The Frontier Woman — 1951 to Be a Year of Broken Families, Changing Homes and Sifting Sands By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Hi there, all you fat people ] How can you help but be plump -after all the good stuf f you ate at Christ mas time. It will be a holiday of eat ing long to re member, and, I suspect we shall not see anoth er like it for a good many ra tioned years to Blanche Spann come. Peas* Remem b e r what Robert Browning said: “The year is closed, the record made, the last deed done, the last word said, the memory alone remains. Of all its joys, its griefs, its gains, and with purpose full and clean-, I turn to meet another year." Now we must face this trying new year of 1951, and all that it will carry with it. It isn’t going to be much fun but if we try each day, we can enjoy a lot of pre cious commonplaces, share laughs and chuckles and savor the small things of living though it be in the midst of tears, stress and heartbreak. This will a year ol families being broken up, changing homes and sifting sands be neath the family lives that so many have striven so hard to build. The other day a woman wrote that today's young people know nothing of the thrills of pioneer life. Perhaps not, not the kind she referred, too, but the wives and mothers of World War II and III can write you a story of a different sort of pioneer. Of homes made out of tawdrincss and dirt because they couldn’t get anywhere else to live, of nev er enough money, of living with fear and only for today because there may be no tomorrows. Frankly, it is pretty smug of yesterday's gen-, i ation to speak as if they know all of pioneeiing and today’s generation still meets its own challenges. We teach our youth to dream its dreams, yet we do not give it any time to make them come true. About all most veterans of the last war have had time to get ahead is a family. One day our youth is young, and then we have etched in its face the drawn lines of blood, battle and beast liness. And the very people who yell the loudest are likely to have been the ones who were too busy to go to the polls to vote or too busy to try to actually inform themselves as to how to vote. Well, enough of that. — tfw — From Grim Talk To Cranberry Icing— Every try cranberry icing? It’s very pretty on a spice cake and good, too. CRANBERRY ICING Boil lVi cups sugar, pinch of cream of tartar and Vfe cup 10 minute cranberry sauce in sauce j pan until syrup forms a soft ball in cold water, 238 F. Pour slowly onto two whipped egg whites, beating constantly. Add pink vegetable coloring to give deli caite tint. Continue beating until icing holds its shape. Spread be tween and on top of cake layers. CRANBERRY TAPIOCA This is a very pretty dessert. It calls for three tablespoons quick cooking tapioca, one-third cup sugar, Y4 teaspoon salt. Two cups boiling water, one 10-min ute cranberry sauce, two table spoons orange juice, one teaspoon grated orange rind, one cup cream, whipped. Combine tapio ca, sugar, salt and water in sauce pan and blend. Bring mixture quickly to a full boil over direct heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heart and add 10-minute cranberry sauce, orange juke and rind. Chill. Then fold in whipped cream. Serves six to eight. — tfw — Mrs. Van Every Has 2 Recipes— Mrs. Kenneth Van Every, of O'Neill, wins one of our three months’ subscriptions this week: O’Neill, Nebr. December 11, 1950 Dear Mrs. Pease. I am sending you my favorite chocolate cake recipe and icing. CHOCOLATE CAKE Measure into mixing bowl: Two cups sifted flour, two cups sugar, ^2 cup shortening, one teaspoon salt, 1 % teaspoon soda, I three squares melted chocolate, */4 cup milk. Blend by hand or | mixer (medium speed) for two minutes. Stir in ht teaspoon bak ing powder. Add ks cup milk, three eggs, one teaspoon vanilla. Blend thoroughly. Pour into two 9-inch layer pans (lVi” deep) which have been greased and flouted or lined with wax paper. : If smaller pans are used fill half ' full; bake remaining batter in cup cake pans. Bake in moderate oven (350F) about 40 minutes. Note; If desired, bake in cup cakes greased and lined with pa per. Makes about 30 medium cup cakes. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes. SPEEDY CHOCOLATE FROSTING Melt two squares (20 - ounces) chocolate in one-third cup top milk or cream with three tablespoons butter. Remove from heat and add one-eighth table spoon salt and one tablespoon vanilla. Add enough sifted con fectioner’s sugar until thick e nough to spread, about three cups. Thin with additional milk or cream if necessary. I always have good luck with these recipes. Yours truly, MRS. KENNETH VAN EVERY —tfw— Lynch Woman Is Winner— Mrs. L. H. Hoy, of Lynch, wins our second three-months’ sub scription to The Frontier: Lynch, Nebr. Dear Blanche: Christmas will no doubt be a memory by this time this letter is printed (if it is). I am glad the story of Jesus thrills my soul even after the beautiful season of Christmas is past. We have had sadness in our family, so at present, the gaiety of the yule season has lost part of its color. But all-in-all a little heartache makes one more thoughtful for the comfort of Him who came one Christmas day long ago. I made a few sugar cookies cut in fancy designs. How the eyes of my little one did sparkle at the sight of green Christmas trees with candy lights, yellow stars, and cute little frosted San ta faces! One’s babies grow up so fast while work keeps repeat ing, so why not fill those little lives with precious memories of a happy childhood? The teacher requested that names appear in your column. I wondered where her example be gan. (Editor’s note: Mrs. Hoy refers to a writer who said she thought j all should sign their names to letters but signed a pen name to her own ) No doubt she felt her inferior ity just as we all do but after all we readers are just common folks who expect common letters with familiar names. Last week our church made special note to pray for the Tiai man-Atlee meeting. The prayers of one church probably will have , little bearing but what might have j been accomplished has the nation as a whole trusting God for these leaders’ decisions. America needs to awaken. A letter wouldn’t seem quite complete without a recipe so here is a seasonal one which can he enjoyed almost any winter evening. CARMEL popcorn Three quarts popped corn, one cup brown sugar, one-third cup dark syrup, Vi toaspoone salt, one teaspoon vanilla. Cook sugar, syrup and water to crack stage 270F. by thermometer. Add flav or and pour slowly over corn. 1 Maybe made in balls if desired. ' This gets more crisp as it cools MRS. L. H.
