She also is active in parent-teacher events at Monon schools, in the Presbyterian Church, and home demonstration work. “I will care for two 5-year-olds whose mothers are working this winter,” she explained. “I have to stay home and care for my little ones so I might as well.” During the summer vacation time, the older girls take over much of the washing, ironing, cooking and cleaning, and also help mow the lawn and feed the chickens. “I feel that any child who is an active, needed participant in the life of his home is much happer than one who is told to go to the neighbors or a park so he will be out of the way,” Mrs. McKinley said.

DEAR HELOISE: One day I rolled out my cookie dough, took a spatula and cut lines across it. I made diamonds, rectangles, squares or whatever came out and the edges looked rather lacy.
