Planning turkey dinner for Christmas? If you are, and you want to be sure it's good" bird when you place it on the festive table. then follow these tips in pre- pairing that important part of your holiday meal
 Be sure all wing-tip feathers are removed. They may be pulled out easily by pressing the skin be- tween the feathers down to the tips of the quill with the forefngers )f one hand and pulling the feath. ers straight out with the other.
 The drum stick can also be greatly improved by pulling with l pair of pliers as many of the nine heavy tendons in each leg as possible.
 Singe your bird the easy way. Put a few teaspoons of rubbing alcohol ir jar lid, light, then rotate the turkey slowly over the flame. The bird should then be washed with soap in lukewarm wa- 'er. using a scrub brush, then rinsed in clear water and dried.
 Don't stuff the turkey until jusa before putting it into the oven. Three skewers should be used be. fore closing the cavity and a square knot tied after each skewer so the lacing won't tighten. If there is not sufficient opening to let off steam, the dressing will get soggy.
 In roasting the turkey, you'll find that the wing-tips can be brought over the back and tied to make Track" on which the bird will rest in the roaster.

Did You Wonder Why Santa Drops Gifts Down Chimney?

How did it come about that Santa drops his gifts down the chimney?
 For the answer to this common belief about Santa and Christ mas, we must go back to Saint Nicholas, responsible for so many other customs related to Christ mas.
 There's a story about an i'm poverished nobleman who was unable to find husbands for his three daughters because he could not afford a dowry for each. He was about to sell the daughters into slavery when St. Nicholas heard about it. Silently, Old Saint Nick dropped three bags of gold down the chimney All three daughters soon married and lived happily ever after.
 Thereafter, Saint Nicholas was often pictured holding three bags of gold. It is thought that he died about 343 AID. and historians say that for 30 days after his death his gienal spirit roamed the earth. filling the hearts of mankind with love and generosity.
 It could be said that St. Nick and Dr. Clement Moore, who wrote "A Visit From Saint Nicho- las' (now better known as "'Twas the Night Before Christ mas'O contributed most to our present concept of Santa Claus.

XMAS CUSTOMS

The origin of many of our Christ mas customs can be traced back to prehistoric times, with some pagon customs being modified to it into the Christian observances. But. as official Christian holidays, Christmas and New Year had a long struggle to become firmly established.

Last week, we looked at the new

the various instrumental and vo-
cal talents in the jazz medium.
Now It's the l0-inchers In the
spotlight.
Leadoff items are a couple Of
albums by Mr.. Progressive" and
his aides-Stan Kenton. Both are
strictly progressive jazz collec-
lions and each features the work
OF Kenton instrumentalIst who
also serves as arranger. Like
many fellow band leaders in the
business. Kenton seeks TO further
the artistic talents OF those musi-
clans who either work with him
or with whom he comes In con-
tact. One Of his earlier expert
ments along this line brought Pete
Rugulo to the iImelight OF public
fancy. And Pete Is currently on his
own.
Now it's Bill Holman and Bill
Russo upon whom the accent Is
being placed. Both are relatively
newcomers In the arranging field
with Kenton. but their works are
enought TO forecast things that
