KITCBEN-KLATTER MAGAZINE, JUNJ!I, 1957 SPRING NEWS FROM THE FARM Dear Friends: The past few days we have been enjoying beautiful warm spring weath­er and I have spent my time in the yard planting flower seeds, raking and burning and getting things trimmed up for summer. Our daffodils are through blooming, and the grape hya­cinths and tulips are in full bloom now. It seems to us as if this has been an awfully late spring because the trees and bushes are just now be­ginning to leaf out. It seems later to us too because we have had so much rain that Frank has been able to get very little field work done. Since our cultivated land is all on the bottom it takes so much longer for the ground to dry out enough to plow. While we are waiting for things to dry out Frank has been building some new fence and repairing old fence. I ex­pect when he can get started on the field work the old tractor will be go­ing day and night for awhile. All this rain brought the creek up to bank level and I must tell you some­thing that happened. Little Champ, our tiny Shetland pony, had found a place in the fence where he could get under and had been running off to Uncle August Johnson's to visit their horses. The day that the creek was running bank full, Frank and I took the jeep and drove over to have coffee with August and Delia in the after­noon and Little Champ was there in the yard. When we were ready to go home we started Champ out in front of us. He went along all right until we crossed the bridge and turned the corner to go the last half mile, and then at that point he decided that he was going back. Frank had gotten out of the jeep and it was impossible for Champ to go around us and go back by the road. Just before the creek reaches the bridge it widens out and there is a gradual slope from the road to the water and when it has as much water as it did that day it is a long ways across to the other side. When Champ saw that he couldn't go around us, he walked down to the edge of the water and turned around and looked at Frank who was calling to him to come back. Then he tossed his head and started in. I just sat there paralyzed! The current was so swift, the water was so deep, and it was so far across to the other side that I didn't see how he could possibly make it safely. Furthermore, it was the first time he had ever been in the water. Frank and I neither one said a word until he had crawled up safely to the other side. There was a space of about two feet of dry ground and then a fence. We turned around and went back to August's where Frank got some corn and went through the field to the fence where Champ was, and showed him the way back to the house. This time when we started home Champ was on one end of a rope and Frank was on the other end and he trotted along beside the jeep instead of in front of it. Frank and his sister, Edna Halls, both had birthdays this month, and as is our custom we had a,family dinner Another baby who brought vast changes to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Erm al Dilley of Shenandoah, is Matthew Richard - snapped here at two months with his proud mother. He was born into a home that had been wait­ing almost 15 years for its first baby! to celebrate. Sister Ruth came home from Kansas City for the weekend in between the birthdays so we had our dinner while she was here. I was so glad we had nice weather the weekend she was with us because she loves to spend her time outside. She and Frank cleaned out all the branches and trees that had broken off during the heavy snowstorm. I spent my time in the kitchen baking cookies and things for her to take back to Kansas City with her. Juliana spent her Easter vacation with us, coming on the train on Thurs­day afternoon and staying until Mon­day morning. I had promised her and Kristin that we would spend one day in Des Moines while she was here since Edna had been wanting to go and put her trip off until she could go with us. We were there when the stores opened and the girls had a won­derful time shopping around. They spent Saturday night with Aunt Bernie in Lucas and went to Sunday school and church with her. Recently, Edna Halls and I spent a very enjoyable afternoon at New Vir­ginia, Iowa, where we were the guests of the New Virginia Garden Club at a luncheon at the home of Mrs. Phil Irwin. The luncheon was a cooperative affair and all of the food was deli­cious. There were several desserts and Mrs. Leo Spencer had brought a dish of cherry crisp made from the recipe that was in Kitchen-Klatter some time ago. I had never made this but it was so elegant that I'm certainly going to make it some time soon. During their business meeting I heard their plans for the next meeting which was to be a May breakfast where everyone was to wear a hat