IX! A Real Colonial Party In Honor Of Washington “Bring colonial days back with a Washington’s birthday dinner,” is an echo from those early Revolu tionary times of our forefathers. !The clever hostess grasps at such an opportunity to plan something unusual. SJie delves into the past for ideas for her colonial dinner and Is rewarded by naving one that her guests long remember. Of course, a dinner in honor of . Washington is always a patriotic It seems to us that the unem-i^g^ hostess may use the ptoyment situation throughout the red wh * ite> and Dlue color sche me, country Is likely to be changed, and or she may t0 tne Wue ana changed soon, now that the Ameri- bu(f 0{ the old Contlnen t a I Army. can Legion has got on the job. f’ or decorations; there are any There are somewhat more than a number of ldeas whlch sh e may milUnn men who wore the Ameri- c outi £ucb as the . herry and eon uniform in the World War who hatchet> coy irams Illled w j t h red are members of the ten thousand and whlte ^ arnations and aecorat- and more American Legion posts, j ed w j[ b blue ribbon, the white Under the leadership of Henry L..j borse wb ^ cn was trie General’s fa/- Steeens Jr., National Commander orlte char g e r during the Sevo.u- ; -- --- LEGAL NOTICE OF TAX SALE THE LEGION TO TUD RESCUE of the Legion, and with the co-op- eration of Matthew Woll, Vice- President of the American Federa- tion of Labor, a movement has be gun having for its avowed purpose the placing of at least one million men, now out of work, in jobs. Co operating with the Legion and the Federation are such organizations as the Association of National Ad vertisers, and all of the important press associations, news syndicates and othor agencies of publicity. We think this is going to be a successful campaign, although it is only just Starting. We think also that it is^a splendid thing for the American Legion {^undertake. We can'think cf no finer patriotic ser vice which these men who once wore Uncle Sam’s uniform could tionary war and several toy nour.Js significant of our hero’s fondness of riding and hunting as his pas time, the little row-boat suggest!/e of crossing the Delaware on that momentous Christmas night, or colored drawings of the flag with thirteen stripes and no stars. All of these are possible decorative motifs. The menu /for such a dinner, whether elaborate or not, should carry out the colonial idea and should include some of the foods that the colonists liked. From the first, the colonists recognized the importance of meat. Whatever methods they may have taken from the natives, they did not depend on wild animals for their supply of meat. For them to have aband- tbis. -XXt- perform, than to come to the res-| oned the dQmestlcated animals 0 f of an International crisis like f or tbe uncertain supply of the h^int might have proved disas trous. Columbus, returning on his second voyage in 1493, brought with him, it is believed, cattle and hogs Tiie year 1932 is still young, and to this ^.itinent. Likewise did the anylSody who would^undertake at 'settlers at Jamestown in 1609 bring IX LOOKS LIKE A GOOD YEAR this early stage to forecast what is going to happen between now and next Christmas is either a fool or a better prophet than we are. But as far as we can see from here, the year has started off more nopciuny than 1931. We are inclined w look with them their supply of cattle and hogs, and to this they added sheep. Since pork was a very pop ular meat with the early colonist, any of the pork dishes such as a pork shoulder roast, pork tender loin with cranberry jeiiy, or pork ahead with the same confidence chops with chestnut dressing are that was exhibited by the old laay who used to say thac sne nad no ticed that if she lived through Feb- quite appropriate for a Washing ton’s birthday dinner. Here is a recipe for pork chops mary she always lived through the with chestnut dressing offered oy rest of the year. It seems to us that the work which has been done at Washing ton. so far, and the other remedial legislation that is apparently cer tain of passage, has already done a great deal toward relieving fear in che business and financial world. There is at least a feeling of hope- tuiness, which was almost lackmg a few months ago. It is hard to blame people for being apprehensive when there seems to be no encouragement ahead. It is hard for a man to keep up his courage in the dark. It took a long time for most people to realize that we had all been dazzled by the false prosperity of a few years ago. Money was easy, lobs were plenty, wages were high and, as it turns out now, even the men whom we regarded as wise and Intelligent leaders in business and finance were fooled, like the rest of us, into believing that these con ditions could go on indefinitely. Most of us spent money recklessly, and a lot of us were greatly sur prised when we discovered that the old natural laws were still in force. It turns out that the old fable of the ant and the grasshopper still provides the safest guide for hu man beings. From all we hear and observe, we think' that people generally have gp£ Over the notion that there is an easy road to sudden wealth. Folks we know are much more rec- •nciled to working hard and living within their means than they were three years ago. We know a good many who were never fooled, and they are the ones who are still sit ting pretty today. And, as we said in the beginning, all the signs that we can read point in the di rection of better times ahead. It looks to us as if, along around 1936, we may be looking back on 1932 as the year when the biggest of all •or national prosperity waves be- 1 where, •an. For one thing is certainly Inez S. Willson, home economist: Pork Chops with Chestnut Dressing 6 pork chops 2 cups bread crumbs. 