II Sleeps No More

We often hear the statement, ut
is not what you say but the way
you say it," That seems to be the
slogan of health at Dunbar. Its
not what you teach but the way
you teach it. Health in our school
has been awakened and has not
the slightest intention of sleeping
again. With our energetic, eff
eient nurse Diggs on the job it has
to remain awake, Have you ever
noticed that some people have the
blessed quality of doing a job in
such a way that people have to
realize that a capable person has
served as a leader? Our school
nurse has this quality.

roasts and chops This method is
referred to as braising which means
cooking by moist heat to soften the
collagen or connective tissue. When
we cook the less-tender cuts long

inevitable to avoid some slight loss
of meat flavor However, in proper
braLsing the flavor is developed or
increased in several ways. FIGURING

Some people like to marinate these
meats in mixture of oil. vinegar
and seasonines. Sauerbraten is an
example. Here the acid has a
tenderiZing effect on the connective
tissue while additional flavor is
added to the meat. Herbs. spices
and vegetables cooked with the meat
add favor and variety.
Moisture needs to be added but
keep it to the minimum; too much

ROCKS ON CRAFTS?


(From Mrs. M. Mel, LandoUerJ
The RICH has helped SO many
of the readers that I am wonder
ing if some kind person could
help me.
We have a young group of boys
and girls from IL to 1S years
that have formed a youth fellow
ship through the help of our pas
tor. Each Sunday evening they
meet at church. Their meetings
are made up Of business devo-
tions, choir practice and refresh
ments. One Sunday they meet
at our home for crafts, so they
have the use of our basement.
These children are doing a
splendid job with the help of the
pastor. The girls and boys are
not all members of this one
church; all are welcomed. Their
dues are very small 90 cents)
and are used for refreshments,
etc.
My request is If any of the
readers have books on anything
for crafts for these girls and boys,
we surely would welcome them.
We have a little saw that they
can use. The girls would welcome
bead work, basket weaving, shell
work, needle work or most any,
thing. Just write to me through
the RICH.
Thank you, readers. for any
help for so worthy cause.
