Some of those chosen have been cheerleaders before. Joan Schulte was a Varsity Cheerleader in 1946 so this will be her second year as a
cheerleader. Katherine O’Rourke, Rosalie Saar and Janet Loris have all been Junior Varsity Cheerleaders. Betty Spencer has been a cheerleader now for four years. This will be her fifth year. She was a Junior Varsity Cheerleader for one year and a Varsity Cheerleader for three years. Dorothy McGinnis, before she came to East Hampton from Baldwin, L. I. was a cheerleader there. The rest of the Varsity has had no experience before this.

Ann O’Rourke, Bridget McNally and Lorraine Mansir have been cheerleaders now for one year. Marjorie McGuire has had two years experience prior to this year.
Miss Welker has high hopes for the cheerleaders this year and hopes that lots of school spirit shall be shown at the games to make it easier for them.
Mrs. Braem Says:While we shall have to lower our
standards of living so far as eating is concerned, we do have at our disposal, many excellent foods which are high in nutritional value. One such food for consideration is the humble peanut. Botanically, peanuts bear no relation to the true nut. They are a vegetable of the legume family scuh as beans, peas and lentils. It is said by some, that peanuts are natives of South America and were found by explorers in the ancient mummy graves of Peru, which indicates that they were highly esteemed. Some botanists think they were originally grown in Africa since they were an important article of food in that country as early as the 17th century. While grown to a limited extent in our country many years previous to 1866, since that year the industry has grown rapidly. Virginia and North Carolina produce the larger varieties namely, Virginia Runner and Jumbo.
The peanut is used in the shell, as salted nuts, peanut butter, peanut oil, peanut meal, peanut flour and pressed peanut cake for animal foods. Chemically, peanuts are an excellent source of vegetable protein; they give us also, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins (especially those of the B-complex) and the minerals, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, chlorine, sulphur and iron. The shelf life of peanuts and peanut products, is lengthened from five to ten times when stored at 36 degrees temperature, as com pared to storage at room temperature according to recent tests made at the Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station. Refrigeration, when properly used, will prevent oil separation in peanut butter and prevent insect infestation.
As to calorie value, 30 peanuts give us 340 calories; 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, 95 calories and % cup of peanut oil, 1070 calories. Peanuts are a very concentrated food, therefore, they should be eaten in

