If you asked a class of fourth
‘graders to compile -a cookbook of
‘their favorite recipes, what would
they ‘choose? Recently, students in
Thomas Shaver’s reading class at
Westmoreland Elementary School
“did just that, and believe me, some
‘of those fourth graders have some
“pretty sophisticated tastes.
The cookbook idea came about as
a result of reading the story ‘‘The
‘Magnificent Brain Concocts a
‘Recipe’ by Clifford B. Hicks. In the
“story, the main character Alvin,
who posseses the magnificent brain,
‘and his friend Shoie and sister
Daphne enter a contest with their
‘own candy creation. Although they
reach the final candy recipe after
much trial and error, the kids even-
tually win the contest.
After reading the story, Mr.
‘Shaver asked each of his reading
‘students to bring in their favorite
“recipe. $
“The following recipes are included
in the cookbook: Angel Cookie Pie,
David Knapp; Lemon Luch, Stephen
Hoover; Peanut Butter Candy,
James Reynolds, Joe Kaleta; Lolli-
‘pops, Sherry Conrad; Cherry
Shakes, Nancy ® Kingsbury; Blue-
berry Chantilly Tarts, Brian Askew;
Fancy Party Lemonade, Tammy
Wortman; Brownies, Berit Case,
Scott Bearley; Quick Coffee Cake,
Mark Parish; Banana Nut Bread,
Rdbert Booth; Knox Blox, Shannon
McDonald; Apple Crumble, Robin

As you can see, all the recipes are
‘column: Cherry Shakes, Lollipos,
Peanut Butter Chocolate Candy,
Blueberry Chantilly Tarts, Angel
Cookie Pie and Lemon Lush. Reci-

More than two million Pennsyl-

disease. Many of them are able to
lead normal lives, often with a long-
term recovery program that
includes taking medication.
If you must take medication for
heart disease, these simple medica-
tion guidelines from the American
Heart Association may be helpful:
1. Learn the name and purpose of
each medication prescribed for you.
Ask your doctor how the drug works
and why you must take it.
2. Follow your doctor’s prescrip-
tion exactly. This will help ensure
the drug’s effectiveness. Do not stop
taking your medication simply

3. Renew your prescriptions in

toms. Medications are prescribed
for an individual and should not be
exchanged.

The Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, through its Bureau of
Weights and Measures, is warning
consumers to be careful when
making purchases of firewood.
According to Regional Director,
Mr. Russell Gunton, Bureau regula-
tions require that, “wood for fuel
shall be sold by the cord of 128 cubic
feet or fraction thereof, and shall be
accompanied by a statement or
invoice certifying the amount sold
and presented to the buyer or his
designee at the time of delivery or
billing.”
Many dealers advertise and sell
firewood by the ‘face cord”, ‘home
cord” or ‘truckload’, all of which
tions.
The Department’s Weights and
Measures inspectors are checking
all dealers in the Region to insure
compliance.
Mr. Gunton said that consumers
who suspect they have been shorted
or who suspect violations of this
regulation should contact their city
or county sealer or contact the
Department’s Region III Office, Box
