COOKS CORNER
By Hazel Shockey
Most everyone likes a moist, nut-sprinkled cake and this
one fills the bill, and makes a perfect dessert for family
meals, or to take to picnics or church dinners. A reminder
for the health conscious, if you are serving a rich, heavy
dessert, do so following a light meal to keep the calorie
count down. This cake takes about 25 minutes preparation
time, and 40 minutes baking time. Will stay moist for a few
days, can be frozen or stored in refrigerator.

Bill of Rights protects our freedoms
Even before the Constitution was
adopted, some people wanted to make
changes. They were worried about
their basic freedoms. There was a
vigorous debate before the first ten
amendments to the Constitution took
effect on Dec. 15,1791. Those amend-
ments are known as the Bill of Rights.
Since the Bill of Rights, the Con-
stitution has been amended 17 times,
most recently 13 years ago.
The Bill of Rights
The first four amendments outline
rights and responsibilities for citi-
zens.
These include freedom of speech
and religion, the need for militias and
right to bear arms.
There are safeguards for private
property.
The next three amendments de-
scribe the rights of those accused
of crimes and guarantee a jury trial
in civil lawsuits.
The Ninth Amendment says rights
cannot be denied just because they
are not listed in the Constitution.
The Tenth Amendment guarantees
to states all powers not specifically
given to the federal government.
holic beverages. It was ratified in
January 1919, followed by the violent
era called Prohibition. It was repealed
by the 21st Amendment in 1933.
It took just 14 months to ratify
the 19th Amendment, which guaran-
teed women the right to vote, on Aug.
18,1920.
After Franklin Roosevelt served
four terms, the 22nd Amendment lim-
ited a president to two terms.
The 24th Amendment, ratified in
1964, abolished poll taxes. The taxes
had been used by some states to deny
blacks the right to vote.
The 25th Amendment was passed
by Congress two years after the as-
sassination of President Kennedy. It
clarified the line of succession for
President and the procedure for re-
placing a vice president.
The 26th Amendment granted the
right to vote at age 18. It set a record
for speed of ratification, just over
three months. The nation was at war
when it was adopted in 1971. Young
people old enough to go to war got
the right to vote.
The 27th Amendment, on the other
hand, set the record for slow ratifi-
cation. It set a new procedure for
Congressional pay raises. It was ap-
proved by Congress in 1789, just two
years after the original Constitution.
But ratification by the states was not
completed until May 7,1992.
Next week the Kid will feature the
First Amendment, which guarantees
freedom of religion and speech.
Other Amendments
The 13th Amendment abolished
) slavery. The 15th guaranteed the
/ right to vote for former slaves.
The 16th Amendment created the
federal income tax. The 17th said
Senators would be elected by a vote
of the people. (Before that, states
determined how their senators would
be selected.) Both were ratified in
1913.
The 18th Amendment banned alco-
