Then you remove the top layer of salty ice, tike off the top, then lake out the dasher-and good night-don't forget, of all things, to MX it. Keturn the top, repack it and you're on yourway to a good Ice cream, when it is homemade, Is much colder tasting than bought ice cream, at least I feel that it is. Today I would like to give you homemade recipes for ice cream that I hope you will save and try.

1 hope you will like them and remember that summer is almost here. We have such nice light summers that Ijust can'tresist passingthese on to you.

Separate the eggs; beat the yolks slightly; add the sugar and salt and beat until lemon colored.

Strain the tea leaves from the light cream mixture and beat this mixture gradually to the egg and sugar mixture. Return to the double boiler and cook over hot water, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in honey Now cool. Beat the egg whiles until they stand in soft peaks. Whip cream.

Fold the egg whites and whipped cream into custard. Pour into ice cream freezer can. Adjust dasher and lid. Freeze according to the directions for your ice cream freezer. Will make abitovertwoquarts.

Good Vanilla Ice Cream 2 tab. pure vanilla or Vitsp.salt 2-3 inch pieces vanilla bean pod 1V5 cups sugar 3 cups half and half cream 8 egg yolks 2 tab. comstarch 3 cups heavy cream If you use the vanilla bean, scrape the seeds into the milk and the pod too. Scald. Combine the salt, sugar, comstarch and the slightly beaten egg yolks.

Mix well and beat in a little bit of the hot milk and combine both mixtures and cook over low heat stirring constantly until thick and smooth. Add vanilla if you do not use vanilla bean. If you do use it, be certain to strain the bean out before adding the comstarch mixture. That'swhy I think the vanillaiseasier.butmany people prefer the vanilla bean and it does taste very good. European cooks wouldn't be without it, however, real vanilla flavoring cannot lake a back seat for the bean.

Chill now and then stir in the heavy cream. You do not beat the cream before adding it; the cream is strictly for richness, that's it. Pour into freezer can, not more than two-thirds full, and chill very well. You should chill the container first if possible. Put together using 1 part rock salt, lo 8 parts crushed ice.

Turn the crank until it is hard to crank. Drain off the ice sall-walterand remove lid of the freezer container and lift out dasher. Serve at once or pack ice cream into can; cover with wax paper or plastic film paper (foil will do) and replace the top. Add ice and salt, 1 part salt to 4 parls ice, until the can is covered. The old fashioned way was to cover with a burlap bag and if you have one save it for this type of thing, if notnewspaperswill do (left over News-Miners) only remove your favorite articles.

If you desire chocolate ice cream just put 4 or 5 squares of unsweetened chocolate in a sauce pan and put in 1 cup of the cream and melt the chocolale. Add to the rest of the cream when cooled. Naturally, use the vanilla, be sorta lost without that vanilla.

You may carry on with other types too: like 2 large jars of chopped maraschino cherries, drained, and 3 cups chopped pecans, or 1 cup shaved chocolate, sweet or semi-sweet, using a potato peeler reducing the sugar to 1 cup and adding (he vanilla and putting in the vanilla, only adding 1 tsp. peppermint flavoring and several drops of green coloring to make it pretty or 5 mashed bananas and 4 cups very finely chopped pecans, and if you use this, add a few drops of yellow coloring.

Greene, Anchorage; seated left to right, Mrs. John Zasada, Fairbanks; Mrs. Donald Finney, Ketchikan; and Mrs. Charles Booher, Anchorage. Also attending but not pictured was Mrs.

Leonard Peyton, Fairbanks. The purpose of the Council is to offer direction and leadership to the State League in years when there is not a state convention. Besides evaluation and plans on internal matters, there was discussion on League's new publication, "Know Your on Uie compilingand publishing of a state-wide Voters' Guide; and on the State League's opposition to a Constitutional Convention. The League of Women Voters of Alaska officially launched its 1972 campaign to oppose UK voter approval of a constitutional convention on the November ballot. The State Board released the announcement at the conclusion of the League's State Council meeting in Kodiak in April.

a i constitutional convention is not a new League action. Two years ago the League opposed the convention after an in-depth study of Alaska's Constitution a i a i a i convention in the '70s. Measured against criteria established during the study, the constitution was supported by LWV. Members declared the amendment process adequate to meet any changes needed in the decade and urged voters to rely on It until a longer test period had been given the present document. With the return of the question to the ballot this fall the League is still working for a "No" vote.

Of special concern in the drive is the variety of interest groups lining up to a i i a in a constitutional convention and the likelihood of divisive and destructive changes in the constitution emerging from any convention held at such a stage of controversy and tension as Alaska is now experiencing.

HAPPY VACATION! By JOY STILLEY AP Newsfealures Writer PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (AP) Five-year-olds are perfectly capable of learning to play chess and, in fact, that is Ihe best age to start them out, says leen-age chess expert Eric Schiller, who serves as a volunteer teacher to kindergarten youngsters. "The earlier they learn to play chess the more beneficial the ability will be," he says. "Chess playing helps develop more logical reasoning processes and helps them to think more clearly and evaluate decisions better." The 17-year-old senior at Schreiber High School here leaches the fundamentals of the game to kindergarteners at the i a School. He is a volunteer for HELP (Help Educate Little People), a program that places high school students in an assistant teacher capacity in elementary schools.

"I asked for the younger chil- dren because I feel they're easier to work with and there's more you can teach someone young," says Schiller. "I've always had the idea of introducing chess lo kids and felt the best place was on the kindergarten level. "I learned at that age and Bobby Fischer did and so did most of the other players I have come in contact with," he continues. "In the United States it may seem early but in the Soviet Union it's normal." Schiller, who gets a half unit credit per term for working five days a week with his young students, starts out by introducing the pieces one at a time and letting the kids become thoroughly familiar with how each moves. One 6-year-old has already played in an under- 13-year-old tournament.

"I give them general principles thai get them going," he explains. "They use basically (he same opening all the time, but they are beginning to gel some attacking schemes down and occasionally gel into some and had a crushing defeat," he admits, "and then I started lo pick up chess seriously and bought the first of many chess books. I probably buy more chess books than any other junior (under-21 player) in the country." Now chess has become a way of life for Schiller, who carries a folding chess board, zipper- cased playing pieces and basic chess books with him wherever he goes. He was an assistanl tournament director for Ihe U.S. Chess Championship, was captain of the Eastern High School co-championship team and has won many trophies.

He owns seven chess sels, including one huge "artistic" one. He also plays bridge, but thinks it involves too much luck. "In chess (here's a very small percentage of luck," he says. "The only reason people lose in chess is because they make a mistake themselves. Schiller plans to attend the University of Chicago next year and major in Russian, a language he became inlerestcd in reading books a chess, bul which he now enjoys for ils own sake.

In addilion to speaking Russian, he speaks Serbo-Croatian and can read German, Porluguese, Spanish, French, Czech and Swedish, all of which he familiarized himself with through reading chess magazines. He may eventually go into the field of diplomacy, leaching or some lype of inlerpreling work. "But my real idea for life is to gel a job to sustain myself while playing chess." he says. "Klondike Kate," the "Salmon River Savage," retires from the Alaska School System after forty-five years of successful and interesting teaching. Kate Bentz has been associated with school work from primary teaching to the Office of County Superintendent.

Her career has extended through the Northwest from Idaho to Ft. Yukon, Alaska. I neighborhood of 1,000 pupils have been benefited by the wholehearted efforts of this fine teacher.
