Roast Turkey with all the trimmings presents no problem, but often how to vary subsequent meals can be a dilemma. Handy helpmates like packaged enriched pre-cooked rice and frozen mixed vegetables with cream sauce transform day-after turkey into a delicious casserole, hearty enough for the family yet special enough for company. TURKEY-VEGETABLE CASSEROLE 1-1/2 cups hot chicken broth 2 teaspoons butter or margarine 1-1/2 cups rice 1 package (8 oz.) mixed vegetables with onion sauce 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauCe 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups diced cooked turkey 2 slices process American cheese, cut in triangles Combine broth, butter and rice in 1-1/2-quart baking dish. Cover and bake at 450° for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir and move rice to sides of dish. Meanwhile, combine vegetables, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt and turkey in medium saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil; then simmer for 4 minutes. Pour into center of casserole; arrange cheese triangles on top. Bake 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Makes 3 cups plus rice or 4 servings.

THE DIABETIC < National Child Healfi day was observed recently. This proclamation by the president that everyone should be concerned about the health of our children is interesting. We have days for everything else, so having a Child Health day is actually a whole lot more important than Apple day or Peach day or whatever. It is also interesting thai- Child Health day fell in National Diabetes week, which was from Oct. 5 to Oct. 11. Diabetes is a disorder in which the body is unable properly to convert nutrients to energy. Diabetes affects 10 million people in the United States, 1.5 million of whom are juvenile diabetics. Its prevalence is increasing at the rate of 6 percent a year, meaning that an American born today has more than a one in five chance of contracting diabetes. In children the onset of diabetes is particularly swift and severe. The course of the disease is unstable and the problems acute. Diabetes cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. Very often as adults we know we are going to have something, some ache and pain or something in our life that will give us problems. When children discover that they have diabetes, that it will be with them always and that they will have to carry this burden throughout life, very often they display a great deal of anger. It is only natural that they would be angry. They're mad at their doctor, they're mad at their parents because many times this has strong hereditary charac teristics, and sometimes they just plain want to fight it. Diabetes is something that is not obvious to other people either, so they don't get a great deal of sym pathy. Caring for diabetes in a child is a continual thing. It always needs attention, seven days a week, 365 days a year. No vacation; no days off. Sometimes dealing with the anger of a juvenile diabetic is important, too. It is good for a child to understand what makes energy and how his body reacts to all of this. The fuel, or sugar, must get inside the cells to work. Insulin is what opens the cells' fuel intake to let the sugar reach that energy machine. Since a diabetic's pancreas doesn't produce insulin, the sugar in his blood can't get into the m Under New Ownership Sole Dates Nov. 20, 21, & 22 REGISTER TO WIN 1. 15LB TURKEY 2. $5000 GIFT CERTIFICATES Free Sift to First 150 Customers •n each Day of Sale!!! p&mmiej 120% DISCOUNT] on all Hallmark Boxed i|CHRISTMAS/€>i 1 CARDSl:?ik >, When you care enough to send the very best VISIT OUR NEWLY REMODELED SHOP .V W 1238 dV.

Because he cannot make his own, the diabetic receives his insulin from outside the body. He must then match his food to the amount of insulin he receives. So, the food intake or^diet must be paired to work with the amount of insulin taken. That is why diet is so important. If a child or a juvenile follows the rules of the diet and takes insulin, he will be able to live life as normal as the person next docjr. Most children and juveniles need to understand that every individual has different insulin and diet needs, and once these needs are known, they can schedule them and allow for outside activities. Diabetes has been called the "sneaky" disease since symptoms are not always obvious and often nonexistent. Some symp toms that most frequently signal the presence of diabetes can also be in dications of entirely dif ferent disorders. The onset of severe diabetes is characterized by frequent urination, extreme thirst, and constant hunger. The kidneys excrete in creased amounts of water in an effort to remove the excess sugar from the blood, and this leads to frequent urination and extreme thirst. Also, since diabetics do not receive full nourishment from the foods they eat, they are constantly hungry. Other symptoms include tiring easily, losing weight, and itching and slow healing of infections. Remember, any diabetic child can be like any other healthy boy or girl as long as he follows the rules and keeps the diabetes under control. If a diabetic youngster has any sort of "handicap", it's because he doesn't follow the rules for a normal life. They are really very simple: take insulin, stick to your diet, get regular exercise, and follow your doctor's instructions. It's very important that a diabetic has to do for him self. No one else can do it for him. It's all up to the in dividual. It is important that we understand the disease so we can treat it the way it should be treated. Rev.
