Who says there’s not variety

question we can ask - Who's
going to do the sponging job 9
I’ve encountered skunks, and
dad’s and mom’s threats to bury
me with only my head above
ground might have" logical basis
in the letter above- Remember
too, " burying clothes too long
might be as disastrous as the first
encounter.
Now to get back to the food
line, there’s a from Mrs-
Paul H.' Neidermyer, RD 1 Bare
ville, with some interesting re
cipes that look worth trying.

“This will also keep for weeks
and is a very good relish for any

Mrs Martin Huyett, RD 1, also

makes the recipe sound quite
tasty

Hint

the gum on it between pieces of
ice until the gum is so brittle you
can scrape or rub it off.
