About The frontier. (O'Neill City, Holt County, Neb.) 1880-1965 | View Entire Issue (July 22, 1954)
Letter to Editor O’Neill, Nebr. In the July 15 issue of The Frontier, an article about the proposed 25 blocks of paving con tained the following. I quote: “None of the 11 proposed im provement districts have. been obstructed officially with 51 per cent of the abutting real estate owners filing protests.” You were misinformed on this. The petition against paving Everett and Fifth streets carried the signatures of 60 percent of the legitimate resident property owners, of property abutting Ev erett and Fifth streets. It also contained the signatures of nine non-resident property owners of property abutting said streets; also the signatures of five people who own real estate adjoining who would also be taxed. Under a plan as published ear lier, “Before the district is cre iited the property owners have a chance to vote against the district being created.” We did just this, getting the signatures of 60 percent of legit imate voters plus 14 signatures of property owners who would be taxed but not allowed to vote. This shows the sentiment of the people on these streets. Tnese are the names of the sign ers of the petition against pav ing the proposed district, com prising Everett and Fifth streets. They are resident legitimate owners of property as registered in the office of the register of deeds at the courthouse on the day the petition was presented to the council: Mr. and Mrs. Jack Dailey, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Petersen, Mr. and Mrs. John Osenbaugh, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Sanders, Mrs. John Storjohann, Lynus Howard, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Harrington, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Killham, Mary Donlin, John Kersenbrock, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bazelman, Bill Schroeder, and Ann and John Murray. , . . , The petition also contained the names of the lollowing non residents owning property abut ting said streets: Cora Pettijohn, Jane Robertson Spann, Mrs. Leta Johnson, Tdr. and Mrs. Earl Sanders, Carl Bennett Sanders, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Parker and Mrs. Lenna Torbert, executrix of the estate of Anna McCartney. Also the names of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Merriman, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Minton and Ger trude Howard, who own ad joining property and who would have to pay a tax also. We have 60 percent plus 14 votes. EUNICE SANDERS Hay Harvest Is We!!

Today*s Brides Better Cooks By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE It’s hard to believe—again— but July is almost gone. Some of the June and July brides have learned to bake biscuits — and some haven’t—but I think most of today’s brides know more about cooking than they did a generation ago. When it is time to pick the peas, for flavor and tenderness we like to catch them when they are plump. Lower pods on peas usually mature first, so remem ber that. Hold the vines careful ly so you get two or three pick ings from the vines and if you want them at their very best, cook within a half-hour of pick ing from the vines for the best flavor. Some folks like to let string beans get so big that the beans in them form part of the meal. I like to be sure to pick them be fore the. beans show through as knobby lumps. Don’t let beans ripen or the vines will stop pro ducing. Most folks know that you : shouldn't pick beans when the vines are wet, but if you did n't know it, now you do. It aids the spread of rust. The best time to cut and cook cr can spinach is when the leaves are about seven inches long. They cure then at their tender and most succulent best — and Swiss chard, according to the garden experts, should be pick ed when about six to eight inch es long. If you prefer the small leaves to the. large ones, you miss the well developed mid-ribs which are such excellent substi tutes for celery. Don’t forget to thin the beets when they get about five inches high. Thin plants until at least two inches apart and cook the vitamin - rich pulled ones as greens. Then before the remain ing beets get over two inches across, use them. Can at once or cook them. — tfw — 'Ex-Country Gal' Wins Subscription— Dear Frontier Woman: I’ve read your column for sev eral years and always have planned to write, but it seems that always there was something else I had to do. I’m sending some recipes I’ve found are very good to use if you have canned apple sauce left in the basement. I’ve tried several other apple sauce cake recipes but we like this one the best. APPLE SAUCE CAKE One cup of sugar, V2. cup of butter, IV2 cups apple sauce (sweetened;, two teaspoons soda (almost level, dissolved in sauce), one cup raisins, one teaspoon cinnamon, V* teaspoon nutmeg, V4 teaspoon cloves, two cups fiour. Mix and'bake in slow oven of 325 F. until done.__ BROWN STONE FRONT CAKE Can be put together and is ready for the oven in seven nun- : utes. ' Mix drv: Two cups sugar, 2 Vz cups flour, two teaspoons soda, y4 teaspoon salt, six tablespoons cocoa, Vz teaspoon baking pow der. Add two cups milk (sweet or sour) into which have been stirred four well-beaten eggs. Bake in a moderate oven. Makes a large cake. BUSY DAY CHOCOLATE One cup sugar, six table spoons, cocoa, three tablespoons snortening, one teaspoon vanilla, 1 2/3 cups flour, one teaspoon soda, one teaspoon salt, 1 1/3 cups sour milk, 1/3 cup chopped nut meats (if desired). Mix sugar and cocoa together. Add melted shortening, sift flour and soda, plus salt, together and add alternately with the sour milk. Fold in nutmeats and add vanilla. Bake in one nine-inch square pan (must be about two inches deep). Make in a mod erate oven about 30 minutes. % When cool ice with powdered sugar icing. I miss having cream and eggs to cook with as we have lived in town only a few months. When we have these things handy, we use them and never give it a thought. But when they have to come from the store, we really ap preciate it when someone from the country thinks to bring some to us when they come, even if it's only a jar of sep arated milk. I was afraid of having trouble keeping the children from run ning in the street, but they’ve been very good. I have heard people say they think it is easier 10 raise children in town, but even in this short a time, I’ll take the country. “JUST A COUNTRY GAL AT HEART’’ o;neill LOCALS The Misses Lou Moss and Joan Langan, students at Wayne State Teachers college, spent the week end in O’Neill visiting their par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Moss and Mr. and Mrs. M.
