1. Monday: Begin at the oc- ginning of this week to grow some "window-sill greens" for your Spring salads-saturate s terry face cloth with lukewarm water in which a half teaspoon of fertil- izer has been dissolved. Spread this cloth flat. on a pie plate and on it sprinkle thickly either a gackage of press or mustard seed.

eep cloth saturated but do not use so much water that seeds will float. Cut baby greens when they are less than two inches high tabout two weeks after sowing). Grand for sandwiches and to give best. to salads of all sorts! Inter- esting pastime for kiddies tool

2. Tuesday: If you use salt. sodium chloride or calcium chlor- ide to melt the ice around your rioorway or lawn and if there are shrubs or trees there that you prize highly. remember that salt will seep into soil later on in the Spring. Remember to flush the soil around the tree roots or lift the top layer and replace with new soil it you think the roots are In any danger of being injured.

3. Wednesday: Another ban- ana recipe coming up-Banana Bars-Slit togeilicr 1 3-4 cups flour. 2 isps. baking powder and 1-2 tsp. salt. Cream 1-2 cup shortening and 1 cup sugar to- gether. Add 1 tsp. lcmon extract and 2 well-beaten eggs. Mix thor- oughly. Mash enough ripe ban- anas to fill 1 cup. Add sifted dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternately with the mashed ban- anas. Pour into a greased shal- low pan, 8 x 13 inches (about). Bake in a moderate oven 350”, 30 minutes. bars. Makes 3 dozen bars-These are great fillers for lunch boxes!

4. Thursday: Recently Robert D. Towne died at his home in Ambler, Pa. He was a former Minister, publisher and editor, and he rose suddenly to fame on the public fascination for a math- ematical riddle he composed. He originated the complicated math- ematical problem he titled "How Old Is Ann?" Here is the riddle and I shall keep you in suspense for a week-No answer until next Monday! "Mary is 24. She is twice as old as Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann is now.

How old is Ann?"-Correct an- swer next week folks! 5. Friday: In a shiny new

kitchen recently I saw a. brand new bride wearing the cutest apron made out of green and white linen dish toweling. This apron was trimmed with rick- rack braid and green bias tape. she also had place mats and small table cover to match her un- usual apron.-Think how well this material wears and washes tool

Britain's shortage of dollars in- evitabiy will mean a cut in her 1952 imports. It already has been hinted that her cheese contract with Canada may be the met to go.

Lastiyear Ontario cheese pro- ducers sold the United Kingdom about 25.000000 pounds of cheddar Canada's total cheese production for the year was 258300.000 pounds.

Undoubtedly cheese manufactur- ers would be unhappy about any loss of export markets. but house- wives might benefit through lower prices. At present Canadian cheese sells for 50 cents and up. accord- ing to age and variety.

Canada. a cheese-producing land. never has been known as a coun- try of cheese-eaters. Yet cheese is one of the most health-giving foods on the market.

Cheese Muffins

Cheese in muffins, even in sal- ads and desserts. is recommended by the Dominion Department of Agriculture in "Cheese Dishes". a booklet issued by the Departments consumer section.

The pamphlet also lists the var!- eties of cheese manufactured in Canada. Did you know Camembert. Edam, Gouda. Oka, Roqucfort nnd Limburger are all manufactured in this country?

Cheese Muffins: ill cups sifted all-purpose flour; three teaspoons baking-powder; one-half teaspoon salt; two-thirds cup grated cheese: one egg; one cup milk or tomato juice; two tablespoons melted shor- tening.

However. there is a condition known as cardioepunn in which I spasm occurring in the lower end of the tube (oesophagus) prevents food from entering the stomach.

Teath Your Children Manners

Parents Often N-egleci This Vital Part Of Education

DEAR MISS DIX: Wh don't parents teach their children good manners and respect for oi er people? My neighbors' children are very noisy, and when I called their mother the other day to ask her to keep them quiet, she hung up on me. if I say anything to the youngsters. they nnswer in s most impudent and imperilnent manner. All the people on the block complain about them, so I'm not Just being a crank. This seems to be A definite trend among chil- dren of today. They re never corrected by their parents for lack of c nsiderstion toward their eld- ers. and as for common courtesy. the parents, ap- parently. have never even heard the words! Tl-IALIA MARIE

ANSWER: Although most people today de- precate the value of good manners in children it is surprising to e their reactions when a really well- mannered chld is encountered. No matter how liberal a person may be in his views on courtesy among the young. he is favorably impressed by a child who typifies good breeding and rearing.

Muriel Nisaen

SHEER LAZINESS

Parents have a tendon y to shrug off the impudence of their chil- dren by observing that good manners are so old-fashioned; actually, the only reason they don't inculcate them in the young is sheer. un- adulterated laziness. It does take time and care to bring children up carefully, and far too many parents haven't the time or patience to put into the project. A child with a haphazard upbringing can not more become a well-adjusted adult than a similarly neglected puppy can be a fine dog. Many a man who'll spend hours training a hunt- ing dog won't give five minutes to teaching his son to say "Please" or "Thank you."

The most flagrant breach of good manners a child can commit also happens to be the most widespread: a total lack of any form of respect or consideration for his elders. The child who rises when an older person enters the room is all but extinct. as is the youngster who has learned to keep quiet while someone older is talking. Per- haps these were old-fashioned traits, but the fine people of today are those who were thus taught in their childhood.

Of curse. when a mother sets such a horrible example of be- havior as abruptly terminatinpa telephone call by banging down the receiver. we know what to expect from her offspring. What parents forget is that the standards they established for their youngsters will ultimately come home to roost. If early training has not included consideration for adults. for ones superiors in authority and age, such consideration will not be forthcoming to the parent when the child himself has reached adulthood. Principles are the result of example and precept. To let a child acquire a reputation for rude behavior.

ligent and indolent parent. Not a very nice achievement, is it?

DEAR MISS Dix: I am the mother of a 17-year-old boy who, about two years ago. was hit in the nose with a baseball bat. His nose subsequently became greatly enlarge-d.' All he does now is sit home and brood: he even wants to quit school. rCould doctors do any- thing fcr him. and where could I locate a doctor who wouldkliielp 13?

RS. .

ANSWER: Since you live in a large city with excellent hospital facilities. you should be able to locate. through them. a good plastic surgeon. Your eye, ear. nose and throat hospital is the best source. This work is expensive but since it involves the entire future of your child, it will be worth whatever it costs. The cost of these operations varies with the doctor so I can give you no idea of the price. I'd like to know if you're successful in finding a doctor. and if you have the operation performed.

DEAR MISS DIX: I go with a boy Ki. who lives in a village quite a distance from us. When Fred wants to see me, he has to walk into town-quite a distance-then walk another two miles to my house. Therefore. I have been going into town to meet him. I like him a lot and he is a very fine boy. but the neighbors are talking about me because I go to meet him. I am 1

MARJORIE A.

: ANSWER: You're a considerate girl to be so understanding of Fred's problem. and your neighbors are too critical. Don't walk into town all the time to meet him, however. Have him make the extra effort to get to your house once in a while. so your parents will be- come better acquainted with him. and when the may neighbors see that he really is a nice boy, perhaps they'll atop gossiping.
