At J. W. Turlington School
Students, Teachers Bring Christmas In Art
Actually, there are still several
nights before Christmas, but the
corridor display at J.W. Turlington
Elementary School intensifies the
anticipation with a recreation of the
poetic holiday classic. "Twas the
Night Before Christmas."
Anxious to stir up the Christmas
spirit, language arts teacher
Beverly Bowden and school li
brarian Betsy Collins collaborated
to bring successfully this heart
warming Christmas tale to the
visual attention of the student
body. Mrs. Collins, a gifted artist,
worked long to reproduce the verses
from the peom.
"I enjoyed working on this
project, and I'm also pleased with
the results," stated Mrs. Collins
with a big smile.
The colorful pictures were
created by the following sixth-grade
students: David Patterson. Sandy
Hunt. Dan McCrimmon, Harry
Graham, Al Crittenden. Perry
Shaw, Link Morrisey, Terry Smith,
Isaac Adams, and Patrick Mc
Dufly.
"The children are to be com
mended," stated Mrs. Bowden,
"for their outstanding efforts. They
worked very hard to see the
completion of this display."
Art teacher Donna Bullock also
expounded on the children's creati
vity and talent in art. The bulletin
board Christmas tree was decor
ated completely with ornaments
made by the children.
"I've never seen so many gen
uinely gifted boys and girls,"

exclaimed Mrs. Bullock. "I wish
more people could actually come to
the school and see their artistic
creations."
It's not only beginning to look a
lot like Christmas at Turlington but
it's also beginning to "feel" like
Christmas as well, according to
Miss Emma Mims. the school's
principal. "I have had many chil
dren -- and adults - come and tell

mas decorations have really put

are larger. This does not mean that
hens are more tender than toms.
Basic tenderness depends on the
age of the live bird. All young
turkeys, whether toms or hens, are
tender and all Butterball turkeys
are young birds.
2. What size turkey should you
buy in order to serve 12 people?
Answer: To serve 12 people select
an 18 pound turkey. The rule of
thumb is to allow 1 '/j pounds of
ready-to-stufT turkey per person.
This guide will provide generous
servings with enough left for second
day dishes.
3. When should you stuff a
turkey?
Answer: Stuff the turkey just
before roasting. To speed the
preparation you can assemble all
the dry ingredients for the stuffing
the night before and store them in
covered bowl on the kitchcn
counter. The next morning add the
liquid ingredients and stuff the
bird.
4. Should you baste the turkey as
it roasts?
Answer: You may spoon drip
pings or melted shortening over the
turkey as it roasts, but such basting
is not neccssary for juicy meat.
Frequent basting over the surface
of the turkey gives an attractive
appearance but it does not go
through the turkey skin.
5. What kind of pan should you
use to roast a turkey?
Answer: For a beautiful turkey to
carve at the table, use a shallow
roasting pan about 2'/j inches
deep. Use no cover and do not add
water. Use just the pan fitted with a
rack. However, if you prefer, you
may use a covered roaster.
6. If you roast a turkey breast
side-down. will it be juicier?
Answer: According to early re
search. the only advantage of
roasting a turkey breast-side-down
was slightly more moist white meat.
This practice seems less important
with deep-basted turkeys. In addi
tion to requiring a special V-shaped
rack, the method may be dan
gerous since it is necessary to turn a
large hot turkey halfway through
the roasting time.
7. Is it necessary to use a rack
during roasting?
Answer: A rack is necessary to
proper turkey roasting since it
keeps the turkey from cooking in its
own juices. A rack also allows good
circulation of heat for more even
cooking.
8. Do you need to salt the body
cavity of the turkey before putting
in the stuffing?
Answer: You may salt the body
cavity; however, the salt cannot
penetrate the rib cage of the turkey
and will not flavor the meat.
9. Can a turkey be roasted at 250
degrees F?
Answer: Home economists do
not recommend roasting turkeys at
250 degrees F. At this oven
temperature the stuffing and the
turkey may take more than 4 hours
to pass through the critical range of
40 degrees to 140 degrees F and so
may be unsafe. Because the turkey
is not a uniform shape, surface
areas tend to become dry while the
interior finishes cooking. For best
results set your oven at 325 degrees
F.
10. Is there a faster, yet safe,
method to thaw a turkey besides
defrosting it in the refrigerator?
Answer: You can safely reduce
thawing time by placing the frozen
turkey in its original wrapper in a
deep pan or in the sink and cover it
with cool water. Change the water
occasionally so that the surface
stays cold while the turkey thaws.
Room temperature thawing is not
recom mended because the surface
of the turkey stays at room temp
erature too long.
