Party desserts for spring
bridge parties should not be
difficult to plan. The fresh
Strawberries offer a perfect
fruit for many desserts. Each
day this week our favorite
recipe offers a new and inter-
esting use for them.
Fresh strawberry whip, Bavarian
cream, and strawberry chiffon pie
are old favorites that make use
Of gelatin in their preparation.
Gelatin, with it's cool taste and
colorful appearance, is an excel
lent start for many desserts. Often
the cubes Of flavorful gelatin can
be used as an appetizer. When
nodded for this purpose, pour
into a flat pan, cut into cubes,
and use as a garnish for fresh
Strawberries. or orange slices and
fresh mint.
These cubes of gelatin can also
be served in the sheroet glass with
a mound Of vanilla ice cream.
There are many clever tricks
that can be accomplished with
gelatin. In preparing fruit deS-
sertS. you will find certain fruits
sink while others float to the top
of the dessert. This gives you
colorfu1 fruit layers.
Here is the list Of heavy fruits
that sink to the bottom of the
sherbet glass or gelatin mold:
Canned apricots, blaekberries
cherries, peaches, pears, pineap-
pie, raspberries, and fresh grapes.
These fruits always float to the
top of your dessert: Fresh straw
berries, pears, peaches, apples.
grapefruit and orange sections.
and marShmalloWs.
The colorful layered dessert
uses lime gelatin. Add chopped
canned pears and thin slices OF
bananas to the gelatin. The
golden slices of bananas, the clear
green lime gelatin, and the chunks
Of white pears form an interest
ing color scheme. In the same
manner, fresh strawberries and
canned pineapple can be added to
lemon gelatin to obtain a three
layered dessert. In preparing
fruit desserts. the general rule Il
to use 2 cups of prepared fruit
for 2 cups of the gelatin mixture
For the three-layered desert use
less fruit than this.
To unmold the gelatin hold thu
mold in warm, not hot water, fol
a few seconds. Then dry the out
! side Of the mold and invert ovel
the serving platter.
These two desserts are made
with canned fruit. The pineapple
pie is made with crushed pine
apple; the loganberry jelly with
the Juice drained from canned
loganberrieS. Serve the fruit dies
sert with honey wine drop cakes
They are delicious.

NO NEW RED
CROSS LOCAL
Group to Stay with Yakima
County Unit for One More
-< Year

With the thought that it is bet
ter to be a part of a strong organ
ization than to have a weak one,
local Red Cross enthusiasts have
decided to retain their branch men,
bership with the Yakima chapter.
Recently some little effort was ex-
pended to have a separate chapter
for the county. At the organization
in Benton City last week,
it was determined to continue affil-
liation with the Yakima chapter
for another year at least.
Mrs. T. G. Browne was elected as
a representative from this end of
the county to sit on the board of
the Yakima chapter. Another rep
from the north end of
the county is to be selected. That
end of the county feels the need Of
a first aid station, and the Yaki-
ma directors have agreed to estab-
lish such a station there as soon as
they can find qualified attendants.
One such station is now in opera
ton at Benton City.

More New Phones
Being Installed

Kennewick phone users are get
ting more for their money lately,
for more than fifty new subscrib-
ers have been added to the local
system since the last directory was
issued. With each additional sub
scriber the service becomes more
valuable.
The phone company is printing an
auxiliary list of the new subScrib-
ers and several changes in phone
numbers in this issue of the paper.
Clip the list out and stick it in your
phone directory. There will be a
new issue out about the middle of
next month, but in the meantime,
get the new names in your directory.
Manager A. F. Brown reports that
the prospect for adding to the list
is better at the present time than
for the past several years. Many OF
the ranchers, who formerly had the
phone service, are considering hav-
ing the connections replaced and the
service will then be that much more
valuable.

