Never ‘Stop, drop and Roll’ with a deep-fried turkey
The human brain.
Most of us have one.
For those who don’t, there
are warning labels.
Unfortunately, these warn-
ings don’t appear on actual
individuals.
Instead, they are issued by
the Consumer Product Safety
Commission, which has the
monumental task of thinking
up ways people might injure
themselves using standard
has prompted the commission
to issue a special, multi-paged
consumer alert called:
Fryer, Fryer Pants on Fire.
Using this handy com-
bustible newspaper page, I’ve
organized a safety checklist
from the American National
Standards Institute, which
oversees turkey-fryer safety
standards, as well as any con-
sumer product that includes
the three components of what
safety experts call the
Triangle of Fire:
1) A heat source.
2) A meat product.
3) An intoxicated male.
This brings us to safety tip
number one:
Never leave your turkey
unattended.
Studies show that once the
initial excitement of watching
hot oil has passed, men
quickly get bored and wander
off in search of the nearest
flat-screen TV. So, as a pre-
caution, the standards insti-
tute suggests that wives keep
an eye on their turkey at all
times — or, at the very least,
until he’s done using the deep
fryer.
Tip number two:
Always use turkey fryers
outdoors.
Given the opportunity, men

Genealogical Soc. to present
‘Black Suitcase Mystery’
Author Gail Elliott Downs
will be speaking to the Siuslaw
Genealogical Society on
Wednesday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m.,
at the Siuslaw Public Library,
about her book “The Black
Suitcase Mystery.”
The mystery was the story
of the World War II airman,
her distant relative, who wrote
the letters and what happened
to him, his crew and his young
bride.
The real life mystery of the
letters in the suitcase took four
years to solve. The sleuthing
began in 1991, the first year of
the 50th anniversary of World
War II, as part of an assign-
ment given to fifth graders by
Downs, who was then a school
librarian in Missouri.
The purpose of the assign-
ment was not only to learn
about World War II and the
importance of family history,
but to also teach research tech-
niques to the young student by
using primary sources — in
this case the 200 letters in the
Downs family black suitcase.
What the students discov-
ered and recovered over the
four years of their research
was a poignant story of love
against the backdrop of a far-
away war, in particular the
experiences of B-24 Liberator
bomber crews.
The project, which started
out as a simple school library
assignment, eventually gar-
nered national attention and
resulted in history exhibitions
and programs for veterans.
President Clinton even men-
tioned the group’s work in a
1994 Memorial Day speech.
The event is free and open
to the public, and copies of
The Black Suitcase Mystery
will be available for purchase
from Downs at the conclusion
of the discussion.
Refreshments, including a
cake made from a World War
II era recipe without eggs,
milk or butter, will be provid-
ed.

And finally, tip number
three:
Don’t move fryer while it is
in operation.
You should always wait
until the oil is completely
cooled before moving your
fryer.
The only exception to this,
of course, is if your wife
catches you cooking in the
living room.

will set up their turkey fryer
in the living room in order to
watch football while cooking.
This is dangerous because,
should his team score at the
wrong moment, there’s a
good chance the turkey will
get spiked into the fryer.
And hey, even if you man-
age to avoid this hazardous
situation, there’s also your
home’s resale value to consid-
er — meaning that, should
you ever decide to sell,
describing your home to a
potential buyer as having
“three bedrooms, two baths
and a pleasant fried-turkey
smell” will, in many cases,

While the commission gen-
erally stays ahead of the
curve with the help of
researchers, lab studies and a
select group of retired circus
chimps, from time to time a
product is embraced so tightly
by the general public that
there’s simply no time to
warn them that actually
embracing it could result in
serious injury.
According to the safety
commission, reports of house
fires involving large men sub-
merging whole turkeys into
deep fryers has risen dramati-
cally in the past decade. This