they had made. I told them it sounded like such fun I wished I could be there to see all the fancy hats. Following the business meeting 1 showed the Hawaiian pictures that Mother and Dad had taken on their trip to Hawaii, and also several pic­tures of flowers and gardens in Shen­andoah. PAGE 13 Mother and Dad, Uncle Fred Fischer, Margery and Martin spent the day with us Sunday. If it rains on Satur­day night when I know the folks are driving up the following day I always call early Sunday morning to let them know that the last half mile of our dirt road will be muddy, and that is just what happened this time. We had two-tenths of an inch Saturday night (which was not in the forecast) and it was enough to make the roads slick. Frank said I had better call them and tell them that it had rained, since that was our agreement, but if they wanted to come anyway he would put the chains on our car and meet them at Uncle August's. We knew that if the sun should come out right away the roads might even be dry by the time they got here, but at the time I called the sky was heavily overcast and it was even sprinkling once in awhile. They decided to come ahead, and about a half-hour before they arrived the sun came out and every cloud dis­appeared and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Frank had to meet them, but by the time they wanted to start home Dad was able to drive his car down so they could load up here. What tastes better than fresh rhu­barb in the spring? We just love it and are really enjoying ours right now. I made two rhubarb cream pies for dinner last Sunday when the folks were here. I was so glad when the May Kitchen-Klatter came to see so many rhubarb recipes and I, for one, am going to try every one of them. Just four more weeks of school! Where has this school year gone? Tomorrow is my day to work in the office which means I have to get up and get around a little earlier in the morning, so this must be all for now. Sincerely, Dorothy STRINGS ATTACHED The bride-to~be is entertainment enough for a bridal shower, but we all like to see a touch of novelty. Here's a simple idea that was fun for everyone who came to our house one evening not so long ago: When Charline, the lucky girl, ar­rived she was a little confused to find herself commanded to stay in one particular room until further notice. As the other guests got here, they placed their gift packages in a big picnic basket which was to be my gift to the bride and which was hid­den behind the sofa. Ahead of time I had taken a new ball of string and tied the end to the picnic basket. Then the string was extended in a crazy kind of maze all over the house, behind tables, around chairs, through doors, etc. Finally, when everyone was on hand, Charline was summoned and given what was left of the ball of string with instructions to wind it up as she followed the path on which it led her. Eventually, of course, she reached the figurative pot of gold, in this case the picnic basket. An arrangement like this calls for the gift-giving as the first order of business, as you don't want the bride­to- be isolated too long.-Margaret Bar­nett.

WEAPON OF PEACE The bomb that science has fashioned Can tear the earth apart But the only weapon to bring world peace Is love in the human heart. -Ethel McMullen MEMORIAL So long as peonies bloom White and red- That long shall I remember My beloved dead Who sleep, where tall pines Murmur overhead, And peonies blossom, white and red. -Lulu Lamme KITCBEN-KLATTER MAGAZINE, JUNE, 1957 ANGELS IN APRONS SAINTS IN STRAW HATS We number so many, many 4-H Leaders among our friends that it seemed to us this particular tribute to their efforts might be quite a lift to their spirits. It was written by Mrs. Dave Hill of Weld County, Colorado and appeared in a copy of the Grand Island Daily Independent that a Ne­braska friend was kind enough to send to me. "What is a 4-H Leader? "Somewhere between the sternness of a parent, and the comradeship of a pal is that mysterious creature we call a 4-H leader. These leaders come in all shapes and sizes and may be male or female. But they all have one thing in common-a glorious twinkle in their eyes! "4-H leaders are found everywhere -at judging contests, junior fairs, square dances and talent shows-and they are always preparing for, sitting through, participating in, or recuper­ating from a meeting of some kind. They are tireless consumers of lll-uf­fins, experts at taking knots out of thread, peerless basketball coaches and spend hours on the telephone. "A 4-H leader is many things--an artist making a float for the Fourth of July, a doctor prescribing for an underfed calf, a counselor at camp, a lawyer filling out reports and a shoul­der to cry on when that dress just won't fit! "Nobody