If you are happy you can

Roller skates were invented
about 1760 by a Belgian musi-
can, Joseph Merlin.
The part of South America
known as Patagonia gets its
name from a Spanish word that
means big feet. The Indians who
lived there when the Spaniards
arrived were tall and wore large
boots stuffed with grass.
For a special treat no matter
what the weather, try this quick
and easy recipe:
CHOCOLATE DIPPED
SWEET CHERRIES
1 package (6 oz.) semi-sweet
chocolate chips
1-1/2 teaspoons butter or
shortening
Sweet Northwest
Cherries, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup chopped almonds,
if desired
Melt chocolate and butter
in top of double boiler over
simmering water. Remove
from heat. Wash and dry
fresh sweet cherries, stems
intact. Frozen sweet cherries
are ready for dipping—
straight from the bag. Hold-
ing fruit by the stem, dip
into chocolate. If desired,
dip bottoms into chopped
almonds. Place on foil to
harden.
Tip: Frozen pitted sweet
cherries can be dipped using
fondue forks. For best results,
do not allow frozen sweet
cherries to thaw completely.
An era can be said to end
when its basic illusions are
exhausted. —Arthur Miller
