4-H Club Starts Lending Library
The Marlow Cardinals 4-H Club saw a need in their community, and worked to find a solution. The club members wanted the youth in Bluford to have access to books during school breaks. They saw the lending library online, and felt like it would be a perfect solution. Members worked together to raise the money for the box and complete its construction. The club president approached the Bluford School Board for permission to place the Lending Library on the school grounds. Not only did they agree, they allowed staff to help install the library box. Club members, community members, and school staff have donated books to the lending libraries to their community in the library which was installed at the future. school in early September. The club Pictured are scenes from the day has a goal of adding more lending the Lending Library was installed at

Local bank receives statewide award
Kraig Lounsberry, president of the Community Bankers Association of Illinois (CBAI), and Gary Genenbacher, partner and industry leader for BKD National Financial Services Group’s Illinois office, announced that Community First Bank of the Heartland, Mt. Vernon, was awarded with an Honorable Mention for its entry: Mrs. Spann’s Backpack Bash. The award was presented at the CBAI 45th Annual Convention & Exposition held recently in Springfield. The bank teamed up with Central Christian Church to coordinate a backpack drive and solicit school supplies from the community, with the rest of the needed school supplies purchased by the bank. More than 600 underprivileged youth in the community received new bookbags filled with school supplies at a backpack bash
that included bounce houses, food, drinks and party favors, not only for the kids, but their families, friends and the community. “This event is always one of our favorite community events of the year” said Jo David Cummins, President and CEO of Community First Bank. “We get a chance to go out into the community we serve and use our resources to show love and unity to the children in our area, and we have a lot of fun doing it!” The maternal leader of her neighborhood, Linola Spann, had mixed emotions on the event, feeling both gratefulness and pride in her community and her bank. “I just can’t thank Community First Bank enough!” she remarked. “Dee and Dave were so kind and generous to work with, and Jo and Brandon on the grill made the whole

I still can’t believe this has turned into such a big deal for all these children and this community… the looks on their faces is all the thanks we will ever need!” The backpack drive at Central Christian Church started in June and continued until the event in August, with over 600 backpacks being delivered to
Mrs. Spann’s garage to be filled. “We are proud to have partnered with Mrs. Spann for the second year. It’s amazing to watch the community come together” remarked Jared LeCrone, Journey Pastor at Central Christian Church. “Our church stepped up with a big goal of 600 and we’re grateful to be a part of it.”

enforcement and can request supportive services from victim advocacy. The program helps close gaps in service delivery and promotes justice and healing. “As few as one in five sexual assault victims report the crime,” said Lisa Metcalf, Medical/Legal Advocate for SAFE. “To help victims recover and support their participation in the criminal justice process, we need to make it easier for them to reach out for help. Seek Then Speak links victims to the professionals who stand ready to serve them.” Seek Then Speak was developed to help end the silence for sexual assault victims. Victims and their support people connect to Seek Then Speak by web, phone, or mobile app. The program engages them with gradual, supportive dialogue prompts, using an intelligent communication platform. The process helps survivors better understand

what happened and explore their options, while remaining anonymous until they choose to make direct contact with law enforcement or victim advocates. “Through Seek Then Speak, survivors of sexual assault have a safe way to make sense of their experience and decide what their next steps will be,” Lisa said. “They learn they are not alone, and that help is available. Then they can reach out for that help if they choose, but only if and when they are ready.” Seek Then Speak works in partnership with an agency platform called Victim Link, which was codeveloped by Voice and End Violence Against Women International (EVAWI). Victim Link combines technology and education to improve community responses to sexual assault. The programs also coordinate with Start by Believing, the campaign that prepares friends and family members to respond
appropriately to a sexual assault disclosure. Together, they offer a two-part solution for responding to sexual assault victims. “When someone tells you they were sexually assaulted, the first step is to Start by Believing,” Lisa said. “The second is to Seek Then Speak, which connects victims to resources through Victim Link.” Seek Then Speak is available to anyone in the SAFE area by visiting www. SeekThenSpeak.org, calling 888-865-9863, or downloading the mobile app (Android and iOS). SAFE is a sexual assault center, serving Bond, Clay, C l i nton , E f f i ng ham , Fayette, Hamilton, Jefferson, Marion, Washington, Wayne and White Counties. This nonprofit agency provides services for sexual assault victims and their families regardless of their age, race, sex, or sexual preference. SAFE’s website is:www. safecrisiscenter.org

