OFFICERS OF YOUTH NARC are Nancy Eveleth,
secretary; Marilyn Mounts, vice-president; and Sandy Stone,
It is both a pleasure and duty
for Clara Rosenberg to visit
patients in local hospitals and
nursing homes. She is the
appointed Hospital Chairman for
the ladies' auxiliary to the
Veterans of World War I Madrona
Barracks No. 1462, and in her
official capacity she has spent
several hours weekly in the Fir
Lane Terrace Convalescent Center
where she became interested in
the life story of a colorful
resident, Julia Batrin.
To Mrs. Rosenberg is
extended full credit for the
collecting of the information
upon which the following article
is based.
Julia Batrin
Her mother was Roumanian
but had been raised in Vienna,
meeting and marrying her Russian
and from January 7 to January 14
they sang and they danced and
special cakes were eaten, but no
gifts were exchanged.
Julia's father was very firm
about this. "The Christ child,"
said Mr. Molinsky, "In whose
name we are celebrating, was very
poor. It would not be fitting for
us to make a big display of gifts."
The Christmas baking in
Julia's childhood home included
the fashioning of many different
cakes created from a basic sweet
yeast dough. Julia has fond
memories of "Machovichi", a
poppy seed cake, and of
"Lekver", which had a plum jelly
filling. "Losha" was a honey cake;
"Kolache" was a cheese cake; and
"Krusiki" were fried squares of
dough, one corner of which had
been pulled through a slit. They
were similar to the Norwegian
At her mother's knee Julia
learned not only the cookery but
also the fashioning of the wearing
apparel of the Old World. The
style of dress common in the
youth of her mother and her
contemporaries was similar to
that known to us today as
"peasant costumes". Skirts were
full and black and were trimmed
with bands of tape which were
usually red. Aprons were made of
coarse white homespun brilliant
with crisscross embroidery.
Bodices were laced, and for
parties the everyday black laces
were replaced with ones of gold.
Julia was wedded to a man
from Serbia, and for many years
the Batrins made their home in
Camden Hills, a Pennsylvania
village largely inhabited by
Serbians with a sprinkling of Poles
and Russians. With their two

Divide dough into three parts, and
roll out very thin on floured
canvas; brush with melted butter
and on it spread the filling in an

all sides for sealing. Roll and seal
edges, and place on large baking

walnuts in the shell were tossed in
the air within the home and
allowed to remain where they fell.
Hay was strewn over the nuts,
