Mildred Lucille Zigmant, Willow

One day Mrs. Genevieve Mey-
bohm came to our school in Will
low River and asked us if we
would like to enter the bread
baking contest or the sewing con-
test. She asked all those who
would like to be in the bread or
sewing contest to raise their
hands. / did so as | became very
much interested in them. About
a week later l received a letter
from the county agent. Mr.. Ham
margren, stating that my teach
er, Miss Ireland, had suggested
me as one who she thought would
do well in the club work. And
since then | have been send
ing and receiving letters concern
ing the bread project.
| used the recipe which called
for dry yeast and liked it better
than the recipe in which you use
Fleischmann's yeast. The difficult
ty which | met was that my
bread when put into the oven did
not raise but flattened out. /
soon learned that this could be
overcome easily by kneading the
bread a little sitter. My bread
making helped at home because
then, my sister had done the bak-
ing and in this way it saved her
time, for while | was making
bread she could do something
else.
The club work has helped me
in many different ways because
l have learned how to make
bread, and also many different
kinds of cake. gems and cookies.
1t has also taught me to do things
in the least time possible and to
be careful and neat. By the
bread club work | have not only
learned how to use dry yeast but
Fleischmann's yeast as well.
think that it is nice for every
boy and girl to join these clubs
not only for what you learn in
them but also that you have an
opportunity to meet other chill
dren at the contests.
