QUERIES?
Star stan Photo by A. c. chinn.

mrs. L. C. S., Washington
Being an ardent reader Of
RICH, and submitting my first
request for some information,
l would like to thank all Of
you for your wonderful recipes
and countless bits Of informa-
ton which have helped me
tremendously.
I would like to know II any
of you know a recipe for the
rich brown pastry filled with
whole glazed fruit. / imagine
these are really more like tarts
but the pastry was made like
an open fruit pie with different
deliciously glazed fruits in Sec
tions of three or four. l re-
member my family used to buy
these pies in a small French
pastry shop in New York City.
Besides being so delicious, the
pies made a beautiful picture.
Also, I am interested in max
ing my own spice cabinet. I
cannot seem to find the proper
containers for the spices in any
store. AS the ready-made cab
inets come with too few con-
tainers for the amount Of
spices regularly use, I won-
der if anyone would know
where can purchase these
containers. preferably wooden
ones that I can label and deco
rate myself.
Have any Of you finished un-
painted furniture in black lac
quer? I would appreciate any
information on obtaining the
best finish. Please write to me
in care of RICH.

CATS?
mrs. C. T. F.. Shadyside. MdJ
Can someone please help me
with information about cats?
We have never owned one ano
know absolutely nothing about
them. Our house is in the
country and during the cold
winter months, we are con-
stantly invaded by little field
mice which are impossible to
keep out. Would owning a cat
help to control the mouse
problem, and If so is there any
particular kind, age or sex cat
that is most effective? Much
as we dislike the mice. we
thoroughly enjoy the birds and
have several well-populated
feeding stations. Will having a
cat scare away our friends?
Many thanks for whatever in
formation the friendly neigh
bors Of RCH can give.

ALMOND PASTE?
"A. E. M, Prince Frederick
I have read and enjoyed the
Clearing House for several
years now, and now I need
help. My mother recently re-
ceived a five-pound package
of almond paste. and we're at
a loss as to how to use it. We
have one recipe for an almond
roll, which Is a cake-like con-
coction. but no other ideas.
Our family is small, and we
wonder If we can safely store
some for any length of time.
How would this be done? Any
recipes and suggestions will be
greatly appreciated. :

Lincoln county's Red Cross Fund
Campaign to date has received
poor response from the public. it
was reported today, with less than
$500 in contributions received to
date-far below the assigned quo
ia.
Campaign and volunteer work
ers, disappointed at the lack of
interest evidenced thus far in the

meeting for tonight. Area Red
Cross officials will be present and
assist in mapping plans for a con-
certed drive next week to raise
much-nccded funds to carry on
the many public services of the
Red Cross. "The Red Cross has
never failed the people," said
chairman Harold Honeycutt. land
let's not fail it at this critical
time. If our Red Cross chapter is
to remain in operation and con-
tinue it's fine services to the peo-
pie, our quota must be reached"

it is one of the few fund cam

quota.
Headquarters for the local drive

She also stated that she would

>coUNTY OPENING ITS HEART
Jack De||inger Fund
Total Is Increasing

It's a noble impulse which is
persuading Lincolnton citizens to
"get on the band wagon" in con-
nection with the "Jack Dellinger
Fund.-" and Cashier Robert 8.
RudiSill at First National Bank
said today that the total has
reached the sum of $774.36.
The money will be used to
help the straitened tcq) finan-
cial condition of the Ralph Del
linger family, reduced to drastic
circumstances by months of
hospital and medical bills
plus the fact that neither faith
er nor mother have been able
to work since a tragic accident
of last August.
On a bright August day last
year, their l7-year-old son. Jack.
Lincolnton High School student
and a church choir director, plung-
ed headfirst from tree in a
neighbours yard. Since that
blighted day, the youth has lain
broken in body between the bed
sheets, paralyzed from the chest
down.
PLIGHT INTENSIFIES
Meanwhile, the family has lost
its automobile to try to meet eX-
penses, and the father now
thumbs rides between his Iron
Station home - seven miles east
of Lincolnton - and the uptown
section. Now, the family also is
in danger of losing its home. Al
so, household appliances are
mortgaged and in arrears.

These two respective offices
were authorized to be created at
the recent monthly sessions of the
board.
Under past custom, current
taxes have been paid in to the
sheriff'S office and delinquent
taxes paid in to the county ac-
countant office.
The combining of the county
accountant, clerk to commission
ers and purchasing agent offices
will relieve Register of Deeds w.
H. Boring of these duties. He has
been serving in this capacity, in
addition to his work as Register OF
Deeds. Creation of tax collectors
position also relieves the sheriff's
office of these duties.
APRIL l DEADLINE
April 1st was set by the board
members as the deadline for re-
ceiving of applications by the
board for these two newly ere
ated offices. A salary of S275
per month was set for the hold
er of each of the offices. 1t is
assumed that space will be pro-
vided in the court house as the
location for the two offices.
A salary raise was also proposed
by the commissioners for them
selves. The board voted, with
chairman Costner abstaining, that
Rep. Clark and Sen. Garrison be
advised that the board requests a
special act be passed to pay the
county commissioners salary of
$50 per month; no mileage allowed
outside the county. Currently, four
of the commissioners are paid $25
monthly, plus mileage, and extra
pay for special sessions. The
board chairman receives $50
monthly.
In other matters decided upon in
Mondays action-packed session,
the county fathers authorized that
the Sheriff's deputy be paid a sal
airy of 1928 monthly, no fees or
mileage. The office of salaried
deputy was created by the COM
missioners at a recent session.
The Sheriff. by commissioner
approval. was also authorized to
hire three (3) deputies, two at
$3.50 pay monthly, one at $25
monthly, for expenses.
Board members present were B.