2 cups cooked chestnuts. 1 onion, chopped. I- 4 green pepper, chopped. 1 tablespoon parsley, minced. II- 2 teaspoons salt. 1-4 teaspoon celery salt. 1 egg oeaten. Few tablespoons water. While the chestnuts are hot, mash them or put them through a ricer. Make a dressing of bread crumbs, chestnuts, and seasonings. Brown the chops on both sides, then place some of the dressing on top of each one. Put the water in the pan and cover closely. Bake in a very moderate oven (300 de grees Fahrenheit) for an hour if the chops are medium chick, long er if necessary. From time to time, dip some of the pan liquor over the chops. Serve on a platter garnish ed with cubes of current jelly or halves of bright red apples. x Under and by virtue of a warrant issued to me by the County Treas urer of McCormick County, I have seized the following described prop erty to satisfy the taxes due the State of South Carolina and the County of McCormick, for the year 1930, and the same will be sold to the highest bidder for cash on salesday in March, 1932, (same be ing the 7th day of March) during the legal hours of sale in front of the Court House Door at McCor mick, South Carolina, and ^he pro^- ceeds of the sale will be applied co the payment of the said taxes and ihe cost of said seizure and sale, to wit: The property of Plum Branch Gih Company, and is described as fol lows: 1 Acre of land, more or less, with improvements thereon, in School District No. 24, McCormick County, bounded on North by Public Road; East by Highway No. 20; South by lands of Mrs. W.

ARNDT One of the prettiest social events in our community this season was a miscellaneous shower given Mrs. Adalaide C. Arndt, recent bride, by her kind friend, Mrs. Marion Winn, at her home Friday afternoon, Feb ruary 12th. Mrs. Winn and Mrs. Arndt taught together here several years and endeared themselves vO all the people, so it was a pleasure to join these friends in this lovely shower. That morning rain fell in torrents, but stopped in time for about a dozen ladies to go. The attendance would have been much larger had the weather been bet ter. Several who failed to get there sent cheir gifts, The home, always attractive, was more so for this lovely occasion. The porch was decorated with pot ted plants. The evergreens by che porch looked iriviting. The hall told very plainly Valentine’s day was near. A huge red heart adorned the door. In the hall were blooming plants and cut flowers. Near the door the guest book was waiting for each to pen some orig inal good wish for the bride. In the parlor Valentine greetings were everywhere, even in the many red hearts that adorned the window curtains and every other place a heart couki hang. The main at traction in the parlor was the bride adorned in her wedding gown of the shade of blue so becoming to her. She surely could not have been more beautiful on her wed ding .lay. Several jolly games called our at tention for some time. One was piercing a heart in the center. Mrs. J. L. Culbreath made the perfect mark. Then sentences were made from the words “Valentine Hearts.” The honor guest won in this; she made 14 sentences. “Consequences” was played; when read caused peals of laughter, Mrs. E. M. Morgan favored the audience with appropriate music. Mrs. J. E. Winn also favored us I with a sweet song. Entered un- I announced a real Valentine adorn ed in hearts, and a red cap, draw ling a {Jretty wagon with hearts all ; about it, heavily, loaded with gifts for the bride. He politely stepped , in front of the bride and asked ! “Will you be my Valentine? She 1 assured him she would and he i pushed the wagon toward her and 'said “Here is all my heart.” Lit- I tie Thomas Culbreath performed ' this most important part of the programme. Four young ladies of the club girls came in with aprons and hearts as head gear, bringing a most delicious salad course, on lace doilies; delicious chicken sal ad, topped *with a red beat heart, on lettuce leaves. There were crack ers, potato chips, pickles, coffee with whipped cream. After this the same girls came back with baskets of mints most ly heart shaped. The bride’s bas ket bore on the handle two hearts pierced with an arrow and a bunch of orange blossoms. The bride, who is always so well composed, and with words for any occasion, was just a little affected as she thanked her friends in a few well chosen words tor the lovely show er. The setting sun reminded us it was time to go home, bringing J to a close a most delightful after- • noon with such charming hostesses 1 as the Mesdames Winn.
