The task of feeding a large number of guests is no small job for most Thanksgiving cooks. But imagine if you were preparing a feast for 1,345 people. Imagine how much food it would take to feed that many mouths. Last Friday, all the Laurel elementary and middle school students and their guests ate a special Thanksgiving lunch at the school cafeterias. In between bites, some youngsters tried to guess just how many turkeys and potatoes were needed for the bountiful banquet. Here’s the actual count: 260 pounds of potatoes, 18 gallons of gravy, 60 turkeys, 109 pounds of cranberry sauce, 235 pounds of corn, 18 rectangular pies measuring 16x24 inches, and 80 pounds of flour to bake 1,600 dinner rolls. Liz Feuerbacher, head cook for the Laurel School District, said the cooks worked all week to prepare the traditional Thanksgiving meal.

Christmas gift items are needed for the over 800 retarded children and adults who make their home at the Boulder River School and Hospital. Robert Perry, superintendent of the school, estimated that “of the 700 children who will be here for Christmas, over 200 are without any known relatives.” Perry explained, “Even though we refer to these people as children, their chronological ages range from less than one year to over 70 years of age. As children, Christmas remains a time of delight, surprise and worship, but as adults, Christmas gifts should be more appropriate than only toys.”

“The Great Big Baked Potato” has again appeared on the dining cars of the Northern Pacific, after a conspicuous absence during the period of the war. Announcement of re-establishment of this feature, for which the road has become famous, was made recently by A.M. Cleland, passenger traffic manager. The practice of serving the big baked potatoes, weighing in each instance not less than two pounds, was discontinued at the beginning of the war as an aid in the conservation of the food supply. These potatoes are grown especially for the road’s use, and one year the purchasing department bought and shipped from here more than a carload that had been grown by ranchers of the Laurel district. As each potato must weigh two pounds or more, the productiveness of the district’s soils again demonstrated.
The sum of $34,000 is to be spent by Yellowstone county and the state highway commission, which acts as an agent for the federal government in the matter, in the construction of three badges and approximately four miles of hard surfaced road south of Laurel that will extend to the Carbon county line. The contract for the work was let by the county commissioners after that body had arrived at a satisfactory conclusion regarding the necessity of the improvements. the three bridges are directly south of Laurel, between the city and the bridge over the Yellowstone river. One is over the drain ditch and the other two replace structures now in use. It is understood that the plans of the commissions are to eventually finish the road west of Laurel to the Stillwater county line in a like manner. This, it is thought, depends to a certain extent in whether or not Laurel paves its Main street with concrete.
Rev. Father Callahan of Bridger, who was hurt in the recent railroad accident at Medina, is confined to his bed at the of home of Rev. Father Shelving in this city.
