If you had as many rich desserts as I did during the holidays,
you're probably ready to settle for some simpler, less expensive
ones now. So here are a few to give your palate-and your
purse-welcome change:


COFFEE QUICKIE
When two top favorites like coffee
and A&P's ANN PAGE SPARKLE
PUDDING MIXTURE get to-
gether, the result is a delicious
duet that'll have everybody singing
your praises. So
A\\t~/U il/ combine 1 cup
s -: strong coffee and
1 cup evaporated
W- milk, and add
4P, gradually to I pkg.
SPARKLE
PUDDING MIXTURE (vanilla
or chocolate) in saucepan, mixing
till smooth. Cook over low heat,
stirring constantly till thick. Re-
move from heat as soon as mixture
begins to boil. Pour into serving
dishes, and let stand till cool and
firm. Serve with milk. 4 servings.
TEMPTING TIME-SAVERS
When I want a light dessert that's
light work to prepare, I serve fruit
and cake. And of course I let
A&P's pastry chefs'bake the cake.
Thoir oven-fresh JANE PARKER
ANGEL FOOD RING and JANE
PARKER POUND CAKE aretops
for topping off a meal. Modestly

'Boy Scout Troop 47 met Monday
night at the Centennial Building, at
which time Scoutmaster Simpson
reported on the pine seedlings to
be. planted Saturday week.
Plans were made for Scoutt Week
and projects set up for each patrol
to make.
Last week Ted Childers,, the new
scout executive, met with the troop
and gave an interesting talk.
Last Saturday some of the scouts
went to the scout forest and cleared
ciff the land for the new planting.

WHEN WILL THEY JUMP?
The $64 political question at the
moment seems to center around
Little Joe He-ndricks of DeLanud,
yho hints he is. going to run for
something but won't say what, and
Lex Green, who has the itch but is
equally uninformative.

Classified Ads Pay!
Ross Hudson is now a strong be-
liever in Star classified ads. He
advertised some property for sale
in Oak Grove, paid to have the ad
run for a month. The Star came
out Friday and Ross came in Sat-
urday to take out his adl-he'd sold
the house and lot.

Remodels Cafe
Frenchy Guillroy has remodeled
his cafe andi now has 15 leather and
chromium stools at a. greatly-low-
ered counter, and customers with
short wheelbases can now partake
more comfortably of Frenchy's un-
surpassed Creole cooking.

Visiting In Miami
Mrs. Joe Grimsley left Wednes-
day of last week for Miami where
she. 'will visit for several weeks
with her daughter and husband,
Mr. and.Mrs. Francis Lewis. Could
be the stork may arrive while she
is the-re, making her a grandmother
'or the third time.

Trade at home is a good motto,
for all of us. and the best induce-
ment is. good. merchandise at com-
petitive prices.
