First because it is to make and secondly because nearly everyone likes salmon.

Furthermore it is easy to ring in a number of changes on this pie. The most pretentious and dressed-up version of thn salmon pie is made with a filling of chopped green peppers, onions, salmon and white sauce under a delicious Huffy, flavorful topping called cheese whirl crust. This is the recipe I'm going to give you first and then I'll tell you how to change it to make the other three variations of this pie. SALMON PIE WITH CHEESE WHIRL CRUST 1 small green pepper, thinly sliced 2 small onions, thinly sliced 3 tbsp. butter 4 tbsp.

all-purpose flour Since our people are more interested in ilicir arris forces at this time than at any other time since the World War, I feel it is our duty and obligation to afford them the privilege of obtaining a complete understanding of our defense program. Therefore, I am extending to you, your staff, and through you, to the people of Mississippi a most cordial and urgent invitation to visit their camp Hattiesburg on this day. We are arranging a most complete and very interesting program for this day, and plan to make 1 this occasion a big day for Mississippi. You will be furnished a program in a few days. Would you honor me by elebration? Very truly yours, Saute the sliced green pepper and onions in butter in saucepan until soft (about 5 minutes).

Blend in flour and salt, stirring until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat. Heat about lVz cups of the milk. Meanwhile, add the remaining Vz cup cold milk to the flour mixture slowly, stirring constantly. Then slowly stir in the IV2 cups hot milk.

Return to heat, and cook until medium thick (about 5 minutes), stirring constantly to prevent lumping. Carefully blend in the flaked salmon (moistened with lemon juice). Pour this hot salmon mixture into a buttered 2-qt. casserole (8 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep). Cover with Cheese Whirl Crust and bake immediately for 30 minutes in a hot oven, 450 F.

Serve immediately. Pimiento Cheese Whirl Crust Make regular biscuit dough by sifting together 2 cups sifled all-purpose flour, 3 tsp. baking powder and 1 tsp. salt. Cut in i tbsp.

shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives. Mix in cup milk to make a soft dough. Roll out dough inch thick into oblong sheet not mor than 8 inches wide. Sprinkle with 2 finely chopped pimientos and cup grated yellow American cheese. Roll up like a jelly roll.

Cut into Vz inch slices. Place cut side down on top of the hot salmon filling in baking dish. Bake separately any pimiento cheese biscuits that may be left over. SALMON AND CORN PIE as delicious as it is different. Cook Yt cup finely chopped green pepper (or celery) and 2 tbsp.

finely chopped onion in 2 tbsp. butter for 5 minutes. Blend in 4 tbsp. flour, 1 tsp. salt and tsp.

pepper. Then remove from heat. Slowly stir in 1 cup milk and 2 cups cream style corn. Return to heat, and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and slowly stir in 1 well beaten egg.

Blend in 1 cup salmon. Pour into an 8-inch round "Open Face" Casserole. Make biscuit dough. Roll out half to fit over the rim of the casserole. Build up fluted edge and cut slits in top of crust for steam to escape.

Bake about 15 minutes in a hot oven, 450 F. This makes 4 large servings. DEEP DISH SALMON PIE easiest of all. Add 1 cup grated American cheese (about VI lb.) and one 1 -lb. can salmon (broken in large pieces) to 1 V2 eups medium white sauce (flavored with a little onion cooked in the butter).

Pour into an H-inch round "Open-Face" Casserole. Place biscuit crust on top and bake as directed for Salmon and Corn Pie. This also makes 4 servings. CopyrlslH 1911 tiy Hi'tty Crocker, Inc.

The spring holidays for the colleges have not only brought joy to the students who are free, but to quite a few of the feminine hearts of the institution here. Won't they be sad when they're over?

KENNETH G.

PRICE With such weather as we have been and are still having, it seems a wraste of time to write about gardening, for one feels that the sun and the beautiful delicate greep of the Spring growth and the innumerable flowers are encugh urge to make everyone feel like using their growing hand. However poetic one may feel though, there are still the garden pests to think about and watch for, and early spraying saves much trouble later on. The aphids are already making their appearance, for they dearly love the tender spring growth. Black-Leaf 40 or any nicotine spray will kill them. Tea Roses should be sprayed now to prevent thrips from ruining their lovely blossoms later on.

The same spray will be effective for them as for the aphids. I am of the opinion that hybrid-tea roses which were so badly damaged last fall by the early cold should be given a little time to recover now, before beginning the regular routine of spraying and fertilizing, but so much depends on the condition of individual bushes that it is hard to give a general rule. It would be well to watch carefully for signs of black spot, however, and perhaps to spray the ground around them now, for it is quite certain that having been weakened already by cold they arc in no condition for further weakening by disease. I believe that our experience this last Fall with hybrid-teas should make us all resolve to have at least some of the old tea roses in cur gardens, for they were not damaged at all and with regular spraying they will bloom beautifully. Hie annual county wide flower show will be held this month and the exact date and place will be announced soon.

We are hoping to have a very fine show this year and it is open to all, the only stipulation being that the flowers shall be grown by the exhibitor under whose name they are entered. Throughout the "week, sermons will be held at 7 :30 o'clock nightly to commemorate Easter season, it was "said.

If only there were some way of making Hot Cross Buns in a hurry 1 Like Magic Well there is. You can make some delightful little buns, vith white sugar crosses on top, in no time at all by simply using baking powder instead of yeast. Doesn't that sound like magic to be able to have a tray of delicious piping hot buns all ready to offer your guests in less than throe quarters of an hour? In fact you can even do better than that.

If you are using a prepared biscuit mix where the flour, baking powder, salt and shortening are already blended together for you you can make these little quick Hot Cross Buns in less than half an hour!
