The Silly Season


This is the time of year when teen
ayers amble home from school with
their coats unbuttoned, when young
er fry splash through the deepest
puddles. In northern states, the man
of the house plants a few rows of
peas, although he knows there's sure
to be another freeze. In Southern
states, people walk in happy daze
beneath the first Towering trees and
are caught by sudden showers.
One mild day in the middle of
March, and human beings seem to
take leave of their senses. The Silly
Season, the Sneeze Season, call it
what you will, it usually results in
an epidemic of colds.
If you are the mother of family
and responsible for the health of
group infected with False Spring
Fever, what can you do? You can't
follow each one around constantly
with hats, raincoats, and rubbers.
You can't lock them up until the true
spring arrives. Grandmother used
to bring out the bottle of sulphur and
molasses. She had some vague idea
that the blood was sluggish after
the long winter months and bodies
needed toning up to meet the de-
mands of the new season. She
wasn't far wrong.
I The wisest thing you can do is
take it for granted that your family
will be especially exposed to colds
at this time and build up their resist
ance. A cold is quite annoying
enough in itself, but its worst fea-
ture is the fact that it lowers resist
ance to more serious infections.
Be sure that every member of
the family gets plenty of rest and
sound sleep. If any member of the
family seems run down" and COM
plains of feeling constantly tired, a
visit to the doctor is in order If
cold symptoms start, a day of rest in
bed will usually ward off serious
developments. Children with colds
should be kept at home, for their
own protection as well as for that of
their classmates.
Do the best you can and have pa
thence. The Silly Season will pass.

This And That

Cleaning costume jewelry can be
easy, just by dropping the pieces into
a solution of ammonia, made with
three tablespoons household am
monia to one pint of water. This
removes dirt and tarnish. Use a
soft brush or cloth to go over the
jewelry. Go lightly on gold-plated
pieces to avoid risk of scratching,
or rubbing off the finish. 1t is best
not to saturate pieces containing
stones as the stones might be loosen
ed. Just use the cloth and brush.
After cleaning rinse with clear warm
water, either by dipping or using a
cloth wrung out of the warm water.
For a buffet supper when COM
pany's coming, line baking dish
with stalks of canned asparagus, top
with slices of chicken or turkey. Then
add rich cream sauce, sprinkle with
grated Parmesan cheese and heat in
moderate oven until top is deli
cately Drowned.
Delicious Patties. To one pound
of ground beef add cup of cooked
rice, one egg, two mashed graham
crackers, teaspoon of salt and a
dash of pepper; mix thoroughly.
Form into patties, cover with flour
and fry on both sides until just
brown. Then place the patties in a
steamer, top with catsup and steam
for about an hour. Makes ten.

How about serving a perfect Gus
tard? 1t is an appetizing springtime
dessert and perfect because it fits
every occasion. Starting with fresh
eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla, you
can make many luscious desserts.
The way you cook them makes the
difference.
For real glamour and delicious
eating, try this -
Strawberry Floating Island
4 eggs, or 3 eggs and yolks,
slightly beaten
25 cup sugar
l teaspoon flour
212 cups scalded milk
"a teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
l cup hulled strawberries
Combine eggs, sugar, and flour.
Gradually stir in milk. Cook, stir
ring constantly, over hot but not
boiling, water until mixture coats
spoon. Remove from heat immedi-
ately. Cool slightly. Stir in salt and
vanilla. Chill rapidly. Pour over
Strawberries in bowl Top with =
Meringues: Beat 2 egg whites with
Is teaspoon cream of tartar and u
teaspoon salt till frothy. Add p tea
spoon vanilla. Add "a cup sugar, /
tablespoon at a time, beating after
each addition. Continue beating till
mixture is shiny and stiff. Drop
from tablespoon into 2 cups scalding
milk. Do not cover. Cook over low
heat till meringues are firm, about 5
minutes. Lift carefully onto custard.
Garnish top of meringues with extra
berries, if desired. Serves 4 to 5.
Note: Reserve the milk used for
poaching the meringues for cooking
later in white sauce, gravy, and pud-
dings.
For the purpose of saving on your
milk, see no reason why the mer-
1ngues couldn't be made and f1oated
on the scalded milk for the making
of the custard, then lifted carefully
onto wax paper until cuStard is fin

with single strawberry on which

ASHLEY /. TOTEM
PATRIOT. HUMANITARIAN. AND CHAMPION
OF THE COMMON MAN
BY Charles G. Reubel

It is seldom that a great persons biography can be out
lined in a single sentence, yet, the foregoing caption hardly
requires other establishment to accurately portray the lie
Of Ashley I. Totem
Although it can be said that the Virgin Islands have pro-
aduced many great sons, a few of whom are contemporary,
and that a heterogeneous number Of "intellectuals" political
schemers and opportunists have also come from those
beautiful islands that once flourished under the flag Of Den
mark.
And while it may also be said that Virgin Islanders are
a kindly people, christianity in their daily bearing and de-
voted to the practice Of charity, it remains a fact that Ashley
L. Totten occupies a place high among humanitarians; his
generous heart and hand are always prepared to offer COM
fort and aid even where they have been scared by ingrati-
tude.
Then, there are those who will point to the accomplish
ments Of Virgin Islanders who have been heralded as i'm
portant and outstanding personages" among us. Yet the truth
is that their accomplishments have been like the chaff that
wind carried away, and the unholy citadels from which
