Women Star In oOs
In The Kitchen
BY Kathryn johnson

ATLANTA (AP) - If it weren't
for the energy OF petite 98-year-
old Atlanta woman, traditional
Southern cooking might have gone
the way OF columned mansions.
There probably isn't a woman in
Georgia-and maybe the South
who doesn't cherish some of Mrs.
8. r. Dull's recipes. And her book,
Southern Cooking, has gone to
ell parts of the world.
Mrs. Dull was born in the lean
Civil War year Of 1863 at Stanley
Mill near Dublin, Ga. Reared on a
plantation where food was abun-
dant and good cooking a part OF
her heritage, she made hobby OF
trying every dish she heard about,
and duplicating everything sh
sampled
In those days, few recipes were
put on paper. "How-to-do-it" was
passed on by word of mouth. Even
the best cooks used a dab of this
and a pinch Of that.
II it were not for Mrs. Dull's
amazing memory, her ability to
take obscure directions and turn
them into tasty dishes, then tack
ling the monumental task of put
ting them all into book, many
old Southern recipes would have
been lost forever.
When Mrs. Dull was growing up,
womap's place was definitely in
the kitchen because she had to pre-
pare three meals a day.
There was no refrigeration and
leftovers went to the dog and cat
and not into the icebOx for tOmOr-
rows casserole" she says.
Factories didn't turn out jel-
lies and preserves, housewives did
that themselves when fruits and
berries were ripe. They also can
ned their own corn and vege-
tables"

If barbecue sauce pleases you,
brush it on 80 minutes before the
end of cooking time.
Cooking in aluminium foil is a
high temperature method OF roast
ing turkey. 1t gives a moist, juicy
product in a shortened cooking
time and splattering in the oven
is prevented.
The skin Of turkey cooked in
foil is soft and less brown. There
is a tendency for the skin to tear
and muscles to pull away from the
bone.
Lay the turkey on it's back in
the middle of the foil. Place a
small piece of foil over ends OF
legs and wing tips to pr e en-
punctures to the outside foil.
Bring the foil from one side up
and over the breast of the turkey.
Bring foil from other side up and
lay it over the first piece. The
overlap should be at least three
inches. Don't use a lock fold
| double fold) to seal edges-it's s
too difficult to undo when the tur-
key is ready for browning. Fold
| foil over the breast down at both
ends of the turkey, pressing close
to the body. Bend the foil from
underneath the turkey up and Ovel
the top piece. The top of this last
fold should be inches or more
above the bottom of the pan tC
prevent drippings from running
over top of the fold Large turkeys
often have as much as three pints
of drippings Place turkey in q

Why not use a different method
of preparing your Thanksgiving
turkey this year? For a tempting
turkey, try rotisserie cooking or
cooking in aluminium foil
To rotisserie cook a. turkey, first
rub the body cavity lightly with
salt. Lay a piece of foil over. the
exposed stuffing, tucking edges in
snugly. Push the drumsticks un-
der the bank of skin, or tie the
crossed drumsticks securely to the
tail. Fasten the neck skin to the
back with a skewer F'latten. the
wings over the breast, then wrap
cord around the breast to hold the
wings, securely.
To mount the turkey on a spit,
hold the bird, back down, push
the spit from the tail end of the
bird toward the front SO the point
emerges between branches of the
wishbone as near the tip as pos
sible. Insert hooks, of the spit
firmly in the bird and screw tight
ly. The bird must balance on the
spit SO it will rotate smoothly
throughout the cooking period. Tie
the bird to. the spit, crossing cord
over the breast, under the back,
over the legs, tying firmly over
drumsticks and tail.
Place the spit in the rotisserie
Brush the turkey with soft fat or
oil. Cook at 400 degrees F. OF

drumstick meat soft when the
thickest part is pressed between
fingers. No basting is needed but

When Mrs Dull was left a wild
ow with six children to support,
she turned to the thing she knew
and loved-cooking However, her
career began in modest way.
"It was a very common practice
back then" Mrs. Dull says, for
women to make up their own fruit
to be baked"
Mrs. Dull offered to do this for
her neighbors, and the word
spread Soon church folks and
neighbors were asking for more
cookery service and more informa-
ton about good food. Mrs. Dull
found herself in the cOOking-schOOl
business.
Soon she was demonstrating
cooking to schools over the South.
And she claims to have started a
new profession that now employs
hundreds of people.
Mrs. Dull went to work for a
gas and light company teaching
young women how to get the most
out of their ranges. Since then,
many manufacturers and distribu-
tors have adopted the home SER
vice idea.
For 20 years, Mrs. Dull conduct
ed the cooking page for the Attain
ia Journal magazine, giving not
only recipes and food Information,
but solving individual cooking pro-
blems for readers.
The system worked both ways.
Readers sent her their favorite
recipes, and she compiled the best
of these into her cook book

Byrd's Golden Silence Believed
Affecting Two New Appointments

Senator Byrd at a time when
the Governor might have to
overcome the Senator's obiec-
ton to a judgeship nomination,
which must be confirmed by
the Senate.
Mr.. Stephens. when asked
about the reports of a promise,
declined to comment. Asked if
he is interested in the COM
mission post, he said:
"Of course I'm interested. I've
talked with the Governor about
it, but not his successor"
The upshot Of the situation
appears to be that Senator
Byrd, who most believe in
fluenced the coutcome of last
years presidential election in
Virginia by remaining silent,
continues to exert influence
over two other Federal and
State posts without uttering a
word.

On May 81, speaking in Win

characterized the Byrd organi-

machine operated by a close,
exclusive inner circle of ad-
visers that refuses to allow new

through.

reduced to a Patterson deal
