Concerns of a Young Family
By Audrey Morgan
Extension Falmjly Life
Specialist
Edgar G. Guest’s poem says:
“It takes a heap o’living in a
house to make it home.” This
certainly is true. No greater
contribution can be made to
America than helping to build
good homes that produce fine
people. These are concerns of
all responsible young families.
Our national strength is de
termined by the kinds of people
our homes produce. Poets,
preachers, teachers and people
in every walk of life have pro
claimed the home the founda
tion of democracy and the key
to responsible citizenship.
Good homes do not just hap
pen. They are the fruits of un
selfish planning, working and
even sacrificing on the part of
its members. Each person will
have his individual goals but
there will also be family goals
to work toward.
The home and family pro
vide each child with his first
look at life’s experiences. These
experiences should be pleasant
ones. Leaders in all fields of
education believe that the so-

cial development of children
at home is as important as their
need for intellectual and phy
sical growth. Actually many
studies show that intellectual
and physical growth depend
on social development.
Families certainly need
healthful homes but the kind
of house is not nearly as im
portant as the kind of people
who live there. Abraham Lin
coln is an example of a per
son who grew up in a very
poor house but a fine home.
He experienced the essentials
of love and affection and hap
py relationships which helped
him to develop strong moral
character.
Young couples today want
good homes. Some may not
realize that each one must ac
ce p t certain responsibilities
and be willing to sacrifice self
when necessary for the sake
of a happy home. In addition
to affection, consideration and
companionship, sharing needs
to be demonstrated. Children
need to be a definite part of
every home —to share in the
responsibilities, work, love,

Meal Planning
Plan meals carefully. The plans
can help vou save time, work, and
money.
Your meal plans should start in
deciding what foods and the
joys and whatever else comes
into the home.
It certainly is true that “It
takes a heap o’living in a house
to make it home.” What else
can give to each individual the
things they need so badly? A
good home can fortify each
person not only with the en
joyment of a family but the
security and strength needed
to be a strong moral citizen.
Let us look at today’s statis
tics of crime, broken homes,
wasted lives and decide what
you and I can do to help
Anterica have the kind of homes
every individual deserves.

amounts needed to serve a nutri
tionally adequate and pleasant diet
to the family.
A good breakfast is the first
order of the day. Choose foods
which will perk up the appetite
and appeal to the sight, smell, and
taste. It’s very easy to get “in a
rut” and serve the same foods
every morning. The obvious re
sult of this will be monotony with
breakfast. Meal planning can add
variety and appeal to this impor
tant first meal of the day.
Lunchtime is next. It's probably
the most difficult meal for t h e
homemaker to plan. The reason
for this, of course, is because
family members are away from
home, requiring a packed lunch
for some and a meal at home for
others.
Dinner or supper, whichever you
prefer to call it, is family time.
In planning the menu for this
important family meal, try to
round out the nutrients needed for
the day. The main dish is a good
place to start planning this meal.
But, there is no reason why a
special salad or dessert couldn’t
be the focal point of the meal.
Wherever you begin planning,
select a combination of foods that
go together well.
In meal planning, it's always
good to plan a meal with the
amount of time available to you
for preparation and your skill to
cook it.
Your budgeted money for food
will greatly influence meal plans.
You must decide how much you
can afford to spend for prepared
or partially prepared foods. If you
have many demands on your time,
you may find that the use of pre
pared foods is a good reason for
paying a higher price for some
food.
Remember that food should look
good to eat. The appearance of
food — its color, shape, size, and
texture — should tempt one to eat.
Try meal planning to make food
look more appetizing.
Instant Sweet Potato Acceptance
It looks like the new instant
sweet potato flakes developed by
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture will prove to be a popular
food item with food shoppers. It
may also greatly increase the use
of sweet potatoes.
Researchers have tested the
acceptance of this new form of
processed sweet potatoes and
found favorable reaction from
chefs, kitchen help, and restau
rant operators. In an offering on
the menu of selected restaurants
at various locations in the coun
try, 20 to 25 percent of the custo
mers ordered the new instant
food. Some 80 to 90 percent said
the dishes were very good
Instant dishes, many of them
developed by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture’s Research Scien
tists, have proven to be a valuable
food item for today’s busy home
maker. These convenience foods
are helping homemakers reduce
meal preparation time. This is
very important to the homemaker
who holds a public job and the
job of preparing meals for t h e
family has to be done hurriedly.
The sweet potato flakes should
soon appear on the grocery shelf.
Low Maintenance Gardens
The amount of work that will be
required to care for the flower
garden should be an important
consideration in planning it.
In a discussion of landscape de
sign, T. G. Williams, landscape
specialist for the University of
Georgia's Cooperative Extension
Service, points out that a garden
that takes continual and expensive
maintenance can be a real bur
den to a homeowner. It should be
a joy.
It’s impossible, of course, to
have an attractive and functional
garden area without some work.
However, there are many things
that can be done to cut down those
bothersome jobs that ta k e so
much pleasure out of gardening.
Williams suggests that garden
ers have a development plan. The
plan can help determine the
type of material needed and the
exact locations. This helps achieve
proper spacing, balance, scale,
form, color harmony, and unity.
Without planning, it’s most diffi
cult to combine trees, shrubs, and
construction materials in pleas
ing combinations.
A small lawn area is a good way
to eliminate hours of maintenance.
It's better to have a good small
lawn than acres of weeds. In
shady locations, the use of pine
straw or Ivy may be used to
create ground patterns. It's us-

A definite trend in garden de
sign is the use of more paved
surfaces such as terraces and
patios. This method established
a more permanent design with
lower maintenance. Clipped hedg
es may also be replaced in many
situations with attractive fences
or walls for privacy.
The size of flower beds, mulch
ing, and the selection of plant
materials are also important con
siderations in planning a low
maintenance garden, Williams ex
plains.
Simple design is the key to low
maintenance flower gardens. Use
less bends and curves, scattered
plantings and over-crowding con
tributes to disorganization and
the lack of a dominant theme. It
also creates maintenance prob
lems.
This Week’s Tip
A colored appliance in the kit
chen may be just the color item
needed to perk up the kitchen.
For example, a turquoise refri
gerator can serve as an accent
in a kitchen which has wood ca
binets and other appliances in
white. By tying it into the color
scheme with other touches of tur
quoise, it looks as if it belongs.
The colored appliance may be a
new one if you are ready to trade
or it may be a new paint job on
the one you already have.

Corners
If you’re trying to generate
extra space in your rooms,
don’t overlook the corners.
According to the Southern
Pine Association, an amazing
amount of valuable storage
space can be achieved by cor
ner conversions.
With little more than fram
ing lumber, wood paneling and
conventional tools, storage cab
inets can be erected across the
corners, of appropriate rooms.
Not only your wardrobe and
utensils, but also TV and Hi-
