Turkey Bonania Meant
Much Good Eating
: The All-American bird, the
: versatile turkey, is unsur-
passed in many ways for good
eating at modest cost; still is
; thought very gala for special
occasions like the holiday
coming up. Today s well-bred
well-fed turkey is one of the
,' most efficient of all meat pro
ducers. It yields more meat
. per pound of food in less time
than any other of our common
domesticated meat-producing
animals and poultry. This ef
. ficiency keeps cost low.
; Grown in great abundance
in our part of the country,
this year s crop is said to be
"bumper" one. No meat comes
in a greater number of con
venient forms. There are
whole turkeys, half turkeys
and quarter turkeys for roast-
' ing and for barbecuing. Cut-
up turkey pieces make it pos
' sible to choose the pieces the
' family likes best for prepar-
ing in many ways.
Recently has come the bone-
'. less turkey roll, (turkey log,
' turkey bar) which has been
- popular with America s insti-
- tutional chefs for some time
. now. Turkey steaks too, froz
- en, sometimes breaded, usu-
ally three to a package, are
. increasing in distribution
the public favors them. Better
check ahead with your meat-
. man on these specialties.
- Today We Talk
- Of Turkey Rolls
The boneless bananza, that's
what they call the turkey roll
log or bar. The market poten
tial of both the precooked and
raw boneless turkey roll
just beginning to be felt.
Most boneless turkey rolls
today are marketed two
; pounds to nine pounds. A
' three-pound pre-cooked tur-
' key roll is equivalent to nine
pounds of raw meat on the
: bone. Some campanies are
marketing them in smaller
square, sandwich-shaped bars.
Like the frozen whole turkey,
they can be frozen and kept in
. storage satisfactorily.
Our picture combines a
boneless turkey roll with
orange glaze surrounded
with sweetened broiled orange
baskets. The vegetable plate
"could consist of fluffy rice
flecked with frozen chopped
chives and buttered aspara-
gus spears. A side dish of
course and always has red
, rings of canned cranberry Jel
ly or a generous bowl of
whole cranberries.
'Orange Glaze, Roast the
turkey rolled roast according
to directions on the label. One
half hour before turkey is
done, brush with Orange
-Glaze made like this: Combine
one-half cup orange juice,
-three tablespoons honey, two
tablespoons grated orange
.rind, one-half teaspoon instant
.minced onion; pour or brush
over turkey roll or rolls. Baste
occasionally until roll is
.glazed and done (remember
ing those label directions).
To Broil Oranges. Cut fresh
oranges into halves using zig
zag motion. Twist apart. Brush
with honey or sprinkle with
brown sugar; broil 10 minutes
or so. Serve warm.

.fine eating in ways beyond
-counting. We suggest a few
.ways here.

broccoli and cheese soup com
bined in layers make a tasty
nd quick Turkey Divan.
" Slices of turkey, tomato,
lettuce and cheese on a hard
roll make a hearty sandwich.
: Remember when making
turkey sandwiches, plenty of
butter or mayonnaise and
each and every one individu
ally salted and peppered.
- Slices of turkey and a can
of chicken gravy make a hot
sandwich.
Prepare turkey roll using a
barbecue sauce for the basting
instead of the orange glaze
suggested above.