else is so early to rise and so late home at night. Nobody else has so much fun with such a large family of boys and girls. We sometimes for­get them, but we can't do without them. They receive no salary, but we can never repay them. "They are Angels in Aprons, Saints in Straw Hats. Their only reward is the love of the kids and the respect of the community. But when they look around them at the skills they've taught, and the youth they've built, there's an inner voice from somewhere that says, 'Well Done'." FISH FOR FORTUNES Party Fun Fasten the objects named (or pic­tures of them) to cards on which the verses are written. Then enclose each one in a separate envelope or box so no one can guess what it is. Put them all in a deep box. Players take turns "fishing" for a fortune. With eyes closed, they reach in and pick out an envelope. Then the player opens it, letting no one else see, and acts out the occupation the fortune tells him he will follow. As soon as the rest of the group either guess it or give up, the player reads the verse aloud. There might be a prize for the one voted the best in acting out his fortune. 1. Glue a coin to the card. You'll be a banker who handles much gold And will make a fortune before you are old. 2. Pencil You'll be the author of many a story Louise Fischer Alexander and the snowman made after Redlands' freak blizzard. And will know great fame and public glory. 3. Colored crayon You will paint pictures of great renown And bring acclaim to your home town. 4. Balloon You'll be the first to fly to the moon So practice now with this balloon. 5. Onion You "know your onions" so you'll be a good cook And serve fine meals in your breakfast nook. 6. Skein of purple embroidery floss You'll be a designer of wonderful gowns For ladies fair and queens with crowns. 7. Toy horn You will make music so bright and so gay That people will listen at work and at play. 8. Ball You will play baseball and bat a fly So high it will almost touch the sky. 9. Package of flower seeds You will grow flowers with colors bright And give them to friends to their great delight. 10. Ring You'll be a jeweler and make fine rings For the joy of lovers, plain folks and kings. 11. Small record You'll be an actor who will make folks laugh With your records on radio or phonograph. 12. Chalk You'll be a teacher, a ,profession bl est, And you'll help every pupil to do his best. 13. Toy rake and hoe You will make a fine garden grow And here to help are a rake and hoe. 14.

(broom) KITCHEN CHARADES: Pin the name of the kitchen article upon the back of each guest. They are alloted a certain time to find out what they are. They may ask any other guest one question which that person an­swers, "Yes or no" and acts out the name of the article. For instance, the question asked might be "Am I used in mixing up a cake?". Answer (for a mixing spoon) "Yes" and acts out stirring up the batter in a bowl. CORSAGE FOR THE BRIDE: There are two ways you might handle this. Have a basket of garden flowers, odds and ends of ribbon, lace paper doilies, etc., on a table and allow fif­teen minutes time to see who can make up the prettiest corsage which will be presented to the bride. The others might be passed around the group seated in a circle while some­one plays the Wedding March. When the music stops, each guest keeps the corsage she is holding and wears it. Or, for laughs, provide small kitchen tools, even a few garden vegetables, dish cloths, mesh dish scrapers, etc., and have guests make up corsages from those. THE BRIDE'S FIRST BAKING DAY Pass out slips of paper on which are written things one uses in baking such as soda, vanilla, sugar, cocoanut, raisins, chocolate, red pepper, cloves, flour, etc. Then the hostess will read the bride's recipe for her first hot rolls, ice-box cookies, upside-down cake-whatever recipes you wish. She will read the amounts and guests will take turns reading the ingredients on their paper. Thus when the recipe for hot rolls is read, some guest may re-spond by reading from her slip of paper (it will carry a number corre­sponding with the number of the recipe the hostess reads) such things as the following: 1 cup of cocoanut, a dash of cloves, 1 tsp. of soda and 2 cups of sugar. Ingredients and amounts can be juggled around in endless combi­nations. A BRIDE'S SCRAP BOOK Buy a loose leaf note book. Pass out the pages to the bride's friends. These pages are to be filled with recipes, poems, household helps or any other helpful material. Be sure each indi­vidual includes a snap shot of herself, her family or her home, if possible. The sheets can be gathered, placed in the cover and presented to the bride­to- be. Wedding Bells Wedding Bells is another lovely theme. An eggshell wedding bell tree is "a thing