Those good meats are so extra special that they deserve to make their return appear ances in dishes befitting their • splendor. Mac Blanche Spann aroni. spaghet _ ti and noodles Feas0 help to bring these meats back to dinner m a variety of eye-appealing, pal ate-pleasing entrees If the big Christmas dinner and other company meals made the budget see red, these three thrifty macaroni foods happily help you to put it back on the basic black side. For, although these durum wheat foods are high in body-building protein, they have remained low in cost, giving you a big return in food values for a small expendi ture of money. Since hot dishes made fi om macaroni are somewhat soft in texture, crisp salads and hard rolls go well with them. Oft'm, vegetables may be included in the main dish with the other in gredients. If not, a serving of brussel sprouts, cabbage, asparagus or other green vegetables is a worthwhile addition to the meal. Be sure to serve tur key's favorite companion, lus cious ruby - red cranberry sauce, TURKEY PUFF Four ounces spaghetti, two cups hot milk, one cup soft bread crumbs, three-fourths tea spoon salt, dash pepper, three tablespoons melted butter or margarine, two egg yolks (slightly beaten), two egg whites (stiffly beaten), one cup cooked turkey or chicken. Sandhill Sal Sandhill Sal feels about as brilliant today as a lump of coal. My head is as empty as a naughty boy’s stocking. At some colleges if you’re ex pert with the pigskin you don’t have to worry too much about getting the sheepskin. If a person sees spots before his eyes, he is bilious says the doctors’ columns. Not necessar ily. He may be shooting dice or she may be wearing a polka dot dress. / Class those people who ask you if it’s cold enough for you today with the ones who ask you cheerfully, “How are you" and would never know the dif ference if you answered, “pixi lated." Next year I am going to buy Santa Claus a pair of bifocals. Because I don’t think he can read right. This year, I’m sure, he is not going to bring me, again, that new house I asked for. Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water until tender about 7 minutes). Drain and rinse. While spaghetti is cooking pour milk over bread crumbs. Let stand 10 minutes. Add salt, pep per. butter or margarine, and egg yolks. Fold in egg whites. Carefully fold in cooked spa gnetti and turkey and pour in to greased 8-inch square pan. Bake in moderate oven (50 F) 50 to 60 minutes. Serve hot with creamed vegetable sauce or mushroom sauce. Makes four servings. —tfw— Subscription Winners— Along with all the other holi day fun this year, these two readers win three-months’ sub scriptions to The Frontier with letters. They’re from “Just a School Teacher,” of Lynch, and also Mrs. Alfred Ross, of Gen eva Dear Mrs. Pease: I read The Frontier weekly. I enjoy it immensely. Your Col umn is indeed interesting as well as instructive. You say you need letters so will write one in payment for the many helps I have received. I am a school teacher. Witii Thanksgiving over our problems at school change to programs, Christmas gifts for mothers, dec orations and so on. This in ad dition to the full program of work we already are following. Last year we made decora tive bread boards as gifts for the mothers. This year we are making a pretty table center piece for each mother. We used burned-out light bulbs in various sizes. We en ameled the bulbs a variety of colors—green, yellow, red, alum inum, etc. Some of the enamel- | ••d bulbs are sprinkled with ar- | tificial snow, others when dry, i are painted with various designs of various colors. Then we firmly fit a piece of green painted wood, desired height, into the tube of an an gel food cake pan. Into this piece of wood drive nails as you have a hall tree effect. Punch a hole into the brass neck of each bulb and slip the bulbs on these nails arranging bulbs in an attractive manner according to size and color. Either paint or paste decora tive paper around the outside of the pan. Fill pan with nuts, hard candies, etc. Place the pan on a round mirror. It is very pretty for a center-piece on the table. Have I made this clear? The youngsters love to work on these projects.
