Have a safe and happy holiday. Take care Christmas The Christmas turkey should be a joy to eat, not a possible source of discomt fort, say food and nutrition specialists with , the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Poultry of any kind is a perishable food and needs to be treated with care. Whether a frozen bird is thawed in the refrigerator, ... at room temperature, in cold water, or in a, microwave oven, the original vacuum - sealed bag should be left on so the meat is protected from any source of contamination. Refrigerate it as soon as it is defrosted .and cook within 24 hours. A fresh turkey, on the otherhand, should be re- moved from its original wrapper and covered with a loose tent of foil or waxed paper. Store the giblets separately from the bird and keep both in the 'coldest part of the refrigerator for no more than three days. For safety, never stuff poultry in advance. Don't even mix up the dressing until just before roasting. Any equipment such as a knife, or cutting board ed with the raw turkey Beds to" be thoroughly washed with hot, soapy water before it touches the cooked bird.' REMOVE STUFFING After the turkey has made its impressive appearance on the Christmas dinner - MONEY DOES GROW ON TREES—A special event at the Super Series hockey tournament In Howick during the weekend was a draw for a $100 money tree. Jerry Potts, a Super Series organizer, and Judy Strome,president of the Howick Mothers' Auxiliary, announce the name of the winner, Robert Denney, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Denney of RR 1, Listowel. Sunday School • members hold Christmas concert Whitechurch — The Sunday School students of the United Church held their Christmas concert on Friday evening. Pastor Robert Perry was chairman and the opening recitation was given by Greg Perry. The choir members sang several familiar carols and the Perry family presented a skit. Alison Wardrop sang a solo and Lisa Chapman en - of the turkey table, remove the stuffing from both cavities and re- frigerate. It's wise to freeze any that can't be used within three days. At sub -zero temperatures, it will keep for two months. Chill the turkey as quickly as possible after the feast. Keep it snugly covered with foil in the refrigerator for up to four days. Freeze any re- maining turkey. Remeve the meatfrom the bones and wrap meal -size portions in foil or plastic, according to the size .of pieces: slices, chunks and tidbits. When the meat is frozen in this way, it should be used up by the end of January. It if is covered with gravy or broth, it will retain its quality for about three months. A big bird is often a better buy.: The ratio of meat to bone is higher and the price is frequently lower, but it can mean that a consider- able amount remains after the Christmas dinner. If the turkey is treated with care, before and after roasting, the leftovers will be as safe and enjoyable as the feast. New chairman for Rec. Bd.
