N. A. SHOUSE Pears were valued as highly as exotic jewels by ancient Persian kings. Later, growing pears be came part of the monastery gar dening and was a hobby of the elite.

Pears, unlike many fruits, should be ripened off the tree for best flavor and texture. Pears are normally picked when mature but in a hard stage. These then ripen in shipping or storage. Pears that are not to be used immediately should be purchased slightly underripe. Keep them in a cool, humid place in a fair ly airtight container. Check them daily as some ripen faster than others. Don’t plan to keep them too long for they may lose some of their delicate flavor. Pears do not contribute sig nificant amounts of nutrients to the diet but are used for fla vor, texture and eye appeal. A fresh pear contains about 95 cal ories. Versatility is the work for pears. Have them for break fast with milk or cream or use over cereal - hot or cold. Use them in fruit cups and gel atine salads. In combination, top with shredded cheese, cranberry sauce, peanut butter, minced chicken, crabmeat or shrimp. Garnish with mint and serve with crackers. For dessert, try pear a lo mode by topping a pear half with mint ice, lime sherbert or pep permint ice cream. To p r e v e n t d i s c o lor a ti on, sprinkle any citrus fruit juice over fresh peeled or cut pears. When enjoying fresh pears, why not consider adding a few pear trees to your home orchard. Here in S. C. the Maxine and Moon- flow are very good varieties. In the lower part of the state the Orient grows very well. Fresh pears will be at their peak during September. Enjoy them while they are plentiful. 1 he Old iMn&L Members and friends of Fair view Baptist Church celebrated Home-coming Sunday. Rev.W.W.

We all wish to have confi dence, but sometimes we be come confused about the source of the power that works through us. We attribute too much importance to the per sonality, when we should real ize that it is through God in us that we are able to do and to be all things. Through Him we have the power and confi dence that we need to cope with every situation.

What ex actly ARE all these new skirt lengths? Where does one wear them, and how, and what’s the right length for skirts for street wear? For the beach? For Evening? The best street length now is at the top of the knee, give- or-take an inch, depending on proportions, your way of life, your own preferences. The MINI, about 4” above the knees, is already an accepted length by some. It’s best for sportswear and the young girl who has always looked best in it. The newer MIDI (frankly still controversial length) has a place in your fashion life, too. Since you sew, you can experiment wifi) it and the MAXI without a great wardrobe changeover. The midi, falling midway between knee and ankle is an exciting new look for evening and some after-five dresses. For casual midi look, choose informal fabrics - homespuns, dimities, ginghams, and trim them wifii rickrack, braid or lace. Wear casual, flat shoes Church of Christ 603 N. Broad St. — Clinton, S. C.
