The Frontier Woman . . . Cake Mix Tricks Needed By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Homemakin* Editor Nowadays our homemakers use a great many cake mixes and other mixes and lots of you know different tricks that can be em ployed wtih cake mixes. At club the other day, the women were talking about new dishes and one of the women said for a new taste treat she often substituted orange juice for wa ter in the favorite white cake mix that she used. Lots of homemakers use white cake mixes or the spice one for upside down cakes with pineap ple, brown sugar and shortening. One woman said that when she used a white cake mix for a pine apple upside down cake, she drained off the pineapple juice and used it for liquid in the cake mix for a more definite pineap ple flavor than usual. Many of our r&ader homemak ers probably know all sorts of tricks with cake mixes, cookie mixes, pudding mixes and such. If you do know some, why ° don’t you take the time to write us a letter and pass them along to us? I know our readers would like to hear about them. Many homemakers make up white cake mix and use a thin cooked pudding mix as a topping for a sort of short cake, or else they use sweetened crushed fresh fruit or frozen fruit over baked cake mixes in short cake form, too. If you haven’t yet employed this idea, now is a good time to try it out on the family. Many homemakers with freezers use two boxes of cake mixes at once. They bake them, varying the color of layers, or making a marble cake by spooning in two different colors, and then freeze one of the cakes, while the other is served to the family. Thus, food fnr an other day is baked and set aside. Cakes made from mixes should not be frozen for too long a period as they are not as moist as some, but they can be frozen success fully for a while. Some of the mixes freeze better than others. — tfw — Broken Dish Scolding Lessens— Page, Nebr. Dear Blanche: I’ve been maried eight years and this year, on February X, my husband presented me with a new set of dishes. I was really glad as I was getting so short of dishes, ■you see when one has children, dishes have a way of getting brok en. Just after I scold the children for breaking a dish, mama tarns around and breaks one herself, so I’ve decided to stop scolding so much. I was certainly surprised when I picked up my Frontier one day and saw a letter written by Mrs. Clarence Johnson. You see, I thought it was a letter written by my aunt in Spencer by that name. But this was from a lady in Stu art. This lady had also mentioned in her letter, where she had no ticed my aunt’s name one time in The Frontier. Would like to say these two families had gotten together and had a nice time. Isn’t it nice how just a letter can bring people together who’d never have met otherwise? I guess I’ve chatted with you by letter long enough. Don’t want to make my letter tiresome. I’ll close with a recipe for raisin cream pie which our family likes very much. RAISIN CREAM PIE One cup raisins, one cup sweet cream, one cup sugar, two egg yolks, Vz teaspoon cinnamon, % teaspoon nutmeg, one tablespoon cornstarch. Blend all ingredients and boil together until thickened. Put into baked pie shell and top with meringue. I sometimes make my recipe for this pie a little larger, depend ing on the size of the pie pan. Sincerely MRS. REUBEN REDLINGER — tfw — FRUIT CREAM TOPPING FOR CAKE MIXES Want to try this the next time you make up a spice or plain cake or an angel cake mix? Use two cups fruit (drained), four to five tablespoons sugar, one teaspoon lemon juice, a lit tle salt, one cup sour cream (whipped). Cut fruit into small pieces, add the sugar, lemon juice and salt. Fold into the whip ped cream and chill. Serve over sponge cake or between layers of spice of plain cake.

