POWDERED EGGS?
COOKIE RECIPE.
(E. B. r., CheUerly)

tE. q. H., CHGUETLV
I have enjoyed the RICH so
much. We've removed stains
from the bath tub, eaten ap-
pie delight. and noted chill
dren's book lists from it Now
can any one tell me how to use
powdered eggs? Do they work
we'll in cakes? I am going
overseas where food is expen-
sive and will need to use them.
I've heard powdered milk is
easily sifted into recipes with
the flour, which eliminates
having to mix it.
Piggyback cookies use up
often-WaSted bacon fat. "a
Navy wife in California orig
mated it, One cup bacon
fat (only that will do), 20 cup
brown sugar, 2 eggs. l teaspoon
cinnamon, teaspoon nutmeg.
/ teaspoon soda. Enough flour
to make a stiff dough plus II
cup chopped nuts. Proceed as
for refrigerator cookies. This
makes two good-sized rolls Of
dough.

tMISS Il. NJ, (HSDeTtV
To Mrs. E. S., Arlington:
Yours is one request from
which I get great enjoyment
in replying. I have not lived
in Los Angeles since 1945 Il
was there for a year,, but I
can tell you something about
1t since I have been back
twice, once in 1949 and again
in the summer of 1852. Also
have numerous relatives liv-
ing there, with which I am in
close contact.
To begin with, there are
plenty of jobs, but the Cham
Der of Commerce usually adj
vises prospective inhabitants
to try to get one before COM
ing out. I suggest you write
the Chamber of Commerce
and also try to get a Sunday
edition of the Los Angeles
Times. They usually come in
on Thursday to the out-of-
town newSstands and if you
can't get one there, write to
the paper and they will send
you one for a quarter.
Living conditions are fine
and everything is cheaper
than here. especially food.
There is nothing like q Cali
fornia supermarket. am not
exaggerating when I say that
you can get Strawberries the
size of Florida lemons.
Their schools couldn't be
finer and Spanish is taught
even to pupils in grammar
school.
The weather has only one
drawback and that is smog.
It is worse in the center of
town than in the suburbs I
think, but it doesn't seem to
be driving people away. Also
there are occasional earth
quakes, but don't let that
worry you, they're not so bad
when you get used to them.
OF course. you're probably
already aware of the recrea-
tional advantages. There's al
ways somewhere to go that
doesn't cost a penny. All I
can add is that it's wonder
full country.

ROTISSERIE
mrs. L. S. NJ, washington


With regard to Mrs. E. c. WIS
request for information on
rotisseries, I have had one for
almost a year and it is truly
a must in my kitchen. ! use 1t
practically every day for broil-
ing bacon, steak, chops, ham,
burger, etc. We think chicken
cooked on the rotisSerie is very
tasty. For a whole chicken !
use prongs to hold it on spit,
but for cut-up chicken ! used
the rack that is for hamburg
erS. It is like an old-fashioned
wire toaSter attached to the
spit. Mine is the rotisserie-
broiler type and the top lifts
up for cooking vegetables. It
is wonderful for frying pam
cakes at the table and cooking
bacon at the same time. The
brand name is two words
which start with "B" and end
with "K." It is very easy to
clean and there is no smoke or
grease in the kitchen. It broils
as quickly as the stove oven,
but the top for cooking vege-
tables is not as fast as the
stove burners. ! am sure you
would like one.

FREEZING PIES.


mrs. r. o., Arlington)
I have some good news for
Mrs. j. L. G., Alexandria. con-
corning freezing pies and pie
shells. I have found it best
to bake pies in cooking glass
pie plates. When the pie is
cool, slip into an aluminium pie
plate, wrap in foil and freeze.
Use deep dish or double crust
pies within four months. Chit
fon pies will keep for weeks.
After the pie has set, cover
with a second pie plate to
protect it. Baked pumpkin pie
may be baked for short stor-
age. Pie shells may be baked
and frozen when cooled. Wrap
and stack either in or out of
plates. If you have any more
questions, write me in care Of

