Armv nartod with onp this weplt I
at Seattle.
It is a recipe for oyster stuffing
for the big torn turkeys averag
ing 2S pounds that will be served
to soldiers all over the world who
are away from home at Christ
mas. The cooking staff at Fort Law
ton, the overseas troop and sup
ply cantonment which services
the Seattle Port of Embarkation,
gave out the "inside" informa
tion with the idea that Mom
might like to tell her family this
Yuletide:
'The stuffing in our turkey is
exactly the same kind Johnny is
eating in his Christmas dinner
at Camp."
Pacific Coast oystermen have
been rushing thousands of
pounds of fresh oysters, frozen
in 6-pound cans, to Army cen
ters in time for distribution. R.
Bailey, president of the Willa-
point Oyster corporation in Seat
tip said his firm nut on extra
workers and added a night shift
W ' at several plants in order to be
gjjj 1 sure that GI Joe gets his turkey
properly stuffed.
Here is the official recipe, to
i serve 100, according to Capt. G.
B. Pierce, post mess officer:
1 2 gallon oysters
5 lbs. chopped celery
2 12 lbs. finely chopped on
ions 3 lbs. fat for frying
24 lbs. soft bread crumbs
112 oz. poultry seasoning

May every gift you receive be
one of happiness and good
cheer. From the warmth in our
hearts to the warmth in your
homes, we wish you the mer
riest of Christmas's and all
good wishes for the New Year!
GONTY'S
2 oz. salt, 12 oz. pepper
8 oz. parsley
Fry celery and onions until par
tially cooked, add bread crumbs,
poultry seasoning, salt, pepper
and parsley. Mix well. Place in
greased baking pan, cover with
parchment paper. Heat oysters in
own liquid until edges begin to
curl. Drain, add to recipe for
dressing. Bake in moderate oven,
350 degrees Fahrenheit, about 1
to 1 12 hours.
And here is the master menu
for Christmas dinner to be served
all Army men and women on
land, in case families at home
would like to reproduce it:
Celery Hearts, Green Olives,
Sweet Pickles Iced Tomato Juice
Cocktail Roast Turkey, Oyster
Dressing, Giblet Gravy Cran
berry Sauce Virginia Baked
Ham Candied Sweet Potatoes,
Snowflake Potatoes Buttered
Green Beans, Buttered Kernel
Corn Lettuce Hearts with French
Dressing Parker House Rolls-
Pumpkin Pie, Mincemeat Pie,
Fruit Cake Cigarets, Salted
Nuts, Hard Candles Coffee, Milk
and Sugar.
Troops on ships at sea will get
about the same dinner, according
to Tom Svendson, steward of the
Seattle Port of Embarkation. Ship
cooks are civilians and individ
ualists, he added, but each prides
himself upon his virtuosity in the
galley.
Army, Navy and Marine Corps
menus are made up weeks, some
times months, in advance and
supplies ordered for the feasts
of the year. There was a rush,
in the item of the turkey dressing,
because of the late oyster crop,
caused by tardy spawning, on
the Pacific coast.

PENSION REGULATIONS
EASED FOR VETERANS
Veterans over 55 years of age
who have non-service connected
disabilities may now qualify for
Veterans Administration pensions
under recent regulation changes,
the VA reports.
VA regulations now specify
that a veteran, age 55, with a
non-service connected disability
rating of 60 percent for one or
more disabilities permanent in
nature, and who is unemployable,
may be considered permanently
and totally disabled for VA pen
sion purposes. Previously, a dis
ability rating of 60 percent for
one permanent disability, or a
combined rating of 70 percent
with one or more ratable at 40
percent, was required.
At age 60, veterans may qual
ify for VA pensions if they have
non-service connected disabili-
ties rated 50 percent in degree
and are unable to follow a sub
stantially gainful occupation be
cause of the disability. At age 65,
the disability requirement is only
10 percent.
The VA emphasizes that the
regulation change affects only
pensions for non -service connect.
ed disabilities, as distinguished
from the compensation paid for
service-connected ailments.
Information or applications for
VA pensions under the new rules
may be obtained from the near
est VA office.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Q. Does the Veterans Adminis
tration provide flago to next of
kin of deceased veterans?
A. Yes. Flags are issued by the
VA to drape the casket of a de
ceased veteran and afterwards
given to the next of kin.

FIRST ACCIDENT MAY
CAUSE A SECOND, WORSE
A reminder that one accident
on the street or highway may
often cause another was issued
to motorists today by Secretary
of State Earl T. Newbry.
He pointed out that the second
accident is often worse than the
first, because of bystanders on
Jj; ! the scene forgetting proper safe-
Vjjj ; ty precautions.
ifS "Our accident records are spot
ted with deaths and injuries oc
curring when approaching ve
hicles crash into pedestrians or
vehicles at the scene of a pre
vious mishap," Newbry said.
"Frequently a victim who might
otherwise have lived will be
struck and killed by another car
before he can be removed."
By keeping this hazard in
mind when involved in an acci
dent, motorists can do much to
prevent this trouble, he declared.
Every effort should be made to
warn approaching cars and to
clear the roadway as quickly as
1 possible when police assistance
is not available. Drivers nearing
an accident scene should slow
down well in advance.
The danger is particularly ac
ute at night, and passenger car
drivers carrying flares or signal
A gangster rushed into a sal
oon shooting right and left, yell
ing, "all you dirty bums get outa
here."
The customers fled in a hail of
bullets all except an English
man, who stood at the bar slomly
finishing his drink.
"Well?" snapped the gangster,
waving his smoking gun.
"Well," remarked the English
man, "there certainly were a lot
of them, weren't there?"
GIRL SCOUT TROOP Ii
HOLD SANNUAL PATRY
Girl Scout Troop II held its an
nual Christmas party at the
home of Mrs. Floyd Adams, which
was beautifully decorated for the
occasion.
Dinner was served by the load
ers and troop committee, then
followed games and gifts from
the Christmas tree.
Soon, this troop will be five
years old. We are working on the
"Clothing" and "Good Grooming"
badges in the homemaking field.
Recently Troop II sent $2.50 to the
Juliette Low World Friendship
fund, and $5.00 to the Girl Scout
camp near Wind mountain. Girls
of this troop still hear from the
troop of Girl Guides in England,
to whom we sent twelve boxes of
food a year ago. One of the
Guides recently sent a gift to our
troop a history of the Girl Guide
movement that she had written
herself, and illustrated with
pasted in pictures. It is very un
usual. The girl whosent this his
tory was Margaret Eileen Cooper,
whose first letter to our troop
was published in
over two years ago.
