tr w Page 4 —- THE BATTALIQN Family Favorites Tuesday, June 22, 1954 -^r-s—* By Mrs. William B. Martin (Ed. Note—With today’s issue we begin a variation in our Family Favorites column; throughout the summer we plan to feature foods typical of foreign countries. To begin this series, we have as guest editor Mrs. Helen Martin, wife of Dr. William B. Martin, assistant professor of English at A&M. A native of Scotland, Mrs. Martin was born in Perth and grew up in Mussel burgh and Prestonpans, two towns near Edinburgh. While attend ing the University of Edinburgh, she met her husband, who was then doing graduate work there. Her tirst home in this country was Stephenviile, Texas, where Mr. Martin taught at Tarleton State College. After returning to Scotland for a year, they came to College Station in 1952 and have been here since then. Mrs. Martin says that she thoroughly enjoys life in America.) SHORTBREAD . This recipe was given to me by my mother: 2 cups flpur ^4 cup sugar 5 tablespoons butter Cream together the butter and sugar. Add flour, working with the hands to a smooth paste. Form in a flat cake about to 1 inch thick. (If it cracks when rolled, it must be worked more.) Pinch the edges of the cake between thumb and forefinger. Prick well. It is a good idea to slice the cake almost through before baking, as this makes it easier to break when done. Bake until a pale, golden brown (30-45 minutes) at 350 degrees. Do not remove shortbread from cookie sheet until it is crisp and cold. BRANDY SNAPS OR JUMBLES This makes a good snack. It is especially good with tea or coffee. 2 heaped tablespoons flour 4 teaspoons sugar 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons molasses Warm butter in a saucepan; then take the pan off the fire and stir in flour, molasses and sugar. Butter well a cookie sheet; put the mixture on in small spoonfuls, leaving plenty of room for spreading. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. Remove from sheet with a knife and curl the snaps on a small rolling pin or a suler. If desired, they may be filled with whipped cream. They must be rolled, more tightly for this. SCOTCH EGGS t Scotch eggs are good either cold with a salad or hot with gravy. 1 good tablespoon tomato ketchup 1 cup ground veal, ham or beef Parsley 1 tablespoon flour Salt and pepper % cup breadcrumbs Pinch of mixed herbs 4 shelled hard-boiled eggs Mix meat and breadcrumbs. Add herbs and parsley; season well with salt and pepper; moisten with ketchup. Dip the eggs in flour and coat with the meat mixture. Roll ill flour again and fry in boiling fat until a golden brown. Drain well. Serves 4. If eaten cold, the eggs look more attractive cut in half. CORNISH PASTY This is a good dish around which to center a meal. 1 recipe of pastry 1 large potato Salt and pepper % lb. lean steak 1 onion 1 beaten egg Peel and slice the potato. Shred the onion. Beat the steak well and out it into small pieces. Grease a shallow pie pan; line with pastry. Put in the pan a layer of potato slices, then a layer of meat and a sprinkling of onion. Repeat until all are used, seasoning well with salt and pepper. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg and cover with pastry, pinching the edges together. Prick well and bake at 425 degrees for about 40 minutes. Serves 4-6. DYERS'FUR STORAGE HATTERS 210 S. Main Bryan Pho. 2-1584 BUY, SET.I.. RENT OR TRADE.

Benson Orders Cut I In Wheat Planting WASHINGTON —09?)—Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson Monday ordered a further cutback of 13 per cent in wheat planting for the 1955 crop and called a grower referendum for July 23 to approve rigid marketing quotas to enforce planting goals. Benson also announced perhaps the strictest controls in the history of American farming to prevent the production of new crop sur pluses. The government now has about $6,$09,990,000 invested in far*h surpluses, mainly wheat, cot ton, eotn, an<£ dairy products. lTh£ wheat reduction comes on top of a 17 per cent decrease in this year’s wheat acreage. With the harvest of this year’s crop, the nation will have a two-year supply of this grain. Under this program, farmers will be required to comply with federal planting allotments for all crops for which allotments are made in order to be eligible for price support aid on any crop. Allotments are now planned for wheat> cotton,' major types of to- bacep, peanuts and sugar crops. In addition, farmers whose allot ments call for a total reductipn of more than ten acres in the allot ment crops will have to comply with a “tptal acreage allptment” for their farms in order to get price supports. The total acreage allotment will include all crop acreage allotments established for the farm and the 1953 acreages (or adjusted acre ages) of all other crops on the farm except hay, cover crops, green manure crops, pasture, idle crop land and summer fallow. Agreeing that these controls are perhaps the strictest in history, Benson told a news conference he “greatly regrets” the necessity of imposing them. “The Ipng-rahge interest of ag riculture and the national economy will best be served when we can have less—and not more—govern ment regulation and control. “Under present surplus condi tions, however, we have no im mediate choice,” he said. Benson said it will be necessaiy to use crop controls until supplies can be brought more nearly into market needs. He said flexible farm price supports advocated by the Eisenhower Administration to supplant present high rigid pi-ice floors would hasten the day of ad justment.

Then stay on voui plan and the rest will take care of itself. § Do you find it next to impossible to put away a penny? Well, so did the Nysse’s of Bristol, Pennsylvania—until they discovered Uncle Sam’s guaranteed-to-work Payroll Savings Plan. Bill and Rose Nysse have no more than the average American family income—but this wise couple saved $8,000 out of what they earned! No matter how many of your saving schemes have failed before, Payroll Savings will succeed for you! This is why: . All you have to do is go to your company’s pay office and sign the Plan application. You set the amount you want to save each payday—as little as a couple of dollars or as much as you wish. That amount is automatically saved out for you each time before you draw your check or envelope. When enough has accumulated, it is invested in a U. S. Series E Savings Bond, bearing your name, and the Bond is turned over to you. That’s all there is to it—except to watch those Bonds pile up and remind yourself that every one you hold to maturity earns you an average 3% interest a year. There’s only one time to start —now Right now 8,000,000 other working people are on the Payroll Savings road to peace of mind and financial freedom. It’s the road for you, too. 'To day—join the Payroll Savings Plan where you work. Or, if you’re self-employed join the Bond- A-Month Plan where you bank. It can be the smartest step you ever took!
