 The Ladies Auxiliary Cook Book, O.R.T. Eleanor Ellison No. 36, Los Angeles, 1934, CAL-8.

Occasionally I like to do a little research on an indexed book to see what the organization represents, especially one containing an unknown acronym. In this case, one possibility is a present-day organization called ORT America. The following is from its website: In 1880 a group of Russian Jews petitioned Czar Alexander II for permission to start a fund to assist Jewish trade schools and establish new colonies, agricultural schools and model farms to help lift Russia’s five million Jews out of crushing poverty. A “Society for Trades and Agricultural Labor” was created. The ORT acronym is derived from the original name Obschestvo Remeslenovo i. Zemledelcheskovo Trouda. Another possibility is that the group’s name has meaning only for its members. If anyone has other information regarding the O.R.T. Eleanor Ellison No. 36 Auxiliary please share that with me, penny.kailer@gmail.com. I will be happy to send copies of recipes.
