The Frontier Woman — Reader Suggests Sharing Each Other’s Burden During New Strife in World By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there, all you interesting folks! Second week in Augusl already gone, most folks haying like fury, and gardens paying folks back for all the hard work they put in earlier in the year. A busy time but a satisfying 4ime, too, when you stop to think about it It's a satisfying time in our yard. Some of the investments of the time past are bear ing fruit. For 2 years now I have been trying to get some clumps of colored phlox started. Two years a go I bought 16 differe n t kinds only to lose most of them due to the awful weather we had that spring, Th is spring I tried again, buy ing fewer phlox and all of them lived and most of them are blooming. A friend gave me several clumps of purple a couple of years ago, but I want ed more colors, for in late July and August the yard need bril liant colors spotted in the bor der I bought pink Charm, San Antonio, blue boy, and salmon beauty, also some others for which I can’t find identifica tion. I Pink charm and bright •yet are as luscious as you could ask for and several others are In bud. A white Even me by a friend is also bloom. Gosh, I wish I had 2 or 3 doz en of such clumps, if only they were not eo expensive. I plan to buy more next spring and try and get (more color in the border. Day lilies proved to be an excellent investment, too. I have them now in all shades of yellows and oranges from a cool lemon ice color, to a rich orange that is tinged with a brick red. And several kinds of reds that were a gift from a flower-lover at Norfolk and which have brought me more pleasure than I can say. For me flowers are of never ceasing interest. The dividends they pay are so delightful. Hav ing a yard and blossoms every day to enjoy is just a dream come true. I always wanted a yard and flowers so that own ing our own farm and having a yard to work in truly has been a dream came true. —tfw— Subscription Winners— Mrs. L. H Hoy, of Lynch, and “A Constant Reader,” of Inman, are our 2 winners this week. Each have been award ed a 3-ffnonths’ subscription to The Frontier. Lynch, Nebr. Dear Blanche: Right now I’m "letting the | rest of the world go by.” Good ness only knows I have plenty to do to keep me busy but I really enjoy the recipe time with all The Frontier readers. I imagine you and all serious minded people feel a little or heavy tug on the heart strings since this Korean trouble has arisen, but just how far will each of us go to lift the load a little for the one next to him? When dad rips a feed sack, if mom discovers she didn’t pickup her purse after she's well on the way to town—how much happier does it make ei ther to crab about an uninten tioned mistake? Too, isn’t one happier and of lighter heart when he helps a fallen brother rather than talk about him? How about it. dear readers, let's give a smile a try. Since peach season is in full swing, I believe this peach marmalade will be an appro priate recipe. PEACH MARMALADE Two and one-half pounds of peaches, pared, pitted and chop ped, 3Vz cups sugar, Vz pint bottle of maraschino cherries. Combine peaches, sugar, syrup from the cherries and cook un til syrup sheets from a spoon. Then add the cherries, chop ped. Remove from heat, cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour into hot jars and seal. Did you know that one can obtain a vitamin C powder (as corbic acid or cevitamic acid) to add to frozen fruits to pre vent discoloration? We can obtain it at the place we get our freezer wrappings, etc. Here is a good way to can 6tring beans if you aren’t for tunate enough to have a freez er or pressure cooker: One gallon string beans, 2 tablespoons sugar, 3 table spoons salt, ¥4 cup vinegar, to prevent bacteria growth. Cook ; tender and add the above mix ' ture and cook 10 minutes more j and seal hot. Wish everyone would 6ign their names. Makes one feel [ closer and it’s more fun to try a recipe of a friend* Most of us j don't pretend to be writers so j we certainly can excuse clum ■ sy sentences. MRS. L. H. HOY (Editor’s note: Never use canned string beans without 1 cooking them 20 minutes after opening. It is really safest to use them only when pressure cooker canned.) —tf w— Reader Sends Carrot Pickle Recipe— Inman, Nebr.

Select ripe grapes, wash and crush. Steam or 6tew the pulp, and juice until the seeds can be easily removed by pressing through a colander. Add sugar to the pulp and juice and jook until thick and of a jelly like consistency. Pack while hot into hot sterilized jars and seal tightly at once. “Voice of The Frontier” . . 9:45 a.m., Mon., Wed., Sat SANDHILL SAL The hand everlastingly held upward, outstretched, seldom i has callouses on it. If women go by their intui ! tion, then why do they ask so many questions when their husbands come home late? Just because a person has a | tender heart is no reason to think that individual has a soft head. Lots of guys take a woman’s j hand in marriage and make | the mistake of not taking the thumb, too. That’s why she keeps* him under.
