FIRST SHAD CAUGHT
IN NANTICOKE RIVER

The first shad from the Nanticoke
River this season have been caught
at Sharptown, Md, IL miles below Sea
ford. A roe and two buck shad were
caught by a Sharptown fisherman.
The catch caused furry among
Seaford and Blades fishermen, who
begin at once to get their seines out
and overhaul them preparatory for
the fish. Some of the, local fishermen
all ready have their seines in readi-
ness to float them down the river and
by the last of the week the river will
be alive with float seines and swift
like power boats which ply up and
down the river, buying the shad catch
as fast as the fishermen pull them in
Old fishermen there say the season
should be good one

Good Friday And Easter
Call For Hot Cross
Buns, Skinned Cake

Hot Cross buns, bearing all Of them
the mark of the cross, in an uncon-
scious tribute to the Gallileean.
The Hot Cross bun is the bread for
a day of fasting. But the Simnel Cake
once so popular, now so little known,
is the cake for the feast day. And,
so we have the Hot Cross bun for
Good Friday and the Simnel Cake for
Easter Day.
While the bakeries will be display
ing Hot Cross buns on Good Friday,
there are many homes in which their
own buns will be baked. Here is an
excellent and popular recipe taken
from an old English cook book:
HOT CROSS BUNS
Have Ready:
2 pounds flour

ly have been too high for most people
to use. Broccoli and cauliflower are
already more reasonable while beets,
carrots, cagbage, onions, spinach and
turnips continue to be the standbys of
the average budget. Old potatoes are
attractively priced.
Grapefruit continue to be cheap,
more liberal upplies of strawberries
are expected while apples, bananas
and oranges are still the backbone of
the winter fruit diet.
Here are three dinner menus built
around foods to be found in most mar
kets at reasonable cost.

The bunny rabbit rolls q brightly
colored egg into nest close by the
house and Easter Day, the day of the
Resurrection, has dawned.
Even the name of the day "Easter"
is something to ponder. It comes from
the old German mythology and is a
survival of the name of the Anglo
Saxon goddess of spring Eastre or
Ostara of Aster. The German name
for the Resurrection Day is "Ostern"
a direct descendant of the ancient
name.
All wrapped up in tradition and
myth, the great lay of the Christian
religion brings with it remnants of
many an old, old faith, but all spring
from a common source and point to a
common goal-the coming of a bet
ter day-the promise of a new birth
of a Resurrection.
While, on the other hand, the hui
man race stretches up it's hands and
it's heart and strives to attain high
er spiritual plane at the same time it
looks about for that highly material
human element-food. And so we find
Easter Sunday and the important days
of Easter Week bringing into modern
days many quaint old tradition char
acterized by food.
There is the curious custom, now al
most obsolete, of eating the red her
ring who ride away on horseback. This
was a dish of corn salad in which was
placed the red herring cut in the fig
ure of man on horseback. It desig-
mated the passing of the long Lenten
season of fasting.
And then, during the period in Eng
land when bigotted peaantry laid the
Crucifixion upon the conscience of the
Jews, there was maintained the habit
of eating large piece of bacon, cook
ed in mess of green's as an express
ion of hatred on the part of the Christ
ian for the Jew.
In England, too, there developed the
practice of eating Hot Cross buns on
good Friday and this practice has car
ried over into our own day. On Good
Friday hardly bakery in the land but
will advertise its supply of Hot Cross
buns.
The Hot Cross bun is, in turn, des-
cended from much more ancient prac
tice-that of the old, old tradition that
as one eats of the body Of the strong
man, one absorbs the virtues of the
strong man and as one eats of the
body of the god or GODDESS in SYMBOLIC
form, as in the shape of the cross,
marked upon the bit Of bread, so one
takes on the virtues Of the god or
goddess. And so we have come TO eat

1 large egg

Cream the butter and sugar, add egg
stir in as lightly as possible flour.
Work the sugar, ground almonds and
eggs to stiff paste and roll out the
size of a cake pan. Put half the cake
mixture into lined cake tin. Add
the almond paste, and lastly the Sec
ond layer of cake. Bake in moderate
oven from one to one and a quarter
hours.
This makes one good sized cake.
Both the recipes for Hot Cross
Buns and Simnel Cake are authentic
old English recipes.

lying it all soon becomes apparent.
The volunteer workers on their way
to the main ballroom in which the
luncheons are held pass through the
small ballroom first. Here a smaN
army of auditors is posted to take in
the fat report envelopes with their
stuffings of cash and pledges from
the volunteer chairmen. A preliminary
count is made so last-minute reports
can be given at the luncheon. Police
stand guard over the new contribu-
tons and as soon as the count is
made they are loaded into an armored
car for removal to the bank.
The totals are given to the six unit
Charmen or unit members designated
to make reports for the day. AS the
daily returns are reported at the
luncheon they are posted on giant
''SDreboard" behind the speakers
table. This board shows the number
of givers, the amounts and the per-
centaee Of the quotas, for the prior
meetings of the campaign. for the day
and for the campaign to date. unit
by unit.
Ernest Demer, head waiter in charge
of the Chest luncheons, has performed
that duty ever since the Chest started
10 years ago. He manages his job
with as great a display of efficiency as
the Chest group itself. serving between
700 and 800 persons in fiat 20 min
utes.
In spite of the crowds, I ALWAYS
see many familiar faces" Demer said.
1T looks like once a person gets inter-
ested in the work of the Chest he
never loses his interest. Lots of the
people I see here now were here 10
years ago"
A feature of every luncheon meeting
Is the passing of little polished wooden
boxes, one to each table Into these,
the volunteer workers drop contribu-
tlonS to pay the cost of the luncheon
so the expense will not fall on the
Chest. The luncheon meetings have
become standard because noon has
been found the most convenient meet
ing time for most of the solicitors.
Evening meetings would interfere
seriously with the work of solicitation
BY combining quick, snappy report
program with luncheon, it has been
possible to get the work done without
interference either with the daily
work of the volunteers or with their
Chest soliciting.
Chest pictures, posters and charts
have been fixture in virtually all
Government departments since the
opening of the campaign two weeks
ago. The Governmental Unit started
its work by sending special poster dis
plays to the various departments. The
departments and their many units
have supplemented these with many
more, showing the progress of teams
within their own organizations.

the graphic section, has four others
of her staff working part of each day
