Engaging In the world—- " Mom, LOOK!' In surprise, I scurried into die dining room to see what had caught die eye of my eldest Since moving to Fort
Wayne, he frequently notices tnmgs that are different around our house upon his return here. But the tone of his voice now indicated something unexpected was up. Crossing the middle of our back yard
was a momma Mallard duck followed by 10 fuzzy ducklings. And they weren't moving slowly, either. Momma obviously had places to go and people (or other ducks) to see. Hie fuzzy flock hustled to keep up. Grabbing his camera he somehow captured the entire jaunt "Where’d they come from?" I asked. We live in an area without any pond nearby. Although sometimes there is standing water in the back lot, currently there was none to be seen. "I don't know, but where are they headed?" was the next question. Momma Duck made a beeline for tire neighbor's chain link fence. Only briefly did she and then found the right spot where she could slip under the fence with full entourage in tow. As they slipped from our view, a smiles reflected my thoughts. It is truly amazing sometimes how God blesses us with unanticipated moments in our daily routine. Pausing to enjoy the ducks mid-afternoon with my son lifted my spirits. Engaging with the world around me, I am truly amazed at the interesting ways God provides newness and delight. I recently visited a friend who routinely feeds the swans that swim on tire lake nearby her home. I was fortunate to view two parents and their three cygnets. The fuzzy little ones were learning ways to interact as their parents carefully watched. What an interesting sight! Thank you, God for providing unlimited opportunities for us to pause in wonderment in the midst of our daily lives. By Margaret England-Neff 120 Years Ago— June 18,1890 A car containing local freight on the siding was broken into last Sunday night and a quantity of goods stolen, most being shipped to W. Balyear, grocer. Value of goods was approximately $9. Among the stolen goods was one case of plug tobacco and a lot of lemons. 100 Years Ago June 15,1910 Pickpockets obtained no less than SBO following the adjournment of tire Dunkard Conference at Winona Lake. Many of the thefts were not discovered until tire victims had left Warsaw. S. Kirk of Odessa, Michigan lost S4O; A 1 Polk of Woodlawn, Michigan and John Mower of Bunker Hill had their pockets picked of S2O each. 75 Years Ago —June 20,1935 A lease was signed this week between Warren Waller, proprietor of Walters Bowling Alley and Frank Reed, whereby the second floor of the garage building will become the new home of the recreation hall after remodeling. When bowling season opens this fall Nappanee should have one of the finest places for lovers of this sport to be found in Indiana. 50 Years Ago June 16,1960 Jim Stouder, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Stouder, Route 1, Nappanee was signed to a bonus contract by the Philadelphia Phillies Sunday, the bonus being one of the largest given this year. He will report to Johnson City, Tennessee on June 10.

Getting ready for summer
The year is going by Out and summer is right around the corner. With the temperature continuing to warm up, there are certainly some things you may want to put on your to-do list for your yard and garden. Perhaps what you planned to plant is planted and your lawn has started receiving its “haircuts.” Your entire yard will need special care in the summer months to stay healthy. When conditions get hot and dry, water your trees, shrubs, garden and lawn with 1 to 1-1/2 inches erf water a week. Watering deeply in one session promotes deeper root growth, which can greatly improve die condition of your yard. Also keep in mind that it is the weed that enjoys frequent, shallow watering. Deeply watered plants and grass have a better chance of out-com-
Keeping dairy foods safe
Milk may not be your favorite food but it is one of mine, especially when poured over strawberries, drank with warm cookies or chocolate is added to it. Milk is recognized as one of mankind's oldest and most essential foods. Prehistoric drawings from the Sahara of 800 B.C. feature dairy cattle but they sure don't look like today's modem cows. In different parts of the world milk from various species of animals is used for food. Worldwide more people drink goat's milk rather than cow's. In the United States, however, the cow furnishes virtually all of the available market milk. Food safety plays a large role in the modem milk dairy and in the grocery stores. Quality milk is important to you as it relates to the chemical, microbiological, physical and safety of the milk. Quality milk is handled under rigid sanitary conditions resulting in low bacterial count, good flavor and appearance, satisfactory keeping quality, high nutritive value and freedom horn disease producing organisms. Milk is among the most perishable of all foods due to its excellent nutritive composition and its fluid form. As the milk comes from the cow, it provides an ideal medium for bacterial growth. It may undergo many flavor changes unless constantly protected against contamination and adverse environ-

It can come in many different materials such as bark chips, grass clippings, and straw. Mulch also helps to hold in moisture that could otherwise be lost due to hot weather. If you decide to pull weeds by hand, it is best to do this while they are small. Be sure to get the entire root out of the ground. This is

Food & Nutrition
Elkhart County By Mary Ann Lienhart-Cross Exienson Educator, Consumer Famiy Sccnce mental conditions. Milk is relied upon as an important source of many nutrients necessary for proper development and maintenance of the human body. Protecting the quality of milk is a responsibility shared by the dairy industry, public health officials, the processor, grocery store and you the consumer. Progress in dairy technology and public health has resulted in milk that can be depended upon as a safe, nutritious, pleasing food even though it may be produced hundreds of thousands of miles away from the point of consumption. You have the responsibility for protecting the quality of milk you buy and for storing it in your home. Proper handling and product dating of dairy products are designed to assure consumers of dairy products with a good shelf life, which is the length of time after processing that the product will retain its quality. The inclusion of a date on milk containers also indicates when they

should be withdrawn from retail sale and information for you to use. It is used by the industry to reflect the age of packages. It does not indicate the shelf life of products. GenerdfTy, depending upon storage conditions and care in the home, a product will remain fresh and usable for several days beyond this "pull date." • Dairy products are highly perishable; therefore, it is recommended that you observe the following practices to preserve quality and keep the food safe. When it comes to fresh fluid milk, make sure to keep it in the body of the refrigerator, as opposed to the door of the refrigerator, as this is the coldest place. Also make sure to keep containers closed to prevent absorption of other food flavors in the refrigerator. An absorbed flavor alters the taste but the milk is still safe. When you bring new milk home from the store, place it in the back of the refrigerator behind any open containers. Once you have poured a glass of milk, make sure to put the milk back in the refrigerator. The milk won't spoil right away but sitting at room temperature will shorten the shelf life. Remember, most people prefer milk really cold. This is a good way to preserve the safety and quality of your dairy products.
