j| This, That And The Other Bt Mas. Theo. B. Davis When our youngest son. now with the fighter pilots in Italy, wrote us that he uses in one day more gasoline than it takes to run his father's car a whole year we realized more fully why it has to be rationed here. First and last we do a good bit of driving for this shop, though far less than formerly. And it makes me feel that even walking to work helps the situation when I remember that my son and other women's sons must have the gas, if they keep flying. And if we don't keep flying, the Germans and Japanese surely will —and in our direction eventually. Walking down town Tuesday with Judy Robertson, who was pushing her 18-months-cld cousin in a stroller. I remarked that I knew' Judy’s mother was glad school has closed, for otherwise she could do little all day but play with the small visitor. Well,” Judy said, ‘ That’s all that all of us do, now that Jean and I are at home.” She added that she knew' the baby will be badly spoiled when he is taken home, but that he is so much fun to have around they can’t help the spoiling. And that baby is having a wonderful time. When the ten-year-old grand son was in bed for so many w'eeks my husband sent a baby rabbit to help amuse him. It amused the whole family. My daughter took it out to graze, haltered up in an old nylon stocking. Her husband let it nibble the flower arrange ments in the living-room. It led a royal life, even bossing the family dog and terrifying a tiny Man chester terrier that chased it. kickling the terrier high into the air. But Eric is now able to be up most of the day, and last Sun day he brought Blaze, the bunny, when they came* out to see us. Eric watched and saw how Blaze mix ed and mingled with his eight brothers and sisters, and ponder ed long whether he ought to be taken back to city life. Finally he put Blaze in the car ,but be - fore they drove off. jumped ou* and carried him to the hutch to stay with his kmri. Please, some body buy that rabbit; none ol us could eat him. Now that the canning season has begun, canners might keep in mind that directions for different jar tops vary. The metal disks with that sealing stuff already on must NOT be touched after pro cessing the contents of the jar. If they are not sealed, use anoth er disk and boil the jar again. Read directions for screw or glass tops—and follow' them. Man ufacturers have done lots of ex perimenting and are anxious for us to have success; they know best how their product should be used. I do hope none of you try the old three-day boiling for peas, corn and such. If you don't have a pressure cooker for canning, d" all the boiling one day anyway, and you'll save time in the end. And "be sure to pack corn, peas or butterbeans loosely in the jars. Talk about the pride a young girl feels in wearing the first corsage from her boy friend; that’s little to the pride of a mid dle-;) ed n other who has on her shoulder an orchid or carnations sent by a soldier son for Mother’s Day—or another day. You can't miss seeing her pleasure in this evidence of love and appreciation. Gray hair or w'hite forms as.good a contrast for corsages as do gol den curls or dark, rolled tresses We older women are not out of the picture. Club Postponed The meeting of the Woman’s Club has been postponed from Tuesday afternoon to Thursday evening of this week at 8:00 o’clock. This was necessary be cause some of those who are to appear on the program found it impossible to arrive in time for the earlier date.
