MARKETING with Marjorie


Since my budget got a lot slimmer than I did on my vacation, I'm in a particularly thrifty mood these days. So are plenty of other women ... judging by the large number I always see taking advantage of the everyday low prices at the A&P. Are you among them?


FISH STORY ... . CEREAL STYLE


If fish is your dish, here's a recipe you'll fall for ... hook, line and sinker: Combine 2 cups flaked cooked fish, 1 cup salad dressing, 1/2 cup chopped green pepper, 14 cup chopped onion, 1 cup chopped celery, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. Worces- tershire sauce. Place in casse- role. Pour 2 tbsps. melted butter over 2 cups of A&P's crunchy SUNNYFIELD CORN FLAKES (lightly crushed). Toss with fork and sprinkle on fish mixture. Bake 30 to 40 minutes in hot oven, 400°F.


WORTH MINTSI


Fruit salad is even more refresh- ing when it's served with minted salad dressing (which doesn't cost a mint to make if you use ANN PAGE SALAD DRESSING as a base) . Just add 2 tbsps. of crushed after-dinner mints to 12 cup of this creamy-smooth, tart-sweet dressing from the A&P; blend well and let stand 1/2 hour to de- velop flavor.


TOASTED CINNAMON CIRCLES


Those fresh, tender JANE PARKER DONUTS you get at the A&P are well worth toasting ... in every sense of the word! Try popping them under the broiler, but first split each one, spread with soft butter, and sprinkle with a mixture of cin- namon and sugar (1 tsp. cinna- mon to 14 cup sugar).


HEAT BEATER!


Iced tea and citrus juices are won- derful whistle-wetters. Put them together and you get a really un- beatable beverage! Here's how: To 5 cups of chilled tea, add 1/3 cup of strained orange juice and 14 cup of strained lemon juice. Sweeten to taste and pour over ice. That's all there is to it ... except, of course, to be sure to use one of the famous Flavor- Tested teas sold only at the A&P -OUR OWN, NECTAR or MAY- FAIR. Each of these blends makes grand iced tea at its heat-beating, delicious best.

Herkimer March


(Continued from last week) The patriotic pilgrimage to the Herkimer homestead September 1, 1911, was a red letter day in Mo- hawk Valley history. The special train provided over the West Shore Railroad made it possible for large numbers to visit the grave and old home of our Revolutionary generai. The weather conditions were per- fect, the day proving to be one of the brightest and sunniest of early fall. A program full of Interest was carried out in the beautiful enclos- ure, where the State of New York has erected a noble shaft in grate- ful memory of the hero who rests beneath its shadow. The slogan of the day was: "The Herkimer Home- stead-Let us preserve it." The pres- ervation of this historic shrine was the keynote of every address.


Two notable exhibits were the original commissions creating Nich- 'olas Herkimer a brigadier general in 1776, and the original grant of Johan Joost Herchheimer, father of the General, issued in 1752 by George II, King of England.


A largely attended meeting of those interested in marking the Herkimer route took place at Hotel Richmond in Little Falls in the morning. Uniform granite markers with bronze tablets suitably in- scribed, and including the map In | bas-relief, was adopted. It is a source of just pride that the Ger- man-American Alliance, the Sons of Oriskany, Fort Schuyler Chapter Sons of the Revolution, the Utica Chamber of Commerce, the Boost- ers' Club and the school children of the city of Utica, participated with the Daughters of the American Revolution in commemorating Her- kimer's march.


The appointment of Mrs. Frances W. Roberts as chairman of the com- mittee for securing the markers was a most fortunate and happy one. With rare executive ahility she dis- charged the arduous duties connect- ed with this important


with utmost zeal and faithfulness, thereby winning the praise and


gratitude of all.


Paul E. Cabaret & Co. of New


York won additional honors for their splendid execution of the work entrusted to them. The map pre- pared by Mr. White they designed in bronze with rare artistic skill and workmanship, proving the Cabarets to be, indeed, "Masters in bronze." Withal, the spirit with which they executed their commission proved them also to be a worthy party of our great patriotic enterprise. In the , perfecting of the minutest details of this extraordinary piece of work -- exceptional in bronze for its fine- ness and delicacy - they exercised To the deepest personal interest. them are due our unbounded thanks and appreciation. History is not always written in books. Paul Cabaret & Co. have eloquently in- scribed the most stirring pages of Mohawk Valley history in a series of fourteen beautiful tablets of en- during bronze. Hereafter people, passing along our busy highway will


by the heroic deeds of Herkimer and his 800 which they tell. The handsome Barre granite memorial stones secured through Mr. Henry L. Salladin of Utica were placed in position In the most satisfactory manner and in ample time for the unveiling ceremonies.


It is well to speak of the civic im- provement brought about by the placing of the school children's marker in Fort Schuyler Park, Utica, in October, 1910, the Histori- cal and Patriotic Societies of the city marked the site of the old for- tification built in 1758. It was considered an appropriate place for the school children's marker be- cause the wounded Gen. Herkimer rested here on his return home af- ter the battle of Oriskany. The at- tention of the mayor of the city, Mr. Frank J. Baker, and the presi- dent of the Park Board, Mr. F. William Bensberg, was called to the fact that considerable land was be- ing used for public traffic which might be utilized in enlarging the


THE AMERICAN GENEALOGY GUILD DIRECTORY


THE GENEALOGY DIRECTORY is a list from all over the United States and some outside. The names are arranged in alphabetical order according to the surnames, and each name is numbered. It is easy to find any name instantly.


A QUERY REGISTER is kept at headquarters in which is registered all the family names asked for by those in the Directory. The two are cross-Indexed so it is possible to find the Genealogist who is interested In any Family.