judicious quantity. We must remember too, that while all other true nuts are alkaline reacting in the body, peanuts and products therefrom are acid reacting therefore, they should be balanced by alkaline foods in the meal at the time they are eaten. Here are three simple recipes which can nourish the family well and still not strain the food budget.
First, may I suggest that you get from your hardware dealer a hand- crank grater. They are back now after an absence of several years, are inexpensive and really, afteryou ’ve used one, you ’ll wonder how you kept house so long without one. So easy for grating hard cheeses, nuts, cocoaput meat, etc. If yourdealer hasn't them in stock, tell him he w on ’t be losing if he does stock them.
Peanut Loaf: 2 cups of soft wholebread crumbs, 1 cup milk, 2 cupsgrated peanuts, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, Vz teaspoon paprika. Method: Soak bread crumbs in milk, add peanuts, slightly beaten eggs and seasonings. Turn into greased bread pan, set into pan of water and bake in 350 degree oven about 40 minutes or until set and beautifully brow ned. Serve with either plain tomato sauce or, tomato cheese sauce.
Peanut Macaroni and Cheese: 1cup broken macaroni, 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons fat, 2 quarts boiling salted water, 1 cup grated peanuts, V\ pound shaved cheese, 2 tablespoons brewers’ yeast, % teaspoon salt, Ys teaspoon paprika. Method: Cook macaroni in the boiling salted water; drain and save the water! Make cream sauce with fat, flour and milk (and remember, in this case, we do not have to cook sauce 20 minutes because we are going to bake our creation, so 5 to 7 minutes will be enough to cook cream sauce); incorporate into your cream sauce after removing from the fire, cheese, nuts and seasonings and blend thoroughly. Alternate in a well greased baking dish, the macaroni and sauce mixture, sprinkle 'top with crushed Wheaties, dot with butter and bake in a 300 degree oven until browned to suit you.
Peanut Chops: 6 half-inch cut slices of whole wheat bread, 1 cup peanut butter, % cup of evaporated milk, 2 eggs, \*z teaspoon salt, Vs teaspoon paprika and crushed Wheaties. Method: Cut bread in lengthwisestrips, spread peanut butter on both sides of each strip. Add milk and seasonings to eggs and beat thoroughly. Dip bread strips into the mixture, remove and dip into crushed Wheaties. Put into a greased flat pan or on a greased baking sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven until golden brcwn.
This Week Outdoors
by Lorine Letcher Butlerauthor “ Birds Around the Year”
One is never surprised at any bird they may see in Tobay Beach Bird Sanctuary, formerly Jones Beach State Bird Sanctuary. In this sheltered place of sand dunes, mile-long fresh water pond, dense undergrowth and proximity to the seashore, birds of many varieties find the food and surroundings to their liking.
Innumerable shore birds arrive in late summer— the sandpipers, plovers, the turnstones or calico birds, dowitchers, knots, sometimes called the beach robins, and many others. They tarry in this pleasant place o ften until late in the Autumn, before resuming their migratory journey to the South. And among the profuse bayberries, poison ivy, beach grasses and other growth, the land birds live or stop for a visit on their journey to and from their breeding grounds. From the seashore the gulls, terns and other sea birds fly into the Sanctuary. This is birds’ territory and they seem to know it.
None of the bird visitors are in a hurry to leave this place of peace and plenty. Even the American egret, snow-white heron from the tropical part of the United States, often stays until frost sends him hurrying to his southern home. It is always a thrill to the sanctuary visitor to see the great white bird walking sedately on the edge of the pond, or stabbing at some prey in the water with his long yellow bill.
When the egrets first arrive at the sanctuary in late spring or early summer, they are still wearing the long soft plumes that is their breeding finery, though they may look a
bit travel-worn and draggled. These are soon shed and at this time the egret presents a neat tailored look; but when he arrives in Florida and the new nesting season is at hand, he will again be adorned with the handsome feathers. The snowy egret, a small and more vivacious relative of the American egret, is also an interesting visitor in the sanctuary. The more familiar great blue heron and black-crowned night heron, well known on Long Island, stalk about the grounds in heron dignity.
The marsh hawk, the harrier, flies low over the pond, leisurely and graceful. He seems unafraid of the human visitor and as he comes near he appears unusually large, with the identifying white patch above his tail clearly in view. His ground- sweeping presence bodes no good to the crickets now abundant in the grasses, and the tiny spring peepers frolicing over the low-bending stalks. Many are the spring peepers that will not shrill their song next Spring.
When the marsh hawk finishes his day’s work then the marsh owl, as (he short-eared owl is often called, takes up the hunt. Thus it would seem that the small creatures in the vicinity of the pond have no respite from danger. The short-eared owl too, seems little afraid of human visitors, even returning their intrusive interest. Quietly he takes a stand within a few feet of a group of people and solemnly looks them over. As they move, he moves, turning his head owl-fashion, to keep an eye on them. The absence of ear- tufts gives this round-headed owl with the bouncing manner of flight, its name.
More than 230 species of birds have been recorded in Tobay Beach Bird Sanctuary, so one very well need not be surprised at any strange bird he meets there.

that was always there when she took it off, which she attributed to the same cause. But as time went on she became ill. Nothing that any doctor could put a finger on, but a definite waning of vitality. Finally, when I threatened to take her back to England she told me about the necklace. “ I hadn’t wanted to because it was your wedding gift and I think it’s so lovely, but perhaps— ”
The perhaps was eloquent, “ Wedding gift or no wedding gift we’ ll take no chances. W e’ll get rid of it,” I said. She suggested that first we take it to a clairvoyant. We did and he held the lovely sparkling thing in his hands, knowing nothing of its history and said, “ I cannot tell you much of this except that it is very old, about eight hundred years old, and is Persian. It is also a most unlucky piece. Its original owner was strangled.” •
We sold the necklace that very day. From that moment on my wife has been in perfect health.”
That is the story of the Persian Necklace. I wish I had space for the tale of the House and the Two
Ghosts, but that will come another column.
If you want to continue in the mood this one evokes, read a Scribner publication, “ Witchcraft in England” by Christina Hole. The very cover is shivery enough to be cooling on a hot night, and all the other illustrations by John Farleigh are equally chilling. The text is both informative and slightly blood-curdling. The book is filled with various cases, some of them intriguing enough to be made into books in their own right. The chapter on Witchcraft in High Places is highly diverting historically interesting and especially fascinating. It is a finely written book, and gives much light to a subject that always has a strange appeal.
Have pride in your community— don’t throw rubbish on the roadside.
