REBUILDING PICKWICK PASTRIES — Pickwick Pastries, the bakery-restaurant in Wawasee Village, which burned in the early morning hours of a wet November day. is being rebuilt. Early this week workmen of the Tri-County Construction Co. of Sidney were rebuilding the roof, as can be seen in this photo. Kris Dierks of Sidney, one of the workmen, said it would be several months before the place of business could re-open. Other workmen are Clyde Hollars and Rick Cokl, both of the Sidney area. The business and building are owned by Diane Jarboe of Syracuse, formerly of Pierceton.

Seedy mix If the birds around your house look hungry, try offering them this inexpensive birdseed: Mix dried seeds from melons, pumpkins or squash together. Good egg To pick out the best eggs in the bunch, remember this: Fresh eggs are rough and chalky in appearance, while old eggs are smooth and shiny.

TODAY’S QUESTION: What do you think of the Challenger’s flight? Results of last week’s question: What do you think of the Lifeline. HELP programs? I've never heard of anything like that but it sounds like a good idea... I suppose if I was an elderly person shut in I'd feel secure knowing that was available... I think it's one of the miracles of today's lifestyle... I’d hate for any of my people to be laying somewhere needing help and if they had that they could just push the button ... I'm not quite old enough for it but I certainly hope it's still around when lam... Well, for us it don't matter cause we have three people in the house ... It certainly sounds like a good program but I've never talked to anybody who's used it... I suppose the program is alright... A good idea. There's a lot of elderly people who don’t have a family around ... 1 think it's the perfect idea for those who aren't sick enough to be in a resthome and aren't well enough to be at home alone... That seems like a wonderful idea.

Chances are very good that you know someone who was victimized by crime last year. In all, one in three Americans were victimized last year, with about 22,000 — the equivalent of the entire population of Starke County — losing their lives. Direct financial losses resulting from crime may reach as high as $lO billion this year, more than is spent by the federal government for community development. Every hour, at least two people are murdered, 134 are robbed and 194 assaulted, 778 homes are burglarized and 18 women are raped. Fifty to 60 per cent of property crimes are drug related. According to a recent study, 53 per cent of our citizens say they are afraid to walk the streets alone at night, while 85 per cent say they are more concerned about crime today than they were five years ago. In response to this need for action, Congressman Hamilton Fish, on behalf of the Reagan administration, introduced on March 16 the bill HR 2151, the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1983. “The legislative proposal that I am transmitting today provides a thorough and comprehensive reform of those aspects of federal criminal law that have proven to be the largest obstacles in our fight against crime,” President Reagan said upon introduction of the bill. Six critical reforms are proposed: 1. Bail — The bill would make it much more difficult for a defendent who could be a threat to the community to be released on bail pending trial. 2. Sentencing — The bill would change the sentencing system to ensure that sentences would be determinate and consistent throughout the federal system, with no parole possible. 3. Exclusionary rule — Under the bill, evidence in a criminal case that may have been improperly seized, which is now excluded from evicence, would be admissable upon showing that the officer making the seizure acted in reasonable good faith. 4. Criminal forfeitures — The ability of federal prosecutors to confiscate the assets and profits

of criminal enterprises would be strengthened. 5. Insanity defense — The current federal insanity defense would be replaced with a narrower defense applicable only to a person who is unable to appreciate the nature of wrongfulness of his acts. 6. Narcotics enforcement — Penalties for trafficking in drugs would be substantially increased and the regulatory authority of the Drug Enforcement Administration strengthened with respect to the diversion of legitimate drugs into illegal channels. Other provisions of the bill deal with labor racketeering, capital punishment, consumer product tampering, and extradition, only to name a few. Many of the actions taken during the past two years have helped curb crime. The Reagan administration established 12 interagency task forces in key areas of the country to work with state and local law enforcement officials to shut down organized criminal enterprises. A National Center for State and Local Law Enforcement Training to assist and train state and local officials in combatting syndicated crime was established. The FBI is now used in many drug cases in an effort to bring the full resources of the United States government on the critical problem of crime. Some of these efforts have proven successful. During 1982. federal cocaine seizures totaled nearly 12,500 poounds — nearly three times the amount obtained in 1981. Heroin seizures almost doubled, and seizures of marijuana increased by 50 per cent. While these adminstration efforts are important, it is now up to the Congress to make muchneeded changes in our laws concerning bail, sentencing and other provisions outlined above. The failure of the 97th Congress to approve major crime reform legislation was a disappointment, one that I hope we do not repeat in the 98th Congress. If you have any questions, please write to: Congressman John Hiler, House of Representatives, Washington. D.C., 20515.

