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 ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft! ft! ft! i fti ft ft or- 1 : u May every gift you receive be one of happiness and good cheer.

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. Vets Mail Bag iiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiv 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. as ft ft ft ft ft ft IS If S3 s S3 w S3 If S3 If S3.

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. the Gazette Sally Troop II. Cohn, reporting for 'rom where I sit ...
