Demonstration Club met last
Thursday in the home of Mrs. C.
E. McCain with Miss S. C. Klnsey,
Fisher county home demonstra-
tion agent, giving a demonstration
on making pineapple meringue
pies.
"In making meringue for pies,
have your eggs at room tempera-
ture," Miss Kinsey said. "The egg
whites will beat to greater volume
when not too coW "
She told the group that two table-
spoons of sugar for each egg white
was the correct portion and stated
that the whites should be beaten
until stiff but not dry and should
be spread over cooked filling, seal-
ing the edges.
In giving pointers for the pastry
she said that good pastry is tender,
flaky and golden brown around
the edges. The center should be
slightly less brown. Good pastry
has a rough, blistery surface rather
than a smooth, firm one, she said.

pineapple meringue pie and ice tea

YOUR telephone serves you in three important ways:
• It's a tireless messenger, at your service around the clock ... it runs your
errands . . . helps you get things done . . . keeps you in touch with busi-
ness affairs.
• It's good insurance in an emergency . . . when you need the doctor, the
police, or the fire department.
• It's a friendly companion . . . lets you chat with friends . . . plan parties
.. . helps with club work . . . and often makes shopping easier.

Do YOU want a telephone? Then here's IMPORTANT news:
New dial telephone equipment, capa-
ble of serving 900 additional telephones,
was added at the telephone central
office a short time ago. Sweetwater's
telephone system now has enough dial
equipment to serve everyone here who
wants a telephone.
But due to the shortage of materials,
caused by the war in Korea, we have not
yet been able to extend new lines into
some areas here, to connect new tele-
phones to the dial equipment at the
central office.
In many sections of the
city, however, we have vacant
lines, waiting to serve new
customers.
So if you'd like to have a telephone, but
have not yet applied for service, why not
come by the telephone business office, or
call us at 4801?
We'll be glad to see if we can serve you
at this time, or in the near future. Re-
member, service may be available in your
neighborhood now.
(Note — Those who have already applied
(or service have been told when we will be able
to serve them.)
Don't delay — see us to-
day. Your telephone may be
waiting for you!
