Inman Housewife Wont Be Sorry
When Cellar Is Full of Gardenstuffs
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Unsweetened whipped cream
mixed with an equal amount of
mayonnaise makes a delightful
dressing that is particularly good
on fruit salads. And fruit salads
are tops these hot July days.
Trying to cut down on food
costs?
Get a can of luncheon meat to
day, one of those small tins of
chopped ham. Slice four medium
sized potatoes, you should have
about a quart of sliced potatoes.
Slice the canned luncheon meat in
eight slices. Wash the potatoes
and pare and slice them thin.
Combine two tablespoons flour,
one teaspoon salt and 1/8 tea
spoon pepper. Put four slices of
the luncheon meat in bottom of
greased baking dish.
Top with half the potatoes.
Sprinkle with half the fiour and
seasoning mixture. Put other
four slices of the meat on top
of potatoes.
Put the remaining potatoes in
casserole and sprinkle remainder
of flour an seasoning on top. Add
lVz cups milk and dot the cas
serole with 1 tablespoons butter
or margarine. Top with half a cup
of buttered crumbs. Bake in a
moderate over of 350 F. for an
hour or until potatoes are done.
Bake covered first half hour. This
will serve four or five people.

Tips—
A snap clothespin is handy to
have by the cook stove. Use it
to lift hot kettle lids, pull hot
saucepans forward and change
pie pans around in the oven.
Screw a towel bar to the inside
of a closet door. It can be used
to drape linens over it, or it
makes a fine neck tie rack.

Mother Would Like
Fishing Forewarnings —
Inman, Nebr.
Dear Mrs. Pease:
It’s been far too long since I’ve
added my bit toward your good
column in The Frontier. Today
is a proverbial scorcher already
and the sun’s just making itself
known.
The summer is just starting and
all ready I’m having trouble with
the cuts and slivers on the bot
j tom of the feet of my two young
| sters. They will go barefoot!
We’re enjoying our first straw
berries of the season so will in
clude a recipe which never fails
to bring ohs and ahs from our
family, called:
STRAWBERRY DESSERT
SALAD
Melt Y4 pound (16) marshmal
lows in top of double boiler with
2 tablespoons strawberry juice.
Cool.
Add 1 cup crushed strawber
ries, Yz cup crushed pineapple,
drained. Blend one three ounce
package cream cheese until
creamy.
Add Yz cup salad dressing, and
Yz cup heavy cream, whipped.
Combine with strawberry mix
ture. Pour into refrigerator tray.
Freeze until firm. It serves six.
I serve this on lettuce leaves
or just cut in squares and serve
on a pretty salad plate. Usually
I put a dab of whipped cream on
top of each serving, then add a
nice plump strawberry to really
finish the picture.
Our 10-year-old boy has the
fishing bug. (As far as that
goes, whai normal boy of any
age doesn't?) I really have to
plan and work each Saturday
to have a good lunch ready to
throw in a basket Sunday if the
men of the family decide we're
going fishing.
Naturally they don’t decide un
til the very last minute so I just
have to be prepared. I’m not grip
ing, you undersand, for I like to
fish myself but I like to know
we’ll eat while we’re gone, too.
The garden is demanding more
and more of my time than I care
to give it but will just have to
squeeze it in somehow. I know
I’ll not be sorry when my cellar is
full of jars of bright red beets,
the true orange of carrots and
rosy red of plump tomatoes to say
nothing of jams, fruits and pic
kles. We can get away with a lot
over the winter, too, believe me.
Well, I’m just rambling on and
hear the children stirring up
stairs so better say good bye to
you for this time and get them
some breakfast.

SAYS SANDHILL SAL
It’s a good thing to remember
that when someoody wants you
to “play ball” they may be go
ing to throw you a few last ones.
They say tnat the best way to
solve your problems is to work
hard. But this editor, these hot
days would like to know the next
best one.
One of the best ways to take
a chance on a broken rib is when
the small fry wants to hug you.

advancements and a host of improvements that step
up tractor performance in many different ways.
One of these new models will be on display at our

