THE DALLAS POST, NOV. 19, 1970
Topping off a delightful roast beef dinner with all the trimmings
were these generous slices of pie, served by WSCS members of
the Maple Grove Methodist Church to Penn State Circle K
students who had painted the Sweet Valley Church. Pictured left
to right are Charlotte Davis, Freda Graham, Eleanor Bronson,
and Evadne Ruggles.
Antiquing
with
Joel Sater
“People develop a yen to col-
lect things from the era just
before they were born,” says
collector Robert Brown of New
York City. “Many of today’s
collectors under forty do their
best to acquire collectibles with
the flavor of the 1920's and
1930’s.”’
The decorative art and every-
day household items created
during those years are highly
sought after by young collectors
who refer to them as being from
the ‘Art Deco Period.”
“Geometric and curvilinear
lines plus much use of brilliant
color contrasts usually charact-
erized the art deco style,”
Brown continues. ‘The strong
use of color during the “roaring
twenties’’ and ‘‘depression
thirties” was strongly influ-
enced by the poster and graphic
designers which preceeded it,
roughly the years from 1890 to
World War 1.”
Art deco was especially influ-
enced by the designs of ancient
Egyptian and Oriental artifacts
which may often appear more
modern than ancient. Ancther
powerful influence on ‘‘art
deco’, stemmed from the works
of the designers for Diagileff’s
famous Russian Ballet who
freely used extremely vibrant
color tones and shadings.
“Art Deco was the first dis-
tinctive style to be mass pro-
duced, making broadly avail-
able the results of the fine
craftsmanship of designers like
Rene Lalique, the movement’s
most important glass maker,”
Robert Brown states. ‘‘Other

church painters
get hearty meal
If the way to a fellow’s heart
is through his stomach, the
hearts of several Penn State
students have been amply
touched.
The students are members of
Penn State’s Circle K Club, an
organization which last month
undertook the painting of the
Maple Grove Methodist Church
in Sweet Valley. On Saturday,
the young men were guests of
honor at a roast beef dinner pre-
pared for them by women of the
church. :
In preparation for the ban-
quet, several members of the
church’s WSCS arose at day-
break Saturday to make certain
that a 15-pound roast beef was
cooked in time for the mid-day
meal. In addition to the roast
beef, the students feasted on
mashed potatoes and gravy,
applesauce, fresh corn, cole
slaw, baked lima beans, mac-
aroni and cheese, and for des-
sert, mouth-watering home-
made pies. Because the expert
cooks scorn packaged foods, the
entire dinner was painstakingly
prepared ‘from scratch.”
The dinner won lavish
compliments from the 20 church
painters, with several who live
away from home conceding that
they hadn’t eaten so well in
weeks. The cooks—Eleanor
Bronson, Freda Grahan, Charo-
lotte Davis, and Evadne
Ruggles—beamed their pleas-
ure at the compliments, and it
was clear that a new mutual
admiration society had been
formed.
The church, which is located
on the road to Sweet Valley, now
sparkles thanks to its bright
white coat of paint. Because
classes prevented the students
from working full-time, the
painting had to be done on
Saturdays stretched out over
October and November. Bad
weather hampered the work,
too, and there was doubt that
the job could be completed be-
fore the winter cold settled over
the tiny church. The students
worked steadily, however, and
by last Saturday had virtually
finished the task.
At long last—remember all
those recipes that call for a
tablespoon or two of tomato
paste? Tomato paste comes in
resealable glass jars. Use as
much or as little as you need;
seal and refrigerate the rest in
its own neat glass jar.

cards may land
as dead letters
Dallas Postmaster E. M.
Buckley said today that more
than a million greeting cards
mailed last Christmas in Penn-
sylvania, New Jersey and Dela-
ware could not be delivered
because they were incompletely
or illegibly addressed.
First class letters received at
the Dallas Post Office without
an identifiable mailing or
return address are sent to the
dead letter office at Philadel-
phia. That office opened
1,100,000 pieces of such mail
after the last Christmas mailing
period, seeking clues to the
sender or recovering valuable
contents to be claimed by the
sender. Of this number only
16,000 could be returned; the
rest were destroyed.
“Every greeting card should
show the name and address of
the sender in addition to the
destination address,” Mr.
Buckley advised. ‘“And of
course, both addresses should
include the ’zip Code. The ex-
change of Christmas cards
offers the ideal opportunity to
let your occasional correspon-
dents know your correct ad-
dress and ZIP Code.
“With the increasing number
of large apartment buildings,
mail addressed to apartment
dwellers should show the
specific apartment number,
Mr. Buckley added.
“Check through bundles of
greeting cards before mailing
them,” he suggested, ‘‘to make
certain that each one if fully and
clearly addressed. If one of your
cards ends up at the dead letter
office, you may never know it,
but why risk disappointing a
friend?”’
_ Mr. Buckley recommended
the same care in addressing and
packing gift parcels. He
proposed enclosing a slip of
paper in each parcel listing the
contents and the name a
address of the mailer and #%-
dressee, in the event the outside
wrapper comes loose.
