Turkey Hash, ct al.
Or rather, ct all turkey hash. If you
get what l mean. Even if it did take
us a week to do it. 1 don't mind cold
turkey, warmed over turkey, turkey
sandwiches, creamed turkey and waf-
files, and the last roundup, but when
it comes to turkey bone soup, you can
drop me off at the next corner, near
a restaurant, and don't forget to hold
out your wing. Pardon me if l not
only think but talk turkey this week.
The old bird did have pair of good
looking legs-if l wasn't talking tur-
key I'd have said imbs-and that's
where I come in. wouldn't give two
cents a pound for legless turkeys,
whereas I'd be willing to pay two
cents a pound more than regular price
for liverless and gizzardless bird.
It's worse than picking bones out of
fish-this separating Of small pieces
of gizzard and liver from the creamed
mixture served TTDA (the third day
after.
A good use for gizzard and liver is
to make a salad out of it. Place a gen
erous supply of gizzard and liver in
the center of a dish on inviting silver
of lettuce, making them the hub, so to
speak, in a wagon wheel. Around the
outer edge, or rim, through spokes,
cranberry sauce, nodded jello and
fruit, apples, nuts, carrots and celery,
cut in little squares. Eat slowly from
outed edge, or rim, through spokes,
until hub is reached. By that time din
ner is over, and anyway you're sup
posed to leave a little something on
the plate. So just leave the gizzard
and liver. If used in this manner the
gizzards and livers viii last indef-
nitely, and what more could be de-
sired?
And now we are wondering how
many of the deer killed this year had
halter marks about their heads.
And we also wonder if the gun ex-
pert, j. Frank Browning, in hunting
deer, used the Especial bargain" gun
he picked up at the public sale of the
belongings of the late James Painter
recently. 1t is family rumored around
that the expert thought he was get
ting a repeater for little or nothing
when in reality it was an old model
single shot. All, me; if tits true, it's
too bad.
A patron who came in to pay his
subscription the other day said he
could pay it cheerfully if he were as
sured that it would buy Scoop a new
pair of pants to "take the place of
those striped ones he always wears in
his picture at the head of the col
umn."
With hat like the one in the pic
ture, why should anyone pick on new
pants first? But the customer is al
ways right, so I'll see what can be
done about it.
In a story in the Cumberland News
the other day about the sportsmen's
meeting in Baltimore, it said: During
the coming year Maryland sportsmen
will see many changes in the COVER
sation laws"
Yes, we could easily dispense with
so much talk about the weather, poll
tics, scandals, gangsters and kidnap-
pers. But don't ask me what could be
substituted. Not the NRA or Postmas-
ter General Farley. Maybe the State
Roads deficit would make a good sub
stitute for this week and next, any
way.
It's always the innocent fellow who
gets the bumps-or the cuts as it
turned out in this case. A man who
noticed wrecked car on the highway
stopped his automobile to investigate.
He found six people in the overturned
machine and none of them could get
the door open. Up on the car he
jumped and started hauling them up
through one of the doors which he
succeeded in opening. AS each one was
taken out and examined it was found
that nobody had scratch. After pull
ing the last one up the Good Samar-
titan slipped and rammed his foot
through a glass, cutting deep cash
in his leg. He had to be taken to a
doctor Immediately and given first aid.
Just one of life's little jokes, if you
