No-Ron Pastry Will
Simplify Pie Making
By Violet FouIkner

II pastry hasn't been your
forte. here's q new method,
released today. that completely
modernizes pie making.
It sounds foolproof and
better 'still. there's no fuss or
muss. To make: Sift 112 cups
flour, Ia teaspoons sugar and
teaspoon salt into q pie pan.
Combine " cup oil and 2
tablespoons cold milk In a
measuring cup; whip with a
fork and pour all at once over
the -four mixture. Mix with
fork until the flour Is COM
pletely dampened. Then press
evenly and firmly with the
fingers to line the bottom Of
the pan: press dough up to
line sides and partly cover
rim. Just be sure dough is
pressed to uniform thickness.
To flute edges, pinch dough
lightly with fingers. Direc-
tions caution you not to use
q high -fiuted edge. Bake as
usual. # it's a two-crust pie
you want, proportions are in
creased and one-third of the
dough set aside for topping.
But instead of rolling. it's
crumbled into small bits and
sprinkled over the top.

Just recognize. Mrs. O., that
she is behind schedule on the

there is nothing seriously the
matter with her. Having lost
your husband, you have very
likely tied her to you a little
more closely than you other
wise would have done. without
realizing it. She'll have to
take one step at a time now.
and you'll have to keep behind
the scenes while she is doing
so. Talk with some of her
teachers and especially with
the home-room teacher, il
there is such a thing in your
school. Get them to put her
on committees with some Of
the other students. It doesn't
make the slightest difference
what the committee is going
to do. AS she gets used TO
working with other boys ard
girls, she will find they are
perfectly normal human beings
like herself and will cease to
be afraid of them. Get the
Sunday School teacher or SUI
