FEDERAL CHECK
ON REQUESTED
SERVICE MADE
Kitty Hawk Postmaster
Counts Southern Shores
Mail for Five Day
Period
Kitty Hawk. At a time when
the postoffice department is snip
ping off small postoffices here
and there to bring operation
coats within revenue, a request
from Southern Shores residents
for rural free delivery occasioned
a bit of research.
Pending action on a petition
presented by Southern Shores
residents, the postoffice depart
ment had the postmaster, Mrs.
E. M. Baum, keep a record for
five days of the number of pieces
of mail addressed to persons who
would be served by the proposed
extension of the present mail
route to Duck. This procedure,
which involved handling each
piece,- of mail an extra time, was
intended to determine whether
or not free delivery was justi
fied.
Some Southern Shores people
get their mail in boxes or at the
general delivery window at Kitty
Hawk postoffice; others pick it
up at Anderson’s store, where it
is delivered',

The Hostess with the mostest
know-how in entertaining serves
her guests simple but superbly
seasoned food, and she never plans
a number of complicated courses
without ample serving help.
There’s nothing so distracting, no
matter how good the food may
be. as a hostess jumping up and
down, up and down to serve.
When the June bride gives her
first luncheon, Nancy Holmes of
the Best Foods consumer kitchens,
suggests salad and dessert courses
as the best menu plan. A chicken
salad garnished with tomato
wedges is delicious. W'ith it pass
melba toast and finger sandwiches
of water cress and cucumber. “*"•
Dessert for these hot days would
ideally be something with fresh
, fruit. An ice-cold melon cup top
ped with lime sherbet would make
a colorful and taste-thrilling finish.
Rich Chicken Salad
’4 cup real mayonnaise
1 package (3 oz.) cream cheese
*4 cup milk • ,
Dash of Tabasco sauce
% cup finely diced celery
5 to 6 cups cooked chicken, diced
% to 1 cup small stuffed olives,
halved
Salt and pepper
Salad greens . v .>>
Blend real mayonnaise and
cream cheese thoroughly. Add
milk and stir until smooth and
creamy. Add Tabasco sauce and
celery. Let stand in refrigerator
while preparing chicken and
olives. Toss chicken and olives

son to taste. Chill and serve on
salad greens. Yield: 8 servings.

Coinjock were Sunday guests of
the Rev. and Mrs. W. J. Free

LACK OF EXCUSE
IS NO DRAWBACK
Kitty Hawk. A birthday
party without a birthday turned
out to be just as much fun as if
there had been a guest of honor.
Each month, the beginners’
class of the Methodist Sunday
school has a party to honor all
the members whose birthdays
fall in that period. In August, no
body in the glass had a birthday,
but the pupils who range in age
from 3 to 6, didn’t mind.
They gathered on the church
lawn for games and they sang
and prayed together. When re
freshment time came, grape
juice, cookies, mints and candy
were served.
Mrs. R. M. Best was hostess,
assisted by Mrs. Alston Meekins.
They are the teachers in the
department.