STATE THEATRE
HAS SUCCESS
Educational Experiment Is
Proving Popular in All
Sections

The theatre has definitely found
a vital place in furthering educa-
ton. This is clearly indicated by
the performance this week at the
local auditorium of the stage pres
entation of mo More Frontier" a
play presenting historical facts and
characters. Although this play was
laid with Idaho as a background,
others are in contemplation drama
tizing this state as well.
The State Department of Public
Instruction is extremely proud that
1t has been able to present a thea
ire as an integral part Of the edu-
cational department of the state
the first experiment Of its kind in
America. The result OF the first
tour clearly indicates that the ex-
pertinent will be tremendous sue
cess.
The Washington Statae Theatre
presented on its first tour Shake
speare's Comedy Of Errors" as
performances which were attended
by $4,000 pupils Of the public
schools. Performances were given In
20 localities and drew attendance
from 123 surrounding communities.
School matinees drew one out Of
every four secondary students In
these playing centers. Surveys
showed that 30 to 80 percent Of the
pupils had never before seen a pro-
fessional legitimate stage produce
ton.
The play here was exceptionally
well done from every standpoint
and the crowded auditorium gave
evidence OF the interest created. Pu-
pills from the surrounding towns OF
Pasco, Prosser, Richland, White
Bluffs and Hanford as well as Fin

local pupils who were allotted but
200 tickets.
This show is but the first of the

FINE DISPLAY

Considerable comment was occa-
stoned by the Easter window display
in the Arrow Grill last Saturday. A
large ham backed and dotted with
cloves and surrounded with 'flilies"
made with turnips and carrots and
"roses" fashioned from potatoes
dyed with beet juice and all in a
bed Of lettuce and parsley was the
cause of many "Oh's" and "Ah's".
The display was fashioned by G. b.
Spencer, chef at the Arrow Grill.
Mr.. Spencer was at one time Chef
de Cuisine at the FL Tovar Hotel,
the Grand Canyon Of Arizona and
such speciality work as was shown
last Saturday was the regular order
of the day at that resort.

Fishing Season to
Be Opened March rs

Fishing season doesn't open until
the last Sunday in this month, ac-
cording to information given out by
Game Inspector Charles Bennett,
who says that erroneous reports
of the opening Of the season is caus-
ing him all kinds of embarrassment.
The season on all game fish opens
on April Is and closes Oct. 81. For
bass, however, there is closed per-
iod during the spawning season of
June 1 to July 9.
Hunting dogs must not be allowed
to run at large during the months
of April, May, June and July, Mr..
Bennett states, as they do so much
damage to nests and young birds
during that season. All dogs
caught running at large will be sub
ject to impounding, he states.

SIDE PARKING
LAWTOTAKE
EFFECT SOON
Main Street Not Affected by
Rule, Except for. Time
Limit; Skates and Bikes
Barred i'm Business District

Such a storm Of protest has been
raised against the parallel parking
plan that the city council tonight
sidestepped the proposition when it
adopted the new traffic ordinance.
The parallel parking will be limited
to two streets, other than In the
residence section.
Washington street for its entire
length, will require the sideways
parking, as will Benton street from
the Twin City Motors down to the
highway. Other downtown streets
will have the angle parking regula-
ton as at present.
The other section Of the new or
dinance of most importance locally
is that Of the limitation OF park
ing time. On the main drag from
the Kennewick Hotel to Washington
street a two hour limit will be en-
forced. The council thought this
regulation would prove of value TO
the country residents particularly,
for IL would chase the office and
store workers cars off the streets
and permit those from out-of-town
to find ample parking space at all
times.
Roller skates and bikes are ban
ned from the main street also. under
the new ordinance which viii take
effect week after next. The kids
can't even park their bikes In front
of the stores on the three blocks
down town, and roller skates will be
barred from that section, too.
Other regulations in the new
ordinance provide for greater pro-
lection for pedestrians and regulate
lection for pedestrians and regulate
drivers in speeds, directions and
other phases. One section is devot-
ed to regulations regarding fires.
It gives the fire department plenty
of authority to keep the eager spec
tator out OF the way and provides
stiff penalties for violation.
