HELEN KREYMBORG Holt County Home Agent Home demonstration work (or home extension work as it is known in' Nebraska) is an educa tional program for homemakers. It is designed to bring informa tion about foods, nutrition, health, safety, clothing, nousing, home furnishings, home equip ment and management, child de velopment, family relationsh ip, and home and community recre ation. This program is carried on co operatively by the United States department of agriculture. The college of agriculture of the Uni versity of Nebraska, and the county extension organization. These three groups share in the planning, financing and admin istration of the extension pro gram. Home extension clubs (there are now 31 in Holt county) are ; groups of women who organize l themselves together to develop an educational program for* themselves. They send leaders to training meetings conducted by the home extension agents or specialists. The leaders are ex pected to bring the lesson back to the club members. Clubs may also work as a community im provement organization. The presidents of the clubs form a council which plans the work based on the homemakers’ needs and interests. All clubs have the same subject matter demonstration lessons. These are selected to best meet the needs of the majority of club members in the county. All homemakers are urged to avail themselves of the educa tional help of the extension ser vice. They are invited to attend county workshops, tours and meetings which are held on such topics as home freezing of foods, family finances, children’s clothing, lighting in the home, landscaping and many others. The home agent is available for individual conferences and pub lications are available through the office of the extension ser vice. The current lesson is on fam ily recreation and will be given in O’Neill today (Thursday) at 1:30 p.m., and again at 7:30 p.m., at my home. It will also be given in Atkinson Friday, May 7, at 1:30 p.m., at the home of Mrs. J. B. Mellor. Anyone who is interested is invited to attend these meet ings. — ' Try Frontier want ads! IMAGINE!

Suggests Improving * Thank- You V ' By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE If your plans for flower gar dening didn’t quite pan out this } ear—because of the unseasonal snow and cold or for some other reason—you can still go to a florist or greenhouse and pur chase plants that will make ear ly flowers for you. Buy some of the petunia plants — the ruffled ones — and some of the balcony petunias. A half-dozen ruffled ones will give you untold beauty, and balcony petunias spread and spread un til they have dozens of blossoms on one plant. Pansies will give you a lot of pleasure and blossoms if you keep them picked. If you have a shady spot and don’t know what to put in it, buy some of the pansy plants and keep them picked. You’ll always have a bowl of flowers all summer long if you keep them watered and fertilized a bit. Pansies are heavy feeders. It is still not loo late to plant gladiolus. A row in your garden would give you a lot of pleasure later on when many other flowers are not in bloom. You can still plant zinnias, marigolds and most of the flow ering annuals if you hurry. They won’t be quite as early but they’ll still have a good bloom ing season. Five lilies you can plant in May are rubrum, nankeen, es state, Formosa and goldband. The goldband lily is also known as auratum. We’re trying a cou ple of those this year to see how they turn out. If you have never had any day lilies, you can’t go wrong on those. I don’t mean the old fashioned orange type, or the one they used to call lemon lily, but the many new kinds of day lilies in many shades of yeilo v and orange, pink and rose, ma rons and brown. There is plenty of time to_set out chrysanthemums. For early bloom, clumps .should be divided and reset as soon as active growth starts in the spring, but before much elongation of the new shoot occurs. So chrysan themums can be a lot of work. Your county agent can proba bly send you a bulletin, number 1273 (“Chrysanthemum Culture in Nebraska”) that will be help ful. If you have tried * everything else to get rid of moles, yoj might try water and drowning them out. It will take enough water to hike your water bill but things may benefit from Ihe extra irrigation. — tfw — 'Boyd County Reader' Wins Subscription — Dear Mrs. Pease: When The Frontier arrives and your department is missing the paper has an empty feeling for me. All the material you use is interesting to me. Some time ago I read an arti cle on “Do you know how to say thank you?” It is somewhat of an art which we may all weil cultivate. How many of us have had someone say, “Oh, you shouldn't have done it,” and by the time they finish protesting, you el most think it was a mistake? Without a doubt, it takes ex tra time and effort, not to mention money, to do some thing nice for people. Like wise, it takes time and effort to accept graciously. In both instances it is -veil worth the time, effort and mon ey when we can make it a joy for others to do for us ot for them to receive it well. Snail we try to improve our ‘thank you” by making the giver glad he gave? Little deeds of others, done with kindness true, make us glad the whole year through' General A*uto and Truck Repairing Albert (“Shorty") Dennis MECHANIC Smith Motor O’Neill Phone 562 And now a recipe: REFRIGERATOR ICE CREAM Three-fourths cup sugar, H. cup white syrup, four egg yolks, a pinch of salt, vanilla to taste. Beat well and add two cups cream and two cups milk. This makes two trays, and after it has frozen once, chip it into very small pieces and add two of the egg whites (unbeaten). Then beat the whole mixture w eh and return to freezer unit. This is almost like the ice cream we used to make in the hand crank freezer. “A BOYD COUNTY READER” NOTICE Individuals interested in bidding cm the job of turn ing and screening CCC owned corn in storage at the Page and O'Neill bin sites are asked to contact the Holt County A SC Com mittee at O'Neill.
