Using a ‘‘master mix’ recipe developed by purjue Univer- sity, Miss Mathews made the basic quick-bread mix of flour dried milk, sugar, salt, cream of tartar and baking powder. She then demonstrated its versatil- ity by adding a few more in- gredients to make orange tea biscuits and apple muffins. The remainder of her recipe was di- vided into four portions and drawn for by the ladies. Mes- dames W_ L_ Simpson, Horace Fischer, D. P. Hood and Jiles Gass won the mixtures. Among several interesting points brought out during her demonstration was the fact that all flours are different in the amount of liquid each re- quires. For the annual 4-H cooking eliminatimo in Athens, she stated that entrants would vse White Lily Flour for bis- cuits and Gold Medal for rolls. They will be furnished equip- ment during the bake-off. 36,000 TOMATO PLANTS BROUGHT FROM S. GA.

McClure made his regular third Monday in each month visit to Dade this week. Solicitor Generali Earl B. Self was with him. The Judge makes these monthly vi¬ sits to hear pleas of guilty and any other matters which could properly come before the Court without a jury.

Its grade ”B” rating is kept from reaching the top “A” classification by the cafeteria’s wood walls, kept painted white. Cafeteria walls must be smooth, authorities have advised, but Rising Fawn’s is not lacking in scrupulous care or adequate equipping. I Planning each week’s menus :with the principal are Mes¬ dames Sam Chandler, Stella Howell and Clifton Cagle, lunch room workers. Mickler believes ; that week-to-week operating is more economical, and expecjts ;to come out with approximately ten to twenty dollars to the good at the end of the school year. Last term, the cafeteria listed a surplus of $20, and has always operated within the al¬ lotted budget. Parents Club Geti> Teaoherage Outstanding in their co-ope¬ ration with the school are mem bers of the Parents Club, pre¬ sided over by Mrs. Dewey Bradford. This organization was responsible for the school’s acquisition of the only teacher- jage in Dade County, a modern and attractive, white asbestoes shingled five-room home with bath.

Several who owned trucks hauled the lum¬ ber to Rising Fawn, where it gradually took shape as an en¬ tirely different building. Practically all work done on the teacherage until it reached the rafte: stage is credited to Mickler, who also drew up plans, and Dewey Bradford. Both worked without charge, Bradford doing the plumbing, and Wilson and Lee finishing up the carpenter work. The Parents Club has sponsored many events to help pay off the building loan, and is cur¬ working to clear the teacherage of any debt. Trustees are Mrs. R. p Fricks, G. V. Green and W. C. Cureton. R. C. Thomas very generously donated enough land for the building which joins school property on the northeast corner. A school foremost in the minds of the community, Ris¬ ing Fawn Junior High is des¬ tined to play a larger part in the educational drama being enacted all over the country.Its students ajj^ patrons have de¬ termined not to let it down, for they know that is what makes a school.
