Turn on Your Porch Light
To AM March of Dimes
Tomorrow night marching mothers will
be visiting every College Station home that
has a light burning on the porch. They will
be there to pick up your contribution for the
March of Dimes.
This year, more than ever, the March of
Dimes needs your help, because this year
America can hope for a victory against the
dread crippler, polio.
If enough funds become available, select
ed groups of children throughout the nation
will be innoculated with an experimental po
lio vaccine. If the vaccine is successful, we
will have won the fight to protect our child
ren against the disease.
Today every modern form of treatment
for infantile paralysis is made available to
many by the March of Dimes, but treatment
is not enough. Even with all the care doc
tors and therapists can give, there is still
the suffering and the long, slow recovery.
But with a polio preventative, which is
what this year’s March is hoping for, all the
suffering and all the crippling can be ended.
Tuesday night at a dance, generous res
idents contributed $342.22 to the polio fund.
This was the largest amount ever collected
during the five years these benefit dances
have been held.
We hope that tomorrow night the march
ing mothers will receive a record amount
from Mr. and Mrs. College Station.
At Employes Dinner Club
Faculty Rue Pinna lie Set
Members of the A&M College
Dinner club will go Parisienne “all
the way” for their second annual
liue Pinalle on March 11.
“Which means,” announced Dean
Walter H. Delaplane, chairman of
the dinner club committee, “that
all patrons will be expected to
come in costume.”
Cafe Rue Pinalle, which has per

School Centennial
To Be Launched
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 28 — A
statewide observance of the Texas
Public School Centennial will be
launched Sunday with a radip
broadcast which may set a record
for coverage on Texas radio sta
tions.
The Centennial kick-off broad
cast, Avritten and produced by Uni
versity of Texas Radio House, will
be carried by more than 75 Texas
radio stations,' including WTAW,
College Station. No other broad
cast ever produced in the state has
been carried on as many Texas sta
tions, according to Gale R. Adkins,
Radio House acting director’.
To spark local observances of
the 1954 Texas Public School Cen
tennial, the special half-hour broad
cast, “That All May Learn,” offers
a thumb-nail picture of Texas edu
cation for the past 300 years.
Presented under the auspices of
the Texas Association of School
Board and the Texas Education
Agency, the program is prepared
by the University of Texas Radio
House from a script by Marye D.
Benjamin and directed by Harvey
R. Herbst.
The sponsoring agencies recom
mend that the broadcast be used as
a part of local Centennial observ
ances throughout the state on Jan
uary 31, to serve as a springboard
from which special events with
emphasis »on local school history
can proceed.

as manager for Cafe Rue Pinalle.
He is being assisted by Miss Mar
garet Long, MSC program consul
tant.
Since the gay costumes of the
Avaiters at last year’s event contrib
uted so much to the Parisienne at
mosphere it AA T as decided to create
even more atmosphere this year by
asking all patrons to Avcar Erench
garb for the occasion.
“On the feminine side Ave shall
expect to see anything from a Dior
creation to a Can Can dancer,”
Stark said. “Escorts may show up
as artists, Apaches, gendarmes or
what-have-you. Anything goes so
long as it’s typically French. And
there aauII be prizes for the best
costumes.”
Announcement of this feature of
the 1954 Rue Pinalle is being made
early so that everyone Avill have
plenty of time to plan an appro
priate costume for the evening, he
added.
Dean Howard W. Barlow’s Braz
os Bottom Boogie Busters aauII
again furnish music for dancing
and there AA'ill be a fresh array of
all faculty talent oh hand for Hie
several floor shows during the eve
ning.
“It is still too early to announce
detailed plans,” Stark said, “but we
can promise that the 1954 Rue Pi
nalle aviII be even gayer and gid
dier than last year’s success.”

When Manning Smith had a grocery store in College
Hills, he me a proposition to furnish the Smiths with Cereal
Bread; he agreed to sell any surplus through the store—my
profit! I declined.
Cereal Bread
6 Large Nabisco Shredded
Wheat biscuits
2 Cups boiling water
2 Cups milk, scalded if raAV,
heated if pasteurized
2 Tablespoons bacon fat
ts Cup dark syrup
4 Teaspoons salt
1 Package granulated yeast
dissolved in Vi cup lukewarm
Avatcr
Crush biscuits with rolling pin. Put in large bowl, add boiling
water, sloAvly stirring until cereal absorbs water. Add mik sloAvly
stirring until smooth. Add syrup, shortening, and salt. Cool to luke
warm; add dissolved yeast, and mix in 6 to 8 cups of all purpose flour,
mixing until a very stiff dough rolls up in the bowl. Turn dough out
on large Avell floured board and knead until smooth and eastic. The
dough has a tendency to be sticky, so Avork in flour until dough ceases
to stick to the hands. Put in well-greased boAvl, cover AAdth damp
cloth, let rise until double in bulk, turn out on board, knead a few
minutes, let rise again until double in bulk. Knead doAvn, shape in
loaves. Will make 3 large loaves. Let rise until the the dent of a
finger pressed lightly on the loaf remains. Bake at 375° 35 minutes.
Cool loaves on racks and lightly grease crusts Avhile warm; Cool thor
oughly before cutting. After the dough rises once, it may be kept in
the refrigerator.
My favorite food platter for church suppers and other informal
occasions is egg salad, marinated shrimp, baked ham and tomato
Avedges. Either the shrimp or the ham may be omitted, but when A\’e
“splurge” Ave serve both.
