McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C. THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1941 3C -H++T- T ■p w *A PICNICKING WE WILL GO ’ (See Recipes Below) IT’S PICNIC TIME! The soft, sunny days of late May and early June tempt even the most conscientious to turn their backs on work, and, since “the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it,” a picnic is the answer! One reason for the nation-wide popularity of picnics is that they’re easy on the lady of the house . . . sliced tomatoes and green onions for salad . . . corn - on - the - cob, if a vegeta ble is wanted (“roasting ears” may be cooked in hot coals, allowing 20 minutes to a half hour for the best flavor) . . . taste-tempting cheeseburgers . , . lemonade, milk or coffee, or all three f . . and dessert—it’s as simple as that! No dishes to wash afterward . . . no table linen for the laundry bag ... in fact, it’s almost a case of “no work and all play!’* For that “something hot** which is a picnic “must,** I suggest plump, juicy cheeseburgers. If you’re pic- nicking in the woods, your array of ’burgers probably won’t look like the above picture, but they’ll no doubt taste the same. If you are entertaining the family or guests at A “back yard’’ supper, you can serve a large tray of cheeseburgers with assorted relishes, shoe-string pota toes, and tall glasses of milk or iced tea—they’ll love the combination! * Cheeseburgers With Piquant Sauee. 2 pounds ground beef % cup milk 1 teaspoon salt Dash pepper % pound American cheese Ya pound butter 8 buttered buns Mix ground beef with milk, salt and pepper. Form 8 patties of meat about 3 inches in diameter. Cut 8 slices of cheese slightly smaller than size of meat patties. Melt butter in skillet and fry patties slowly for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning sev eral times during the codking pe riod. Place on buttered toasted buns, spread with piquant sauce and top with a slice of cheese. (If pre pared indoors, place under broiler flame until cheese begins to melt). Serves 8. Piquant Sauee. % cup chili sauce Va cup pickle relish 1 tablespoon prepared mustard, or 1 tablespoon horseradish Mix all ingredients together well. If a more highly seasoned sauce is preferred, a teaspoon of Worcester shire sauce may be added. Or you may want to try fried eggs and hamburger, sandwich style. Cook hamburgers, set aside to keep hot. Fry eggs in same skillet, and serve eggs atop the hamburgers. f LYNN SAYS: When hamburgers are included in the picnic menu, form the pat ties of ground meat, mixed with minced onion and seasoning, be fore you leave home. Place be tween waxed paper, and they’re ready to cook when the fire is ready. Hash goes upstage when it is used as a bun filler. Scoop out rolls, (leftover or fresh) butter insides and pile full of savory cooked hash. Brush top with melted butter or gravy and bake 15 minutes in moderate oven. Ideal for out-of-door suppers. To “dress-up’’ your picnic bill- of-fare, there are colorful oilcloth and/or paper tablecloths and nap kins. You can find them designed to carry out nearly any theme you so desire. And, as an added tip, in case you’re planning to spread an oilcloth covering on the ground, attach it to a pair of old curtain rollers. They’ll pre vent even the strongest wind from blowing it away! Good news for picnic lovers are the new “lunch’’ kits. In them you’ll find two one-quart vacuum bottles, plus a metal lunch box. The bottles carry their own cups, nested within their screw tops. The nicest thing, however, is the leg which converts the inside lid into a table. THIS WEEK’S MENU Bonfire Banquet •Cheeseburgers With Piquant Sauce Sliced Tomatoes and Green Onions Raw Carrots Potatoes or Green Com, Roasted over Hot Coals Cup Cakes, Pie (not juicy, please) or Fruit Coffee or Milk in a Thermos, or Lemonade •Recipe given. Here are more let's-have-a-picnic suggestions: Cole Slaw. (To M?ke “On Location’*) 3 cups finely shredded cabbage % cup mayonnaise 3 tablespoons french dressing 2 tablespoons thick cream Mix the mayonnaise, french dress ing and cream together and mix into the cabbage just before serving. Add more salt if necessary. Old-Fashioned Potato Salad. 4 cups diced, boiled potatoes 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped Ya cup finely minced sweet pickle 2 to 4 tablespoons minced onion % cup pimiento, chopped Salt, pepper and celery salt 1 cup cooked salad dressing 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Mix all ingredients together light ly. Let stand, chilling, for at least 1 hour. If desired, the onion and po tato may be mar inated over night in french dress ing before being mixed with other ingredients. Variations: Meats, such as diced tongue, ham or frankfurters may be added to the standard recipe, and seasonings of chives and green pep per may be included. Marshmallow-Graham Cracker Dessert Sandwich. For each person, allow % milk chocolate candy bar, 2 graham crackers and 2 marshmallows. Toast marshmallows, then place them on the chocolate candy that is on one graham cracker. Put the second graham cracker on top and it is ready to eat. The marshmallows should be hot and soft. • • * While your picnic group may be addicted to frankfurters in their own sweet, natural style, you might like to try a new trick. Split the large frankfurters down their middles, spread with rich, brown prepared mustard, fill with chopped sweet pickle and turn them over to the “cooking department’* to broiL They’ll prove ever so popular! Here’s a good one to cook in a kettle: put in one potato for each person, and cover with water. When potatoes are almost tender, add frankfurters (enough for everybody) and heat thoroughly. With buttered buns, ketchup, and perhaps some fresh fruit for dessert, you have a simple and extremely tasty picnic meal. • • • If it’s ice cream you’re planning for dessert,- I’d suggest you use an ice cream freez er (little son can do the grinding before “starting’* time), or pack re frigerator - made ice cream in dry ice. Here’s a rec ipe for a favorite that should please everyone. Chocolate Ice Cream. 