More m Better RhubdrbS
Promises Local ETpert

Fresh rhubarb pies and sauce
are inexpensive springtime deli
cacies, says Virginia McLuckie,
food economist, University of
Maryland Extension Service. 1t
is also one of the easiest foods
to put into the home freezer.
Maryland furnishes the major
part of our large supply of rhu-
barb in the peak months of May
and June, and this years supply
is expected to be better than last.
Pink to rosy-red is the color to
look for when choosing fresh
rhubarb. Small to medium-sized
stalks are the tenderest and the
wise shopper avoids all stalks
that appear wilted.

Mrs hua Bell
Eetaag Farewell
OfH0memakeyg

~ A measure of the feeling that
the Montgomery Homemakers
have for Mrs. Irna Bells five
years service as assistant home
demonstration agent was ex-
pressed last Wednesday when 125
members came through the pour
ing rain to say goodbye to Mrs.
Bell at the tea given in her honor
by the Homemakers Clubs at
Parklawn.
A tangible expression of this
feeling was presented Mrs. Bel
by Mrs. Harrison King, president
of the Homemakers Council, and
included an orchid corsage for the
occasion, a beautiful, engraved sill
yer dish, and an impressive money
donation from all the county's
clubs.
Except for her regret at leav.
ing her many friends in the coun-
ty, Mrs. Bell is looking forward
to returning to her native Hi
nois in July when her husband
becomes Director of Admissions
at Sinner College, Mt. Carroll,
III.
For the past year, Mrs. Bell
and her 11-year-old son, Franklin.
have been separated a good deal
from Mr.. Bell who has been work
ing in New York, and she will be
delighted to get ''her family back
under one roof"
The assistant home demonstra-
ton agent began her county ca
reer in 1852 working with the All
clubs. In the fall of SO she be-
came active in the home demon
stration office working chiefly in
foods and nutrition, home fur
nishings and family life.
Following her bachelors degree
in home economics at the Univer-
sity of Illinois, Mrs. Bell taught
for a time at Arcola, Ill, and be
fore coming to the county, she
had served as nutritionist in the
District for the Service to Chill
dren of Working Mothers.
Co-chanrman In charge of the
Homemakers tea were Mrs. NV
ron Dieffenderfer, Four Corners,
and Mrs. Bernard Smith, also of
Four Corners. Assistants were
Mrs, Richard Killmier, Glenmar;
Mrs. H. Kirst, Bethesda; Mrs. c.
B. Meyer, Wheaton; Mrs. ]. Rex

Local ''Straws" Break
Into Fresh Market Now

Local strawberries are here
earlier this year because of the
warmer spring weather and more
are expected on the fresh market
because frozen supplies from last
year are still heavy.
When you buy, choose bright,
fresh, clean strawberries with a
full solid red color, bright green
caps attached, and no moisture,
dirt, or decay spots.
Make strawberries your last
purchase at the store, says Vir-
ginia McLuckie, food economist,
University of Maryland. Refrig-
crate Immediately, and don't wash
and prepare until just before

of euphemisms for the term "old
connotation. Like Miss Lucy"
we prefer to think of them as
young in heart"
Our favorlte is Senior citizens"
which carries an opposite como
tation of continued and active
responsibility. "Elder-agersD can
be used as the opposite of "teen-
ayers and in place of 'old folks
homes" there is a much pleas
anter picture conveyed by homes
for the retired or retirement
centers."
You may think this is a lot of
fuss over words. Actually it is a
change in the attitudes behind
the words which is the real con-
Germ of the committees on aging
around the country.
June has been designated Sen
ior Citizens month to promote
public awareness and particlpa-
ton in the ever-increasing activ-
tiles concerned with our older
citizens.
1t would be nice to think that
this increase was the result of
change in sentiment. Realistical-
ly, it is caused by simple statis-
tics which show an increase in
the ratio of people over retire
ment age in the country each
year.
More and more of us are get
ting older and older every minute
and more of us are sticking
around every year. That's what
it boils down to, putting it
frankly.
What was once a minority of
individuals is fast becoming or
ganized. In Montgomery, for in
stance, in the past five years, we
have seen nine Senior Citizens
groups started and growing with
new ones being added each year.
With organization comes the
power of the united and the voice
of the senior citizen Is going to
be heard In the land, believe me.
What will this voice demand?
To answer that, just ask yourself
what it is that you look forward
to when you retire.
Isn't it simply to retain your
independence; to have the com
partnership of your contempt
raries; and to remain active in
your community to the extent
which your health and desires
permit?
The primary solution, accord
ing to Mayor Hovespian and Mrs.
Barnsley, who are much more
advanced students in geriatrics
than /, is adequate housing.
BY adequate housing they do
not mean increasing the number
of nursing homes or "old folks
homes" as we know them but
something entirely different.
Although it is new to this coun-
ty, examples of what the Mayor
and Miss Lucy are advocating
can be found all over the county.
In the June Ladies Home Jour
nal is an article on the two ex-
tremes of what can be done in
the way of retirement homes.
One is extremely "posh," the
White Sands project of La Jolla,
California, sponsored by the
Southern California Presbyterian
Homes Corporation.
This "glamorous, many
balconied building on the edge of
the ocean, opened last July with
luxurious Accommodations and
complete medical care for some
200 residents" It's an example
of what can be done when money
is no object.
At the other end, is the low
cost housing unit at Carey Court,
Wal h m, Massachusetts, the
first of the states new housing

don and Chesterland townships.
The first stop made by the fruit
growers was at the Jay and Al

The SageS have just complet-

their barn. A majority of the
fruit that they produce is sold

sales room and storage tn
fruit growers toured the rochard.

chards on Wilson M ills and
Caves Roads were visited next
by the group. At the Eddy fruit
farm the fruit growers saw part
of the 25 acres of Pear Orch
ard. An excellent crop of pears
will be harvested this fall.
The families of fruit growers
really enjoyed the picnic n d
facilities at the N. c. Patter-
son and Son storage on Caves
Road just north of Mulberry
road. This excellent fruit stor-
age was newly constructed last
year and according to the Pat
tersons served its purposes well
