AFTER THOUGHT:

**  A Poultry Picasso **

A six-year-old New Jersey boy is Perdue's "Masterpieces In  Chicken" Artist
of the Year. His drawing -- titled "The Chicken  Nugget Train" - was chosen
as the winner of the company's  contest which asked kids ages three to 12 to
draw the chicken  nugget shape they'd like to see produced...and that they'd
like  to eat.

  For his winning effort, Mauro Sanchirico Jr. of Marlton, N.J.,  has won a
trip for himself and his family to Paris -- including  a tour of the Louvre
Museum.

  Mauro says he can't wait to go to Paris "to see where Madeline  lives."