Letter to the editor Perplexed Dear Editor: The March 30 publication of the Mail-Journal has left me quite perplexed. The news item, “Youthful Driver Flees Police.” receives a headline lead with a three column article, while the account of a local school teacher who has resigned due to a child molesting incident is barely noted. I am sure you have your reasons for this, and I would be receptive to hearing them Sincerely, Dean L. Cousins 1983 boating season The 1983 boating season will soon be here and Jim Ridenour, director of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) urges all boaters to prepare properly. Ridenour suggests that motorboat registration should be checked to ensure that they have not expired. Motorboats used on public waters must be registered with the DNR Division of Law Enforcement every three years. Registrations expire the last day of the expiration month indicated on the registration certificate. People purchasing a boat for the first time or renewing an expired registration will find some different procedures. State law now requires that expiration decals be displayed on the boat along with registration numbers. More importantly, the DNR cannot process any registration application without proof that the owner owes no delinquent property taxes. This is the third year expiration decals have been issued with the registration certificate and operator’s identification. The decals, applied to both sides of the bow immediately to the right of the numbers, identify properly registered boats. If original decals are lost or destroyed, duplicates may be purchased. Applications for motorboat registration are available at most boat dealers, marinas, county treasurers or from the Division of Law Enforcement, 606 State Office Building, Indianapolis, Ind. 46204. The application must be completed as accurately as possible. Please print or type owner information and boat description. On the reverse side, a section is provided for tax clearance statements. If the boat has just been purchased, the owner must sign and date the tax clearance certification and attach a copy of the dated receipt or bill of sale. For renewals, the owner must present the application to the appropriate county treasurer for property tax clearance. The application and check or money order may then be mailed to the Division of Law Enforcement. For more information on motorboat registration or Indiana boating laws, contact the Division of Law Enforcement, (317-232-4010).

Sharing recipes from 1902

By LINDA MUSSELMAN This week and several weeks to come I will be sharing some recipes and interesting health tips taken from a cook book “The Great 20th Century Cook Book” dated 1902 which belonged to my grandmother. I would welcome any comments from senior citizens who can remember any of these. To clean calf ’s head and feet — Drop the head and feet into a tub of scalding, not boiling water, with a little lye or salsoda in it to loosen the hair. Stir them about and then scrape with a sharp knife. This method is far better than to remove the gelatinous skin. The hoofs may be heated in the coals and pryed off. Entree of calf’s head — Cut the best part of the head that is left from soup making into oblong pieces, season with pepper cabbage, all cut fine, and 1 tablespoonful of rice. Boil one hour longer, and put in 4 mediumsized potatoes, which, as soon as soft, must be taken out, mashed, and beated light with milk, add a little salt and flour to stiffen, drop into the soup in small portions. Cook slowly half an hour and serve. Chicken soup — Truss the fowls that they may be presentable at table. When partly done add 4 teacup of rice. Thicken slightly, according to the amount of liquor, with 1 or 2 teaspoons of flour, rubbed smooth in a teacup of milk. Season with salt, pepper and parsley or celery; add slice of bread just before the soup is served. If too rich, skim before adding the compound. Serve the chicken (which may or may not have been stuffed before boiling) with a gravy made from the soup and thickened slightly with flour, to which the chopped giblets may be added. Green Corn Soup — Cut the kernels from 12 large ears of green corn, and just cover them in a stew-pan with boiling water. Boil half an hour, add a quart of milk, pepper and salt to taste. Beat three eggs very light. When the soup just comes to the boiling point again, stir in the eggs and serve quickly. Tomato Soup (with milk) — 2 large cups of tomatoes chopped fine, boil in 1 quart of water for twenty minutes, add a bit of soda as large as a pea, stir, turn in 1 pint of sweet milk, season with salt and pepper, also a good sized piece of butter Thicken with three Bostom crackers rolled fine, let boil and serve. Coffee Jelly —1 quart of strong coffee sweetened to please the taste, 4 box of Cox’s gelatine dissolved in water enough to cover. Stir this into boiling hot coffee and when dissolved, string through a flannel cloth of jellybag and put in a mold; do not press the bag, set in a wet mold to form. When ready to serve, turn out on a flat dish and serve with whipped cream heaped about the base. Serve with fancy cakes or sliced cake. The whipped cream may be omitted. Cow’s heel jelly — Boil 2 cowheels in 1 gallon of water until the bones come out readily. Let cool and remove the fat carefully. Take the juice of 3 lemons and turn into the jelly, add loaf sugar to the taste and put in a stick or so of cinnamon, add 3 well-beaten eggs. Let it boil and cool. Repeat the boiling and cooling three times, then strain and mold for use. Rennent custard — Take a piece of rennet 14 inches long or a dessert-spoonful of the spirits in which rennet has been kept, for 1 quart of milk. Flavor with vanilla, lemon or almond and sweeten with 1 tablespoonful of sugar. Cover and set in a warm place near the fire. If in an hour’s time there are no signs of thickening add more rennet. When it is firm like blanc-mange, and before the curd separates from the whey, remove the rennet, unless the liquid form has been used, and set the custard in

