The Frontier Woman Burdens Borne Alone Are Hardest—Let’s Discuss Other Fellow’s Problems with Him 87 BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Well, hsve you gotten used tc writing 1952 on your letters, checks and such yet? Takes a while you know, but one thing sure. Let’s hope ’52 holds peace for this tired old world for awhile, and a little more goodwill toward men! Want to help fried foods from being too greasy? As soon as you remove them from fat or oil, be sure you drain them well on crumpled paper such as paper toweling, arrange on a baking pan or in a colander. If you have mint, use it for adding to cooked peas, and sprin kle over cooked carrots. „ Sage is a wonderful seasoning. Maybe you only use it in dress ings. If so, you’re missing some thing. Try it in sausage, stewed tomatoes, string beans, cheese • dishes, in salmon patties and sal mon loaves, meats and meat loaves. >—tfw— Mabel Guild Subscription This Week's Winner Dear Frontier Woman: It seems a good time to tell you how much I enjoy The Frontier Woman in particular and The Frontier in general. I just turned off the radio as I started to write. My favorite spir itual number was in full blast. It is “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen.” Somehow there is nn appeal in that song that digs at the secret feelings of us all. For we have seen the time when our various troubles have so to speak "hit us in the face." All of us are well-acquainted with trouble by the time we’ve lived in this world over a span of years. For trouble is the pat tern of living. There are really only 2 varieties of it: The trouble that must be borne alone, and the trouble that can be lightened by the help of someone else. It’s clear wisdom to be able to look at your difficulties and de side in which division they be Tt J_us i__ •* j «v» vtwMwv viiiij, ivun a round at your friends. Probably at this very moment you can think of several things you can do, if only the opportunity were given, to help to lighten burdens that they are struggling through alone. One does not want to force his help upon a friend, and we all know what it is to‘ long in vain for a chance to extend our aid. There’s a certain comfort that comes from understanding that one must bear a burden en tirely alone. That strength will be provided to do so. I know for instance that no one in this world can do anything a bout the fact that one of my very best friends must be in a wheel chair the rest of her life. All med ical aid has been exhausted. Ev erything has been tried, yet she cannot walk. That is spmething that onfy she can bear. As much as 1 long and wish to see her physically free, there is nothing we can do about it. Her trouble is one she can bear bravely. Yet we have trou ble* that can be lightened by turning to others, and one of my New Year's resolutions is to keep in mind the very fact that it is the better part of wisdom to turn to others when I know they- are eager to help out. Let us all take an inventory of our troubles after the old year has drawn to a close. Troubles that must be borne alone, let us bear them with true Christian grace. Those that can be lessened by a friend’s helping hand, let us dis cuss with them* ° There isn’t one of us who does not carry in his heart the regret that he did not know about a cer tain loved one’s trouble when he would have been so willing to help. These regrets burden the heart. It is true love to know when to „ turn outside of oneself for help, or when to leave others untouch ed by the shadows that they can ! do nothing about. There, I’ve put a lot of words down on paper trying to express my feelings. The old-time spiritual tells it more colorfully and tunefully. Just sing ! it to yourself and see if it is not a j grand old song. ° I never tire of it. Yours for more spiritual programs.
