Newspaper Page Text4B THE COVINGTON NEWS —THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2,1976 Jaclyn Gage has her say... Dear Jaclyn Cbye: Now and again, you print letters from people who have very unusual occupations. Mine is the most unusual of all, although it may not appear so on the surface. You see, it is my job to escort people to and from a bank vault in which the safety deposit boxes are kept. Now and again, I really come up with a dilly of a customer. We've got one who, during the cold weather, uses the vault to warm up. He stays in there for about two hours every afternoon. He is using the vault as a home away from home. I've got another who uses the safety deposit box to keep an urn of the remains of his dear departed uncle. He told me it was cheaper than a chapel. But the real dandy of the buncn was a small, Oriental chef for one of the local restaurants who made a visit at least once a week fatfay Evening Footwear -j/ - Shimmers U and Shines > SAVE $3.31! in Goki or Silver, Black * Match mg > Handbags I Prices Good thru Saturday ★Other Styles on Sale From S 5 90 to SB 33 eOpen evening, AUte Your Me.terCherge or BenkAmencerd Hy. 27* Next to McDonalds Hoars: Mon.

What do you do it you find a child shivering in the cold because he has no clothes: his tummy swollen because he has no food and so unhappy « because no one cares. Where do you go What do you do if you find a child bruised and beaten by a step-father who doesn’t want him around Where do you go What do you do when you find an infant sexually abused in her own home Where do you go What do you do when a twelve year old child, seeking attention at home, takes a small item from a store in order to get attention. He is brought before the court. Is this his fault? Where do you go What do you do with a child who skips school because he is two years behind in class and can get no help at home. Where do you go What do you do with a runaway child from three states away who has no father and a drunken mother more interested in her men fnends than her child. Where do you go Each child needs our help. Can we give it? With the Youth Cottage of Newton County, we may have the answer It will provide a Home-Base with live-in houseparents who will love and care for these children. It will provide a shelter for homeless and abandoned children. It will provide a caring secure atmosphere with counseling teaching and supervision. It will feed and house up to twenty (ages infancy to sixteen) children who have no place to go. It will provide a foster home because there are so few available. It will protect children from the neglect and abuse of their own parents We need this for Newton County NOW Our children ore left in bod home situotions becouse we hove no ploce to protect them, other then our toil ond our limited number of foster homes PLEASE HEIPI Newton County Youth Cottage Tbs Mtowfef beard awwber, ere sveAable to ooswor coy geesNees rbs youth cottoeor Bobby SigaMa, Choirmon, Oxford, Go .

About a month ago he died and the executor of his remaining estate had the box drilled for the contents. The Oriental thought he was a rich man. You see, his box was filled to overflowing with cheap rhinestones and World War II ration coupons. But, at least while he was alive, he thought he was a millionaire. If you think you're rich, I guess you are. Signed, Alyda. Dear Alyda: Correct. Now and then, we print a letter from someone who has an unusual occupation. And it looks like we did it, again. Smaller Houses Americans are building smaller houses than they did a few years ago. Doris Oglesby says the reason may be to cut down on heating and cooling costs, as well as cleaning time.

When we tested it, our Usters were delighted with the result: coffeecake of excellent texture and flavor filled with a heartwarming mixture of cinnamon, raisins and nuts. To have this coffeecake at its best, serve it warm or freeze and heat it according to the directions in our recipe. Cinnamon Coffeecake 4% to 5 cups flour Sugar 2 pkg. active dry yeast 1 tsp. salt Milk Butter 3 eggs Cinnamon filling, see below Confectioners’ sugar In a large bowl of an electric mixer stir together 2!4 cups of flour, !4 cup sugar, and yeast and salt. In a small saucepan over low heat stir together 14 cup milk, 14 cup water and 14 cup soft butter until luke rarm — butter does not need o melt entirely; pour into yeast mixture. At low speed beat until blended; at high speed beat for 3 minutes, then beat in eggs one at a time. With a wooden spoon stir in enough more flour (about 114 cups) to make a very soft dough. Turn out on a lightly floured surface and knead in enough more flour (about % cup) to make a soft dough. Place in a lightly buttered bowl; turn to grease top. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place until doubled —about 1 hour. Thaw and warm in a preheated 325-degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Drizzle with confection ers’s sugar if desired, using the amount given for the other coffeecake. Cinnamon filling: Stir together 1!4 cups chopped (medium-fine) walnuts, 1 cup golden raisins and 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Makes 2 coffeecakes. Peach cake It can be quickly assembled. 1 pkg. (about 5 ozs.) vanilla-flavor pudding and pie filling 1 sponge cake baked in a 9-inch square pan 2 cups thickly sliced peeled peaches, marinated in a little orange juke and drained. Make up the pudding and pie filling according to package direc tions; stir occasionally while filling cools. Slice cake in half crosswise. Sandwich cake layers together with about 2-3rds of the filling. Spread remaining filling over top; arrange peaches over top, Chill briefly before serving.
