United We Sing — Nationalities’ Christmas Carbl Festival Featured in Pittsburgh — The eleventh “United We Sing” j Carol Festival will be held at Car- i negie Music Hall, Schenley Park, I Sunday afternoon, December 14th. As usual the main program will consist of the Christmas music of j at least twenty different cultural groups sung by choruses enrolled from the manifold heritage strains of Allegheny county. There will be fully 750 singers for the combined j chorus. This year, for the first time I in it’s history, the program will be given twice, viz., from 2 to 3, and from 4 to 5. The first program will be broadcast over station WPIT. Two performances have become necessary, because last year half of the people who came to hear the program had to be turned away from the completely packed hall. The “United We Sing” festival is a great experience for the people of Allegheny county. The annual pre- I sentation of this unusual program has been made possible by the gracious hospitality of the Carnegie Inj stitute and the generous cooperation j of Dr. Marshall Bidwell, noted or- j ganist, the Director of Music. Fur- ! ther support is derived from the American Service Institute, the Na- ; tionality Room Committees of the University of Pittsburgh, and various churches and schools sponsoring the participating choral groups. The directors of these groups are always more than equal to’ their manifold and exacting responsibilities. Decorations are furnished by the Dept, of Parks and Recreation of the City of Pittsburgh, publicity by the newspapers and radio-stations, contributions by the Allegheny County Chapter of the Colonial Dames and the Federated Music Clubs of Pennsylvania and many others. The Magyar heritage will be represented on the program by Miss Helen Brinner, announcer, who appears in Hungarian costume. SMILES A young business man, a deacon in his local church, was going to New York on business and while there was to purchase a new sign to be hung in front of the church. He copied the motto and dimensions, but when he got to New York discovered he had left the paper behind. He wired his wife: “Send motto and dimensions.” An hour later a message came over the wire and the new lady clerk who had just came from lunch and who knew nothing of the previous message read it and fainted. The message said: “Unto Us a Child Is Born. 6 feet long and 2 feet wide.” Jones: “I’ll bet you think twice before leaving that wife of yours alone in the evenings.” Smith: “I’ll say! First. I have to think up an excuse for going out, and then a reason why she can’t go with me.” Where can a man buy a cap for his knee? Or a key to the lock of his hair? Can his eyes be called an acad emy Because there are pupils there? In the crown of his head What gems are found? Who travels the bridge of his nose? Can he use when shingling the roof of his house Journal December 10, 1947 Several weeks ago, I received a request from Miss Mary Kosto of Newark for a Strudel recipe. Owing to unforeseen delays and complications, we had been unable to comply but today’s column is to be dedicated to the delicacy with assorted fillings. So for the Strudel or RÉTES we need 4% cups of cake-flour (use the very best quality) sifted, 2 eggs, 3 tbs. butter, dash of salt and lukewarm water. Cut the butter into the flour. Blend in beaten eggs and salt with enough water to make a soft dough. Knead dough until elastic and set in a warm place, covered, for SO minutes. Put a clean cloth over a large table, strew it with flour and place dough in center. Brush with melted buter and with a rolling pin, stretch dough carefully. Continue stretching dough with hands, palms up, always under dough, lest it tear. When dough is thin as paper, trim edges. Then let dough “rest” for about 15 minutes. Then place filling I inch thick in a line about 11 inches wide near one end of dough. Fold short edge of dough over it and then, lifting cloth, slowly roll up the strudel. Twist to fit a round pan or cut into 2 or 3 pieces. Place on greased pan and brush with beaten egg yolk or melted butter or cream and bake in a hot oven (400° F.) for 20 to 25 minutes. If served hot or warm, sprinkle with powdered sugar. For APPLE STRUDEL mix well 4 cups finely chopped apples, one third pound nutmeats ground, 2 or 3 tablespoons fine breadcrumbs browned in butter. Spread melted butter over dough and if yon desire filling spread throughout the Strudel, spread the apple mixture on dough instead of in a line, then roll spreading additional melted butter on dough as you go along. For NUT STRUDEL we grind 9 or 10 ounces of nutmeats. Add to 6 beaten egg yolks, 6 tbs. sugar, grated rind of either an orange or lemon (or any desired flavoring) and the stiffly beaten whites of 6 eggs. Spread on dough, roll up and bake. For POPPY SEED STRUDEL we grind about two thirds pound poppy seed, add sugar to taste and cook in milk to thiclien. Chop 2 apples. Spread poppy seed, then apples on dough and roll. For COTTAGE CHEESE STRUDEL mix 4 or 5 tbs. sugar with 4 or 5 egg yolks, 2tbs, cream, the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs, 2 cups cottage chese, a teaspoon vanilla flavoring and I cup chopped raisins. Spread and roll dough. For CREAM FILLED STRUDEL mix 6 egg yolks, 6 tbs. sugar, G tbs. cream, J cup choped raisins and 6 stiffly beaten egg whites. Spread and roll dough. For CABBAGE STRUDEL we chop a head of cabage, weighing approximately S pounds, very fine. Salt, let stand a few minutes, then drain well. Melt several tablespoons shortening, add 4 squares of sugar, and brown until rosy. Then add drained cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until rosy. Spread on dough, then spread cabbage with cream. Roll. If you prefer kohlrabi to cabbage, this makes a delicious filling, also. For MEAT-FILLED STRUDEL we cut the dough into squares or rectangles to fit our baking pan. Have pan well-buttered, place 3 pieces of dough therein buttering each piece. Spread with meat filling, then place 3 more pieces of dough, well-buttered, theron, More filling and finally cover with last 3 pieces of dough, well-buttered. For the filling, we need about 1& lb. cooked and chopped or ground meat, one third pound canned button or chopped mushrooms, 2 or 3 tbs. cream or top milk, 6 beaten egg yolks and 6 stiffly beaten egg whites. • Ground ham is especially delicious in the above as is the plain mushroom filling. For the latter we need about a pound of mushrooms which have been steamed with chopped parsley and onions in shortening, to which we add 3 whole eggs and 2 or 3 tbs. cream. We hope we have given Miss Kosto a variety to keep her busy sampling for some time. And continue sending in your requests — we will do our best to comply with any and all. Fraternally yours, Midge. The nails on the ends of his toes? Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail? If so, what did he do? Ho wdoes he sharpen his shoulder blades? I'll be hanged if I know, do you” Can he sit in the shade of the palm of his hand? Or beat on the drum of his ear? Does the calf of his leg eat the corn on his toes? If so, why not grow corn on the ear? “Are you the commander of this company?” inquired -a sweet old lady. “I’m Mrs. Jones. I have a grandson serving in your unit.” “I know,” replied the CO. “He’s away on a .furlough nowattending your funeral!” Friends are lost by calling often and seldom. If you do not ask their help, all men are good-natured. TO THE CONTRIBUTORS The next issue of the Journal will be published on Wednesday, December 31st.
