Perpetual Accuracy-

without winding

SIXTEEN TEAKS ago, Rolex an nounced a miracle of zoth-century research: the creation of the first per manently waterproof and self-winding watch in the world. Today, the Oyster. Perpetual graces the wrists of men and women-la every continent, and bas borne the test of every climate.

The secret of the Oyster Perpetual is a patented rotor which turns per petually on its own axis, so that the lightest motion of the wrist automa- tically winds the movement~and keeps it wound. In addition, the permanently moisture-proof and dustproof patented Oyster case protects the watch against damp and dit-its greatest entides.

Cased in steel et glowing 18-carat gold, the Oyster Perpetual is indeed the world's finest waterproof and self- winding watch—bar one. That excep tion in the Rolex Datejun, the first and most perfect waterproof and self- winding calendar wrist chronometer.

Press the carving fork firmly into centre of the breastbone at its highest point.

Cut the leg off where its second joint is attached to the back; then separate the drumstick from upper part of leg.

Cut off the wing at body joint-same way as the leg. Taking off leg and wing first makes it easier to carve the breast.

Carve the breast in thin slices, working up from wing towards breastbone. Don't hack. It makes the turkey difficult to carve afterwards, and the meat will be stringy.

If the player answers correctly, the referee says, "You can go.”

The game goes on until each member of the party has chosen correctly, and has been given the

If I were at the party my choice would be "a duster and a muiller". Then, on the second time round. "s doormat and a mackintosh".
