It's the cinnamon, sugar and sour cream topping- i that makes it different . . . and oh so good. . Commercial sour cream is suggested because we like the zip of it with fruits, however, whipped eream may be used if you prefer. Make other canned fruit pies by your favorite recipe and try them with this elegant topping. Apple slices, tart cherries, apricots, plums, r blue berries are some suggestions. Deep Dish Peach Pie 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons butter, or 3 tablespoons flour margarine teaspoon salt Pastry 1 can (1 lb. 14 oi.) 1 cup commercial sour cream sliced peaches ' 2 tablespoons brown sugar ' 1 tablespoon lemon juice . teaspoon cinnamon, or nutmeg Mix sugar, flour and salt Gradually add 1 cup syrup drained from the peaches.-mixing until smooth. Add drained peaches and lemon juice. Put into baking dish and dot with butter. Fit pastry over dish, fluting to the edge. Cut several slits to allow escape of steam. Bake in a hot oven (425F.) about 30 minutes, until crust is browned. Serve warm. Just before serving, spoon sour cream over crust and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinna.non. Five to six servings. When refinishing a piece of furniture with carved wood working, try this. Use steel wool in taking the finish off . . . attach a length of the wool to the gum my side of wide adhesive tape, then pull the wool back and forth across the curved surfaces. Vegetable shortening mixed with home-rendered lard will help keep the lard fresh.' It takes two pounds of shortening to 'each 50 pounds of lard. J3u! 1 lit Annual Recognition Luncheon Held for Girl Scout Workers " The Girl Scout organization helps build a healthy generation of youth for a useful tomorrow Mrs. Michele Rossi, Medford, told leaders and other adult workers who attended the annual recog nition luncheon last week.

Christian Work In India Topic Of Missionary Guests from Grants Pass and Ashland joined with the Ruth Esther Wesleyan Service guild of First Methodist church here for a potluck dinner Tuesday evening, April 19. The Rev. Raymond E. Bal comb explained the principles of the Social creed of the Meth odist church to the group. Miss Laura Heist, a mission ary who has served manv vears in India, was the guest speaker oi the evening. She told of the Christian work in India, and spoke of the leaders of India and of their attitudes toward the missionaries. Miss Heist, who wore a sari, gave a demonstra tion of how to drape a sari, and displayed a number of these, telling how the colors are matched. Miss Heist brought out that the caste system is not as strong as it was and though outlawed, works in about the same man ner as our own non-segregation laws. The main immediate re sult, she explained, is that it opened the wells for community water to the untouchables and opened the temples. The tem ples are not attended, however, by many of the lower, castes because they still are unwanted by the higher castes. Seven out of 10 people are dependent on the land. Miss Heist said. "India has not learned to work as a cooperative group as yet," the speaker . said, "and though they do work well together on the family level, they do not think on a community or world level," she added. "They need food but tractors are of no help to them, because of the smallness of their fields. Research is being done on a compromise plow . which will cultivate deeper than their small ones but are not as heavy as our large ones," Miss Heist . said. More acreage is now under cultivation than ever before as the result of dams America has helped build, but actually it was a Japanese who taught them how to successfully raise rice, the speaker explained. Of interest here is the fact that Christmas seals now are sold in India. Mrs. Bernice Kunzman con ducted the devotions. The pot luck supper was in charge of Mrs. Rex Note assisted by Mrs. C. C. Proctor, Mrs. William Sweet, and Mrs. M. McGrew.

This time they are asking for $75,000 for its operation and enforcement. The meat industry has consented to match that amount for the cause. This will provide what is called a pilot program with spot inspection crews over the state. So the "old girl" still has a pulse and where there's a pulse, even though it's weak, there's still hope. The tax program is now in the .Senate's tax committee where it's having a more rug ged time than it had , in the House tax committee." The fabulous "timber party" was held in the Legion hall last Friday evening. A. A. "Tony" Lausmann was up for the oc casion, he being one of its spon sors and supporters. This is the time when the press and the legislative mem bers begin to talk of who will run again and for what office next time. At this point there's a friend ly race between Rep. L o r e n Stewart of Cottage Grove and Rep Ed Cardwell of Sweet Home for the position of speaker of the House for the 57th ses sion. In the Senate the top contend ers for the presidency are Sena tor Paul Geddes and Senator Warren Gill. And then there have been many of the legisla tive members mentioned as po tential candidates for a few of the top state offices. In act, it's practically a call of the house for both the Senate and the House. And yesterday it had gotten down to a call of the secretaries and even Frances Littrell was on cne list as a potential for the House of Representatives. Tomorrow the pages will no doubt be included insome one's list. Now you know why this legislative body is referred to as the most congenial legisla ture yet. No one is ever left out just every one is included in everything. Very little social ' activity thes days. Everyone is just too busy with the tasks at hand. Junior High PTA Sets Junior High School Parent Teacher association will hold the final meeting of the school year in the girls' gymnasium of the school Thursday, April 27, at 7:30 p. m.
