HOW TO COOK YOUR FREEZER TURKEY It’s a lucky cook who can take her turkey frozen from her home freezer this Christmas! For more than half the work involved in preparing the proud bird has been done ahead of time. When you take your turkey from the freezer, allow sufficient time for the bird to thaw com pletely before roasting. Either place the wrapped bird in your refrigerator for about 24 hours, or hasten thawing by placing be fore an electric fan for a few hours. If the turkey was stuffed before freezing, allow additional time for thawing. If it was frozen unstuffed, proceed as follows: Cook the giblets while prepar ing your favorite dressing. Chop giblets, except liver, cover with water, and add one teaspoon salt, then simmer with neck until tender. Add liver just a few min utes before removing from heat. MEETING OF BLACK MOUNTAIN WOMAN'S CLUB On Wednesday afternoon, No vember 28th, at her lovely home, “Hillcrest,” Mrs. James P. Parker was hostess to the Literary depart ment of the Woman’s Club. The idea of answering the roll with a current event was quite unique, and especially interesting was the article on Insulin, read by Miss Anne Wilson. The Literary department is mak ing a study of North Carolina history, and “Carolina Propri etary” the topic of discussion for the afternoon. The first paper, “Settlers from Virginia,” read by Mrs. W. H. Murray, was most in teresting. After this Mrs. George L. Pritchard, with Mrs. Thos. W. Cooper as accompanist, very charmingly sang “vale” by D’Archy. Miss Anne Wilson then read two instructive papers, “A Royal Grant,”' and “George Du rant, Pioneer of Democracy.” Fol lowing this Mrs. Thomas W. Cooper delighted the club mem bers with a piano solo, Grieg’s “To Spring,” and “Japanese Etude,” by Poldini, as an encore. Mrs. Pritchard’s “Banjo Song,” by Homer, closed the program for the afternoon. The hostess served dePcious whipped cream and cake :tal lized fruit and hot coffee. Lpecial guests included Mrs. Alex Crink ley of Biltmore, Mrs. C. M. Pritch ett of Asheville, and Mrs. R. C, Anderson of Montreat. (This story was taken from The Key City News of December 15 1923.)

I Use part of giblet stock to moisten stuffing and save the rest for delicious gravy. Giblets may be added tc dressing, gravy, or served as your family prefers. Stuff with a light hand. The dressing will be soggy, or may burst the skin and spill out the juices if you haven’t allowed room for it to expand and fluff up a bit. Rub inside of body cavity with salt before stuffing. Then fill with stuffing, allowing about one cup of stuffing per pound of bird. First, fill neck cavity with just enough stuffing to fill out lightly. Then pull neck skin back and fasten onto back with skewer. Stuff body cavity loosely with dressing, closing opening i:. cav ity by sewing with heavy thread or lacing string around skewers. Next, lift wings up and out, forcing tips back “akimbo-style”, until they rest flat across back, helping to hold neck skin in place. For moist plump drum sticks, tie a cord snugly around each leg end just above joint, then lace both legs tightly to tail piece. This holds skin in place and also makes bird more com pact for roasting. Now place bird in shallow roasting pan, preferably on rack. Do not sear! Do not cover! Do not add water to the pan! For a glossy finish, grease the bird all over with unsalted fat. This forms a protective film against drying out and gives a good rich color to the skin. Keep the temperature low during the entire roasting period. Set oven temperature con trol at 300-325 F., put in the turkey, and forget it. To tell whether turkey is done, press the fleshy part of the drum stick, protecting fingers with cloth or paper. If it is done, the meat feels soft. Also, move the drum stick up and down. If the leg joint gives readily or breaks, the turkey is done.
