FOR Mseuce?
Heard Of Then,
BY VERA LUND PRAAST

NOT LONG AGO, I ran across
1853 school excuse slip, listing 20
different reasons for hardness and
absence from school, such as illness,
bad weather, oversleeping, car
trouble and late bus.
Conditions were quite the opposite
during my school days in Northeast
ern Montana. Those days, country
pupil had to have very good reason
to go to school, in winter, anyhow.
Excuses for absence? Never heard
of them.
A country pupil could not go to
school any time he wanted to go.
The weather had to be fairly good,
in the first place. Parents figured
that an education would not do chill
dren much good if they froze to
death getting it. Better stay home
and be ignorant, but alive.
Then, when the blizzard quit
bowling, or the extra suns went

SCHOOL DAYS ARE busy, active
days for children. The first step to
make them successful days is good
breakfast. And then nourishing
lunch at noon. Many schools have a
lunch project but there are still a
great many children who carry
lunches from home. Lunches-and
good ones-need not be great task
if you are well organized.
Sandwiches are the old standby
for away-from-home lunches. You
can make them different from day
to day. Vary the bread as well as
the filling. Plain white bread is the
most acceptable, of course, and it is
available with added calcium, with
added Vitamin D and enriched-with
added iron niacin, riboflavin and
thiamine-to provide an extra mar
gin of health safety for your chill
dren. Quick breads of the fruit and
nut type are nice for frequent
changes, also.
Here are a few production tips
that'u chop minutes off the sand
Matchmaking task:
1. Prepare some of your favorite
Filings, like deviled ham, chopped
egg, and peanut butter with chill
sauce, the night before and store
covered in the refrigerator.
2. Line up slices of bread, in pairs
on cleared work table.
8. Use softened butter and spread
all slices of bread in one operation.
4. Spread Filings on alternate
rows of bread in one operation, al
lowing about 1/3 cup per sandwich
or if filling is sliced meat, allow
a slice of meat, such as ham or
bologna, and a slice of cheese per
sandwich.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-09-15

5. Put second slice of bread on top
of filling also in one operation.
6. Cut all sandwiches. Tear, all
at one time, enough wax paper of
proper lengths to wrap each sand
witch individually.
z. Wrap up lettuce or watercress
in wax paper for the luncher to in
sert in the sandwich before eating.
If you have freezer, you might
find it handy to freeze a couple
weeks supply of sandwiches at one
time. 1t will spare you the usual
last-minute morning rush and help
you give the youngsters something
new every day. Here are some tips
on freezing sandwiches:
l. Use day-old bread and leave
the crusts on.
2. Spread thin layer of butter on
both slices of bread, being careful
to cover from crust to crust. This
will prevent the filling from soaking
into the bread. Use butter at room
temperature; do not melt.
8. Because lettuce, tomatoes and
other salad green's lose their crisp
ness when frozen, they should be
added to sandwiches only when
ready to be eaten.
4. Sandwich spreads containing
mayonnaise, salad dressing, raw veg
etables, hard-cooked egg whites,
jams or jellies are about the only
Filings that do not. freeze satisfac-
torily.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-09-15

5. Wrap each sandwich individS~
ally in moisture proof material, and
label.
6. There are two ways of storing
sandwiches and other lunch box
foods in the freezer. You can either
put up complete lunch boxes-in-
Guiding in each an individually
wrapped sandwich, piece of cake,
and some fruit in a h-pint (or
smaller) container-label and freeze.
Or you can freeze all the individually
wrapped sandwiches together in a
cardboard box, the cake in another,
ETC., and let the children select what
ever they like just before going off
to school.
z. Do not store frozen sandwiches
longer than two weeks, and never
refreeze them once they are thawed.
8. Sandwiches removed from the
freezer before 9 in the morning will
be completely thawed and ready to
eat at noon.
Sandwiches provide the staple of
any lunchbox, but don't forget the
extras. Al thermos of hot, nourish-
ing soup is good and substantial, and
should be included often, especially
when cold weather comes. Fruit
should also be included-an orange,
a banana, an apple, grapes, peaches,
pears or whole tomato. An extra
treat such as nuts, raisins, dates or
piece of candy adds interest. And
you should always include thermo&
of milk.

away or the mercury in the Their
mometer once more became visible,
the children could go to school. They
could, that is, if it did not look like
one of those treacherous mice"
mornings that turned into a raging
storm an hour later. AS some I'M
fortunate froze to death practically
every winter, it is no wonder par
ents were suspicious of the weather.
Study at Home
Some pupils kept textbooks at
home. Then they reported weekly
at school, for an hour or so, when
Father drove the team and sleigh to
town for mail and groceries. Even
out-of-state teachers were quite I'M
derstanding about such an arrange
ment, assigning lessons and giving
examinations to enable a pupil to
pass his grade.
School was, however, preferable
to home study. Many country pupils
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-09-15

walked two, three, or even five or
six miles to and from school, and
helped with the home chores besides.
Other pupils rode horseback, some
times two or three to horse, if the
horse would stand for it. Riding
bareback was considered safer than
with saddle, for there were no
stirrups to catch a child's foot and
cause him to be dragged, in case he
fell off. Some saddle horses were
so trained that, after taking young
ster to school, they could be turned
loose to return home by themselves.
Sometimes, too, horses managed to
get united and to come home by
themselves. Then, hours later, weary
children returned home afoot.
Country pupils often drove horse
and cart or buggy. One horse could
pull a buggy with half a dozen
youngsters in it. theoretically, the
horse was supposed to be unhitched
from the buggy while at school, so
he could rest and eat the sack of
hay brought from home. Unless I'M
hitched, frequently the horse turned
in the shafts and broke them. Father
then had to fix the shafts with that
fine old all-around member, a piece
of barbed-wire, minus the barbs.
Some school buggies had been fixed
so often that large garden could

