CHILDREN'S DELIGHT U you want your children and (heir friends to give you a rating of “super,'' then give just one par ty for children aloqe, and make that party a good, old-fashioned taf fy pull. Think back a moment and remember hovr, you looked forward to a taffy pull just as much as going to a circus. This party is exciting fun because the children have a chance to help in the making jq? refreshments. Yes, pulling taffy with their fingers all buttered, and watching the dark candy mixture get lighter and light er each time it's pulled. They'll like this too, because a taffy pull isn't a fussy party. When you send out the invitations, let the mothers know it's a taffy party so the children will be dressed accordingly. Unlike many foods which are iron sources, mdlasses when cooked does not lose its iron content. If possible use a candy thermom eter to test the candy so it will be cooked just right, neither too stiff nor too messy to handle. When the candy is cool enough, cut it just the right size for small hands. The piece should be large enough to work on, but not too large. When the piece is light tan and very stiff, pull into a long strip and cut. Molasses Taffy. 2 cups pure New Orleans molasses 1 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon vinegar % teaspoon vanilla, if desired Vt cup water t Cook the molasses, sugar and wa ter in a heavy kettle slowly until the mixture reaches 260 degrees or until a little of the mixture dropped in cold water becomes brittle. Stir a little during the latter part of the boiling to prevent burning; pour into a buttered pan. When cool enough to handle, cut in pieces and pull un til light and stiff. Butter the hands before pulling. Refreshments can be simple for a taffy party, for children will be so excited about the taffy, they won’t give their best at tention to elabo rate dishes. As sorted sand* wiches will fill the bill perfectly and a hot choco late milk drink will take care of their keen, lusty appetites. As des sert you might have simple cup cakes iced with pink and chocolate icing, fruit, and of course, the taffy. If you’d rather give them a hot dish in place of the sandwiches, here’s a simple but elegant one: Millionaire Gold. (Serves 8) 2 egg yolks % cup flour % teaspoon mustard 1% teaspoons salt life teaspoons paprika 3 cups milk % pound American cheese 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce LYNN SAYS: Stop food wastes. Not only is this a matter of thrift but also a vital step in conserving this coun try’s resources. It is estimated that tiny food wastes total up to a tremendous amount. Wise shopping will prevent buy ing unwanted and not usable food. The wise shopper should also recognize between good and poor grades, by reading labels and markings, and by watching the scales. Poor cooking causes much waste. Meat, for instance, shrinks when cooked at too high a tem perature. Vitamins and minerals are lost when cooked too long or when air is stirred into them while cooking. Use short meth ods for cooking whenever possi ble. THIS WEEK'S MENU •Chop Suey, Rice or Noodles Bean Sprouts Apricot-Cream Cheese Salad Bran Bread Orange Chiffon Pie Tea Coffee Milk •Recipe Given 1 pound mushrooms 4 tablespoons butter 8 slices buttered toast 16 slices crisp bacon Beat egg yolks, add flour, mus tard, salt and paprika. Mix well. Add % cup milk gradually and stii until smooth. Put mixture in dou ble boiler, add rest of milk, and cheese, cubed. Cook until thick, add Worcestershire sauce. Wash, slice, and saute mushrooms, slowly. Place mushrooms on toast and pom cheese mixture over them. Garnish with bacon. Although the taffy pull will be the main event of the party be sure -to have games planned to fill out the evening. Quiz games are popular and lists for these can be made up be forehand using questions on slogans famous personalities, historical events, Interesting facts, and rid dles as questions. Children will want some lively fun too, and for this you can have a sack race. The leaders of two lines of players are given two large pa per sacks. They place the sacks on their feet and at a signal run to the opposite goal and back, take off the sack and give it to the person next to them. The object is to see which line finishes first. • • • Speaking of children, are you hav ing a time with their school lunches? Variety is the big problem foz packing a complete meal in one small box ii hard to vary and does n’t have as many possibilities as tire table at home. Having at least one hot food helps loads, and put this in the thermos bottle. You can have cream soups, vegetable soups, then again hot milk drinks for variety. Sandwiches are a standby, but don't get into a rut with these. Don’t have soggy fillings. Wrap each one separately in wax paper. Favorite fillings include: Peanut butter and jelly Chopped meat mixed with may onnaise and relish* Chopped hard-cooked eggs with bacon Cheese and luncheon meats Vegetable salad sandwiches Flaked fish with celery, lettuce Chopped figs or dates, nuts, moistened with orange juice Color peps up the lunch box, so occasionally pack a salad in a pa per container. Use fresh fruits of ten, or canned ones also packed in small glass or paper containers. Cornstarch puddings are attractive and nourishing, and simple cookies wrapped in wax paper will bring cheers from any child. Economy is highlighted these days, but it needn’t be dull if you use attractively garnished platters. '•Chop Suey or Chow Mein. (Serves 6) % cup butter or shortening 2% cups cooked meat, cut in strips IVa cup onions, cut fine 1 teaspoon salt % teaspoon pepper 1 can bean sprouts, drained 2Va cups celery, cut fine 1 cup hot water For thickening and flavoring: % cup cold water 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 teaspoon sugar Melt butter, add onions, fry for l minutes.