These lists are growing very fast. Thirty new names were added to the Directory and 219 to the Register in one week alone. The cost to enter your name in the Directory is 25 cents. Members of the D. A. R., Preachers of the Gospel and War Veterans are listed FREE; please submit proofs; also Genealogists who have contributed items to the Genealogy Press will be admitted FREE if they send a clipping of the item, with date. A large self-addressed stamped return envelope is required in all cases.


THE REGISTER SERVICE. To have Full Register Service costs 50 cents. This allows you to have your name In the Directory, and to send Family Names for the Register, at 10 cents each, which includes our sending you ALL the names, with addresses, of those who have asked about this name before; and, in turn, your name and address will be sent to ALL who ask about your Family Names in the future. Be sure · to write them giving ALL the information you have and ask them to do the same:


In this way we connect ALL who are interested in any name. If you seek infro about BROWN you will be introduced to EVERYBODY ELSE who asks about BROWN-Simple is It not.


The Code System of signing your initials (or other letters) to items in the Genealogy papers is a good system if you wish to conceal the fact that you are a Genealogist-But even then it is unnecessary -- Practically nobody reads these papers except those interested in Genea- logy. In fact one of the leading Genealogy organs prints the Genealogy page only for out-of-town subscribers. Those living in that city never see it.


If you desire the opinion of the Editor, or wish to call others atten- tion to your quest the Code System Is O. K .; but there is no reason why you should not use BOTH SYSTEMS; double your efficiency; send your items to the Genealogy Press, and also have your Family Names Regis- tered with THE AMERICAN GENEALOGY GUILD. The newspaper gives most publicity for ONE WEEK but the Directory-Register System keeps your Family Names before the Genealogy Ppublic for years to come. Many use both systems. If you send your Code Letters we will watch for your items-or you can cllp them and send to us, and we will send you any names of those interested that may have come in; or just send No., Jaka wahr item was printed. This gives a DOUBLE CHECK on your Tan enwo' half the


park. This was accomplished in an incredibly short space of time, through the prompt action of the superintendent of parks, Mr. Ed- ward M. Swiggett. By the 14th of June grass was growing and flowers blooming on what had hitherto been a barren roadway. At the same time Mayor Baker solved the perplexing problem of a suitable place for the erection of the bronze tablet by Onelda Chapter on the overhead crossing. Through his in-' terest and courtesy the matter was brought before the Common Coun- cil wherehy the city of Utica furn- ished the stone for the setting of the tablet which now occupies a conspicuous position on the south central abutment of the overhead crossing.


During her term of office as Re- gent of Oneida Chapter, it was Mrs. Lindsley's desire to mark the old fording place of the Mohawk. As the bridge was under process of construction during her adminis- tration, this was impossible, The tablet placed June 14, 1912, marks the Great Ford of the Mohawk, 1,500 feet east of the bridge, and commemorates as well the crossing of the patriot army at old Fort Sch- uyler, August 5, 1777. When gather- ing material for his Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution, the histor- ian, Losing, visited Utica in 1850. He says: "The city has no note- worthy reminiscences of the Revo- lution except the single fact that Herkimer and his army crossed the Mohawk at old Port Schuyler when on their way to Oriskany."


I gladly pay deserved tribute to the Regent of Oneida Chapter, Miss Mary Merwin, for her constant en- couragement and assistance through every stage of the year's work. Her hearty co-operation and wise coun- and As sel were of inestimable value cannot be over-appreciated. treasurer of the Herkimer Marker Committee, she rendered still fur- ther valuable service. The assistant treasurer, Miss Amelia V. R. Sayre, long a loyal and devoted member of Oneida Chapter, won golden opin- ions for her zeal and interest in! promoting the work. As a member of the Souvenir Book Committee, composed of Mrs. Roberts, Miss Sayre and Mrs. Pitcher, she ren- dered Invaluable aid. This official program issued in connection with the unveiling ceremonies testified still further to the fact that Oneida Chapter performed its full share toward the successful culmination of the Herkimer-Oriskany celebra- tion. Indeed, the fine original poem written in honor of the commem-


oration, "Herkimer, Our Herkimer," was composed by a member of Oneida Chapter, Miss Gertrude Her- kimer Coxe, a descendant of a sis- ter of General Herkimer.


Too much cannot be said in com- mendation of the Utica Public Li- brary exhibit, which extended through several weeks prior to the unveiling of the markers. It in- cluded maps, prints, books and photographs relating to General Herkimer and Oriskany. A com- plete bibliography was also prepar- ed for the benefit of those who wished to Inform themselves upon the subject.


The widespread interest created in the celebration on Flag Day was due to the publicity given to it by the press. We cannot sufficiently express our appreciation of its un- failing courtesy and the generous space accorded us. Never did the newspapers give a patriotic under- taking more cordial support and endorsement. The story of Oriskany repeated again and again famil- iarized the people with every de- tall relating to the most signal and far-reaching event in Mohawk Val- ley history. So it happened that the news of our great patriotic pil- grimage was carried across the con- tinent; it. reached from " coast to coast." A dear old lady of eighty, Mrs. Jeanette DeCamp Sweet, re- siding in Oakland, Cal., wrote as follows:


"Having seen a notice of the commemoration of the battle of Oriskany, in which my great grand- father and three of his sons were killed fighting side by side with General Herkimer, I feel a great interest in the occasion. I would so like an account of the celebra- tion in your historic country." It is needless to say that the descrip- tive program and the glowing news- paper accounts of the events of Flag Day were promptly forwarded (Continued on Page Six) 1
