Why not The Frontier for
Christmas?

The Frontier Woman . . .
O’Neill Stores ‘Genuinely Friendly ’
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Homemaking Editor
Not much more than a week
before Christmas. And still some
shopping to do, huh? Well, if the
folks you still haven’t gifts for
reside in town and you live on a
farm, maybe you can solve the
problem right at home.
If you raise lots of popcorn,
give them several pounds of shell
ed popcorn and the whole family
who receives it will be delighted.
If you have more lard than
you usually use—well, what fam
ily wouldn’t be glad for a gift of
shortening, or some home-churn
ed butter or a pint of country
cream? Jams, jellies and pickles .
always make such delightful gifts
and when folks have to buy them
they seem like a double treat.
Even home-canned fruit is us
ually welcome. Home - canned
pumpkin, or some of those de
lightful acorn squash are nice
gifts, also. Heads of cabbage from
your cellar or cave are other
ideas, if your family has more
than enough for themselves.
If some of the families you
know never bake bread and you
bake good bread, I can think of a
lot of people who would be
pleased with a loaf of homemade
bread in the way of a Christmas
greeting. Just be sure it is fresh
ly baked when you present it, so
they get the full flavor from it.
Of course, most of us think in
terms of homemade candies
and cookies for Christmas
ideas. Christmas cakes and oth
er confections are always de
lightfully good, too.
Sweet baked goodies probably
take priority in your allotment of
freezer space these days. Don’t
overlook the advantage of having
fiozen main dishes on hand ready
to be thawed, heated and served
on short notice. One idea is for
macaroni, noodle or spaghetti
casesroles. They freeze well if
you remember not to cock them
to the well done stage. If cooked
well done before freezing, they
are likely to become too soft up
on reheating.

Eventful Summer in
‘Just Vy’ Household—
Stuart, Nebr.
Dear rrienas:
Are all stores alike to you? I’ll
wager no two are alike and some
are different as night from day.
Some are genuinely friendly, in
cluding most O’Neill stores. I
visit those most frequently where
the saleslady seems to know if I
just want to look around or if I’ve
come for a card of buttons or a
spool of thread and must dash
right home because I’ve left the
baby in the car.
I like to go shopping and have
someone hail me by my first
name but, sad to say, not many
do in my home town. Do you
know why?
As a small child, I well re
member going to McManus’
store. We went so seldom so
my parents would have a chat
with J.P. and he usually put in
some trinket or a string of
beads for me with the pur
chases,
Few stores do that any more
but one store in Stuart still gives
away a lot of candy and gum.
I like to look at the yard goods
and some sales ladies are so
helpful and show me the new
trimmings, too. I also like to
stir throu^i a big box of rem
nants and buy one or two when I
still have a big stack of pieces to
make at home.
I can just remember my grand
mother's millinery store and play
ing with the Aiken girl there.
She took me into the back of the
p. st off ice. Grandmother made
hats for me long after she re
tired. I well remember her mak
ing tam-o-shanters for her grand
daughters. Remember when hats
had wire frames? Grandmother
knew just where and how to
bend them to shape to make any
hat look like it was made for
you and just what angle to sew
on trimming, be it flower or
feather.
This has been a busy summer
for us. Our 8-year-old was a
first communicant, the teenage
son finished high school, the eld
est daughter was married. Next
the eldest son received his degree
end commission shortly after
which he started his job for Uncle
Sam.
Early this fall, they presented
us with a sweet little grand
daughter. Now I enjoy the title?
of “Granny.”

Eagles Tripped
by Bulldogs, 49-32
Gabbert Pours in 18
Points for Victors
The O’Neill high Eagles fell
before the Ainsworth Bulldogs,
49-32, Friday night in a North
Central conference game played
here.
The Eagles drew first blood on
a freethrow by Bob Sanders. The
lead was shortlived as Roger
Brede scored a field goal for
Ainsworth. Duane Alton drove
for two points to put the Eagles
out in front, 3-2. This was the last
time the Eagles led as Ainsworth
went on to build a 10-3 lead.
The Eagles threatened late in
the second quarter on the sharp
shooting of Dick Gaskill and Lar
ry Conarro. However, the Bull
dogs still held a 23-18 margin at
halftime.
The third quarter was played
on fairly even terms but Ains
worth pulled away for good in
the final canto.
Gaskill and Conarro led the
Eagles with eight apiece. Bill
Gabbert led Ainsworth with 18,
followed by Roger Brede with 11.
The Ainsworth reserves had
too much strength for the O’Neill
reserves, winning handily 53-27.
L. Feilmier led Ainsworth with
23 while D. McKenny had 10 for
O’Neill.
