If you know what qualities to
Ic'ok for when you select your
Christmas turkey, you'll be able to
' take a wiser choice.
The market class of turkeys is
determined by ages, sex, and ten
d rness of meat. The youngest
turkeys are fryers and roasters
nd they run from 4 to 6 pounds
•m weight. The next class consists
f young hen and young tom
■ keys under eight months of age.
use vary in weight from 6 to
oounds. And finally there are the
■n and hen turkeys, which in
'"do birds over eight months of
varying considerable w
!ght.
Most of the Christmas turkeys
■elong to the young hen or young
om classification. To be of top
Miality, a bird should have a well
■eveloped moderately broad and
mg breast, well fleshed through
s entire length, the flesh carry
ng well up to the highest part of
be breastbone so that the bone
s not prominent. Also, the legs
-hould be well covered with flesh.
Fat covering is one of the most
mportant points in determining
luality from the standpoint of ex
cellence of flavor and tenderness.
The carcass should be well covered
with fat over the breast, back hips
and pin bones. In poultry the fat
is deposited in the skin and im
mediately under the skin rather
than dispersed throughout the leap
flesh as it is in some meats.
Select a bird that is free from
pin feathers. Ready to c00k or
oven-ready turkeys have no pro.
truding pin feathers.

dren should be realistic, with
colorful pictures and a simple nar
rative. Avoid fantastic stories and
abstract pictures because pre
schoolers haven’t yet separai -d
the real from the unreal.
Color books are better for older
children than for preschool young
sters. Preschoolers cannot keep in
side the lines and may become
discouraged. The lines hamper
their creativity. Give them instead
blank pieces of paper to color.
Information books having large
pictures, with details about each
picture, are good for preschoolers,
often giving them ideas for play.
Books are appropriate Christ
mas gifts, are helpful to children
and are easy on the pocketbook.
