.2: Jf y 4 "ten, i STUFFING FOR BIRD Roast turkey, naturally but it is the walnut-sausage stuffing that makes this Thanksgiving bird dif- ferently and especially noteworthy. Crispy walnuts and savory eausage combine for a stuffing that is right out of colonial times The recipe is in today's food column. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT rood Editor Walnut-Sausage Stuffing Gives Colonial Touch to Tranksgiving Bird Thinking of Thanksgiving Day and foods that will be festive, savory, distinctive and not par ticularly difficult of preparation, we keep coming back to the per fectly superb "colonial times" dinner served your foods editor . and 417 other people recently in New York City at the Sheraton . Astor Hotel. Hosts for the occasion were members of the American Spice Irade Association which was founded in 1905 and today in eludes importers, agents, brok ers, grinders or manufacturers of packaged spices who do an an nual spice volume of $150,000, 000. It is interesting that pepper accounts for about one-third of this dollar volume with all . spices gaining in popularity right along. We're a long way from colonial times and our town is a long " way from Williamsburg but here are home-size recipes used at the spice trade dinner based on dishes popular in 1740. And they'll make perfectly wonder ful eating right in your home this week or any week, using our plentiful turkeys, sweet po tatoes, figs, greens, fruits, "nuts and other good things. Start With Savory Soup and Sippets Confidentially, we're going to suggest a condensed tomato soup, using water for thinning instead of spending the day mak ing a savory tomato soup start ing with three pounds of beef knuckle and adding 18 other Ingredients. Just bring that good soup to a simmer, pour into cup or bowls and garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley or "chopped little green onions or chives. Optional: While heating add, a teaspoonful or so of Wor cestershir sauce and maybe a touch of garlic powder. Sippets. Trim the crust from slices of bread. Spread thinly with butter. Cut each slice into three lengthwise strips. Toast in preheated hot oven, 450 degrees. Our fore-fathers enjoyed dunk ing these in the soup, hence the name. Walnuf-Sausage Stuffing Here again we 'take a slight liberty with our recipe of colonial times. We substitute our fine, flavorful, crunchy walnuts for their chestnuts. Ever roast, shell and skin a walnut? Every west coaster knows how to roast a turkey, so we're going to concentrate on the stuffing. . Enough here for a 15 to 18 pound turkey or for a smaller one and an extra-stuffing cas serole, or bake extra stuffing separately in aluminum foil for later enjoyment. Brown one pound sausage meat lightly in skillet along with one cup chopped onion and one cup sliced celery, being sure to drain off all excess fat. Mix with followig ingredients: one-half cup chopped parsley, 3!2 quarts toasted bread cubes, two tea spoons salt, one teaspoon crumb led whole thyme leaves, one tea spoon crumbled whole marjoram leaves, two teaspoons finely crumbled sage leaves, one-half teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, one-half cup diced green olives (optional, but good), two cups chopped walnut meats, one- fourth cup melted butter and one-half cup water or turkey stock from the giblets and neck saucepan. Fill turkey cavity and neck with this mixture, handling with a light touch and allowing for expansion. Use leftover stuffing as suggested above. Mushroom-Giblet Gravy This to be served and passed in a gravy boat so each can help himself acording to his notion for topping the stuffing or on whipped potatoes. Our American ancestor-cooks gave gravy and stew a rich brown color with sugar or flour browned in but ter. We think kitchen bouquet does the iob beautifully. Saute a few fresh or canned' mushroom pieces or slices ana two teaspoons minced onion in three tablespoons turkey fat or butter. Blend in three table spoons flour; add three cups tur key stock (made by simmering neck and giblets until tender), salt, black pepper and tiny bit of garlic powder, then all those good cooked giblets, chopped, and one-half teaspoon or more of kitchen bouquet. Cook until slightly thickened. Stir in two hard-cooked chopped eggs. Sweet Potato Souffle Our fine sweet potatoes or yams take on holiday distinction when fixed like this. Six serv ings, so plan one or two cas seroles according to family-and-company at table.