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 9 . Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. REPENTANCE AND FAITH LESSON TEXT—Luke 15:11-24. GOLDEN TEXT—Repent ye. and believe the gospel.—Mark 1:15. Sin with its devastating conse quences has its only remedy in the salvation which is in Christ Jesus. He died to set us free from the pen alty, the power, and ultimately the very presence of sin. However, His death, which was for all mankind, is effective only for those who in repentance and faith accept His re deeming grace and turning from their sin. I. Worldly Pleasure Brings Sor row (w. 11-16). Selfishness is at the heart of sin, which is essentially self-will over against God’s will. The younger son, who represents the sinner, wanted his own way. He suffered from 1. Restlessness Under Restraint (w. 11, 12). The father loved his son and sought his welfare by prop er parental control, but the boy wanted to be free to live as he pleased. God loves all men and seeks by loving and gracious re straint to lead them in ways of righteousness and peace. But they, while they want His blessings, are often eager to get away from His guiding hand. 2. A Request Resulting in Respon sibility (w. 12, 13). When the prodi gal asked for his inheritance he took upon himself full responsibility for its use. The man who refuses to have Christ rule over his life as sumes a grave and heavy burden which he is not able to bear. It is an awful thing to rule God out of one’s life, to attempt to steer a successful course through the stormy sea of life. Why do it? It will always result in loss and failure. 3. Riotous Living Leading to Re proach (w. 13-16). In the “far coun try” he found for a time what we call “fun,” but it led to bitter sor row. To the flesh there are “pleas ures of sin” (Heb. 11:25), but they are only “for a season”; that is, “very short lived—and they come high. ‘The devil is not such a fool as to go fishing without bait.* The pleasures of sin are the devil’s bait, and they always have a hook in them. If you bite at the devil’s bait you will soon have the devil’s hook in your gills and be in the bottom of the devil’s boat” (John W. Brad bury). The end of Satan’s “fun” road was a pigpen in a far country. That may not always be literally true (al though it happens often enough), but it is always true spiritually. Men and women are in a state of spir itual collapse and disgrace because they have rejected God’s way. But there is a way out. H. Godly Sorrow Brings Joy (w. 17-24). Paul tells us that “godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation” and thus differs from “the sorrow of the world” which “worketh death” (II Cor. 7:10). The prodigal fouxid his way back to the father’s house. First, there came to him I. Remembrance and Realization (w. 17-19). He began to think. II men and women could only be made to think we would have more re pentance, but Satan tries to keep them too busy to think. He remem bered what he had as a son in his father’s household. What memories will your boy have in his hour oi need? You are writing that record now. He “came to himself.” The man in sin is really unbalanced, subnor mal, not himself, spiritually insane. When he “came to” he knew that he was in the way of the perishing. Then came 2. Repentance and Return (w. 20, 21). To repent means to change your mind, to turn your life in an “about face” from sin to God. Re pentance calls for more than think ing or talking or praying. One must act. The young man “arose and came to his father.” That was his part, and then came the father’s part— i. Restoration and Rejoicing (w. 22-24). The son expected to return as a hired servant, but his fathez restored him to full family fellow ship. God is gracious, and the re pentant sinner finds himself clad in the spotless robe of Christ’s right eousness, wearing the ring of son- ship, with shoes on bis feet, so that he may go on the errands of his Father. X God’s plan of salvation brings no half-way redemption. There are no stepsons or distant relatives in His family. It is a full salvation which brings glorious fellowship in life and service. You who are still'eating the husks of this world, who are in the faz country tending swine, we invite you too to come to God and share in the rejoicing in the Father’s Aayse. - - - - -- » Life a Struggle Life is a struggle, iut not a tvar- fare; it is a day’s labor, but l%boi on God’s earth, ander the sun {add stars with other laborers, wherewi may think and sing and rejoice^ at we wqrk.—John Burroughs.

Name Address Lincoln 9 s Beard Result Of Little GirV s Suggestion A little girl from Westfield, N. Y., once wrote Abraham Lincoln a let ter as follows: “I am a little girl, eleven years old . . . have you any little girls about as large as I am ... If you will let your whiskers grow, you would look a great deal better- for your face is so thin ... I must not write any more answer this right off. Good bye. Grace Bedell.” A few months later, Lincoln let his beard grow. On one of his trips he passed through Westfield and immediately sent for Grace. He thrilled her by pointing to his beard and saying: “You see—I let those whiskers grow for you, Grace.” F ? ? ? ? ? ?
