Miss Arlina Bliss, a stulent at Middlebury College, Vt. Dear Cheerio: Tomorrow, children, we'll have our first big party of the new year. If your name is on today's list meet Aunt Jill and the manager of the Loew's Alpine Theater, Mr. Cantor, out 1 simple and much like every other 7 II -ill 1 1 if 1 the World With Recipes." This is the fifth of a series of articles dealing with special dishes of other nations.) By MARGARET MARA "Polish women are born cooks, and the matter of printed recipes is of little concern to the average Polish housewife." So said Mrs.

Stella Ziembinski, supervisor of the Polish Day Nursery at 151 15th whose picture accompanies today's article. Mrs. Ziembinski serves the children at the nursery with foods cooked according to the style of the land of their parents. The average Polish family in Bay Ridge enjoys the dishes that are on the daily menu of their native land, and their American-born children are raised ci the same fare that their parents received a children In the old country. Mrs.

Josephine Urbanowlcs of 235 51st St. has never cooked American dishes for her family of six, and her daughters have learned to cook the dishes that their mother has always served. "In my home In Vilna, Poland," said Mrs. Urbanowics, "the style of cooking is like the style of other lands, and that is because the pop ulation of our country is a mixture of many nations," she pointed out. A great favorite with her family.

said Mrs. Urbanowics, Is "borsch," delicious soup made with red beets and sour cream. Here is her recipe for this popular dish, which will serve six people: BORSCH 2 bunches of red beets. 2 teaspoons vinegar. 1 pint sour cream.

2 tablespoons flour. Dash of pepper. Salt to taste. Wash beets thoroughly, using a vegetable brush. Cook beets in boiling water until tender.

Remove the beets from the water, and reserve the water. Peel the beets and chop fine, or grate. Add the seasoning to the beets and place the mixture in the beet water. Heat the sour cream and add to the beets. "Borsch" may be served cold in the Summer, with the sour cream added cold.

One of Mrs. Urbanowics' famous meat dishes is a chopped meat 5 cups of flour. Water to make dough. Chop kidney fat very fine (In meat chopper) and add to the beef. Chop onion and fry lightly in butter.

Add to the meat with salt and pepper, marjoram, and the three eggs. Mix thoroughly with the soup stock or water. Make noodle dough by combining the flour, egg and water. Place dough on a floured board and roll thin. Place a row of large spoonsful of the meat mixture on the and fold over the dough as in a turnover.

Using a biscuit cutter, cut out each meat ball and pinch the sides of the dough firmly. Drop the mpat balls into salted boiling water. When the meat balls float to the top of the water, then they are cooked sufficiently and should be removed. Serve as a meat course. Polish bologna is one of the most piquant in flavor of any of the spicy prepared meats.

Mrs. Urbanowics, like so many Polish housewives, makes her own bologna. This is the recipe with which she has made the bologna that has been served nt Innumerable gatherings at the Polish Day Nursery. POLISH BOLOGNA 5 pounds fresh, lean pork trimmings. 1 teaspoon of salt.

1 teaspoon pepper. 2 pieces of garlic, shredded. teaspoon sugar. 'j glass of water. 3 teaspoons of marjoram.

A pinch of salpetcr. Put meat through meat chopper, using the large knife. Add the seasoning and the water and mix well, using the hands. Fill bologna cases twhich have been soaked In water overnight) by putting mixture through meat chopper with the fun nel attachment, which is obtainable at all hardware stores for that pur pose. The bologna may be boiled or fried and is usually served with sauerkraut.

The marjoram leaves, which are used as a seasoning in the recipes eiven. is a popular seasoning in most Polish dishes. The proportions given in the recipes contained in the article to day will serve six people. Diocesan Choir Concert To Be Held Jan. 19 Choral and solo numbers comprise a large part of the program to be presented on Thursday night, Jan.

19 by the Catholic Diocesan Cliirosters of Brooklyn under the direction of the Rev. Lawrence H. Bracken. Many Catholics of Bay Ridge and South Brooklyn are planning to attend the conceit. The choral numbers will include examples of the finest of church music and also secular numbers of a lighter and more entertaining nature.

A number of church soloists will take part and It is quite possible that a singer from the Metropolitan Opera Company will also take part. The committee of arangements is headed by Mrs. Edward V. Killeen. There are 45 boys and 65 men in the chorus.

St. Anslem's, celebrated the mass and he was assisted by his nephew, Rev. James Smyth, and the Rev. Peter Flynn, both curates at the church. Justin D.

Cheerio John Wheeler writes Aunt Jill a pleasant little note, accompanying it with an original poem, which to say the least, has the tang of a surprise ending. John writes: Dear Aunt Jill: I joined your club a week ago and find it wonderful club. I'm telling all my friends about you and your club. Here is a poem which I made up myself. THE OCEAN Have you ever noticed the ocean With its waves so rough? It was not meant for kids like us, It Is meant for sailors good and tough.

3y CHEERIO JOHN WHEELER. 219 51st St. Aunt Jill is glad to know that you enjoy the Cheerio Club, John, and hopes that you'll continue with your poetic efforts and do try to bring as many of your friends as possible Into the club.

Another old place was "Paddy's hill," betwscn 28th and 30th from 4th to 5th Aves.

