Dress Review Planned For June 5 th
Miss Susan Mathews, Exten¬
sion Home Economist, gave an
interesting demonstration on
the use of prepared mixes for
bread-making at the Dade
frd LZT/ a v E L 0 Lrtl^ldies rmJl Uil fS
various parts nort, of of triG the county.
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.

Bond Sales Built Fawn School In 1937
The attractive,
school building at Rising
one of the best-built of any
the county, was constructed

months of planning by
community and the sale
bonds.
This elementary school
placed the original frame

rooms, and although the
school is well-constructed,
foundation was once
proved by the state for a
deral aid plan. The board
trustees, former system
ished in favor of the
board, at that time included
L. Fricks and S. W.
and this group was mainly
ponsible for the present
ing.
During the period
plans were being
the government provided
cial funds for school
but shortly after the
ity had applied for aid,
program was shelved.
Fawn then took the
into their own hands

tion. After he had
the building of a very
foundation, the now-active
deral aid agency approved
ing Fawn’s plans, causing
state to ban the new
tion, which had been built
cording to the same plans
agency would use.

more economical, and expecjts

always operated within the al¬

chairman of the building com¬
mittee, and a group of citizens
and school boys. 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.
