Which of these letters did your soldier get?
By KATHLEEN
NORRIS
SOLDIER stationed in
Guadalcanal sent me a
letter from his wife this !
week. Another soldier, this j
one now in Sicily, also sent ;
me a letter from his wife.
:
The first man merely wrote ;
largely on the margin of the '
letter, "My gosh, this is cer- l
tainlv a swell rat-race to fight j
for!"
The other s o l d i e r ' s !
note said: "Of course every- !

Traditional Thanksgiving turkey

feast can have all

Though
your

food c a n be done
to a turn, the frills m a y b e just as

to a new height.
Let the c h a r m of your dinner lie
in its simplicity. Get the most out
of your food and p r e p a r e it to deliciousness.
The s a m e vegetables
t h a t you had with turkey can go
with chicken—if turnip puffs or corn
pudding or squash or sweet potato
and apples a r e a tradition in your
family.
P r e p a r e your chicken with t h e
s a m e care you would give turkey
and it will look as nice and taste
just wonderful. I t ' s easy enough to
truss chicken properly so that it
will look nice. H e r e ' s one way of
doing it:
Trussing Chicken.
Insert trussing needle through
body of chicken below knee joint and
pull cord through; continue cord
through wings. Tie tightly to hold
wings close to body. Stuff neck
opening of chicken with stuffing and
tuck neck skin under cord. Use another piece of cord, and insert needle through legs' r e a r joint. Stuff
body cavity and truss opening with
truss pins or cord. Draw cord from
legs around tail piece and tie legs
down close to body.