Down Memory Lane Art Studio It was a beautiful day in Mt. Vernon to go and visit a beautiful art studio known as Down Memory Lane. The owners and artists Ron and Rusty Watson graciously met me at the door and welcomed me into a very beautiful art studio. The Studio is located at 18357 E. IL Highway 15. As the interview began I was told that they both have a very strong art background. Rusty was a Kindergarten and art teacher and Ron had his own artistic abilities. After retirement they made their dream come true with the opening of the art studio. Rusty is an artist as well as an author. She earned a Fine Arts degree from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. She also earned Bachelors and Masters Degrees from the University of Southern Indiana and Southern
Illinois University. She has prepared herself well for both her artistic creations and her descriptive writings. Rusty has won the book of the month club at Cedarhurst twice. She has authored two books and is working on her third. Ron does not have an art degree but he credits God for his talent! Ron primarily focuses on acrylic oils in landscapes and still life as memories of the simpler days gone by. Their studio has been open for 16 years. They offer adult art classes on Thursday mornings from 10 a.m. until noon. They also give private lessons. They are open to the public with usually a core group of students. They noted that they do not have set hours so they can travel a lot and find inspiration for their next paintings. They are always open when they are at home. The typical painting day for them starts around 7:30
in the morning, with a short break for lunch and then it’s back to the studio to paint throughout mid afternoon. They have been at shows at Cedarhurst as well as at Rend Lake Art Fair. Both Ron and Rusty display their work and are active members of the Art Alliance of Southern Illinois with a group of seventeen artists. They

noted that they believe local is the best. With the many breath taking paintings displayed in the studio, they noted that they have painted all of them. Ron and Rusty are a part of the 2019 Art Tour which will be November 16 and 17. Saturday hours are 10-5 and Sunday is 1-5. If you would like to visit their studio you can contact them at 618-214-3438.

I’ll start this week’s column with a quote from one of the many emails, calls and letters I get weekly. However, trust not all are singing my praises. With that said, I’m the first one to say I respect everyone’s opinion. That’s just one of many things that makes our country great; we have a right to our own opinions. However, I couldn’t help but share this email. The reader wrote, “Looking forward to your upcoming column praising the unmatched wisdom and judgment of Donald Trump or will we just have more columns denigrating all members and leaders of the Democratic Party?” My answer to this gentleman is I haven’t seen many Democrats in recent years that were worth patting on t he b ack. My ot her comment is, kind sir, the Party no longer has a leader worth following. And trust, I have issues with some Republicans as well. Stepping it back, let’s just look at a few Democratic leaders and Democrats the Party holds in high esteem. Remember when Donna Brazil gave Hillary Clinton

