The Frontier vv uinan A Small Can of Paint Can Make Big Difference in Your House By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Spring began officially last week and if you aren t thinking in terms of new looks in the house or a new look in the line of clothes, its’ time you did. Maybe you can't do much, or * have much, but lady a can of paint, even a little one, can make more difference in a house than anything you can think of. A can of quick enamel can do up a whatnot, some chairs, the children’s toys or what have you in double quick time and for very few pennies. Let not the spring come without a bit of fur bishing, it will give your heart a lift . . and if it’s plastic curtains for the kitchen, it won't put much of a dent in your pocket book. Sometimes an old iron bed can be made to look neat and attractive with a coat of enam el in a color to harmonize with the furnishing* of the room. The finishing or refinishing of accessories or occasional articles for your house is fun. It's a real adventure. Often you can buy unfinished furniture already cut, you put it together yourself and finish it. You can brighten a room by using contrasting colors. There's where your originality comes in. You can even refinish such things as waste baskets, lamp bases, bookends, and flower pots. Give a thought to brightening up the kitchen some way while you're at it. If you’re going to wax wood work, be sure you use the right finish. One finish is secured by varnishing woodwork and when dry, applying a coat of wax and rubbing it to a polish. In this case, the wax is used as a polish. The other way is to stain and fill the wood and apply the wax without any preliminary coat. This is a real wax finish because the wax is both the wearing and the finishing coat. BABY LETTUCE WITH > SPRING DRESSING Wash, dry well and chill a big bowl of young lettuce. Toss it well in this dressing Hard boil 3 eggs, slice whites and sprinkle over lettuce. Mash the yolks in a bowl, add salt, pepper, 1 tea spoon sugar, 1 teaspoon powder ed mustard and tablespoon vinegar.

"ATKINSON FRONTIER READER" _— ■ _ SAYS SANDHILL SAL There are now a million more women than men in the United States. God must love the wom en, or as Lincoln said, why has he made more of them? If this keeps up, things will come to a fine kettle of fish. But, of course, ■ there are still plenty of suckers around. Puns are fun. It’s fun to pun. Spice your conversation with puns and you’ll have a better day . . . even the corny ones bring a smile. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Tomjack re ceived a telephone call from their son, Reed, who has been at sea for four years. He is now being transferred to Portland, Ore., and will remain on shore duty for some time. I Everybody Feels Like Springy Dishes— A "Frontier Reader” from At < kinson wins our three-months' I subscription today.

In the gar 1 den new asparagus will be pop ping up in a few weeks and ba ! by lettuce and green onions, fte I fore we know it. And then will come those luscious strawberries. So I am sending you some reci pes for springtime! ASPARAGUS Wash asparagus thoroughly, snap off tough stalk ends, tie it in small bunches ami stand bunches upright in a deep kettle or the bottom of a double boiler. Pour boiling water up to within 1 inch of the tender tips. Add salt and cook for about 15 min utes or until tender. (The deep tup of the double boiler or an other kettle makes a good cov- | ier). Drain and serve with hot melted butter and lemon. Or brown some butter, fry some j bread crumbs in it and pour ov er asparagus.
