The Frontier Woman . . . Food Spending Formula Offered By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Do you know how to spend the money for your food budget to best adamage? Most families r.eed to spend from one-quarter to one-third of their income for food; perhaps more in this time of higher lood prices. To be sure that you’re getting the food you need, and not overspending, there are some simple rules made up for us by people who spend their lives teaching these things. 1. First a quart of milk every day for EACH child, and a pint for each adult, young, middleaged or old. i^asterurized, bottled in paper cartons, unsweetened evaporated, dried milk and such, most have the same food values. 2. You need at least s 1 x pounds of vegetables and fruit a week for each member of the family. If you raise a garden and own fruits as far as possible, you are saving that much money. 3. One-sixth to one-half of the food money should go for bread, cereals, macaroni and rice. The weekly allowance for each per son should be two to four pounds of bread and one to two pounds of cereal. The smaller the allowance for food, the more should be spent on the inexpen sive cereals. You can save on this part of your food budget by buy ing flour in 50-pound sacks, and baking your own bread. Cereals, macaroni and rice are usually cheaper bought in the bulk in cellophane bags then sold under a trade name in paste board car tons, and usually just as nutri tious. 4. The allowance for meat should not exceed that for milk, unless you have all ready bought the ideal amount of milk and still have enough of the budget left to buy more meat. 5. Enough butter, margarine, and other fats should be bought to supply between one-half and seven-eights of a pound of fat a ' week for every member of the family over 3-years-old. You may think that a penny saved here and there doesn't mean anything on your food budget. Nothing could be farther from the truth. A few cents here and there adds up to a neat sav ings account. Food is bought everyday and 10 cents a day sav ed, means $30 dollars a year. The most expensive food is not always the most nutritious. Flanning your meals ahead will save you money and you still utilize leftovers with a flexible weekly food plan. Compare the prices at the neighborhood stores and learn where values are greatest. Give the cleanest store preference. Staple foods can often be bought in large quani ties and then be stored. —tfw— Just 'Another Cook' Wins Prize Subscription— Dear Blanche: Enjoy your column so very much and am really disappoint ed when the paper comes occas ionally and there isn’t any Front ier Woman. Have been busy since our re cent rain, sleet and snow storm last week. It made us lots of ex tra work as we had the yard raked and now it is to do all over again. We had so many of our beautiful trees broken, and limbs and twigs all over. We also had so many fruit trees in bloom and after the sleet and ice melted not too many blossoms were black, but the next night it frosted, or maybe I should say froze, so hard everyone of the trees was black. Imagine that will have finished our fruit crop around here for another year. It really makes on feel blue for this was the first year our young orchard had blossomed out for us. We have been watching those plum, apple and apricot trees grow for sev eral years A few years ago we had a very severe hail storm hit us and I know that it set the trees back a year, maybe two, for I was a fraid they would die, they were beaten so badly, some of them still have the blemishes on their limbs from where the hail cut into the bark. But they came through with only one or two dying. Now we will have to wait, another year before we will be able to see if we are really going to have fruit like we ordered. Will be glad when we can fill jars out of our own orchard and have our own fruit to use in all those nice recipes sent in by the readers of The Frontier. I am enclosing a whipped cream cake which I thought seme of the readers might like to try. WHIPPED CREAM CAKE Two cups cake flour, Vz tea spoon salt, three teaspoons bak ing powder, three egg whites, one cup wipping cream, 1% cups sugar, Vfe cup cold water, one teaspoon vanilla flavoring, one teaspoon almond flavoring. I substituted Vz teaspoon le mon flavoring because my fam ily doesn’t care for almond. It worked out very nicely. Method. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together .three times. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Whip cream care fully, fold whipped cream into egg whites by hand. Gradually fold in dry indredients alternate ly with water. Fold in flavoring, using 10 or 12 strokes. Pour into 2 waxed paper lined 8 inch layer cake pans. Bake (325 F. to 350 F.) for 25 to 30 minutes. I used a loaf pan and baked 35 minutes. ‘ANOTHER HOLT READER’ 1# We’ve joined the new American Motors Family and we’re celebrating with a big ?..

Hugh Butler (R.-Nebr.) in a statement on the floor of the senate last week called upon President Eisenhower to keep* all members of the senate informed as to threats to peace arising from developments in French Indochina and other parts of southeast Asia. Such information on day-to-day developments on the foreign scene should not be restricted just to those senators who are members of the foreign relations and armed service com mittees, Butler emphasized. “If the international situation reaches a point where it is as serious as a considerable number of persons seem to think it is, I certainly believe that all mem bers of the senate should be ad vised, and also the people of the i country.” he continued, i Throughout the Indochina tur moil, Butler has repeatedly ex pressed his disapproval of any possible commitment of Amer ican forces in the conflict. “It is pure folly to entertain hopes that problems in the farflung corners of the earth can be solv ed by continual United States intervention.” Butler stated.

O’Neill School Levy Lowest in County 39.80 Mills at Inman Considered High Tax levies for 12-grade schools in Nebraska towns and cities and cities range from 60.75 mills to seven mills. This wide spread is revealed in the second statewide study of school taxes by the Nebraska State Education association. The spread of levies is due largely to wide differences in the amount of valuation within dis tricts and to varying educational programs which the districts support. In Holt county, mill levies for 12-grade schools included: O' Neill, 13:20; Ewing, 19:40; Atkin son, 20.30; Stuart, 2t).40; Page, 29.80; Chambers, 34.00; Inman, 39.80. The highest mill levy for gen eral school purposes for districts having grade through high school program in Nebraska is Brown ville’s 60.75 mills. In addition, Brownville in Nemaha county had a 4.34 mill levy for school bonds, or a total of 65.09 for school purposes. The lowest mill levy in the state is Minden’s 7 mills. Minden, site of extensive school district reorganization in Kearney county, also has a 2 mill school bond levy for a total of 9 mills. The average levy for general school purposes in class II dis tricts is 25.28 mills in 1953-’54 compared with 25.93 in 1952 ’53. Class U districts offer both elementry and high school class es in towns under 1,000 in pop ulation. The average mill levy for the class III districts this year is 22.74 mills, compared with 26.74 last year, probably as a result of increased valuations. A class III district offers elementary and high school education in cities and towns with 1,000 to 50,000 population. O’Neill News Mrs. W. J.
