If it’s become “always the
same old thing” on the table
at your house, it’s more than
time for a change. The best
way to avoid a mealtime rut
is to try new ways with old
foods or new combinations
which may prove popular.
Any homemaker’s life will
acquire a new dimension in
sparkle if she tries out some
new recipes once or twice a
month. Just an unexpected
savory aroma can bring the
family out of their pursuits
long enough for them to in-
quire, “What’s cooking?”
How nice when mother can
say, “It’s a surprise! Wait
’til dinner.”
Here are two suggestions
for punctuating family meals
with that surprise element,
says Reba Staggs, home
economist with the National
Live Stock and Meat Board.
One uses bulk pork sausage
meat turned into a tempting,
upside-down pie, while the
other provides a different
kind of stew, a dish so ideal
for cold weather.
An unusual combination of
foods is used in the lamb-
bean stew. Boneless lamb
cubes, however, harmonize
well with tomatoes, green
pepper and kidney beans.
Sausage Upside-Down Pie
1 pound fresh(bulk)
pork sausage
2 tablespoons water
2 medium onions, sliced
1 can (10^2 ounces)
tomato soup
2 cups Biscuit Mix
V2 to % cup milk
Shape sausage into patties
and place in frying-pan. Add
water, cover, and simmer 15
minutes. Remove cover and
allow water to evaporate and
sausage to brown. Place sau-
sage in casserole. Brown
onion rings in sausage drip-
pings. Arrange onions on
meat. Cover with tomato
soup. Add enough milk to
Biscuit Mix to make a soft
dough. Roll to fit casserole,
and place on top of meat
mixture. Bake in moderately
hot oven (400°F.) for 15 to
20 minutes. Turn out on
platter and serve. 6 servings.
Homemade Biscuit Mix
8 cups sifted flour
XA cup baking powder
4 teaspoons salt
1 cup lard for soft wheat
or iy2 cups lard for
hard wheat flour
Sift together flour, baking
powder and salt. Cut in lard
until the mixture has a fine
even crumb. Cover mix and
store in refrigerator. This
mix will keep at least a
month in the refrigerator.
Yield: 10 cups mix.
Lamb and Red Bean Stew
IV2 pounds boneless lamb,
cut in 1-inch cubes
XA cup flour
3 tablespoons lard or
drippings
2 teaspoons salt
/4 teaspoon pepper
1 can (16 ounces)
tomatoes
1 can (16 ounces)
kidney beans
1 green pepper, diced
Flour lamb and brown in
melted lard or drippings.
Season. Add tomatoes, beans
and green pepper. Cover and
simmer lx/2 hours, uncover-
ing last 15 minutes. 4 to 6
servings.

At WMS Meet

Is to be guest speaker at a
Tuesday meeting of Woman’s
Missionary Society, Grace
Temple Baptist Church,, The

NEW FRUIT SALAD

monds.
One of the easiest annual flowers to grow is spider flower.
The delicate florets have long, slender stamens which look like
spiders’ legs, hence the common name of the plant.
What do you notice first when you look at a spider? The long
legs, of course, all four pairs of them. A flower doesn’t have legs
but, when the stamens, growing from each flower, are so long
that they give the same impression as spider legs, what is more
natural than to call the plant “spider” flower?
Seeds of this annual need only come in contact with the soil
to produce a multitude of widely branching plants. Sow seeds
thinly because the plants grow better where they are planted.
You can, of course, transplant seedlings, but this must be done
carefully and they need frequent watering until they reestablish
themselves.
Spider flower is a good choice for a sunny place wherysjhe
soil is sandy. Sown in May, plants start to bloom in June^md
continue until frost. New flowers appear daily, opening in the
afternoon. Each individual floret looks much like a miniature
orchid and the long stamens contribute to an airy appearance.
There are two species of Cleome (the proper name for spider
flower) to which all the garden varieties belong. The best kn|»
is spinosa, and if you’ve ever touched the stem of a spider flo^r
you know why the name refers to spines.
To this species belongs the most popular variety, Pink Queen,
which has salmon-pink blossoms. There are also varieties with
flowers of other colors. Purple Queen and Rose Giant tell theirs
in their names. Helen Campbell has pure white blossoms.
All of the varieties listed above grow to about 3 to 4 feet tall,
the exact height depending on the conditions under which they
are growing.
Taller and slimmer are the plants of the second species, lutea,
meaning yellow. This is the native spider flower of the states
from Washington south to California and east to Colorado. As
you can guess, its flowers are yellow.
Of course plant breeders have been at work on this species,
too, and now there is a variety called Golden Sparkler which
has golden-orange blooms. Unfortunately it is little known and
seldom seen. It is very pretty.
All of these varieties, regardless of species, combine well
with other flowers but, since they are tall, they should be used
at the back of a bed or border. The form of spider flower plants
is widespread, so they really need something more compact
planted with them to contrast with that form.
A few plants of one of the hedge-type marigolds in front of
plants of Helen Campbell makes a pretty combination. Any com-
pact zinnia with flowers of a blending or contrasting color can
be used in front of the other spider flower varieties.
While spider flowers may be cut, they are not at all easy
to arrange.

