short-bread type of cream cheese
pastry sandwich makes a heart
shaped cookie with a delicate air
—delicious, and not difficult to
prepare. The flavor-rich Sweet-

Borden Kitchen, uses ready-to-
use mince meat for the filling.
This modern-day product, packed
in jars and available the year
around, makes cookie baking
easy. Arrange the cookies sand-
wich-fashion, and bake for 8 to
10 minutes at 450°F. Just before
serving, dust with confectioners’
sugar. Serve them with ice cream
for an extra-special taste treat.

Transposin
By J. ROSS
Summer streets are hot. The
glare are a wavy mirage blind
the eyes. Gotta stop! here by this
building ... for just a minute."
Suddenly the eyesight returns.
On the pavement below lies a
coin purse. Nerves are charged.
Fear mingles with a thrill of ex-
citement.
Slowly the body bends. Long
fingers scoop soft leather off of
rough concrete . . . feeling, prob-
ing . . . while a min dguesses,
“How much is the money?” Not
far away leaning against anotehr
building four eyes are watching.
Someone drops the pigeon-
—JR-
‘Sposin' we take a little walk
down the road apiece. We’ll see
(if we look closely) hundreds of
ways many people are dropping
their pigeons along this road. The
color of skin or physical appear-
ance of these pigeons dropepd is
not important for word comes to
us from the 16th verse, 6th chap-
ter of Jieremiah: “iThus sayeth
the Lord: “Stand by the roads,
and look, and ask for the ancient
paths, where the good way is; and
walk in it. But they said, “We will
not walk in it.”
Then the Lord said, “I set a
watchmen over you saying, “Give
heed to the sound of the trumpet.’
But they said, ’We will not give
heed.’
Therefore hear 0 nations, and
know, 0 congregations, what will
happen to them.
“Here 0 earth; behold, I am
bringing evil upon this people,
because they have not given heed
to my words; and as for my law,
they have rejected it.”
If we ponder this book of the
Old Testament we migmt wonder
how well the shoes of Jeremiah
would fit the feet of each of us.
Would you like to wear them?
—JR—
From another great religion,
the respected sayings of Buddha,
the world received this message:
‘If a traveler does not meet with
one equal to him on his better,
let him firmly keep to his solitary
journey: there is no companion-
ship with fools ...”
—J R—
Buddha claims the “desire to
know”’ overcomes the pain of
misunderstanding. But he says,
few are the men, “who cross the
river to reach the good.”
Now if all this is much cookin'
in cream, and we decide to shrug
our shoulders and go fishing, I’ll
hold a thought. Just so a pigeon
dropper doesn’t slip up on us
at the wathe edge. Remem-
ber, we catch nothing on the
surface of the water save our own
reflection.
—JR-
Fish in the deep waters, my
brother, and use stout poles. May-
be you’ll catch a pigeon dropper.
—JR— ■
There’s a great fisherman who
knows all the Uncle Toms, the
pigeon droppers’ fishing techni-
ques and really, anything you
want to know. He’s never too
busy to listen.
—JR—
I’m going to get in touch with
him now. You may do the same.
—JR—
By the way, His name is God,
and he lives in heven!

Housecleaning
Hints
by Betty Blake
Every day is cleaning day for
the average housewife and any-
thing that will “lighten the load”
is welcomed with open arms. .. .
For instance, attic windows, base-
ment windows and garage win- 4
dows are usually difficult to reach ’
—yet always seem to be in need ;
or cleaning. This problem is now ;
easily solved with a practical and
inexpensive product obtainable •
from your dime store. . '
Vitrophane, a plastic coated •
window covering which is applied
directly to the glass, lends'a frost- i
ed effect or colorful design to those
“out-of-the-way” windows. The
windows not only stay cleaner
much longer periods of time—but
when they do get dusty, Vitro-
phane makes it possible for you to
easily clean them in only a few
seconds by simply wiping with a
damp cloth.
Another way to cut down, on
daily household cleaning chores is
to cover glass doors of utility ,
cabinets and bookcases with Vitro-
phane. Not only will less frequent
and easier cleaning be gained, but
the smart designs will help bright-
en and beautify your home.
Vitrophane is translucent and
although it effectively blocks the
view from the outside (as most of
us prefer to have for attic, pantry
and garage windows) it does not
prevent daylight from coming
through.
Ask the clerk at your local
housewares counter for Vitro- —
phane to put an end to your “out- . -
of-the-way” window worries.
Dessert pancakes have true international appeal, but no matter
when or where they are made and eaten, the key to success is a
perfection basic batter. This is what makes the difference between
the heartier breakfast pancake and the dessert type. The basic
dessert batter requires a more delicate mixture, as shown by the
Borden Kitchen recipe below. _
