value of cheese in the daily diet
for all members of the family, I
promised more recipes using
cheese in other than the common
ways. For those who may have
tried the cheese puffs, and like the
combination, the following recipe,
while quite similar is very good,
| and delicious with afternoon eof
! fee.

STARR FINED FOR DRIVING
WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED
Merle W. Starr pieacted "Guilty"
before U. S. Commissioner Bonni
lyn Southard this morning to a
charge of driving an automobile
before the expiration of the sus
pension period of his territorial
driver’s license and was fined one
hundred dollars, which fine was
promptly paid by Starr. This car
is registered in the name of Starr’s
mother.
It will be remembered that
Starr’s Territorial Driver’s License
was suspended for one year in the
same court on October 7, 1948. on
a reckless driving charge, wherein
City Officer Max Pierce clocked
Starr driving at a speed approxi
mately eighty miles per hour in
the north end of town.
With the imposing of the one
hundred dollar fine, Stan's one
year suspension of Territorial
Driver’s license automatically be
gins as of Feb. 25th, 1949, instead
of October 7, 1948.
Investigation o n Wednesday
night by Terr. Highway Patrol
man George Puckett revealed that
Starr was driving his car from the
Seward Sanatorium in the direc
tion of Seward on the icy-coated
highway, and while attempting to
pass another car proceeding in the
same direction, Starr lost control
of his car, and Starr’s car skidded
completely over the left-hand
snow embankment and landed on
its top, causing several hundred
dollars worth of damage.
Fortunately, neither Starr nor
his companions Vernon Hurley or
Jack Hoogland were injured by
reason of this accident.

MODERATING WEATHER
LOWERS FROST LINE
The sudden rash of frozen water
pipes about town is attracting at
tention of the passers by, and it
is not unusual to find two or three
people watching a plumber at
work with the steam boiler alter
nately steaming and digging, oc- »
caslonally to the depth of eight
feet in an effort to locate the ser
vice line or thaw wires.
When asked why there should be
more frozen pipes now than a
month ago when the temperature
is no colder than at that time, we
were informed that the frost is go
ing deeper into the ground. More
over, as the spring rains begin the
frost drives still deeper into the
ground, and we can look for more
frozen lines than in mid winter.
The Blue Shop is pleased to an
nounce that Mrs. Harold Horton
is elected to full paid up member
ship in the Savings Club last Sat
urday, and is receiving a Blue
Shop Suit.
