by specially trained teachers who
encourage each child to develop
what powers he has, VIII enable
him to grow up ''into q self-sup-
porting. Independent, happy useful
citizen"
Every physically handicapped
child in the United States should
be under the guidance Of an ex-
pert and technically trained teach
er, says the report. To accomplish
this school administrators con-
cerned with the education Of child
rem Of lowered vitality need to ar
range for temporary instruction
under specially trained teachers OF
regular classes pending expert ex-
animation; to provide technically
trained, experienced teachers for
classes Of physically handicapped
children; and to provide home
teachers.
The teacher is the basic factor
in educating, training and place
ment. In the final analysis, she
must apply all the technical fac
tors with which the child must be
surrounded to make him ultimate
ly an asset instead Of a liability.
Therefore, the teacher should be
wherever the physically handicap
ped child is found, In hospitals,
convalescent homes, private and
public schools, or even in the
child's own home, whether in large
cities, towns, villages, or isloated
places. The advent Of the teachers
is the open door and opportunity.
with such a program, It is Dos
sible to do what is already being
accomplished in some places, to
give handicapped children continu-
Gus instruction, during periods in
the hospital or at home, so that
they may keep up with children of
their own age. In New York CITY,
for instance, during the past few
years the age Of graduation from
grammar school of children who
are handicapped has been reduced
from IL and 10 years to that Of the
average normal child.
The program for the health and
care Of the handicapped child in
cludes physicians, school transport
alton, special physical activities
adapted to the abilities of each
child, physiotherapy, hot lunches,
and a mid-session glass Of pastur-
lied milk, orange juice or bullion.
There are needed also more op-
portunities for placing the handi-
capped in suitable occupations, for
localized workshops, for sheltered
shops for those who can work part
time only, and for the organization
OF home work for the home bound.
The cost of properly caring for
and training handicapped children
so that they may become self-re-
specting citizens is small compar-
ed with the upkeep Of the institu-
tions necessary for them as liabil-
tiles according to the report. In
addition, untold human suffering
is prevented or supplanted by
happiness and chievement.

Table Talks
Dot Learns to Cook


II you cream the butter until 1t
Is soft and plastic whenever you
make butter cakes or cookies, 1t
will be easy for you to combine the
sugar with the butter" This sage
advice was given to nine year old
Dot by her mother in her first real
lesson in the art Of cookery. Since
Dot was interested in the prepara-
ton of foods, Mother Briggs decid-
ed to cultivate this interest by
teaching her some Of the rudiments
of cookery.
In choosing dishes for Dot to try,
Mrs. Briggs selected simple recipes
so that Dot would not be discour-
aged by too many failures. Before
Dot began making any dish, her
Mother discussed the recipe with
her and then allowed her to pro-
coed without further supervision.
Mrs. Briggs realized that Dot
would much rather cook alone and
her Mother found it difficult to re-
frain from interfering if she watch
ed Dot experiment in the kitchn.
, Some of the recipes which Dot
learned to make successfully after
one or two trials are:
Cream of Cauliflower Soup
cups cauliflower
small onion, sliced
2 tbsp butter
"a tsp. salt
Dash pepper
I quart milk
Grated cheese (may be omitted)
Cook the cauliflower in an I'M
covered kettle in enough boiling
sailed water to cover. Only about
ten minutes of cooking is required.
Drain cauliflower and chop fine.
Cook onion in butter until soft nd
yellow. Add milk, seasoning and
cauliflower. Serve piping hot, with
strips of toast. Grated cheese may
be sprinkled over the top Of the

