When Warm cheese pie makes fre quent and delicious appearances in European cuisines. Slender wedges of the pie are served as an appetizer before dinner. Bigger pieces make a hearty lunch, ac companied simply by a green salad with a good French dressing. This versatile dish from abroad is one that American home cooks might well borrow. Essentially a custard Well flav ored with cheese and baked in a pie shell, the dish varies from country to country. In the Ger man version, made with sour cream, the custard and cheese mixture is seasoned with bacon, onion, chives and caraway seeds. Probably more famous is the French quiche lorraine, also flavored with bacon but using light sweet cream instead of sour cream. The cheeses for the pie are by tradition gruyere and Swiss. It follows, then, that the Swiss also make their versions of the dish. In some cantons, only cheese and custard are used; in others, onions are incorporated. The following Swiss Cheese and Onion Pie is one of several with which I have had particularly good luck. Roll out pastry for a 9-inch crust and chill thoroughly. Grate 4 ounces, each, Swiss and gruyere cheeses and mix with one table spoon of flour. Spread this mix ture in the bottom of the pastry shell and cover with a large onion, sliced very thin and cut in half rings. Now, combine 3 eggs, well beaten with % cup milk and % cup light cream, salt and pepper and just a touch of nutmeg. Pour over the cheese and onion and sprinkle with paprika. Bake in preheated hot oven—(400 degrees F.) for fifteen minutes and then reduce heat to 325 de grees and continue baking for about 30 minutes longer. Serve warm. And, another good recipe along this same line is for an Onion Pie, which was featured by Gladys Taber several years ago in her wonderful “Diary of Domesticity” in the Ladies’ Home Journal. I misplaced the recipe and some time ago wrote her for a copy. She very kindly obliged and I’d like to pass it on to my readers. To make it, I use a biscuit dough made by sifting 2 cups flour with 2 teaspoons baking powder and the inevitable % tea spoon salt. Cut in 1/3 cup short ening, moisten with 1 /3 cup milk. Mix the dough as usual, but knead twice as long. For the fill ing, cook 8 thinly sliced medium onions in 3 tablespoons butter Twenty window boxes recent ly placed in the business section bring the total put up here under the Southern Pines Garden Club’s program to 70, Mrs. E. C. Stevens, chairman of the club’s window box committee, said this week. Under the club’s program, mer chants and professional people in the business section pay for the boxes which ar.e then put up and planted at the expense of the Garden Club. This works out to about a 50-50 sharing of the cost, Mrs. Stevens said. The boxes are planted with boxwood, heleri holly and ivy. Flowering plants are used in some of them in season. ' Other members of the window box committee are Mrs. Robert Ewing and Mrs: Robert Fisher. The new boxes have been plac ed at the following business es tablishments or offices: Mar- enne Beauty Shop, Honeycutt Jewelry, Franthel Beauty Shop, Welch Gift Shop, United Tele phone Company Broad Street of fices, Bozick & Co. Jack’s Grill, Dr. J. S. Hiatt, Jr.’s office. Valet Cleaners, Beauty Box, Dr. D. W. Mann’s office, Dr. Vida McLeod’s office. Miss McDermott’s shop and Parkway Cleaners. Some of the stores or offices have more than one window box, accounting for the total of 20 boxes among the 14 places listed. New Home To Be Built For Thomp son Family Living In Barn At Putnam i T TTT 1 •in 1 • ^ m The Charlie Thompson family, who live in an old granary at Putnam in upper Moore County, are going to get a new home. 'The Robbins Merchants Asso- cation called an emergency meet ing on the day after Christmas, but not to discuss sales promotion or how to attract new industry. Instead, they resolved that the spirit of Christmas is not just a one day matter; And to prove it they are going to see to it that Charlie Thompson has a new house. Thompson, ill with lung cancer, already has been showered with gifts from newspaper readers who read his story earlier. Then at noon Saturday, four Robbins businessmen—Jim Steed, Jim Pollock, president of the mer chants association; Henry Wil liams,, and John L. Frye, Robbins mayor, drove to the barn where the Thompsons live. “Charlie, you are going to have the house you hoped to build be fore you became sick,” Frye told tim. '■‘Building supplies have been ordered and carpenters hired. Work will begin Monday'. The 50 members of the Robbins Mer chants Assn, will work on the house on Wednesday afternoons when the stores are closed. If need be, we will work at night, but you and your family are go ing to have a home.” “God bless you. God bless you,” Thompson