Directions
For base, beat shortening and sugar together until creamy.
Sift together flour, soda and salt.
Add to creamed mixture; blend well.
Stir in oats. (This mixture will be very dry and crumbly.)
Pat into a greased 11 x 7-inch baking pan.
For topping, beat eggs slightly.
Blend in remaining ingredients.
Pour over base.
Bake in preheated moderate oven (350℉/180℃) about 30 minutes.
Cool; cut in bars.
