i
ida Hyatt, for the past two
years a senior vice-president of
the auxiliary to the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, came to Shelton
approximately ten years ago.
In Everett, her former home,
she held office in the auxiliary to
VFW Post No. 2100. Although
she still holds membership in the
Ladies of the Moose and in the
Eagles auxiliary, both in Everett,
it is the local VFW auxiliary that
now claims much of her interest
and many of her efforts.
"The VFW auxiliary initiated
a new project last Christmas," she
states, "when we gave a party at
Fir Lane Terrace Convalescent
Center. My assistants were Andrea
Jones and ldeUa Rutherford.
"Thes two ladies and Ann
French," she continues, "helped
with the Valentine party also
held in the nursing home."
Several times each year Mrs.
Hyatt makes a visitation to
Western Washington State
Hospital.
"A party will be held there in
April," she says, "and also
another in Fir Lane Terrace
Convalescent Center. Auxiliary
members donate all foods for the
events in the state hospital."
Mrs. Hyatt, born in Moxee,
Washington, is retired from
Simpson Timber Company. Her
husband, Eugene, is retired from
Washington Corrections Center.
They have a son, three
grandchildren and four
great-grandchildren.
"'All four generations were
born in Yakima County," Mrs.
Hyatt states.
Ida Hyatt bowls twice weekly
and is an enthusiastic participant
in a card club. Houseplants and
handicrafts are among her
hobbies.
Her pillows fashioned from
yam pompons are soft and thick
and colorful. She makes swans of
nylon net, she crochets and knits.
She shares with her husband the
labott &nd the pleasures of a
boautifully landscaped lawn" and
an extensive vegetable garden.
Mrs. Hyatt is an inventive
cook. She bakes a ~ide variety of
original breads, and her
experimentations with foods have
resulted in many unusual and
delectable dishes.
One of her favorite desserts
calls for a package of instant
pudding mix (any flavor), one
envelope of whipped topping mix
and two cups of milk beaten
thoroughly and poured into a
mold or into a graham cracker
crust. Her own variation tops the
pudding with crumbled graham
crackers and sliced bananas.
She makes her lemon
cheesecake with instant pudding
mix. Into eight ounces of
well-softened cream cheese she
blends a half cup of milk. When
the mixture is smooth she adds
one and a half cups of milk and a
package of lemon-flavored instant
pudding mix. Mrs. Hyatt beats the
concoction slowly for a full

PROTEIN CONDITIONER
Q. What's the difference
etween a cream rinse
conditioner and a protein
conditione r?
A. A cream rinse
conditioner is designed to
remove snarls, tangles, and
frizz the hair so that it will be
easier to comb after it has been
shampooed.
A cream rinse has some
conditioning action, but it
works primarily on the surface
of the hair.
A protein conditioner is
designed to strengthen hair by
adding protein and oils.
This type of conditioner
actually penetrates the hair
shaft and works from within, it
is especially designed for hair
that has been dried out, has
damaged ends, or is generally
"tired"-looking.

minutes, using either a rotary
beater or an electric mixer.
"Pour at once into a baked
and cooled nine-inch graham
cracker crust," she directs, "and
chill the cheesecake for an hour
before serving."
For shortbread she mixes
together and kneads a cup of
butter, two cups of flour, a half
cup of either granulated or
powdered sugar and a pinch of
salt. Rolled into balls, the
shortbread is baked at 350
degrees for 15 minutes.
Ida Hyatt has a large
collection of recipes, many of
which are very old. More than
125 years ago, tallow pie was a
holiday delicacy.
