Mrs. Rachell is the former | Miss Wilma Watkins of Leland. | Hip Times By Carol Stanley and Jeannine Kincaide Hi, Everybody! Thanksgiving is almost here and all of the grammar grades have been working hard to pre pare gay and pretty pictures for their classrooms. You'd really be surprised to learn how well some of these children can paint and draw. Why don’t you parents drop around to see their work? The jimior class play was quite a hit, or it seemed that way to us. We hope that all who attended were pleased with the perform ance. While on stage and off pre ceding and during the presenta tion of "Little Miss Somebody” the juniors seemed quite calm. It wasn’t until it was all over that the tension of performing showed up. The girls and boys who did the work off-stage deserve due credit for the long hours they put in. We think the pretty girls in their bright . evening dresses that were attending the various jobs throughout the auditorium added much to the setting. We have heard rumors of the 9 and 10 grades planning a Spring trip to Washington, D. C. It seems they will put in the money themselves. Out of their own poc kets, no less. Here’s luck! Not long ago the Civics class began work to build a sign that will be placed at the city limits and will read: "Welcome to South port—North Carolina’s Only Na tural Harbor.” They hope to com plete it soon.

Club Notes By THELMA HINSON Home Agent FRUIT CAKES All fruit cakes are mixtures of fruit and nuts bound together with a thick batter. Some have only enough cake batter to hold the fruit together, others have more. There are three general classes of fruit cakes—a dark ..light and white. The dark fruit (Jakes con tain more spices and* molaSses than light ones. Both have a plain or pound cake .base. White fruit cakes have a silver or white cake batter, using only the egg whites and not the yolks. Only I fruits and sometimes nuts that ! are white (such as almonds and Brazil nuts) are used and no | spices; red cherries are added to j white fruit cakes for contrast in I color. The success of your fruit cake depends on how well you pre pare the ingredients and the way you cook it. 1. POINTS ON PREPARING FRUIT CAKES Cut fruits for all fruit cakes in small uniform pieces. This will give you a sample of all the dif ferent fruits and nuts in even a small piece of cake. Use 1-3 to 1-2 of the flour given in the fruit cake recipe to | coat and separate (dredge) each j piece of fruit and nut. Be sure I no extra flour sticks in the wrin j kies of raisins and currents, n. TIPS ON COOKING FRUIT CAKES There are two general ways of cooking fruit cakes. You may bake them the whole time or use a combination of baking and steaming. I Kaked fruit scorch coeUy'"^,. ! cause of the large amount of ft it and sugar in them. To prevent scorching, line pans with gressfd paper and bake cakes at a law temperature (250-300F.). A psjji of water placed in the over unlfcr | the cake during baking gives ydfu | a cake with a moist, shiny, uh cracked top. Any loaf or roiu|d | pan may be used, but one withTa tube in the center helps you I a more uniform baking through- ! out the cake. The heat gets |o the center of the thick mass ( f j batter more quickly. Fill cal e pans up to % inch of the top. | Steamed fruit cakes may l e j cooked in a steamer or press’ll s i cooker. TJiey are more moist anj i j have a closer, heavier textm i' than a baked fruit cake. Whethi r' cakes are oooked in a steamer ( r pressure cooker, place over tij s top of pan three thicknesses < : wax paper or a piece of heav t brown paper or aluminnum foi Tie the paper or foil in place s i that it will not slip off. To cook in a steamer:, Plac i cakes on a rack in a steamer a 1 roaster which has been filled t % inch with boiling water. Cove and steam three hours. Remov ' the cake from the steamer an take off the paper covers. Bak V2 hour in an oven at 30CF t< dry out the cake. To cook in a pressure coker One or more cakes may be »ok ed in a pressure cooker, or presj sure saucepan. Place cakes on 4 rack, one above t!”' other. Cook for 45 minutes at 10 pounds pres sure. Raise pressure to 15 pund3 and continue to cook for 3( min utes, making a total cookin, t'me of 1 hour 15 minutes, leduce pressure gradually to zerc.

