Cottage Cheese
Lots of folks think of cottage
cheese mainly as a supplement
to tomatoes during their garden
season. And nothing can be much
tastier.
But don't mark cottage cheese
off your menu during the rest
of the year. It's good with can
ned peaches or pears as salad.
1t makes a good sandwich for
chool lunches in combination
with boiled eggs and a touch OF
pickle or onion, if you like.
Or try it sometimes mixed with
a flavor Of onion or garlic. salt,
pepper, lemon juice and mayon-
naise on crackers. On a cold win
ter day these cottage cheese heap
ed crackers are delicious with
bowl of steaming homemade
vegetable soup.
Bake a cherry pie without the
top crust. When it is cool, cover
it with lattice work of cottage
cheese forced through a pastry
tube.
The children will enjoy jack
o'lantern open face sandwiches
on Halloween Spread bread
rounds with cottage cheese and
give them faces" features with
olive slicer, diced pimento or nuts
or other things you might find
on your pantry shelf.

Wilmington Speaks

Rotory-Ann Banquet

On the subject of Communism
And Conditions In Korea" the
Hon. Will M. Wilmington, U. S.
Congressman from this district,
spoke before Durant Rotary club
at its meeting Friday, with Dir.
c. +. Patton, president, in charge
of business. Program chairmen
for the month are Marcus Love,
Jr., and Turnage M. Williams.
The honorable MIR. Wilmington
told of the spread of communism
in Korea and of infiltration into
other countries. He said tn e
United Nations Army should have
stopped at the 38th parallel, but
in the end the Korean war might
prove a blessing if it would cause
Americans to wake up to the
knowledge of armed weakness.
Not Prepared
He said before the war came
on, the chiefs of staff thought
American forces well-prepared,
but that the Korean conflict has
proven this untrue. He said that
perhaps the war has awakened
America to knowledge of how
far behind she is on prepared
ness, and that eventually bless
ing in disguise may be realized.
Infantry, rifles, tanks, and ships
will be required if there is a
third World War, Congressman
Wilmington told Rotarians. A
third World War would not be
atomic" he opined. He stated
that it was Congress and the
peoples fault that America is
not prepared to fight at the pre-
sent time.
