The Way To A Fortune Is Through The Stomach BY MARJORIK MEGIVERN What do you think is the greatest ne<:d of the aver age church at any given moment? Most small and moderate sized churches would quickly say, "Money!" Budget problems dog most congregations, thus the vari ous lund-raising devices to help pay the light bill or buy new choir robes. One of the most tried and true methods of raising money among church boards, circles and women's organizations is the church cook book. Rarely do you find a small town or rural religious institution that has not at some time proudly published a collection of the prized recipes contributed by its members. Methodist churches arc shining examples. With a reputation for gtxxl cooks and lavish family sup pers, they can readily supply the formulae for hundreds of tasty dish es that have won kudos from the congregation. These culinary se crets, gathered and published, sell like hotcakcs, no pun intended. Little River United Methodist Church may have some kind of record for a successful cookbook In When you refurbish your cottage... Don't forget to replace your old lampshades with beautiful new ones from... ades & naaowoS We also offer custom lampmaking & repair. Take Hwy 130 West. Near Whiteville 640 2758 ?

Sincc then two additional printings have brought their total to nearly 2, (XX). Pal Watson was chairperson of the cooklxx)k committee. "We needed money," she said, "so we decided to prcxluce a cookbook. A committee of eight women looked at a lot of books and finally we de cided we liked the Mi. l.eon Baptist Church book best. We wrote to that publisher and got information and went to work on it." Church members gave the coop eration that was crucial to success: they shared their best recipes. The committee then proof-read them, checked for duplications and put them in categories according to the publisher's requirements. On the lookout for every extra penny they could garner from the project, these Little River women also sold ads in the cookbook. "That made a lot of difference," Watson said. "It enabled us to make about double what the lxx)ks cost." The class paid S3. 12 for each lxK)k that included ads (the cost would have been S3 without ads) and each Ixxik \^as sold for SS orig inally. Watson said on the second and third printing they raised the price to S6. Ihe class has raised, then, close to S4,(XX) with ils cook book project. "It was about eight weeks from the time we sent in all our recipes until we had the books," Watson es limatcd. "The cover took the longest." The elegant beige cover features a sketch of the church, with just the title and church name fram ing it. "If we have another printing next year, we'll have to do another cover," Watson noted, "because we've built a big addition onto the church and it looks different." Something her committee liked about this particular model was the informational pages at the end of the collection. There is a three-year calendar, an extensive guide to herbs, and instructions on freezing foods, party planning, stain re moval, perfect pie-making and diet ing. A brief history- of the church graces the inside title page. The categories that provide the book's structure include: appetizers, soups, salads and sauces, main dish es, vegetables, breads, baked and other desserts, candy and jellies, beverages and microwave dishes. Aside from the book, this church has another claim to fame. Estab lished 1876, it boasts the first wom an to be ordained in South Carolina, the Rev. Bessie Bellamy Parker. She served as pasior there from 1969 to 1974. The church, whose pasior is the Rev. Franklin D. Hartsell, has a pre sent membership of 307, almost double that of ten years ago. W hen Ht w's 1 V hut's Cooking made its initial appearance, it was an instant success, i he section ol pertinent information and advice helped. So did the colorful illustra tions that introduced each chapter. The real appeal, though, was in those appealing blueprints for gixxl eating lound on every page.