the questions to be asked in a presidential debate? (She had the questions in advance as a moderator.) Bill Clinton, a well respected Democratic leader, just happened to meet with an attorney general while his wife was under investigation. Just one of his many indiscretions. Barack Obama, a sitting president, accused of wiretapping a presidential candidate of the opposing party in the primary. Then there’s James Comey, the former FBI Director (a closet Democrat), who handed out immunity to persons in a criminal investigation. And let’s not forget Adam Schiff. I’ll let that one stand on its own, as well as AOC, Pelosi and Schumer. I could go on and on, but let’s move on. Give me one leader the people can look up to, leading me to point out one Democrat I’ve been listening to, Tulsi Gabbard, and looking at the next Democratic debate which is Tuesday, October 15. It was reported by the National Review that Ms. Gabbard has threatened to and, is seriously consider-
ing boycotting that debate. In her words, “The DNC and cooperative media are trying to hijack the entire election process. They are attempting to replace the roles of voters in the early states using polling and other arbitrary methods which are not transparent or democratic, and holding so called debates which are not debates at all but rather commercialized reality television meant to entertain, not inform or enlighten.” The fact is Ms. Gabbard is correct! In my opinion, the first two of the three debates absolutely leaned toward Warren, Sanders and Harris, with many of the rest not getting equal time, especially Tulsi Gabbard. I especially like her stance against beating the war drums. So in recent weeks, she has been busy on grass roots efforts in early primary states, especially Iowa and New Hampshire. She said, “Many have expressed their frustration. They feel the DNC is trying to choose who will be the Democratic nominee.” Gabbard did qualify for the upcoming debate, but
missed out on the last one. In an August interview with Tucker Carlson she said, “Really what they (the voters) see is a small group of really powerful political elites in the establishment making decisions that serve their interests and maintaining their power while the rest of us are left outside. The American people are left behind.” I did find that Gabbard was the most searched candidate earlier this year after the first and second Democratic debates. I’m hoping she doesn’t pull out of the upcoming debate October 15. She needs to be there. On to “U.S.–China reach trade war pause.” President Donald Trump took a significant step forward to end the long running trade war with China, announcing a substantial “phase one trade deal” with the country last Friday, which will hopefully help the farming industry as well as others. Both sides announced an interim agreement that will help defuse trade tensions. All the specifics of the deal are still being worked out. However, Trump did say that deal includes China purchasing $50 billion worth of agricultural goods from American farmers, a big win for agriculture. The economies of both the U.S. and China have slowed since the tit for tat tariffs began 18 months ago. In the U.S., manufacturing and agriculture are two sectors notably cited in our slowdown. Both sectors rely heavily on trade. There are more meetings yet to come with China. Until next week. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

Red Ribbon Week is October 23 – 31, 2019 The Red Ribbon Campaign® is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation, reaching millions of young people during Red Ribbon Week®, October 23 – October 31 each year. Red Ribbon Week is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs. Show your personal commitment to a drug-free lifestyle through the symbol of the Red Ribbon, October 23 - 31st. The Red Ribbon Campaign® was started when drug traffickers in Mexico City murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena in 1985. This began the continuing tradition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance
towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign® is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG - FREE AMERICA. National Family Partnership is the sponsor of the National Red Ribbon Week® Celebration. NFP created the first National Red Ribbon Campaign in 1988 and continues to do so each year. A theme slogan, selected from submissions from students and families across the US, unifies each year’s campaign and helps to broadcast one message, creating a tipping point to change behavior. This year’s theme is “Send A Message. Stay Drug Free.”
Ways to talk with your child about alcohol and other drugs Conversations are one of the most powerful tools parents can use to connect with — and protect — their kids. But, when tackling some of life’s tougher topics, especially those about drugs and alcohol, just figuring out what to say can be a challenge. Here are some tips to remember: • Always keep conversations open and honest. • Come from a place of love, even when you’re having tough conversations. • Balance positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement. • Keep in mind that teachable moments come up all of the time — be mindful of natural places for the conversation to go in order to broach the topic of drugs and alcohol. Talk to your kids about the drug-related messages they receive through advertisements, the news media and entertainment sources. Ask your kids how they feel about the things they’ve heard — you’ll learn a great deal about what they’re thinking. Help children separate reality from fantasy. Watch TV and movies with them and ask lots of questions to reinforce the distinction between the two. Remember to include advertising in your discussions, as those messages are especially powerful. Keep your discussions about substances focused on the present — long-term consequences are sometimes too distant to have any meaning. Talk about the differences between the medicinal uses and illegal uses of drugs, and
how drugs can negatively impact the families and friends of people who use them. Set clear rules and explain the reasons for your rules. If you use tobacco or alcohol, be mindful of the message you are sending to your children. Make sure your child knows your rules — and that you’ll enforce the consequences if rules are broken. Research shows that kids are less likely to use tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs if their parents have established a pattern of setting clear rules and consequences for breaking those rules. Kids who are not regularly monitored by their parents are four times more likely to use drugs. Kids who don’t know what to say when someone offers them drugs are more likely to give in to peer pressure. Let her know that she can always use you as an excuse and say: “No, my mom [or dad, aunt, etc.] will kill me if I smoke a cigarette.” Work on problem solving: Help them find long-lasting solutions to homework trouble, a fight with a friend, or in dealing with a bully. Be sure to point out that quick fixes are not long-term solutions. Give your kids the power to escape from situations that make them feel bad. Make sure they know that they shouldn’t stay in a place that makes them feel uncomfortable or bad about themselves. Also let them know that they don’t need to stick with friends who don’t support them. Feelings of insecurity, doubt and pressure may creep in during puberty. Offset those feelings with a lot of posi-
tive comments about who he is as an individual — and not just when he brings home an A. Show interest in and discuss your child’s daily ups and downs. You’ll earn your child’s trust, learn how to talk to each other, and won’t take your child by surprise when you voice a strong point of view about drugs. Preteens and many teens aren’t concerned with future problems that might result from experimentation with tobacco, alcohol or other drugs, but they are concerned about their appearance — sometimes to the point of obsession. Remind them about the negative effects alcohol, tobacco and other drugs have on physical appearance. Get to know your child’s friends — and their friends’ parents. Check in by phone or a visit once in awhile to make sure they are on the same page with prohibiting drug or alcohol use, particularly when their home is to be used for a party or sleepover.

