Timely Hints
BY RUTH CURRENT

For roast turkey choose a
young, tender bird, with a gen.
erous coating of fat under the
skin. Other clues to roasting
quality are 'well-rounded body. a
wel1-fleshed breast, few blem-
ishes, and few 'pinfeathers.
Draw and groom the bird. and
sprinkle the inside of the body
cavity with salt. Then put in
the stuffing. being careful not to
pack it too t1ghtfy-it will need
room to expand as it absorbs
juices that cook out of the bird.
A shallow uncovered pan is
best for cooking young turkey.
And don't put water in the bot
tom Of the pan because steaming
breaks the skin and forces juice
out of the meat. When the tur-
key is young and tender, steaming
is not necessary. Place a rack
under the bird to keep 1t from
sticking and to allow hot air to
circulate. The broiling tray and
rack of some ranges can be used,
though the size of the tray inter
feres with the circulation of air
and is likely to slow down cook
ing time. When using a very
shallow broiler tray. pan drip
pings must be poured off from
time to time as they cook out of
the bird. Start the turkey cook
ing breast down.

1t was presumed that the four
power occupation of Berlin also
might be completed by July 4.
The announcement did not specify
the final boundaries of the United
States, British, Russian and
French occupation zones in Ger

the Soviet announcement several
weeks ago defining the Russian line
from Lubbock to the Elbe river

rect and still held.
Movements of British, American
and French troops to their final
positions will proceed as rapidly
