XXVII AUGUST, 1936 NO. 12 Т" HE excitement caused by Dr. Townsend and his old-age pension plan has made us all think more of the future and it has brought vividly before us many aspects of the problem of old age. Specifically it has, without question, caused nearly all of us to face it as a personal prob- lem. Perhaps more than has any other political or philosophical question, this plan of Dr. Townsend's has been thought of by nearly everyone in terms of himself. We have for once grasped the import of the direct and immediate personal application of this particular plan rather than considered it remote and indefinite, which one is apt to do with most public questions. Quite aside from the money aspect this may well have been a good thing. Certainly if it has in any way helped us all to see that public affairs and national problems do have a personal bearing on each and every one of us, it may well be worth the cost even of the disappointment we may later encounter at not being able to actually spend the two hundred dollars as immediately and as simply as some would like to have us believe. But our thoughts this lovely summer month are not of finances and we can't at the moment get really excited over the prospect even of a pension, fine as it will be to some day be rid of our anxiety for economic security after we have reached a ripe age. Rather our thoughts have turned to another aspect of old age-our fitness, quite aside from the economic phase, to enjoy the years after we are too old for active work. Certainly we shall need reasonable good health and the inner resources for self entertainment if we are really to enjoy ourselves. Self entertainment. What a lot can be implied in that thought! We know for a certainty that with the passing years we shall be more and more alone in the world. Alone, because our friends, our families, our contemporaries will be dropping out one by one. If we are wise we shall not expect the new generation to have tastes similar to ours and the same thoughts. No, try as we will, we are bound to be thrown more and more onto our own resources and from the very nature of things these must be largely inner resources. Is this a discouraging thought? Far from it. With a proper store of inner resources the declining years can be and often are the best time of one's life. And these inner resources are far more important in some respects than financial resources. In the first place, with a low reserve of spiritual treasure, one will be hard put to get pleasure out of money, which is to say, the spiritual treasure comes first. In the second place, if we have this first thing the second is much less likely to plague us. The scriptural injunction "take no thought for the morrow" will really apply if people like to have us around. And if people do not want us around, it is surely because we have not a sufficient store of that most precious of all wealth, spiritual treasure. If folks really like to have us around, shelter ceases to be a problem. It is never too soon to begin piling up reserves. To be successful, one must have an open mind, a broad toleration of others' beliefs and behavior. One can always say to himself, "Supposing they are right after all and I am wrong." That will be a big help. With an open mind comes honest curiosity to explos and plumb the depths of things hitherto unnoticed. Thus and thus only w our store steadily increase. It is because we fail to keep abreast of new thoughts and new interests th the younger people find us boring. If added to this, we are crabbed, ov critical and, in general, nuisances then whose fault is it? Yes, inner resources are what we must have first, Townsend plans or plans It is just as imperative to start our store early and feed it continu as it is to heap up money credits and, come ripe old age, as actual tender far more valuable! ----------- 2 ----------- 1936 EASY ΤΟ MAKE No. 56-8-17 No. 36-8-16 is a white cushion with a giant Mue cornflower and matching back and binding.

Perhaps it is the orange juice that does it. Anyway they came, cooked and conquered. Mrs. Haynsworth brought her nine months old baby with her and they both came off the plane smiling. Mrs. Moore, of California, won first prize on her simple, well-seasoned pot roast din- ner and Mrs. Haynsworth cooked a steak menu for a stag dinner of six First Prize Menu (From California) Hors d'oeuvres Tomato juice Pot roast with egg noodles Escalloped tomatoes Frozen fruit salad Pumpkin goody The hors d'oeuvres were original, well balanced and in fine contrast to the roast to come. First came crushed pine- apple, drained well, mixed with a third as much chopped canned crabmeat, blended with mayonnaise and used to stuff celery stalks. The drained pineapple juice was added to the ten ounce can of tomato juice with the juice of one lemon making a delicious blend. Then, to glorify the vitamins and provide iron, even in a frivolous course, two cups of tender, young spinach leaves (the centers probably) were chopped and moistened with mayonnaise and spread on saltine crackers. On this was placed a square of canned meat, one by one and a half inches - a well known brand of veal was used but other meats would be good. This was sprinkled with paprika, and a dent made in the center was filled with a half teaspoon of jelly. The total cost of these canned foods - to serve four, was fifty-two cents. Now remember this woman lives on a ranch. I have had folks tell me that farm and small town women didn't want fancy or canned foods. These hors d'oeuvres were news to me and I have just written a book on the subject! Three cheers for the ranch that boasts a flying field and hors d'oeuvres! A Five Hundred Dollar Pot Roast For less than fifty cents 2 tablespoons beef 2 onions (medium) ½ pound egg noodles drippings 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons cream. 2 egg yolks 2 pounds beef 2 tablespoons vinegar 1 bay leaf 4 carrots (small) 2 teaspoon salt Melt dripping in Dutch oven (or heavy iron kettle) and when sizzling hot add roast spread with vinegar and sear well on all sides. Add crushed bay leaf, sliced onions and carrots and set over simmer burner (low flame). Cook very slowly till tender (one and one-half to two hours) and add salt to taste when finished. Boil egg noodles about ten minutes, drain, add cream and butter, scramble in the egg yolks, add salt. Serve at once around the roast with vegetables. Even the string beans were lifted out of the ordinary by being slowly heated with a tablespoon of butter, a clove of minced garlic, and half a teaspoon of salt.

Suppose we make out our cosmetic list right now, starting with essentials and adding such items as we feel we need, depending on what we're going to do. It's always possible, of course, to pur- chase as you go, but it's a lot more con- venient to have everything you need right with you. ya lo orgel a FIRST IRST of all we need a facial cleanser soap, cream or liquid according to your taste. It's a wise idea tuck in a cake of soap whether or no. Personally I detest the little cakes usually supplied in hotels. When I wash my face I want a good sized cake that I can get a grip on, and as to baths I just like to wallow in lather. So get yourself one of those little bags with waterproof linings in which you can put not only soap but a complexion brush with a wash cloth, if you like. Don't forget your tooth brush either, not to mention tooth paste or powder. There's nothing more maddening than to arrive at your destination tired and dusty only to find that you left tooth brush and dentifrice home on the dresser. In fact, I always take two brushes along. So often they don't have time to dry out thoroughly, in which case an extra dry godsend. going to do ----------- 8 ----------- "Bunny" Sunsuit No. 35-7-28N.