The Blessings of Obedience Recently on Facebook, I saw this statement, “God has a habit of picking nobodies and making them somebodies without consulting anybody.” When Israel clamored to have a king like the nations around them, God relented and raised up an obscure nobody by the name of Saul and made him a somebody — the first king of Israel. God greatly blessed Saul and gave him many victories. Unfortunately, Saul began to disobey and rebel against God’s Word. God sent Saul and his army against the Amalekites and instructed Saul to completely destroy them and all of their livestock. But Saul disobeyed God and kept the best of the sheep for himself. God sent the prophet Samuel to confront Saul. Saul’s excuse was that he kept the best of the sheep to offer animal sacrifices in worship to God. Samuel said, “Has the Lord as
great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he also has rejected you from being king.” (I Samuel 15:22-23) Saul lost the blessing and favor of God because of disobedience and rebellion. Samuel’s word to King Saul is referenced at least ten times in scripture concerning how to please God. Jesus lived in obedience to the Father and made the ultimate sacrifice on the cross. (Hebrews 10:5-10) Consider some of the blessings of obedience to God. OBEDIENCE IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF WORSHIP. King Saul claimed that he kept back the sheep and oxen to worship God with. But God says, “Obedience is better than sacrifice.” (I

Samuel 15:22-23) At one time Lucifer led the angelic host in worship. But his rebellion expelled him from the presence of God. God seeks those who will worship him in “spirit and truth.” (John 4:23-24) OBE DI E NC E RESULTS IN INTIMACY WITH GOD. “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire; my ears you have opened.” (Psalm 40:6-8; 51:16-17) Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice and will not follow a stranger.” (John 10:4-5) Obedience makes you a friend of God. (John 15:14; Revelation 3:20) OBE DI E NC E ASSURES YOU OF GOD’S PRESENCE. “Terror will grip them, for God is with those who obey him.” (Psalm 14:5 NLT) Even if you are thrown in a fiery furnace, God will be with you like he was with the three Hebrew children who refused to worship another God. OBEDIENCE QUALIFIES YOU FOR THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. “But Peter said, ‘We ought to obey God rather than men . . . so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.’” (Acts 5:26-32) Faith and obedience will release the Holy Spirit to work through your life.
OBEDIENCE IS A TESTIMONY TO THE WORLD. “For your obedience has become known to all.” (Romans 16:19) When one “walks the talk” and practices what they preach, it becomes an undeniable and powerful testimony to the world. OBEDIENCE BRINGS PROSPERIT Y AND HEALING. “If you be willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land.” (Isaiah 1:11-20) I prayed for a man who had back problems. A few days later he called me and said, “Pastor, after I obeyed the Lord in a certain situation, my back was totally healed.” Jesus put a mud pack on a blind man’s eye and told him to go and wash in the pool of Siloam. As the man obeyed, he came back seeing. Obedience to God will bring prosperity and healing. Experience the blessings in obedience. The old hymn reminds us “Trust and obey. For there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, than to trust and obey.” Look to Jesus, who, in obedience to his heavenly Father, willingly laid down his life on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An upcoming trip could create some problems with your schedule unless you tie up as many loose ends as possible before you head out the door. Ask a friend or colleague to help you. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Being eager to start a new project is fine. However, moving ahead without knowing what actually will be expected of you could cause a problem down the line. Ask some questions. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Getting through some recent challenges in good shape might give you a false sense of security. Don’t relax your guard. You need to be prepared for what else could happen. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still advised, even though you think you’re as prepared as you need to be. Keep in mind that change is in your aspect, and you should expect the unexpected. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Lion’s gift of persuasion helps you get your points across, even to some of your most negative naysayers. An old friend might seek you out for some advice. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Being sure of your convictions is fine. But leave some room for dissenting opinions. You might learn something that could help you avoid a possible problem later on. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Getting good legal advice on what
