Hamblin Tells
Importance !
Of Christmas
i.. . it .
Because it emphasizes the . im
portance of small things and gives
men a hope beyond the prospects
of mere humanity, Christmas Is a
season when home is especially
dear and when, even in war time,
the eyes of the world search for a
bright dawn, the Rev. Chester W.
Hamblin pointed out as he spoke
Thursday noon before the Salem
Lions .club. : T U: - , h .
The very fact that" Christmas
customs vary in every home and
community means that Paris nor
London nor any other city can sat
isfy men and women who! art
away from their homes this! year,
Hamblin, new pastor of Salem's
PAGE SEVEN .
First Presbyterian church, de-
dared t
But certain aspects of the day
and its meaning have gone with
representatives V of : this country
Wherever they Joay . serve, . he
maintained, terming the vision to '
see beyond the tasks of war a free,
future worth fighting for "the
Stardust .on the shoulder".
The -humble birthplace of tha
Christ child has overshadowed the
grandeur ' of an all-but-forgotten
Caesar, he pointed out, From the
filth and degradation of the low- '
est society of England came Dick- ,
ens 'Christmas Carol" and the
Chrismas story today puts a glow
about men that Is visible and con- -tagious,
Hamblin declared.
Twenty-ve members! of the
high school chorus, v directed by
Lena Belle Tartar, sang Christ
mas carols In the Marion hotel
lobby and Joined the luncheon,

ther music. ..' '. r

against a goal of $6.30 per child,
set by national headquarters for
the -drive. . '
The Leslie campaign was con
ducted by members of the Girls'
League, under the direction of
Madeline Hanna. A contest be
tween roll rooms spurred sales,
with room 100 winning. Mrs.

to roast a
without a roaster!
IT CAN be done easily arid without bastinf,
too! But first, remember that in buying a turkey
it's wise to figure about J 1 to 1 lb. (drawn weight)
per serving. .
To truss the bird (thus
keeping it "in compact
and attractive shape
while roasting):
Fold wings back so the tips are" caught in back of
the bird, and tie 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, and tie them
securely to the tailpiece (as shown above
DOUGH BLANKET ROASTINO
is the next step, and it requires neither roaster"
nor basting: I
. Have bird trussed and ready
2. Place on shallow pan or metal tray (may go
eater-cornered if bird is large)
- J.-Have oven good and hot (450 F.)
4. Mix 4 to 6 cups of flour (depending on size
of bird) with just enough water to make stiff -dough;
knead slightly
Roll out to H to Yi inch thickness, large
enough to cover bird completely
Let edges 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.'
9. Reduce oven beat to 325 F. arid finish
roasting. "'" . " v
10. Do not baste, but be ure to keep about 1
cupful of water in pan at all times
11. Half an hour before serving time, break the
hard dough blanket by tapping with a ham
mer; remove blanket, being careful not to
- break the skin. . , ;
2. To get desireeTcolor, increase heat if necea-
' sary and continue cooking uncovered.
Roasting time depends on the size of the bird;
the larger the turkey, for example the fewer
minutes per .'pound needed for tender results.
Turkeys weighing from 14 to 25 lbs. require
about Alt hours at'325 F.; from 8 to 13 lbs.,
about 3 j hours.r .
Large birds tre-"done" when tines of fork
easily enter the thick part of the drumstick or
when, after you've grasped the end bone of the
drumstick the joints in the thigh break or move
easily. . y . ; , .
