With Gala Turk.y Bullet
Ring In Naw Yaar
We know of nothing more
spectacular, easier to do, more
easily served nor more sat
isfying than a gala turkey buf
fet for offering hospitality to
greeters of the new year.
Choose a big torn turkey
If half the people you know
in the area are coming; or a
smaller turkeys; bring out
ily or neighborly affair. May
be you'd like to consider two
smaller turkeys; bringt out
the second oe when and if
needed.
Everyone in our part of
the country know how to
roast turkey because we do
it the year round. This year
for the very first time, we
have come up with a fine new
notion for offering stuffing,
Many good cooks today rely
on one of the several ready
to-use stuffings which grow
constantly in popularity.
These seem to have caught
the flavor inherent in home
toasting of bread, measuring
and "seasoning". Like home
made stuffing, they lend them
selves ideally to tempations
to vary with oysters, sausages,
nuts, minced vegetables, dried
fruit or whatever. Many vari
ations are printed right on
the packages which usually
come with two bags in the
package for convenience.
New Year's Buffet
Our New Year's buffet of
fers freshly carved turkey,
parslied dressing halls (recipe
below) instead of the usual in
side job, buttered green beans
with mushrooms and jellied
cranberry sauce with a twist
of pineapple slice on top.
Turkey cream gravy stays
warm in the chafing dish for
those who wish to help them
selves. And for the savory
goodies for crunching, w
oven - salted nuts (recipe be
low). Parslied Dressing Balls
Two popular packaged
dressings readily available
include an all - purpose ready-to-use
dressing that is met
ba - toasted and an old south
ern corn bread stuffin' that
also is melba - toasted. Here
we use the all-purpose type
for the making of crisp baked
stuffing balls instead of stuff
ing the turkey. They're so
easy to serve; add Interest to
the "presentation." For each
eight servings:
1 6Vi-ounce bag melba-
toasted all-purpose dress

margarine
1 small onion finely
minced
'a cup finely chopped nut
meats (almonds, walnuts,
pecans)

parsley
Combine mclba-toasted all
purpose dressing with one
fourth cup melted butter or
margarine. Add onion, nut
meals and liquid; blend well,
but lightly. Shape into eight
balls and brush with melted
butter or margarine; roll In

STARTING NEW YEAR A festive turkey-and-fixings buffet
is the simplest, most satisfying way of starling the new year
with good neighbors, friends and family sharing good tid
ings, here is something really new; Turkey dressing baked
separately in individual balls. It is served with oven-salted
nuts and other festive accompaniment.
Punch (or Crowd. Many
think this an ideal refresh
ment; makes 20 servings. All
you need is one quart of
fruit ice or sherbet, two
quarts gingerale. Put one-half
of the fruit ice or sherbet in
a punch bowl and pour in
two quarts gingerale. Top
with remaining fresh fruit
ice or sherbet, scooped or ta
blespooned. Decorate with
sprige of mint and thin orange
or lemon slices.
Instant Coffee
Instant coffice is a boon to
party givers. The instant or
soluble coffees attain perfec
tion when you simply follow
directions on the jar. A four
ounce jar of soluble coffee
makes 32 cups of coffee when
combined with six quarts
briskly boiling water. Stir cof
fee well and let stand briefly
to insure brew of average
strength. Serve steaming hot.
Treasure Trove of
Dips From Soup Mixes
Ever since Arthur Godfrey
(so It is said) discovered the
affinity of onion soup mix
with dairy sour cream as a
divine dip for crackers, po
tato chips and corn chips,
others have been, in the ver
nacular, doing likewise. Here
are a few; each based in
dairy sour cream. All recipes
are party size.
Clam Dip. Blend one enve
lope tomato soup mix, one
pint dairy sour cream and two
tablespoons Italian salad
dressing thoroughly. Stir one
lOH-ounce can minced clams,
drained, and one tablespoon
clam juice into the tomato
sour cream mixture. Refriger
ate. Guacamole Dip. Combine
one avocado, mashed (yields
approximately one cup), one
pint dairy sour cream and
three tablespoons onion soup
mix. Fold in one tomato, chop
ped, and one lablesoon sherry.
Refrigerate until serving
time.
California Dip. Heal one
third cup sherry and combine
with one envelope onion soup
mix; refrigerate for at least
one hour. Stir well with fork
and fold in one pint dairy
sour cream and one-fourth
teaspoon paprika. Very good
Southern Oregon's
Climate Compared
To Truffle Area
Southern Oregon's climale
and latitude are similar to
southern France where truffle
growing is an Important in
dustry. This relationship as tn cli
mate and produce was pointed
out recently by Maj. M. J.
Hopkins, Rogue Valley Man
or. He added that truffles
might grow on Oregon while
oaks, being the fruiting body
of a fungus which grows on
the roots of oak trees and
some other plants.
Truffles are used as flavor
ing on salads, in candies, and
in sauces, and are highly
prized by connoisseurs. Alba,
Italy, Medford's sister city, is
known for its truffles.
In discussing growing
truffles here, Major Hopkins
talked with officials of the
bureau of land management.
Robert D. Hostetter, resource
management specialist, said
that since a high lime content
in the soil is necessary for
growing truffles, the locations
suitable would be limited in
this locality.
Work With Service
Hostetter noted with per
sons In the Rogue valley who
would be interested might
work in cooperation with the
U. S. Agricultural Research
service at Beltsville, Mri., and
with the Food and Agriculture
organization of the United Na
tions at Rome, Italy, to pro
cure some European oak
seedlings innnculated with the
truffle fungus for culture in
southern Oregon.
Major Hopkins, who is a re
tired geologist with the Corps
of Engineers, U.S. Army, was
a field geologist for Societe
drs Mines riu Couscrans from
1905 to 1IMJB in the truffle
region in southern France. He
is a 1904 graduate of the
Royal University of Liege,
Belgium, in mining and
geology.
The horticultural crop re
search branch of the Agricul
tural Research service report
ed that the European truffles
do not occur in the United
Stales, but there are a num
ber of species of underground
fungi related to the European
truffles found in the Pacific
coast areas.
Since truffles grow at least
one foot underground they
are generally difficult to find.
Children Killed in Fall Down Cliff
