Mrs. Nixon Rec
German Pepper nut Recipe
Mrs. T. T. Nixon is graciously
sharing with her frinds an old
German recipe for making pepper-
nuts which has been handed down
for generations in her family.
The recipe came to Mrs. Nixon
from her mother, the late Mrs.
J. F. Janicke, whose own mother
had brought the recipe with her
from Germany, and there is no
way of knowing just how many
generations of the family has pass-
ed the recipe down the line.
“Christmas would not be Christ-
mas at our house without pepper-
nuts”, said Mrs. Nixon in telling
of the old custom in her family
of serving peppernuts Christmas
Day.
Mrs. Nixon has made a few minor
changes in the recipe to meet her
particular needs, but she says that
she finds that the changes have
not altered the quality or taste
of the peppernuts to any appreci-
able degre.
Following is the recipe in its
true form as handed down to her
by her mother.
A scant cup of sugar; three
unbeaten eggs; one cup of sweet
cream; one cup of milk; one table-
spoonful of butter; three teaspoons-
ful of baking powder; one-half teas-
poonful of salt; two teaspoonfuls
of either black or white pepper;
and flour enough to make a soft
dough. Roll the dough to a little
less than an inch in thickness
and cut into inch-wide strips, and
then cut the strips into short
lengths and bake.
The changes made by Mrs. Nixon
ar as follows: Substitute a cup
Of Crisco for the sweet cream and
leave out the butter, and a cup of
Pet milk can be used instead of
the cup of milk listed in .the recipe.
Mrs. Nixon’s peppernuts never
fail to bring forth words of praise
and a request for the recipe. This
year, as in her custom, Mrs. Nixon
passed along packages of her pep-
pernuts as holiday rememberances
to some Of her friends, and she
agreed to have the recipe printed
Quiet1 Christmas
Unusual At
Bounds Home
Christmas Eve was ushered in
on a new note at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Bounds, with
the couple spending the evening
alone in their home where an un-
canny quiet had replaced the mer-
riment and laughter of other Christ-
mas Eves.
For the first time since their
first child was born Mr. and Mrs.
Bounds spent Christmas Eve alone.
'Through the years “The Night Be-
fore Christmas” was a big event
in the Bounds’ home, with the
majority of the family always on
hand to help make the evening
a merry one. First their own chil-
dren welcomed the visit of St. Nick.
Then came the grand children to
add a new meaning to Christmas
Eve festivities in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Bounds.
This year for the first time the
children, grandchildren and great-
grand children made early visits
to Mr. and Mrs. Bounds and then
spent Christmas elsewhere. Recent
visitors in ;the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Bounds were their daughters
Mrs. Velma Little of Corpus Chris-
ti, Mrs. Bill Cox of Orange; their
son and -daughter-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Bounds of kcos; l“e
fallowing grandchildren, Miss Mar-
ilyn Bounds of Pecos, Mrs. Wal-
ter Muller of Austin, and Misses
Aaell and J >an Cox of Orange;
and the greai-gr'ioT’aughters, Les-
lie and Randa, twin daughters of
Mrs. Muller.
Mrs. Rhea Quinn, the youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bounds
lives in Odem with her family.
They spent the holt lays in Bee-
ville with Mr. Quinn’s parents.
Christmas Day Mr. an-d Mrs.
Bounds drove over to Corpus Ghris-
ti and ate out. They had as their
guest their daughter, Mrs. Little,
who with her parents visited Mrs.
Bounds’ sister, Mrs. Minnie Soren-
son in .the afternoon.
On their way home they stopped
at the home of their niece, Mrs.
A. C. Bickham for a visit with
that branch of the family.
VWe had a nice enough Christ-
mas, but it was a bit strange to
have just the cat, the dog and the
bird with us on Christmas Eve”,
the couple said. *
Watch Service
A watch service will be held
at First Methodist Church Wednes-
day night, Dec. 31, beginning at
10 p.m. and continuing through the
nidnight hour.
The public is cordially invited
attend the service.
so that her friends may institute
a custom of their own in serving
peppernuts in their homes at
Yule tide.
“Old customs and old recipes
are dying out all too fast and I
shall certainly appreciate the re-
cipe Mrs. Nixon is so graciously
sharing with us”, said one lady
when it was found .that the recipe
was to be carried in the paper.
Mrs. Nixon points out that the
older the peppernut is the more
peppery the taste becomes —they
seem to grow hotter as they age.
Clip (the recipe and paste it in
your cookbook of Christmas cook-
ies and breads so that it will be
handy when you start your 1959
Christmas baking.
College Students
Conduct Services
For Methodists
A group of college students home
for the holidays was in charge of
the morning service of First Meth-
odist Church with Richard What-
ley, A&I student in charge of the
program.
The service was opened with the
congregation singing “Jesus Calls
Us”. Richard Whatley led in the
affirmation faith and D. D. Scull
offered the opening prayer. Miss
Janet Tewes, junior at Southwes-
tern University gave the Scripture
reading after which Miss Susan
Whitten, A&I senior student, gave
recognition to the college students
and listed the colleges these stu-
dents attend.
Miss Ruby Lee Pyle, junior ^stu-
dent at Southwestern spoke on ‘The
Relationship of the Church to
the Church College”. Miss Pat
Voss, Trinity University student
used as her topic “How Wesley
Foundation Helps Students”.
Mrs. Jim Pressly, who is the
former Jamye Whatley and a gra-
duate of Southwestern University,
sang a solo between the talks giv-
en by Misses Pyle and Voss.
“Saviour, Like A Shepherd Lead
Us” was used as the closing song,
and during this period came the
climax to the inspirational service
when a teenage boy, who has lived
in the community for several mon-
ths, but had never moved his
membership to the First Methodist
Church, walked down the aisle to
ask membership ‘in a church where
young people are doing so much
and striving to go so far in the
Lord’s work”.
Miss Carolyn Weatherly, TCU
student, was at the piano to play
the .accompaniment for the con-
gregational singing and the soloist
and the special piano numbers.
There are nine college students
this school term whose early train-
ing in church attendance and Sun-
day School and MYF work were
received in First Methodist Church.

