4-Algbna (la.) Upper Molnoi Thurtday, June 9, 1955 Refrigerator advertisements are fascinating. The modern food coolers do lots more than make ice cubes. They've got special places for each food, they defrost automatically, they light up when opened and I wouldn't be surprised if there were a model or two that would play, "How Dry I "One Meat or "Yes, We Have No when the door is opened. But It Isn't the refrigerator itself that intrigues me in full color ads, it's the food the box contains. There's always a half a ham, standing rib roast with dainty paper panties on the rib June Dairy Month Will Have a Free Cheese Crackers for Date! ends, a ring mold salad, eight to ten dessert filled sherbert glasses garnished with whipped cream and topped with cherries, and a nicely browned, completely innocent of gouges cut by snackers.

If there is a family who owns this goiirnmet stocked refrigerator, the ads always show just a Mamma, a Pappa and a Brother and Sister. But from the amount of food stashed away, it seems to me they should have a whole army of youngsters plus six or seven steady boarders. Or maybu they are eternally, expecting company who never seem to arrive. At our house we have a very nice refrigerator. It's practically new and as far as being equipped with gadgets it doesn't have to take a back seat fo any of the magazine- refrigerators.

Here the resemblance ends. Our ice box is full of the edibles never look like the ones in the refrigerator of those anonymous families in the illustrations.

We don't, in addition to the ham have any rib roasts standing around waiting for the oven.

The thought of having all those desserts pre- pai'ect and waiting, untoucned, is simply laughable. At our house I have all I can do to get the pudding frorn the kitchen counter to the dining table Without some little taster taking a lick at the whipped cream. And the only Home we have a whole, complete, roast turkey is on Thanksgiving Day and that lasts only until I can lift it out of the oven. Don't the families in the refrigerator ads ever have any leftovers? I've never yet seen one tired wienie on a saucer, a dab ol spinach, a peach half, a partly consumed glass of mild or a jar ol pickled pigs feet left from last January like I've got in our refrigerator. Why we've even, got a couple of left over casserole dishes that were made up tron.

left overs! The summer flowers are at their loveliest right now and it's sucli a joy to have bouquets in the house. I ran across an the other day that disproved eral of my notions about keeping cut flowers fresh. It was in Household magazine by D. C. Kiplinger of Ohio State University.

1 can't argue with any ot you Garden Cubbers on whether or not these tips are true, but here are some of the things the man said. Mr Kiplinger says thai for years gardeners have been told to place freshly cut flowers in cold water to revive them. Now they, know warm water, 70-80 degrees, is better. You don't have to put stems under water to avoid that old bugaboo, the air bubble at the end of the stem when flowers are cut, either. The warm water takes care of that.

It isn't so that aspirin keeps flowers longer, says our authority. Florist do have some commercial preparations they use, but those are chiefly for greenhouse roses. Mr Kiplinger says, "Though you've been told for years to cut flowers in the morning while the dew is still on mem, they'll actually last longer if cut late in the afternoon." He doesn't explain why this is true. I have had a bad day. I washed all morning, hung the clothes and when they were nearly dry, a rain came up.

I took them down. The sun came out so I hung them all back out again. While we were downtown the big black clouds returned we couldn't get home fast enough to rescue the wash. It's raining again tonight, the laundry is still out on the line and we are practically down to our last towel. The clothes will be thororughly rained, alright but as far as I'm concerned the whole blamed day was a washout.

Rainy days wouldn't be so bad around a house full of kids if-you could just keep them from fighting. Quarreling kids are what make mothers turn prematurely gray. However, the kids themselves thrive on skirmishes and scraps. They can never figure out why Mamma gets so upset merely because they are apparently beating each other's brains out. Saturday, June 4, was a big day for V.

W. Burns family. It was their thirtieth wedding anniversary and the 6th anniversary for their son-in-law and daughter, Mr and Mrs Ed Skilling. Vern and Orla were married on the 24th anniversary of his parents, the P. J.

G. Venteicher and although I don't have her recipe, I do have two others that were sent to me. We'll just have to go a picnic real soon for in addition to the hot potato salad recipe, we also have a new thermos jug at our house. I made- a swapping deal with Velma Gillespie for it. Traded a set of picnic dishes and I think I got the better part of the deal.

Mrs Andy Elbert, "one of those Elberts from Whittemore" sent me the first recipe. 4 slices of bacon diced and tried to a liaht brown. Then add 2 scant tablespoons flour, 'j cup sugar mixed with cup vinegar and 1 cup water. Stir into the bacon and fat and let boil until thick.
