Edna Ferber To Speak
 x At War Bond Gathering

Edna Ferber, celebrated author of Cimarron, So Big, Show Boat, and Dinner at Eight, will speak at the Book and Author War Bond Rally to be held here on February Ii.
 In addition to Miss Ferber other notable speakers include s. J. Perel- man famed humorist, writer and author; Christopher LaFarge noted American poet and Henry Seidel Canby distinguished critic, essayist and editor of the Saturday Review of Literature. MT. Perelman will be master of ceremonies at the giant rally.
 A New Yorker by adoption, most of Miss Ferber'S novels are set in the, midwest region of her birth and early nfe-Tllinois, Minnesota, Wis conSin, and the upper Mississippi Valley. Only occasionally does she venture as far afield as New York, New Orleans and Vienna. The city that excites her greatest enthusiasm is Chicago where, as she puts it: '"The president of the Hyde Park Bank and Charley, who delivers your groceries, can both be seen bare-legged, scant bathrobe pillow ing in the breeze, making for the beach at the foot of Fifty third street..
 Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Miss Ferber spent most of her girl hood in Appleton, Wisconsin, where her father owned general mer- chandiSe store. Her life there with B. Hungarian-born father and Milwaukee-born mother is recorded delightfully."- and significantly in her autobiography, A Peculiar Treasure. At seventeen when she was grad uated from the Ryan high school of Appleton, her graduating essay describing women workers in local mill, pleased local editor who gave her . job as reporter at $500 a week. Tn 8 few years she became reporter for a Milwaukee news paper and while still in her twenties published her first book, Dawn O'Hara. This was followed by the Emma McChesney stories, published under the title Roast Beef Medium, Fanny Herself, Cheerful by Request, The Girls, and, finally, So Big. The typist who copied the manuscript of So Big showed so little interest in the story that Miss Ferber decided it was worth less and wrote to her publisher that he had better not print 1t. When he insisted on doing so, it proved to be her first real best seller.
 Nest famous of her many short stories is Old Man Minick which George s. Kaufmann made into a play. Almost all her books have

 William Allen White and many others have noticed that Edna Fer ber'S stories are all about the mid dle class and the middle west. Her characters are never idle rich nor idle poor. They are always hard workers of medium income. She believes in work for both sexes. I've always felt sorry for any wo- man who could play whenever she wanted to-" explains Miss Ferber. Chocolate is no treat for a girl in a candy factory. Play is no treat for an idler. When you work $50 mornings a year, a game of golf on the 351st morning is lark.

Turkeys too valuable to take
chances with its roasting. AS
il now looks, we'll have enough
to give each civilian about 3
pounds this year, after the boys
in service get theirs.
Here's some good turkey talk
by Kathryn B. Niles, home econ
omist of the Poultry and Egg
National Board:
Cook by dry heat in an open
pan. No water is added to the
pan, no cover is used, and no
basting is done. Equipment: a
shallow pan and rack. The shall
low pan allows the heat to cir
culate around the bird. A rack,
at least y inch high, raises the
bird off the bottom, keeping it
out of the pan juices. For a
large turkey, the broiler pan and
its rack are excellent for roast
ing.
ROAST SLOWLY
Roasting slowly at low tenn
peratures means less shrinkage,
less loss of juices from the meat,
and assures better flavor and
appearance. Use an oven tenn
perature of 325 degrees F., or
moderately low, for the average
sized turkey, and 800 degrees F.,
or low temperature for large
turkeys. At these low tempera-
lures, any roast needs little, II
any, attention as it cooks. An
8 to 1O-pound bird will require
about 3 TO 3l2 hours, a 10 to IA
pound bird about 3 y to 4 hours,
and a 14-18-pound bird, Az to
5 hours. Knowing about how
long it will take to roast the bird
is necessary so that all foods for
the dinner may be ready at the
same time.
Place the trussed bird breast
side down on the rack in the

pan. Seasoning the outside Of
the bird is useless since the sea-
soning does not penetrate the
skin, and the "salters" will salt
and pepper anyway. Cover with
a clean white cloth moistened
with melted cooking fat. The
Administered cloth holds the
fat and keeps the bird creased,
doing away with the necessity
for basting. Roast until half
done, place bird breast side up,
replace cloth over top of bird.
RemoiSten cloth with fat if it is
dry. Continue roasting until
done. Remove the cloth the last
20 to 80 minutes should the bird
not be Drowned to suit. To
know when the bird is cooked to
just the right turn, make this
test: press the thickest part of
the drumstick between the fin
gers, if quite soft, the meat is
well done.
When dinner is set for a def
mite hour, the wise homemaker
will start the bird about a half
hour ahead of schedule. There
is always the possibility that the
bird may take a little longer
than estimated. And most i'm
portant. it allows ample time
for making gravy, removing the
trusting cords, and arranging
the bird on the platter.
