PAGE TWO SECTION ONE BROAD~STREET BULLETIN “: v ' By KATE Sometimes I feel like a one woman Chamber of Commerce, when it comes to describing and bragging about Edenton, but I just can’t help it—it is, indeed, an ideal place in which to live. Looking out the window from where I am sitting, it seems al most like a park. Sometime when 1 close my eyes, 1 imagine I really am in a park, rather than almost in the middle of down town. I just counted five blue-jays chattering and quar relling, while hopping around on the grass was a large wood pecker and a pair of cardinals. Then once in a while a pair of wood thrushes, cat birds and mocking birds make their ap pearance. And when you walk up to the stores on a bright sunny morning, everyone seems so cheerful and friendly. It al ways gives me a thrill to walk down toward the water and see the beautiful Edenton Bay. On these moonlight nights the water is even more beautiful. The fine old homes, so well k e Pb always makes me proud to take visitors on a tour of the town. I am not the only one of Edenton’s new comers who feel this way—we visited another couple, Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor, Sunday even ing, who chose this place to live upon retiring. We agreed that it is a privilege to live HERE! One of the nicest things about writing this column is the spirit of friendly sharing of ideas and hints by readers, people I meet on the street, at meetings, etc. Someone recently told me how to keep nylon curtains dazzling White. She used epsom salts in the rinsing water. Then another friend (a man barbecuer) said to put water in the pan under the broiler rack. The fat drops into the water, with no smoke, no sizzling fat and no charred odor and the drip pan is a cinch to clean. (Sometimes men do have good ideas). Bangs are going over with a bang, so say the fashion experts. Beatle bangs, shaggy bangs, straggly bangs, thick bangs and fringed bangs. The down-sweep seems to be the thing and the up-sweep is definitely “out.” So frantic is the effort to cover the forehead that one would think that a bare forehead is a dis grace. Everyone knows that bangs are for little girls, but now it seems that even if you’re 70 you should wear bangs. So— be in style—let your hair down— in BANGS! Did you ever try growing herbs? Even in a very small area you can have an herb gar den. Or you can plant them in flower pots and keep them on a sunny window sill. Herbs re quire very little attention and they will add taste to many meals. For instance, many of you have a mint bed in your yard. Try using the various kinds of mint in your iced-tea or other fruit drinks. Sometimes I use the demon-balm or spear mint or the peppermint and it certainly makes the drink much more refreshing. A parsley bed is easy to grow and this will al ways make a casserole or a salad more attractive.

Here is a good recipe for ice box rolls, sent to me by Mrs. Edward Wells. She swears by this one and says they are the best she has ever made: Dissolve one yeast cake in two cups of warm water. Add % cup sugar, 1 egg and 4 tablespoons full of com oil, stir until blend ed. Add' 7 or 8 cups of plain flour, stirring gradually until texture is as desired. Put in the refrigerator for four hours. Rolls can then be shaped in many dif ferent ways and put in greased pan to raise for at least 2 hours. This recipe can be kept in the refrigerator for at least a week. (Cover with aluminum foil). Here's How— When redecorating a kitchen, apply a coat of clear shellac to ! the area that is apt to get grease spattered. One way to clean a sink drain is to first pour baking soda into it and then follow through with vinegar. Lay a piece of plastic wrap in the sink and grate your cabbage for slaw. When finished, simply gather up the cabbage and put in bowl. No bother—no mess! If candles are stored in the re frigerator for 24 hours they will not drip and will burn evenly. One of the busiest ladies in town is Miss Frances Marsh bourne, yet she always has time for everyone and always seems in a good humor. It certainly is true that a busy person is a happy person.
