Tradition Dictates Turkey Cooking For Thanksgiving BY JEANNE LESEM v United Press Correspondent New York (IP) There is" more than one way to serve turkey during the holiday season, and still stick to tradition. It just depends on the part of the country you hail from, Sauerkraut is a Thanksgiving turkey accompaniment in west ern Maryland, for instance, say John and Marie Roberson, auth ors of "The Famous American Recipes Cookbook." , And there are other regional variations from the turkey and cranberry sauce menu which generally is regarded as THE classic Thanksgiving Day din ner. Take stuffings. Vermonters favor a bread crumb, salt pork and apple filling. In Minnesota, wild rice and chestnuts are used. Cooking Tips Maryland tradition calls for an oyster-bread crumb mixture and the South features several types. Mississippians and Geor gians are likely to serve a pecan stuffing; North Carolinians, corn bread; Kentuckians, a sa usage variety. The Tidewater section of colo nial Virginia likes a chestnut sausage stuffing, seasoned with herbs and spices. Although traditions for stuf fings and side dishes vary reg ionally, most modern cooks agree on the best method of cooking the turkey itself. It bears little resemblance to col onial custom. In olden days, the Robersons said, the stuffed bird was placed on a trivet in a meat pan. The bottom of the pan was covered with boiling water, and the tur key was roasted in an over of average temperature for three or four hours. It was basted every 15 minutes. Cape Cod "Turkey" Today, dry roasting is prefer red. A turkey that has been greased thoroughly with melted butter or margarine, and cover ed with a cheesecloth dipped in the fat, is cooked uncovered in a pre-heated, moderately slow oven (325 degrees), from three to eight hours, depending on the weight of the bird. The cook who doesn't trust her own judgement can use any of the efficient meat and poul try thermometers available. The turkey will be easier to carve, and juicier to eat, if it's allowed to "rest" on a warm platter in a warm place for the 15 to 25 minutes needed to make gravy from the pan dripp ings. If all this sounds like too much trouble, you can serve Cape Cod "turkey" instead. Cape Cod "turkey" is simply an honorary name given by ear ly New England colonists to a baked stuffed codfish recipe. They felt that "without the fish ing industry we would have little to be thankful for." Cub Scouts Make Hospital Favors For Thanksgiving Patients confined ' to Rogue Valley Memorial hospital today will be cheered by the appear ance of Thanksgiving tray fav ors provided by two dens of Cub Scouts, according to Mrs. Tom MacLeod, dietition at the hos pital.

By GAY PAULEY United Press Women's Editor New York (IP) The man who until six .months ago was chief cook at the White House says President Eisenhower never be came ill from any of his dishes. But he said one of his beef stews once upset the first lady. Czech-born Francois Rysavy, veteran of 30 vears in hotel and private kitchens, here and abroad, for two and one-half years supervised the preparation ol an White House meals.

The upset caused a sympathy Dam", on Wall street and the stock market droDned sharply. "I was vastly relieved that I was not the chef," said Rysavy, in a book, "White House Chef" G. P. Putnam's, published today. l can safely say," he added, 'that the President had never suffered a stomach reversal on my account." He hurriedly point ed out that the Eisenhower ileitis attack "happened after a dinner at a Washington hotel." Rysavy is chock full of infor mation on likes and dislikes of the first family. He discovered, the hard way, that Mrs. Eisen hower is anti-onion. President Eisenhower's knack with a beef stew is pretty well publicized, so the chef decided one evening to serve the Hunearian version. goulash. Plenty of onions, of course. Next day, he said, the head butler showed up at the kitchen door to comment: "You must have used onions in the stew last night . . . the first lady had trouble sleeDins." "I served stew manv times again," said Rysavy, "but never with onions." Incidentally, the' chef includes a recipe for blueberry pie as he made it at the White House plus the diet the President went on. after his heart attack in 1955. He refers to the President as a steak man "it is his favorite meat." and said, "like manv an other husband, he is not salad crazy." "One of the strangest of his favorite foods . . . was quail hash," the chef said. "Actually I don't know why it is called hash, because it has no notatoes About the onlv wav he rnnld get Mr. Eisenhower to eat a sal ad, he said, was to serve with a dressing called green god dess" a mixture of sour cream mayonnaise, anchovy paste and onion greens. But Mrs. Ike is a salad fancier and often takes a fruit and cot tage cheese combination . for lunch. She has a "passion for any food with mint flavor. The che"f said the family prefers sim ple American-type fare, except on state occasions when the menu usually takes on a con tinental flavor. Meat loaf, served with baked macaroni and string beans, is a Sunday dinner favorite. And, Rysavy said, when the President and his brother, Dr. Milton Eis enhower, breakfast together, the main course usually is fried mush "which was one of their favorite foods when they were growing up in Abilene." Both the President and Mrs. Eisenhower are "calorie count ers," Rysavy said. They avoid breads except for sandwiches. An Eisenhower sandwich favor ite: Cold roast beef on rye bread..!
