QUERY?

mrs. P. T. G., Washington
I believe this may be the
poem requested by one of the
readers this past week:
DEATH AT SUPPERTIME.
Between the dark and the daylight.
When the night Is beginning to lower,
Comes pause in the days occupation,
That Is known as the Children'S
Then sE,,na endeth the the skipping and
The Elggles. the tantrums, and tears,
Alert grow the innocent ears.
The little boys leap from the stairways.
Girls lay down their dolls on the dot.
For promptly at f1ve DER the airways,
Comes violence geared to the tot.
Comes murder, comes arson, come G.
Pursuing unspeakabla spies;
Come gangsterS and tough-talking he
With six-shooters strapped to their
thighs.
Comes the corpse in the dust comes the
dictum
wh. the better start s.r. sinsn rst Sct
The killer unleashes his gat.
With MAYHEM the. twilight is reeling,
Hands reach for the sky or the ceiling,
AS the ,daeger strikes home in the
dark
And 10! with what rapturous wonder.
The little ones hark to each ia lie
OF gambler shot down with his, plunder
Or outlaw abducting the mail.
Between the news and the tireless
Commercial, while tempers turn sour
Comes a season of horror by wireless
That is known as the Children's Hour.

I clipped this from the New
Yorker several years ago.
do not know the issue or the
date.
I thoroughly enjoyed the many
responses for spaghetti recipes
and incorporated some of the
ideas into the way I made my
sauce. The cinnamon makes a
rather sweet sauce which we
liked as a sauce for chicken.
also added pureed carrots to
that particular recipe. I do
not remember seeing a recipe
that called for oregano. To add
a spicy flavor, a dash of that in
any recipe that was printed lit
is also excellent for gravies and
for oil and vinegar dressings.
For those that have blenders,
If they make puree of their un-
cooked vegetables, peppers.
onions, celery. garlic, etc. and
add to the oil simmered ground
beef, they will have a meat
sauce that will not need strain
ing. I prefer making it that
way. Since I do not measure the
amounts of seasoning use, no
two patches of my sauce are
the same. A composite sauce
using dash" or more of the
many Seasonings mentioned plus
the oregano, made one of the
most delicious sauces I have
ever made.
I have found the blender one
OF the most useful items in my
kitchen, and highly recommend
their use; gelatin salads calling
for cream cheese and fruit mix
lures; for simple batters; mix
ing frozen fruit juices and milk
drinks, for pureeing table foods
for the baby, example since we
are family of three, a box of
frozen vegetables is just enough
for two adult servings and one
blended serving for baby.
Has any one tried to match
cannlster bottles for ANTIQUE
condiment sets? I have hunted
in antique shops without sue
cess. Any ideas?
COLD HOME?
Mrs. w. S., West HyattsvilleJ
Could some of you, co-opera-
tive rec ders please tell me what
to do to make our home more
enjoyable this winter? It is a
basementless, two-story home.
and the heating ducts down.
stairs are almost at the ceiling.
AS a result our floors are always
cold
am interested in getting
some kind of heater, but do not
know what kind as do want to
be able to heat at least the liv-
ing room, II feet by % feet.
We do not have a fireplace so
gas logs are out of the question
as I've been informed they need
a flue. I do hope some one who
has corrected this condition will
kindly pass along this informa-
tion to me, so we and our chill
dren can enjoy this winter with
