Miss Camp On “Food for the Gods
New Tested Recipe
Given For South’s
Own Famed Dessert
By MISS JOHNNIE CAMP,
Home Service Director
Virginia Electric & Power Co.
Way down South somewhere,
an artist-cook created the dish we
known as “Ambrosia”. She must
have read, and wondered about,
the old Greek legend relating the
fact that “the Gods feasted on Am
brosia.”
This original recipe called for,
“freshly grated cocanut, sliced or
anges & sugar .
The directions
told us to let this
mixture stand
until the flavors
of the cocanut
jHnd oranges were
blended. This was
chilled and ser
ved after heavy
“company din
ners—it is tra
thtional in one section of the South
to always serve ambrosia for
Thanksgiving and Christmas din
ners. I
New desserts have been created i
using ambrosia for a base or
foundation. For variation, bananas,
pineapple or maraschino cherries
may be added. Sometimes for a
change you may use all three.
Now-a-days if it is not conven
ient to grate the cocoanut our
selves, we use moist cocoanut from
a can. The one I prefer is called
“Southern Style.”
Here are two delicious recipes
given us and vouched for—by a
good cook. I merely pass them on
for your approval—

Kool Salesman
D. M. McKnight, travelling
salesman for Brown and William
son Tobacco Co., out of Durham,
was here this week, and reports
an increased demand for “Kooi”
and “Wings” cigarettes in this ter
ritory. Also, he says, the increas
ed prices paid farmers for their
weed on the Eeastern Carolina
markets is resulting in prosperity
for the tobacco belt, and that con
ditions in his territory are much
better, generally, than at this
time last year.
LEGAL FIGHT OVER
REYNOLDS’ MILLIONS
The N. C. Supreme Court had
before it last week the problem
of determining the status of Ann
Cannon Reynolds, II, daughter of
Zachary Smith Reynolds, who was
killed at the Reynolds estate home
n Winston-Salem last July 6, and
for which killing his then widow,
Libby Holman Reynolds, and chum,
Ab Walker, were indicted. Later
the charges were nol prossed.
The action is brought by the
Cabarrus Bank & Trust Co., Con
cord, co-guardian of Ann Cannon
Reynolds, II, daughter of Smith
Reynolds by an earlier marriage.
By an agreement, the first child
was to receive $2,000,000, as was
Smith Reynolds, born several
months after his father’s death,
to the former torch singer, Libby
Holman. The balance of the es
tate, left by the late R. J. Rey
