Round-Up of Fail,
Fancy Htclpes and Idess
The next (ew days are such
busy ones or the entire a ra
lly what with reunions, home'
coming games, the long week
end and myriad other special
attractions that we've round'
ed up a wealth of pertinent
fast and fancy recipes ana
suggestions that will come in
handv now and during the
busy weeks ahead. We've sinv
mered most of them down to
paragraphs for quick reading
for which we hope you will
give thanks.
Table Arrangements
Colorful fruits, vegetables
and nuts in combination with
fall foliage from the yard lend
themselves to infinite variety
in arrangements for table, buf
fet and other areas.
-A mound of shiny red ap
ples, the gold and russet of
winter pears or mixed fruits
with a pomegranate or two,
some persimmons, tangerines
or even a small melon tucked
in. Arrange on nest of color
ful leaves, barberry, bitter
sweet or contoneasler and
sprinkle with assorted nuts or
arrange a cranberry garland.
-If your table Is long, a
flat garland of alternating
green and deep blue-purple
grapes will prove exciting. Or
do it entirely in green tones
or bronze tones.
-Scoop out a pumpkin or
Hubbard or banana squash
and fill to overflowing with
mixed fruits and vegetables
with nuts sprinkled over all.
-A wooden bowl piled with
assorted small gourds and
green peppers around. a deep
purple eggplant seems a good
idea as a beginning with red
berried foliage tucked in.
Turkey Reminders
When turkey is cooked,
serve it promptly or cool
quickly and alore in refriger
ator at 35 to 40 degrees. Be
very sure to cool turkey thor
, oughly before placing in re
frigerator. Do not hold for
more than two days after
cooking.
When serving turkey, do
not leave it at room temper
ature or on a hot stove more
than an hour. Cooked turkey
and turkey dishes when
warm, spoil quickly. Cool left
over portions of turkey or tur
key dishes quickly and put
them in the refrigerator. Do
not keep turkey dishes such
as creamed turkey more than
one day before using them.
Turkey Sandwich Secret
Many people insist that
they toast turkey just so they
can have all the turkey sand'
wlches they want. Certain it
is that few things If any make
finer eating than slabs of cold
turkey meat between slices of
fresh snowy white bread. This
is one place where white
bread is completely satisfying.
Just have on hand plenty
of bread, butter, mayonnaise
salt and pepper and you re
all set for magic meals andor
refrigerator raiders through
out the week end. Secret of
turkey sandwiches is the salt-
' ing and peppering of each and
every sandwich as you're
making it. Plenty of cranber
' ry sauce, of course.
First Aid to Carvers
If you're a turkey garnish-
er, that's fine. Doll the bird
up all you like for that first
memorable impression. But
. . . have a good size plate
or platter convenient so the
head of the house can remove
the garnishments and clear
the platter tor action. No man,
however proficient at carv'
lng, can work his way effi
ciently around slices of cran
berry sauce, sweet potato
stuffed oranges and other fes
tive Impedimenta.
Pears and Cheese
It's Bosc and Anjou pear
season. Serve juicy ripe pears
with sharp, piquant cheeses,
crackers or specialty breads
for a truly Continental, hand
some and satisfying dessert,

Washington - IUPII - Never-say-die
Republicans were try
ing to capture the presidency
for Richard M. Nixon by re
versing election results in
three big states-Illinois, Texas
and New Jersey.
The Republican National
committee appeared to be at
tempting to prod COP state
organizations into action in
five other states - Missouri,
New Mexico, Nevada, South
Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Democrats gave no sign that
they view the GOP moves as
a threat to Sen. John F. Ken
nedy's plans to move into the
White House Jan. 20.
Not Claiming Success
GOP party leaders weren't
making any claims of success
for their effort to reverse the
Nov. 8 election outcome.

night In capturing California's
32 electorial votes on a tide
of absentee ballots counted
eight days after the election.
This toppled Kennedy's lead
in the regular balloting.
The Republican National
committee announced Friday
it was sending represenutivi's
to all eight states to tnkr a
"close hard look" at election
results about which com
plaints of irregularities have
been made. The committee ex
plained the action this way:
Nixon 46 Short
' Nixon now has 220 certain
electoral votes. He leads in
Alaska where the race for the
state's three electoral vote?
still is in doubt. Thus, he Is
at least 46 short of the 269
needed for election.
Nixon would have to win
Illinois' 27 votes and Texas'
24-now in the Kennedy col
umn - to overturn the elec
tion. New Jersey - also now
for Kennedy-has 16 electoral
votes.
Kennedy carried states with
306 electoral votes but is cer
tain of only 300 because six
Alabama electors are against
him. Other Southern electors
conceivably could defect, i
Kennedy's total fell much be
low 300.