said. “This is what I have been pray ing for. People everywhere have been so good. They’ve sent money and checks. I needed someone to look after the building of the house. I’m turning this money over to you fellows and it will help build the house.” Thompson had been struggling to convert the old barn into a home before he was stricken with cancer the week before Thanks giving. In the family are Thompson, 51; his wife and three children, Charles Eldon, 9; Becky, 7; and Tinker, 3. The plight of the family became known through a story written by Charles Manning of Troy, cor respondent for the Greensboro Daily News. Week-End Break-Ins Reported At Post Office, Business Places At Cameron Adcox and Mrs. R. A. White in Maxton. Sisters and additional relatives of I. A. Woojdell joined the lat ter’s family here on Sunday for slightly cool, spread them thick ly over the dough which is snug ged in a good, deep pie plate. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, then beat 1 egg with cup light cream and pour over T rZeS-: 450 degrees F. or until the filling is slightly brown. An added touch is to broil bacon and lay crispy strips across at serving time. Both these pies make a one- dish luncheon with a green salad and coffee. If you want dessert, make it a light one. of Greensboro, Mr. and Mrs. Amy Phillips and daughter Peggy of Fayetteville, and Mr. and Mrs. Ted Famer and Mrs. Terry Farmer of Aberdeen were in the group. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Wilder and daughter, Linda Gail, of Norfolk, Va. and Miss Mary Elizabeth Hackney of Sumter S. C., spent the holidays with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Hackney. Judy Parker of High Point Col lege, Joan Parker of East Caro lina College and Jimmy Parker of Oak Ridge Military Institute will be leaving Sunday after spending the holidays with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Earl Par ker. Mrs. Parker’s mother, Mrs. Walter Edwards, of Wingate is a guest in the Parker home.

Highway Patrol Corporal Jim C. Edwards and son of Birming- McColman said that there were ham, Ala. • six property damage traffic acci dents in the county over the week end but none involving personal injury. The officers are continuing maximum patrolling of the high ways this week because of ex pected heavy New Year’s traffic. Holiday Week-End Generally Quiet With the exception of a boy’s death following a bicycle accident (see another story on front page), the long Christmas week-end was uneventful in terms of law viola tions and traffic accidents in Southern- Pines and throughout most of the county, although sev eral break-ins were reported from Cameron. (See story elsewhere). Police Chief C. E. Newton’s re- of.port Was Officers are investigating sev eral break-ins of business places at Cameron, including the post of fice, which took place Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Other than about $5 in change taken from the cash register at Pete Phillips’ grocery, the thieves seem to have gotten little for their pains. J The whole operation was de scribed as “amateurish” by Chief Deputy H. H. Grimm, who with Deputy Sheriff R. A. Edwards of Vass is investigating the break ing and entering. The burglary of the post office, where a bag of mail was cut open, constitutes a federal offense. Other places entered were Har bour’s Store, where they broke the lock off the front door but apparently took nothing, and Phillips Hardware Store, where they entered by a side window but didn’t bother anything, not even- a small amount of change lefl on top of the cash register. ’There were indications' also of an unsuccessful attempt to break in to the depot by a side door. The post office was about the only place where they did any work. Breaking in through a back window, they riffled through papers, emptied drawers and gen erally left the place in a mess. They may have taken some mail, said Grimm, since they slit open a mail sack. They also made a bungling attempt to crack the safe with a screwdriver. Deputy Edwards was in Cam eron about 11 p. m. Saturday and, as is his custom, checked doors of the business places. All was in order at that time, he said. as their holiday guests her sisterroute.

' FEWER DAIRYMEN North Carolina has fewer Grade A dairymen than a year ago. Producers numbered 4,281 in August, 1959, a reduction of 200 from a year earlier. These fewer dairymen, however, were produc ing more milk. Grade A deliv eries in North Carolina may reach 875 million pounds for 1959, up 4.6 per cent from the 836 mil lion pounds delivered in 1958. The squeeze is expected to be on Tar Heel farmers in 1960. Prices paid by farmers are ex pected to remain high or to in crease. HOME FROM FLORIDA Richard T.
