I2O STUDENTS ALREADY REGISTER, MORE EXPECTED

A student enrolment that ex- ceeded all pre- term estimates greeted the seven teachers in the Valdez School, when class Ses- sions began on Tuesday of this week. By Wednesday morning, with some tardy registrants still expected, superintendent Ruth Foy reported there were 120 stu dents in the Valdez elementary and high school.
 Most surprising enrolment gain was that made in the high school. From last years first of term roster of 13 students (which had dropped to II by terms end) the registration had been boosted to 20 pupils by Wednesday. One or two additional high school stu dents were expected to register late, so it appears likely that high school enrolment will exceed 20 and may reach 25 students this | term.
 Miss Foy said she was making no immediate plans to supplement the teaching staff at the school. ; ''The decision on the need for , more teachers will be made in Juneau" she said.
 Miss Foy announced the follow ing teaching assignments for Val dez School this term:
 First grade-Miss Mabel An derson.
 Second grade-Mrs. Phoebe Johnson.
 Third and fourth grades - Mrs. Lura Hayden.
 Fifth and sixth grades-Buck Stout.
 Seventh and eighth grades Wilson Stein.
 High School-Mrs. Ruth De- ' Ian and Miss FoY. Miss Anderson, Mrs. Hayden, MT. Stout and Mrs. Dolan all are returning teachers.
 Mrs. Johnson is a Californian, and is a graduate of the Univer- sity of California. She is new in Valdez this year.
 MT. Stein, also new to Valdez, is a graduate of Greenville Col lege at Greenville, III.
 Miss Foy is a graduate of tl'r University of Pittsburgh at Pitts burgh, Pa She received her mas ter's degree there, and now is at work on her electorate. Miss Foy comes to Valdez from Asuncion, Paraguay, in South America, where she has been in charge of a school and orphanage for the past three years. Since her re- turn from South America, Miss Foy has been on lecture tour, speaking and showing colored slides for schools and churches.
 It was while vacationing from that tour, that Miss Foy first vis- tied Valdez. Scheduled to lecture in Juneau, she decided to travel north to see more of Alaska, and it was while in Valdez this sum- mer, during a boat stop, that she first learned of the vacant super intendency in Valdez School.

act in the cold, but the action is
completed in the oven. Combina-
tion-type powders release only a
fifth to a third of their leavening
gas in the cold mix the rest
in the heat of the oven. They
have double action.
In the process of mixing a cake
much of the leavening gas pro-
duced in the cold mix recipes is
stirred out" so there is a special
advantage to the double acting
powders. Their second action al
ways waits for the oven heat.
Naturally this question will arise
What do you do when a recipe
calls for double action baking
powder and you discover, too late,
that your powder is one of the
other types. Or the situation may
be reversed. One solution, OF
course. is To keen both kinds on

phate sometimes called S. A. 81.
To determine the kind of baking
powder you have on the shelf read
the can label. All ingredients are
stated there.
Federal standards require that
baking powders contain not less
than IL per cent available carbon
dioxide gas. Because there is a
difference in the rate at which the
leavening gas is produced there is
likewise difference in the amount
of gas lost during the mixing
process. So you see all baking
powders cannot be used inter-
changeably in amounts.
Tartrate powders are fast
acting. They release most of the
leavening gas quickly in the cold
mix. Phosphate powders also re-

The Differences i'm BAKING Powders
BY Violet FouIkner
Food Editor

Whats the difference in baking
powders?" is a question readers
frequently ask. What do theyI
mean by double-action baking
POWDER" is another question that|
continues to baffie the home cook |
The amount of baking powder
used in recipe is actually veryl
small in comparison to the other
ingredients. yet it holds a key posi-
ton in the net result. It's this
ingredient that determines to al
marked degree the grain and tex
ture, the shape. volume and light
ness of the baked product. 1t is
Of the utmost Importance that tl@
baking powder in a recipe be
measured accurately. Too much
or too little will spell baking fail
ure. Since all baking powders are
not alike it is equally important
to be able to identify the different
types and know how much to use.
Before we 60 into the various
types let's see what the substances
are in baking powder and how
they work. Baking powder is a
mixture of two reacting substances.
One is baking soda or sodium
bicarbonate the source of
the leavening gas; the other is
an acid ingredient that will react
with the soda in the presence of
liquid. These are mixed with
starch in order to standardize the
strength, make measuring easy
and also for keeping the mixture
dry. When baking powder is put
into a moist medium such as the
batter, 1t starts to dissolve. At
this point the chemical action
begins. The acid and the soda
react to release carbon dioxide.
which in turn causes hundreds of
tiny bubbles to rise through the
batter. AS the dough or batter is
heated, these bubbles expand and
stretch farther with air and steam.
They form a complete network OF
little cells so that, when the bak-
ing has finally set the batter, it is
porous, light and tender.
There are three types of baking
powders. They all contain soda
and one or more acid-reacting in
gradients. And here is where they
differ the acid ingredient
is different. In phosphate powders
It is calcium acid phosphate; in
tartrate powders it is potassium
acid tartrate Cream of tartar
and tartaric acid. In combination
powders there are two acid in

BUS TRIP?

