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.
Melt one-fourth pound (one
stick) butter or margarine and
mix in two tablespoons sea
soned salt; allow to cool slight
ly. Brush generously over the
entire surface of the turkey be
fore putting in the oven. 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.

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. '
