boiled five or 10 minutes. This is
an excellent way to cook bacon
that is not very thinly sliced since
it insures thorough cooking with
out danger OF overlooking the
fat.
Notice that in pan broiling the
bacon becomes transparent and
then turns Opaque. At this point
it IS not brown in the pan, but
turns brown on removal from the
fire. If cooked until actually
brown in the frying pan it is
usually overlooked.
Close watching and careful at
tention to the heat makes it pos
sible to pan broil bacon without
draining off the fat. When eggs
are to be cooked in the bacon
"drippings." less time and effort
are required for the eggs if the
fat is left in the frying pan. Do
not let the fat smoke. under any
conditions, for overheating de-
velops strong burnt flavor in
any article of food associated with
the fat. Overheated fat undergoes
a chemical change which makes it
difficult to digest as we'll as un-
pleasant to the taste.

SPLENDID PROGRAM OF EASTER MUSIC
PRESENTED At CRORAL CLLB CONCERT

Concentrating the great re-
ligious festival OF Easter, last
nights concert given by the I'm
peiial Valley Choral society in the
Wilson school was an interesting
portrayal Of the development OF
Faster music from the spontaneous,
melodic folk song to the majestic
church anthems.
The Choral club, under the di-
lection of Ellis Rhodes, and assisted
by the businesSmen's glee club. pre-
sented a group Of beautiful
choruseS in which the progress Of
the organizations have made under
Mr. Rhodes tutelage was clearly
demonstrated.
Beginning with the Beautiful
Savior" a simple but lovely twelfth
century melody, the chorus. in its
songs, traced the development Of
Easter music, coming to a climax
in the last number, the magnifi-
cent Festival TIE Deum" (Buck).
The effects of careful training and
coaching were evident in the pres
cntationS. and the Choral society
and glee club, as we'll as Rhodes.
deserve commendaton for the pro-
ficient way in which they handled
this ambitious program. Consider
ing the difficulty OF blending
group of trained and unframed
voices into a flexible ensemble, last
nights performance is a credit to
both the club and the director as
the music was more difficult than
any previously sung by the group.

as it was one Of the