1 square unsweetened chocolate % cup sweetened condensed milk % cup water Yt teaspoon powdered mace Yz cup whipping cream Melt chocolate in top of double boiler. Add sweetened condensed milk and stir over boiling water for five minutes until mixture thickens. Add water and mix well. Chill thor oughly. Add mace. Whip cream to custard-like consistency and fold into chilled mixture. Pour into freezing pan. Place in freezing unit of refrigerator. After mixture ia about half frozen, remove from re frigerator. Scrape mixture from sides and bottom of pan. Beat until smooth, but not until melted. Smooth out and replace in freezing unit until frozen for serving Serves 6. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL s L UNDAY chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQU1ST. D. D. D« )ean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for June 1 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. BROADENING CHRISTIAN HORIZONS: THE ANTIOCH MOVEMENT LESSON TEXT—Acts 11:19-30. GOLDEN TEXT—For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that be- lieveth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.—Romans 1:10. Scattered abroad! As the flying sparks and embers from a fire which is wildly beaten will light many new fires, just so persecution of the early Christians sent them abroad and established new centers for the preaching of the gospel. Verse 19 of our lesson connects with Acts 8:4. The ministry of Philip in Samaria was paralleled by that of others in Phenice, Cyprus, and now in Anti och. That great city was not far from Jerusalem, but it was far from God. A mighty city, rich in trade, it was also deep in all kinds of sin; but there it pleased God to establish a great center of Christian testi mony. God loves to do new things (see, for example, II Cor. 5:17; Isa, 43:19; Ps. 33:3; Rev. 21:5). I. A New Church (w. 19-21). What a splendid church it was! Here in the midst of the most evil surroundings the sweet flower of Christian faith grew, as it so often does. It was a church built upon a faith ful testimony by God’s chosen wit nesses “preaching the Lord Jesus’* (v. 20). Their names are not noted, but their message is, and its blessed results. It was a gathering place for all people—Jews and Gentiles. The disciples from Jerusalem preached at first only to the Jews, but God sent others (v. 20), who preached His grace to the Gentiles. Note also that the Antioch church was a living witness. ‘‘The hand of the Lord was with them”—little wonder then that “a great number believed and were turned to the Lord.” Your church—and mine— might learn much by studying the church at Antioch. II. A New Fellowship (w. 22-26). The genius of Christianity is fel lowship. Those who have a religious belief which makes them exclusive —not willing to fellowship with other Christians—do not truly represent their Lord. When the church at Jerusalem heard the good news, they sent Bar nabas to help the new converts and establish fellowship. He was the ideal man to send, for “ ‘he was a good man.* It is far more impor tant that a man be good than that he be brilliant if he is to edify young converts. He was ‘full of the Holy Ghost.’ He was also ‘full of faith,’ and no man that is not, need under take the work of instructing and developing young converts, especial ly converts from heathenism so dark as that in Antioch. He was free from the love of gold (4:36, 37). He was free from personal ambition and jealousy in his work (w. 25, 26). He was very sharp-eyed to see the sin cerity and promise of a young con vert (9:27). ‘When he was come, and had seen the grace of God, (he) was glad’ ” (John W. Bradbury). Into this new fellowship of life and service the gracious and generous Barnabas brought a new evangelist —Saul, God’s prepared man for this hour. But we have another new thing in our lesson, one of great impor tance. HI. A New Name (vv. 26-30). Christian, the beautiful name of those who follow Christ was first used at Antioch. It may have held a measure of contempt (see Acts 26:28; I Pet. 4:16), but it was a remarkably suitable name for those who had come out of paganism now to live, in their old surroundings, a new life, a separated life, the Christ life. This name “combines Jewish thought with Greek and Latin lan guage, and thus, like the inscription on the cross, bears witness to the universality of Christianity as a re ligion for the whole world. The idea of ‘Christ’ (Messiah) is Jewish; the substantive ‘Christ’ (Christos) is Greek, and the adjectival termina tion ‘ian’ (-ianusl is Latin . . . This new name was intended to in troduce and mark the difference be tween Jews and Gentiles on the one hand, and those who. whether Jews or Gentiles, were foilovrers of Jesus Christ . . . The term ‘Christian’ evidently points to the Person of Christ, and to those who are asso ciated with Him as His followers. It implies and involves union «md close association with Christ” (W. H. Grif fith Thomas). Those believers at Antioch not only bore the name, they practiced the life of Christ. Next Sunday we shall study their activity for Christ, for in that city began the great mis sionary movement which goes on to our day. In our lesson today we have another practical expression of their faith. They gave of their means, “every man according to his abilities,” to meet the need of their 'ew-found Jewish brethren in Judea Smartly-Styled Knitted Clothes Ideal