THe Frontier Woman . . . Take Cake in Pan to Picnic Ah me, is it ever hot? If you have an invalid in the fiouse, try setting pans of ice «3zbes in front of an electric fan to cool the room off a little. Or fey. pinning old towels on the I inside or outside of the screen and turning the hose on tne screen. It all helps a little. Too bad, but most of us don’t Have air conditioning, so we must dk> the best we can. This is the season of the year U*r picnics. If you plan cake, I'nake it a square or loaf cake or cakes in paper cups. Then ym can leave the cake right in (She pan or cup and carry it to rdhe picnic that way. It will be in taourli better shape. The makings for a green salad earn be washed, chilled in a -pfastic bag and then add the iPtamch dressing at the picnic, jjjBRt before serving. Buy some sandwich bags to use +Sor picnic going. Then you can tperk. to see what type of filling 3® in the sandwich—not to men tion the fact that the sandwich 45 will be in much better shape. If the sandwich filling sup pltr is low, here is one you can fix. Cut up dates and shred carrots and mix with mayon naise. Different and delicious. Pet crisp chilled relishes in By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE plastic bags when going on a picnic. Deviled eggs are good pic nic fare, that is, if they don’t stand in the hot sun for hours. Never take a cream pie on a picnic. If you must have pie, make it a fruit filling. Cream pies are a real health hazard when not kept refrigerated in hot wea ther. — tfw — Finds Namesake; Enjoys Signed Letters— Stuart, Nebr. Dear Blanche: As I picked up The Frontier to read your column, I saw a very familiar name — Mrs. Clarence Johnson of Spencer. No, I do not know Mrs. Johnson, but as you can see, we both have the same name. Now, wasn’t it nice that she signed her name? That letter just wouldn’t have meant much to me. I, too, enjoy signed letters. I usually look to see if I know the writer before reading the letter. If so, I usually try the recipe. I am going to try to make the date bars this afternoon. I will send a very simple cream pie recipe. I used to have trouble with cream fillings before trying this one. VANILLA CREAM PIE Make a nine-inch pie shell or graham cracker crust. Then mix in a saucepan : 2/3 cup sugar, Vz teaspoon salt, 2¥z tablespoons cornstarch, one tablespoon flou\ Stir in gradually three cups milk.
