t t le as possible should be f ixed in place at any given period of the growing process. She also advises parents to resist the temptation to f ix-up an elaborate nursery. An* in­ fant 's space needs are only a tr if le bigger than the in­ fant . At this s tage, a cradle or a carriage is a "room." I t is cozy and womb-like which is exactly what a newborn needs. Nurseries are usually designed lor parents, rather than in­ fants. So Ms. Stoddard sug- lacquered in bright colors, gests holding off on furnit _ are currently available in ture and major furnishings , most s tores. Good to look unti l the baby is at the n .at , s turdy and practical . crawling stage. Another thing that parents often tend to overlook is how important the f loor is in a youngster 's room. As Ms. Stoddard points out , the f loor is a child 's table from the t ime he begins to crawl unti l the early teens. The floor and floor space is the focal point of every young child 's room. I t should be able to take a beating and be cleaned up in a j iffy. Ms. Stoddard recommends that old stand-by, the hard­ wood floor. I t can be stain­ ed, s tenciled, colored and changed as the child grows. With a polyurethane f inish, hardwood floors resist spil ls and i l ls and al l the rough treatment youngsters can dish out . Children are born collec­ tors and need as much shelf space as space permits to display the things they own and adore. The advantage of these collect ions is that you really do not need to provide decorative acces­ sories in a child 's room. The things they collect wil l provide al l the decorative touches you need. Furniture in a child 's room should be practical- and durable. Like the f loor, i t should be able to take al l the use and abuse that growing youngsters can dish out .
