Grandma Sez • •• Sittin' here in my rocker, by th' window, a wishin' the sun'd shine, it comes t' me mind how much folks take fer granted, these days. Mebbe it takes somethin' serious t' bring 'em round t' appreciatin' the little things, that don't seem so little 'til they're missin'. Seems t' this granny, there's so much t' be had, these days, e'en the youngsters expect too Hawaii $299 I C JOSbiXEm Spain $359 I DAYS 3 CITIES •ejrf CHAIN-O-LAKES TRAVEL SERVICE "Dependable Travel Since 1961" 34Q5 W.

They ain't taught t' be appreciative, t' be thank­ ful fa* small things, an' the things which the Great Power pervides. A few years back, a certain individual made a big issue o' the fallacy o' bein' grateful for things which a body pervided fer himself. The idee spread t' where it became unlawful t' teach religion in public schools. Little by little the seed took root, 'til there's many people these days who don't feel obligated t' be thankful fer anythin', a takin' all the credit fer what they possess, an' not takin' inter consideration the fact that ever'thin' comes from this good earth, an' God's bounty. Wi'out the gifts o' rain an' sunshine, we'd wither an' die, an' too much o' one 'r the other c'n wreak catastrophe, as we've seen happen this past year, wi' crops, all over the world, a rottin' in the rain- soaked fields. The proper amount o' beautiful sunshine'd corrected the trouble, an' the crops'd be harvested in great abundance. Could it be we're a bein' taught a lesson, 're several o' 'em, fer that matter, ap­ preciation fer the things we take for granted, a bein' thank­ ful fer the privilege o' havin' the gifts o' God an' Mother Nature, an' all the wonderful pervisions that make life on this planet somethin' special? There's thousands o' human bein's who don't take notice- that just bein' alive's special privilege. They go, day by day, The November meeting of Home and Hearth unit, held at Parkland school, was more a party than club meeting. Members were entertained and informed by "Holiday En­ tertaining", the November Cooperative Extension Service lesson presented by Mrs. Barbara Faber and Mrs. Lois Jacobs. Before a candlelit buffet table, they gave these pointers for making a party enjoyable for everyone, in­ cluding the hostess: PLAN - what kind of party you will have, the date and hour, number and kind of guests, amount of money you can spend, time and help required to prepare the meal and the dishes needed few- serving. PUT PLANS ON PAPER - menu, grocery list, last minute jobs and advance preparation. GROCERY SHOP EARLY - preferably not the day of the party. KNOW YOUR GUESTS (likes and dislikes) and yourself (strong points and limitations of you and your equipment). ELIMINATE as much LAST MINUTE PREPARATION as a gittin' up in the morning', an' a goin' t' be at night, eatin' their meals, an' ne'er a givin' a thought t' anythin' but how much money they made that day, an' plans t' how much they 're a goin' t' make the next, what kind o' new car they're a goin t' buy, an' so on, an' so on. Wi'out the sunshine, 4r the rain, there wouldn't be anythin', so we better be aware enough , t' show some gratitude fer the thirds we take fer granted, the wonderful gifts o' the Power o' the Universe. Mebbe we'd take better care o' our bodies, an' the environment we create fer 'em t' survive in, if we developed a reverence fer the wonders o' the Great Creator. Grandma Radtke possible - use foods that can be prepared ahead. Have frozen foods and packaged mixes cm hand, either planned in the menu or as replacements for "disasters". DON'T be afraid to use convenience foods, especially if you use them creatively. ENJOY YOURSELF! Members were invited to sample the wreath centerpiece, a delicacy of cornflakes and marshmallows, and other party recipes, dried beef rolls, quick Swedish meat balls, chicken nut puffs, garlic dip for relishes, cake mix chewies and rocky road squares prepared by Mrs. Faber, Mrs." Jacobs, Mrs. Pat Wilier and Mrs. Barbara McPherson.
