Leyte Conditions
Told in Letter by
Lieut. Fred Boyer
An Interesting description of
conditions on Leyte is contained
in a letter received by Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Boyer, Roseourg, from
their son. Lieutenant Fred Boy
er, Jr., who, since writing the let
ter Nov. 9, was hospitalized as a
result of a bullet wound in the
shoulder. Lieutenant Boyer was a
member of the Roseburg Nation
al Guard company and was com
missioned after attending offi
cer's school in Australia. He writ
es: "Last night we had a mild ty
phoon. It was mild because it left
the palm trees and most of the
house. Some of the palm shacks
blew down along with our kitch
en tent. The water didn't come
down as rain; It just seemed to
DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
Another wartime Christ
mas with all that it involves.
How can we expect a Merry
Christmas on a free exchange
of Yuletide greetings in these
circumstances?
"But in despair I hung my
head
There is no peace on earth,
I said
For hate is strong and mocks
the song
Of peace on earth, good will
to men."
We turn to the children, to
whom Christmas belongs,
and of whom the Saviour
said, "Of such is the king,
dom of heaven." Are they
light about expecting Christ
mas and Santa Claus, as they
are so apt to be right about
most important matters? Oh,
yes; for children never har
bour hate. They believe the
best. They never cease to
hope. They enjoy gifts but
they appear to get at least
as much fun out of those they
give as those that they re
ceive. In the name of the
Babe of Bethlehem let us
live to make this more of a
childlike world.
"Then pealed the bells, more
loud and clear
God is not dead nor does He
sleep,
The wrong shall fail, the
right prevail,
Through peace on earth, good
will to men."
And so to one and all, to
all the young men and wo
men in the armed forces "a
Merry .Christmas and a
Happier New Year." Amen.

It was something new to me, but
the natives didn't seem to think
it was anything unusual.
"Getting out of New Guinea is
like taking a trip. I was there so
long it almost seemed like I lived
there.
"This is a lot better country
than any I have seen since I left
the states, with the exception of
one spot in Australia. Farming
keeps the people going, and the
land is rich and well watered.
Rice and corn seem to be the
main crops. The rice is picked by
hand. Men, vomen and kids wade
in about six or eight inches of
water to pick the crop.
Natives Hate Japanese
"This is the first time I have
had a chance to see the direct
effect of war upon civilians. Since
the Japs moved in the people
have had no chance to buy cloth
es of any kind, so they are pret
ty much in rags. Most of them
speak some English and are just
hard working farmers. Every day
several Filipinos come in and
want to joint the army. I have
three in my platoon as scouts.
I Thev can smell a Jap alone
Tney can smeii a jap long oeiore
I even know they are around.
They are just farm boys who
have lost a lot to the Japs and
feel they have a score to settle.
They really think they are some
thing when they get an Ameri
can uniform and a rifle. They are
a me hell) because they know
the country and where the Japs
are apt to be. They get very rest
less when We sit around and they
just eat and sleep."
Lt. Bover witnessed the arriv

Philippines, the first day of the

How to roast a turkey
without a roaster!
It CAKl be doric-chsily hnd without :bkifcin'fc,
too! But first, remember that in buying n turkey
it's wise to figure nbout Jit to 1 lb. dr&wn weight)
per Serving.
To truss the bird (thus
kecpintf it in COrhpiiet
and attractive shape
while roasting):
Fold wings back so the lips are caught in back of
the bird, and tic tightly around the whole bird
using strong cord
Then, using another length of cord, tie firmly
around the end of each drumstick just above the
joint, press them close to the body, unci tic 'them
securely to the tailpiece (as shown above)
dough Blanket roasting
is the next step, and it requires neither roaster
nor basting:
. Have bird trussed nnd ready
2. Place on shallow pan or rtie'tal tray (may go
eater-cornered if bird is large)
'I. Have oven good mid hot (450 l')
4. Mix 4 to 6 cups of flour (depending on size
of bird ) with just enough water to muke stiff
dough; knead slightly
5. Roll out to yt to Yi inch thickness, 'largo
enough to cover bird completely
6. Let dges hang loose don't tuck in (if it
stretches too thin at any point, patch with
extra dough)
7. Put immediately into hot oven
8. Pour 1 cup water into pan; bake about 15
minutes for dough blanket to set.
0. Reduce oven heat to 325" F. hd 'finish
roasting
10. Do not baste, but be sure to keep about 1
cupful of wutcr in pan at all times
. Half an hour before serving lime, brealt the
hard dough blanket by tapping with a ham
mer: remove blanket, bein careful hot to
break the skin.
12. To get desired color, increase heat if neces
sary and continue cooking uncovered.
Roasting time depends on the size of the bird;
the Jurger tho turkey for example, the -fewer
minutes per pound needed for 'tender results.
Turkeys weighing from 14 to 25 lbs. require
about 4 H hours at 325 .; from 8 to 13 lbs,,
nbout 3 j hours.
Large birds are "done" when tines of. fork
easily enter the thick part of the drumstick or
when, after you've grasped the end bone df the
drumstick the joints in the thigh break or move
easily.
