Creative Cooking From The Chowan Herald Kitchen
By MILDRED HUSKINS
It’s time to start thinking
ahead to the Christmas season
and to begin making the many
delicacies that have become a
tradition of the-holiday season.
Preparing fruit cakes, plum
puddings and many beautiful
cookies takes a lot of time and
energy. But the entire family
will share the pleasure and
anticipation in making and
eating them, along with the
fragrant goodness of the kitchen
while all of this is going on, and
make it more than worth the
effort.
Cookies for Christmas are

Dtrcetsr Pettigrew Reffioctal Library
sets with books and matching
records. Many of the titles are
old favorites which are new to
each new generation of
children.
A perennial favorite has been
works of Beatrix Potter, the
author of Peter Rabbit. Each
library has a set of posters
based on illustrations from her
books and we have just
acquired new copies of fourteen
of the titles in the series. The
average life of such popular
books fdr-young children is 50
circulations, so they have to be
replaced regularly.
The children’s collection
contains a large number of
seasonal materials such as
books and records for Christ
mas. Our adult departments
have similar holdings which are
being featured this month.
There is nothing which enhances
the Christmas spirit more
than music and we have all kinds.
SCREECHES
FAN CLUB - One of the more
enterprising publishers of
children’s books has a clever
gimmick that we have decided
to try. It is a Frog and Toad Fan
Club, complete with mem
bership card to be awarded to
any boy or girl who has read two
charming books by Arnold
Lobel. The books are frpm the I
CAN READ series for young
readers published by Harper
and they are titled FROG AND
TOAD ARE FRIENDS and
FROG AND TOAD
TOGETHER. Our problem is
Jiat we just have one copy of
each book in each library and
only 150 membership cards so it
will take time for the formation
of the club.