This year with over 100 changes in the tax laws and forms, you have more chances of making a mistake. And that could mean an IRS audit. If H&R Block prepares your taxes and you're audited, we go with you at no added cost. Not as your legal representative, but to explain how your taxes were prepared. If we make a mistake and you owe additional tax. you pay only the tax. We pay the penalty and interest. H&R BLOCK The new tax laws. i ■ This year’s number one reason to go to HH Block. SR 13 S.

a cool place or on ice until it is served. Powdered sugar or cream should be sent up with the custard. Home-made rennet is the best for use. Procure a calf's stomach from the meat-market, having it first thoroughly scoured inside and out with salt. Tack it upon a frame and dry in the sun a day or two. Cut in squares, put in a bottle and cover with alcohol or pack in salt, in which case the rennet when used must first be soaked half an hour in water and washed well. Tie the square of rennet to a string for convenience in removing from the curd. The dried rennet may sometimes be bought at the druggists. Rennet custard is an economical, delightful and easily prepared dish Walnut catsup — Procure the green walnuts by the last of June: prick thoroughly and cover in a jar with strong salt and water for a week or ten days, stirring often. Bruise to a pulp and turn boiling vinegar over them. Let them remain covered with vinegar several days, stirring up each day. Then put through a colander into a kettle, add a cupful of fresh vinegar and season highly in the proportion of 2 tablespoonfuls of pepper, 1 of nutmeg, 1 of allspice, 1 of cloves, together with a dash of Cayenne, to each quart of catsup. Boil one hour. Bottle and cork when cold. Next week — appliances necessary in case of accidents or sudden illness. Martha Circle* has breakfast The Martha Circle was one of the three groups of Calvary United Methodist Women who met recently at the church in Syracuse. Erma Byland and Lillian Disher served breakfast to 13 members of the Martha Circle as they arrived at the church and Kathleen Naegle took the group on a tour of “God’s Creation,” as she showed slides of nature. There were 14 members present for the March meeting of the Lois Circle at the home of Mildred Nicolai, with Izel Beck as co-hostess. Milly Shively opened the meeting with the poem “Surprised.” Katie Wilkinson gave the lesson as she read a story about spring and from a sermonette by Rev. Don Jennings. Prayer was asked for the members of the church who are sick. Shirley Bobeck gave a lesson, “Beneath the Cross,” to the Ruth Circle. The meaningful lesson described the last hours of Christ on the Cross, the setting and significance of the seven words spoken on the cross and their impact on our lives today. There were 12 members and one guest present. Marge Hollar and Karel Hollingsworth were hostesses. Stain-out Grass stains can be removed from clothng by pouring a little Karo syrup on the stain. Rub the fabric gently, toss it into the washing machine, and the grass stain should wash away. Stubborn jello If you’ve got stubborn jello that won't come out of its cozy mold, soak a towel in hot water, wring it out. and wrap it around the mold for about fifteen seconds. Then with both hands, plop the jello out with a quick downward snap of the wrists. Keep it cool If you’re going on a picnic and plan to eat watermelon, as soon as you take it form the refrigerator, wrap it in burlap or dry newspaper. This will keep it cool until its ready to eat.
