SCOTT COUNTY TIMES FOREST, MISSISSIPPI WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1961 Little People Like To Help NEWS FROM NEWS FROM- NEWS FROM This six year old's mother is a busy and very wise young woman. She understands the joy, the sense of importance and the feeling of being loved that come to a small girl when permitted to do simple, useful chores. She also knows that a teen age daughter may suddenly acquire an uncanny ability to sense, and to tiptoe out of sight and hearing, when the words kitchen, canning and cooking are about to be spoken. But at twenty, she'll be right back in the kitchen, feeling at ease because she will recall much of what she learned and observed when helping was fun. Just what can a six year old do other than get in the way? Many things! Shell peas, snap beans, roll cookies, squeeze grapes to separate skins from pulp, and run fruit for sauce or butter through a colander or food mill.

When she is three or four years older, she will take pride in doing the whole butter making job on her own. This simple, but flavor-some recipe will be one she'll cherish in those future years. Peach Butter A wholesome, delicious, inexpensive and easy-to-make spread for toast and other hot breads. 8 cups peach pulp teaspoon salt 6 cups light brown sugar 1 teaspodn pure vanilla Wash, scald, drain, pit and peel ripe peaches. Put peaches into kettle with 2 or 3 cracked pits; if needed to start cooking, add about Vt cup water.

Cook peaches until soft; put them through colander or food mill. Measure peach pulp, add sugar and salt and boil until thick. Add vanilla. Pour boiling hot butter to within inch of top of pint or half pint fruit jars. P-t V-' -r; screw band tight.
