Pie crustthat', light, flaky and
tender every time you make it!
Well, that's what they say, any
way; and although it's something
new, I know of several -including
myself --who have tried this method
with very satisfactory results.
1 t was developed by the house
economic staff of one of the huge
milling companies, and, at first
sight, seems rather revolutionary to
some of us "old hands" at the pie -
making game. Instead of cutting
in shortening, you use salad oil;
and you simply stir the four ingredi-'
eats together, then roll the crust
between two sheets of waxed paper.
There's no guess -work about it,
and I sincerely advise you to give
it at least a trial. So here are the
directions, quantities given being
enough for a double crust.
EASILY MADE PASTRY
2 cups sifted flour
1;4 teaspoons salt
Tee cup salad or cooking oil
T...4 cup cold whole milk
Method: Mix flour .and salt to-
gether. Then add the oil and milk
all at once. Be sure not to blend
oil and milk. Measure them in the
same cup, but do not stir them
together. Stir doegh lightly until
mixed. Round up dough end div-
ide into halves. Flatten each half
slightly. Place one half' between
two sheets of waxed paper (ap-
proximately 11 inches square).
Roll out gently until circle of dough
reaches edges of paper.
If hcetom paper begins to wrinkle
tern. rail on other side. Peel off
-op paper. If dough cracks or breaks
mend by pressing edges together,
cr by preening a scrap lightly over
the tear.
Lift paper a:ed pastry by top
corners: they will cling together.
Place. paper side up. in an S -inch
cr 9 -inch pan. Carefully peel off

A Christmas Prayer
lie .shall judge thy preppy svith righteousness, and thy poor
with judgment.
In his days shall the righteous flourish; and ab,md nce of
peace so ling as the mum endnreth.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents:

De shall spare the 1)00l' and needy, and. shall save the souls
of the needy.
His name shall endure fur ever: his name shall be continued
as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in hium : all nations
shall call hint blessed.
And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let. the whole
earth he filled with his glory:

hard to believe that in one part
of the earth it is regarded a:+
a deadly enemy .- one to be
fought with flame-throwers
and Other wartlike weapons, -
'1'he unusual battle front is
Australia where too many val-
uable trees each year have
been receiving the k!s of
,leach from the harmless look-
ing slu•ttb. Despite mistletoe's
popular reputation as the
Yuletide' promoter of romance,
it is a public -enemy parasite
in the woodlands, killing off
the trees that play it host.
Australian foresters 111 a v r
finally resorted to the flante-
1 hrower as a quick executioner
for the plant and are using
radia -active tracers to study
how the mistletoe saps the
water and mineral salts from
the trees, starving them to
death.