for Town, Country Wear By CHERIE NICHOLAS I/' NITTED fashions may “steal the show” this season, according to reports from style headquarters. The enthusiastic demand for knit ted things has gone beyond what even the most optimistic dealers an ticipated. Not for many seasons has there been such a tremendous vogue for handknits and for machine knits that look like handknits. The wonders that are being per formed in simulating, through knit ted technique, tweeds and patterned woolens seem almost unbelievable until one sees the 1941 knitted ap parel. In modern displays one comes across such stunning machine-knit models as are pictured in the ac companying illustration. The town suit shown to the left is a tailor knit of navy wool combined with a nubby white yarn. The horizontal stripes are cleverly worked through the long-torso fitted jacket. The navy skirt of nubby wool knit is simple in line—a wonderful light machine-knit fabric that gives body for good tai loring. White gloves and shirt and bright red straw hat make it crisp looking for town. The casual dress to the right, a clever simulated handknit in crayon beige, is one of the reasons for the new enthusiasm for knitted clothes. Fashioned on simple line, its yoke, sleeves and skirt introduce interest ing texture in ribbed effect. The bodice is closely knit and it is trimmed with metal buttons and belt. Hound’s tooth check in sage green and white and tricot cord, both ma chine knitted of lightweight wool, make a wonderful casual suit for the country, as shown centered in the group. The softly tailored one- button jacket with deep re vers has narrow yellow zephyr knit piping as its only trimming. This is a woolknit that won’t sag or stretch, the perfect costume for casual coma- try wear. There is fine opportunity in the knitted realm to mix and match skirts and jackets. While most of the newer knit skirts have the pleat ed look there are also skirts with stylish gored flares. In jacket styles one finds endless variety. Wrist- length tailored jackets, often with small notched collars, novelty gold buttons and four patch pockets, are leaders. One very stylish jacket is the shorter-than-wrist-length type, with slight easy blousing above a belted waistline. Stripes are often favored in jackets worn with plain skirts. In dresses a popular choice is wool chenille that looks as if it is hand- knitted. Also a favorite is a collar less line plaid wool knit model with round neck, and buttons down to the waist. Jacket sweaters are very impor tant. They are interesting because of their novelty and variety. The cable stitch cardigan, which comes well down over the hips is a favorite type. Novel trims in endless variety add zest to the jacket mode. One of the interesting decorative touches is narrow fringe made of the yarn of which the jacket is knitted. Enthu siasm for things knitted is reflected in a revived vogue for swim suits that are fashioned most intriguingly, a favorite model being striped and styled along princess lines. Red and white is the most popular color com bination. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Underbrim Flowers ' .-j£-y-AviM*AvvCwX- Here’s how flowers are being worn on the underbrims of the new large summer hats. Those pictured are bright yellow. Milliners every where will tell you that there’s noth ing smarter than a touch of yellow on your chapeau. The biggest flow er news of all is that it is very smart to pin natural flowers on your hat. Lots of girls have put roses and even orchids, real ones, on their hats. The hat above is black felt, tied on with a black tulle bow. Fresh mimosa sprays are on the underbrim. The suit worn is black faille silk, with a snugly fitted jack et, over a Val lace and white batiste blouse. Nylon Dresses Nylon dresses are making their debut in the better-dress sections of leading stores. Daytime styles in clude afternoon types in navy with cape shoulders and finely pleated skirts. A model in black has an all-over shirred jacket. Evening styles, including dinner and more formal gowns, have crisp full skirts. Tissue-Like Crinkle Sheers To Predominate in Summer The major trend is “sheers for summer.” There is a sheer char acter about most of the new sum mer fabrics. Perhaps this trend is most notable in the new tissue-like crinkle sheers. These come in dark as well as light flowery prints and therefore are practical, being wash able and ever so good looking! Cloque organdies in delicately flowered prints, marquisettes, tissue voiles, processed so as to be non- wrinkable, are all on the first-in fashion fabric list. The topic-making conversation throughout style centers at the pres ent moment is black sheers for sum mer. Best-dressed women are voicing widespread favor for cos tumes done in black sheer. Per haps this is a natural reaction to the wild color extravaganza that has taken the world of fashion by storm. But whatever the reason, the fact remains that thin dresses and suits for summer are being given an earlier-than-usual promotion. Black sheers are referred to as “siren black,” “black magic.” Hats of black shirred net, some huge of brim, will be worn this sum mer. Milliners are also turning out handsome large hats made of ex quisite black lace. The vogue for black sheer is even extending to hosiery. Roses, Strawberries Vie For Popularity in Prints Roses and strawberries are con testants in the summer fashion picture. When you go “print” shop ping, keep your thoughts centered on roses and strawberries. It is an open question as to which is leading in the print mode. The rose theme appears in every conceivable form from tiny sweet- heart roses to huge American Beau ties. The same may be said of straw berries. The very newest prints play up the strawberry in realistio colors.
