Time Again to Pack Lunches
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE, Homemaking Editor
Before we can turn around
many a rural mother will be
thinking about packing school
lunches once again. Also, it’s still
picnic and sandwich time.
No need to forego parties and
social get-togethers when the
mercury climbs. For your after
noon ice tea party make honey
orange spread. The kids may en
joy this for a school lunch, too.
Spread it on flavorful nut
bread. Combine one-third ounce
package of softened cream cheese,
one tablespoon honey and tea
spoon grated orange rind. Mix
until creamy.
Here’s another idea for school
or party lunches. It’s a quick
energy snack, just what the chil
dren need. It's called:
HONEY BUTTER CRUNCH
SANDWICHES
To make enough filling for four
sandwiches, combine one - half
„ cup peanut butter, one-fourth cup
orange juice and one-fourth cup
honey. Mix until smooth. Add
one-fourth cup chopped pecans,
spread on enriched bread and top
with a lettuce leaf.
If your planning a party
luncheon, a festive sandwich loaf
is nice. Use an unsliced loaf of
day old enriched sandwich bread
from the bakery. Trim crusts and
slice the loaf into five layers
lengthwise. Between each two
layers, spread your favorite
sandwich fillings — tuna salad,
egg salad, crabmeat salad and
cheese spreads. Frost the filled
loaf with softened creamed cheese
thinned to spreading consistency.
Chill in refrigerator several hours
before serving. Garnish with ra
dish slices.
Ever heard of Submarine sand
wich? It’s an epicure’s delight.
Make it like this:
Purchase a loaf of French bread
from the bakery. Split the crusty
loaf in half - lengthwise and
spread with butter or margarine.
Then, fill prepared loaf with as
many different kinds of cheese
and sausage or meat as you like.
Put in tomato slices, cucumber
slices and green onion, too, for
freshness. Before replacing the
top of the loaf, sprinkle the fill
ing with French dressing.

‘Tizzy’ Wins—
Dear Blanche:
I know you are busy as a one
armed paper hanger and so am I,
trying to can and freeze plenty of
food for my large family for the
forthcoming winter.
I thought I would try to grab
enough time to earn a three
months subscription and pass
along some canning recipes for
others to try.
Our kids like mustard pickles
and I use the following method:
One pint of small cucumbers,
one pint of large cucumbers (slic
ed), one pint of pickling onions,
one cup string beans (cut in half
inch slices), one pint small green
tomatoes* one pint cauliflower
(cut in small pieces), three red
peppers (chopped), three green
peppers (chopped), one cup small
carrots (sliced).
All vegetables should be tender.
Soak in brine (one cup salt to one
gallon water) overnight. Drain
and soak in clear water for three
hours. Mix a sufficient amount
of vinegar and water in equal
quanties to cover the vegetables.
Let stand for an hour and then
heat to the simmering point.
Make dressing by mixing: lVi
cup white sugar, four tablespoons
flour % tablespoon turmeric, one
teaspoon celery salt, four table
spoons powdered mustard. Add
three pints hot vinegar slowly,
stirring to make a smooth paste.
Cook the mixture over a pan of
hot water until the sauce thick
ens.
Drain the vegetables thorough
ly. Pour the mustard dressing
over while they are hot and sim
mer for five minutes. Pack pick
els into hot, sterilized glass jars
and seal tightly, at once.
I’ll pass along the way I make
tomato catsup, too. It may help
someone as it is shorter than some
methods of making it.
TOMATO CATSUP
Six pounds of tomatoes (half
peck), three red peppers (sliced
and seeds removed), two medium
sized onions, two tablespoons salt,
1/3 cup sugar, two teaspoons cel
ery salt, two teaspoons ground
mustard, one tablespoon whole
allspice, one tablespoon cloves,
one tablespoon cinnamon, one
teaspoon paprika, two cups vin
egar.
Cook the tomatoes, peppers and
onions together without adding
water. Press through a strainer
and measure the pulp. To pulp
(four quarts) add the salt, sugar
and spices. Tie whole spices loose
ly in a bag during the cooking,
and remove the bag before pour
ing the catsup into the jars.
Ground spices except paprika will
darken the catsup. Rapid cooking
(being careful not to scorch cat
sup) will give a better color than
slow cooking. Cook ingredients,
except the vinegar, rapidly for an
hour, add vinegar and cook mix
ture until thick. Pour, while very
hot into hot sterilized jars or bot
tles at once.

Check Bounces
After 209-Mile
Taxi Haul to Holt
STUART — A down-hearted
cabbie from Omaha hoped for
the quick arrest of a free
spending, generous-tipping gent
who wrote a bum check to cov
er a trip to Stuart — 209 miles
from Omaha.
Detective Sgt. Charles Crick
of Omaha gave this account:
The man hired a cab at 3 a.m.,
Monday, August 15, for a round
of night spots. After several
stops, he said he was out of
money but asked the cabbie to
drive him to Valentine. Instead,
he was taken to cab headquar
ters whore officials quoted the
price of a fare to that town.
The man balked but agreed
on the price of $92 to Stuart.
Then he went to a downtown
hotel and had a clerk fill out a
check which he signed with an
illegible scrawl.
He returned to the cab com
pany, deposited the check and
was driven to his destination.
The check bounced for two
reasons. The man had no ac
count and the check was for two
amounts—one hundred dollars
and $102—written into different
places on the check.
Detective Crick said the extra
money was to have been a tip.
