Prospects for chromite
smelter look bright
A chromite condenser
and smelter for the John Day
region now seems a reality
according to a telephone con-
versation with judge Allen this
week from Arnold Muck of
Portland, who with others are
planning to erect the necessary
equipment to handle the Grant
county chromite and manga-
nese products. It has been found
that the chromite in our section
is not too hard to smelter. It
takes time to work out precess
in converting the raw product
into metals, but the men who
are promoting the venture are
now asking for a 32 acre tract
of land just outside the city lim-
its of John Day for the plant.
The Chamber of Commerce of
that city have offered the tract
as their willingness to help en-
courage the enterprise.

The Loveable Turkey
Once upon a time there was
a turkey and a man. One day
the man went hunting, and he
saw a turkey in the woods. He
tried and tried to catch the tur-
key. He tried so hard that he
was almost out of breath. But
soon he had to stop. Finally he
just went to the store. He went
home with a lovely turkey. He
took the turkey and put it in
the oven for his family to eat
on Thanksgiving day. He put
it in the oven for 22 minutes.
After it was over, he took it
out of the oven. Then they ate
it. The end. — Tabitha Burk
Juicy Hot Turkey
First you have to get a tur-
key and stick it in the oven for
189 degrees. Then put a dash
of pepper and a tablespoon
of French wine and a dash of
seasoning salt, some horse-
radish and a teaspoon of wine
over the turkey. Cook for 81
minutes and you’re done. —

Turkey Dinner
Get stuffi ng and stuff the
turkey. Heat the oven to 500
degrees and then cook the
turkey for three hours. Take it
out. Then if you want, you can
eat it, if you want to have fun.

The Thanksgiving Din-
ner
First, go to the store and
buy the turkey. Then get vin-
egar, pepper, salt, spices and
sugar. A cup of fl our too. Then
you’re ready to put it on the
turkey. Now cook it for seven
hours. When it’s done, get it
out of the oven to put on the
table. — Destiny Burrill
How to Cook a Turkey
First buy a turkey. Then
put stuffi ng, vinegar, coke and
beer into the turkey. Put a ta-
blespoon of fl our and a cup of
juice in the pan. Fry him in the
pan for 100 minutes. Yum! —
Robby Rachau
Turkey Dinner
Get the pan. Heat up the
pan to 500 degrees. Get the
turkey and put the turkey in
the oven. Then I take the tur-
key out and put stuffi ng in it.

A Delicious Turkey
You get a tablespoon and
then you get a cup of water.
You get a teaspoon and then
you get the stuffi ng. Then you
cook the turkey in the oven,
but fi rst you get your shot-
gun, but fi rst you go hunting
for a turkey. You shoot it and
you bring it home. — Willie
Coleman
The Thanksgiving Turkey
First you go to the store
and buy a rifl e, a .22-250.
Then you go hunting. If you
want a boy turkey you dress
like a girl, and if you want a
girl turkey you dress like a
boy. You shoot him, you chop
his head off, you take the guts
out and clean him. You put it
in the oven for two hours at 50
degrees. Then take it out and
chow down like a hound. The
end. — Rob Pendarvis
Juicy Hot Turkey
Ingredients: one cup sugar,
two tablespoons vinegar, one
tablespoon orange juice. Put
all these in a pan and then put
the turkey in the pan. Put the
turkey in the oven and cook it
at 100 from 5:00 to 7:00. —
