Vera and Tom Cox
Vera Cox, Queen of Kitchen,
cooks in French, Greek, Italian...
Vera (Mrs. Thomas) Cox
has been selected as Queen
of the Kitchen this week by
the Susquehanna Bulletin.
She was nominated by Mrs.
John (Mary) Landis, form-
erly of Mount Joy, now of
New Cumberland, Pa.
- When it came to picking
Mrs. Cox’s best dish, Mrs.
Landis said that was hard to
do, with so many tasty Cox
creations to select from. She
finally settled on ‘‘New Veal
Scallopini.”’ Mrs. Cox's
recipe for ‘‘Veal Scallopini’’
and also for ‘Veal Scallops
Marsala’ are both given
below.
Mrs. Cox says the basic
secret to preparing her veal
recipes is to have really
good veal. She insures
having good veal by con-
tracting with a local farmer
to raise a milk-fed calf for
her and then having it
butchered by John Henry
Brubaker. The meat is
stored in the Cox's frozen
food chest in their base-
ment.
One year Mrs. Cox's
supervision of the produc-
tion of her veal was
especially close. The son of
the farmer who was raising
her milk-fed calf was in Mrs.
Cox's fourth grade class at
Grandview. Mrs. Cox re-
ceived daily reports on the
growth of her veal.
Actually, Mrs. Cox pre-
pares menu items from
many different national kit-
chens — Japanese, French,
Greek, etc., as well as
Italian.
When cooking Greek
foods she buys her produce
at a Greek store on Lemon
street in Lancaster.
Every year she serves a
Japanese meal to her fourth
grade pupils in her home,
where they can sit on the
floor, Japanese style.
But despite her versatili-
ty, she considers French
cooking basic to all cooking.
Guests, understandably,
welcome an invitation to
dine at the Coxes. To make
the meals even more delec-
table, Mrs. Cox’s husband,
Thomas, is an excellent
baker. Among his special-
ties are Swedish link bread,
Russian black bread, and
beer herb bread.
The Coxes are planning a
large fireplace which will
include a beehive oven, in
which Mr. Cox can bake
his various kinds of bread as
they were originally baked.

Letters to the Editor
Last week’s letter
Dear editor:
I think your new feature,
‘“Queen of the Kitchen,” is
a sexist activity, designed to
keep women in the kitchen,
as if that were the only kind
of work they could do.
Adolph Hitler used to say
that women should stick to
the three K's: Kuche,
Kirche, und Kinder (cook-
ing, church, and children).
Your kind of thinking
about women is reactionary,
chauvinistic.
Further proof that you
believe the place for women
is at home, is your column,
+‘Adam and Eve,” as if
marriage were the only
career for women.
You have some very
antiquated notions about
women.
I think you are helping to
keep women in the slavery
of their homes, tied to their
husbands and their cook-
stoves.
Signed
A liberated woman
This week’s responses
Dear Editor:
Reactionary? Chauvinis-
tic? Hitler-like in your
attitude? Strong comments
from a weak position!
Keep the ‘Queen of the
Kitchen’ and ‘‘Adam and
Eve’’, features in your
newspaper! They are so
refreshing after all the stole,
old, cliches of the ‘‘liberated
women’’ I've run into lately.
Liberation is not a new
idea. Only the word
‘“liberation’’ is new. (Eve
found liberation in the
Garden of Eden - and poor
Eve didn’t even have a bra
to burn!
Dear Editor:
After reading your letter
from the ‘liberated
woman,’ | felt compelled to
write and defend your new
features, ‘‘Queen of the
Kitchen’’ and ‘‘Adam and
Eve”. Frankly, my husband
and I both really enjoy
reading about other couples
here in the area who are as
happily married as we are.
They are always interesting,
Dear Editor:
It is about time someone
told--A LIBERATED
WOMAN--most women are
IN the kitchen by choice.
““Queen of the Kitchen’’ is a
beautiful thought and a
wonderful way to recognize
Dear Editor:
I would approve of keep-
ing the present name
Susquehanna Bulletin.
It has historical memories
for all the old timers -
furnaces, sawmills, ore
holes, and paddle-wheelers.
My customers would listen
attentively and spellbound
to some of the tales old
Sammy Hargrove would tell
of traveling up and down the
river.
My first summer cooking
at camp, we crossed from
the York County shore to the
island on a paddle-wheel -
bag and baggage and
personnel.
Long may it flow!
Mrs. Florence R. Mertz
Mount Joy
Where is it written that
because a woman enjoys
being a housewife and
mother that she is out of this
world?
I am a housewife and
mother. I'm 48 years old
and have been ‘‘liberated”’
for all of these 48 years. A
woman is the most liberated
creature on earth. I have no
respect for anyone, male or
female, who will not accept
the responsibility for his
own way of life!
Had I wanted a ““career’’ |
could well have had it. My
““career’’ spans quite an
informative, and wholesome
articles to read.
As for ‘“‘Queen of the
. Kitchen” articles, I am glad
you can honor some of the
women who have helped to
hold homes together in
years gone by through their
love and care for their
families, which includes
cooking delicious meals.
I’m proud to be a wife,
homemaker and mother,
many gifted mothers and
home makers, who are truly
the back-bone of
AMERICA.
If 1 understand the
meaning of LIBERATION it
means to be free to choose,
and this is what most
Dear Editor:
We want you to know how
much we appreciate the
Susquehanna Bulletin. The
articles are timely and
interesting, as well as
being written well. The
photos are terrific! The
historical articles are es-
pecially enjoyed, even tho’
we’re not natives.
Sincerely,
Miriam Breinich
Dear Editor:
I Vote for Susquehanna
Bulletin. It always brings to
mind the times we spent at a
cottage on the York County
side up the river from
Wildcat.
Keep up the good work.
Sincerely,

area.
When I feel like writing, I
do. (Incidentally, I do enjoy
writing.) But, my greatest
joy is creating a meal,
knitting a stole, reading
books to my S year old son.
Some poor soul, who con-
siders me a freak, is the one
who deserves all our pity.
What a shame that these
“liberated women’’ must
try so hard to convince me of
their ‘‘freedom’’!
Now I hope, they can
convince themselves!

and would be honored if
some day my children voted
me ‘‘Queen of the Kit-
chen.”’ I also work part-time
outside of our home, but my
first love is caring for my

terrific guy and raising two
wonderful sons is being a
‘slave’,....Well, 1 wouldn’t
trade this kind of slavery for
the world!

women do, they WANT to
be wives, mothers, and
home-makers. Just as I
have been for the past 35
years.
Happy with my choice!
Marty’s World
Whatever happened to
Marty’s World? After
getting a late look at the
Susquehanna Bulletin, I
missed the column, again.
I'm sure many people
enjoyed the nostalgic look at
the area and the times in
which we lived.
Naturally, I am prejudiced
because | remember many
of the good times we had.
Even though yor can’t
live in the past, that’s what
life is all about. For
example, the Bicentennial
Celebrations are just a look
at the past!
I look forward to seeing
Marty’s World revived.
