"Basic sweet dough, rolls, buns and
akos aie more economical and health-
for your family than ordnary sweet
cakes," said Mrs. W. O. Ross of
i ( acock, as she gave a demonstration
to club members in her home Thurs-
day evening on making and serving
basic sweet dough cooking. .She re-
quested each club member to cook
and bring one dish made from basic
sweet dough recipe to the club p c-
nic, which will be on Thursday eve-
11 ng June 3. This being guest day,
each member will invite a non-club
member to attend the picnic.
The club decided not to elect a del-
egate to send to the A & M short
course. Instead each club member
will if possible, attend the encamp-
ment at Lueders. After a short busi-
ness session, ice cream, pecan and
cinnamon rolls, and tea-ring-, were
seined to the following: Mrs. W. H.
Earl, Mrs. K. B. Lawrence, Mrs. I>
Eaton, Mrs. W. H. Wood, Mrs. Olaf
W!ll:ams, Mrs.Weaver Tarpley, Mrs.
Willie Smith, Mrs. Ed Davis, Miss
