Pound Local Business Club Head Gives Thanksgiving Credo (Continued from Page 22) assembly? It is our duty to inform wherever and whenever we can.

In order to inform, one has to be informed. It is for this reason that the National Federation of Business and Professional Womens Clubs adopted for its 1939-1941 program theme, Business Women in a Democracy." Voicing the sentiments of the National Federation of Business and Professional Womens Clubs, Miss Anne Morgan, president of the local club stated: Inasmuch as our federation came into being as the result of a need expressed by the United States government after the World War, and now that we are facing another emergency affecting our human rights because of false doctrines, the federation is, at the present time, stressing above everything else, the need for business and professional women everywhere to think clearly on public affairs In order that they may put into action their better impulses straightforward and unafraid, to the end that they may be prepared to combat those influences which are apt to retard or even obstruct completely womens progress in the days to follow. Being the largest organized group of business and professional women in America, upon us evolves a responsibility for leadership among women in the businesses and professions. We firmly believe that in unity there is strength, consequently we have a valid con-tribUtiort td and 'throiigh our organized efforts we, will do our utmost to carry it through. As no group stands to lose more by the collapse of the democratic form of government than women in business and professions, it is only logical that they should take the defensive attitude a justifiable.

Packing in solidly will make it soggy. Sew up the cavities or hold in place with small skewers.

Press the wings and legs close 10 the body and tie with cord, or use long metal skewers. Never let the cord cross the breast of fowl for it might mar the appearance. Rub the turkey all over with salt mixed with butter, Jf there is little fat on the breast, as is sometimes the case with large toms, peg on thin slices of salt pork. Set the turkey, breast side down, on a rack a large roaster. At the start, roast uncovered, without any water in the pan, allowing about 20 minutes per pounc; for fowl weighing eight to 12 pounds.

Larger birds need ab nn 15 minutes per pound. Keep the oven temperature from slow to moderate and if the turkey browns the first hour, lower the heat.

CLEAN LAUNDRY ASSURED One of the assurances of absolutely clean laundry is using the right amount of soap. Too little just wont take out the dirt; too much is extravagant. For washing machine use, start with a cupful of soap for each load. Agitate until the soap is dissolved and approximately three inches of suds appear on the top, or until the water has a thick, soapy feel, adding more soap if necessary. If the clothes ere not too soiled, the same wash water may be used for two or three lofeds, but in this case add more, soap after each load so that the suds remain active.

Most washing machines accommodate from six to eight pounds of dry clothes per load. Rinse thoroughly at least three times and blue the white pieces, 10 YEARS AIR PROGRESS DETROIT, Mich. (U.R).