quently included whole grain dish
in her menus. Whole grain generals
are an Inexpensive source of en-
ergy, protein, minerals and vita
min B. When used with milk, a
very nearly balanced menu Is pos
sible with whole grain cereals. Be
cause of their bland flavor cereals
can be served often and in numer-
Gus combinations.
One Of Mother Briggs pet"
economies is the use Of leftover
cereal in waffles or pan cakes. This
is her receipt for pancakes.
Cereal Pancakes
1 cup left over porridge, rolled
oats or cooked wheat cereal
IL cups milk
egg -TT'i
1 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
Y tsp. salt
2 tbsp melted fat
Start mixing pancake batter only
q few minutes before cakes are to
be served. Put griddle on to heat.
Measure the porridge and turn into
a mixing bowl. It should be stiff
enough to unmold. If 1t is not
Of ordinary stiffness, milk will be
required. Add milk, and egg and
beat until porridge is free from
Jumps. Sift flour then measure.
Resift with the baking powder
and salt. Add porridge mixture to
the flour, and beat only long
enough to obtain a smooth batter.
Add the melted fat and stir until
well blended. Test the temperature
Of the griddle by sprinkling few
drops Of water on 1t. If drops re-
main perfect little globes and spin
around in lively manner and sud-
denly evaporate, the griddle Is hot
enough. Rub a thin film Of fat over
the hot griddle and begin to bake
the cakes. Turn cakes over with q
spatula when they are baked to a
rich brown on under side. Yield: "a
three and one half inch cakes.
With cereal pancakes, Mrs.
Briggs served Swiss honey made by

MAYBE IAN apple a day keeps
VI the doctor away" but by the
same token a salad day keeps us
youthful and gay.
Every salad is just that much
clear gain on the yitamin side of
the ledger. It's the fresh. uncook-
ed vegetables that make the profit
for health and everyone should
have a good balance on hand"
! Too often salads are regarded
as just a fussy extra and their
merits as valuable food are over
looked. Vegetable. fruit. fish and
meat salads all have their places
! in we'll chosen menus and supply
necessary nutrients in an attrac-
tive fashion. The desirability of
using as many uncooked vegetables
and fruits in our menus as possible
is constantly being urged, and sal
ads provide most satisfactory
means to this end.
Undoubtedly there's a fine art
In combining salad materials, and
often clever and artistic person
makes her salad a veritable pic
ture. But every woman, no matter
how busy she may be, can make
her salad inviting and good TO look
st by following a few simple rules.
FIRST-Remember that a sal
ad made of uncooked materials
must be absolutely clean and free
from any suspicion of sand. The
green" whether it be lettuce. en-
dive. cress or some other plant.
must be perfectly clean. Any salad
garnish such as radishes and cell
cry must be carefully washed and
prepared.
SECOND-A salad must be
crisp. The green's must be tender
and dry. Water clinging to the
leaves. ruins any salad dressing
and detracts from the flavor of the
other materials.
TH1RD-A salad should be cool.
This is one of the reasons for a
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-25

mixture itself is a so-called Com
bination" salad. the materials
should be cut in definite. uniform
pieces.
FIFTH-The dressing must be
suitable to the salad and the salad
suitable to the meal. Elaborate
salads with rich dressings are out
OF place in the dinner menu, but
are often liked for luncheon where
they fill a prominent place.
Most men will eat a lettuce SAL
ad with a piquant dressing. Rus
sian. Thousand Island, Roquefort
cheese and chiffonade dressings
are all good with head lettuce and
offer variety. A lighter. less rich
dressing is made by.adding bits OF
cut fruit such as strawberries,
pineapple. cherries or whatever is
at hand to a well seasoned French
dressing.

and provided the atmosphere OF the
early days in the history of this
country.
The program was presented by

various numbers on the program in
10 an harmonious whole

playing their accompaniments.
These spirituals, characteristic OF
the southern plantation life, were

Other splendid musical numbers
were the minuets, one a piano solo
by Mrs. Edgar Hargraves, and the
other, violin solo by Helen Heald
Bechtell, accompanied by Mrs. Har-
graves. Mrs. Bechtell also played
two other old-fashioned songs.
Concluding the program, Mrs.

charming poems written in Colonial
days. Too much cannot be said in
praise of the clever way in which
Mrs. Maitland tied the various
numbers OF the program together

SOAP

SERVICE

TAKE this big package of soap
bubbles in your left hand. Take
this smaller package of White
King in your right. Which is the
heavier? Well, you see how
il is!
The answer is that White Kings
yranulated form permits il 10 pack
closer in the carton, like sugar. So
YOU really get more for your money
from the smaller package. The
suds are more significant than
size. And when il comes TO actual
washing value, White King Gran
ulated Soap admits no equal.
White Kings economy will sur
prise you. A teaspoonful in
basin of water for fine hngeric--a
cupful for the washing machine.
