Hints For Her
Picnic Fixin's by Armour and Co.

Picnic Fixin's by Armour and Co.
With picnic season here again.
thoughts turn to packed lunches
taken to the park, cook-outs over
open fires and back yard or porch
suppers.
With picnics contributing a major
share of summer fun, they should
be enjoyable to everyone including
the cook. Armour and Company's
Marie Clifford kitchen says keep
the food simple" It's the most i'm
portant part of the picnic, true,
but no picnic is fun if you've had
to spend half day getting ready
for il.
Plan your picnic around one or
two substantial, stick-t -the-ribs
dishes that need only the addition
of crisp relishes, perhaps a bit of
something sweet and your favorite
beverage to round out the meal.
For maximum of eating from
a minimum of preparation, try
these Armour and Company sug-
gestions.
For a crowd, what better choice
than a whole baked ham, to be
sliced as needed and served with
old fashioned potato salad and rye
bread? When the picnickers are
fewer in number, treat them to
crispy fried chicken piled in a bas-
ket, then served with buttered rolls
and assorted relishes in individual
baskets
You can cut down on preparation
almost completely by letting every
one turn fireside chef and make
his own Beef Kebabs, cubes of ten
der beef sirloin alternated with
vegetables, such as tomatoes, green

purely physical necessities OF
everyday life. Pressure of public
opinion usually forces a man or
woman TO provide food and shell
ter for his or her parents. Only
too often. however that spiritual
quality known as Love" is abb
sent. 1t seems hard to believe that
any person could become so en-.
crossed in his own selfish pursuit
Of life that be could forget those
who brought him into the world.
Mans ego is a mysterious thing
though. Unless tempered with the
teachings of philosophy. especially
metaphysics, it viii often turn him
into a ruthless tyrant who lives
only for himself.
Before we wander too far afield
and in order to bring the entire
subject back to Key West, let's pay
"a compliment to the folks of Gu
ban descent here in town. They
seem to enjoy a special kind of
family loyalty and it is seldom
that you ever hear of neglect on
the part of parents or on the part
of children. That old saying,
Blood is thicker than water, :"
seems to apply especially to Latin
people.
Unlicensed Dogs
1t is fine to hear that the HUI
name Society is using pressure to
eliminate the nuisance of dogs
roaming the streets. That most of
these dogs are unlicensed is ma
tural. An owner who doesn't care
any more for his pet than TO allow
it to wander around in heavy auto
mobile traffic could hardly be ex-
pected to be willing to spend the
money necessary for a license tag.
Most people like animals - es-
pecially dogs. However, there is
a limit to everything. No matter
how much you care for a dog, you
don't want your child's life endan-
gered by some stray mongrel. 1t

Salvation Army
The Salvation Army will resume
work here in Key West through the
efforts of 1t. Henry Russell. This
religious organization that does so
much charitable work is one of the
finest of its kind and we wish it
success here on the Island.

This Rock
Of Ours
By Bill Glib

We have a letter which deals
with the sad subject OF adult Off
spring neglecting their aged and
ailing parents. This Rock was
asked to comment on the barbar-
Gus selfishness OF such an act.
Bill" says the letter, don't
you think children who neglect
aged parents should be dealt with
the same as parents are who neg
lect their children:
That's rough question to ans
wer because it involves all the
deeper aspects of everyday life
ethics, sociology, psychiatry, etc.
II would be impossible to ever
have any type of legal control
which would force a child TO take
care OF his parents. Even the laws
which require parents to care for
minor children are only too often
a failure as you can seen by look
ing at any daily newspaper.
1t seems to me that the answer
to such a problem lies within our
churches and schools especially
the churches. There is no religion
to my knowledge, whether it be
Jewish. Mohammedan-
ism, or any other, that doesn't
stress the rule; Honor thy father
and mother" Most assuredly we
cannot live up to this rule if we
allow parents to suffer for the ply
steal necessities of life.
Here in Key West, as in any
other town in the world, We have
cases of aged parents being allow
ed TO gradually starve to death.

tually murdered by the callous
treatment they received from chill

Fortunately, a parents love never

they may be showed around by

some excuse TO blind themselves
10 this i'll treatment.

parents must necessarily EN-
