Warm, juicy deep dish peach pie just like Mom used to make, but
there's a difference. 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.

ROTARY CLUB
Wednesday evening the Medford Rotary club -will
join with other Oregon Rotary clubs in a state- -i
wide salute to their organization, marked by a ra-
dio hook-up of many state radio stations. This
.event is part of an almost world-wide celebration,

Rotary has become a powerful force for world
peace, through close association of thousands of -. .
clubs in all countries outside the Iron Curtain. On

ment and support youth activities, building a bet
ter world from the grass roots.
The world needs more organizations such as

unselfish and useful public service. We hope that
the next half-century sees the. growth of world
wide Rotary and all it stands for!

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.
A good cleaner for washable
walls and painted woodwork is
made by adding one cup of am
monia, Vt cup vinegar and Vi

Meat Bill
Revived
By House
By FRANCES LITTRELL
To our delight and surprise
House Bill 99 (on meat inspec
tion) has again escaped the ax,
and today it was again referred
to the ways and means commit
tee. 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.
