How About Pop and Kids Getting Dinner,
Doing Dishes for Mother on Her Day!
Motners day is next Sunday.
I think it would be very nice if
pop would take her out to din
ner. And, if that is out of the
question, how about the kids
getting the meal with pop lend
ing a helping hand? And that
includes doing the dishes after
ward!
Then mom will feel like it was
xeally mother’s day, instead of a
day when she had to get a big
meal and wash a pile of dishes
afterward. Make it a holiday for
apron strings!
If the children are big enough
—here's an idea: Make a regula
tion coffee cake for breakfast,
l>ut use this honey crisp topping
to make it special!
Cream together three table
spoons softened butter (or mar
garine) and 1/3 cup honey until
light and fluffy. Add V* cup
shredded cocoanut, Vz cup
crushed corn flakes and % cup
drained, crushed pineapple and
mix thoroughly. Spread on cof
fee cake batter. Makes topping
lor one coffee cake.
If daughters or sons have a
May luncheon for their mothers,
as they sometimes do, they may
want to serve a fruit plate and
dainty finger sandwiches. Use
any of the fresh fruits that are
now on the market combined
with those on your pantry shelf.
Arrange a bed of frilly lettuce
■or curly endive on the luncheon
i-—- -i
^ plate. Then arrange on it peach
or pear halves, the centers filled
with fresh blueberries, then
wedges of cantaloupe or honey
dew melon with rind removed,
banana quarters, grapefruit sec
tions, cut up fresh pineapple.
You can substitute other fruits
if you wish. Give some thought
to the arrangement of fruit on
the plates, and to the color com
bination. Complete the arrange
ment with a scoop of lemon or
lime sherbet to complement the
fruit flavors.
For the salad dressing, thin
some mayonnaise with whip
ped cream, makes a fluffy
dressing that's just right with
the fruit.
Three-decker finger sandwich
es are attractive accompani
ments. Trim the crusts from
bread slices. Spread a third of
the slices with peanut butter,
top with another slice of bread,
spread jelly on second slice and
top with a third slice of bread.
Cut the three-deckers into strips
about an inch wide. Arrange two
or three sandwiches on each
salad plate and also pass on
some extras.

School Teacher
Wins Subscription—
Dear Blanche:
It has been several years now
since I have written to your de
partment, although I read the
paper each week. Your topic
seems to have enticed me to
write again. ,
As my work teaching keeps
me very busy, I just haven’t the
time to write.
In January I planted some
carnation seed. Well, w^hen these
» _
were about an inch high, they
froze. The I replanted and my
school room windows have an
individual potted carnation for
each pupil’s mother for mother s
day.
Each pot will be covered with
foil with a bright colored ribbon
tied around each one. We have
mother’s day cards ready to be
colored (red carnations) and
each child shall in his very best
script, print a favorite verse, the
author’s name I do not remem
ber, but it reads:
I wish that I might
Always be,
All that my mother
Wished for me.
It is to be kept a secret (we
hope) until mother’s day. The
children can hardly wait and
if the day would only arrive
sooner!
Our tomato plants are about
four inches high and they will
soon have to be transplanted
outdoors.
We have had rice, cotton and
date plants in our room. We
have had no success with the
cocoa seed. Our cannas are al
most two feet high. The dahlia
is coming right along, too.
When a member of the family
of one of our students or a friend
is ill, we send them a card sign
ed by each pupil, and now they
do not hesitate to immediately
mention when a friend or mem
ber of the family is ill.
So far this spring, we have
had only a few warm days. Al
though we do hope spring is
just around the corner.

All Quiet After
Siege of Flu—
Dear Frontier Woman:
It’s been ages since I wrote to
you. I’m sure you haven’t miss
ed me, but I sure miss The Fron
tier and your column. All is
quiet and peaceful after over a
week of the flu. Youngsters back
in school and 4-year-old cutting
pictures.
After seeing four people sick
at once, temperatures raging, I
pause to think how thankful we
can be for our everyday hub
bub.
I feel sorry for the persons
who can't be happy in their
everyday grind, who keep
looking at the pleasanter mo
ments of other people and
begrudging themselves and
their families the full happy
days they should be enjoying.
Oh, we all have an off day
now and then, but there is so
much to live for. Children are a
challenge, we can learn a lot
from them. When I send my
6-year-old to the kitchen to
wash dishes, he says, “Sure I’ll
wash dishes, but I aim to have
my fun.” And he does. Maybe
it takes him half an hour but I
sit quietly and crochet, or write
a letter. With six brothers and
sisters away from home, it does
take quite a lot of letters.
Dishes finished, 6-year-old
is Roy Rogers again, I’m shot in
the hip, I must limp — a mean
limp — while I brush up the
floor.
Big sister dotes on making
cup cakes. She is 8 now, and
anxious to get at the sewing ma
chine. I have cut some quil^
patches for her. She loves to em
broider when she isn’t climbing
a tree or the bam, that is.
Dad comes in hunting a maple
stick and a 6-year-old to drive
the tractor for him. He can do a
good job, too. It takes time and
_j i i # i
anu waiLmuiucas ana a
few stern corrections, to teach
children, but they are happy in
doing things and proud of their
accomplishments.
I have to make a couple phone
calls. It’s so nice to have some
one remember you, and so easy
to put it off.
Just finished putting some
fresh pork from the locker in a
pan of smoked salt brine. Ever try
it? Gives it that cured flavor and
is easily done.
Got company—see you later

SAYS SANDHILL SAL
I see where some guy is suing
his wife for a divorce because he
says she kisses him only when
she wants money. Gosh, I bet
she smothered the poor guy.
If a person is certain he knows
everything, there remains a
great deal for him to learn.
If you practice what you
preach, you can’t have too much
time for preaching.
Advice is always something
for the other fellow to take.

One hundred and one new diesel locomo
tives, totaling 144,950 horsepower will soon
see service along our line and in our yards.
This 16 million dollar addition to our
motive power fleet is an important move in
our program of progressive railroading, for
its effect will be felt throughout the com
munities in the 9500 miles we serve. It is
no secret that modern diesel power moves
people and goods faster, safer and more
efficiently, thereby improving the basic
service that railroads have always provided
—that of bringing people, products and
markets together.
Modem motive power alone does not make
: a great railroad, but add to this the many
improvements being made daily to our roll
ing stock, roadbed, terminal and yard facil
ities, coupled with the efforts of 35,000
trained employees and you come up with
a railroad geared for safe, high-speed mass
transportation.
Such is the service we sell in nine great
midwestem states backed up with 105 years
of railroading experience.
