Hints io the Wise Menu Maker
Meai planning is probably the
homemakers’ biggest and most
important job. Since the health
of the family depends to a great
extent on its nutrition and since
food will not be eaten unless it
is appetizing and is attractively
served, the following suggestions
to the homemaker will help her
in planning her daily menus.
1. Balance your meals for the
day and week before you balance
your budget.
2. Make up your mind about
the time of the main meal. Don’t
have dinner at noon one day and
at night the next.
3. Give your meals personal
ity! (a) Use colorful foods—at
least one at every meal; (b) give
your family something to chew
with a cheese souffle, crisp veg
etable salad, with soup, crunchy
crackers; (c) add a dash of fla
vor—serve flavorful meats or
vegetables with potatoes or rice,
but id> don’t be guilty of get
ting into a flavor rut-—do not
use the same flavor twice in a
meal—as tomato soup and to
mato salad; (el don’t use the
same food twice in a day without
varying its form (except, of
course, staples like bread, butter
and milk*; (f) be original—do
not use the same food from day
to day. Vary your method of
preparing food—dig up new
recipes. For example, sweet po
tatoes can be prepared in doz
ens of ways.
4. When you have a number
of foods at a meal, decrease the
size of the servings. When you
serve a more simple meal, use a
few nutritions, easily digested
foods and serve larger portions.
5. Adopt your menus to the
weather season, and the type of
occupation or activities of the

SUCCESSFUL
PARENTHOOD
By MBS. CATHERINE C. EIHVAKHS
AID CHILD TO CREATE
You have your sewing all laid
out. You feel alive with creative
interest in the blouse you are
planning to get a good start on
before the afternoon light is'
gone! The pattern goes on very
smooth. You hum a little tune
as you cut firmly through the
cloth.
Then the front door opens and
a voice calls up the stairs, “Moth
er, Jane came home with me
and we want to sew for our dolls.
Do you have any pieces?”
There’s the same excitement
in Susan’s voice that you were
feeling a moment ago—the same
joy at the prospect of making
something. But you know what
it means to your own plans—;
with two 10-year-old seam
stresses to ask 100 questions and
borrow your tools; with their;
work to be praised a little more
than it's worth, yet set on the
right track; with your creative
urge dissipated in responding to
their enthusiasm, what becomes
of your own sense of accomplish
ment?
Well, it depends on how you
figure achievement. If you count
it only by the progress you make
on your blouse, it won’t add up
to much. But if you measure it
by the eagerness to create which
you foster in two little girls, then
it amounts to quite a lot. If you
think of it, too, in terms of your
daughter’s feeling about her
home, it comes to even more.
If she’s told that you are too
busy to be bothered, that she
makes too much confusion, home
may become to her merely the
place where she goes between
school and club meetings and
movies., Not a place where the
warm glow of making and doing
is the mainspring of growth and
happiness.
Os course, there are times
when your own work must come
first—maybe the new blouse is
to freshen up your old suit for
a dinner engagement downtown
with your husband. All right, tell
the child so. If she hasn’t come
ant foods such as fruits, milk and
eggs a different and more pleas
ing flavor.
Water: Four to eight glasses
daily.
up against too many “wait until
tomorrow” promises, she will en
ter into your plans this time.
She’ll even make you a present
of her own enthusiasm by get
ting your best hat down off the
shelf for you, and laying out
your gloves and handkerchief.
But there’s one way not to act
in this little drama of interrup
tion. If you share your time with
the child don’t do it grudgingly.
That dampens her spirits as well
as your own. Don’t let her move
in on you, then take out your
own frustration in being over
critical of her work, or in talk
ing about your “lost” afternoon.
Fathers are often better than
mothers about entering whole
heartedly into a project with
their children. Once they’ve
brought themselves to forgo a
ball game for a trip to the zoo
they usually end up by having a
wonderful time. Mothers would
too if they could just drop un
finished tasks from their minds
and let themselves enjoy their
children’s happiness.

PULPWOOD
Rings Mr. Hartman’s Register
“Anything that stirs up and increases trade is good. . .pulp
and papermaking does just that, according to C. C. Hartman
who runs a store at Jesup, Georgia.
e “Fifty extra dollars received for pine trees harvested from
a previously idle woodlot represent hundreds of dollars in
trade when they have passed around and finally been rung up
on my cash register and those of other merchants in Jesup.
“Extra dollars from extra pulpwood, which almost any
I farm can grow, are like the cup of water pu put in the pump
> to make it produce gallons."
