12-14. John 12:13—“Took branches
'Of palm trees and went forth to
meet Him.”
The palm tree is really a date tree.
It stands out from all other trees.
It is referred to as the “branches”
of the Bible. It is used for covering
roof of homes in the Holy Land and
to rope up reed fences. The trunk
makes good timber. The fiber from
leaves makes mats, dishes and dust
ers, «s well as fuel.
The fruit often weighs in dust-
ersup to 45 pounds. It is good food

ADVANTAGES OF A FREEZER
—Research . food specialists say
there are advantages to freezing
special foods. Buy and freeze day-
old bread. It’s less expensive and
freezing actually seems to freshen
it (moisture seems to be more even
ly distributed).
Freeze brown sugar and confec
tioners’ sugar to prevent lumping.
Marshmallows keep moist and
soft when frozen.
Crackers and potido chips when
frozen in warm weather insure
freshness and crispness.
IMAGINATIVE TOUCH TO A
MEAL—A perfect accompaniment
to fish is cucumbers. Chiir cucum
bers thoroughly. Slice ’em thin, add
a little salad oil and enough fresh
lemon juice to cover. Sprinkle with
fresh dill or dill seed. Add salt and
pepper to taste just before serving.
Next time you run out of “vege
table ideas,” here’s a quickie to try.
Cook canned or frozen vegetables
according to package directions.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
and put into a buttered flat casse
role. Make a medium white sauce;
add one egg yolt and one table
spoon fresh lemon juice, blending
throuoghly. Pour over vegetables
and, sprinkle,.Avith grated Cheddar
cheese. Bake in 350-degree oven un
til cheese melts.

But where are the sisters who
hastened to greet
The lowly Redeemer, and sit at
his feet?
I tread where the Twelve in their
wayfaring trod;
I stand where they stood with
the Chosen of God,
Where His blessings were heard
and His lessons were taught.
Where the blind were restored
and the healing was, wrought.
One of the things we liked about
the late Dr. Oscar Kafer was his
kwn sense of humor. That, and his
willingness to flop in a chair by
your bed, and grunt with you for
awhile, after diagnosis of your ail
ment.
Dropping into his office on a
still remembered morning, we
spied one of his sons, little Bill,
sucking away on a thumb.
“What do your do about Bill,”
we asked, “when some worried
mother comes in to get a prescrip
tion for thumb sucking?”
“Oh that’s easy,” Dr. Kafer
grinned. “I just hide him behind
the door until she leaves.”
Kafer had a way with children^
and, for that matter, with every
body else. Never was this more
clearly demonstrated to us than in
emergencies involving juveniles.
On one such occasion, the writer
happened along when a small boy
on Johnson street fell on a broken
milk-bottle. It resulted in a gaping
wound on the tot’s left leg,
A husky Red Cross swimming
instructor also happened along. He
was in the city for a two-week
period to teach life saving. The
laceration was bleeding so pro-
fuseiy that we took the child to the
hospital ourselves instead of call
ing an ambulance.
In the emergency room with Dr.
Kafer, we assisted the physician in
any way we could, when asked to
do it. The wound was attended to
quickly and expertly, and the
frightened lad lost his terror,
thanks to the soft, reassuring
words of Kafer.
But there was one unexpected
complication. The Bed Cross in
structor, a fine man who was
strong as a bull, fainted dead away.
