PAGE TWO You Lows Me By Al Himself We have been a ‘bachelor’ for two weeks. The boss is spending her time with June in New Jersey. We have this ‘working at the of- fice and still keeping house’ pro- blem” now down to a science. Never being a selfish person, we think it would be nice to pass on some of the knowledge gained to a few friends who may be in the same boat we are now. Always clean the coffee pot im- mediately after coming home from work. If you let it go to next morning the time consumed is just - sufficient for over-frying the eggs, and if there is one thing we dislike, it is hard fried eggs. Don’t get exasperated when time is fleeting if you can’t get the cof- fee cream to pour out of the can because a film has blocked the holes. Remember your wife isn’t there with a handy bobby pin. Just keep a lead pencil on the kit- chen table, and jab it into the hole. If you use a soft lead pencil some of the lead is liable to scrape off onto the can and may find its way into the coffee, and who wants to expose himself to lead poisoning? Many husbands, while batching throw away the crusts of bread that the wife generally eats: be- cause she doesn’t want to waste anything. Your conscience bothers you when you waste these crusts, but your conscience will be clear when you learn of my discovery. | Crusts are the nicest things for | wiping butter or cheese from knives. When cleaning silverware that way it is not necessary to wash it and it won't get rusty from lying in the sink all day. If you like a cream’ cheese and jelly sand- wich for lunch as we do, the crust may also be used for laying the cheese out to cut it on and then you will have one less soiled dish staring you in the face when you come home at night. If you put off sweeping the kit- chen floor until it becomes a slight annoyance, but not enough of an annoyance to send you look- ing for a broom, spill a half tea spoon of sugar on the floor and you'll get a broom promptly. Whenever = possible discourage your wife from laying in these minute steaks. Your better half will fill the refrigerator with food before leaving you, but tell her “No minute steaks”. They look simple enough to cook, but it is the tools, you need to: get them ready for’ the table that throws Sponsor Dances you. The directions on the package state that you shall take one or two steaks from the box, remove the thin paper dividing them and place in a pan butter side down. After sizzled for half a minute, take a pancake turner and flop over, Now one time while we were at a County fair we bought a pancake turner. It was the grandest thing that man ever invented. One end was the turner, on the other a can opener, a needle threader and a pickle jar opener. It was the best twenty cents worth that we ever got in our life. The demonstrator said it could even be used as a shoe horn. We placed this instru- ment in the silverware drawer, but it was always disappearing. We suspected from time to time that our wife didn’t appreciate this boon to the kitchen, but when we complained she would produce it and swear it was right under our nose all the time. Well, the steak sizzled for. half a minute, so we opened the drawer, following the directions on the package, but no pancake turner. We hurriedly removed the knife, fork and spoon divider and peeked closer, still no pancake turner. Then out came the bread knife, roast knife, bottle opener, cork screw, but no pancake turner. The steak caught on fire and we threw it and frying pan out the back door. When. our wife comes home if she finds that pancake turner un- der our nose, we are going to get: her a job as a magician. No, men, don’t allow minute steaks to come into your house while your wife is away—unless a pancake turner comes with each package. Evangelical Services Rev.

It did not take Dallas people long to recognize this when she arrived in 1947, to realize that she was vitally interested in the public school system, and to elect her to presidency of the Parent Teachers’ Association for a term of two years. At the present writ- ing she leads the Back Mountain Area Council of PTA. i When Mrs. Mary Morgan retired from teaching in Dallas Borough elementary school to accept a State position, Mrs. McQuilkin was the logical choice to take charge of the sixth grade. She had had experience in fifth and sixth grade work when teaching in Lincoln, Nebraska, near the old homestead of William Jennings Bryan. Franklin Street residents are familiar with the sight of Mrs. McQuilkin, charging up the long hill on her way’ to school at eight- thirty, usually trailed by . two or three panting children. She has been taking it, rain or shine, cold, snow, or fiery vapor, ever since the family car let go and settled down in the garage for a long rest. Nothing buffaloes her. She has time for not only her own Girl Scouts, but for Boy Scouts as well, in addition to her teach- ing and her domestic duties. In case you are wondering how some of the Boy Scouts earned their ceramics badge, it was Mrs. McQuilkin who gave instruction, and Mrs. McQuilkin who cooked the products in the little electric kiln in the basement.

Granny near blows her top! “Phew, why do you ask such fool questions ?”’ she asks innocently, setting down her glass of iced tea. “Well, we think maybe you'll need something to steady your nerves!” says Myra, catching on to what I am about to announce. Then I blurt it out, “Granny, we're going to have another dog.” She is flabbergasted and near chokes on an ice cube. “Where in the world are you already have three!” going to keep another dog, you “This one will have to sleep in your room,” Myra broke in calmly, “there is no other place left.” Granny straightened and fluffed her feathers like a setting hen about to be thrust under a potato crate. through her son-in-law she shot Then looking straight a devestating arrow. “My brother used to say, ‘a poor man always has one dog, and a d-- poor one has a dozen.’ Are you both crazy? How are you going to feed four dogs,” she is still addressing her remarks to me, “when your wife that I educated to be a self-respecting school teacher, still has to help you make a living with that newspaper?” Granny has her way of getting vengeance. “Well, it’s this way,” says Myra coming to my aid. (She that is allergic to dogs, newsprint, and printers’ ink.) “Bucky is fifteen years old and can’t stand the heat; so we thought we'd have another dog just in case something happened.” “Another dog is alright,” snapped Granny, “but three other dogs— * Bucky hasn’t got nine lives!” The truth of the matter is that I am now the main support of four dogs which is as nothing compared to the wrath incurred from my mother who ‘“‘won’t have those dogs tramping over her flower beds” and my mother-in-law who refuses to sleep with one of them. Fate is a strange thing and he who hasn't tempted it, should never treat it lightly. It was fate that got me involved with four dogs and now Lady Luck has turned her back on me; and all my friends who might have taken one of them have suddenly become allergic. Fate entered the picture when legs, suddenly developed monkey Buck who has been on his last glands as soon as Blaze set her foot on the place. Off feed for a matter of six weeks, he now capers kittenishly and eats more Blue Streak than any of the others. It was Fate that brought Rogue, a gentle springer spaniel to our doorstep, and good feed and a place to sleep that has kept him there. It was Fate that whispered in Murray Scureman’s ear. “Howard and Myra Risley love Sandy; and it was Fate that helped Murray sell his place so that he could move to Kingston and test our af- fection for the coal black Scotty. It was Fate that led me to pet Blaze a beautiful registered Irish setter when Fred Brokenshire drove up to the Post with her. It was Fate that coaxed Fred to say, “I'm going to get rid of her one of these days.” And it was Fate that should have socked me over the head when I replied, “Gee, if you ever do, let me know.” Bucky lived, Rogue stayed, Murray sold his place and Fred was as good as his word; and now I sleep in another bedroom with Blaze at the foot of the bed, Sandy in the middle, Rogue in the cellar and Buck waiting outside the door to tear all of them ‘to pieces.
