Marge Wunderlich, right, president of the Homemakers unit, pins corsage on Mrs. Nagel as Dorothy Janssen, hostess, looks on. The meeting was held at the Janssen home on West Shore drive. Wonder Lake, March 4. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD 0€I Grandma Reflectin', an' exercisin' me rockin' chair, th' scene o' this Progress, we've seen take place, o'er th' years, passes through this ol' lady's mind, wi' a feelin' o' sad regret. A body wonders if the world '11 have another chance, another op­ portunity t' truly appreciate what we have here."? Folks seem t' be a gettin' involved, more 'n in a long time. But there's a feeling', among a lot o' us, who've lived a few years, an' learned th' importance o' a certain amount o' dignified reserve, b'tween men an' women, an' ever'one, f'r that matter, that there's a great lack o' it in t 'day's society. It ain't a healthy condition, when pride in oneself, takes a holiday. I'm not a goin' on, about th' egoistic kind o' self int'rest, but th' good, ol'-fashioned kind o' pride in th' kind o' person folks believe ye t' be. There has t' be some effort extended, t ' create an image o' oneself, in th' eyes o' folks who know ye. But, ye'd be pretty surprised, if ye knew how ye're seen in those eyes, o' family, friends, an' neighbors. No two see ye exactly th' same, an' th' females on th' list see ye dif- fernt than th' males, no matter what sex ye are. Younguns 're affected wi' th' kind o' surroundin's they're reared in, sometimes adversely an' they may take on th' similarity o' th' adults, in charge o' their bringin' up. No one knows what th' course '11 take, so it's up t' th' adults t ' create a favorable en­ vironment, a commendable image, fer th' young t' pattern after. A number o' years ago, this granny had occasion t' visit a great many folks, in their homes. Ne'er il I ferget me surprise, at th' lack o' pride, visible in th' unkempt ap­ pearance o' many o' th' homes, an' most o' all, th' women in charge o' 'em. Neglect had af­ fected th' little tykes, too young t' attend school; wi' their mother sittin' around, readin' cheap magazines, an' th' ash­ trays heaped wi' cigarette butts. Me mind goes back t' those younguns, sometimes, an' I wonder how they turned out. Now, this was in good, suburban neighborhoods, where th' dwellin's wuz quite nice, an' a body'd ne'er expect t ' find what th' inside disclosed. Can't help thinkin', perhaps th' carelessness o' adults, when th' younguns went through those impressionable years, may ha' caused a lot o ' th' attitudes toward pride in appearance, we've been subjected to, in th' past few years. Young children 're th' best copy-cats, an' in years past, they'd love t' dress up in long dresses, an' big hats, like their mothers. So, seems t' me ( they've done a good job o' imitatin' the things they've had t' live wi', in those tender years, o' th' modern times. Now, this may sound as though this ol' lady 's talkin' from limited knowledge, but it happend t' be my lot, t ' have contact wi' many people, many o' whom had had th' same experience, an' wuz appalled, same as 1.1 wuz told, it wuz th' same, in all th' large cities, an' out-lyin' suburbia. These younguns 're grown, now, mostly in early twenties, but many ha' gone through th' CHILD PSYCHOLOGY Revolutionary new approaches to child-rearing keep coming out. One of them sticks up for the parents. If it 's breakfast Mom might say: "Son, finish your eggs." "Motivate me." is a standard reply.

Livin' in small communities, little farm towns, an' areas where most folks keep th' traditional standards, livin' an' carin' about each other, these folk ha' kept th' pride an' self- esteem, which sets man apart, an' above th' animal. I hear folks a declarln' that we're only animals, while a listenin' t ' th' radio an' a watchin' th' TV. Folks, who" pertend t' be better informed 'n th' average iperson.n^n carry enough weight t ' affect th' thinkin' o' a large majority, especially th' young, an' inexperienced. Man is not an animal, though he may be categorized as sieh, fer th' reason that he is flesh an' blood. Man has a mind, an' a soul, an' th' ability t' suffer from wrong-doin', t ' have regrets strong enough t' cause 'im t' change his ways. Man has th' ability t ' appreciate, life, love, an' th' pursuit o' hap­ piness. Man is not an animal, no matter what this modern, progressive society, o' t 'day may attempt t' git a body t' b'lieve. Th' way a body lives, an' brings up his young, sub­ stantiates whether 'r not he's an animal. This granny's seen men, an' women too, who've sunk t' th' level o' what ye may compare t' animals, but there's alius a chance fer redemption, an' it ain't so wi' animals. So, don't let 'em fool ye'. Ye're far above th' animal kingdom. Ye're o' God's Kingdom, an' designed after His Kind. Grandma Radtke Are you risking death when you open home canned foods? Five persons died this past year due to improperly home processed foods. One person died from commercially canned stew and one from an unknown food source. These deaths were caused from botulism. v Botulinum bacteria can grow in an airless environment -- such as a jar of home canned vegetables - if the proper high temperature was not used during the canning process. \ There have been twenty recorded outbreaks of botulism involving thirty persons during 1974 according to figures released by the Center for Disease Control. This was the highest number reported since 1935. The summer of 1974 caught consumers in an era of tusing food prices. They turned to canning and freezing foods at home. Persons who had not canned before, persons who went back to canning and did not learn or update their canning procedures were .in -danger... ' Spoilage microorganisms include molds, yeasts and bacteria. Yeasfs grow by the formation of small cells on the side of a yeast cell. This causes fermentation which forms carbon dioxide gas ancT alcohol from sugar. It may grow as a dry film on pickle brine and sauerkraut juice. Mold grows in filaments and is visible as "mold growth." It forms spores or "reeds" which float through air and may alight on any of your food or canning equipment. Later it will produce the mold on your canned foods. Bacteria which are ever present in our environment grow to maturity and multiply in moisture, warmth and with a food present. Canned foods improperly processed make an excellent medium. One bac­ teria can multiply to 140.720.000,000,000 in twenty- four hours. Thermophiles grow at temperatures of 100 degrees to 180 degrees F. They are the cause of flat sour spoilage. They form spores which have a high heat resistance. Correct processing of fruits and vegetables and other foods will prevent spoilage and loss of food. Now is the time to start thinking of canning supplies and procedures.
