They were all cooked at once on the afternoon be- fore they were to be used and put in a chill room at the bakery overnight, then carved and placed in the warming ovens ready for the noon meal. The dressing was taken out of the birds and put into large roasting pans and heated in the oven. Gravy was made in a large container from drippings out of the 10 roasting pans.

The rolls were cooked the day before. cooled and returned to the store to be sliced. This gave a nice round, even slice to make the plates look attractive, and each slice had both white and dark meat in it. The cost is approximately the same per serving as roast turkey. Tendersweet Ham was purchased cooked, ready to serve. and sliced at the store. It was wrapped in tin foil and put in the warming oven and was very juicy and tender. We served it with Scalloped Potatoes for one meal and it went over very well, The recipe for Scalloped Potatoes to serve 50 people is as follows: * * ‘1' MY FATHER AND I By Kathrine H. \Villiams In those days Sabbath mornings Meant a long, long ride to town, Something to learn for Sabbath school, Going up the hills and down.
