The Frontier Woman . . . Even Baby Catches Cold in Spring By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Homemaking Editor Everyone s busy these days, planting garden, getting their flower seeds and bulbs ready for planting, and wondering how soon they dare put out tomato plants without danger of having them frosted. Some folks don’t have their housecleaning done yet, so it’s, really a busy time. Maybe at a time like this you’d like to make a quick casserole from noodles and mushroom soup. Allow an ounce of uncooked noodles per serving. Thin condensed cream of mushroom soup to sauce consist ency. Then fold cooked noodles into it. Season with salt and pep • per. If you have extra bits of vegetables in your refrigerator, include them in the casserole. Sprinkle the top with buttered crumbs and bake in a moderate oven of 350 F. until the casserole is heated through and crumbs are browned. Serve with tomato aspic salad and hot muffins. Some time when you want to add interest to your tomato aspic salad, or to other salads, cook shell macaroni and add it. The contrast is us ually very pretty. Does your family belong to the early picnickers? If so, you might want to try this: LUCKY SKILLET LUNCH Melt Vi cup fat or drippings in skillet. Add % pound ground ham and Vi cup chopped onion. Brown lightly. Stir in 1 Vi cups condensed boullion (1016-ounce can), one cup water and one teaspoon Wor cestershire sauce. Mix well. Add two cups peas and simmer five minutes. Fold in four ounces .medium noodles. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes longer. Serve hot. Serves four nicely. — tfw — Playful Dog Takes Shine to Boots— Dear Blanche: The calendar says it’s spring but with the wind blowing like sixty, it doesn’t feel much like it here. There are still a few remnants of snowdrifts under trees and in pro tected places. A good thing is that spring weather is changeable—so I hope it changes for the better tomorrow. Several times lately I have washed, hung the laundry out to dry and brought it in nearly dry, all except corners or maybe a few of the heavier pieces. That’s such a relief after drying clothes in the house for so long. Especially with the daily dozen for the baby and since we’re short of space, the laundry usually is hung in the front room and draped over the heater. I find that hangers are a big help for indoor drying. If clothes are put on hangers and hung up near the ceiling, they dry so much faster. It’s easier, too, if your anklets, hankies and washcloths are on hangers. Spring’s changeable weather has one disadvantage at least. Ev eryone seems to come down with severe colds, even the baby. The youngsters were all so sure spring came with the first warm day that they shed jackets and scarves. They couldn’t wait to discard overshoes, and I couldn’t blame them, because I was cer tainly tired of wet, drippy boots myself. It was almost impossible to keep floors half-way clean. We couldn’t leave boots on the porch because the dog always v/ould run away with them. Be sides, I don’t like cold overshoes in winter. An argument that keep* going the rounds here is whether we’ve had a good winter. I say, definite ly, up until just before Christmas, for which I’m extremely grateful. Hubby insists that we’ve had a good winter period, because we didn’t have many below zero days. Our two thermometers both played out—one from the terrific heat last summer and one very mysteriously in the winter. There was definite evidence that some one must have struck a match to see how cold it was, and Droke the glass tube. But everyone looks innocent and asks: “Who could have done it?” I only know it wasn’t I. A fewr hours of sunshine and it makes a person feel like starting gardening. I planted to mato seeds indoors quite some time back and hope for a few plants. Every year I solemnly swear F1I raise my own, and every year I end up buying tomato plants. For some reason I have never had any luck. Some people have just as good luck planting them in rows in the garden as soon as it’s warm. Mother always does and hers always seem to catch up with mine. Maybe it’s because my enthusi asm takes a beating after a few good hot, dry days and a swarm of bugs and insects. Last year wasn’t so bad but here’s hoping for a better one this year. Our ap ple trees froze last year so I’m hoping for a good crop this year —lots of apple pie, apple crisp and fried apple rings. “SALLY” Clinic for Cripples Set at Ainsworth An extension clinic for crippled children will be held at the ele mentary grade school in Ains worth Saturday, April 16.