As New Year Activities Take Over
Challenge Class
To Pay Tuition
For Korean Student
The Challenge Class of First
Methodist Church Sunday School
is using for its project the pay-
ment of the tuition for a minis-
terial student in a Korean semin-
ary.
The class became interested in
the project through literature re-
ceived from a Methodist mission-
ary in Korea. The class exchang-
ed letters with the young Korean,
who seems to be deeply dedicated
to the religious work in his coun-
try.
The tuition was paid in two se-
parate payments, with the last pay-
ment going forth to the seminary
in which the young student is en-
rolled this month.
Mrs. C. O. Boatman was teacher
of the class at the time the pro-
ject was decided upon and it was
.irough her reading literature sent
to the church that the class came
upon such a worthy project.
A member of the Challenge Class
who desires that her name be not
mentioned has sent .$50 to a Wesley
Religious Kindergarten in Korea.
The money will enable 35 Korean
children to attend the kindergarten
for one year.
The Challenge Class is using a
new system in “Shared Teaching”.
Instead of the class having one
teacher who does all of the teach-
ing, four teachers are used with
each teacher taking one Sunday
per month. From all reports the
new system is working smoothly
thus far.
Mrs. Ruth Smith
Talks To Daughter
5n Amsterdam
Mrs. Ruth Smith and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. B. Joode could not visit
each other this Yule season, but
they did the next best thing and
talked over tranatlantic telephone.
Mrs. Joode is married to a Dutch
Navy officer and makes her home
in Amsterdam, Holland. It has
been four years since she has seen
any member of her family. She
talked with her mother and mem-
bers of her brother’s family, Mr.
and Mrs. Horace Smith and chil-
dren.
The family laughingly say “Pau-
line has such a Dutch brogue”
that it was difficult to understand
her although the connection was
good”.
Mrs. Joode, though married to
a Dutch Navy officer, has retained
her American citizenship and she
hopes to some day come home
to America after her husband has
completed his enlistment in the
Dutch Navy.
Mrs. Joode writes of the interest-
ing Christmas customs in Holland,
telling that Dec. 5 is Christmas
Day for the Dutch and that Santa
(Kris Kringle) comes riding on a
pony instead of using a sleigh and
reindeer to take him over the coun-
try to visit good little boys and
girls.
Mrs. Joode likes the people in
Holland. Their frindliness is one
of their traits she likes best. She
likes Holland best in tulip time
when the entire little country looks
like “a sea of blossoms.”
Mrs. Joode is the former Pauline
Smith who was born here and grew
to adulthood here.

heart attack while preparing to
visit relatives in Louisiana and was

Austin, where she lived until her
death Dec. 26.
Mrs. Turner was a life-long mem-
ber of the Methodist Church and

time of her death she was a mem-
ber of Tarrytown Methodist Church
in Austin and her pastor, the Rev.
Sam Fore, came here to conduct
the funeral services at First Meth-
odist Church Sunday afternoon.
A service was held at Tarrytown
Methodist Church and the service
at First Methodist Church in Odem
was brief, but most impressive,
with her pastor paying tribute to
her Christian life.
The Rev. C. O. Boatman, pastor
of First Methodist Church, assisted
with the funeral services and Mrs.

play a number of hymns and gos-
pel songs which were favorites of

ton, D. A. Barber, of Kingsville;
