DON’T PLAY SANTA
CLAUS TO THIEVES
This is the month to spread
holiday cheer and good will to
man. But don’t let the bustle and
the joy of Christmas lull you into
thinking that thieves are on
holiday too.
An unlocked car full of packages
on the seats of floor, for example,
is an open invitation to roving
thieves. I would like to offer these
suggestions to help insure that
your gifts will fall into the hands of
the people you choose for them:
—Always lock your door even if
you'll only be away from the car
•for a few minutes.
—Be sure all windows are
closed.
—When you leave the car, put
packages in the trunk and be sure
it is locked. Don't tempt thieves by
putting your parcels on display
inside the car.
—Assuming that personal
belongings - and Christmas gifts
fall mto this category - are stolen
from your car, your loss may be
covered if you carry a personal
property floater insurance policy
or if you have a homeowners
“package” policy.

—Keep in mind that thefts of
personal property from a" motor
vehicle or trailer - other than a
public conveyance such as a bus or
a taxicab - may be covered only if
the thief forces the vehicle open
while all the doors, windows and
other openings m the car are
closed and locked.
DON’T NEGLECT FOOD
SAFETY DURING THE
HOLIDAYS
Food poisoning is something we
tend to associate with summer
picnics, but food bacteria are just
as busy during the. Christmas
holidays as they are on the 4th of
July.
Christmas is a time tor cooking
special foods, entertaining guests
and in general, changing from the
everyday routine. Don’t let this
carefree atmosphere trick you into
forgetting food safety precautions.
After you finish your holiday
shopping, rush your food home and
put it in the refrigerator or freezer.
Don’t let groceries set in, a sun
warmed car while you run other
errands.
Remember to keep hot foods hot
- above 140 degrees Fahrenheit -
and cold foods cold below 40

degrees Fahrenheit - to prevent
bacteria growth. To pul it as
'simply as possible, if you aren’t
going to serve a food within an
hour aftf r cooking, refrigerate it.
Wash your hands with soap and
water before handling any foods.
After you handle raw meat, fish,
poultry or eggs, wash your hands,
utensils and flat surfaces with soap
and hot water before working with
other foods. Remove stubborn
bacteria from a cutting board by
scrubbing it with soap, rinsing it in
hot water and then applying a
solution of 1 teaspoon chlonne
bleach to 1 quart of water.

mas'/ Cook it completely to an
internal temperature ot 170 to 175

tially cook a turkey with the idea ot
finishing the cooking later. Bac
teria can survive in partially
cooked poultry and "staph’’
bacteria may produce toxins.
Remember to cook the turkey
stuffing thoroughly, too. ft you
plan to stuff the turkey, do it just
before you put the turkey into the
oven. Better yet, cook the stuffing
separately, basting occasionally
with the turkey juices.
