An Editorial
Kitchen Tourists

LAST MONTH the home demon
stration club members of Teton
county conducted a visit to seven
homes in the county with the pur-
pose of observing both new and re-
modelled kitchens.
All of the kitchens visited showed
much careful planning for the par
ticular needs of the family. Five
were remodeled kitchens, one was
being built and the other had just
been completed. These last two were
Of course models in arrangement,
grouping and planning of details.
Both had utility rooms for laundry,
Mushroom for the men and the other
such needs on a ranch.
The five remodeled kitchens de-
monstrated that any kitchen, no
matter how impossible it has been,
may be changed as to Encouragement
and grouping of working centers and
convenient and detail planned cup
board and storage space, making it
as attractive and easy to work in as
any new kitchen.
Five were the popular U-shape
plan where the working area is
concentrated in a three-sided ar
rangement. ALI had given careful
attention to plenty of light with win
dows or artificial light over work
tables.
1.-THE man of the house, at one of
the homes visited was particularly
proud of the fact that his wife could
stand at the work table and look out
of three windows, one to the east,
the south and the west.
The Individual planning of the
cupboards was interesting, each
housewife having her WI pet needs
and wants.
Gone is the drab, unattractive
kitchen. In its place are the smooth
white enamel, bright colored trim,
mings, pretty linoleum with set-ir
design, correct lighting and every
modern convenience.
Pictures and more descriptive ma
terials of these kitchens will be useC
in later issues.

attention, Mrs. Housewife
Fill the Larder for Winter
BY MRS. NARY HEUSER

FOOD PRESERVATION to the
housewife of today means canning
with the modern pressure cooker or
freezing in the modern automatic
freezer or sailing, drying, with all
the modern appliances that we have
in use today.
Yes, we used the word modern"
three times in that first sentence,
and we did it with a purpose-to
make the housewife think a bit,
think back to primitive days when
man learned his first lessons in food
preservation.
Primitive man first had to kill
animals daily to provide the food
he ate, since he had no method of
preserving it. Then, one day he
discovered that keeping his food in
a cool crevice in a rocky cave would
keep the food for several days, and
so man learned his first lesson in
food preservation.
We jump quite a period of time
and come to the Romans under Nero,
emperor, and we find a more adj
vanced method of food preservation.
Nero had hundreds of slaves toiling
ceaselessly up and down the Apen-
nine mountains bearing on their
shoulders heavy bales of snow. In
the emperor's courtyard the snow
was stored in deep trenches insulat-
ed with straw. Into these snow
banks went the meat, fish, fruit to
be served on Nero's banquet table.
The Root Cellar
Again we jump over another pc
Rod of time to the Pilgrims who
left Europe and came to the New
World in America. Because of ex-
IRENE cold and the hazards of In
dian attacks, these early settlers dug
caves beneath their homes. Thus
the root cellar" an underground
warehouse had its beginning.
In SUMMER chimes, where food was
abundant, the temperature milde1
and the hazards to health and happi-
nes fewer, perishable foods were
lowered into the chilly depths of {
well, to be drawn as needed from it:
cold interior, and so we had "tht
old oaken bucket"
And sentimentally inscribed il
many a memory today is the ole
Spring house." where shining PAN
of milk and cream were set in shall
low troughs, while around them ed
died and swirled cold water from
meadow stream or from a spring

Our housewife reads over that
budget and thinks, "Does n per-
son actually need to eat all that
food in SO weeks?" 1t sounds like
so much. But, we must remember
So weeks mean nine months, and
nine months is quite some time. So
our housewife must go back to the
multiplication table and multiply
that budget by six if she wants to
keep that family of hers well fed.
Planning Essential
That budget, of course, is just a
suggestion. One family eats more
tomatoes, or less potatoes, and n
housewife prefers to do more freez-
ing and less canning, also sailing or
brining and dehydrating. But plan
ming your work is essential in car
rying out your food preservation
schedule. Of course, you cannot de-
termine exactly what your family's
food needs will be, but it is impor-
tant to have at least a rough esti-
mate of your requirements before
you start your program for the sum-
mer.
In your root cellar may be stored
potatoes, onions, turnips, apples,
pumpkins and squash. But the air
must be moist, as fruits and vege-
tables are composed of at least 85
percent water, and unless the mois-
ture content of the room is high,
they will o shrivel and may spoil.
In some storage rooms it may be
necessary to throw water on the
floor from time to time, but if the
floor is naturally moist, so much the
better. And the temperature must
be as low as possible without ae-
tually freezing; around 35 to 38 de-
grees is excellent. Our housewife

time in canning. The modern home

gives the family fresh vegetables

operation for the housewife.
And so, in planning for those win

needed for our housewife and home
maker to feed her family nourishing
food and keep them happy-in plan

Modern Facilities
But the lucky housewife of today
has all that period of experimental
ton behind her. Let us look in on
a ranch home where the mother
cooks for a family of six. She has
a pressure cooker for canning. She
is now using the freezer locker plant
in a nearby town for storing her
frozen foods or a freezer locker in
her own home. Of course, she is a
busy lady with that family to cook
for, even with all the modern APP
pliances at her command. She has
long ago learned that,
"To love and honor are okay
And one might promise to obey
But what makes wives turn slow
ly gray
Is what to cook each blessed
day"
Yes, our housewife is a wise lady.
She likes to cook and to provide
good food for her family. She is
going to have a garden with all
kinds of fresh vegetables. Those
vegetables are good for her family,
and she wants to preserve them
properly in order to fill the larder
for next winter. But first, why not
get out pencil and paper and make
out a regular budget? That is the
sensible way to attack the problem.
How much does her family need
how much cabbage, how many
quarts of tomatoes, how many cans
of fruit? Is there any schedule by
which she can plan this budget?
Yes, we have a canning budget
that is based ON the proper nutri-
tional requirements of meat, fruit
and vegetables for the So non-pro-
ductive weeks of the year, and here
it is.