your rights actually are is the first step toward resolving that pesky problem so that it doesn’t re-emerge at a later date. Good luck. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Longtime relationships work well this week, whether they’re personal or professional. It’s a good time to invite new friends and colleagues into your life. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good week to do the research that will help you uncover those irrefutable facts that can back you up on your new venture when you most need it. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Change is an important factor in your aspect this week and could affect something you might have thought was immune to any sort of adjustment or “alteration.” AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Being asked to share someone’s deeply personal confidence might be flattering, but accepting could be unwise. Decline gracefully but firmly. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) As wise as you are, you could still be misled by someone who seems to be sincere but might not be. Take more time to assess the situation before making any commitments. BORN THIS WEEK: You like to face challenges that others might try to avoid, and by so doing, you set an example of courage for all. © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

Donate blood with the Red Cross to help those fighting cancer
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood or platelets to provide hope and healing to patients fighting cancer. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women, and more than 268,000 women are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. In August 2016, Myel Bowers-Smith went to the doctor for what she thought was a breast infection for a mosquito bite after a vacation in Cancun. Instead, she received the devastating diagnosis — she had stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer, a very rare and aggressive breast carcinoma. Bowers-Smith, a U.S. Army veteran, committed to fighting for her life. “Once I began fighting, I knew I had to remain strong,” she said. Her aggressive care plan included five different chemotherapy treatments
and steroids. Like many patients with cancer, B ower-Smith needed multiple blood product transfusions. Cancer patients undergoing surgery and chemotherapy may require red blood cell or platelet transfusions. In fact, more than half of all platelets collected by the Red Cross are used by patients with cancer. After months of grueling treatments, in August 2017, Bowers-Smith celebrated the news that her cancer was in remission. Today, she enjoys sharing her story and encouraging others to be a blessing by donating blood or platelets. “Eligible donors, you have something good — which is your blood. A pint of blood can help save lives.” Donors of all blood types, especially platelet donors and those with type O blood, are needed to ensure a stable supply for cancer patients and others
this fall. Appointments can be made by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device. As a thank-you, those who come to give blood or platelets during the month of October will automatically be entered for a chance to win one of five $500 gift cards redeemable at hundreds of merchants, courtesy of Tango Card. Terms apply; see rcblood.org/ game. Upcoming blood donation opportunities are listed below.

Ultra-Modern Table Ever wonder who invented the table? The earliest tables seem to have been used by the ancient Egyptians, although they did not sit near it; they used the flat top to hold things. It was not until the days of the Greeks and Romans that tables were used in a house near a seated person. By the Middle Ages, large tables were used for banquets and there were special rules about the seating. But today we can find many tables made for specific tasks, like sewing, dining, playing games or holding a candle, a lamp or a special ornament. Tables have flat tops with three, four or more legs, or an unusual base. Twentieth-century designers became adventurous and made tables that were placed on the backs
of two carved statues or on a series of geometric shaped blocks. Perhaps the strangest table seen recently is the “Foot Art” side table. It has a flat top, one drawer with a human nose for a handle, and a resin foot for the base. The large foot in a blue boot supports the top on three metal rods stretching up from the inside of the boot. It was sold by Burchard Galleries in Florida. *** Q: I bought a wooden piece from an antiques dealer in Nebraska in the 1970s. He told me a “picker” from the Northeast brought it here. It is 59 inches tall and 26 inches wide. It has straight sides, and I was told it has “shoe feet.” The center vertical piece of wood slides up and down, and the circular “cage” pieces turn.

