Fund Drive Launched
For New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church

A Methodist pastor last night
supported the drive to raise $780,
900 for the replacement of the his
toric New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church and warned that churches
of any denomination should not
desert the downtown area.
The Rev. John w. Rustin, pastor
of the Mount Vernon Place Metho-
dist Church, said during a loyalty
dinner" in the National Guard
Armory that. IF we let the down.

will 90 to hell"
Terming the task of downtown
church a "heartbreaking" one, DR..
3ustin said there would be no use
in building church downtown, If
lit is not going to serve downtown
Washington
He declared he was glad to have
a part in the official opening of the
Iorive to raise the sum necessary for
replacement.
S0-Year Old Structure.
The decision to tear down the
New York Avenue PRESBYTERIAN
Church, where Abraham Lincoln
once worshiped regularly, as well as
half a dozen other Presidents, was
reached by the congregation last
March. More than 1,500 members
and friends were present last night.
The structure to be built will be
on the site of the present building
at Thirteenth street and New York
avenue NV, and will follow its
architecture closely. The Rev. Peter
Marshall, pastor of the church, said
the. new structure will seat 1900
persons. The congregation voted
for the change because it had out
grown the present church, which Is
80 years old.
DR.. Marshall, who is also chap
lain of the Senate. said last night
that I'VE are driven to do what we
propose to do by three imperatives. u
One of these. he said, Is: the con-
'dition Of the present building
which tmakeS it necessary for the
church to spend more money tran
1t now has in continuing to use The
structure.
Bible School Growth Cited.
In addition he cited the "amaz-
ing growth of the church's Bible
school, adding that the junior de-
partment Is so overcrowded that
consideration is being given to use
OF waiting list.
DR.. Marshall also mentioned
"our embarrassment" every Sunday
morning In asking persons to wait
in line until they can be admitted
to the sanctuary.
Other speakers were DR.. Cloyd
Heck Marvin, president of George
Washington University, who de-
clared the task sis one which will
be met" and DR.. j. Hi!lman Hollis
ter, moderator of the Presbytery of
Washington, who said task has
been undertaken which is worthy
Of great church"
DR.. Clinton Wunder has been
named director of the campaign
drive. Offices for the campaign
have been set up in the church
building.

It is said that color In your kitch-
en- Is as important Is spice is to
food. It's stimulation, or its subdued
tones, can key your working hours
to more pleasant moods. However,
there Is no set rule as to what colors
you use. II you like gay, bold tones,
by all means have them, but unless
you can afford to redecorate your
kitchen often, think hard on this
question, for you might become tired
and bored with too much harsh
color.
II your taste runs to quiet hues,
choose soft shades Of blue, green
gray, pink or yellow. Answers to
questionnaires put out by the Amer
ican Gas Association indicated that
q woman's first choice for a kitchen
was yellow, the second choice aqua,
q soft blue-green, and the third
color preferred was gray in q blush
or pearl tone. Yellow is . natural
preference, for it is gay. 1t suggests
sunshine and flowers. Aqua and
gray are restful and, If picked up
with bright color, can make an in
teresting room in which to work.

which can't be switched around,

and possibly q washing machine,

There have been 80 many requests
for the fruit cake recipe I ran In
this column two years ago I am re-
peating 1t again this year. Most Of
the stores now have their supply o.
candied fruit 50 you can 60 right
ahead and get your cakes made be-
fore Thanksgiving. The longer the
cake has a chance to ripen the bet
ter 1t Is and the better it will slice.
This recipe is my pet, It's dark
cake, rich with fruit and if properly
aged can be sliced paper-thin. 1t
will make one very large cake or two
medium ones, a total of about 8
pounds. like to bake one in an
angel cake pan I keep specially for
that purpose. If you decide to use
this type pan you'll have enough
mixture left over to fill either reg