Springtime Household Hints
A tisket, a tasket, an old
tired basket. If you’re spring
cleaning and have unearthed
some' old and odd baskets, don’t
throw them away. Restore
them by first washing with a
pine cleaner solution. Then
rinse and air dry the baskets
and they will be ready for
flowers, fruit, bread, or collec-
tor's items. Paint the baskets if
you like, but the scrubbed, un-
finished look is popular, too.
Old stone crocks, sipping
jugs and other pottery items
are decorative
and can be
, practical, too.
They can hold
pussy willows,
flowers or
greenery,serve
as planters,
doorstep orna-
ments or, when
large enough,
as umbrella holders. If you
have acquired old, grimy pot-
tery items, clean them up be-
fore you display them. Use a
pine oil cleaner to clean, dis-
infect and deodorize all at once.
The old butter churn is here
to stay if you make good use
of it. The body makes an un-
usual umbrella holder. The
churning unit itself holds a
bottle of wine in smart fash-
ion. If you fall heir to an old
butter churn, wash it first in
a pine cleaner solution. Start-
ing clean, you’ll be better able
to see what the next steps will
be. If there is a heavy old fin-
ish, use turpentine and #3
steel wool. Then sand smooth-
ly with the grain of the wood,
wipe off the dust and smooth
with fine steel wool. Finish off
with a turpentine-moist cloth.
Mrs. C. Schmitz
Visits Relatives
Mrs. Clarence Schmitz of
Bismark, N, D., arrived here
Tuesday to spend two weeks
with her daughter and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Teeter,
and her only grandson, Adam
T eeter.
Mrs. Schmitz and her hus-
band live on a large ranch in
N orth Dakota. He has extensive
wheat acreage and breeds quar-
ter horses and Angus and Here-
ford cattle and operates feed
lots, among other projects.
Kermit Student
Practice Teaching
Bobby Wayne Worley of Ker-
mit is among some 716 North
Texas State University students
serving as student teachers in
the Dallas-Fort Worth-Denton
area schools during spring se-
mester.
Worley, son of Mrs. Doris
Worley, 213 North Cedar, is
teaching industrial arts at Irv-
ing High School. He is a 1964
graduate of Kermit High School.
Holds Regular
Session
Regular meeting of Royal
Trimettes TOPS Club was held
with each member weighing-in
as she entered Extension Cen-
ter.
TOPS pledge was repeated
in unison and TOPS, PIGS and
TURTLES were recognized.
A red stuffed pig was given
to the person who had gained
the most weight. Club rules re-
quire its recipient to carry it
at all times for a week or be
subject to a fine when caught
without it by another club mem-
ber.
Members also discussed the
advice given by Dr. A. R. How.
ard at the last club meeting.
SPECIAL RICE
Kids will adore it if you use
canned red fruit punch as the
liquid for quick-cooking rice.
A few leftover berries or
chopped fruit bits will make
the rice even prettier. Top with
whipped cream for a party
dessert, or serve as accom-
paniment to roast meats for a
main course treat.

Direct
Sowing
Direct sowing means planting seeds
directly in the ground where they are
to grow and mature.
There are certain advantages to this
way of handling annuals.
First, you get more for your
money because you do not lose any
seedlings through transplanting. (As
you know, there are many seeds in a
packet and practically all of them
sprout.)
Next, seeds sown directly in the
ground usually produce sturdier
plants. They not only grow more
vigorously but also start to bloom
earlier because they were not
transplanted.
Third, it’s less work to sow directly
in the soil. It takes only a few minutes
to mark a row and scatter seeds. It
takes a lot longer to start seeds indoors
and move the seedlings to the garden.
