Hamilton Cherry Crunch

One of my favorite memories of Hamilton Elementary was the delicious Cherry Crunch with Caramel Sauce.  Alice, my mother in law, worked for school lunch for several years.  This came from her recipe album. And so now I share it with you:
1 1/2 Cups of Flour
1 1/2 Cups of Oatmeal
! Cup of brown sugar
1 square of margarine
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of soda

Mix dry ingredients together with melted butter.

Sweeten and thicken 1 quart of cherries
Add almond flavoring and coloring to suit your own taste.
Put of the crumbly mixture on the bottom of a casserole dish.
Then put the thickened cherry mixture on top of the bottom crumbs.
Put the other half of the crumbly mixture on top of the cherry mixture.

Bake 20 minutes at 375 degrees.
Serve with whipped cream and the following sauce.

1 Cup of hot water
2 cups of sugar
1//4 cup of Margarine
4 cups of instant dry milk
Combine hot water and sugar and heat until the sugar is dissolved.  Then add the margarine.
Place in a blender and add instant dry milk, gradually blending until smooth.  Makes the equivalent of two cans (14 ozs each) of commercial sweetened condensed milk.

ENJOY!

Female Relief Society October, 1874


Meeting held in Social Hall October 5th, 1874.  Opened by singing "Let us Renew". Prayer by Sister Simpson.  Minutes of a former meeting were read and accepted.
Sister Morrison remarked that the Society was at a standstill this month.  She wishes the sisters who visit the people at their homes to exhort and teach them the necessity of attending meetings. Mother Walker needs a supply of clothing for winter and also reminded us of the good teachings the brethren gave us the last week and hoped that we may put them in practice.  All the sisters spoke and felt good.
Sister Simpson felt well and hoped the poor will be supplied.  Sister Tregore needs some things; said if we trust in the Lord and do right - not forgetting that our children in the way they should.
Sister Morrison exhorted all to have their trust in God,  for He will not forsake his own. 
Closed by singing and a prayer by Sister Morrison.
F.C. Morrison, Presidentess
E. Wallis, Secretary

The Fix

The Fix. There recently was an article in the St. Peters burg Fl. Times. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on: "How Would You Fix the Economy?" I think this guy nailed it!
__________________________________

Dear Mr. President,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call

it the "Patriotic Retirement Plan":

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay

them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:



1) They retire. [ no negotiation ] Forty million job openings -

Unemployment fixed.



2) They [no negotiation] buy a new American CAR. Forty

million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.



3) They [no negotiation] either buy a house or pay off their mortgage– Housing

Crisis fixed.



It can't get any easier than that!!


P.S. then, If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes...

Mr. President,

While you're at it, Request -Congress retire on

Social Security and Medicare. I'll bet both

programs would be fixed pronto!

If you think this would work, please forward to

everyone you know.
