    This recipe is from my father-in-law Ed Stang. He just dumped in
   whatever goodies are on hand; they always taste great.
   
    Preheat oven to 350ø.
   
    In a medium bowl add all-purpose and whole wheat flours, baking
   powder and salt. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugars; blend
   in eggs and vanilla. Beat well.
   
    Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add oats, fruit, nuts and chocolate
   bits; mix in thoroughly. Dough will be crumbly.
   
    Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets, using fingers to
   shape together. Bake at 350ø about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
   Remove to rack to cool.
