Friday, October 19, 1962 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Page Seven Believe it or not, there’s a fath er in Bradenton, Fla., who man ages to read bedtime stories to his three small children every night, even though he has to be out of town a great deal of the time. When he is away, his wife plays one of the tape recordings he has made to take care of just such a situation. “Since I can’t be with you tonight,” he starts off. I’ll read about Goldilocks and the Three Bears over the tap record er.” Interspersed in the narration are questions like “Are you asleep, Jeannie?” or “Have you been good today, Lee?” We have it on good authority that the kids invariably come up with prompt replies, just as they would do if their Daddy were actually present. We know that some of our read ers have tape recorders too, and may want to try this method of amusing the children while they are waiting for the Sand Man to put in an appearance. If you ask us, it’s a cute idea, and certainly cleverer than having your mop pets finally keel over from weari ness while sharing with you a tele vision program that isn’t suitable for them. TV provides a wealth of enter tainment foi the modern child, although it has fallen far short of its potential in the juvenile field. Even with its limitations, it gives the child of today more entertain ment in a week than youngsters of past generations got in an en tire year. However,'along the way, parents in so many instances have for saken the wonderful custom of reading stories to their children. Such reading brings the parent into closer association with his or her offspring. Too late, those of us who don’t avail ourselves of this experience realize that the precious moments we might have had are gone forever. Admittedly, we lose our chil dren to others at an early age. They find young associates who appeal to them, and much as we may hate for it to happen we are forced to take a back seat. Some of this is our own fault. Take time to read those bed time stories. You won’t regret it.

ME 7-3040 Any Now Bern housewife is bound to get praise from her fam ily when she serves tuna-cheese roll-ups. You start off by making 16 small thin pancakes from your favorite pancake mix, adding addi tional liquid for a thin batter. The pancakes should be about six inches across. For your pancake filling you’ll need two tablespoons of chopped pimento; four tablespoons of chop ped green pepper; two tablespoons of chopped onion; one 7-ounce can of tuna; one cup of small-curd cot tage cheese; one egg, well beaten; one-fourth cup of sour cream with chives; one teaspoon of Worcester shire sauce; one teaspoon of pre pared mustard; one teaspoon of salt; one-fourth teaspoon of pepper. Combine all these Ingredients. Place about two tablespoons fill ing in the center of each pancake. Roll up. Put the filled pancakes in a baking pan, seam upside down, and cover with topping. For your topping you’ll need one cup of sour cream with chives, and one- half cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Spoon the sour cream over the pancakes. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, and bake at 350 degrees for fifteen minutes. This recipe is supposed to serve eight people, but you’ll discover that tuna-cheese roll-ups are so delicious you’ll probably run short. We’ve said it before, but it can’t be emphasized too often that Au tumn is a wonderful time to have seafood on your table. Whether you’re cooking outside, or elect to remain indoors, you can’t beat seafood in some form. With Halloween coming up, you may get a measure of satisfaction out of cooking your own goodies for the little goblins and ghosts and gypsies who will be knocking on your door for the usual trick or treat routine. It is doubtful that you’ll save money by preparing your own cookies or candy, but the kids will appreciate your gift more than sweets that were store bought. Frankly, we can’t help but resent the larger boys and girls who get into the act, even though we treat them too. As for the tots, it’s a de light to have them come calling.

Twelve months ago the New Bern High school Bears and the Green ville Phantoms were the recog nized class of the Northeastern Conference, and the Greenies went on to win the loop crown. Friday night the two clubs meet again here, but this time the glory that both once enjoyed is gone. Frequently defeated during the 1962 campaign, they have already been eliminated as a possible cham pion, and have only the leavings to fight over. Despite this dismal predicament, the Bruins and the Phantoms can be counted on to come up with an exciting ball game. Last Friday the Greenville eleven spoiled Eliza beth City’s championship aspira tions, and will be favored against the locals. Naturally, the New Bern team would like very much to sal vage a victory over a bitter rival to ease the pangs of their current misery. Two reasons why the Bears can’t compare with last year’s outfit were much in evidence at East Carolina College Stadium last Sat urday night. Ronald Wallace, an ex-Bruin star, was the chief ground gainer for a Chowan College team that lost 7-6 to the E.C.C. fresh- Scott TILE CO. TILE AND FLOOR COVERING 1. C. SCOTT, JR. men in a thrilling contest. On one occasion, he broke loose for a 60 yard gallop. Norman Swindell, another star on New Bern’s 1961 outfit, was in the limelight too. He called the offensive plays for the East Caro lina team, and did such an excel lent job from his blocking back position that only two or three plays were sent in from the Pirate bench. Since both Swindell and Wallace were excellent blockers in High school, it wasn’t surprising that the two youngsters came up with outstanding performances in this department Saturday night. Swin dell was the better blocker, but Wallace offset this with his ball carrying and was used on defense in tough situations. When you lose boys like Wallace and Swindell not to mention Don ald Davis and Leon Potter, from your high school team, you’ve had it. Coach Bill Klutz of the Bears can attest to that fact. He who spends all his time hat ing his enemies misses chances to do many more useful things.— Hugh Murr LELAND MASON Life Insurance Specialist AGENT Featuring Income Disability 1614 TRENT BLVD.
