Local poetry contest winners named

Another observance of the Bi-centennial of America by the extension homemakers was a poetry contest according to Betty Sendmeyer, extension home economist. The poems could be on any topic and of any length. Locally there were eleven entries and selected to represent Putnam County Homemakers Clubs at the District Association of Homemaker Clubs were the poems of Betty Aker and Joyce Hanlon of Greencastle and Claire Winings of Roachdale. The poetry contest was judged by Mrs. Charlotte Peterson of the Greencastle High School faculty. Following are the winning poems: That’s What America Means To Me A flag, parades, and a country fair A sports event, we’ll see you there The right of everyone to live free That’s what America means to me A farmer working long after dark In church a candle shows a tiny spark Hills and valleys and tall oak tree That’s what America means to me Bulldozers and cranes knock a tall building down An architect dreams of remodeling the town A show, lunch out, and a shopping spree That’s what America means to me Doctors and nurses doing their very best Students study hard to pass a history test The right to be ALL what we can be That’s what America means to me Welders and carpenters make a new building rise Our congressman, God help him and make him wise The White House and the Statue of Liberty That’s what America means to me Oceans, rivers, mountains and springs A hillside bright with blooming things Children singing “My country tis of thee” That’s what America means to me Ministers praying for guidance today Neighbors who will help you in any way Sympathy, love and a hot cup of tea That’s what America means to me Sunrise or sunset, the smile of a friend A flag flying high in the brisk March wind Sand on the shore, the waves from the sea That’s what America means to me Rockets blast off, next stop the moon Heads bow before God at a wedding in June An eagle soars proudly for all to see That’s what America means to me Freedom to work, to worship, to play Makes this our country in every way The greatest country that will ever be And that’s what America is to me -Claire Winings When Mother Is Away “Home is where the heart is,”

Or so the poets say. But home is such an empty place, When Mother is away. For a home without a mother Is as the sky without the sun; A vast expanse of nothingnessA race that’s never run. No one to share the problems, Or hear the bedtime prayers, Or lend an ear to growing pains, And saying that she cares. No one to share the fireside On a rainy Saturday. Home is such a lonely place, When Mother is away. No one to bake warm cookies For a taste-treat after school, Or apple pie or hot yeast rolls, And things that make mouths drool. No one to fix warm breakfasts With tender loving care. And home is such a hungry place, When Mother isn’t there. No one to do the dishes, Or wash the towels and sox, Or clean the floors and make the beds, Or dust or wind the clocks. No one to polish furuniture, Or tidy up each day. Home is such a dirty place, When Mother is away. There’s no one singing in the bath, Or rattling pots and pans, No voice reminding little ones To wash their dirty hands. No one giving lectures, (And we thought we wouldn’t care!) But home is such a quiet place, When Mother isn’t there. No one can fill the special place A mother always fills, To straighten ties and kiss the tears, And cure the little ills. And day by day as years go by, We’ll curse the ERA For home is such an empy place, When Mother is away. -Joyce A. Hanlon The following is a selection from “Putnam County, Indiana.” Indian Habitation Swift brown feet trod the paths here, Narrow paths throughout the forest To the springs, the cool sweet water Found in the Highlands known as Hoosier, Near the heights, they call Fern Cliff. Tribes of Miami, Potawatami and Eel River Near the game food, Near the streams with fishes flashing; Made their tools, sharpened their axes, chipped the flint into arrows pointed; Formed the stone into weights of bird shapes Bound for flight from rawhide bow strings;

boiling water. The correct amount is therefore measured and the serving can be neatly placed on each plate when cooked. H. Walpole “H” must stand for “honey,” cuz that’s what you are. I have used those egg substitues for some time and wanted to poach them, but I guess I just didn’t use my grey matter well enough. I put a few drops of yellow food coloring in the center and stirred a bit. This helps trick my eyes into telling my stomach that a real egg is on the way. If you don’t like poached eggs, try putting the egg substitute in a muffin tin that has been greased or sprayed with a

nonstick vegetable spray. Fill it about half way full. Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Folks, I really got carried away using this and I discovered a way to make a “mock” souffle. All I did was beat the liquid for a few seconds, pour in a well-greased baking dish and add some grated cheese. When I put the cheese in, I sprinkled it around and then slightly stirred it so the cheese was not on the top. Pop it in the oven for 20 minutes or so at 350 degrees. The time will vary depending on how much you use. I used one carton, and it took about 30 minutes to cook. You can tell because the center will not wiggle when it’s done. It is absolutely amazing! It tastes so good! And it is so easy to do and works beautifully. I didn’t add any spices, but you sure could spice it up the way your family likes. I am going to always keep some on hand for emergencies. How simple to whip up a lovely souffle on a short notice. You sure could fool some people! Heloise

Dear Abby She shouldn't defer to his demands DEAR ABBY: This is to comment on the letter written by the “desperate wife” who inherited the care of her husband’s brain-damaged, adult brother when the mother passed away. The desperation of the wife is understandable, for the brother had to be cared for as a baby (since he was at the idiot level) and was often violent. You suggested that she find someone who could get through to her husband and convince him that he must not force his wife to care for his brother simply because he (the husband) had made the death-bed promise to the mother that the brother would never be sent to an institution. Your counsel was good, Abby, but you didn’t go far enough. It is likely that anyone so stupid and unfeeling as this husband wouldn’t even listen to the counsel of someone else. What then? I believe it would be in order to suggest an alternative to this harrassed wife: If the husband refuses, she should just say: “Listen, buddy, I’ve had it. I’m giving you just one week to put this man in a home for such unfortunates, or I’m walking out on you, and I mean it!” She must really mean it, and do it, if necessary—no matter where she has to go. For the alternative would be her continuing and complete demoralization and dehumanization, and the rewarding of the impossible husband for his despicable demands. Should you regard this letter as the rantings of a heartless man who has had no experience in counseling, be assured I am not, as I am a clergyman. j (REV.) C.W. KIRKPATRICK UNION CHURCH OF CHRIST: LUDLOW, MASS. DEAR REVEREND KIRKPATRICK: Thank you for expanding on my answer and thereby improving it. DEAR ABBY: I am an divorced woman with a problem I hope you can help me with. There’s a clown who works where I do who always greets me with: “Hi, how’s your sex life?” I never know whether to say: “Better than ever,” or, “It’s non-existent right now.” This morning when he asked me, I replied: “Fine. How’s your gall bladder?” That shut him up. Got a better answer? ME IN DESERT HOT SPRINGS DEAR ME: Anything that shuts him up will do. Entry scene part of Good News
