Early New Models Seen As
Stimulant to Christmas

Unltl Press staff Correspondent
DETROIT, Dec. 20. (UP) More
ihlny new automobiles are going to
be found In Yule atocltlngs Christ
mas morning than ever before, ac
cording to optimistic statements of
manufacturers of all types and class
es of transportation.
The two month earlier showing of
ntw models this year made this type
ot buying possible for the first time
In history and manufacturers report
orders "for Christmas delivery" as the
heaviest ever experienced.
New Models Appeal
D. E. Ralston, vice president and
general sales manager of Oldsmoblle.
explained that In past years husbands
and fathers have been reluctant to
make Christmas gifts of automobiles
to their families because new models
were usually announced In January.
Ke said that response of the public to
the fall announcement had been
nothing short of remarkable and
that In his own company twice as
many cars were sold In November
this year as In January of last year
when new models were Introduced.
' "A mani now can buy a car with
assurance It wont be out of date In
January,' he added.
New Cadillac Record
In the more expensive lines, Don
Aherns. Cadillac sales manager, re
ports that 50 per cent of the orders
dealers were wiring to the factory
specified that the cars be shipped In
time for Christmas delivery. He said
that Cadlllac-LaSalle delivered more
automobiles last month than In any
month since May, 1930 three times
greater than for the same month last
year.
And the Christmas buying Is not
confined to automobiles . but has
spread to automobile equipment pro
tiucta. Manufacturers report demands
(or radios, heaters and clocks surpass
any period they remember.
New Peaks Attained
One after another the manufactur
ers are turning In reports ot record
breaking Nbvemtert, both from the
point of sales and manufacture. Bulck
will build more than 100,000 cars this
year for the first time since 1930
with December production alone call
ing for 16.000 units. Harlow Curtice,
president, predicts average Bulck pro
duction next year will be 14.000 a
rronth. Delivery of 8.459 cara In the
first 10 days of December surpassed
any like period In the history of the
company, easily topping the former
peak of 3,395 units delivered In the
first 10 days of December 1926 the
ytar Buiek built more than a quar
ter million cars.
Truck Business Up
Indicative of Increased public de
mand Is the Interest In the revolu
tionary Stout Scarabs. According to
the manuf acturera of the "car of the
future," orders for the super-streamlined
auto have been so large manu
facture has been speeded to the ut
most by Increasing personnel and ma
chinery. In the truck nd commercial deliv
ery field, business Is on the upturn
also. Plymouth, this week, announced
a new one-half ton commercial de
livery car, marking the first time the
company has entered that field. D.
8. Eddlns. announcing the model, de
clared gains In retail trade prompted
his company's decision to go Into the
commercial field.
In the same group, Reo has Increas
ed Its truck designs to the point
where C. A. Trlphagen, sales manager,
raid hla company'a modela were pre
miered to handle more than 98 per
cent of all modern transportation
needs.

Stuff the Turk with Oysters
-By Jane Rogers-
m STANDS for Turkey and
J. Turkey stands (or Thanks
giving I
At least some such simple rea
soning would appear In every
primer o( the kitchen.
Of course, the proud gobbler Is
not the only bird that can grace
the Thanksgiving board In spite of
traditional die-hards who insist
upon "Turkey or nothing." They
don't really mean It: (or duck,
goose and chicken as well as
many game birds taste as good
well, almost as good at the
.Thanksgiving dinner.
As much care, however, 'must be
taken In selecting and preparing
the proper stuffing, (or a bird with
out stuffing Is like celery without
salt. There are stuffings and then
more stuffings, and each has Its
own longing admirers. But an
Ideal stuffing which has had the
place of honor In many a fashion
able (owl Is the Oyster Stuffing.
The delicate seafood flavor com
bines superbly with the (owl be It
turkey, duck or goose. -And there
are many men and women, too,
who like their bird nicely tuffe
with Ovster Dressing. This Is eas
ily achieved by following the teste
recipe:
Oyster Stuffing
4 cups ion bread 1 tablespoon lemon
crumb! Juleo
Pi cup melted butter 2 tablespoons
2 teaspoons aalt mtneed pepper
H teaspoon pepper 1 pint oysters
Mix bread crumbs with melted
butter, add seasonings and oysters.
Mix well. This quantity Is enough
for a tour-pound chicken and may
be doubled tor a ten-pound turkey.
Those who prefer dressing wltb
the old-fashioned "nutty" flavoi
can build around Brazil nuts, ai
follows:
Brazil Nut Stuffing
2 ontoni Salt and pepper
Vt oup melted butter Saga or other herbs
2 cups sliced BraaU 8 cupa soft bread
nuta crumbs
Mince onions and cook two mln
utes In the butter. Mix Bratil nuti
and seasoning with bread crumbs
and stir Into butter. Cook two min
utes more, stirring constantly. II
a moist stuffing Is desired, add
little water. This amount of stuffing
Is enough (or a ten-pound turkey.

LONGER DAYS TO
Unofficially, but according to cus
tom, tomorrow, will be the beginning
of winter and the shortest day of the
year.
The weather bureau, however, will
not concede that such is the ease.
Winter will begin officially on Sun
day, the bureau Insisted today. Only
meteorologists don't call It that. They
refer to It as the beginning of tht
winter .solstice, which for all prac
tical purposes Is the same thin.
Neither would the bureau grant
that tomorrow will be the shortest
day. Monday was the "bureau's choice
as the shortest day of the year. On
Monday, bureau officials said, the
aun will befltn Its return toward the
equator, and that's how they know
It will be the shortest day.
The way Medfordltes shivered this
morning, the sun can't get back to
the equator any too quickly.
