PAGE TWO-A t I BROAD STREET BULLETIN... We often use excuses, Telling ourselves with a sigh; If it really doesn’t work out We can use an alibi Sometimes I think ell of us roly too much on alibis, or we are so apt to blame the other fellow for our mistakes. We, as parents, set this example and then expect our children to have the trait of responsi bility. It really is so much better to admit our mis takes and then try again. “Alibi” is an empty, fool ish word. Isn’t this wonderful weather we’re having? Cool nights for sleeping, then later the sun’s warm rays around us. We are so for tunate in having the large storms bypass us. How ever, it pays to be pre pared for these emergen cies, so don’t let us get to feeling too smug, it CAN happen here! I’m sorry to hear that Miss Connie Williford, our librarian, is leaving. She has been such a pleasant lady and so very helpful in selecting books and getting them on request if at all possible. Which reminds me that our friend, De- Witt Cooper of Richmond, Indiana, was quite impress ed by the library on a re cent visit here. He was high in the praises of Miss Williford also, and I know will be sorry to hear she is leaving. Forgot to mention it be fore, but many thanks to Mr. Cooper for remember ing me with a birthday card. Buffs son Lance and his i daughter Dorothy spent several days with us last JohnWinborne Commissioned FT. BENNING, Ga John H. Winbome, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Winbome, Route 1, Edenton, N. C., was com missioned an Army second : lieutenant after graduating from the Infantry Officer 1 Candidate School, Ft. Ben ing, July 25. During the 23-week course, he was trained in leadership, tactics of small infantry units and use of infantry weapons. He also received instructions in map and aerial photograph reading, guerilla warfare and counter insurgency op erations. r party mm BY PEGGY SANFORD Is it your turn to entertain the family at a party coming up soon to celebrate an anniver sary or birthday? Feeling a bit alarmed at the small size of your house, how you'll serve hot food to so many people, and how you’ll manage the different courses? The magic words in your cir cumstances are: Buffet Supper. A little pre-planning, and you can “get the show on the road" without fuss or (lurry, and you'll enjoy the party as much as your guests. To start off with, solve the problem of the pre-supper drinks and how much liquor to buy. In a recent survey by ex perts it was revealed that the six most popular cocktails are: Gin Martini, Manhattan. Whis key Sour, Daiquiri. Margarita, Vodka Martini. You can avoid a lot of strain, and he sure the cocktails are made in "good taste”, by having a full supply of these in the form of pre mixed cocktails. Made by Heuh lein with full-strength liquor, there’s nothing to add hut ice. The host or hostess ran serve the first drink then let the guests help themselves from a side table or tray. How much should you buy for eight people for pre-suppcrcock tails? Experts at Heublein say that you will be serving an av erage of 16-24 drinks, and need two y 4 quarts of cocktails. Twenty-five guests will imbibe. week and we really enjoy ed it, in many ways. Os course, fishing waa on the agenda and we really caught fish. Then Lance fixed several household appliances which didn’t work and Dorothy enter tained me, or I entertained her. I can’t decide which. For several days last week I suspected a mousey vis itor, so Saturday, afternoon; while Dorothy shelled peas, I decided to clean a cup board, on account of Mr. Mouse. When I was al mo s t through changing things, and was on a stool cleaning a top shelf, Mr. Mouse jumped out, ran down the front of my dress and made a quick exit. Naturally, I screamed and did a jig, which turned out to be hilarious to Dorothy. After a while it was funny to me, too. Later on we caught the culprit in a trap. Next week this time we will hear the chatter of all the children going to school again and I’m looking for ward to it You’d be sur prised how interesting it is to watch them going by. On the other hand, you’ll realize how old you are. We were glad to see Miss Lena Jones back in town again. She is personality plus, and I’m glad to have her for a friend. She sent me a plaque on “What Is Happiness” by Christine Lund Coles, and it is one of my treasures. At the end tnere’s a quote by Lincoln: ‘Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.” Here’s a recipe for Beat en Biscuits, Southern Style. Perhaps some of you will use it: 2 cups enriched flour. 1 tsp. salt. 2 fhsp. butter. Vi cup water. Spoon flour into dry measuring cup level. Stir together flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Blend in water. Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead thoroughly one to two minutes. Run dough through food grinder until elastic four or five times. Roll out V* inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a two-inch cutter. Prick tops with a fork. Bake in 350 degree oven 45 minutes. 50-75 ctM-kfails (five so six V 4 quarts). You should also have on the drinks table, one fifth bottle of the following: Bour bon. Gin. Vodka, Scotch and Blended Whiskey. If your dining room is small, push the table to one side against the wall, which will leave more serving sj>aee. Two or three courses are all you really need plan for a buf fet meal. There should lx? one hot dish. Curry dishes or stews, or a casserole mixture arc very good for such meals —as these are dishes that can wait if your guests tarry a bit before eating. Here is a simple menu, which can be increased according to the number of your guests: Veal and Macaroni Casserole, Green Beans Amandine. Salad. Cheese Board and Hot Bread, Fresh Fruit (from a large bowl used for the ecntorpic>ce on the ta ble). and Hot. coffee to finish the “meal. *, .- Guests these days arc quite accustomed to moving around and serving themselves at buf fet parties. You’ll want to place the dishes on the table in the order most convenient for such self-service—with the bread last After tlie first course is finished, remove the plates, and set up dessert plates and knives, coffee cupa and saucers and spoons. Once the party 's over don’t be surprised if you’re known as the family's snappiest and happiest of party -givers.
