PAGE SIX THE ECHO SEPTEMBER, 1943 Conservation Corner / By Nan Brown CRACK THE RACKET ■ A, produced a number of rackets that were finally sub- ^ producing rackets of a differ- which all of us have to exterminate by ourselves. It's the tools in defense plants and the racket of radios Md aDey cats at home. Conservation of energy is as important as of materials. A war worker can't stay up all night and e^>ect to be efficient on the assembly line the following morning; nrtther can he be expected to keep production rolling the roar of pneumatic hammers and rivets wracks his nerves. JWhere noise has its definitely harmful effects,” says the Safety fSSSfMagazme, “the reduction of nois6 has its equally beneficial Btlnnioa ^ar workers have found relief by using anti-noise ear ft of hygienlcally prepared -wax and cotton scientifically designed to shut out noise. They are equally effective in the plant as well as at home. COOKIES FOR ROOKIES When that boy of yours comes home on furlough, It's only natural *0 ^ home cooking ip a hurry. Many’s the time he has written you from camp that he’s feeling fine, having a wonderful time but “Gee, mom, how I miss your cookies.” Isn’t that true. Well, the next time he comes home on a week-end pass, make sure you have the cookie jar filled. And fill It with the good old- fashioned molasses cookies that he used to like so much as a youngster It will pep up his morale as much as seeing Sally next door and it cer tainly will be good for him for molasses is so rich in Nature’s iron. Books Corner “Nothing marks the increasing wealth of our times and the growth of the public mind to ward refinement, more than the demand for books. — Star Pa pers. Finishing Department Here s your reporter, reporting agam. Nothing eventful has oc curred in’ Finishing since last month; at least, I have not been able to pick up anything. Here it IS with apologies. Inez Summey deserves honorable mention. Her recent examination in Knoxville for the WAVES proved successful, so she’s leaving soon to become a “little ripple”. Inez, we extend our best wishes and we’re proud of you. Who says MerriU Capps isn’t a good pilot. He can land a plane in a corn field without disturbing the corn, can’t he? Well, well, look who’s back at worjc! We certainly have missed you, Lib. A visitor in our department last week! Marvin Cagle, of the Seabees, came by and spent most of the day with us. Thelma Green’s boy friend came in, so she’s been singing “Anchors Aweigh” and “Sailor Boy.” By the way, is that sunburn, Thelma, / Our library is growing; Ecusta | tt ^ blushes, can contribute her share to the I • showing that ‘growth of the public mind toward brother around refinement’. Since the July edi-1 ®f him tion of the Echo, 60 books have h^Mndi'^ w^? y^onldn’t be! been put on our recreational Li- .^^J^on left us in the brary shelves.

A Variety of Treats I recipe for old-fashioned molasses cookies consists of: 1/2 cup shortening 3/4 cup unsulphured molasses 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt , , 1—1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 cups fiour 1/4 cup milk Cream shortening. Add sugar gradually; add egg. &ift the ginger c^namon, salt, baking powder, soda and flour. Mix milk and unsul phured molasses. Add dry ingredients and liquid alternately to the creamy mixture. Drop from teaspoon onto lightly greased sheet. Bake in moderate oven (350° P.) about 20 minutes. Makes 7% dozen cookies. whole wheat cookies replace about one-half the plain fiour with whole wheat flour. For Oatmeal Hermits use only 1 cup plain flour in recipe above and add 1^^ cups rolled oats. For Cocoanut Gems add 1 cup cocoanut and 1 tablespoon milk. For nut or raisin cookies add about Vz cup nuts or raisins to any of above. As you know, these cakes are delicious with summer beverages such as iced tea or a molasses milk shake—and If Johnny can’t come whlch we hope won’t be so) they’re swell too for the kiddies. One of the benefits of using molasses is that the cookies will stay fresh for an unbelievably long period.

THISA—AND—DATA Old fashioned hay rides In the country should prove popular these moonlight nights . . . they're certainly more romantic than a mile-a- minute spin down the State highway ... and what's more, 'twill save gas and tires. . . i j. Pox, noted furrier, advises women not to buy a new fur coat this fall unless It Is absolutely necessary, . . He suggests remodeling and restyling for conservation’s sake. . . .
