WHAT WE NEED
A little move tenderness
A little less creed
A little more giving
A little less greed
A little more “we”
A little less “I”
A little more laugh
A little less cry
A little more flowers
To lighten life’s load
And fewer on graves
At the end of the road.

conducted from first through elev
enth grades, in all thirteen class

prompted a continuance of ten days,

Beauchamp and Miss Walker report
ed eighty-three essays from high

twenfly was reported by Miss Elise

Convenient Kitchen
When a home is being built, stor
age places may be provided during
construction. In an old house, in
troducing a working surface or a
built-in cabinet at the right point
may be a great help.
If important genera! changes are
made in a large house, the built-in
pass cabinet or closet running
through to the dining room is often
added. This enables the housewife
to pass soiled dishes through from
the dining room to the kitchen
where they are washed and stored
in the two-way closet so they may
be taken out from the dining room
side.
Sliding and drop shelves save space
and provide working surface w’hen
it is needed. Electric utensils, serv
ing trays, large platters, vases, and
other bulky pieces of equipment are
often difficult to store unless there
are spaces specially designed fo"
them. A home carpenter can build
the cabinet in dimensions to acco
modate these odd-sized pieces. An
other kitchen convenience often ad
ded is a rack for saucepan lids or.
t!he wall near the stove. A knife
rack saves blade edges. If the sink
does not have drain boards, wooden
ones can be made.
When a sink is located in the cen
ter of a wall space working surfaces
on each side are convenient, espec
ially so if there are storage spaces
below. In any built-in cabinet toe
room should be provided. I have a
number of phamph'ets containing
suggestions for cabinets, shelves and
tables, and will be glad to give one
to any housewife and to help make
make the kitchen more convenient
and in any other way possible.
If the stove burns wood, an excel
lent built-in aid is a wood box that
can be filled from the outside and
emptied from the kitchen side. If
ironing is done in the kitchen a
built-in. ironing board with a hinged
support occupies very little space
and is pushed up out of the way ex
cept in use. Good light, location
away from the traversed parts of
the kitchen, and adjustment to the
best working height for the person
who uses it most, are points consid
ered in putting in such a board.
A closet for cleaning equipment
and materials is often located in the
kitchen. It is sometimes possible
to store extra table leaves there by
constructing a rack for them.
Red Flannel Hash
Because winters are long and grow
ing seasons short, Vermont house
wives favor recipes that make use
of root crops stored in the cellar.
“Red Flannel Hash” is a popular and
typical Vermont dish that can be made
ir. summer as well as in winter, us
ing new-crop potatoes and beets in
stead of the stored products.
Chop equal parts of cooked beets
and potatoes. About 2 cups of each
is a good porportion. Put 2 table
spoons of bacon fat or butter in a
frying pan and add the vegetable o .
Season well with salt and pepper,
moisten with hot water and cook
slowly, covered. Then brown quick
ly. Just before serving add a table
spoonful of cream and a piece of
butter. If desired, a cupful of chop
ped cooked meat may be added to
the potatoes and beets.
