The Frontier Woman — Blames Youngsters for Trend Toward Early Christmas Tree Decoration By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE • Greetings and salutations to j The Frontier readers. What goes on at your house this week? Some how the days seem awfully short at our place. Maybe its because 1 don’t get up as early as I should and sit blanche Spann up late reading Pease books. I managed to read four the past two weeks, which is about my usual quota when I get a book-reading spasm. For years I read that many books every week and even used to do a book re view column, too. Ah me, where did I get all my energy? I’m get ting old. If you dote on history, you would like "The Peabody Sisters of Salem”, I betcha. Written by Louise Hall Tharp, it is the chronicle of an early day New England. Two of the Peabody sisters married famous New Eng land men, one Horace Mann, the educator, and the other, Haw thorne, the author. Elizabeth Peabody, another of the sisters, was famous for her work in ed ucation and kindergarden work. The footnotes are almost as inlereesting as the story. It's a good book but requires time to read. John Steinbeck’s “The Way ward Bus” is another thing en tirely. It is a book quickly read, and if you are not a voracious reader, it is one a little hard to digest. The book concerns a set of passengers on a bus and the little wayside cafe at which they stopped. Steinbeck has done one of his usual jobs of sex and 1 what makes people what they are. It won’t compare with Stein beck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” but is so far better than his lat- j est muck, “Into the Country” | that it sounds good after just reading his latest. Stinker is the best way I can think of to describe Steinbeck's latest book, for it proved to be a clinker even with those who buy books solely to read sex. Seems to me that I have read an awful lot of books lately with Cuban backgrounds, or Spanish, or books of such revolutions with a southern United States back ground. Such a story is Robert Lunds “The Hour of Glory.” This is the story of a vagabond Am erican, Peter’Borne, who became Governor of Guam, around 1900, his rise and eventual downfall. It is interesting reading, but shows a happy man becoming a physchological problem. When you strive to do things, to pro mote, to build, then contentment and inner peace is gne in the striving. Perhaps some of my readers have read some good books late ly. You might like to write and tell us about them. It should make a welcome change from the montony of the usual household letter. ■—tfw— Overworked Pen Name— “Mom”, of Atkinson, wins a three-months’ subscription to The Frontier. Incidentally too many of you are using this pen name in our department. Why not each of you think up something dif ferent. Dear Blanche: Well, another Christmas has come and gone. Isn’t it strange that as one gets older time seems to go so much faster. When we were young it always seemed that the holidays would never come. We always have an argument at our house over when to put up the tree and when to take take it down. The children are always in a hurry to get it up and mom is always in a hurry to take it down. We all do enjoy the lights so much on the tree. They are so pretty. Next year I’d like our regular lights and a small tree with blue lights and silver icicles only. The girls got dolls again this year. Each year I swear no more dolls, but each year I weaken since that is all they really want. They still have their old dolls only a little the worse for wear. I guess we’ll have to move out and give the house to the dolls. The children each bought pres ents for everyone this year all by themselves. We were amused at how carefully they shopped and then wrapped so no one would peek. We’ve all been having a lot of fun playing games the children got for Christmas. Especially a ring toss game like horse shoe. When one of the girls gets behind she won’t let the other one quit until she catches up. Dad was so sure he could beat everybody but his hand isn’t as steady or his eyes quite as good as they used to be. That really tickled the children. By some miracle, mom could do pretty good. I wanted to tell you of the method we used for a Christmas tree holder. For several years we have used a near gallon fruit can and put some water in the bot tom, then put in the tree and put in a cement mixture. We like this because it keeps the tree from drying out, it's heavy and won't upset and al so because I like to put the tree up off the floor. I set it on a box or large can or pail and decorate it and it looks pretty. This year we didn’t have any cement on hand when we put up me tree so my husband got a block of wood, bored a hole in it the size of the tree and put the tree in. It worked nice, was easy to cover and i kept putting a little | water in and around the tree and j it still hasn’t dried out. ‘MOM” SANDHILL SAL Thousands of American boys have lost their lives because our state department does not want to lose face in Korea. Some folks love to go to Niaga ra Falls and some go to Niagara Falls to love. All the holdups are not done with guns. Lots of women can make a man come across with the dough just by looking at him. What with many inductions coming on and reserves being called up, soldiers’ wives will soon be singing that old song made so unpopular the last time: ‘‘Be it ever so humble there’s no place . . .” DELOIT NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Tomjack and Mrs. Gene Ray and Vicki were Omaha visitors Thursday.
