PAGE TWO uREC.OmS BROAD STREET BULLETIN By KATE The Cedar Wax Wing, the beautiful bird, His visits in winter are brief, For which I am very grateful, Especially when laundering sheets. Now that the month of Febru ary is gone, we feel that we are on the last lap of winter, even though we will still have inter mittent days of cold weather, we know it will soon brighten up unci every heart will sing the song of Spring. (Already many yards along the way are full of bloom ing Jonquils, Forsythia and Flow ering Quince. Many pansies are showing their pert faces, too, and it beats me as to how they can become so beautifully alive after staying out in the cold all win '-tcr. It takes a lot of optimism to plant them in November or February, but the results always merit the faith. As I write this column, I’m thinking about today being Shrove Tuesday and tomorrow being Ash Wednesday, or the beginning of the Lenten season. Long ago, Jenten fasting meant eliminating not only meat from the diet, but aiso fat, eggs and dairy products. There is considerable disagree ment about the origin of Lent. Some authorities attribute it to Moses, while others say it was ob served long before that in Egypt and was one of the customs brought out of Egypt by the Israelites. Although Lent is how observed by churches, it was orig inally practiced for reasons of ■ liealth, th«> idea to prepare by proper dieting for the “danger ous" change of season. How ever, it has been proven that the Lenten diet with its emphasis on fish Is undoubtedly a healthy one. Otting back to the celebration of Shrove Tuesday, which the Penn svlvania Dutch call Fastnaoht Day (Fat Tuesday). Housewives tried to use up all the dairy products before Lent began, thus creating Hines Speaker At Meeting Os DAR Edenton Tea Party Chapter of the DAR will hold a luncheon meeting Wednesday afternoon, March 10, at 1 o’clock at the Edenton Restaurant. The speaker for the,, occasion will be Richard N. Hines, super intendent of the Electric & Wa ter Department. Mr. Hines will discuss the closed agreement be tween private electric power companies and rural cooperators, in regara to the ill effects on' municipalities who operate their own utilities. Mrs. Jackie Ricks, regent of the chapter, urges all members to attend the meeting.

When I make these doughnuts, 1 use the regular recipe for hot rolls, add ing a dash of nutmeg or eardi m«m to the liquid. After the dough has risen one time, I roll it out and cut it with the dough nut cutter. Let the doughnuts rise again, then fry in deep fat, drain on brown .{taper or paper towels, cover with powdered sugar and EAT. (Good for the figure). I hear a lot lately about the dyles in men’s clothing changing rather drastically. The new “shap ed’ suit seems to be tin l talk of the manufacturers. The shaped shirts have been on the market for some time. Then ther,\ seems to be a trend toward the wide tie again, so men, if you’ve kept tome of your long-ago ties, they might just be right for the “new look.” In competition with the ihort skirts, it is forecast that nr-n’s trousers will be shorter, too, and more men will lie wear ng the “desert boot” style of boe. One fashion Hash contends that it’s the older man who iresses more flashy than the young man who seems to !><■ more conservative. I suppose it’s a de fiant fling. We had a bad time in our neighborhood last week during the cold windy days. About once a year, flocks of Cedar Wax Wings will migrate this way and clean the I.igustrum trees of their blue berries. So, last week, just as several neighbors hung their aundry on the line, along came he Wax Wings. Vep, the laun dry was repeated the next day, but not many took a chance on drying them outdoors. We did have a bossy mocking bird who tried to chase the birds away, but 1 imagine there were too many Wax Wings against one mocker. A Few Hints And Helps— Brooms soaked in hot salt wa ter wear better. A mixture of one-half cup of turpentine, one tablespoon of salt will make a yellow ring in tiie bathtub disappear. If your coffee has cooked too long and has a liilter taste, try putting a dash of salt in it. and the bitter taste will be gone. Place a piece of wAx paper on the- clothes line so heavily starched pieces will net stick. To make an emergency ice bag place a folded wet towel in the freezer part of the refrigerator. Put frozen towel in a plastic bag and tie the end shut. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROTIN A, THURSDAY. MARCH 4. 1965. Tryon, I asty “A” Quality, Cello Lb.
