Oleo Pastry (Margarine)
        
      2 c  lightly spooned flour
      1 t  salt
      1 T  sugar
     12 T  oleo
    1/4 c  cold water

Sift together flour, salt & sugar.  Cut half the mixture into the
oleo with a pastry blender or two table knives until the mixture
resembles cornmeal.  Cut the rest of the oleo until it resembles small
peas.  This makes a flakier crust.  Sprinkle the mixture with water,
adding enough extra to make pastry hold together.  Use a pastry blender
or fork because the heat of your hands will tned to melt the oleo.  Mix
just to moisten & form into a ball.  Let stand in the icebox for a few
minutes while you prepare the pie filling ingredients.  Or, wrap in
plastic & chill several hours or overnight.

ROLLING OUT: Divide the dough in half.  Roll bottom crust on a lightly
floured pastry cloth.  Roll out at least 1 inch wider than pie pan.  If
crust breaks, gently pinch together with fingers.  Always roll from
center outward.  Place in pie pan.
