MRS. McKENZIE'S COOKIE JAR IS
A NEIGHBORHOOD ATTRACTION

ing" says Mrs James w. Mckenzie. And this
mother of four has instilled the same philoso-
ply in her own children "since it's unlikely any
of them will marry millionaires."
Inez Gale Mckenzie bakes something
every day. She also is helping her civil engi-
neer husband remodel their Mclean (Va)
home, takes care of a huge vegetable garden
in season, chauffeurS her three oldest children
here and there, and still finds time to be active
in community affairs.
Il never moved so much dirt in my life as
when we pulled out the old log foundation,
lacked up the house. then poured a whole
new foundation" she says, and adds that she
and her husband even mixed their own &C.
ment. They have been turning an old log house
that belonged to her husbands family into an
18th century colonial.
When it comes to the prodigious baking
she does for her family, she admits she seldom
measures but claims she has yet to have cake
fall II can stop in the middle of cake, tend to
the baby, come back and still I've never had a
cake failure" She uses her mothers old Ger
man cook book and most of her cakes are the
German type torte and kuchen. She never
bakes just one of anything; if there's anything
left over it goes into the freezer When the chill
dren were small and she had to stay home all
day, she used to bake all her own bread. Now
she bakeS bread about once every three weeks
and puts some in the freezer, but supplements
that with store-bought bread.
To make sure her children will want to
stay home where she can keep an eye on them,
her house is always open, a rendezvous for all
the children in the neighborhood and with free
access to the cooky jar
MY children never come into the house
without having something to eat and so, Of
course, they feed their friends. But don't
mind. like to cook and enjoy seeing them
eat"
When Mrs. Mckenzie was married she in
herited her mothers old Springerle roller,
each square with different picture. From the
time her two girls we're old enough to hold a
paint brush, they have painted the pictures
with food cOlOring At first they we're pretty
amateurish, but now they're becoming very
adept.
Springerles are just one of the 20 different
kinds of cookies Mrs Mckenzie makes for the
Christmas holidays. Her big baking spree gets
underway by the first of December because
some of the cookies, such as the springerle,
need time to ripen. Some of the cookies in
escapably are gone before the holidays arrive.

AS I occasionally remind
readers-and it bears repeti-
tion-the wise patient will
ask the doctor before he un-
dergoes treatment: About
how much will it cost?"
The doctor usually hesi-

considered mercenary to talk

have talked to, actually well
come such discussion.
AN UNDERSTANDING Of
costs does much to prevent
misunderstanding and hard

He is one of hundreds of

Each year. hundreds of pilots,

Marshal, with the aid of the
Trustees and other interested
citizens, who have given of
their time and donated money
to this end.
Funds for the project were
also appropriated by the Vir-
gin Islands Legislature for the
purchase of necessary mater
ials for this reconstruction,
since the building is the pro-
perry of the Insular Govern
ment and is leased to the Mu-
scum for fifty years, beginning
in 1851.
Governor and Mrs. Ralph
Paiewonsky have been invited
to attend this grand opening,
also the Hon. and Mrs. Ronald

the Virgin Islands Legislature.
The public is also very cordial
~ invited to see this fine
house which has been furnish
ed as a typical sugar planters
home of the late 18th century.

the hope that many persons
after seeing this spiended
house, will be willing to con-
