t Die Frontier Woman — ‘Housewife Anonymous’ Can’t Sing Like Margaret but Can Herd and Carry a Pig By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there, all you folk. Octo ber all ready! Time goes flit ting along without asking our consent, we get older and some of us fatter every day. Good ness, there ought to be a law ncrain«:t it* If time and eating keep up we're apt to look like a nation of Humphrey Pennyworths, huh? It does n’t make a woman good natured t o find out she's g a i n e d 5 pounds. Just ask sandhill Sal. She'll tell you. One of these cold • nights it Blanch. Spann “££.23 ***** a, steam i n g oyster stew for supper. Here's the way they made it a long time ago and the method is just as good as it ever was. OYSTER STEW One pint oysters (with liqu or), Vi cup butter or margarine, 1 cup light cream, scalded, 3 cups milk, scalded, pepper, Vi teaspoon salt, Vi teaspoon pap rika. Pick over oysters, then cook in butter or margarine and oyster liquor until edges curl. Add cream and milk. Heat to boiling and season. Serve at once with crackers. Want a different sort of bak ed apple to serve to the family or friends? Well here it is — baked stuffed apples — with a delicious, delectable stuffing. Six large red apples, 1 cup chopped bananas, 1 cup chop ped cranberries, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, chopped nut meats, whipped cream. Cut off the stem end of the apples, but do not peel therm. Remove all the core and part of the pulp leaving the walla of the cup about three-fourths inch thick. Mix bananas, cranberries, sug ar and cinnamon. Fill the cavi ties in the apples with this mix ture, cover with chopped nut meats, and bake at 350 F. until tender. Serve cold with a spoon ful of whipped cream on top of each apple. Want to try a different type of salad for a change? Then how about: FRUITED HAM SALAD You’ll need 2 cups diced cook ed smoke ham, 2 tablespoons orange juice, Ms cup seedless raisins, •% cup diced celery, Mi cup orange sections, Mr cup dic ed unpeeled apple, Vi cup diced sweet green pepper, 1-3 cup mayonnnai'se, 4 to 6 lettuce cups.

Serve crisp lettuce cups. Serves 4 to 6. —tfw— Subscription Winners— ‘ Housewife Anonymous” wins our 3-months’ subscription to day with a hilarious letter. The other one goes to ‘‘An O’Neill Reader”. Dear Frontier Woman: Ever listen to those hot air philosophers on the radio who try to lift up your thoughts and tiy to get you up out of your comfortable little rut? I listened lately to a bright boy who came up with this heartening thought, “What ev er you want to do or be, you CAN do or be, if you work hard enough at it.” Taint so. Here’s a list of things 1 can’t do: Paint a masterpiece. Sing like Margaret Truman Design chic and • charming costumes. Compose a moonlight sonata. Be a glamorous movie star. Dance like Gene Kelly. Write the book of the month Hold thousands spellbound with my oratory. Be president. Hunt big game. Pilot a B-36. Ride a bucking broncho In some rodeo. MONEY TO LOAN ON automobiles TRUCKS TRACTORS EQUIPMENT FURNITURE Central Finance Corp. C. E. Jones, Manager O'Naiil i Nebraska Be a deep sea diver. There’s a few other things I ; can’t do too, but on the other I hand there's somethings I can do: Paint the garage. Sing "Home on the Range’ so convincingly that my deaf little neighbor says, "My, you I oughta sing on the radio." Design and sew a few dash : ing dish towels. Crochet a mean pineapple. (Did I ever tell yo.M about that flower garden quilt I pieced?) Compose my own version of the "Bear Went Over the Moun tain’’ on the flute. Be a glamorous . .' • well, I use the right soap anyway! Dance, well, not much, nor often but when I do it’s with abandon and my husband. Write— not the book of the month but my name on the dotted line of evpry high pres sure salesman who comes to my door. Public speaking I do fine without an audience. Somehow, with one, I get short of breath and memory. He (was) president of our pro ject club once. Hunt big game? iNope. Hunt ed a lost pig once. Worse luck, I found him and had to carry him home. Guess how? Right. Piggy back, Pilot (herd’s the word) the family car. Ride mostly not a broncho but the back seat of our keen machine- I drive best from there. Deep sea diving? Well, I make a 3 point landing 3 times a day in the dish pan. Maybe il.hat doesn’t take practice or skill but it does take determin ation. Then I can—I can . . . hey, that man’s right. I CAN do all those things and lots more. Why am I wasting my time and tal ent in Holt county? Hollywood, here I come. “HOUSEWIFE ANONYMOUS” We need more letters like the delightfully daffy one above. Why don’t some of the rest of you try your luck at that sort of thing. —tfw— O'Neill Reader's Letter— Dear Mrs. Pease: Hasn't this been a wonderful summer? No hot canning days and my fruit cupboard really looks good with all the canned vegetables, fruits and jellies. Most anything you can mention that we grow in this locality. There will not be any canned goods shortage at our house. And our locker is chock full, strawberries, chicken, etc. My flowers have been unusually nice this summer, too. The zinnias, petunias, gladi olias, and all my perennials have bloomed all summer and are still blooming beautifully. Guess it’s because we haven’t had u single day of hot south wind this summer. I am going to can tomato soup today. We like it much better than any tomato soup that you can buy. Open a jar, add a little soda, some hot tmalk and a chunk of butter and its good. Will send the recipe if some onb else cares to try it. Several of my friends made it last year and want to make lots more this vear. TOMATO SOUP Fourteen quarts tomatoes, j sliced but not peeled, 14 bay j leaves, 21 cloves, 12 sprays par- I I sley. 1 teaspoon celery seed, 7 medium onions. Boil together and run through sieve. Now add : 12 tablespoons (lour 10 table spoons sugar, 8 tablespoons salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, *4 teaspoon red pepper. Make thickening, and add.

Cook apricots in water until tender, drain. Combine sugar, salt, flour and one cup liquid from (Continued on page 7.) SANDHILL SAL — Reinforce your argument in- j stead of raising your voice. If you want to be disillusion ed about the human race, ask any dozen members of your club which they think is most im portant a good meal or a good j speech. I see no reason for a fly—but doubtless would if flies were I. Peace—wasn’t it wonderful? w Perrigo Visual Clinic ** DR. FRED M. PERRIGO DR. MAX L.
