The Frontier Woman —
Mother’s Day Shouldn’t Be Designated
Only by Calendar. Atkinson Woman Says
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, neighbors!
The clever cook who oper
ates under a somew'hat tight
food budget has learned what
cooperat i v e
helpers are the
durum wheat
trio of foods,
spagh e t t i,
noodles and
macar o n i.
During the
Lenten season
these foods
climbed t o
the top of
her list of
dependa b 1 e
foods. There
are several
reasons for this. One of the
most important is that thrifty
wheat foods are such easy ones
to combine with others. As the
macaroni foods are used to
form the base for main dishes
they add their own excellent
protein, yet let the cheese, sea
foods or vegetables do the real
flavoring job
A favorite is popular maca
roni and cheese. There are ma
ny, many other delicious com
binations, which will bocotrje
favorites after their first ap
pearances. For variety you
may like to try some of the
different shapes of macaroni,
spaghetti and noodles.
Another reason macaroni
dishes receive si*ch high hon
ors during Lent as well as oth
er times is that it is so easy
to choose accompaniment* that
go well with them. Green veg- !
o tables such as broccoli, aspar- \
agus, peas and beans, served
hot with butter ary wonderful
with a aoodie casserole, a spa
ghetti and seafood loaf or a
big macaroni salad. Other fa
vored accompaniments are crisp
| green salads and crunchy hard

Subscription Winners—
Today we have an excellent
letter from an Atkinson worn
an who signs herself "Dads and
Moms, Too.” And one of our
most faitkfu; contributors, Mrs.
Charley Ross, of Redbird, also
wins a 3-months’ subscription
to The Frontier.
Dear Frontier Woman:
Winter is slowly drawing to
a close. Next will be the hustle
and bustle of spring and sum
mer. Stopping to think, we
should ask: What have we
done to better ourselves or oth
ers?
We were too ouny all sum
mer to spend an evening in
our neighbor’s home just being
homey and friendly How ma
ny times have we done it this
winter? It isn’t too late yet. Do
up the dishes early or leave
’em in the sink, and drive over
to the neighbors. No fuss or
fixing, just be your friendly
self. It’s catching—friendliness,
I mean.
Oh yes, tomorrow is Moth
er’s day. (I hear arguments )
Alright, give me one good rea
son why it can’t he? Ever try
to make a list of all the things
your mother has done for you?
Can you repay her in one day?
So tomorrow I’m taking the
kids, with a cake and roast for
Sunday dinner, driving up to
Mom’s and I’ll wash and iron
the curtains. 5’li scrub and, wax
the floors and I'll wash and fix
her hair.
I'U go home that eve, oh a
wee bit tired, but feeling, oh

to good inside whan I think

she kissed the kiddies good
bye.
Speaking of kiddies, how
many times a day do you shout
“Don’t’’ at them when you
could just as easily spend 2
minutes instead and find out
j why they want to do it or
that they’d do it anyway? Juat
because Grandma aiways set
j the chairs just so, is it a crime
for a youngster to line them up
and crawl under them? Maybe
they are a big suspension
bridge, or maybe the child b
crawling through the biggest
hole in the world. Their minds
and imagination* are miles a
head of us, so let’s think twice
before we shout that ugly
“Don’t.” Take time out to be
one of them, to love them, to
stay young. Show them that

Mrs. Roes'* Letter
Dear Banrhe:
While I wait for the 1ft o'
clock news tonight. 111 scratch
a few lines to our page As 1
really do enjoy al the letters,
too Glad to see a Lynch friend
has won a 3-months’ suhccrip
tion, and must try her dough
nut recipe, a* it does sound to
good
Yet, Sandhi fi M says, the
beat way of reducing is to turn
the hear! from left to right and
I’m sure she is right.
I’ll hand out a little tip on
working the hens Into laying
more eggs Yes, T can just bear
the farmer’s wife say: "Now
why do that a* they are hardly
worth hauling off now?"
Well, here it is anyway;
As most ever gone knows,
an egg is over 60 percent wa
ter, yet I put a teaspoon of
satt in about 1*A gallons of
milk and give that to my
three do*en hens in the
morning, and it makes them
drink that In a hurry and
want mora.
So I add another teaspoon of
salt to a pail of water and give
that to them, they like it and
reatch for moTe. ft*- sure and
keep oyster shell before them,
too.
> 1 forgot that a short while
ago, so I wondered why the
I drop in production so quickly
; and soon found it wm my own
; mistake,
1 have been canning squash
; for summer use* as my good
daughter and family raised an
extra supply. Results, I got
some good eating, too, 1 cook
it as I would for the table, on
ly J don't put anything In it,
hut 1 teaspoon salt to each
quart of squash, then put It
in the water bath, if 1 use
quart jars, as my pressure
I cooker ho*ds only pint*. So I
boil the quarts in the water
hath for 1 yh hours. I use seal
tight lid* as they are sealed
before being put onto cook. But
1 usua ly try them again to
make sure they an* liglit. Next
summer the squash will taste
grand
Must tell you of a funny in
cident of several years ago
when girls wouldn't think of
being seen in overalls by the
public. My 2 daughters were,
playing some sort of dress re
hearsal and were dressed in
rm. —
their brother’s overalls. I
heard them coming downstairs
and as one of them got to the ^
bottom I knocked, on the kitch
en door, and then opened it
and said, Why, hello, come
on in.”
And 1 don't believe anyone
ever traveled any taster than
those girls did, right back
upstairs to where they cane
from, and got out of the ov
eralls and came back down
stairs with the look on each (
face of "Who in the world
came?"
Of course, I had a laugh and
so did they, to think they were
so badiy tooled. Now they can
wear their overalls and not get
so surprised.
If I should be lucky thic
time, just add it to my hus
band’s subscription as the pa
per comes in his name. Best of
iuck to all,
