MT. LAKE PARK

In the past few years that we have
been writing this column it has fallen
to our lot to write about many friends
who have passed away. 1t is not a
pleasant task for us to perform. This
week we tell you of the passing of
another of Mountain Lakes cold
Guard"-Mrs. Mary Russell, who died
last Wednesday at her home in Park
ersburg. Last April she celebrated her
Goth birthday anniversary, at which
time a large group of friends from
here spent the evening with her. Just
few days before Thanksgiving some
of this same group gathered at the
railroad station to bid her goodby as
she returned to her home in the West
Virginia city. We knew her well and
valued her friendship as did all others.
And we do know that she had arrived
at a fearless contemplation of the
future because of her faith in the loo
trine which her religion taught.
We have seen some very fine skat-
ing the past week at the lake. Of
course it all started with the hockey
team Incidentally the Oakland team
failed to show up on Saturday for the
match set, but another time is being
arranged.
New Years night at the band hall
was a right big night for Professor
Mickey at any rate. 1t happened to be
his birthday and so the boys abetted by
their parents decided to give him a
surprise party after the band practice
was concluded. Professor Mickey re-
ceived a large number of presents.
There was large birthday cake and
refreshments were served during the
evening.
1t was good to see the snow pillow
out even if it was for only one day.
However the drifts have been so bad
that the next day one hardly knew it
has been over the streets.
There will be an important meeting
of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the band
on Monday night, January 8, at the
Aid Hall, according to Mrs. Harry
Taylor, president. There will be an
election of officers and other bust
ness. All members are urged to attend.
Personals
Mrs. Elmer Gosnel and son. Carl
Warren, have returned to their home

TRY DRIED FRUITS FOR A
CHANGE is RECOMMENDED
This Is Suggestion of the State
Department Of Health

These suggestions come from the
nutritionist of the State Department
of Health:
During the winter it is often diff
cult to purchase a variety of fresh
fruit in many communities. Since the
daily requirement for fruit in each
PERSONS meal plan includes one serv-
ing of orange or tomato and an addi-
tional serving of fruit, winter meals
would often be most monotonous were
it not for the dried fruits which are
always easy to buy, and which offer
endless possibilities in adding interest
to a winter menu.
Many mothers have a supply of
their own dried apples on which to
call, while others can depend on dried
prunes, apricots, raisins, peaches and
apples purchased from the grocer.
These foods are an excellent source
of energy, have laxative value, con-
tribute appreciably to our blood build
ing supply, and in the case of apricots
and prunes are an important source
of vitamin A, the vitamin which aids
growth and resistance to infection.
1t must be remembered, however, that
these fruits do not supply vitamin C,
the scurvy preventive vitamin foc
which either oranges or tomatoes are
daily included.
If it is possible to buy dried fruit
in bulk it is usually less expensive. In
considering the comparative cost OF
apricots and prunes the weight of the
pits make their cost similar. Soaking
of dried fruit before cooking decreases
the cooking time and saves fuel.
Dried fruits can be used for break
fast not only as a stewed fruit, but
when cooked with cereals, as meth
cd of making hot cereal more inter-
esting. Served in sandwich filings,
raw, plain, in combination, or stuffed
(prunes stuffed with peanut butter)
they can be delightful means of fur
nishing a surprise to the youngster
who carries his lunch to school each
day. At the main meal of the day
dried fruits can be included in salads
as well as in desserts. Many women
find that cooking apricots and prunes
together, or prunes, peaches and rails
ms, or other combinations of dried
fruit make it easy to include some
dried fruit in each days meals.
