About Using Cranberries
For Economy
Here we are again in the month
that’s supposed to come in like a
lion and go out like a you-know
what. But it seems that more
often than not, March comes in
like the lamb and exits with a
grand finale worthy of the King of
Beasts.

You
Heard ?
The only safe assumption is
that March weather is un
predictable. So the wise shopper
will plan to stock foods that are
adaptable for light, mild-weather
meals, as well as for heartier,
wintry lunches and suppers.
Cranberry products are a good
choice. One special reason for
using them now is that canned
cranberry sauce and cranberry
juice cocktail have made it onto
the US. Department of
Agriculture’s monthly Plentiful
Foods List. Excessive in
ventories are reported, and good
buys for consumers are an
ticipated, says USDA’s Con
sumer and Marketing Service.
Keep cranberry juice cocktail
chilled and ready to serve as a
perky breakfast beverage. For
best nutritive benefits, be sure
the bottle or can says the product
is fortified with vitamin C.
Ice-cold cranberry juice
cocktail also makes a luscious
opener at dinnertime, especially
tempting and eye-catching with a
scoop of lime sherbet floating
atop.
If the weather turns cold
cranberry juice cocktail is still in
there pitching. Heat it up with
stick cinnamon, cloves, or grated
orange or lemon rind. Then serve
it steaming, for a warming,
cheery snack.
Cranberry sauce is another
versatile item. A molded gelatin
salad makes a light and lovely
luncheon dish and cranberry
sauce makes it better. The whole
berry variety adds color, flavor,
and texture. Use lemon or
raspberry gelatin as a start, add
other fruits and chopped nuts,
and serve with a mayonnaise
dressing.
Cranberry sauce fits into
heartier lunchtime main dishes,
too. A tasty and easy-to-make
idea is for open sandwiches.
Place slices of turkey or chicken

on toast, and top generously with
heated whole-berry cranberry
sauce. Why not plan to add
cranberry products to your
shopping list while they’re
plentiful!

as the happiest time of your life.
You’re probably remembering
the days when you laughed and
played and had little or no
responsibilities—and no bills to
pay! But you’re forgetting the
worries and fears you had as a
child.
Remember when your parents
left you with the neighbors for a
day while they went on a trip?
You wondered if and when they’d
return. Or the time your mother
went to the hospital? Everyone
said she was all right—but you
weren’t sure. Now you may
wonder why your child cries
when you place him in a similar
situation.

places may also have frightened
you. These fears were very real
but sometimes you were
ridiculed. Fear is a feeling and
that’s why it’s very complicated.
You usually fear things you know
little about. To help your child,
try to make him understand and
learn about the things he fears.
Be sympathetic and discuss your
child’s fears with him. If he has a
chance to put his fears into
words, he may find there’s
nothing to.fear. Building courage
is an antidote to fear. Look for
chances to help your child
develop courage.
Just as fear was real to you, it
is real to your child. And he needs
to feel that you understand him
and are sympathetic.
