The Frontier Woman . . .
Takes Lot of Drouth, Grasshoppers, Hail
to Discourage Down-to-Earth Fanners
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
r'* i ■
ocinoin aays! School days!
And many of the readers of 1
The Frontier Woman send their
youngsters to rural schools. If
you do, may I make some sug
gestions? If the school does not
furnish paper towels for use in
the school room when the pupils
are washing up, why not try
to enlist the aid of your local
project or community club to
furnish paper towels for the
year? If that fails, can you not
figure out something yourself?
Pupils should not use a com
munity towel, nor should they
use a community cup or dipper
and pail. Furnish your child
with a plastic drinking glass to
use for himself, and ask the
teacher to see that no one else
uses it. Individual drinking cups
is another worthwhile project
for the local women’s clubs
where there are country schools.
Maybe the community can
hold some sort of show and
, raise the money to buy some
of these things for the school,
or the pupils might conduct a
box social and buy a drinking
tank or cooler with a faucet.
The tank can be filled each
morning. Then each child can
use his own cup or glass to
drink from.
Many rural schools do not
have these things and your
teacher will appreciate (more
than you’ll ever know) your
thoughtfulness in trying to see
that such protection is furn
ished for the school.
In this area of blizzards, a
telephone in the country schools
can save many lives and would
prove useful to those who send
their little folk to school, too.
k 1 1 1
Why not talk over the installa
tion of a phone in your country
school at the next school meet
ing? It may save lives and
those lives may belong to YOUR
children.

Lad, 4, Fascinated
with New Life on Farm—
Mrs. Philip Hammon of Lynch
wins our prize subscription
today.
Lynch, Nebr.
Dear Mrs. Pease:
There are mornings when I
almost wish I were 12 inches
taller so I could see over the
top of my work. But I enjoy it
all and it always “waits” for
me it seems. So, while it waits.
I’ll write a few lines and send
a recipe for a dessert we like
at our house. It’s even econom
ical for town women, too, as no
eggs are used and very little
milk and shortening are needed.
In fact, it was given to me
while we lived in the city.
We are all feeling peppier
since our nice rain and hope the
com will perk up a bit so there
will be some kind of a crop.
This is our second summer on
the farm since we’ve been mar
ried, so we’re more than anxious
that the crops and livestock do
well. Both of us were raised on
a farm though, so know the
trials and all that can beset a
farmer.
We can look around and see
all of those who have stuck it
out through the drouth, grass
hoppers, hail, etc., and realize
it takes a lot to discourage a
down-to-earth farmer.
We have a little boy 4-years
old named Paul, who is having
the time of his life learning
about the farm and the animals,
tractor, machinery, and every
thing else agoing. He seems to
thrive on all the noise and con
fusion.
In June, we had a baby girl
come to bless our home so we
are all enjoying her. Her name
is Susan and she’s growing so
fast!
Now, if I would win anything
with this letter, I’d be the most
surprised person in Boyd coun
ty as I haven’t won anything
since I used to win on my 4-H
work about 15 years ago.
I’ll sign off with a little poem
I like so very much.
REMEMBER
It isn’t the things you do,
It’s the things you leave undone.
That gives you a bit of heart
ache,
At the setting of the sun.
Mrs. Philip Hammon
(Editor’s note: Mrs. Hammon’s
recipe will appear next issue.)
SAYS SANDHIILL SAL
Often it is not what you say
but how you say it that carries
joy or sting.
The woman who spends her
time talking about others has
very little in her head to look
after herself.
A small town is One place
where keeping up with the
Joneses entails seeing who can
get the Monday wash on the
line first. Or aise the largest
tomatoes or waermelons!
