The Frontier Woman . . . You Have Willing Helpers, Too By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Home making Editor It Will soon be time to think about cookie-making. Cookies really make nice gifts, too. To make Christmas cookies especially good tasting and pret ty," brush them with beaten egg or milk and sprinkle with chop ped nuts and sugar just before baking. The tops of the cookies will be bubbly and crunchy. Try making these little choco late almond nuggets or Christ mas cakes, as they are sometimes called. CHRISTMAS CAKES One-fourth cup butter, one cup sugar, one egg, two ounces bak ing chocolate, 2 1/4 cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder, . 1/4 cup chopped almonds, 1/4 cup milk, dash of salt. Cream butter and sugar and add the egg, unbeaten, then the chocolate which has been melted over hot water. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Mix with almonds, blanched and finely chopped. Stir into egg and sugar mixture alternately with the milK. Chill the dough for sev eral hours, then pinch off bits the size of a marble, press a halved nut meat or a half mara schino cherry on each. Sprinkle with grated milk chocolate (candy bar) and bake in a mod erate oven of 350 F. for 12 to 15 minutes. Most men enjoy donning an apron and helping out in the kitchen now and then. Chil dren love to play house by baking and cooking right along with mother. Why not take ad vantage of these willing help ers? Cookie-making can become a holiday project. Make the dough ahead of time, then let the man of the family or one of the older girls do the rolling and cutting. «^mldren can be busy chopping nuts and decorating the cookies while you supervise the baking. But set a limit on how many the family can eat—if you want any left. — tfw — Finds Dakota Highways Superior to Nebraska’s— Dear Blanche: Does it seem possible that it’s December already? Where did the summer and fall go? We did have a nice summer, though, ex cept for a few hot days. The rams always came in the nick of time and we raised good crops. Our garden was good, also. I’ll bet you enjoyed your va cation trip to the West coast this summer, didn’t you? We took a short trip to South Dakota and Minnesota. Had a fine trip but, I’ll confess, it’s a job traveling with children. Our four livewires get tired of riding. One of the highlights of our trip was a visit to the com pal ace at Mitchell, S.D. It’s really something to see and is not so far away. Would be a nice Sun day drive in the summer. The beautiful farms in South Dakota are interesting to drive past and their highway stand ards are far above any of ours around here for being wide and smooth. We found the state of Minne sota much like Nebraska, except for the many lakes and not as many beef cattle. Well, I guess I’ve said enough about our short trip. I’ll bet Blanche has her Christ mas shopping all done, haven’t you? Well, I am taking your ad vice this time and will have vice this time and had mine fin ished by Thanksgiving. I’ve found it a lot nicer than waiting till the last few weeks, when it’s too cold to go all over town shopping with the children. And not nearly as big crowds. I would like to know if sorne one can help me with a recipe. I would like to know how to make hamburger steak the way they make it in cafes. 1 cant seem to fix it that way»_ __ I’ll add a hint or two which I've found helpful: If your hunter brings home a duck or perhaps a wild goose, when you roast it, put an apple (cut in half and cored) inside of the fowl. It takes away the wild taste and I think it really works. Of course, when the meat is done, throw the apple away. I’ve been so happy taking care of my four children and cooking for my wonderful husband and children that when I ran across this little verse, it seemed so real: With so much beauty poured Within each moment’s span, How can one doubt a Lord? How can one hate a man? Bye for now to Blanche and all— ‘BLUE EYES’ (Editor’s note: I wonder if the hamburger steak you speak of could have been broiled. That’s the way I prefer to fix it always. If you have a broiler on your stove, follow the directions that come with it. Or possibly the cafe you visit uses some sort of extra seasoning. Try a dash of garlic salt, or mix in some raw onion with the hamburger before cooking it.—BSP.) 70th Anniversary of Church Noted UB Congreg a t i o n Numbers 302 ORCHARD—Seventy years ago in a sod schoolhouse three miles east and two miles south of here, the Orchard Evangelical United Brethem church was organized. The 70th anniversary of that founding was observed Sunday with morning and evening services, an afternoon organ concert and a noon basket lunch. Rev. Paul Higgs, who served as pastor of the church during the drouth and depression years from 1930 to 1938, spoke at the morning services. Rev. Jess Withee was the speaker in the afternoon and a talk was given at the evening service by Rev. Robert Holbrook. Rev. Walter Millett, who came here in 1951, is the present pastor. The organ concert was played by Mrs. Rachel Anderson, Wausa. During the 70 years of the church’s existence, there have been 20 pastors and about 1,000 mem bers. The current membership is 302. The first congregation was the Highland class which moved to Orchard in 1890. the first meetings here were held in the schoolhouse which stood where Thelander’s garage is now. The building was enlarged and remodeled and moved to the pres ent church site. It was dedicated December 17, 1899, under the pas torate of Rev. W. C. Clifton. Soon the building became too small and it was made into the parsonage. The main part of the present church was built and dedi cated April 15, 1945, during the second pastorate of Mr. Clifton. The south wing and platform were added in 1922 at the cost of $5,000. This improvement was dedicated July 30, 1922, by Rev. W. H. Spracklin. Salaries were in creased to $1,500 by 1930 and the membership totalled 285. The 50th anniversary was observed in April, 1934, while Mr. Riggs was pastor. The former parsonage was sold and the present one erected while Rev. Charles Wantz was pastor. He served the church from 1937 to 1945. In 1943, Morris Carter planted the grove of trees west of the church. He has since made the area a park. Rev. C. R. Anderson was pastor from 1946 to 1951 and modern con veniences were added to the par sonage and the congregation was stabilized during that period. During the three years that Rev. Millett has served the church, some minor changes have been made in the sanctuary, the auditorium has been redecorated, new sanctuary furniture and decorations have been added and pews have been in stalled to replace the opera seats used for many years.

Will mi- s lady get a new permanent this | holiday season or will she try the | new shaping technique that puts a | natural wave in tne straighte6t s hair? Either way it will be short | with that up-to-the-minute natu- | ral look, the all-American look * that is being fostered by stylists i and cosmetologists as well as hair- £ dressers. To acquire this healthy, glossy | “unprimped” appearance in hair- | dos, these two rules should be re membered, whether permanented or not, (1) wash the nair at least once a week and (2) give it a good brushing every day. This isn’t the weary chore it used to be in mother’s day when she dragged a heavy hairbrush through her curls, counting the strokes. When she finished, her hair was glossy indeed but any vestige of styling was gone. Today there is a new type of hairbrush that is completely flexi ble which means it doesn’t yank as j it brushes. The strong nylon bristles (easy to keep clean) tug Photo by Bughaa gently at the hair, penetrating to firmly massage and invigorate the scalp—and yet, because the body of tlie brush is flexible, these bristles adapt themselves to the sweep of the wave, leaving it intact but with more body and life. This season, more than ever, the natural look is the stylish look, which means hair neither flatly sculptured to the head, nor wound in tight, close-set waves. It means loose waves or curls that can best be acquired by really studious and flexible brushing.