of beauty" and a joy to behold, but it does take a bit of work. However, the results are well worth it. First, select a nicely shaped branch from a lilac or other shrub for the tree. Paint this with silver paint, or you may prefer an "all white" ar­rangement. In this case, paint the tree white or cover with paste and sprinkle thickly with Epsom salts or mica snow flakes for a lovely glistening effect. For each bell, you will need a half white eggshell. Carefully make a small hole in the end and run a narrow white satin ribbon through to form clapper. Knot the end of the ribbon, leaving a short length for clapper and to this glue a cluster of silver shot cake decorations or sprinkle some sil­ver glitter on the ribbon after a bit of glue has been spread on it. Use other end of ribbon to tie bell to the tree. (One might use blue, pink or whatever color is chosen by bride for the ribbons on the bells.) The tree is easily anchored firmly upright by sticking it on a large needlepoint holder, then placing it in a small flower pot. Cover pot with pretty foil or paper. For a centerpiece, the base of the eggshell bell tree might be encircled with greens and flowers, or greens and tiny miniature paper umbrellas in dainty pastel colors. EGGSHELL BELL FAVORS might be same idea as used above with name of bridal couple carefully painted on side of each bell. For a luncheon. a single rosebud with one of these bells would make a lovely place favor. A-TISKET, A-TASKET, SEE THE BRIDE'S BASKET is another theme. As a centerpiece for this pantry show­er use a large woven basket deco­rated with flowers and ribbon on the handle and filled with various fancy canned and packed foods. FAVORS might be the smallest canned and packaged articles you can find which are later given to the bride. There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other is to get it. Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity, and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.

FREDERICK'S LETTER-Concluded are indebted to God for every superi­ority that is ours, debts that can only be paid with love, and we cannot show our love to God without placing our particular superiorities oat his service. God have mercy upon that person who is not willing to share his super­ior gifts and talents with those who have not been richly blessed. I think that my p·articular church here in Springfield has a superior appreciation of the meaning of Mem­orial Day, and it is our intention to share the blessing of that superiority with others in the community. You see, in my church there is an amaz­ingly large number of veterans of the two World Wars, and many of them are men who held high positions of leadership in the armed forces. These veterans have helped me to plan a magnificent patriotic Mem­orial Day service to be known as The Massing of the Colors. Color Guards from the various military and patriotic organizations of the city will parade their flags into the church where they will be suspended from the balconies throughout the service. It is hoped that this dramatic ser­vice will do much to increase the true -appreciation of Memorial Day. Through the years, little by little, the people have been making it a day of picnics more than a day of solemn recognition of the debt we owe to the people who have given their lives for their country. Sincerely yours, Frederick

JUNB. ltlf WHEN SPRING COMES How can I ever face the Spring without your haunting eagerness To hear the first lilt of the bluebird's song; To search each limb to look for bursting leaf and bud; To say "Begone to Winter," staying overlong? But when the daffodils and crocus lift their saucy heads, And wait your touch to free them from their winter's bands, I'll answer them for you, dear heart, And feel, through them, I almost touch your hands. When fragrance of pink apple blossoms calls the bees from winter sleep And snowy dog wood blossoms light each wooded hill, I'll feel your spirit reaching out, my dear, Moved by their beauty, as of old, living and loving still. -Gertrude Applegate RULES FOR DAILY LIFE Begin the Day With God; Kneel down to Him in prayer; Lift up thy heart to His abode, And seek His love to share. Open the Book of God; And read a portion there; That it may hallow all thy thoughts And sweeten all thy care. Go ·Through the Day With God; Whate'er thy work may be; Where'er thou art-at home, abroad, He still is near to thee. Converse In Mmd With God; Thy spirit heavenward raise; Acknowledge every good bestowed, And offer grateful praise. Conclude the Day With GodJ; Thy sins to Him confess, Trust in the Lord's atoning blood And plead His righteousness. Lie Down At Night With Go.d; Who gives His servants sleep; And when thou tread'st the vale of death He will thee guard and