Editorially Speaking
Let The Bells Ring Out
Liberty was proclaimed at the time of the Revolu-
tionary War by the ringing of bells, the message carrizd
from hamlet to hamlet, far out into the hinterlands.
It seems peculiarly fitting at this time that bells
should again carry the message.
Churches across the Nation are asked to participate
in the demonstration, ringing their bells at 2 p.m..
the Fourth of July.
In these days when the liberty of the individual, the
foundation stone of the Constitution and of the Bill of
Rights, is being threatened by encroachment of the Fed-
eral Government in private affairs, it is well to reflect
upon what liberty actually means.
Liberty, not license.
A realization that our country, large and powerful,
is made up of a myriad of smaller communities, each
with its own precepts, handed down from father to son,
a precious heritage.
Not all people believe alike.
Not all people are cast in the same mold.
For some, the call of the home acres. For others,
the hum of the city.
There are those in Pennsylvania who hold cherished
traditions, going their way quietly, enriching the fields,
dedicated to making the earth productive.
The Plain People.
Because they are different, they have been exposed
to what amounts to persecution for their faith.
Many of the Amish and the Mennonites have left
this state to seek other homes where they could live as
they wished, and bring up their children as they wished,
taking with them their love and understanding of the
soil.
The Government has imposed upon them regulations
which they cannot accept, taken from them their means
of livelihood by impounding their draft horses. This has
made national news.
There are no indigent elderly people in an Amish
community. They are cared for by their own,
The government has become so large that it threatens
to devour its people.
PEOPLE, not statistics.
Let the bells ring out..

She Will Be Back
France fell to its knees and thanked the Allies for
deliverance two decades ago at the time of the Invasion.
It welcomed the NATO headquarters.
It fattened on the money spent by our soldiers.
Now that the enemy is no longer battering at the
door, she is entirely willing to dispense with foreign
soldiers on her soil (if you can call NATO foreign), and
also willing to keep the mammoth installations, the air
strips, and the equipment which cannot be moved.
She will be back, clamoring for help.
She will get it, just as she did in the First World
War, and in the Second.
But there is no doubt about it, it gets a little tiresome.

From—
Pillar lo Post ..
by HIX
Mrs. Robert Stair and Mrs. Robert Lewis, with co-chairman
Mrs. Hans Dreher, ask that anybody who can make good home-made
candy, bear in mind that the candy booth at the Library Auction
needs candy: all kinds, fudge, peanut brittle,
If anybody knows how to make old fashioned pulled taffy, it
it a strong drawing card. A lump is guaranteed to keep a child's
jaws firmly clamped together, thereby keeping him incommunicado
long enough to give his parent's eardrums a rest while they bid on
a lawn mower and/or a broken-down rocking chair.
There are people who know how to make the stuff. It has to
be pulled while it is still hot enough to scorch the fingers, and it
works best with two people, though it can be pulled on a hook fas-
tened to the wall.
There must be plenty of old-timers in the community, folks
who can pull taffy and boil down maple sugar into candy.
Hix has a small amount of genuine maple syrup which she will
contribute to the cause .". . but not the cause of pancakes. Any-
body. whe gets that maple syrup will have to promise to turn it
into maple candy for the Auction and hot for home consumption.
The lollypop situation is already well in hand. Mrs. Stair says
that four Girl Scout troops are working on it.
The sea-foam is simple enough. Sugar and water boiled to-
gether until it spins a thread, then beaten into a stiffly whipped
egg white.’ A smidge of instant coffee in the syrup while boiling
makes: a near-maple flavor. Nuts meats add a delightful touch,
added when the mixture is ready to be dropped by the spoonful
on waxed paper.
And don’t expect an armored truck to pull at your door to col-
lect a box of candy. Bring it yourself. The booth always runs out
of home-made candy Saturday afternoon. :
And for the baked goods, make up a flock of cupcakes or tiny
hand-pies which can be eaten on the wing.
Muffin tins are the right size for hand-pies. The crust slips
out easily. Better make them open-face, it’s easier. Not a drippy
recipe. Pumpkin custard is about. right. Don’t try to use paper
liners for the pies. For the cupcakes, paper liners are superb, mak-
ing for easy handling.
Anybody want a sure-fire, fool-proof recipe for brown bread,
to be eaten hot, dripping with butter, or sliced thin for cream cheese
sandwiches when cold? You make it in a bread tin in the oven in-
stead of steaming it in the wash-boiler, and then you tip it upside
down on a sheet of brown paper or even an ex-copy of the Dallas
Post. It steams itself something noble.
This brown bread stands alone because of its thrift. It was
invented by some ingenious housewife at the time of year when the
hens were refusing to lay and when the cows had gone dry.
Remember that motto of the State of Maine? ‘Make it do,
use it up, do without.”
It is applicable to this brown bread recipe, but don’t think it
isn’t good. It's superior, especially when hot out of the oven with
baked beans and home-made chile sauce.
I've already promised to make a loaf for the baked goods count-
It never lets you down, either with or without raisins.
No more cinnamon buns. Let somebody else beat off the crowd.
Just try and get a couple pans of cinnamon buns, hot from the oven,
up: the slope from the auction block to the baked goods.
You get mobbed.
Far better to bring something which has been allowed to cool
off, and does not send out Snchanting aromas.
