I’Be f rontier woman — If Yon Raise Own Spuds You Too Are Finding Annoying Number of Small Ones By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE • One of these days when the spirit moves you, try baking po tatoes in foil. You’ll like the re sults. Let each person unfurl the potato. .The aluminum foil keeps the heat longer. Line the broiler with foil. When <he broiling is done you can simpiy roll up the foil. Saves lots of messy clean up jobs. Don’t line your oven with foil. It stops the heat circulation and it is bad for the oven, too. Bake in foil if you wish, but don’t put in the bottom of the oven. We have come now to the sea son of the year when, if you raise your own potatoes, there seams to be an annoying number of small ones. (Of course, this could not possibly be because you have all ready picked out the big ones to peel.) Anyway, cook a lot of small ones now and then in their jackets and run them through the potato ricer. The potato pulp goes through and the skins stay in the ricer. I like to cook a kettle full of potatoes with the jackets, peel them, and store covered in the refrigerator. They are ready for potato salad, for potatoes to fry in bacon grease, to put in a cassero'e diced with a cheese sauce for a quick warm up. and so on. Saves lime, labor, fuel and yourself. Potatoes like to be stored where there is no light. Did you know that? If they are not, they get green spots in them that are harmful to eat. Cut off the green ish part and eat the rest, if that happens. Cover stored potatoes well and they won’t get green spots in them. Sprouted potatoes should be peeled. Don’t eat the sprouts They, too, are harmful, same as the green spots in potatoes. —tfw— Finds Most Recipes 'Very Good' — Mrs. H. J., of O’Neill, wins our . three-months subscription. i Dear Blanche: Guess I’ll busy myself by writ- i ing you. Time seems to go bo slow these days. I have said to myself many times that I’m go | ing to write you and try for the j subscription to The Frontier, but i never get the job done. I'm go ing to get this written today. We have been having a con siderably nice winter, which helps a million. Soon, will be tu.T.e for garuen, baby chicks and many more jobs I enjoy reading your column in The Frontier very much. Have tried many of the recipes, and have found most of them to be very good. Am going to enclose with my letter a very delicious lemon pie recipe, which we all really go for. NEVER FAIL LEMON PIE Combine in a saucepan, IV* cups sugar, IV4 cups cold water, 4 tablespoons flour, Ya teaspoon salt, 3 egg yolks. Cook this till it becomes thick, remove from fire, add 2 tablespoons butter, and the rind and juice of 1 aver age size lemon. Put in a baked pie shell, cover with meringue and place in oven and brown. Believe I have made this long enough so will bring it to a close and see if it brings me anv lurk. “MRS. H. J." —IIW Recipe of the Week — SALMON BACON PATS One cup soft bread crumbs, 1 egg, slightly beaten, !&cup juice from can of salmon, 1 tablespoon scraped onion, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, % teaspoon salt, dash of pepper, sage, 4 cups (2 lbs.) canned salmon, 6 slices ba con. Combine the bread crumbs and salmon juice. Add onion, parsley, seasonings. Mix with flaked sal mon. Shape 6 patties, wrap slice of bacon around each, fasten with toothpick. Bake in a hot oven of 450 F. 15 minutes, until bacon is crisp. Remove from oven and ar range on platter around nest of carrots. Serves six. Regardless of whether you be long to a faith which calls for eating fish or a meat substitute one day a week and on fast days during lent, you should eat sal mon in some form once a week, just as you should eat liver once a week. Salmon is rich in foods which your body needs. And it is an economical food, too, if you buy canned salmon. SAYS SANDHILL 8AL It is not the original cost of matching the Joneses, it’s the up keep that keeps you going down ' hill.

And wives have been known to say, ‘‘No big cars for me. They’re too hard to handle.” Well, we have an answer for that one. It’s a Roadmaster with Buick’s new Power Steering.! And Power Steering takes over any time the steering gets tough—works like a helping hand— reduces the effort of turning the wheel of a car at a standstill to about the same effort it takes to pick up a mink coat. But out on the open highway—with a » clear straight stretch before you— your hands still have command of the wheel—you can feel that sure, firm, easy and eager responsiveness that’s a part of the fun of driving. The rest of the fun is in something else that’s new this year—the highest horse power that a Buick Fireball Engine has ever delivered — and an Airpower carburetor that lets loose an extra reserve of power when needed, and still adds extra miles to your cruising range on each tankful of gas. So we suggest a family demonstration. 'Ybu’ll both like the hushed and restful silence of this superbly able traveler. \ou’ll like the harmonious beauty of its interior, and the deep and luxurious softness of its seats. Ym’ll like the velvet-gloved grip of its Wide-Band brakes, and the most capa cious trunk in Buick history. You’ll like the smooth surge of Dynaflow Drive, and you’ll like-but why waste time talking, when you could be finding out more than we can ever tell you? How about making a date to do that right now?