Cured in the home. The $4,000
fatalities and the thousands of in
juries remind us that accidents in
the home are usually caused by
thoughtlessness, carelessness, poor
judgment, haste, nervousness, phys
ical frailty or fatigue.
Most accidental deaths in homes
are the results of falls, grease, food
and liquids spilled on the kitchen
floor and the use of such unstable
articles as rickety chairs and stools
to stand on to reach high places
are the main causes of falls.
Scalds and burns are the second
greatest danger, especially to chill

grease, use of kerosene or gasoline
to start fires and carelessness in
using flammable cleaning fluids
cause most of the burns and scalds
Cuts rank high among kitchen ac-

VioletS are the hobby of Mrs.
Edward T. Beall, wife of the
new manager of Montgomery
County, Md.
"I have violets blooming for
you today" said pretty little Mrs.
Beall, as we drove out to her
home near Olney, Md, one day
In the last week Of october.
II went out to gather some
black walnuts this morning"
continued Mrs. Beall, "and there
smiling up at me was a nice, big
violet. looked around and there
were others-each one beside a
black walnut. I can hardly wait
to analyze the walnut juice and
skin covering to see If they con-
tain growth-promoting hormoneS
or other elements that stimulate
the violets to bloom now, instead
of waiting until next spring."
Mrs. Beall says that wherever
she finds a luXuriant growth of
violetS, she makes study Of the
trees above, the plants nearby
and the soil beneath.
When Mrs. Beall was asked
how she became interested in her
hobby, she said. 1T all started
at the suggestion of my twin sis
ter who observed, We live in New
Jersey and the State flower is
the violet; we were born in Feb
ruary and the flower of the month
is the violet and our class flower
at st. GATHERINGS Academy Is
the violet"
Mrs. Beall. who holds a bach
elor of science degree in chem
istry. botany and pharmacy
from Rutgers School of Phar-
macy, in Newark, N. j., has made
a scientific study of the violet
for 25 years. She and her hus-
band lived in Portsmouth, Ohio,
before coming to Montgomery
County and Mrs. Beall says that
violetS of Southern Ohio are the
most outstanding of all she has
seen.
Whenever she reads a book or
magazine, Mrs. Beall keeps a
pencil and several 3x5 cards
nearby and jots down any refer
ence to the violet she may happen
to find. Her file now consists
of over 1000 index cards.
There are over 800 species of
violets." she says, land over 100
different kinds are to be found
in the United States and
Canada"
Mrs. Beal has learned that

VioIets Play Big Role In Life Of Mrs. BeoII

Of the whole medical profession.
All this because a snake revived
its mate by feeding her violets.
Mrs. Beall says the violet en-
tered even into French politics.
She has a newspaper clipping
from the Irish World stating:
when Napoleon Bonaparte left
France on his first exile to the
Isle of Elba, he is said to have
remarked to his friends: I will
return with the violetS.' Those
who hoped and plotted for his
return are said to have worn
violets. The flower became the
emblem of constancy. The day
that Napoleon returned became
known as the Day of the Vio-
let's and was recognized as a
holiday"
"The violet is often used as
an antidote against rattlesnake
bites" continued Mrs. Beall,
"and hunters in Pennsylvania
carry the flowers and leaves in
their pockets-just in case OF
snake bite.
"The humble violet contains a
glucoside, violaquercitan, iden-
tical to rutin, which is found
in all geriatric vitamins, and its
leaves contain an abundance OF
chlorophyl."
Mrs. Beall's research into the
chemical aspects of the violet
have enabled her to compound
her own formula for a plant fer
tilizer which she calls "U-rain-
a-moss." She makes also a deli
cate perfume from the oils and
stems of the violetS.
Although Mrs. Beall's study OF
the violets carry her deeply into
pharmaceutics and therapeutics,
she has also a purely feminine
interest in her flowers. She col
lectS antique china, decorated in
the violet pattern: she has a col
lection of Friendship" cups,
decorated with violets. and a
dinner service in the. Southern
plantation violet" pattern. But
best of all, her husband presents
her every Christmas with a SEN
timental gift-beautiful lingerie,
printed with violets.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beall live in
Montgomery County in the lovely
house belonging to Eric Eng
lund, who is now attached to the
American Embassy in London.
One of the rooms on the first
floor has already been converted
into a workmanlike laboratory
for the delightful Mrs. Beall.
