THANKSGIVING, 1947 Blessed with the greatest material wealth ever bestowed upon the people of a single nation, probably in the history of the entire. world, the people of the United States, even in these unsettled times, pehave much for. which to be. thank- ful:./.7 Not only in material: things is this na- tion blessed. It possesses a wonderful at- liberty, with a Government designed to facilitate the ‘utmost development of the individual citi- zen. For our freedom and for our Govern- ment, we should be thankful. On Thansgiving Day, reverent Amer- “icans look with faith to God, giving tes- timony to their belief in a Supreme Being interested in the welfare of men. It should be a religious day, with deep emotion, but, too often, it is disregarded for lesser in- terests as individuals seek to escape from everyday trials. Unfortunately, the churches of the land sometimes take the lead in disregarding Thanksgiving Day as a religious occasion and, for the conven- ience of the unconcerned, provide no serv- ice for those who would give public ex- pression! of their gratitude to God for his blessings in their lives. Let every citizen of Monroe county make this Thanksgiving Day one of grate- ful appreciation to the Divine Providence who has showered His blessings so boun- tifully upon all of us. THE AIR. FORCE DWINDLES Demobilization has brought the Air .Force of the United States to such a low point that it could maintain war for only a short time before dispersion of strength and losses would require reserves of men and aircraft, declares Air Secretary W. Stuart Symington. The present goal of the Air Force is seventy groups by June 30, 1948, with to- tal manpower of 401,000. Today the Force includes 325,000 men, of which 21,- 000 are pilots and something more than thirty-two air groups. Recently, 250 Boeing Super-Fortresses and about 400 P-51 and P-47 fighters have been taken out of storage and assigned to various commands. Football, it seems, is the major en- terprise of some educational institutions. We would not have our readers mis- led; we are not complaining, regardless of what you read. Life has been very hap- py, very pleasant and very entertaining. Our comment on men and matters is en- tirely theoretical. NEED OF WATERWAY While it is good news that the ferry Carib Queen will begin to operate between Key West and Havana shortly after next | March 1, yet we would have been far | more pleased had the runs begun during the winter season. However, we would be immensely pleased were we informed that work on the proposed Inland Waterway between Bahia Honda and Key West would be started shortly after March 1. Here is an improvement that grooves. in. well with the operation of the ferry. While, of course, the ferry will carry automobiles and passengers, yet the opening of the waterway will add to the importance of Key West as a port, a position in which this eity was outstanding for many decades in Florida. One question regarding the Inland Waterway that has never been answered | and probably never will, is, Why was the channel deepened to as far south as Bahia Honda and stopped there? Bahia Honda was, and still is, so far as we know, an uninhabited key. Why was it made the terminus of the waterway, with Key West, a city and the gateway to Cuba, only 40 miles away? The late President Roosevelt must have reasoned in a similar manner when, in 1944, he authorized the expenditure of $1,830,000 to complete the Inland Water- way to Key West, but congress has not appropriated the money and it is not like- ly to do so in the near future unless suffi- cient influence is brought to bear on our representatives in the house and the sen- ate to work concertedly to make the money available to deepen the channel. With that end in view, The Citizen published on Tuesday a Washington News Letter, in which residents,. particularly business men and members of civic bodies, were urged to write to our representative and senators, urging them to try to have the authorized sum provided for in the next federal budget. The so-called vested interests are not always to be identified with business en- terprises. 2 Anyone who has traveled in Europe is aware that we are the most wasteful coun- try in the world. CARLESSNESS CAUSES FIRES While Fire Prevention Week has been observed by the nation, it is not amiss to call attention to the fact that nine out of ten forest and woods fires are caused by carelessness that can be prevented. This is the estimate of the U. S. Forest Service, which is urging all those who go into the woods to be careful. In 1946, 24 per cent of all forest fires were caused by smoers and 26 per cent by incendiaries. The acute shortage of housing gives us an additional reason for urging Monroe county citizens to be careful when in the woods and forests. A carelessly-ignored cooking fire, a cigarette butt thrown away without thinking and hundreds of dollars worth of potential lumber goes up in flames. It is the duty of those who go upon the land of other people to exercise the greatest precaution against starting a for- est fire. Trees do not become lumber over- night. The process requires years and the land owner is entitled to his property, but he will never sell any of the trees so carefully nourished over the years. Some careless person will see to it that they are burned to the ground. You have much to be thankful for in this year 1947; think it over and you'll agree. FOOD BOOSTS PRODUCTION Many economic experts believe that the answer to the problem of production in Europe centers around the output of coal and, for this reason, the spurt of pro- duction in the Ruhr is worth noting. At the beginning of this year, produc- tion was 190,912 tons. daily. Recently, however, special packages of food have been awarded to miners working in mines which exceed the best previous post-war output. Officials have been elated to note that production has reached 274,000 tons a day. If there is anything to be learned from the report, it is that people cannot work unless they are fed. It is impossible for a man, or woman, doing physical work to perform efficiently on a diet below the minimum necessary to sustain life and THE KEY WEST CITIZEN LAUGH AWHILE!

And no other stuffing will ever make the roast turkey taste quite so good. But if you don't have a favorite ‘stuffing recipe, try one of these. SAVORY BREAD STUFFING A moist, well-seasoned stuffing — enough to stuff the body cavity of an S:pound bird, ups boiling water ue up fat 32 cup minced onion teaspoon pepper T tablespoon poultry seasoning 146 teaspoons salt 2 tablespoons diced celery 3 quarts lightly packed, day old bread crumbs 2 tablespoons minced parsley Combine the boiling water, fat, and onion, and simmer 5 minutes.

Dip the potato slices in %4 cup melted fat and arrange them in pan. Bake in very hot oven (450°F.) 35 to 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and brown, Turn once during, baking. Serves 6. TIMELY FOOD TIPS 1, To gain time on busy Thanks- giving morning, stuff your bird the day before and keep it re- frigerated until roasting time. 2, To avoid spoilage, store white potatoes and onions in a dry, ‘cool, dark place — but avoid freezing temperatures, THANKSGIVING BREAKFAST NOTE Serve canned grapefruit juice or grapefruit halves, hot cereal with brown sugar and milk, raisin toast, and coffee or milk. Or if you prefer plain toast, mix some raisins in with your hot cereal, SDAY) NOVEMBER 27 POTATO AND CELERY STUFFING A good bread-saving stuffing—enough to stuff the crop and body cavity of a - i 4-pound chicken or duck. 8 medium white potatoes 1 cup hot milk teaspoons salt teaspoon pepper % eggs, beaten tablespoons fat large onion, minced cups lightly: packed day-old bread erumbs 2 cups minced celery @ tatlespoons minced parsiey Pare potatoes and cook tn boiling water until tender.

So if you’re roasting a turkey for the first time, be sure to follow reliable directions for roasting your Thanksgiving bird. 2. To tell when your turkey is done, press the thickest part of the drumstick between the fingers, using a piece of clofh.or paper to protect your fingers, If the drumstitk is soft, the bird is done.
