AMONG THE
HOMEMAKERS
Let's have a picnic!

Here are some suggestions for
picnic lunches from the Nutrition
lists of the Maryland State Depart
ment of Health:
"Fresh air and exercise can al
ways be depended upon to increase
the appetite, SO be sure 30 include
something substantial and filling
when you are planning a picnic
lunch.
Something hot is always enjoy
ed and with little planning can
easily be prepared either at home
or on one of the open air grills
that are becoming more and more
popular.
"For the hot food brought from
home, try a steaming homemade
vegetable soup, or stew, we'll
seasoned and filled with fresh
vegetables from your own garden.
You can carry soup or stew in
thermos jug and you can be sure
it will be enjoyed.
"Start with ground beef cakes,
which can be shaped at home and
cooked quickly over the grill, for
your outdoor cooked food. You
can buy a portable grill at a very
reasonable price or you can make
your own. You can build one very
easily for home use in your own
back yard, from directions that
you will be able to get in the near
est library.
eff you like to cook your food
on sticks try a piece of American
cheese wrapped around with a
strip or two of bacon and toast
over the fire. Let the bacon fat
drip on to toasted whole wheat
roll during the cooking process.
Take along some sound, ripe to-
matoes and slice them on your
toasted cheese sandwiches.
"Potato salad carries easily, but
for change try an appetizing
combination vegetable salad. Any
of your favorite combinations of
cucumbers, onions, green peppers,
cabbage. carrots, or whatever else
is growing in your garden can be
assembled at home and carried in
a glass jar. The dressing can be
placed in another jar and added
just before serving.
Vegetable, sticks made from
carrots, cucumbers and celery can
be kept crisp and fresh by wrap
ping them in waved paper. They
will supply some extra vitamins
and minerals. Hard-boiled eggs,
left in the shell, are easy to carry
and have a very special place as
filters.
"Be sure your drinking water
comes from a tested spring or
well. Thermos jugs are very use
full for carrying milk, or mixed
fruit juices, or lemonade that is
sweetened, of course, with syrup
or honey.
"You will find some interesting
suggestions as to appetizing filters
for sandwiches and other ideas for
picnic lunches, in folder entitled
''The School Lunch that is pub
lished by the Maryland State
Health Department and that you
can get by writing to your County
Health Department"

The Gaithersburg Public Library
no longer has paid librarian, and
they have moved into the Town
Council room in the firehouse.
Chatting with Mrs. John Larcombe
of the Board of Trustees, we find
they have received about fifty
books from Mr.. Baugh, who was
closing his house in Florida. The
gift was made through Mrs. Pratt
of Silver Spring, a daughter of
the donor.
Through an exchange of books
with the Rockville Library and
with Baltimore, there is always

Bu ELSIE WHITE HAINEs

When we gaze at the tiny
stream of water trickling over the
rocks along the upper reaches of
the PatuXent River, we wonder
how it can ever fill the six billion
gallon reservoir, soon to be COM
pleted just below Triadelphia-th
last opening was closed last week
and already the first billion gallons
is being stored.
You remember that the rivers
and creeks of Maryland with rare
exceptions, were named by the
Indians who once lived ON their
borders, and were usually so called
for some popularity which they
possessed. Paw, in the dialect of
the Five Nations, means small,
tuxent, conveys the idea of descent
or falls = "Small Descending

tiques-had taken us to Mexican

virons well-what could we show
her?

that in the midst of the color Of
California she missed the lush

thought of Schooley's Mill-the

we visited there year ago and

first mill there around 1850, he
