Interesting Meeting Is
Held Monday In Gram
mar School

sided at the meeting of the Parent
Teacher Association of the Perqui
mans County Consolidated Grammar

persons took part.

Nixon, of Elizabeth City, delighted
the audience with the song "Wings
of the Morning," with Mrs. Fentress
Homer, also of Elizabeth City, at the
piano.
A humorous reading, "Naming the
Baby," was given by Mrs. H. C.
Stokes, who never fails to charm her
hearers.
This was followed by an Art Pa
geant in which Mrs. John Symons,
Janet Quincy, Mabel Chappell, Au
drey Chappell and Susie Mae Wilson
took part.
After a solo by L. W. Anderson,

Post Office Goes Into
New Quarters
(Continued from Pagt One)
building will not- only be adequate in
size and convenient in every way, but
will have much the appearance of a
building constructed as a postoffice.
The Hertford postoffice, which re
sumed its second class status in 1935,
was for four years previous to that
time a third class office. For nearly
two years it has been back in the
second class.
The present building in which the
postoffice is located, owned by W. T.
Shahnonhouse, of Norfolk, Va., has
served as a postoffice ...for twenty
years. Prior to removal into" this
building it had been located in the
northern end of the Hertford Banking
Company's Building; and prior to the
time it occupied those quarters it was
housed in the old Eagle Hotel Build
ing, occupying a room on the exact
spot where the Shannonhouse Build
ing now stands, the present postoffice.
Older residents recall that once the
postoffice was located in a small
frame building near the railroad sta
tion. Removal into the Carolina Bank
Building will be a great improvement
over any quarters formerly occupied.

MRS. RIDDICK ENTERTAINS
Mrs. R. M. Riddick delightfully en
tertained the members of her bridge
club on Tuesday night at her home
on Dobb Street.
Mrs. C. R. Holmes was winner of
the prize for top score, l '
Dainty refreshment
. T Those playing included "Mesdaines
3., G. Robarson, C. R. Holmes, J. 0.
" Pelton, D. P. Reed, Herman Winslow,
IX VI. White, J.v W. Zachery, and
'VOm Kto Blanchard.
"Marmalade is good for breakfast;
and H has its place in the school
lunch. But have you ever thought of
it as a dessert?" asks Cornelia C.
Morris, State College extension
economist in food conservation.
"Spread marmalade on hot, butter
ed pancakes, roll them up and dust
with powdered sugar. Your family
will like this desert and call for it
again.
"Marmalade will help stretch the
Christmas dollar. Small jars ol
marmalade, attractively wrapped,
make good Christmas presents; they
help out irt planning Christmas
menus."
Marmalade is easy to make, Mrs.
Morris stated. The best fruits to
use are oranges, grapefruits, and
lemons. Select fruits on which the
skin is clear and free from blemishes.
OhttonuiKt. '- one lemoo, land one
grapefruit will Make enough marma
lade to fill six 10-ounce Jars.
Cut fruit into very thin alkes with
a sharp knife. Resharpen knife fre
quently while slicing the fruit. Meas
ure the sliced fruit, then jadd three
times as much water.
(One orange, one lemon, and one
grapefruit will make about a quart of
fruit. So add three quarts of water.)
Boil fruit and water for 30 min
utes, or until fruit is tender. Let it
stand overnight, then boil again for
20 minutes. Measure the mixture
and then add an equal amount of
sugar. Then cook rapidly until the
syrup begins to Jell when poured
from the side of a spoon.
Let the finished marmalade cool for
a minute or two, then pour it into
the japs. (If poured In immediately,
th fruit will rise to the top.)