LUTHER D. BURRUS. JR.
RECEIVES PROMOTION

Luther Dudley Burrus, Jr.,
senior non-commissioned officer
at Cape Hatteras Lifeboat Sta
ton, has this week donned the
uniform of Chief Bos'n Mate, the
promotion coming upon passage
of the required examination and
the recommendation of his SUI
perior, Chief Warrant Officer
Harold Glynn, Group Command
er.
Chief Burrus has completed Is
years of service. He was born in
Hatteras two weeks after the
signing of the Armistice ending
the First World War, on Novem-
Der 25, 1918. He entered the serv-
ice at Norfolk July /, 1889 and
on April 10, 1912 was dispatched
to the South Pacific.
On duty in that area for Ia
months young Burrus was pre-
sent and in charge of a landing
craft when the Marines were put
ashore on Guadalcanal and con-
tinued on duty there until the
Marines were evacuated and re-
placed by the Army. He took
part in all these operations.
At one time while attached to
the Marines for duty Burrus was
pinned down for "a hours in a
fox hole that scarcely contained
him when the japanese rained
mortar fire without interruption
for three days and four nights.
Seven years ago Burrus was
assigned to duty at Cape Hat
teras station and has continued
here. He has recently completed
new residence in Hatteras. He
is married to the former Dolores
Harris of Norfolk, and they are
the parents of two daughters
and one son.

WORDS AND BLOWS IN
BOARD OF EDUCATION
Chairman Perry Resents Balances
Remarks and Pastes Him Blow
in Face Monday

Not during all the row about the
Cape Hatteras School, as rough
and as bitter as it has been during
the past five years, did anyone
come to blows. But on Monday of
this week, after the contract had
been let for the building, a battle
ensued. Board member Robert Bal
lance of Manteo called Chairman
Walter Perry of Kill Devil Hills
dam lying sob, whereupon Per-
ry pasted him a stiff blow in the
face and eyes. In the ensuing
scramble he sustained cuts and
scratches and Balance is wearing
dark glasses this week.
Perry said he didn't take that in
the presence of ladies anyway. The
incident occurred during the board
of education meeting. The trouble
seems to be the outgrowth of the
case of Jim Lamb Farrow, the
Negro janitor of the Manteo
school, who reported Balance got
mad and fired him during the sum-
mer. The chairman put the janitor
back to work sometime later, pend
ing the meeting of the board. Early
this month, the board reinstated
Farrow in his job. Balance has
since contended rnat he never fired
/ the Negro, there was never any
trouble, he did not intend to do
anything about tor rather he
said there was not word of truth
in any of the report as published.
The school contract was let this
week to the low bidders as publish
ed in this paper last week, total
ing $182,479. The general contract
went to Hunt Const. Co. of Dur
ham, $146,000; electrical to New
Home Appliance Co. of Elizabeth
City, $1,000; plumbing and heat
ing to Kenan and Corey of Eden
ton for $13,921, and heating to the
same company $12,9O8.
The cost of land, architects fees,
etc. will bring the total cost of
the school to about 100000. 1t
will be erected on site containing
ten and six tenths acres of land.
The building will have ten class
rooms, an auditorium, an all-pur-
pose science room, library, cafe
terra, principals office, rest rooms
for teachers, rest rooms for pupils,
the primary rooms will each have
their own rest rooms. There will
be book room, two storage rooms.
Construction will be brick veneer.

one of the Americamera features
in the November issue of Ford
Times, a Ford Motor Company
magazine with 100000 national
circulation.
The illustrated article on the
stubborn lake in North Caro-
lina's Hyde County tells of the
unsuccessful efforts to drain it
in the early Thirties to expose
land for a giant farm. Now a
federal game and wildlife pre-
serve, Mattamuskeet is shared
by 200 species of waterfowl, and
the surrounding acres provide
excellent shooting for upland
birds and a variety of game.

