Jazz Ballet

will be repeated by popular de
mand this Saturday, April 6,

twist has done to the public.
The music is rock-and-roll and
the ballet is about IS minutes
long.

How Can I?
Q. How can I preserve apples
for future use?
A. Fill a sterilized jar half-full

tablet, and finish by filling the
jar with apples. Run cold water
Into the Jar until it overflows
and seal with a sterilized lid.
When you are ready to use your
apples, rinse them thoroughly
with cold water.
