Women Urged to Plan Now to BACCALAUREATE SERVICE SUNDAY Attend Eagle-Joy Theatre May 18 Is Business Cooking School onScreen Here Women Many Injured Big Day During Week, For School Installed Report Shows Women throughout the communitj are planning to attend the friendly class for home-makers, the Motion Picture Cooking School, scheduled to open at the Joy Theatre, Thurs day, June 2. A welcome invitation ‘to the wise is sufficient, and the only invitation needed for this novel cooking school is that extended to every woman by The Eagle and Joy Theatre. There Is no charge to see any of the show ings of “Star in My Kitchen”. Because this paper stands ready to sponsor all progressive develop ments, particularly when they affect tne homes of the community, it is presenting this motion picture ro mance of home-making entirely free. “If I could only see exactly how she fixes and handles her pie-crust.” That comment has been heard from beginners and from more ex perienced cooks at many cooking schools. Craning necks and anxious eyes, trained on the stage from the sides and back of the demonstration hall, have failed to catch all of the important steps in pastry-making and other culinary arts. Only the early birds in the very front row had a close-up of the stage in the past, and even they couldn’t peer directly into the mixing bowl. Now the wizardry of the camera has solved the problem, making it possible for every person in the Joy Theatre to share -each fascinating rtage of the planning, measuring, blending, and baking in practical, up-to-tjie minute kitchens. Keeping pace with the baking toasting and frying, a series of sal- Is and frozen delicacies will par-’d" in and out of the adaptable elec tric refrigerator, which will reveal its host of possibilities for simplify ing labor and marketing, and contri buting to good health and good food What to do with left-overs? How to take the gloom out of laundrj day? How to save time, energy and temper in meal preparation? How to be attractive in spite of the daily rush? How to make the pie crust that men love to eat? How to give first-aid to fallen cakes? It won’t be necessary to ask the questions, for expert home specia lists have anticipated these very problems. They know what bothers many an experi:nced housekeeper, because it is their job to know and to counsel' helpfully. Fun, novelty and entertainment are joined throughout the feature picture, for it is always fair weather when neighborly cooks get together. Home-making has a universal ap peal, and every woman is eager to learn the newest news of her craft. Cooking, romance, modern kitch ens, and clever actors and actresses do not tell the complete story of this 1938-model cooking school. The picure is a whole laboratory of mod ern ideas and wise council, touching on latest developments in home equipment and accessories, includ ing laundry methods, ways to pre pare left-overs, beauty secrets, hin.s on saving time and labor, and fresh (Continued on page 12.) Serious to Minor Cuts, Fractures Covered in Story of Activity Many persons were injured the past week, some in the woods, an other while switching, and others at home.