I am thinking of taking a trip
by bus to Northern Montana and
wonder if there are any expert
enced bus-riders who can assist
me.
Never having taken such a trip
on a bus and without stopping
overnight before, I wonder how
rugged it would be, also what to
wear on the bus in the summer.
I am in my early 20s and prob
ably could stand the trip If any
one can. Incidentally, I am 60
ing to spend two weeks In the
saddle after I get there. on a
ranch. I'll appreciate advice from
any one.

QUERIES?
HINTS.

from Mrs. H. E. c., Chepy ChaSe.)
I have written to the RICH
numerous times and would greatly
appreciate some response as soon
as possible as to these quite
pressing problems.
The RICH has assisted me in
numerous ways previously and I
do hope the readers will come to
my assistance now as it really is
imperative that I hear shortly as
the summer is almost here.
1. What suggestions do readers
have in the way of floor cover
ing for a screened-in porch that
is used in the summer as a second
living room. Something that is
weather-resistant yet easy to keep
clean. I do not want linoleum.
nor a rush woven rug as my past
experience did not satisfy me to
the extent of wanting to use
them again. I want something
attractive yet practical.
2. Also would like an automatic
clothes dryer but do not know the
pros nor cons on the various
makes. Would greatly appreciate
any comments.
3. What type of furniture is
satisfactory for an outdoor patio,
that inclement weather won't in
lure too badly.
4. How does one combat spiders
and their webs that are so preva-
lent in this wooded area?
S. Would any one know where
may obtain wheelbarrow,
preferably wood, either second
hand or new, to be used for dec
orative purposes?
6. I realize my problems are
growing but knowledge is the root
of success. How does one prepare
q roast to be wrapped in silver
foil? When are the seasoningS
added? How long would a four
pound roast, well done, take in
the oven?
Perhaps a few suggestions !
have would assist few to elm
mate the smell of onions on the
hands. Rub salt on your hands.
To eliminate the smell Of furniture
and other polishes use vinegar on
your hands.

add a drop of vanilla extract to
the batter. delicious, and then top
the toast with sour cream or jam.
l also have some excellent reci-
pes for cottage cheese and sour
cream puddings and fried chicken
that is made in the oven. Any
one interested may write to me
through the RICH.
PIZZA RECIPE?
From Mrs. P. E., Siluer Spring.
Does any one have a pizza
recipe? I have tried numerous
ones calling for use of mozarella
cheese, and more bitter taste I
have yet to find. There is a Ger
tain Fourteenth street restaurant
that serves heavenly pizza and if
I could but discover what palatable
ingredients go into it. Could
some kind reader help out?

PICKLED HERRING.

PICKLED HERRING. u
From Miss B. M, McLeanJ
In reply to w. P, here is the
recipe for picking herring we
always use in England where the
dish holds great popularity.
Four fresh herrings, "a pint
water, "a pint vinegar. 2 blades
mace or sprinkling of powdered
mace, 4 cloves. 8 peppercorns. /
teaspoonful salt.
Trim, clean fish. Split from
head to tail and remove bones by
placing fish downwards onto a
board. Press back of fish down
firmly working from tail to head.
The backbone should now come
away quite easily. Sprinkle fish
with salt and roll them up from
tail end. Place in a small pie dish
with flavorings and just cover
with the water and vinegar. Cover
dish with lid or waxed paper and
bake from one-half to three quar-
tiers hour.
This dish may be served either
hot or cold. I suggest If it is
served cold the fish should be
allowed to stand in the liquor as
long as possible to absorb all the
f1avors.
S. o. s.?
From Mrs. M, Washington
How can I keep the neighbours
children from digging bulbs and
throwing sand in my basement
window? Their parents don't care.
If I use a fence, please advise
if there is a faSt-growing but
prickly vine to trail over the top
so they can't climb. over. Would
barberry bushes grow quickly or
will they need a vine in addition?
What can use to make it effec-
tive this summer. Yet not too
expensive? It need not be beauti-
full, as we can't see it from our
garden. I only want to keep our
basement clean and keep the
| youngsters out.

PEEKSKILL, NY. Amp
- Because Washington, D.
c. is too biased, the Peeks-
kill board of education last
week banned all high school
senior class trips to the ma
tons capital because of too
much intolerance and ra-
cial prejudice"
This action came as a re-
suit of a request by the local
NAACP and an investiga-
ton by Sen. Herbert H. Leh-
man, Democrat of New
York. Lehman reported that
only two hotels would ac-
cept reservations of the stu
dents in mixed groups. He
said:
Il find the intolerance and
racial prejudices which ex-
list in the nations capital to
be a shameful blot on our
advocacy of democracy and
upon the nation as a whole.
''It's difficult to find &C
comodations which are nom
segregated and where they
(Negroes) will be treated as
human beings"
In the past Peekskill has
sent an average of 200 stu
dents from the high school
to Washington during the
Easter vacation.
