Column to Be Discontinued Till Fa’ll
Favorite Cherry and Strawberry Recipes This Week
The recipes column this week
consists of several recipes left
over from previous columns.
In particular, there are some
cherry and strawberry recipes
Before we get to these, how
ever, we want to thank our many
leaders who have taken the time
to sit down and send us a note
with their recipe We knew that
housewives have plenty to do
and that something of this nature
takes a little extra effort and
concern on their part We are
grateful that so many of our
readers felt the column was
worthwhile and that they should
do their little bit to try to make
it successful.
Discontinued Till Fall
We have heard from several
homemakers that summertime
is a very busy period with plant
ing, harvesting, canning and all
the many ’other things which
make summertime the most
hectic time on the farm. There
fore, we have decided to dis
continue the recipe column tem
porarily until sometime next
fall.
We have several recipes re
maining in our files, however,
and will present part of them
this week and the remainder in
a future column as space per
mits.
We still have about two dozen
shoo fly pie recipes and these
are also 'being held for publica
tion sometime in the future.
Readers with shoo fly recipes
should continue to send them in
for inclusion in our shoo fly pie
edition.
We suggest that homemakers
keep our column in mind and
feel free to send along a favor
ite recipe at any 'time. If we
can’t publish it right away, we’ll
hold it for an appropriate time
for publication with other sim
ilar recipes.

For our readers fortunate
enough to have summer-long
fresh strawberries or who have
put some strawberries in the
freezer, we have some straw
berry recipes.

more RDI, recommends the fol

Add the Sours
We regret an error appeared
in one of our recipes which ap
peared in the July 17 issue.
Those of you familiar with the
canniing of pickles would im
mediately recognize that some
thing was 'amiss in the recipe
from Mrs. Benjamin L. Green,
Washington RDI, for Sweet-Sour
Pickles in which the sour in
gredient was inadvertantly omit
ted.
The corrected recipe is as fol
lows. We suggest our readers
try this recipe, which sounds like
an easy but very good one:
Sweet-Sour Pickles
1 gallon pickle slices (do not
peel)
2 tablespoons salt
Cover with cold water and soak
over night.
Drain next morning and add
enough sugar-vinegar solution to
cover pickle slices. This is made
in the proportion of, one cup
sugar to one cup vinegar. Onion
rings may he added if you like.
Add two -tablespoons pickling
spice.
Heat through, only till pickles
have changed color. Put in jars
and seal.

and Mrs. Richard Holloway.

Here’s a quick and easy recipe
from Mrs. A. N Kilmer, Narvon
RDI, called Strawberry Whip:
Ida’s Notebook
Across the corners of my son’s bedroom
hangs a string of ribbons collected through 4-H
project competition. Each boy hopes to collect
just a few more than his brother.
With several children involved in 12 dif
ferent projects, it is quite hectic sometimes.
A bookcase is being built, an old caned chair
refinished, rocks collected sweet com sprayed,
pigs fattened and don’t forget the calves. They
must be washed, trimmed and led for the dairy
show.
Whether they vin a ribbon or not, they
will surely have had a learning experience.
We’ve had manjr showers recently and
with each heavy rain the Conestoga, looks as
though it were flowing with chocolate milk.
- Another cause for the muddy
of the water is the number of
motorboats which speed up and
down its breadth. They use
powerful motors and even tow
skiers. Thus, they wash away
the banks and cause trees to fall
into the stream.

My oldest daughter and a girl
friend have left on a six week
camping trip across the United
States.
What a chore to pack your
most needed and cherished pos
sessions in a car for a year’s stay
in Washington to take a graduate
course.
The little ones gave the tent a
trial test in the front yard and
reported that rain sounds like
popcorn when it beats on the
tent.
Oh, to be young and fancy free
again.
Why are some dishwashers
called “built-in” models?
Aren’t all dishwashers built
in except portables ?
“Built-in” or undercounter
dishwashers are unfinished
on the top, sides and back
and are designed to be built
into a row of base cabinets,
under a continuous counter
top. They are permanently
connected to water, drain and
electricity. These are natu
rally front-loading appliances.
Strawberry Whip
2 egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups mashed strawberries
Beat egg whites (till very stiff,
add sugar and strawberries and
beat again. Serve immediately.

For working the soil,/ a
gardener should get a spad
ing fork (for turning the soil)
and a spade (for turning and
digging holes). Any deep dig
ging calls for a long-handled
pointed shovel. For leveling
the turned earth, get an iron
rake. A hand, trowel is good
for setting out small plants.
For cultivating, you will
need either a-pronged culti-.
vator or a hoe. You can get
a combination hoe that has
a wide blade on one side, a
two-pointed blade on the
other.
