GIRL SCOUTS OBSERVE 40TH BIRTHDAY,
BROWNIES PREPARE FOR APRIL 'FLY-UP'
HAVE YOUR WRTCK
REPAIRED

WATCHE8 — BANDS
CAPITOL DRUG
More than a million Girl Scouts
in the United States today cele-
brated their fortieth birthday on
March 12. It was on March 12,
1910, that Juliette Low, the found-
er of the Girl Scout movement in
the United States, returned from
England and brought with her the
beginnings of Girl Scouting.
She had her first experience
with the Scouting movement in
Scotland where she had a troop of
Girl Guides as they are called in
England and Scotland. From this
small group of seven girls whom
she taught to raise poultry, spin,
and weave, has come the Girl Scout
program today which includes 11
program fields of agriculture, arts,
and crafts, community life, health
and safety, homemaking, interna-
tional friendship, literature and
dramatics, music and dancing, na-
ture, out-of-doors and sports and
games.
In addition to learning things of
interest about each of these fields,
Girl Scouts today learn to partici-
pate in these activities together
in a democratic way.
At the present time in Palacios
there is a troop of fourth grade
Brownies busy studying the Girl
Scout Laws and Promise and all
the other requirements necessary
to become Girl Scouts. The last of
April they will “fly-up” to the
Girl Scout level. There is also a
troop of fifth graders wl|o are
already Girl Scouts and busy work-
ing toward their second class
badge.
There are 53 second and third
grade giris wtio are anxious to
become Brownies. The only thing
holding them back is the lack of
adult leadership which they must
have in order to function as Brown-
ie Girl Scouts.
It is hoped that beginning in
September some interested moth-
ers and friends will volunteer to
organize these Brownie troops and
have a share in helping these little
girls learn to be good citizens.

OAK RIDGE, TENN.—.Cecil B.
Barker, graphite-uranium reactor
(pile) operator at Oak Ridge Na-
tional Laboratory, uses long tongs
to remove uranium slugs from a
bucket hoisted from a 20-foot-deep
pool of water after "spent" uranium
slugs are ejected from the pile. The
slugs are caught in a bucket at the
bottom of the pool, and because of
their extreme radioactivity, must be
handled under water. Oak Ridge
guard Roy Beeler is watching tne
operation.
The most attractive filling sta-
tion we know of is the dining room.

Masterpiece In Flavor,
The Ring Of Rice!
Delicious, steaming hot and
waiting to be eaten' with the
creamed filling of your choice-
the ring of rice! Truly a charming
way to serve leftovers and to
stretch more expensive foods. Feed
a crowd for less, but gain a repu-
tation for serving elegantly pre-
pared food by using the rice ring
often. Vary it in many ways to
achieve an entirely different dish.
And last but very important—
this is a dish which is truly easy
to fix. It can be an “ahead of time
affair” calling for only seconds of
attention at the last minute.
Ingredients
2 cups uncooked rice
4 cups cold water
2 teaspoons salt
1 can condensed cream of mush-
room soup
% cup milk
1 egg yolk
2 cups cooked chicken or turkey,
diced.
Preparing Rice
To make six heaping cups of
fluffy rice, put two cups of cold
cooked rice, four cups of cold
water, and two teaspoons of salt
in a two-quart saucepan and cover
with a tight-fitting lid. Bring to a
vigorous boil and then turn the
heat as low as posisble—leave over
this low heat for 14 minutes. Turn
off the heat. This cooking time
results in firm grains of cooked
rice. For extra tender grains, al-
low the rice to steam with heat
off—for an additional five minutes
before removing the lid.
Never remove lid nor stir rice
while it is cooikng. After rice has
cooked, remove lid, lift rice gently
with a fork to allow rice to steam
dry to the desired consistency. It
is then ready—perfectly cooked—
with all the grains separate and
fluffy. This method allows all the
water to be absorbed and the full
nutritional value of the rice to be
retained.
Method
Pack the uncooked rice into a
buttered 8-inch or 8%-inch mold.
Bring the rice well up to the edge
of the mold. Firmly press in the
rice. The ring may be unmolded
and served immediately. If thd
rice ring has been made the day
before or prior to serving time, it
must be reheated or kept hot until
the meal is to be served. This may
be done by covering the mold with
foil or waxed paper to prevent
the rice from becoming dry. Place
a string just under the edge of the
mold to hold the paper secure.
Put the ring in a pan of hot water
and leave in a slow oven or over a
low heat on top of the stove until
time to serve. No special timing is
necessary. However, the ring must
be left long enough for the rice
to be hot when served.
To unmold, run a knife around
the edge and center to loosen the
ring. Place a plate over the mold,
invert the plate and mold together.
Give the mold a shake and the
ring will be unmolded on the
plate. Should the ring break, mend
by pressing the hot rice together
with the hands. In serving, a good
trick is to place a small dish or
bowl in the center of the mold to
prevent the weight of the filling
from breaking the ring.
This recipe for a rice ring will
make 10 servings.
Fill the ring with creamed or
buttered vegetables; cheese sauce,
meat stew or such creamed foods
as shrimp, mushrooms, eggs, chick-
en, turkey, fish, dried beef, or ham.
Method For Filling
Empty the can of mushroom soup
into a saucepan. Add the milk. Beat
in the egg yolk, add the chicken
or turkey and heat, stirring con-
stantly. Serve in the rice ring.
Variations
(1) Add 14 cup melted butter
to the rice fiefore it is packed into
the mold. (2) Use chicken broth
or tomato juice instead of water
in cooking the rice. (3) One cup

56 YEARS AGO . . .
Modern chiropractic was founded upon the
re-discovery of the age-old principle that pressure
on nerves can cause disease and that removal of
that pressure can provide for the restoration of
health.
Since that time chiropractic has developed to
the place where millions of people throughout the
world depend upon it wholly or in part for their
health needs.
If you haven’t discovered chiropractic for your-
self why not discuss your health problems with a
chiropractor?