baby-sized pans. Small glass casse-
roles are nice too If you want to use
the cakes for gifts.
The care of your cake after It's
baked is as important to its success
as the baking itself.
A slow oven is the first requisite
and that means q very slow oven.
only $50 degrees r. A shallow pan
of water In the bottom Of the oven
will help keep the cake moist and
also tend to give 1t a glazed appear
ance over the top. Then, after 1t Is
removed from the oven, let 1t remain
in the baking pans over night to cool
thoroughly Set the pans on cake
racks while they are cooling so air
can circulate under the cake as we'll
as around it. The next day remove
from pans, wrap in a brandy-soaked
cloth (trickle a little extra brandy
over it from time to time), and store
in a stone jar or a tightly covered
tin and keep in a cool place.
Now for the preparation: Since 1t
takes four hours to bake, suggest
you cut the fruit the night before.
1t saves considerable time in the
morning. Cut the fruit with pair
of kitchen shears, break the nut
meats in pieces with your fingers

cups of the flour called for In the

Believed to have originated on the
banks of the river Phasis in Colchis,
it is said to have been brought from
Colchis by Jason, along with the
Golden Fleece, in his "Argo."
In the days Of Aristophanes, the
Phaslan bird, as it was called,
was kept in . half domesti-
Gated state by the Athenians, who
considered its flesh great delicacy.
Later the Romans priced it highly
and it probably was brought into
France after the conquest by the
Roman legions. The first record OF
its being in England appears during
the reign OF Edward the First, but
there is reason to believe 1t was in
troduced there much earlier.
Pheasants have been raised for
generations in England for shoot
ing and the opening OF the season
used to find great house parties as
sembled for 4 shoot" In this
country, pheasants are found In
their wild state In the Upland States,
but many are raised especially for
table use by commercial Arms. The
flesh tends to be dry and special
fabrication Is required during the
cooking. The argument about how
long q pheasant should be hung
still Is being debated bitterly. Eng
lish and French gourmets say the
birds are not fit to eat until actual
decomposition sets in: more moder-
ate opinion in America limits the
hanging period to about q week.
SINCE, draw and clean . pheasant
just as you would . chicken. Put q
good sized lump Of butter inside
each bird. Lard the pheasant with
salt pork or bacon, making sure that
the breast Il covered lavishly. Put
the bird in q roaster with some
more butter and roast about three
quarters Of an hour in . moderate
oven. basting every 10 minutes with
pan juices. ..-.
When the bird is tender, put 1t on
q hot platter and serve 1t with either
currant jelly or the traditional Eng
lish favorite, Bread Sauce.
Cut up a small onion in pieces and
boil In pint Of milk. When milk
is well favored with onion, strain
and add to 1t enough dry white
bread crumbs to make . sauce

cream. Add an ounce Of butter rs
the mixture cooks and season with
salt and black pepper. After it has
thickened, add tablespoons of
heavy cream, stir and,serve. Pass a
small dish Of toasted bread crumbs
to sprinkle on top Of each helping

CrepeSSuzette

There has been 4 lot Of fanfare
and mystery, too, about the making
Of crepes suzettes. In smart French
restaurants, or on board French
liners in the old days, there was
great to-do over the flaming" Of
the sauce and the crepes. Lights
were turned down, blue fires blazed
and the maitre d'hotel himself, sur
rounded by a small army of walters,
buSboys and what have you, presided
majestically at the ritual. And after
the flames died down and the lights
went up, what did you have? just
little pancakes with a sauce favored
with orange liqueur. Good, yes, but
simple enough to prepare right in
your own home.
The crepes themselves. of course.
are similar to our pancakes, but are
infinitely thinner. To make a dozen,
mix together "a cup Of -four, a table,
spoon of sugar and a dash OF salt.
Beat whole eggs and 2 egg yolks
together and mix them with the dry
ingredients. Add IL cups milk and
Ia tablespoons of melted butter. Last,
add teaspoon of brandy.
Put q little butter in . very hot
skillet-just enough to grease 1t
lightly. Pour in very thin amount
of crepe batter-it should barely
cover the bottom Of the pan. As
soon as the underside is Drowned
turn the crepe and cook on the other
side. The entire cooking procedure
should take less than 2 minutes per
crepe. Make them one at time and
serve with the following sauce:
Cream u cup of butter with y
cup powdered sugar. Crate the rtnd
OF 2 oranges with fine crater and
add that. Add a very little lemon
and orange juice and pony Of
curacao or orange triple sec. Spread
all this on the crepes, roll them up
and put them in a heatproof dish.
Sprinkle them with sugar, pour q
pony of brandy over them and set
lit afire. Baste the crepes with the
burning brandy and serve them when
the flame has gone out. &C. =
