London’s Double-Deck Buses Becoming 'Vanishing Species
_ *
BY MARY SCOTT
Turkey takes the spotlight at
most Thanksgiving dinners.
This has been the traditional
bird since the Colonists had
their first feast in America in
1621, called by Governor
Bradford for the Plymouth
Colony. However, the origin of
these holidays actually dates
back to ancient times. Kings
and other leaders often called
for thanksgiving feasts after
harvests, battles and fortunate
events.
Following the first American
Thanksgiving, these days were
set aside by various governors
of colonies and states. Later
the President issued
proclamations designating
different dates each year. In
1863 President Lincoln
established the last Thursday in
November as the traditional
day.
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture’s Consumer and
Marketing Service reports
plentiful supplies of turkeys
for our 1969 Thanksgiving on
Nov. 27 - and for the rest of
the month, too. So consider
some of the many ways to
prepare this delightful menu
treat.
Butter-Roasted Turkey with
Foil allows For a high rising
temperature. Rinse turkey with
cold water, then pat dry. Fill
neck area with stuffing, then
fasten neck skin to back with
skewer. Stuff cavity lightly.
Push drumsticks under band of
skin at tail, or tie them to tail.
Brush skin with melted butter.
Place turkey in center of
strip, 12 inches longer than
bird. Splice two sheets of foil
with a double fold pressed flat,
if one width isn’t enough.
Bring ends of foil together
over breast of turkey and
fasten tightly. Bring sides of
foil up high enough to prevent
drippings from escaping into
pan. (Large turkeys may have
as much as 3 pints of
drippings.) Package should not
be airtight.
Place foil-wrapped turkey,
breast up, in bottom of shallow
pan, not on a rack. Place in
preheated 450 degree F. oven,
and cook to within 30 to 40
minutes of the total time, as
shown below. Carefully open
foil and fold away from bird to
edges of pan. Insert meat
thermometer, if one is to be
used, in center of inside thigh

muscle or thickest part of
breast muscle at this time.
Continue cooking until done.
Thermometer should reach
approximately 185 degrees F.
and thickest part of drumsticks
feels very soft when pressed
between protected fingers.
Total cooking time by the
above method is about VA to
2% hours for a 7 to 9 pound
bird, 234 to 3 hours for 10 to
13 pounder, 3 to 3% hours for
14 to 17 poupder, *3]A to 3Vi
hours for 18 to 21 pounder
and 3Vi to 3% hours for
turkeys weighing 22 to 24
pounds.

moist, fluffy Old-Fashioned
Stuffing, too.

Scouts Attend
Football Game
In Lubbock
A total of 24 Boy Scouts,
members of Troop 66
sponsored by First United
Methodist Church, attended
the Texas Tech and Baylor
University football game which
was played in Lubbock
Saturday afternoon. The group
spent Saturday . night in a
gymnasium at Reese Air Force
Base.
The scouts ate meals at the
base cafeteria and *also
attended Sunday morning
church services at the chapel.
They were taken on a tour of
the Base by Lt. Charles
Campbell, who also made
arrangements for the group's
stay at the base.
Jack Day, scoutmaster,
Julian Dawson, Wylie
Worthington and A. O. Turner
accompanied the Scouts on the
trip which was taken in the
troop’s bus. All returned to
Kermit Sunday about 4 p.m.
Bill Rea, a representative of
Aetna Life & Casualty at
Kermit, will be honored
Saturday night at a dinner at
the Johnson House Restaurant,
Lubbock, for his outstanding
record in Aetna’s national life
insurance sales campaign.
Rea entered the life
insurance field seven years ago
and is associated with Aetna’s
life division office at Lubbock
which wrote more than $5.1
million of new life insurance
protection during the annual
October campaign. He was
responsible for placing
$522,500 of insurance in force
during the October campaign.
Will the double-deck bus go
the way of the dinosaur?
The last great herd of
double-deckers, some 7,000
strong, still thunders freely
through the streets of London.
But they may be headed for
the last roundup.
The all-red behemoths
sure-footedly pick their way
through the city’s pea soup
fogs. During World War II they
braved bombs and blackouts
alike.
The buses carry perhaps a
billion and a half Londoners a
year, but as late as 1948 they
carried twice as many. In the
name of economy, the bus
company says they’ll be
replaced with single-deck buses
over the next 10 or 15 years.
When the last double-decker
rolls away from its last bus
stop, more than a century of
memories will be left behind.
For it was about 1850 that
London’s—and probably the
world’s—first double-decker
appeared, the National
Geographic Society says.
It was a horse-drawn,
open-air corweyance dubbed a
“knifeboard. Passengers faced
outward and sat back-to-back
on two benches running the
length of the roof.
Women were permitted to
sit only on top decks equipped
with “decency boards” to hide
their ankles and petticoats.
Later, someone discovered
more passengers could be
crowded on top by seating
them in rows facing forward.
The steep stairs on these
“garden seat Omnibuses” were
moved to the rear after too
many alighting passengers were
killed falling beneath the front
wheels.
After 1904 motor buses
began replacing horse-drawn
ones. More than a thousand of
them carried British Tommies
to the trenches in France and
Belgium during World War I.
Double-deckers are piloted
by a driver sitting alone in a
glassed-in cabin. But the
captain of the bus is the
conductor. Continually
running up and down stairs, he
clips tickets, finds empty seats,
and checks passengers getting
on and off.
After 40,000 miles a year
for up to 20 years, a
double-decker is retired, at
Last from London’s traffic.
Some 400 are sold annually for
around $3,500 each.