'spoons butter, one-fourth tea spoon salt, one-fourth teaspoon ground allspice, one-fourth tea spoon ground cardamon seed, two tablespoons sugar. Separate two eggs, having them at room temperature for best results. Beat egg yolks well and fold into the potato mixture. Whip egg whites until they stand in soft peaks. Gradually beat in two tablespons sugar. Carefully fold egg whites into the potatoes. Turn into an un greased one-quart casserole. Bake in a pre-heated moderate oven, 350 degrees one hour or until firm in the center. Snap Beans With Peanut Sauce We westerners often fix poul try, fish and vegetable almon dine, because we've plenty of almonds and because we like their crunchiness and flavor. In colonial times, cooks fixed up this peanut sauce for fresh snap beans. We use frozen frenched green beans for this. Either pea nuts or almonds, try this: Melt one-fourth cup butter in a saucepan. Heat until brown; add one-fourth cup chopped roasted peanuts or almonds, owe-half teaspoon salt, one-eighth tea spoon freshly ground black pep per and one-eighth teaspoon ground nutmeg. Pour over (any) vegetable. We often add a good healthy squeeze of lemon juice to this for a special fillip. Spiced Figs Special Recipe makes two quarts. Fine with turkey the first day and all successive days. Good with pork and other poultry, too. Take four cans (17-ounce size) figs. Drain syrup and put figs in saucepan. Add one-half cup brown sugar, three-fourth cup cider vinegar, one-fourth teaspoon salt, two two-inch sticks whole cinnamon, one tea spoon whole celery seed, two one-inch pieces ginger root. Tie two teaspoons whole allspice and lVz teaspoons whole cloves in a bag and add. Bring to boiling point; boil five minutes. Add figs. Simmer (do not boil) 10 minutes. Cool. Remove spice bag. Chill 24 hours or until ready to serve. Everyone will like! Shiny Pans Eliminate Common Cause of Baking Failure Heading into the full swing of holiday entertaining means more baking of hot-breads, cookies, delectable pies, cakes for family-eating and Christmas-giving. Be sure to eliminate one of the most common causes of baking failure by shining your alum inum pans to new brillance. Cake pans that shine, outside as well as inside, bake high, light and evenly. This is due to the shiny surface evenly reflecting oven heat. Darkened pans, dis colored by neglect, hold heat, Thursday, NoTember 17, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGOlf) MAIL TRIBUWE-aynf Society for Kindly Disinterment of Once Opulent Slang in Monthly Meeting By H. D. QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York tU.R) The SKIDOOS met today (Society for the Kindly, Intelligent Disin terment of Once Opulent Slang) It was the regular monthlv meeting. A quorum of 23 was present. Members, on pogo sticks, en tered a meeting hall done up as a replica of a miniature golf course, with several mahjong sets in one corner. Each member gave the password "Oh Yeah?" to which the response "Yeah!" cause cakes to bake through be fore they rise, and over-brown on the bottom and sides. Shine your pans regularly and you'll be a better baker. Quick Brown Bread A speeded-up version of an old-fashioned standby. Capture a bit of the past by adding this Brown Bread to your holiday cooking repertoire. We modern ized it by pairing soda with vinegar for an assured leavening power, instead of taking a chance on the less stable acid content of sour milk. 3,4 cup sifted all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda teaspoon salt , 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs Vi cup shortening 1 egg, beaten cup molasses 3A cup milk Vi cup vinegar Vz cup seedless raisins Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Blend in bread crumbs. Cut in shortening until mixture is fine. Blend together egg, molasses and milk; stir into dry ingredients until just blended. Add vinegar and rais ins, mix well. Pour batter into a greased and floured 8x8x2 inch baking pan. Bake in moderate (375 degree) oven, 25 to 30 min utes. Serve hot, perhaps with baked beans, its traditional ac companiment. Soup-Sauces Simplify Cooking Condensed soups as sauces make cooking so easy. For a first-rate cream sauce add one half can milk to each can soup. Simmer gently before blending with a pouring over other in gredients. Celery-Cream Sauce is es pecially good when served with carrots, seafood, meat loaf. Mushroom-Chicken Sauce is just right for green vegetables, meat loaf and casseroles. The session opened with the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, which disclosed the membership had voted to disinter, and prepare for im mediate usage, the following: "Nertz," "Copacetic," "Cake eater," "Sweet patootie." "Cof fin nail," and "My stars!" The chairman called for the general order of business and recognized Skidooer Sam Brown, on the floor.

AFL and CIO leaders got around one thorny issue by agreeing to provide co-directors to head the union's political arm. They will be James McDevitt, head of the AFL Labor's League for Political Education, and Jack Kroll, head of the CIO Po litical Action Committee. A similar compromise was ef fected. for leadership of the legis lative department. George Hush ing, head of the AFL's legisla tive division, and Robert Oliver, head of the CIO's, will be co directors. George Brown, an assistant to AFL President George Meany, will head the AFL-CIO Interna tional Affairs Department, it was said. Appointment of a general counsel still has to be decided, it was said.
