FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN
Planning Is Essential In Home Management
Your housekeeping jobs may be taking more
of your time than is necessary, cautions Miss Mamie
Whisnant, North Carolina State College home
specialist. “One reason many homemakers dislike
their homemaking jobs is that they’re still doing
them the old, hard way,” she says.
“For example, there is meal preparation. In
preparing just one meal think of all the many dif
ferent jobs you have to do. Take into account how
many meals you prepare each year and see how
much it would mean to be able to save a few steps,
stoops and minutes on each job. Add it all up and
you have a lot of time and energy saved in the
course of a year,”
* * *
OFFERING SUGGESTIONS on efficiency, this
home specialist points out that good home managers
have a plan, and that they know more than the
best way to do each of the jobs they perform every
day. They know how to fit them all together well;
plan what jobs must be done, who will do them,
when and where, and how to do them the quickest,
easiest way—all this before starting work. They lay
their day’s or week’s work out before them and
then prepare a plan of action.
Conserve time and energy by taking in stride
your forgetfulness on what you were going to do
next week. Keep a pad and pencil in several locations
about the house, for jotting down ideas, plans and
things to do. That’s good time management, too.
SALAD DAYS AHEAD—With spring here and
summer near, home gardening for many comes into
its own. To add color and interest to your menus, be
sure you have a good supply of tender onions,
radishes, lettuce, and other greens for vegetable
salads.
Try this variety garden salad: One head lettuce;
2 cups whole cooked beets; 1/2 cup vinegar; ^
tablespoon brown sugar; 1 cup sliced celery; ^
onion; 1/2 cup sliced ripe olives; 1 cup cottage
cheese.
To the liquid drained from the beets (fresh
cooked or canned) add vinegar and sugar; simmer
10 minutes. Add beets and let stand several hours
or overnight. Break greens in pieces, place in ^
large salad bowl with onion rings. Add celery, olives»
other vegetables if you want them; French dressing’
and salt to taste. Toss lightly. Place cottage cheese
in center and arrange pickled beets on top of
