inscription - on the right side of the
churn reads: Improved Original,
Union Chum, Pat. Dec. 20, 1864,
First Premium at the State Fairs
of Ohio, Ind., Mic., m., Wis., and N
York, manufactured official Union
Chum Co. Tiffin, Ohio.
Visitors to the Zang home will
find a rocking barrel chum in the
mud room, along with two
decorated crocks of flowers and
other country items adorning the
walls.
Nestled in the dining area by the
comer chair, a dasher, barrel
chum, butter bowl and paddles,
and a square butter mold will
invoke thoughts of how the
homemaker managed to make
butter in her time. Housewives
lived and worked by an old saying:
wash on Monday, iron on Tuesday,
mend on Wednesday, chum on
Thursday, clean on Friday, bake
Pa. Beef Cookoff
HARRISBURG - Ten “super
beef” chefs from across the
commonwealth will prepare their
prize recipes in the home
economics kitchen of Trinity High
School in Shiremanstown on
Monday, June 11, for the annual
Pennsylvania Beef Cookoff Finals.
Sponsored by the Pennsylvania
Cattlemen’s Association and the
Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, the contest is con
ducted to elicit the most delicious
and innovative ideas for preparing
beef.
Competing in this year’s finals
are: E.M. Banjack of Norristown:
Miranda DeSantis of Bethlehem;
Ruth Huzuda of Monongahela;
Deborah Herndon of State College;
Peggy Kovacs of Bethlehem;
Joyce McMaster Moul of York
Haven; Sandra Novicelli of Apollo;
Florence Thigpen of Hanover; and
Anne Tomichek of Philadelphia.
The two alternates for the contest
are Lorraine Alaimo of Peckville
and John Wells of Danville.
Their dishes are to be prepared
in the high school kitchen that
morning under the supervision of
the contest judges. Upon com
pletion and setting, the dishes are
scored by a panel of three judges.
Judging takes place from noon
until 2 p.m.
Butter
chums
on Saturday, and rest on Sunday.
How times have changed!
Two glass butter churns sitting
on the dining room hutch are in
triguing because an observer can
watch the butterfat in the chum
turn slowly into a lump as the
paddles go round and round. One of
the glass jars bears this inscription
on it: Dazey Chum No 60 pattened
Feb. 14, 1922, made by the Dazey
Chum Manufacturing co., St.
Louis, Missouri. The other glass
chum has no inscription, but is still
a conversation piece, Jean said.
Jean’s interest in decorating her
home with carved wooden and
glass churns, started in 1974. Any
old working item dated in the 18th
or 19th century that will add a
small touch of country to her
home, has a place in her decor.
“They are more of collectables
than antiques,” she says of the
items which she truly enjoys.

The top chef wins $125 in prize
money and a half-expense paid trip
to the National Beef Cookoff Finals
in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Sept.

Officiating at the Pennsylvania

Heather Schofield of Chester
County.
