PEANUT BUTTER;
ROLL, RECIPE

From Mrs. H. V. K. Herndon.j
To S. B. of Hyattsville, re peanut
butter hardening in the refriger-
ator; I buy good brand of homog-
enized peanut butter and simply
keep it on the pantry shelf. 1t
never hardens and the oil never
comes to the top. Neither have I
ever had it turn rancid, though it
goes so fast that it doesn't have
time to get stale.
And now, since I'm writing, may
I give my favorite roll recipe? I've
never had a failure and neither has
any one to whom I've given this
recipe:
Everlasting Rolls: One cake dry
or compressed yeast Il use COM
pressed yeast, = cup warm water,
u teaspoon sugar, y cup shorten
ing, y cup sugar, l egg, 1l2 tea
spoons salt. 2 cups warm water, 8
cups flour. Dissolve yeast in y cup
warm water and y teaspoon sugar
for As minutes. Blend shortening
with sugar, add beaten egg, salt and
warm water, and dissolved yeast. !
do this in my electric mixer. Cream
ing shortening, sugar and eggs until
| light, just as I do for cake. Then
add enough sifted flour to make a
stiff dough. Turn out on board and
knead until elastic to the touch,
using up the rest of the -four. Per-
haps a little more flour may be
needed if dough feels sticky. Put
the dough in a creased bowl, in a
warm place to double its bulk. The
dough may be kneaded down and
put in the refrigerator for future

Leaves on Leather

Mr.. Dubber, who has done some
research on his hobby, told us that
the art of leather carving came
originally from Spain. Some believe
1t was originated by the monks, and
used to decorate book binding. In
Spain, geometric designs were
favored.
When the Spaniards moved to
the New World, they brought this
skill with them. Here, however,
they were impressed with the semi
tropical flora they found, and the
floral motif found it's way into their
New World work, replacing the
earlier designs.
American saddlemakers in the
West recognized the beauty of this
work and went to Mexico to learn
how it was done Now, Mr.. Dubber
informed us, there's quite a bit of
leather carving in the West, al
though the skill is rarely found in
the East AS far as he can deter
mine, it is only in very recent years
that data on leather carving has
been published.

"Katish" by Wanda L. Frolov
published by Farrar, Straus and.
Company, 50, is another of the small
specially cook books. This one is
done in fiction style. The recipes
are woven into the text of the book
much as a scenario writer builds up
the dialogue to provide the excuse
for another lyric. In this book the
author supercedes each recipe, with
story out of Katishs life or her
experiences within the family circle
Katish is Russian emigree who
came to Los Angeles in the 1920s.
She found her way into the home of
a typical American family through
the energies of Aunt Martha who
had a passion for managing other
peoples affairs. Fortunately. this
time her protege could really cook.
Whether Katish is real or imag-
mary character is of little import
ance, the recipes are very real, each
one tested, complete and simple to
follow.
The gorgeous display of fruits and
vegetables in the California markets
delighted her, but Katish refused to
be dazzled when it came to making
her purchases. She had shrewd
eye and keen sense of values. The
market men soon learned that, even
though she had difficulty with her
English, only the choicest and fresh
est of their wares could get into
Katish's basket At times her love
Of company came near to disrupt
ing the household If she thought
any of the family friends or ac-
quaintances were in need of a good
home-cooked meal she would take
it upon herself to invite them in.
She had an Unsuitable curiosity
about the strangeness of American
customs and what she called the
"unreasonful' English language.
Even though the book is not fash
ioned after the orthodox pattern of
the usual cook book, it makes in
teresting reading. 1t is gay and
amusing, the recipes are practical
enough for every day use. One
chapter in the back is devoted en-
tirely to recipes from katish's own
notebook an index in the back SIM
plifies the finding of any particular
recipe.

use I might add here that you'll
have to punch dough down couple
of times after it goes into the re-
frigerator, until it is chilled through.
You may want to use the dough, or
part of it, Immediately after the
first rising. Knead down, shape into
rolls, or any kind desired,
and let rise again. Bake in hot
oven, 400 degrees, for about II min
utes. This dough may be kept sew
eral days in the refrigerator. When
it is used, it should always be knead-
ed down, rolled out and cut, placed
in pan, and allowed to rise again
until double in bulk. 1t takes long
er for the rolls to rise after they
have been in the refrigerator

QUERIES?
from Mrs. E. A. j., BrentUood.)
Id like to submit a poem by Eliza
beth Cooley. It's a favorite of all
three of my children, ages 512, 81,
212. It's called The Little House"
In a great big wood, in great big tree,
possibly be:
There's a tiny little knocker on the tiny
And a tiny little carpet on a tiny little floor.
There's tiny little table, and tiny lt-
tie bed,
And tiny little pillow for teeny weeny
A tiny little blanket, and tiny little sheet,
And tiny water bottle thot) for tiny
little feet:
A tiny little eiderdown, a tiny little chair,
And a tiny little kettle for the owner
(when he's there.
In tiny little larder there's tiny thermos
bottle.
For tiny little greedy man who knows
the Wods of Pottle;
There's tiny little peg for tiny little nat
And a tiny little dog and a teeny tiny cat.
II you've got little house, and you keep
it spic and span.
Perhaps there'll come to live in 1t tiny
little man;
You Nay not ever see him Che is extremely
Shy),
But if you find a crumpled sheet,
Or pins upon the window seat,
Or see the marks of tiny feet,
You'll know the reason why.
And now may I ask a few requests?
Please, oh please, how do you 'honey
dip" doughnuts? Should new fur
niture covers be washed in warm
salt water to prevent fading?

I attribute the moist, delicious

If all dry fruits are used, it will
take less flour and q cup to l

CHRISTIAN YOUTH CLUB
HOLDS ANNUAL BANQUET

The Christian Youth Club,
composed of students from the
Zion-Benton Township High
School, held it's annual ban
quet on Friday evening, April
II, 1947, in the Gold Room at
Zion Home. After enjoying
Mrs. Clark Pitchers god tur-
key dinner, the crowd with
much enthusiasm sang Chris
tan choruses, led by Herbie
Youngren. A number of young
people gave sincere testimon-
les of the joy they had found
knowing Jesus as their person
al Savior.
The master of ceremonies
was Don LaBelle; and the
speaker for the evening was
Dave Krehbiel, who was in
Christian youth work in the
East for number of years,
and is now studying for the
ministry in Chicago. In re-
Spouse to Dawes fervent ap-
peal, several young people
made their decision to accept
Christ, and several dedicated
their lives to Christian service.
The Christian Youth Club is
under the sponsorship of Miss
Marion T. Lee and Mr.. Gerald
w. Mason. The youth leader
and regular speaker this year
is Steve Erickson, who has in
spired the young people to
read and memorize the Word
of God. The officers for this
year are: Don LaBelle, presi-
dent; Everett Walters, vice
president; Ethel Peters, secre-
tary; and Audrey Leech, treas
urer. The purpose of the club
is to provide Christian fellow
ship for it's members and to
help in building strong Chris
tan character, which will at
tract their friends to Christ.
The club meets for an hour on
Tuesday evenings twice
month. That the club has a
healthy growth is evidenced
by the fact that, whereas there
were only SO who attended
last years annual banquet,
there were rs this year. The
club covets the prayers of all
Christian friends.
