Marshall County Humane Society News

Farmers and Flea Market set for Saturday

The Marshall County Humane Society’s Farmers and Flea Market last month was such a hit that we’re doing it again this month on Saturday, September 9, during the Hummingbird Festival. If you’re interested in having a booth either inside or outside call Lynn Pullen at 901-490-8553. Otherwise, join us shoppers between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the VFW in Holly Springs.

Last time, I got a 1-1/2” thick hardwood bread board almost as big as the top of my washing machine for fifty cents. After a find like that I have to go again, especially since the birdhouse people promised they’d be back and would have more butterfly houses.

If you would like to participate in our Humane Society, our next regular meeting will be Tuesday, September 19, at 6 p.m. at the public library in Holly Springs.

Sherry Janssen, our president, says you can participate without coming to the meeting if you’ll just help her clean up at the Adoption Center. (She’s getting a little desperate.) Call her at 662-252-5516 and let her know when you’re available.

Our sixth annual Spaghetti Supper is coming up September 26. Tickets will be available from members and at the Rental Barn in Holly Springs soon.

Coming up on our 7th anniversary, the Spay/Neuter Clinic is busier than ever. If your animal needs an appointment it’s good thinking to call 662-252-6196 well ahead of time. We’re open every Wednesday. Prices for dogs begin at $40 for a female and $35 for a male 25 pounds or less and increase by weight. Cats are $30 for a female and $25 for a male.

For information on adoptions, fostering and anything except the Spay/Neuter Clinic, call 662-564- 2900. Correspondence and donations should be sent to the Marshall County Humane Society, P.O. Box 625, Holly Springs, MS 38635.

Recipes from Martha Ruth Leonard
The Parson's Cookbook
Casserole Bread
1 cup scalded milk 3 tbsps. sugar 1 tbsp. salt 1-1/2 tbsp. shortening	2 pkgs. yeast 1 cup warm water 4-1/2 cups sifted flour
Pour scalded milk over sugar, salt and shortening. Cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Stir into lukewarm milk mixture. Stir until well-blended. Add flour, cover, let rise until double (about 40 minutes). Stir down and beat hard. Then turn into a 1-1/2quart greased casserole and bake for about an hour at 375 degrees.
Lazy Day Stew
In a casserole with a tight lid put:
2 lbs. beef stew meat, cubed 1 cup sliced carrots 1 can peas 2 chopped onions 1 tsp. salt dash of pepper	1 big potato, sliced 1 bay leaf 1 can cream of tomato soup thinned with 1/2 can water (you may use cream of celery or mushroom soup)
Put lid on. Place casserole in 275 degree oven. Now, you can do absolutely nothing for five hours, at which time the stew will bedone. Accept compliments gracefully, never reveal how simple it is!
Porcupine Meatballs
1-1/2 lbs. ground beef 1/2 cup uncooked regular rice 2/3 cup milk 1 tbsp. instant, minced onion or 1 med. onion, chopped	1-1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 can condensed tomato soup 3/4 cup water
Combine beef, rice, milk, onion, salt and pepper. Drop rounded tablespoonsful of the mixture into shallow baking pan (13x9x2). Combine soup and water. Pour over meat. Cover pan tightly with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Serves 6-8. Cook’s Note: I use about half the amount of of rice; this suits my individual taste. I have also lifted the meatballs from the sauce when they are done and combined them with spaghetti sauce and served them over cooked pasta. I have also kept the sauce with bits of rice mixed with it and combined it with leftover vegetables such as corn,etc. Makes a good lunch the next day.

If pending legislation in Congress passes there will be a lot of good news for the telephone using public after March 1, 1982.

Customers will also be able to buy long distance service from the telephone company or some other company. The changes will also enable the Bell System to offer high-technology computer-based communications. Home terminals could be used to shop by phone, bank by phone, “talk” to other computers by phone and many other possibilities.