Meals Packed in Toil
Enjoy Enormous Popularity
The picnic season revives
interest in foil-packaged meals
which were really rolling in
popularity last summer. There
are many good reasons. The
hostess can make them up
ahead of time, planning to out
door grill or oven-cook them,
ready for distributing to
guests either piled high on
warm tray or placed individ
ually on plates.
Or she may assemble the as
sorted ingredients, give each
guest appropriate size square
of heavy duty aluminum foil
and let each make his own as
sortment and grill it inde
pendently (better put a mark
er on yours). In either event,
each person opens his own
packet and eats directly from
the package.
Surprise Packages
Have tender beef and veal
cut in one-inch cubes. Tear off
large squares of heavy duty
aluminum foil. Place suffic
ient cubes for a portion in cen
ters of foil. Add a small ripe
tomato, several rings of green
pepper, a slice of onion to
each. Season with salt and
pepper and a pinch of ore
gano. Add a pat of butter or
margarine to each. Seal foil to
make a tight package and
place on grill over hot fire
and cook turning once or
twice for about one hour.
Flavor will be wonderful! Eat
it from the foil.
Out-door grilling and oven
cooking (375 degrees) take
about the same time. If pack
aged meals are frozen, figure
on lvi hours. In either event,
an automatic timer or alarm
clock properly set is a fine
idea.
Hamburger Hurrahs
Where there are holidays,
there are bound to be ham
burgers. It is easy to get hur
rahs for your hamburgers
from new flavor variations.
No possible reason for mo
notony here. Always gener
ously butter or mayonnaise
the buns and if posible, toast
them.
Work-in celery seeds, slight
ly toasted poppy seeds or
toasted and chopped nuts into
salted and peppered ground
meat. Add bread crumbs that
have been soaked In milk.
Add rice or hominy mixed
with melted butter and to
mato paste. Add onion juice
or grated onion, gencrously-
or minced green peppers,
minced ripe or stuffed olives.
Tunisian Salad
Hat French Dretiing
Tunisia, a Republic, covers
an area of 48.332 square miles,
has a population estimated at
3,800,000 of which about 90
per cent are natives. Agricul
ture is the chief industry with
over one-fourth of the arable
land in wheat. Other import
ant crops are barley, oats,
corn, sorgum, beans and peas.
There are huge herds of sheep
and goats, lesser numbers of
cattle and camels.
Like Americans, Tunisians
enjoy a salad but lettuce is
likely to be used only as gar
nish. Their salad dressing
might have been taken from
any of our cookbooks.
For each four servings, slice
one medium cucumber fine;
sprinkle with salt and let
stand one-half hour; drain.
Slice two medium tomatoes,
one medium onion, one med
ium green pepper and three
hard-cooked eggs. Arrange
vegetables and eggs on lettuce
leaves for individual servings.
Pour French dressing over the
salad. Olives often are used as
garnish.
Salad dressing is made By

Sick Pay Provision May Be Narrowed
Washington-tUPD-The House
Ways and Means- Committee
Wed n e s d a y tentatively ap
proved a compromise version
of one of the tax-raising pro
visions of President Ken
nedy's tax program.
The committee agreed to
narrow sharply the tax
exemption treatment for "sick
pay" drawn by employees ab
sent from work. Kennedy had
recommended outright repeal
of the exemption.
Under existing law, the first
$100 a week in wages paid a
hospitalized employee is tax
exempt. In cases where an ill
ness does not require hospi
talization, the exemption does
not apply to wages received
during the first seven days of
employee's absence.
The committee decided to
limit the exemption in all
cases to that drawn after an
ailing employee has been ab
sent from work for 30 days.
It was the first tax-boosting
combining one-fourth cup ol
ive or salad oil, one tablespoon
vinegar, one tablespoon lemon
juice, one-fourth teaspoon salt,
one eighth teaspoon sugar,
one-eighth teaspoon dry mus
tard and one-eighth teaspoon
paprika. Place all ingredients
in a covered jar and shake to
blend.
Lemon Ice Cubes
From now one and through
out the summer, it is a pleas
ure to have fancy ice cubes
handy for lemonades, colas
and other beverages.
Fill ice tray one-third full
of water; put twist of lemon
peel or red or green mara
schino cherry in each section
and freeze. When firm, fill
rest of tray with water and
continue freezing. There's no
diluting the beverage flavor.
Ham Dunk
With party picks, skewer
hot ham cubes and pineapple
chunks and serve in a chafing
dish or in a casserole over a
candle warmer using a hot
sweet-sour or barbecue sauce
for dunking. Battered toasted
slices of rye bread alongside
are party-perfect.
