    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup shortening
    1 cup brown sugar
    1 1/2 cups flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon soda
    1 3/4 cups quick-cooking oatmeal

    Recipe



    Thoroughly cream shortening and sugar; add sifted dry ingredients and oatmeal. Mix until crumbly. Firmly pat one-half the mixture in waxed-paper-lined 9x13 inch pan. Spread with date filling (see below).

    Add remaining crumbs and pat smooth. Bake in 350° oven for 30 min. Cut in bars or squares. Makes 20 bars.

    Date Filling: Cook 1 pound dates, pitted and cut, with 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to the consistency of jam.

    Tips: Margarine can be substituted for shortening.
    If using a glass 9x13 baking pan, reduce heat to 325°
