curity and fellowship, drew the
families together into bands and
then into tribes, and finally into
nations. As civilization develop.

breakfast? If you are and they
are one of your favorite foods
you will welcome the suggestion
of serving luncheon pancakes in
u tasty new way. Stacks of ten
der golden brown ptncakes serv-
ed with shredded cheese between
and topped with creamed mush-
rooms is flavor combination you
will really enjoy at lunch-time.
The success Of any pancake de-
pends on the ingredients of the
batter and the method Of cooking.
The pancakes to be really good
should contain plenty of melted
butte for flavor and should be
turned only once during cooking.
Another buttered vegetable, 9TH

with the pancakes or you may
want to substitute . crisp green
