T eacher-Appreciation
Week March4 -9
March 4-9 has been set aside as
Teacher-Appreciation Week by
proclamation of Governor Price
Daniel for the Texas Congress of
Parents and Teachers. The week
was first observed in October,
1955, but for the past two years
the dates have been set to coin-
cide with Texas Public Schools
Week.
The complete text of the offi-
cial designation follows:
“Three great institutions of
American life—the church, -the
home, and the public school—ex-
ert powerful influences upon our
youth in preparing them for use-
ful citizenship.
“The public school teachers of
Texas have great responsibility
that cannot be valued merely by
statistics or by dollars and cents.
In doing their job well, our teach-
ers must work long hours, keep
constantly abreast of new devel-
opments, and continue their own
studies in their chosen fields.
“Many problems face our
teachers, not the least of which
is the present shortage of teach-
ing personnel which has placed
an added burden upon those in
the profession. All citizens should
do their part in helping the public
school teachers fulfill their re-
sponsibilities, which grow so
rmv?h greater with everv pgssi-ug.
yea..
‘Therefore, I, as Governor of
Texas, do hereby designate March
4-9, 1957, as Teacher-Apprecia-
tion week in Texas and urge all
Texans to demonstrate their grat-
itude to our public school teach-
ers in every appropriate manner.”
Some Correspondence
Schools Are Phony
The people most likely to fall
Times do change! A few years ago no busy young homemaker,
would dream of taking time out from a busy morning for a little chit
chat with her neighbor over a cup of coffee. Now, however, a latej
morning kaffeeklatch with- a few hands of bridge thrown in is a!
growing custom in small toyms and cities. “Helps us relax,” sav these1
busy young homemakers. “Our husbands have their coffee breaks in1
the office. We like them too. Bridge? Well, once in a while if we have!
the time, it’s fun and it changes our routine.” j
These late morning breakfasts feature fruit, a quick hot bread,'
preferably something novel and home made, and lots of coffee. And
taking this cue, Crisco Kitchens developed a new recipe for a quick
bread, light in texture because of the vegetable shortening used, and
filled with cherries and spice. Try it hot. Try it cold. Try it with tea
and with coffee. It’s a winner.
Cherry Crumb Cake
(Makes one 9" x 6" x 8" loaf)
2 cups sifted enriched flour J/8 cup Crisco 1 egg
3 teaspoons baking powder 1</Z cup sugar 2/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Blend Crisco, sugar and egg until
fluffy. Stir in milk alternately with flour mixture; beat until smooth.
Filling i
1 #2 can pitted red sour eher- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
ries, water-packed 2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 2 tablespoons melted Crisco
Drain cherries well. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, flour and melted
Crisco until crumbly.
Spread half of batter in greased 1-1/2" deep 9" layer pan. Top with
half of cherries, then half of brown sugar mixture. Repeat. Bake in
400°F. oven 30 minutes, or until it tests done.
Easter Seal Sale
Helps Cripples
Euclid Hudson, Port Arthur
civic leader and president of the
Texas Society for Crippled Chil-
dren and Adults, will head the
1957 Easter Seal Appeal for Tex-
as, the society’s state headquar-
ters in Dallas announced this
week.
Calling attention to the many
crippling conditions still uncon-
auered, Hudson said in accepting
the state chairmanship that re-
search and rehabilitation „are the
only ways to defeat the cripplers.
“Research will eventually tell
us what the causes and methods
of preventing such conditions as
cerebral palsy, club foot, cleft lip
and palate, and will find better
ways to minimize the results of
burns, accidents and other crip-
plers,” he said, “but vast amounts
of study, funds and time will be
needed.
Discussing plans for the Easter
Seal appeal, Hudson said that the
society seeks a total of $300,000
the nation’s battle against Infla-
tion,” the chairman stated.

Motorists Do
Strange Things
“Motorists sometimes do
strange things," J. O. Musick,
general manager of the Texas
Safety' Association, commented
today, bu the most unexplainable
is the way they drive into trains."
Speaking in support of the
“Signs of Life” program now be-
ing conducted in Texas by the
Texas Safety Association and the
National Safety Council, Musick
said that in about one-third of
the grade crossing accidents, the
autos hit the locomotive or an-
other part of the train.
Noting the number of deaths
and injuries in railroad grade
crossing accidents each year, de-
spite the fact that more than 96
per cent of all highway-rail cross-
ings in the United States are
marked by some warning sign or
signal, Music urged motorists to
use caution in approaching grade
crossings,
He said railroads and traffic

HOME BY THE RANGE
Remember when every kitchen had
an article of furniture referred to
as the “wood box?” It was some-
times neatly covered with wall
paper! it had an insatiable appe-
tite for “kindling wood” and, it
seemed to you, always had to be
filled when you wanted to play
with the neighbowrhood kids. Re-
