The Frontier Woman — ‘Little Discussed in Modern Home Except • Material, Economic, Social Subjects’ ■ By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there, all you busy, busy bustling people. Finishing up the tag end of canning, gatherihg in the g&v den sass before frost, making catsup and chili sauce, packing school lunches, you’re so busy you hardly know which way you’re going! Don t I know? In deed, I do! I’m just that busy, too, and that’s the honest truth. When you are so busy, why don’t you serve fresh fruit in stead of a more fancy fruit for des sert? A cen terpiece of fresh apples, pears, grapes and peaches can be very beautiful and the family will have a choice- of the q____ fresh fruit Blanch* Spann they prefer. P*as* The fruits will be very good for them and rep resent less work for you. So serve the fresh fruits simply while you can and save time, too. Add a tablespoon of minute tapioca to the next fruit pie you make. It will absorb excess juice and makes for better flavor than using flour. The filling will be thickened the way you want it. You can us* it to thicken cream soups, too. Just a sprin kle will do it. And did you know you can us* quick tapio ca in souffles to keep them from flopping on their pans Better clip this one for then: true! How about a pineapple sponge pudding when you’ve got the canning all done up and the fall housecleaning complet ed. Then you’ll have time for desserts that take more time. PINEAPPLE SPONGE PUDDING One-fourth cup quick tapioca, 2/3 cup sugar, V4 teaspoon salt, Vi cup milk, 6 tablespoons but ter, 2/3 cup canned pineapple juice, Vi cup lemon juice, % teaspoon grated lemon rind, 2/3 cup canned crushed pineapple, 3 egg yolks, beaten until thick, 3 egg whites stiffly beaten. Combine quick tapioca, sugar, salt and milk in sauce pan. Place over medium heat and cook un til mixture comes to a full boil, stirring constantly. Remove from neat. Add butter, pineap ple juice, lemon juice, lemon rind, and pineapple. Cool slight ly while beating eggs. Add egg yolks and mix well. Add very gradually to egg whites, folding in thoroughly.

Dear Mrs. Pease: It is about time for me to write another letter. I enjoy your column in The Frontier, but I do think we as Americans spend too much time thinking of our stomachs, instead of stressing the fundamental prob- : lems of life. I just finished reading an article written by J. Edgar Hoover in which he givas facts that parents should con sider in choosing schools for children. 1. Do they stress the faith of our fathers and a universal ac- | ceptance of the Supreme Being? 2. Personality, I think the home has failed more than the schools. Most teachers have laith in a Supreme Being but are prohibited by the laws of the land to instruct children in re ligious facts, but mothers and loiners still nave that privilege in these United States and had better avail themselves of this opportunity before it is too late, as m nussia ioaay. Mr. Hoover observed: "The crime problem is a youth prob lem. This is not a comforting tnought when we realize that our nation marches forward on the feet of its youth.” He blames the home and says: “The American home is no long er a center of life as it once was in our nation. It has too fre quently ceased to wield its in fluence for good, and America is beginning to pay the price.” tie continues: “Our national debt could be liquidated in less than a generation if we could divert the cost of crime to the United States treasury.” The question is: Why is the home no longer an influence for good? First, the parents went through schools where they re ceived no religious or moral in structions whatsoever. Second ly, they do not practice their religion earnestly and consist ently and therefore their example is detrimental to chil dren. The home has become purely secular, little is discuss ed in it except things material, economic and social. Hoover quotes the average mother’s standards when he notes: “Sewing circles are out and bridge games, cocktail par ties and beauty shops are in. The mothers of today go in for glamour instead of being moth | ers. Babies and small children are taken care of by jitterbugs who entertain their beaux while mother and father are out until midnight doing anything but 1 taking care of their children.” Instead of allowing lheir children fo patronise ques tionable amusement places. Hoover believes that parents should single these out as tar