No Thorough-Going Attempt to Reorganize
State’s Administrative Setup Since 1919
(Editor’s note: While Mel
vin Paul, The Frontier’s state
house correspondent, is vaca
tioning, two distinguished Ne
braskans have agreed to write
guest columns. They are Demo
crat Walter Raecke and Repub
lican Bob Crosby, rivals for
the governorship in the fall
election. Mr. Crosby’s ar
ticle, “A Challenge for Nebras
ka,” appears today; Mr.
Raecke’s will appear next week.
By ROBERT B. CROSBY
Candidate for Governor
{Nebraska has had good govern
ment. This is true by almost any
standard of comparison with oth
er states. Of course, we have
had our shortcomings, and still
have some. On the whole, how
ever, our state government has
reflected the honest, common
sense characters of our citizens.
Yet, there is a continuing chal
lenge to all of us .— a real op
portunity for many improve
ments in State government.
* * *
Reorganization —
For instance, a careful, busi
nesslike reorganization of the ad
ministrative branch of state gov
ernment will decrease cost and
increase efficiency. For some
years the expense of state gov
ernment has been rapidly in
creasing. Some of the causes
cannot be avoided. One of the
chief reasons, however, has been
the creation of many new gov
ernmental agencies without fol
lowing a consistent administra
tive plan. From six code agen
cies in 1919, the number has
risen to 46 at the present time.
There has been no thorough
going attempt at administrative
reorganization since 1916. A
careful reorganization, consol
idating similar functions in
the same department and
eliminating duplicating activi
ties, is a desirable way of get
ting greater efficiency as well
as economy.
The introduction of the cab
inet system of administration
would be a sound improvement.
It is consistent with good busi
ness practices to establish a
schedule of regular and frequent
meetings of departmental heads
to plan the administrative work
of the state and to coordinate the
work of the various departments.
Highways—
Roads are one of the foremost
issues in our state. Many of the
suggestions for improving our
highways require legislative ac
tion. Without legislative action
the next governor would do well
to adopt a two-year plan for
tatewide road construction, based
on scientific established prin
ciples of highway programming,
and in clear detail.
This two year plan should then
be submitted to the people in
public hearings at convenient
places throughout the state, so
that the plan can be improved
by the experience of citizens who
are close to the road problems.
When adopted in final form, po
litical influence would not be per
mited to alter the plan. This
would permit the people to be
completely informed on highway
policies and to share in their mak
ing.
* * •
Resources —
Important to the future of Ne
braska are the development and
promotion of its great resources.
There should be increased em
phasis on agricultural research
and the further development of
irrigation, flood control and soil
sonservation. We must encour
age the production of oil and na
tural gas. Industrial develop
ment, particularly that which
utilizes agricultural products,
should be stimulated. We should
energetically develop the tour
ist attractions of our state.
With regard to property tax as
sessments, there are injustices in
the present system that should foe
eliminated. The next governor
should ask the legislature to work
with him to bring about uniform
tax assessments, so that no sec
tion or group will have an unfair
amount of property tax burden
imposed upon it.
During this time of military
emergency, with its tremendous
burden on taxpayers, he state
spading should be strictly lim
ited. This should require not
°bly “holding the line,” but also
a sharp curtailment of unneces
sary services of state govern
ment.
* * *
Education —
Education is one of the most
important functions of state gov
ernment. We myst strive for im
proved quality at all levels of
our educational system; at the
same time, we must insist upon
retaining local and state control
of educational processes, resist
ing the proposals for general
federal aid to education. Adop
tion of the constitutional amend
ment which will establish a state
board of education will be a step
forward in Nebraska.
Many other proposals for an
improved quality of state gov
ernment could be made if the
length of this column were not
limited. Of course, each of the
above proposals would be a col
umn in itself if we undertook to
discuss it adequately.
One thing I want to make clear.
There is nothing of doubt or pes
simism in my thinking about Ne
braska and its future. Our
greatest resource is the quality of
our citizens.
We Nebraskans excell in self
reliance we are noted for being
independent in our thinking; as a
matter of course, we expect to
solve our own problems. I have
complete faith in the ability of
our people to find a good an
swer to all of their problems in
state government.
It will mean some hard work,
but most of you know what I
mean when I say that the best
things in life alway require hard
work.
Thinks Buddy Hit,
Learns Differently
Sergeant Langan Not
Mad, Relieved
Sfc. Gerald Langan, whose
parents, Mr. and Mrs. William
Langan, live at O’Neill, recently
had some anxious moments while
on reconnaissance patrol in
Korea.
One of the members of his pa
trol, Pfc. Stanley Griffiths, whose
parents, Mr. and Mrs. George
Griffiths, live at Scranton, Pa.,
was serving as point man of the
patrol. He got within. 20 yards of
an enemy trench when two com
munists popped out and started
firing at him.
Griffins hit the dirt, and,
figuring things were too hot
around there, started crawling
back by a different route.
But Langan, thinking Griffiths
was hit, started crawling toward
him through heavy fire.
Halfway across the fireswept
slope, Langan met the uninjured
Griffiths on his way back. Too
relieved to be mad Langan re
turned with Griffiths to their po
sition.
