ANSWER - Hattie Diehl, Mifflmburg, asked for a recipe
to make homemade soap from wood ashes. Thanks go to
April Dudko, Telford, for the following advice.
Homemade Soap
To make lye using ashes, it is necessary to drip water
through the ashes and collect it The ashes from a winter’s
worth of wood burning should be sufficient. Using a large
kettle or iron washpot, put in the lye water (about 1 gallon)
and add 2 pounds of grease. Any fat can be used - bacon,
beef, etc. ■ as long as it is melted and strained. Stir to
combine and put on a fire. Stir until mixture becomes very
thick. Pour into an enamel pan and allow to cool. Cut into
bars. This recipe can be increased by increasing the
amount of lye water and grease. CAUTION: Do Not Use

Adams Is lltyoming-Uckawanrw
BY BARBARA MILLER
Lycoming County Correspondent
TUNKHANNOCK - Christina
Adams received the Wyoming-
Lackawanna dairy princess crown
during festivities at Moose Hall,
Tunkhannock, May 24.
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Eugene Adams, Mehoopany,
Christina was the only contestant
in this year’s contest. But even
though she stood alone, judge
Ralph Sands noted, Christina could
have stood lots of competition.
The dimpled, blue-eyed brunette
received a perfect score in every
category, including general ap
pearance and speaking ability,
personality and poise, and industry
knowledge, Sands said.
In addition to working on the
farm, Christina is a member of the
band and honor society. She also
plays on the field hockey and
basketball teams. Presently a
junior at Tunkhannock High
School, she plans to attend college
or business school after
graduation.
“I understand what farmers go
through,” Christina replied in
answer to a question concerning
qualities she may possess that
would make her a good dairy
princess. She knows what it is like
to get up early, she said. Further,
she noted, she would like to see
something done to help farmers
who have remained in the business
after the dairy termination buyout
but who are receiving smaller milk
checks.
In her farewell remarks, Jill
Kitz, 1985-86 Wyoming-
Lackawanna county dairy prin
cess, noted she made 205 ap
pearances and spoke to 7,040
people. Although acknowledging
that the hardest part was talking to
peers in her own high school, Jill
said she enjoyed speaking to
children during school promotions
the most.
Jill said her enthusiasm for
being dairy princess really began
at the three-day dairy princess
seminar at Lycoming College,

when, “I saw the need for dairy
princesses to straighten out
misconceptions about the dairy
industry.”
She encouraged the new princess
to strive for the highest
achievement. She recalled that she
was elected second runner-up for
the state pageant last year.
Jill thanked many for their help,
including her family and the dairy
princess committee. She dedicated
her dairy princess activities of the
past year to her mother, who
passed away within the year.
The pageant was judged by Jean
Castrogiovanni, Montrose; Ralph
Sands, Wyoming; and Harry
Wilson, Tunkhannock.
During the pageant Jill and 1985-
Christina Adams was crowned 1986-87 Wyomihg-
Lackawanna County dairy princess in Tunkhannock last
Saturday.
