Pinwheel Rolls Yuletide Treat
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
This time of the year I like to
bake some holiday pinwheel
rolls. It isn’t hard to do. Choose 1
your favorite sweet roll dough
as a basis for the pinwheel rolls.
Stir up and let raise and then
roll out as you would for cinna
• mon rolls. Spread thinly with
butter and sugar and then add
candied fruits and nuts. Roll up
and cut as you would cinnamon
' rolls and bake the same way.
When done I like to use a
powdered sugar frosting and
enough candied fruits to give ft
a confetti appearance. I usually
bake some extra ones and put in
the home freezer.
Many homemakers like to bake
several yeast coffeecakes ahead
of the yule season. Wrap them
in moisture and vapor - proof
aluminum foil and freeze. Then
for company breakfast or for
Christmas morning, for break
fast, you can warm up in the
foil and you’ll have a fresh spicy
coffee cake to serve. I like to
place in moderate oven about 25
to 30 minutes at 350 F. If you
want the coffeecake to be some
thing special, drizzle confection
ers' sugar icing over the top of
the cake.
Or create a Christmas filling
or topping for your favorite cof
feecake or sweet roll tops by
using candied cherries, citron,
orange and lemon peel, green
and yellow pineapple and red
and green maraschino cherries.
Nuts are fine, too, and they do
give such a holiday appearance.
Such baked things can be made
up ahead, frozen and then given
at Christmas time as gifts, also.

Dear Mrs. Pease:
Well, after not writing for
some time, I decided I should
write and send a fudge recipe.
It is simply delicious. This
would make nice Christmas gifts
placed in a nice dish and wrap
ped in cellophane.
Children at school are already
making plans to help someone
who might not otherwise have a
Christmas. They are looking
forward to making that gift for
their parents. My, how the time
seems to fly!
We have a lot of snow already
this year. I have worn my over
shoes more this year than I did
all last winter. We were in dire
need of moisture, farmers began
»o think there was danger of a
poor wheat crop.
FUDGE
(Part I)
One large milk chocolate bar
(Hershey’s), two packages choc
olate chips, one pint marshmal
low creme, one cup nuts (op
tional), one cup coconut (option
al). Put this mixture in a large
mixing bowl.
(Part II)
Four and one-half cups sugar,
one tall can milk, 1/3 cube but
ter. Combine above and cook 4V2
minutes after it has reached
rolling boil (or to soft ball stage).
Pour slowly over ingredients of
part I. Stir thoroughly. Let stand
4 hours before using. This is very
simple and very delicious.

backseat drivers have saved
lives.
If your wifey backseat drives,
remember Henry VIII—he had

Heavy Snowfall
al Chambers—
CHAMBERS—This south-Holt
community received over a foot
of wet, heavy snow last Thurs
day.
The operators of the snow re
moval equipment had headaches
aplenty because the unfrozen
ground under the snow was so
soft. The heavy machines bog
ged down frequently and broke.
A few days ago while the tele
phone and telegraph services
were out repairs were needed.
There was no way of communi
cating with the serviceman in
Grand Island or of ordering the
necessary repairs from Omaha.
However, the men were re
sourceful and this is the way
they managed:
Ken Werner, local short wave
radio operator, was contacted.
He turned it over to Eugene Bak
\ also a short wave operator of
Chambers, who contacted an oper
ator at Sheridan, Wyo. This man
relayed the message to a “ham”
pal at Lincoln, who telephoned
the home of the serviceman,
Mr. Jacobson, at St. Paul.
Mr. Jacobson was in Omaha at
the time but his wife got in
t touch with him by phone. He
! picked up the necessary repairs
in Omaha and drove to Chambers
and repaired the crippled ma
chinery.
Roads are being opened slowly
due to their soft condition and
patience will be required before
they are all open.
Lecture on
Holy Land— •
CHAMBERS— Rev. Kenneth
Werner will be present at St.
j Paul’s Lutheran church on Suri
I day evening of this week to tec
ture and show slides on his re
cent trip to the Holy Land. The

o’clock. The public is cordially
invited to attend. There will, be
no admission charge. A free will
offering will taken.