gets for an aroused public opinion. Finally, Mr. Hoover com nents: “Crime cannot be con rolled by a single panacea. One hing, however, is evident. It nusi be attacked at the cross roads and in the grassroots of he land. Every home in the na lon must become a sentry post igainst its evils. “The hope of the world lies ! n a return to the faith of our j lathers and universal accept- 1 mce of a Supreme Being, who j juiaes our destiny. The home, ;he school and the church are nseparable in working for the goal of a crime free world.” ‘EX-SCHOOL MAM.” —tfw— Sends Pickle Recipe— Stuart, Nebr. Dear Friend: I’ve been going to write for several weeks but just couldn’t get to it. It’s been such a fun ny summer as you all know. Seems like there is so much to io all the time but I dont’ get too much done. One thing, we haven’t suffer 'd very much with the heat. It was plenty hot today but we surely need it to get the hay iry. It doesn’t look like we are iver going to get done. School is almost ready to start. It does n’t seem possible. We will be moving about that lime. It gives me a thrill, then igain I feel kind of sad. I guess Decause there’s so much here ;hat interests me and so many good friends. I’ve lived around nere most all of my life, where [’m going I won’t know anyone. But I'm going to try to fit in if I can. I muit like it as it is going to be my home and the children will havp a much better chance for schooling. I’m not doing much canning, as it’s too far to move it. I have been doing lots of sewing. I am enclosing a recipe that might help: DILL PICKLES Two tablespoons salt, 1 cup vinegar, 2 cups water, 2 table spoons sugar, pinch alum. Place some onion, sugar and alum in a 2-quart jar. Put the cucumbers in, heat salt, vinegar and water and pour over and seal. (Note: Mrs. Timmermans doesn’t say so, but I’m sure she wants a couple of heads of dill in with those cucumbers, too.) TURMERIC PICKLES To 1 gallon of sliced cucum bei add 6 or 7 sliced onions. Let stand in salt water for 2 hours. Drain, then add 2 cups sugar, 2 teaspoons mustard seed, 2 teaspoons turmeric, 1 teaspoon cloves. Boil 5 minutes and seal. STRING BEANS Boil beans until tender in salted water. Then put in frying pan some meat fryings, about 2 heaping tablespoons flour and brown, then add about Vi cup sugar and Vi cup vinegar. Poui over beans and serve. MRS. J. C. UOE) TIMMERMANS —irw— We Need Your Letters— We definitely need your let ters for use in The Frontier Woman. But honestly folks, 1 do wish you would send a bit more of a letter than just a ie cipe. Some of you are just sit ting down and copying a recipe, writing a couple of lines and feeling you’ve written a letter. I feel as if everyone must have at least 2 good seasonable reci pes they could share with us. And maybe a hint. So when you write, won’t you try to make your letters a bit longer and more interesting? You can do it easily. Of course your letters need n’t contain recipes or hints but may be on some other subject. But do try to make them worth while As an editor, it gripes me to award a subscription for just a lone recipe. , Each week we give 3-months subscriptions to readers who contribute to our department. If your letter is used, you will receive a 3-months subscription to The Frontier. Send your letters to Mrs. Blanche Pease, The Frontier Woman, Atkinson,, Nebr. DR. GILDERSLEEVE.

Fold 2 tablespoons red cinnamon candies into cooled vanilla mix pudding. Sprinkle candies on top. Serve while their eyes sparkle. For a cool dessert with a cool look—mold lemon gelatine in a shallow pan then cut in cubes. Pile into sherbet glasses with 2 cups of diced, mixed fruit. Top with cream, if you wish. The next time you make rhu barb pie, add minute tapioca to absorbe the juice, a table spoon full. And for flavor, add a teaspoonful of orange rind. SANDHILL SAL Some folks are always as ner vous as a skinny girl in a strap less evening gown. Somebody asked Sal the oth er day what she would do if somebody gave her a million dollars. Well, first, I’d count it. Then Uncle Sam would. We saw in the paper the other day where a football player ran around his own end. We don’t think it can be done! Ha! Personality is a very wonder ful thing. It enables lots of peo ple to get by on banana oil, while the rest of us have to use plain old fashioned elbow grease. Luck is what some people say you have when your years of preparation meet a golden op portunity.