GRIGGS LETS,GO
CROATAN HOTEL
TO BRIGGS & co.
Elizabeth City Group Takes
Over One of Dare's Fin
est Beach Hotels

The news of the sale this week
of the ;Croatan Hotel at Kill Dew
ii Hills by the owners, Russell A.
and Bernie Hampton Griggs, will
be received with great interest.
The Croatan was built some 20
years ago, and is at tops with the
finest and most successful on the
Carolina coast. The buyers are
Tom Briggs, Lorimer Midget,
Wayne Massey of Elizabeth City,
who will form a corporation and
operate it next season, but are
taking possession at once. The no.
tel is reported sold for $4,000.
For many years the Griggs of
Waterlily have operated the fam
ed Hampton shooting lodge where
they enjoyed the patronage of an
exclusive group of sportsmen.
When they came to Kitty Hawk
and established a hotel of the
highest type, they brought many
of their clientele to the beach for
the first time, and many of these
people have made investments on
the beach, built fine homes, assist
ed in community enterprises.
The coming of the Griggs has
been of inestimable value to the
Dare County coastland. Their no.
tel has maintained the highest rep
utation for fine food and comfort,
and wholesome restful surround
ings. Through recent years, they
found the hotel brought increasing
burdens, hence their decision to sell
at what is considered a very low
sum. Their departure from the
scene will be viewed with regret
They will continue, however, to
reside on the beach most of the
time.
Mr.. Briggs is a hotel man OF
wide experience in Georgia, Caro-
lima, Texas. and formerly operatec
the Fort Raleigh Hotel in Manteo
He has a beach home at Kitty
Hawk, where he has resided this
summer.

PROSPECTS LOOK GOOD
FOR FISHING TOURNEY

Prospects for successful 3rd
annual Mays Head Surf Fishing
Tournament, were shaping up nice
ly at the beginning of the week.
n indication that surf fishing will
good, unless weather conditions
.ange, was the fact that anglers
nave been making excellent
catches of channel bass, puppy
drum, and other varieties of fish
from the ocean piers in the Kitty
Hawk to Mays Head region.
Under the sponsorship of the
Mays Head Surf Fishing Club, the
third annual tourney with more
than 25 teams expected to parti-
cipate, is scheduled to begin on
Friday morning, October %. Sane
toned by the Surf Anglers Asso-
citation of America, the tournament
competition will be held at sta
lions along the beach from Kill
Devil Hills southwark to Oregon
Inlet.
H. Willard Shaner of Margate
City, N. j., arrived early this week
to make preparations for directing
the event. He stated that most OF
the 5-person teams that had regis
tered to date to take part in the
tournament were from Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and New York.
"Prizes valued at approximately
$1,000 are now Oh display at the

Speaking of hurricanes, and who
hasn't during the past several
days, it might be news to some
people to know that Hazel was not
the first one to cause havoc in the
interior of North Carolina.
The greatest floods ever known
in the southern Appalachians were
caused by a hurricane in 1916. In
less than one 24-hour day 22.22
inches of rain fell at Altapass.
That was the one which carried
the waters of the Yadkin and Ca
tawba to new record highs-and
the destruction was terrific.
HazePs path had been trod by
another hurricane which history
has long forgotten. 1t was a Sep
TENDER storm POP years ago (1752).
that destroyed Johnston, once the
capital of Onslow County. john
ston was located in the general vi
cinity of the present administra-
ton buildings of Camp Lejeune on
the east bank of New River, hard
ly more than a skip and jump from
Topsail Beach where so much hav-
oc was wrought last week.
Martins History of North Caro-
lima gave an account of that "most
terrific hurricane" of the middle
18th Century. All dwellings, the
courthouse and clerks office and
the records were all destroyed, and
the town was abandoned. That is
why the Onslow County seat of
government today is located at
Jacksonville, several miles north
ward on the river known as New.
In 1749, according to William
sons history, Beacon Island near
Oclacoke Inlet was destroyed by a
furious storm. This island was re-
built by Nature and her tides and
empests, because later it was the
site of Ocracoke's first lighthouse.
Nearby Portsmouth has never
completely recovered from the
Twentieth Century gales and hurri-
canes which have swept across this
ow-lying village near the northern
lip of Core Banks, resulting in de-
populating the village, almost to
ghost-town proportions. The great
st exodus was probably after the
1888 hurricane which cut out in
cts overnight. 1t would have TAX
an months for incorporated dredg-
IS to do the same job. Some of
hose inlets, such as Drum, be-
came navigable and are still open.
Other like The Swash, Whalebone
and High Hills became drains that
Usually were refilled with sand
most of the time, until Hazel came
by last week.