keep. -Unknown LUCILE'S LETTER-Concluded I say that she was "fortunate", and yet I must remember that she lost a baby after the kind of agonized strug­gle I referred to in my letter last month. In any event, I found it an interesting book. One of Juliana's teachers is coming to break.fast tomorrow morning to en­joy our garden, now in full bloom, so I must check the cupboard shelves and be sure that I have what I need before we go down town. Please write to me when you can. I love good, long letters filled with details about your daily life. I share my daily life with :rou, so isn't turn about fair play? Always . . . Lucile Just home from her weekly Brownie meeting is Emily Driftmier, Wayne and Abigail's eldest daughter. She takes her Brownie activities very seriously and is always on deck for whatever has been planned. COLLECT We believe in the Out-of-Doors as our garden; the wild flowers of the field, trees of the wood, the mosses and flowerless plants of the byways to be enjoyed . . . We believe in the music of the birds and the strength which comes from the hills in the silence of the night. We believe the beauty of the world is in the eyes and ears of the be­holder; the dainty cut fern and the clear, full song of the woodthrush are one, since each is a form of beauty. We believe that God is ever near man, as we can hear Him in the call of the chickadee, and see His handi­work in the colors of the mountain­side ... We believe, to be happy and free, we must respect all life, that those things which are our heritage may be enjoyed by our children . . . We believe that it is our duty to teach others, that they may learn as they follow the long brown path, to find peace and contentment which others have found. From the 1957 Oregon Garden Club Yearbook, Oregon, Missouri INSPIRATION Friendship fits comfortably about the shoulders Like a warm coat grown old through constant wear; Friendship is peace that people know in finding A quiet hour to share. It is the handrail on the steps of living By which we guide our stumbling upward way Onto a higher and clearer level To watch the close of day.

KITCHEN-KLATTER MAGAZINE, JUNE, 1957 P A G E 17 FOUR-THIRTY CHANT I do not have the time to write a poem about a fleecy cloud, or wild forget-me-nots upon a mountain top. My days are filled with ironing shirts and mending sox, and cleaning floors and baking pies. Sometimes I think that I'm an awful flop- And then it's five o'clock and They are here- Their voices ringing gladly through the rooms- "Is supper ready, Mom? . . I've got a date- And did you iron my blue shirt, I'll be late ... I answer as I always do-"Yes, Dear." -Molly Knoll MARGERY'S LETTER-Concluded a lovely antique cup and saucer, the very large old-fashioned kind. Oliver claimed it immediately as his own for at last he has a cup that will hold enough coffee! It really is very beauti­ful and I bought it for my cup and saucer collection, but it is so much nicer to have it used every day and really enjoyed. I also bought a piece of milk glass and a very sweet Chinese dish. At another sale a few days earlier I bought a large box of books-sixty­two books for three dollars. I could scarcely wait to get home and. sort them over and was very pleased with what I found. I also bought two large walnut footstools which I hope to re­finish and reupholster. They open for storing so I put one at the foot of Martin's bed to hold his extra blanket and the other in his playroom to hold toys. Speaking about picnics , . . we have had such nice outdoor meals at Wayne's and Abigail's using their out­door grill that we decided we would like one for ourselves. I found a good bargain on one so bought it. It isn't as fancy as some but it does the job. The next time we go to Frank and Dorothy's, Frank is going to cut some hickory chips for us. How convenient to have a large timber so you can supply the family with hickory chips! The scouts in Shenandoah had their big show last night. The boys were very excited over it and have been working on displays for months. A thousand boys from four counties took part. There were items of handiwork ranging from scrapbooks to bird­houses, and demonstrations reflecting Indian lore. There were camping, cooking and pioneer scenes, demon­strations on radio, health and safety. It really was a tremendous under­taking and certainly the den mothers and scout masters all over the country • should be commended for the hours of their time so freely given to our boys. We are looking forward to a family picnic which will end this year's scout­ing activities. Our Church circles are having a coffee next week to wind up the meet­ings for the year. Tomorrow I am go­ing to spend the afternoon making little favors, and I'll tell you more of the details next month.