Phone 582-R-2 —— O'NEILL Rivalry Comes to an End By MRS. N. D. ICKES, SR. Special Feature Correspondent PAGE—A rivalry existing since 1926 and unrecognized until the close of this current school year has flourished in spite of the fart the participants, their friends and relatives were unware of its ex istence. It has been a rivalry between the children of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Ballantyne continued in the person of Faye Irene, daughter of the late J. O. and the second Mrs. Ballantyne. The other half of the rivalry has been carried by the children of Postmaster and Mrs. Bryan Stevens. Twenty-nine years ago, Miss Mabel Allen, teacher of the pri mary department at Page, wel comed Robert Ballantyne and Marjorie Stevens as they made their first appearance in the school room. After 12 years spent in the Page schools they weie graduated with the class of 1933. In 1928, Roy Ballantyne and Elvin Stevens showed up for en rollment and were members of the 1940 graduating class. Because no one sensed the im portance of starting a Ballantyne and a Stevens at the same time, Carlotta Ballantyne got a year’s head start over Kenneth Stevens and was graduated in 1942, while he received his diploma in 1943. The families here reverted to type and Norris Ballantyne and Barbara Stevens were graduated (without argument or investiga tion) in 1944. Unce again the pairs were brok en and the Stevens came up with an extra contestant. Carol Stevens was graduated with the class of 1950 and her sister, Lorna, re ceived her diploma with the class of 1952, neatly trapping a Ballan tyne (Jimmie) in between, sand wich wise, with those who were graduated in 1951. By now it was a neck-and-neck race (though no one was aware of it) and Faye Irene Ballantyne and Wanda Stevens, who both drew up at the starting line in 1943, came in together at the fin ish with a grand flourish of hon ors, the last representatives of their rival families. They were graduated with the class of 1955 and with their brothers and sis ters were eligible to attend the alumni banquet. Sometimes a Ballantyne has won in competition with a Ste ven and then again a Stevens has been victorious, never guessing that the honor of the family as well as their own personal rating was at stake. Roy Ballantyne played basket ball while Elvin and Kenneth Stevens went out for both basket and football and were captains of their teams. Faye Irene Ballantyne and Wanda Stevens were volley ball competitors from the time they were in grade school. Marjorie, Carol and Wanda Stevens and Roy and Faye Irene Ballantyne were members of the Glee club. All of the Ballantynes and Mar jorie and Wanda Stevens began Wanda Stevens band careers in the grades and Wanda was a majorette, a dis tinction that no Ballantyne ever challenged. Norris Ballantyne and Barbara Stevens finished with grades in the upper quarter of their class of 24. Jimmie Ballantyne won a scholarship from the Milford trade school and used it. Fayne Irene Ballantyne was valedictorian of the class of 1955 and Wanda was salutatorian. Faye Irene was editor-in-chief of this year’s annual. Lorna Stevens was salutatorian of her class and received the Uni versity of Nebraska regents’ scholarship. So far the rivalry has begun and ended in the Page school system as no two have attended college together or “clashed” any where along the line. Should anyone care to tally honors to decide whether the Ballantynes or the Stevenses are the victors, they might as well decide by the time-honored “einey, meiney, miney” method of of decision for there ain’t any “mo”—Ballantynes or Stevenses. Congressman Miller Raps NATO Treaty “American military personnel serving overseas are subject to the jurisdiction and the laws of the country in which they serve. A U.S. soldier stationed in Germany can be arrested by German civil authorities, tried in a German court without the benefit of coun sel and, if he does not speak or understand the language, with out knowledge of the charge filed against him.” The foregoing statement was issued this week by Rep. A. L. Miller (R) of Nebraska’s Fourth congressional district. “In the last two years in Japan, it is estimated that more than 1, 200 servicemen have been jailed for law violations which, in the United States, would be petty of fenses. In Yugoslavia, a com munist - dominated country, an American serviceman can be tried in a communist court by a com munist judge. “This tragic situation exists as a result of a NATO treaty, ratifi ed by the senate last year. It js wrong. It deprives our military of fundamental rights guaranteed by our constitution, rights these people are sworn to defend. It is a sad commentary on American for eign relations that our citizens should suffer under such outrage eous agreements,” Miller declar ed. Visitors Here— Mrs. T. F. Grady of Denver, visited at the H. J. Hammond home and with other relatives in O’Neill. MILLER THEATER — Atkinson —■ Fri.-Sat. June 10-11 mmmmm __ . Sun.-Mon.-Tues. June 12-13-14 ■_ ip Wed.-Thurs.