It was very high and afforded a good view of New York and the lower bay. Now-days we hear of parking spaces, but in the old days "Paddy's hill" was full of 'parking spaces." When the Brooklyn Bridge was first opened to the public in May, 1883, the hill was crowded at night to view the tireworks display which was several miles away. The Brooklyn, Bath and West End railroad ran trains down 36th St. and out on a rickety old pier, built on wooden piles which seemed to sink deeper in the mud every time a train went over it. The train connected with a boat for New York.

The first baby in the family was not to be lightly named, every one was emphatic about that. My father suggested the name of Mildred Campbell, an ancestor whom he highly esteemed, and he declined to take any fur ther part in tne discussion.

My mother solved the problem by giv- in it on Hoi. tclcVi thof chnlllri intr it aa ht urish t.hnr. Khnlllrl hft called after her mother, whose maiden name was Helen Everett. But in the excitement of carrying me to church, my father lost the name on tne way, very naturally, since was the one which he had declined to take part in choosing. When the minister asked him for It hr lust remembered that it had been decided to call me after my grandmother and he gave me the name of Helen Adams.

I am told that while I was still in long dresses, I showed many signs of eager, self-asserting disposition. Everything that I saw other people do, I insisted upon imitating. At six months, I could pipe out, "How d'ye do," and one day I attracted every one's attention by saying "Tea, tea, tea," quite plainly. Even after my illness I remembered one of the words I had learned in the early months. It was the word "water," and I continued to make some sound for that word after all other speech was lost.

I ceased making that sound "wah-wah" only when I learned to spell the word. They tell me I walked the day I was a year eld. My mother had just taken me out of the bathtub and was holding me in her lap, when I was suddenly attracted by the flickering shadows of leaves that danced on the smooth floor. I slipped from my mother's lap and almost ran toward them. The im pulse gone, I fell down ana cnea for her to lake me up in her arms.

Then, in the dreary month of February, came the illness which closed my eyes and ears and plunged me into the unconsciousness of a new born baby. They called it acute congestion of the stomach and the brain.

The doctor thought that I would not live. No one, not even the doctor, knew that I should never see or hear again. Though born a normal child, at the age of two, Helen Keller was blind, deaf and dumb! Sent in by CHEERIO LILLIAN SCHLEENBECKER.

Popes Park, that was situated on a high hill overlooking Greenwood Cemetery at 36th St. and 6th was a lonely and out-of-the-way place and was an ideal place for lovers on moonlight nights. To reach it from downtown one rode in horse cars to 5th Ave.

and 27th St. and walked the rest of the way. If one came by way of the 3d Ave. "dummies" one walked from 3d Ave. over a rough dirt road.

The Gunther steam road ran through 36th St. past the park, but its nearest stop was at the old Toll Gate about where 39th St. and 9th Ave. now is. There are many stories told about this old park.

On one occasion when a church picnic was being held, the man who held the concessions in the park noticed that t.he picnickers went to an old well when they wanted a drink. He had put in a large stock of "soft stuff" the day previous, with the idea they being church members they did not drink beer, but when he saw the old oaken bucket making sundry trips up and down the well he decided to do something in order to sell his "soft stuff," so he emptied the contents of several salt bags in the well which, of course, gave the water a salty taste which ended the "drinking bout" at the well. At church or religious society picnics no dancing was allowed on the dancing platform under the trees after nightfall, and the young ladies and thir escorts finished the day's festivities in the "hotel" in the park. This was done so the fond mamas could keep a watchful eye on their daughters and prevent what is now known as "petting parties." The "hotel" was a long low-celling wooden structure with kerosene lamps hanging from the ceiling and walls. The most popular dance in the old days was the waltz.

The young ladies of those days when dancing could not skip around with the agility of the young ladies of today owinj to their heavy clothing, for in the old days when a young lady bought clothes "he looked for and got a lot for her money, but nowadays when a young ladv buys clothes well. The afternoon picnics were always crowded and what a contrast there was in the park surroundings. Across the road in Greenwood Cemetery could be seen rows of graves, numerous headstones and monnments were also in view. And on many occasions mourners could be seen standing by open graves watching their departed ones be laid away, while across the street, Mul-care's band would be blaring forth with "Pins and Needles" or "Whoa, Emma." or some other popular tune of that da7. It was the truest exemplification of the phrase "from grave to gay." Many political clubs held picnics in the old park, and it often happened that many of the members who had partaken too freely of the amber fluid would lie down In the grass alongside the cemptery fence and to all intents and purposes they seemed as dead as some of the occupants of the graves, and they seemed to fit in with the inscriptions on some of the headstones THE FORT HAMILTON SAVINGS BANK, which has served this community for the past nine years, was merged with THE LINCOLN SAVINGS BANK OF BROOKLYN on December 31, 1932.

Through the splendid support of the depositors, the Fort Hamilton has had a steady growth, and its consolidation with the Lincoln, which is an old Brooklyn institution, organized in 1866, will prove to be of great benefit to the community. The Lincoln Savings Bank is the third largest mutual savings bank in Kings County and has been doing business in Brooklyn for more than 66 years. It now has over 160,000 depositors and assets of Better facilities for the accommodation of depositors will be provided from time to time in keeping with the Bank's policy of rendering the highest type of Savings Bank service possible. Mr. James L.

Meeks, former President of the Fort Hamilton, and all of the staff will continue their association with the Bank. i The Social Editor Invites you to submit news of card parties, weddings, engagements, vacation trips, dinners, dances and other affairs for publication in Home Talk.