Tinting can be done in the washing machine. Greater depth of color is achieved by tinting in washer than in wash bowl; however, for very dry col ors, a simmering dye bath is re commended. Steps to perfection — for tint ing in washing machine: 1. Jot down measurements of article to be tinted so that it can be stretched to its original pro portions. 2. Launder article, or make su re that it is clean. 3. Prepare dye by dissolving in a small amount of hot water. He at to simmering, stir until dye is dissolved. Strain. The amount of dye to use de pends upon the weight of the ar ticle to be tinted and depth of color desired. In general, articles weighing less than a pound re quire one to two ounces of dye and those weighing over two po unds require five or six ounces of dye. 4. First, heat washer tub and: dampen fabric by allowing it to go through one1 rinse. Then drain tub and fill with the hottest wa ter available. Do not remove the article. 5. Add dissolved dye, bein'* careful not to pour any directly on the article. 6. Start the machine immediate ly and set the dial for longest washing cycle. Allow agitation to continue 10 to 30 minutes if possible. 7. Allow washer to go through full rinse cycle. With non-automa tic washer rinse article three ti mes. 8. Spin dry article in the auto matic washer. Or squeeze gently after removing from non-automa tic machine. Never put tinted ar ticle through a wringer. 9. Finally, damp-dry in the dry er or hang to dry. 10. Rinse washing machine with detergent and hot water. Be sure to clean lid, door window, lint trap. If dye is spilled on the wash er, wipe immediately. For stubborn stains use color remover as soon as possible. The Pirate Log By Ann Bellamy Ann Stanley Aun Hewett Hi folks! We’re glad to bring you the latest news from the campus of Shallotte Hi. Some seem rathr disappointed because the football season has come to an end. Cheer up! The best season is just beginning_ basketball! There's a definite sense of school spirit everywhere since practice began Monday.

Monday was an entirely new day for the high school. Nine of our most respected came to school in the most particular manner. Of course we were expecting it because it was initiation for new Block “S” members. Each of them had to bring plenty of candy for members and a paddle 1 y2 ft. long, 3 inches wide and an inch thick. They were to bring a pil low to kneel on so as to praise the club three times and most fun of all, they had on a show. Everyone agrees it was just out of this world. We shall now tell you who the spectacular boys were! Texas Holden who had his hair cut with a large “S” on top, wearing a pair of cut-off pants j with lots of make-up and also a | pair of earrings. He had to ask I Mrs. Jones, our home ec. teacher, | for a date. Royce Woodyard, whose head was shaved, a ladies dress, hose and make-up. He real ly looked like a bald-headed girl, also he had to hold hands with a girl in every class. Thomas Arnold had on a knee length, dress, knee boots, Mohawk hair cut and a ladies blouse on back wards. Jobie Brooks was magni ficent with his hair cut in streaks ] and a suit with the legs rolled ! up to his knees. His face was | painted black with a white mus I ---- taclie. During recess he had to roll an egg across the stage with his nose. Jimmy Elliot was mar velous with a half-inch hair cut, baggy overalls and a girdle on the outside, brogan shoes and make-up. He had to sing to Mrs. Ida Mintz during recess. Jimmy Stone’s head was shaved and his costume was outstanding! He had a convict suit on. He played the piano for Thomas Arnold to dance at recess. Bunchy Leonard’s hair was cut out with a large S in the top. Pants and shirts was worn backwards and wrong side out. A starw hat and his painted face was quite a laugh! Perry Gurgan us wore a black suit and white shirt and face painted black like a colored preacher. He had to bring a guitar and cup to sing and take up money for the club. He also hfl.d to ask Miss Collins for a date. You did a grand job boys and passed with flying co lors. But after all the work and laughs there’s $2.50 to be collect ed from each new members.
