—Looking Back—
From the fifes of the Weekly:
IN 1923
From Chapel Hill Chaff:
“I have always had a great
envy of people who manage to
look cool in hot weather. My
neighbor, Varnon 'Kyser, father
of the celebrated poppy-reaper,
Sarah Curtis Kyser, comes out
into his garden, just beyond the
stone wall from my back door,
clad in immaculate white flan
nels and white canvas shoes, and
digs potatoes. While I am all
wilted and bedraggled, he pur
sues this occupation, which looks
extremely fatiguing to me, with
out ever perspiring or getting his
clothes soiled. This I consider a
remarkable gift. Another man
who seems to be able to defeat
the temperature is the laundry
superintendent, G. H. Paulsen.
I went into his laundry and it
was one of the most comfort
able places I have struck in
Chapel Hill. He had installed a
battery of exhaust fans which
kept the air in constant circula
tion through the building. Why
can’t modern inventive skill,
which has done so much in the
way of perfecting furnaces to
heat homes, produce something
equally effective in the way of
cooling them?

‘RAILROAD’ RAY
SURRENDERS TO
POLICE OFFICER
“M. P. Ray, known as ‘Rail
road’ Ray, who had been hunted
as a suspect in the recent bank
robbery in Battleboro, in Nash
County, surrendered in Carrboro
Tuesday morning.
"He sent word to Chief of Po
lice Wright that if Wright would
come to the home of his bro
ther he would give himself up.
Wright went, took the fugitive
into his automobile, and drove
with him to Nashville, awl de
livered him to the Nash County
Sheriff.
"It is said that a complete
investigation has revealed that
Ray is innocent of the bank rob
bery, but he is held on other
charges.
‘‘Ray told Wright that he had
been at the home of his uncle,
Robert Davis, near the Chapel
Hill-Hillsboro highway, since he
escaped from the jail in Green
ville three weeks ago. It was af
ter his escape that the Battle
boro robbery was committed,
and at first suspicion pointed
to him . . .

TOBACCO BLIGHT
As usual early blight on toma

This blight causes the bottom
leaves to become yellow, brown,
and finally die. The blight comes
On up the stalk and finally kills
all of the leaves of the plant,

tomatoes. Weekly dusting or
spraying with a fungicide called
Manzate will lately control early
blight anti other leaf diseases of

should be about 6 or 7 per cent
Manzate. If sprays are used, the

‘Mix Two Cups Granulated Sugar... ’
By PAQUITA FINE
Home Economics students at
the high school and junior high
are in for a real treat this com
ing school year. Not only will
they be learning the simple
ABC’s of cooking, but Mrs.
Kenneth Putnam will be teach
ing them the art of cake deco
rating.
Deciding to do something dif
ferent in the way of summer
school. Mrs. Putnam attended
the Wilton School of Cake Deco
rating in Chicago this month to
acquire her cqiijficiate as a
Master Cake Decorator. Her
teacher. McKinley Wilton, a for
mer Gypsy candy-maker, has
gained international fame for the
cakes he has decorated for such
personalities as Queen Elizabeth
and the Kennedys. His "pulled
sugar" or "satin-ribbon” deco
rated cakes, which resemble del
icate creations of crystal, would
alone insure his fame.
"Mr. Wilton not only demon
strates his art," said Mrs. Put
nam, "but he gives each stu
dent's work individual attention.
His classes began at 6 a.m. and
I’ve never worked so hard in
my life. I think everyone in the
class was exhausted at the end
of the two weeks, but it was
worth it. We worked on boards,
of course, not cakes, while learn
ing to make the various designs."
To receive her certificate, Mrs.
Putnam had to decorate two
small cakes and a tiered wedding
cake to meet Mr. Wilton’s ap
proval. The wedding cake, pack
ed in two boxes, accompanied
~Jier home. "I wasn't sure I
.would be permitted on the plane
with two such large boxes,” said
Mrs. Putnam, "but the Eastern
Air Lines stewardess couldn’t
have been nicer. She not only
helped me get them aboard but
fastened them to a shelf so they
wouldn't be jostled."
While Mrs. Putnam doesn’t
plan to teach her students how
to make pulled sugar cake deco
rations which are difficult even
for a professional, she does plan

