Feeding the Family ZOLITA VINCENT Food Editor Remembering back not too long ago Thanksgiving was a time of harried, but happy it is true, hostesses finishing up last minute. . kitchen ! duties while family and guests passed the time of day in the living room. This can all be changed todav with the many conveni ence items available for quick assembling early in the day. ready to oe wmsKeu enmea lust right from reirigeraior or hot from the stove or oven in a matter of minutes for serving as a festive buffet. Menu-wise, turkey is still tra ditional Thanksgiving fare : . . and since the actual roasting of Die bird is a well known matter we merely suggest a new and different seasoning ac cent in the basting preparation.

Baste as usual during the roasting time. 1 Appetizer Tray Delicacies The elegant appetizer tray in our picture is full of prcpared-ahcad-of-time delicacies. A lazy susan, if handy, is perfect for easy service. Fill the center bowl of the lazy susan with a cream cheese dip, flavor accent ed with fresh or frozen chives. Surround with crisp pretzel twists for dipping; black or red caviar (with or without a sprin kling of lemon juice) topped with finely chopped onions atop flavored crackers; smoked sal mon rolls and wine herring snacks. Stufllng of Course Something different by way of serving stuffing is added when it is baked In individual molds and the centers filled with whole cranberry sauce. Today's prepared stuffing mixes are fabulous for tnkmc tne worn oui of the age-old, time consuming job of making tne smiting. Vccctnhlc Variety . . The, plattcrful of vegetables is a taste treasure in itself. Glazed carrots, pearl onions and green beans with butter-almond sauce surround a bed of, lightly seasoned potato rounds. Even the peeling of potatoes goes out the window when frozen potato rounds are simply heated ac cording to package instructions, Other Accompaniments A tray of hot rolls with boy- senberry jam and honey top pings, crisp tossed green salad and choice of dessert completes a buffet which truly combines the riches of our bountiful land. . Turkey-Ham Snlnd ' After the Thanksgiving festi vities are over, the turkey is cold and perhaps the family a bit weary of It, here Is a tasty cooked turkey with IVi cups cooked ham, one-half cup dairy sour cream, three tablespoons mayonaise, one tablespoon cap ers and salt and pepper to taste. Extend it further with bite-size pieces of lettuce, if desired. The piquant flavor of cranberry sauce continues to be a natural with anything that features tur key ... so cranberry sauce on the side. Cranberry Parfall This Cranberry Parfait is holi day fare. Alternate layers of crushed cranberry sauce and vanilla ice cream in parfait glasses or other dessert dishes. Top with chipped cream and a bit of additional cranberry sauce. OrangeSweet Potatoes Popular Holiday Favorite This will bring to mind sweet potato-stuffed oranges, a long time favorite that may hnve eluded your memory. Use either sweet potatoes or the moister, more deeply colored yams. Mash boiled or baked sweet potatoes or yams with orange juice and season with butter or margarine and a litle salt. Use your own taste to tell you "how much." Pile into orange shells left from the morning's juicing and top with bits of marshmal low. Put into oven to heat thor oughly; toast marshmallows. We suggest that you place these on a separate plate or platter so father won't have to attempt to carve around them.

By HARRY FERGUSON WASHINGTON (UPI) - If President Johnson had to choose one day on which his entire fu ture hinged, he probably would select April 10, 1937. On that day he won a special election for a seat in Congress. ' That alone would not have made the day significant, but Jiffy-Knit Hits Armed Man Said To Be False Alarm WASHINGTON (UPI)- Police today checked out an apparent false alarm report that a man was seen with a weapon on a roof opposite the office of Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedv. Police said the report appar ently resulted from someone mistaking a workman, carrying tools, as a gunman.

Two-Parf Princess T1 by chance President Franklin D. Roosevelt was on a fishing trip off Corpus Christi, Tex. Johnson had run on a straight New Deal platform, backing everything Roosevelt wanted to do, including the backing of the Supreme Court. Roosevelt got interested in the new congressman, and invited him to travel to Washington on the presidential train. They shared Manhattan cocktails on the trip, Roosevelt talked and Johnson listened. Back in Wash ington, Johnson began to re ceive invitations to breakfast at the White House and to get good committee assignments in the House of Representatives. Had Narrow Squeaks Thereafter Johnson had some narrow political squeaks, which would make Hollywood cliff hangers seem improbable, but he definitely was on his way up the Washington ladder. Year by year his influence increased un til his career reached its cul mination last week at the Dallas airport where he was sworn in as President of the United States. Roosevelt kept urging Johnson on to bigger and better things, specifically persuading him to run for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by the death of Sen. Norris Sheppard. Politics in Tex as is gaudy and the infighting is fierce. Johnson had 27 op ponents for the Senate seat. The most formidable was Gov. Lee O'Daniel whose followers con stantly exhorted him to "pass the biscuits, Pappy." Pappy's technique for discussing the is sues was to hire a hillbilly band and employ a girl singer called Texas Rose. Johnson retaliated by employing a diva weighing 285 pounds and billing her as "the Kate Smith of the South." As insurance, he also retained the services of some dancing girls and a black-face comedian. It was in vain. Pappy defeated Johnson by 1,311 votes. Saw Active Dtity Two days after Pearl Harbor, Johnson obtained leave from his scat in the House and, as a re serve officer, went on active duty with the Navy as a lieu tenant commander and saw service in the Southwest Paci fic. Roosevelt ordered him to return to his duties as a con gressman, and in 1948 Johnson made his second run for the Senate. His opponent was Gov. Coke Stevenson, who had never lost an election. Johnson changed tactics, substituting a helicopter for the diva and the dancing girls. He roared back and forth across Texas in the helicopter and cotton field work ers frequently were astonished to hear a voice from the skies bellowing: "Hello down there. This is your candidate, Lyndon Johnson." In a run-off election between Johnson and Stevenson almost one million votes were cast. It was so incredibly close that the final count gave Johnson the victory by 87 votes, and when he took his Senate seat he had to learn to keep smiling while people referred to him as "Landslide Lyndon." Kept Mouth Shut He spent three years in the Senate making friends and largely keeping his mouth shut. In 1951 he was chosen whip of the Senate Democrats and from there went on to become Dem ocratic leader. It is . an office that requires tact, patience and hard work. Johnson had to be come a bridge between the Southern conservatives and the Northern liberals in the party. Sometimes he had to enforce party discipline with stern measures. Sen. William Prox mire of Wisconsin complained publicly that Johnson was run ning a one-man show that re duced his fellow Democrats to the role of yes men. Johnson undoubtedly would have taken the Democratic presidential nomination in 1956 if it had been offered to him which it wasn't. In 1960 he made a hard run for it. But he arrived at the Los Angeles Dem ocratic Convention to find that John F. Kennedy's travel and hard work at the political grass roots had made the Johnson cause all but hopeless. Exchanged Harsh Words Johnson fought on and before the balloting started he and Kennedy exchanged some harsh words. Gradually, Johnson be came convinced he couldn't get the nomination. The fact that he was a Southerner was against him, orgamzea lauui a tical about him, he seemed to t,A .incalu HpH In thft conserva live oil interests in the South west. If those things made It im possible for him to get the pres idential nomination, they were precisely the reasons Kennedy wanted him for the vice presi dential nomination. The ap proach was made to Johnson, the differences were smoothed over, the harsh words were for gotten and forgiven. Kennedy shrewdly appealed to Johnson on the grounds of party unity and a potential Democratic vic tory. To a man like Johnson, for whom almost every waking moment is filled with political considerations, the appeal waJ impossible to resist. ' Next: The tough early years and what the future holds.
