It’s called Best of All Days, since it is built around the central theme that today, right now, is the best of all day in O’ Neill. Cooking schools, like stage shows, always arouse curiosity among residents of the commun ity in which the school is to be held. How did these cooking school* get *tarted? Where do they originate? How did this newspaper get wind of them and how did it come to spon sor one? What’s the story be hind the story on Best of All Days? Best of All Days w^as dreamed up during brain storming sessions held by the staff of Farm and Home Sec tion magazine. Three years ago the idea was presented to a group of national food product producers. It did not take long before all parties concerned realized that Best of All Days was hot and could not be held back. Here was an event tailored directly to and for the homemakers of rural America. Two years ago the Best of All Days cooking operation was put on the road covering nine states — Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, North Dakota, Wis consin, Iowa and South Dakota. This year the schools will make the rounds of those nine states again plus one additional — Ne braska. Each year 100 Best of All Days cooking schools are put on. Us ually the schedule works out so that 50 of the schools are sched uled for the Fall — September, October and the first two weeks of November — and the remain ao suuuuis axe suuea xur uie Spring — January, February, March, April and sometimes in to May. Through experience Rural Gra vure has learned that homemak ers are simply too busy to be out attending cooking schools during the summer months or around the Christmas holidays. So no schools are put on during the months of June, July or August or the latter part of November, all of December and the first part of January. The schools are always news paper-sponsored in cooperation with the national sponsors which this year include Brer Rabbit Mo lasses, Red Star Yeast, Van Camp's Pork and Beans, Alcoa Wrap, Pillsbury Flour and the Mestle Company. Organizer and ictual parent of the Best of All Cays run of cooking schools is itural Gravure Publications with :wo of its newspaper magazine sections: F arm and Home Sec ion and DAKOTA Magazine. Only those newspapers which , •egularly include either Farm md Home Section, or in the Da iotas Dakota magazine, may sponsor a Best of All Day cook ng school. The Best of All Days Hooking School which homemak ers in O'Neill on Thursday, Oct. 5 at 1 pm in the Legion hall will >e atteaing will be typical of all he other hundreds of schools >ut on since the program was tarted. The usual free cookbooks will be given to every woman at tending. the usual large bags of groceries will be given away along with the many other pri zes and everything the borne economist bakes will also be handed oat. No admission is charged and the attendance at almost every Best of Al Days cooking school has been tre mendous. Last year's schools averaged over 600 homemakers per school with the total atten dance reaching well over 60,000. She will demonstrate the lat est techniques in fexxi prepara tion and pass on to the home makers present recipes collected by Rural Gravure and consider ed by the Farm and Home Sec tion and Dakota Magazine home economists as the best avaidable.
