The easiest way to thaw your
turkey is to leave it in its original
watertight bag and submerge it
in cold water. The part that thaws
first will remain cold until the
entire bird is defrosted. The
thawing time for a 20—pound bird
is then reduced to 20 hours
(roughly 1 hour per pound).
Once the bird has thawed,
remove store wrappings and
giblets, wrap turkey loosely in
waxed paper - refrigerate or cook
immediately. Store giblets
separately in the refrigerator.

UP, UP
AND AWAY!
This is our advice regarding where you
should store your drugs and medicines if you
have young children around the house: Up, up
and away! Up, up, out of reach—and away out
of their sight! And, preferably, also under lock
and key.
Children, as we all know—but may some-
times forget temporarily—have an endless cur-
iosity. They love to get into things. But, if
they should get into your drugs and medicines,
the results could be disastrous and tragic. So,
always keep in mind the necessity for being
exceptionally careful and alert with your med-
ications. Don't leave them around where• the
youngsters can get at theni.

The Orpha Club met Ttiesday

Flear for their Christmas party,
decorated for the occasion.
Thirty ladies attended. Mrs. Eva
Allister opened with a poem.
Original games such as bingo
with the members' names and a
playful composition of a local
newspaper were enjoyed.
A three-way raffle was won by
Mrs. Maurice, Mrs. Hicks and

Eighteen members and their
husbands attended the annual
Christmas Party of the Huron
County Medical Secretaries at
the Commercial Hotel in
Seaforth, All of the ladies were
presented with corsages in the
seasons colors.
A very tasty dinner was very
much enjoyed by all present. The
President, Mrs. Joyce Arm-
strong, Zurich, then presided at
the draw for the gifts donated by
the various Doctors.
The only business discussed
was the fact that our meetings
during January and February
will be cancelled as usual due to
the inclement weather usually
present at these times. The next
meeting of the Association will be
held on March 7, 1973 in
Goderich. The dues of $5 will be

joyable festive evening.

ception that angels are humans
who have gone to heaven. She
concluded by saying that this is
incorrect, but that the human
soul rises above the angels,
More than 30 ladies attended
the meeting.
Snacks
that relax
Relaxing at home during the
festive season may seem like an
impossibility but by planning and
preparing a few simple snacks in
advance, you can enjoy a
leisurely hour or so when friends
drop in.
A great variety of attractively
packaged snack foods are readily
available in the grocery stores at
this time of year but it can be
more economical and more fun to
make them at home.
The home economists at
Agriculture Canada suggesti;:,
using cereals and Canadian
cheese in these easy and quick-to-
prepare snack recipes. Why not
let the children do the work?
After all they'll probably be the
first ones to sample them!

The big, plump, frozen turkey
you purchase at Christmas time
requires careful attention before
it reaches the oven, Food
specialists say it is very im-
portant to estimate the thawing
time as accurately as possible, so
that the bird goes into the oven as
soon as possible after it is
completely thawed,
At room temperature, a 15—to
20—pound turkey takes about 20
to 30 hours to thaw (roughly 11 2
hours per pound). The outside of
the poultry thaws and becomes
warm. Surface deterioration
could result before the inside is
completely thawed, If you thaw
your turkey at room tem-
perature, slit the bag open and
tilt the bird to allow moisture to
run out of the bag.
It is safer to thaw poultry in the
refrigerator. Refrigerator
thawing time for a 20—pound bird
would be 4 days (roughly 5 hours
per pound). The turkey should be
left in its original wrappings, but
the hag should be slit and the
The Exeter and District
Christian Women's Club held
their Christmas dinner and
meeting Friday at the Anglican
Church Parish Hall. The ladies
provided a wide variety of dishes
for their pot-luck smorgasbord at
noon, convened by Mrs. Esther
Hall and Mrs. Stella Marshall,
Mrs. G. Anderson led off the
program with a series of
readings from the Bible, which
prophesied the coming of the birth
of Christ. Mrs. Anderson led in
the readings, and several ladies
participated. The readings were
intersperesed with Christmas
carols, which were sung by all,
accompanied on the piano by
Mrs. Betty Smith.
Following lunch, several ladies
gave short poems and readings,
appropriate to the Christmas
season.
The highlight of the meeting
was a reading delivered by Mrs.
Shirley Luther, Hensall, on the
subject of angels. She said that
although angels are prevalent
throughout the Bible, there are
few clues given as to their ap-
pearance or nature. There are
only really two angels who
emerge as individuals, One is
Gabriel, who brings the message
of the conception to Mary, and
who later urges Joseph to take his
wife and child to Eygpt to escape
the wrath of Herod. The second is
Michael, who symobilizes the
eternal triumph of light over
darkness.
She explained, however, that
often angels are confused with
seraphims and cherubims, She
said, that there are distinct
differences.
Mrs. Luther also said that some
