Today, few of us make home- Mad* breads, partly because we ten come to believe that they take • k»K time to prepare. The fact is that all the actual mixing can be completed in a few minutes. Then the dough itself does most of the t work. Jnst put it aside and let it rite. Certainly nothing could be easier than that. Here is a recipe for an easy-to-do •tollen, good to look at, fine eating ; lor any meal. Served with fresh trait; it becomes a handsome des- • aert for dinner. Then--if there is •ny left over--serve it again for breakfast or lunch. Morning, noon or night, stollen , Is at Its delicious home-made best . when it is served with generous 1 caps of steaming, fragrant coffee. ' Fact is. it wouldn't really be quite complete without coffee! But don't forget--everyone will want extra helpings of stollen, and you'll need extra coffee to go with it. So be Mure to make enough for second ' caps--all the way around! 5 tablespoons milk, scalded "r, 14 cup shortening', «4 cup sugar 3. *4 teaspoon salt ' H pkg. dry yeast 1 tablespoon lukewarm water 1H to 1% cups : , sifted enriched flour X egg. beaten ,S tablespoons mired citron S tablespoons .diced candled , Cherries * cup confec- - tioner's sugar .1 teaspoons hot . water (about) ; 14 teaspoon . almond extract * cup chopped nutmeats Combine milk, shortening, sugar, salt; cool to lukewarm.

Beginning next month, local residents will receive their gas and electric bill by postal card in {place of the present envelope-eajclosed form, it was announced Monday by Wayne Saggars, district superintendent for the Public Bervice Company of Northern llliaois. Change to the new postal card bill, designed to help offset a continuing raise in operating costs, was authorised recently by the Illinois Commerce Commission. •Use of the new postal card follows A schedule of revamping of the ^automatic billing machines which Sprint monthly service bills. Sagiigars said the new type bills would feV$o to all residential and most couimercial gas and electric users. As of last month, the Public Ser- •,Tice Company was serving about 450,000 electric and 230,000 gas customers in 350 northern Illinois icommunities across a 6200 equare mile area. All but about 5,000, of ^these were classified as residential, rural or small commercial users. The change to postal card bills for these groups of customers will I reduce billing costs by a substantial amount annually, Saggars ' said. "It is another move in our continuing , program of economy to help offset rising operating costs," he said, "and is necessary if we are to keep on giving the best service possible at the lowest rates ; possible." It is estimated that over twelve million postal card hills for Utility services are now being issued ta the United States and the number is increasing steadily. In addition, many municipalities are sending water bills on a postal card form. This the scientists---who equip us with weapons against cancer are working with the $3,- 500,000 we gave them through the American Cancer Society. They could use, prudently and conservatively, at least twice that amount. They need at least twice that amount. They' need it for research beds which cost as much as $12,000 a year. So they can study the .effect on humans of promising experimental chemicals. They need as much as $25,000 for electron microscopes which enlarge the cells three hundred thousand times and enable them to study the viruses which may cause some cancers. They need countless rats and mice and guinea pigs . for experiments with new. compounds--to find one which may save our lives. They need massive and delicate instruments-- like the mass spectrometer --costing $15,000--which can tear apart and identify the fragments of infinitely small bits of matter. This is our fight. Let's give the scientists the money they need. Let's beat cancer as the • Black Plague, smallpox and other terrorizing diseases Of the past have been beaten. Let's give generously to the American Career Society --and kill cancer. Tliip year the Society will distribute some 75 million pieces of educational literature. It will step up its activities in the use of posters and exhibits, pre^s and magazine stories, radio and television material, motion pictures and every other means of communication available to it.' If you--the public--will help the American Cancer Society meet the challenge by contributing even more generously than you have in the past, they will be able to redouble their efforts.

After witnessing her splendid interpretation of therole of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus, in "The Pri-ict of Peace" coming to the Miller Theatre, Woodstock, for an engagement of three doy«^ matinee- and night, starting Tuesday, May 9, few would guess but that Darlene Bridges was anytmng but a professional actress of long standing. Actually, Mrs. Bridges Is a housewife, and her appearance in "The Prince of Pease" is her first screen role. Darlene Bridges did s(udy for the stage once, at Baylor University i i Waco, Texas, but her training for work behind the footlights was short lived. Romance interfered and she gave up her anticipated career on the stage to marry George Bridges and bear him two lovely children. • . But her desire for the stage never quite left her and -when she witnessed the annual Wichita Mountain religious service at Lawton, Oklahoma, she was fascinated anew by the possibilities of a dramatic portrayal of the mother of Jesus. In 1948, fate again took a hand in the life of Darlene; Bridges and her stage career. Her husband went into business in Lawton, Oklahoma and the family moved there. One of the first things Mrs. Bridges did was to try HCHjit for the part of the Virgin Miry. When the actual filming, o* "The Prince of Peace" took ftradto'i Mrs. Bridges ended Up. having not one.' but two roles Jo play, that of the Virgin in Uie biblical scenes and that of herself---"Mrs. Darlene Bridges -- WJHWewtfe," in the modern-story sequences.

Worthy of Your Support By how all should know that next Sunday, April 30, is our council's Communion Sunday. Members and their families are expected to be on hand at St. Mary's church tor the 8:30 mass to receive the Blessed Sacrament in a body. In tddition to this being the duty of aach member, it is the finest example of Catholic action toda^ Chairman Lcroy Welter and your (». K. are most anxious to have this Communion Sunday be the largest attended council function in the forty-three years of its existence. To fulfill their drearif is a very simple mater. The means to that end can be found in one et^sy little word, Cooperation! HOw very insignificeAt ,1s . the amount of effort attached to getting out of bed a few minutes earlier than you do on any other Sunday moaning, starting up the old bus and driving that short distance to St. Mary's. But, on the other hand, "What a wealth of spiritual good you can'derive from this collective reception of the Holy Eucharist! Furthermore, setting aside all selfish reasons and looking at it from a purely charitable standpoint, think of the inestimable spiritual lift this -gesture will give to the souls of our departed brothers! Immediately following the church services, th03e in attendance will adjourn to the school hall for breakfast.' Even though for some reason you failed to send in your reservations, we sincerely hope you will- be with us. A modicum of after-dinner speaking, will insure your early return home and a full day with the family. These Communion breakfasts have &U way3 been the high spot in our year's calendar of events. Let's make this one the best to date. Be seeing jou next Sunday. Try to be early. Easter at McHenry Bible church. From just a handful & year ago to 89.

"TORCHY" KRAUSE M.B.C. News How we tbank our blessed Lord for the way he blessed and led us. With the rough weather discouraging some we were encouraged with the number that did come. May God give us more like those who came faithfully no matter what the we&ther. Mr. Glauser's singing was, a real blessing. Our prayer is that more singers and musicians will come to Bible church. How about you? By the time you read this, the Book of Philippiane will have been covered in our prayer meeting Bible study. Next Wednesday at 8 p.m. we shall begin a series of studies on the second coming of Christ. The disciples were gathered in the upper room in prayer when Jesus appeared with his message of peace. Let us all gather with this prayer that His peace might rest on our hearts and on our land. The teacher training class with the pastor as instructor will be tonight (Thursday) at 7 p.m. in the Glauser home, Ringwood. This is the last invitation to you to join this class which will continue ej£?ry week until the end of June. This coming Sunday Dave Harthian and his family will be jjyith us in all services.
