LOUISA’S LETTER
Dear Louisa, My husband died when I was rather young and left me with four small children to support. I was a college graduate so 1 got a job and hired a housekeeper and got along very well for four years when I married the superintendent of my school. All of the children were married ten years later when he was offered a better job and we moved to another city. 1 have made many friends here and like it very much. Now my problem is this. My husband died several months ago and all of my children, who live in the place where they grew up, want me to move back to this former town, so that 1 will be close to the family. All four of my children have young children of their own and are very social minded so 1 am afraid I would end my days as a baby sitter if 1 went back. 1 love my grand

Indications of spring
By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN Extension Agent Tulips get the credit as a sure sign of spring, but rhubarb is just as certain an indication. When this pink ribbed plant with the frillaro under the edges is in the market, it’s a sure sign of spring. Rhubarb, often called pieplant, is an herbaceous perennial. The edible portion of the plant is the large tender leaf stalk. The leaves of the rhubarb plant contain oxalic acid and therefore are not edible, either raw or cooked. There’s been much confusion in regards to classifying rhubarb as a fruit or vegetable. Actually, rhubarb is a vegetable and is the only vegetable that replaces fruit in our diets. Its primary use is in dishes such as pies and tarts. It is relatively high in calcium and Vitamin A, so nutritionally speaking it’s a good buy. When selecting rhubarb, look for firm, crisp, fairly thick stalks that are either red or pink in color, depending on the variety. Avoid flabby stalks. Fresh rhubarb should be refrigerated and used within three to five days for optimum quality. When preparing wash and trim discolored ends; cut off and discard any leaves. For those who want that nippy rhubarb flavor to add to winter months, rhubarb is easily canned or frozen. To can, select young tender stalks. Trim, wash and cut into half inch lengths. Young stalks should not be peeled. The skin gives the blush pink color that is so appetizing and it holds the pieces in shape so they do not ! IvFrTtts s I RESTAURANT | 319 S.

children but I am also interested in many projects and 1 like concerts and plays. 1 would love to be near the children but I would have to give up my good friends, the church and clubs here that 1 love. What am I to do about this? Mother-Ind. Answer: Delay making a decision for a while. It may be that after a time you will find life very different where you are, lack 4 ing a husband. And bear in mind, that if you get sick or need help of any kind it is wonderful to have the family to call on. If you do decide to go back to your first home, let your children know that you will baby-sit in an emergency but will not be on call. Louisa. Address letters: Louisa. Box 532, Orangeburg, S.C. 29115

cook down to mush. Add one-half cup sugar to each quart of rhubarb and let it stand to draw out the juice. Then bring it to a boil, pack hot, and cover with hot juice. Process pint and quart jars 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath. To freeze rhubarb, pick young tender stalks that are firm, wellcolored with good flavor and few fibers. Wash, trim and cut into one or two inch pieces. Do not peel. Heat rhubarb in boiling water for one minute and cool promptly in cold water helps retain color and flavor. It can be frozen with or without sugar