STONES IN ‘CAGE’
Hopkins Jewelry
Is Being Exhibited
Charles Hopkins of Chapel Hill,
desjgner and maker of hand
wrought jewelry, nag been chos
en as one of the principal crafts
men displaying work in the At
lanta Art Association's “Crafts
men from the Southeastern
States" exposition now in pro
gress in Atlanta.
Mr. Hopkins’s entry in the ex
position is a unique ring in
which the stones are mounted
loose in a "cage" rather than
fixed in the conventional fashion.
The ring was produced by a
secret lost wax casting process
known only to Mr. Hopkins, who
re-discovered the technique used
by the Egyptians in the time of
the Pharoahs. Less than a doz
en of the rings are in existence.
Mr. Hopkins’s ring, will be in
competition with the designs of
craftsmen from Alabama, Flor
ida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louis
iana, Mississippi, North and
South Carolina, Tennessee, Vir
ginia and West Virginia.
Following the close of the com
petition and the awarding of priz
es, the entries will be displayed
at the Museum of Contemporary
Crafts in New York from late
November until January.
Republican School
Scheduled Aug. 17
Republican workers must reg
ister now for the school to be
held at Duke University on Aug
ust 17.
The school, offering training
in precinct organizational work,
will be held in the air-condition
ed Duke Biological Science Buil
ding from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The school at Duke is a part of
a Nationwide effort being made
by the Republican Party.

to introduce them to "picture
painting” on cakes with icing.
“Some of my artistically talented
students will find it a real chal
lenge to paint with thinned down
boiled or royal icing," she said.
She explained that small paint
brushes and tinted cake paste or
icing are used to produce the ef
fect of painted scenes. "For in
stance. if one is planning a Hal
loween scene against a back
ground of -sky ami a crescent
moon, the design may be out
lined and then 'painted' in with
icing the consistency of oil
paints."
Mrs. Putnam also intends to
show her students how to pre
pare decorations of roses, pan
sies. and drop flowers that can
be stored in tine candy boxes
until they are needed for special
occasion cakes or tarts.
Even the least artistic student
in her class will be able to make
beautiful "sugar molds" of birds,
flowers, books, seashells, wedding
slippers and the like. While Mrs.
Putnam has brought back an
array of mold-forms from the
Wilton School, she sees no rea
son why plastic molds, such as
the ones children use in making
clay designs, or even seashells.
unusual shaped ashtrays and
jello molds wouldn't serve the
same purpose. "The recipe is
very simple,” she said. "Just
mix two cups of granulated sug
ar with three or four teaspoons
of water, depending on the hu- *
midity. Dust the mold lightly with
corn starch and then pack the
sugar mixture solidly into- the
mold and scrape off the excess |
with a knife. Place a cardboard ,
square over the mold and turn ?
upside down. The candy wjill dry
very quickly and shrink away
from the mold. Once it has hard
ened, it’s ready for use as a
cake decoration, a place-card >
holder, or any number of other *
uses.” Mrs. Pulnam particular- i
ly likes a tiny pink baby bassi- *
net she made with this method
and which she decorated with
miniature satin rosettes. A tiny |
plastic doll completes the “baby i
shower" decoration.
I
Mrs. Putnam's candy mints
are already well known to pa
trons of the Ranch House and
other Danziger enterprises with
which her husband is associated.
This year, she plans to decorate
the mints by using "the tiniest
tube" she has ever seen, one
she acquired at the school.
Eager observers and tasters of |
Mrs. Putnam's new skill are her
four children, Harriet, 18; Ceci,
17; Kenny, 15; and Janice, 10.
