CAROLYN RAGAN contributes the recipe for a dessert that is elegant, delicious, and different. In addition to all this, it is practical. At the annual meeting of the Japan-America Society held on the evening of February 5 in the Olympic Hotel in Olympia, Roberta McClary was awarded the first place trophy for her Haiku entered in the contest sponsored by the group. Haiku is an unrhymed Japanese verse form in which a mood is created in three lines, the first of which contains five syllables; the second, seven syllables; and the third, five syllables. This is Mrs. McClary's winning Haiku: "Tiny little seed, What do you hold in your heart? Tell us your secret." Mrs. McClary and her husband Hal, who is vice president and general manager with Simpson International, have been for approximately nine years members of the Japan-America Society which has been developed to promote friendly relations, mutual understanding and cultural exchange between the two nations. Roberta McClary has made five trips to Japan, and since the first one has been studying Japanese art and literature. She had not previously entered a competition. She has for the past 15 years been a member of a book discussion Class at the Women's University Club and during 1968 and 1969 Japanese classical and contemporary literature was studied. In 1963 the McClarys brought from Japan Keiko Fujimura, who lary' ai lived with them as a daughter for two and a half years while attending the University of Washington and taking a degree in anthropology. She is one of five Oriental students that have been sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Hal McClary. Roberta McClary has been a resident of this area since 1955, ROUND THE ins A rolyn Ragan Recommends Fancy Seven Layer Torte Carolyn and John Ragan and their children, Craig and Debbie, live high on a landscaped hill in a wide-windowed home overlooking the waters of Hammersley lnlet.

They are friendly and talkative, dedicated to the project of slug-eradication, and at present busily engaged in sharing the responsibilities of a nestful of eggs. Craig, who is eight years old, and Debbie, who is seven, await the hatching with eagerness, and what is of interest to the children is of interest to Carolyn and John. The Ragans follow many recreational pursuits as a family, one of which is travel. They not only believe in seeing America first, but in seeing Washington first of all. "Washington," says Carolyn, "abounds in points of interest and beauty; we want to see them." It is their habit to take short but leisurely trips, and to make them frequently. They all like to swim, and do so as a group; each of them owns a bicycle, and they enjoy bicycling as a family; they all like horses and often ride together at Lake Limerick. When her children were younger, Mrs. Ragan was very active in pre-school. One of her main interests now is the Mary Bridge Orthopedic Guild, to which she gives much of her time and effort. She is a member of the t]ospital Auxiliary, and she belongs to the Southside PTO and to the Republican Women's Club. She is also affiliated with an all-women investment club composed of 20 women throughout the county who meet to study the market, to learn the various principles of investing, and to invest funds as a group. The organization was started about four years ago, according to Mrs. Ragan, which was a year after her husband became interested in a similar club for men. The women, she states, are competing quiet successfully and minutes, or until light brown, watching carefully.

Collection Betty Bell acquired her first B~lI'30 years ago, w~abfi She married her husband, Curtis. Since then she has collected glass bells, china bells, wooden bells, bells of metal, pottery, cloth; almost every sort of bell imaginable, old and new; there are over 1 O0 of them. She has made a study of bells, and gives talks on the subject while displaying her collection. Money raised in this manner is donated to a fund for the preservation and restoration of St. Hugh's Episcopal church in Allyn, which was last week deeded to the Episcopal Diocese. Although in need of paint and repairs, services are held in the church every Sunday with the Rev. Donald Maddux officiating. Mrs. Bell is scheduled to speak at the Republican Women's Club luncheon on Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Bell are retired teachers, and formerly resided in Fullerton, Calif., spending summers in their home in Grapeview, where they will now reside permanently. Agriculture Books Now Available Without Charge Congresswoman Julia Butler Hansen announces that 300 agriculture yearbooks for 1969 are available without charge to Third Congressional District residents. "This is a quality book on the subject of nutrition," said Congresswoman Hansen, who was graduated from the University of Washingtonwith a home economics degree. "Food - production, marketing, planning, preparation, and use - is described in the 400 pages. It is interesting and valuable reading." The first section tells the economics of food - from farm to supermarket.

Her recipe is a favorite for many reasons. She finds it a most convenient party dessert, as it can be made a day ahead; it may be made in several separate stages, which is very practical for a busy homemaker; and most of all, she says, in addition to being a joy to eat it is a beauty to behold when served on a fancy dish.