Do you have any suggestions or a value? A: You have a “squirrel cage” yarn winder, also called a “squirrel cage swift.” It is used to smoothly and quickly wind a skein of yarn onto a weaving bobbin or a ball winder. The skein is placed around the two drums that rotate as the skein unwinds. The shoe feet on your winder add stability as the drums turn. Squirrel cage swifts made in the 18th and 19th centuries start at about $150 at auction. Those made by craftsmen of the Shaker community sell for $700 to $950. *** Current Prices Vase, Peters & Reed, brown, green, vines, column shape, 12 inches, $15.

Halloween Treats
Make sure your family and friends get plenty of treats this Halloween. Below are some of my family favorites. 6 medium apples 2 cups sugar 1 cup water
Candied Apples
6 wooden skewers or sticks 2/3 cup light corn syrup Red food coloring
Wash and dry apples. Remove stem from each and insert a wooden skewer securely in its place. In a small heavy saucepan, dissolve sugar and corn syrup in water over medium heat. Raise heat and boil rapidly until syrup reaches 300° on a candy thermometer — the hard crack stage. (No thermometer? Drop a little of the mixture into very cold water; when removed, it will crack when tapped sharply.) Remove from heat and stir in enough food coloring to give a bright rosy color. Place saucepan in a large pan of hot water. Holding each apple by its skewer, dip into syrup until completely coated; place on a greased tray or cookie sheet to harden. Makes 6 candied apples.
Popcorn Balls
1 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup sugar 1 pkg. (3 oz.) fruit flavored gelatin
1 cup coarsely chopped peanuts 3 quarts popped popcorn (about 3/4 cup unpopped)
Combine corn syrup and sugar in a large heavy saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring. Remove from heat and add gelatin, stirring until dissolved. Stir in peanuts and popcorn and mix well. When cool enough to handle, shape into balls with lightly buttered hands. Wrap each ball in plastic wrap and tie with orange ribbon or yard. Makes 12 popcorn balls.
Goblin Cookies
1 cup butter 1 egg 1¾ cups flour 1 tsp. salt 3 cups quick-cooking oats (uncooked)
1 cup light brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. baking soda 1 T. milk 1 cup dark raisins
Cream butter until soft; gradually add brown sugar, beating until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together; gradually stir into egg mixture. Stir in milk and oatmeal: mix well and chill for a few hours. Roll out dough on a sheet of waxed paper until a little less than 1/4 inch thick. With a jack-o'-lantern cutter, cut out cookies and place about 1 inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Use raisins to make eyes, nose and mouth on each cookie. Bake in a preheated 375° oven 10 minutes. Makes about 40 cookies. NOTE: Not all of the cookies need be shaped as jack-o'-lanterns. Try a variety of cookie cutters to bring out all the goblins, cats, witches and ghosts. 2 eggs 2 T. butter, softened 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 cup orange juice Oil for deep frying
Orange Doughnut Drops
1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 cups flour 1/4 tsp. salt 2 T. finely grated orange peel Confectioners' sugar
Beat eggs: then beat in granulated sugar and butter. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together: stir into egg mixture alternately with orange juice and peel. Heat oil to 375° in a large saucepan or deep skillet. Drop batter into oil by scant teaspoonfuls - do not overcrowd. (The batter will drop easily if you dip spoon into hot oil before dipping it into batter.) Fry until golden brown, then turn to brown evenly. Remove with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar. Makes 3 dozen 1½-inch doughnut drops. *** If you have a favorite recipe and want to share it with us, just send it in c/o The Shopper's Weekly, P.O.