KITCHEN-KLATTER MAGAZINE, JUNE, 1957 "UNSOLICITED ADVICE ON UNDERSTANDING MEN" By Esther Sigsbee June is the traditional time for wed­dings. Couples by the hundreds sign up for a lifetime partnership. There's the bride in misty white, the hand­some bridegroom and the bridesmaids in lovely dresses. There are flowers in profusion, guests in confusion, gor­geous gifts and warm wishes for hap­piness. Then, after the honeymoon, the bride packs away her gown in tissue paper and they settle down to the business of ordinary living. Almost before she figures out what to do with the four pressure cookers given to her as wedding presents, she finds out that the dashing, debonair creature she married is a mere man, after all. And it is with a man she has to live. What else is there for a girl to marry? I wonder who ever started the ru­mor that it is the women who are hard to understand? Maybe it was some man too lazy to bother with finding out what made his wife tick and who just threw up his hands and said women were made to be loved, not understood. Or maybe it was some gal who started the idea that women are so complicated to help make her seem mysterious and add a little in­terest. For my money, men are just as hard to understand as women. Maybe even a little more difficult! I have put in nearly seventeen years trying to understand men-one man in particular, and believe me, I'm just getting started. But if it would help any of the current crop of June brides, I'd be willing to contribute some unsolicited advice on the subject of understanding men. Not that I expect it'll help much because living with a man is something every girl has to work out for herself. But at least the advice won't cost you any­thing. We shall start with the assumption that most men, at least the ones you and I married, are pretty nice, They bark and growl a little once in a while but they are trainable and they re­spond to good treatment. With a little patience, you can get them to answer your command and if you start early enough and are firm enough with them they can be entirely house­broken. This advice is truly double value, for it is also the same technique to apply in case you ever take to raising poodles. If you are more interested in having a good husband than a well-trained house pet, you don't try to order him around at all. There are more subtle and lots more effective methods of getting your own way. The person who said you can catch more flies with sugar than you can with vinegar wasn't kidding and it sure applies to living with and loving a man. Above all, never, never nag, for nagging has ruined more marriages, or at least taken the joy out of them, than any other single factor. Men are terribly proud of being male. Nothing hurts their self-esteem more than a hint that they might be considered the least bit sissified. That's why it took generations to con­vince men that housework isn't for women only and then it was really the passing of the old-fashioned hired girl that turned the trick. Men are more hairy than women (except on the scalp), they have deeper voices and they are much stronger. It's a good thing to admire all these pecul._ iarly male attributes. It will not only flatter your man; you may even get a lot of heavy furniture moved just by admiring his strong, strong muscles. When men get angry they need physical force to let off steam. This is true because by custom they are denied the feminine luxury of a good cry. It's a little anti-social to go around hitting people so they have to work off their mad by hitting in­animate objects, shouting and using objectionable language. Or by com­plaining to their wives. On many occasions a husband will come home and raise an awful fuss about a skimpy meal or a sloppy liv­ing room when it's really an ineffi­cient employee. a critical boss or a difficult customer that's eating him. Or he might be worrying about bills, the raise in wholesaler's prices or a deadline contract. And, there's always an outside chance that he's angry because the meal really is skimpy or the living room actually messy! The double standard is still very much in operation even if women have long since gained the vote and are found in most places that men are found. What's sauce for the gander is not sauce for the goose! A man may consider profanity excusable as long as it comes out of his mouth, not his wife's. He thinks he's just as attractive as he ever was when he sits around with his shoes off, unwashed and sporting a three days growth of beard. She's supposed to look glam­orous- fix her hair and put on some lipstick. And a purely male extrava­gance never seems to put the family budget out of kilter the way the pur­chase of some feminine frippery does, You'll be happier if you just accept this double standard and not try to fight it. It applies to many more fields than faithfulness and morality. Men expect women to be a little more re­fined, a lot more virtuous, much less impatient and infinitely more under­standing than they are. And trying to live up to our part of the double standard gives us gals such a lovely feeling of superiority! Men are an interesting, sometimes exasperating and always worthwhile subject to try to understand. Apply yourself to it as if your life depended on it-for it does. At least, the happi­ness of your marriage does and that's an awfully important part of life. Now, is all this information on understanding men perfectly clear to you June brides? Because if it is, maybe you can turn around and ex­plain it to me. Discontent is the penalty we must pay for being ungrateful for what we have. • • • There is no virtue in doing what you like; like what you do.
