The Aapermont Star
Girl Writes Letter To
Her Father On Hit
73rd Bithday
The following is a letter to R.
AJ. (iholson «n his 73rd birthday
from his 21 year old'daughter Peg^y
(iholson who is with the Engineeis
Division, Edmonton, Canada.
Members of the family requested
the letter to be printed in thc Star.
To my ideal daddy on his birth-
day—Isn't it funny, daddy, that
rJways when one of your Birthdays
conies along it seems that you Set
tounger every year? To me, you,
have a quality of always seeming to
he one of us. I guess that is the re-
sult of your always having treatsJ
me as an equal even when F was so
little and followed you arouu^g the
place. Remember how Polly u'.'- l t°
«ry to go with us and 1 was s« pi^ud
ot myself because T wasuSually ;il-1
lowed to go along? Why I must n"t
have been over four years old at the
time. But you always took the time
to explain things to me when 1 was
so full of questions.
I remember tlie first time I eve,'
went across the lake in a boat - It
was with you. I wanted "To know
what made tlie boat ffp - "why it did
go faster and when weTvcre go-
>ng to get to land again. I remember
that I as a rTttlc bit scared until I
would look back and see you There,
Always you hav5~bcen just about Hie
most solid thing in tlie world.
There was always nothing that da-
oy could not fix. In fact, you have
been my miracle man all my life.
Then I remjsiber when you got
tit by a spider once and you were so
sick I thought you were going to
d'<*. 1 hey put you in a steaming hot
hath all covered with steaming tow-
els and you drank some hard liquor
Ut surely seemed like a lot) and it
cWn't make you drunk. Well, I
thought you were a super man or
something because I thought if a
pet son smelled
things that a person rarely think of
I just fiTuess that about the most
pleasant things in life is the memor-
ies that we carry with us through
the years. Bot anil I used to work
our selves practically to death in)
order to get you to sit dowrlj with us
i;* the evenings late, in front of the
fire and share with us memories
that you had carried with you Irom
the time you were a boy and stories
from the time <ffand dad Gholson
was a little boy. You used to tell the
most marvelous Indian stories. VVe
would sit spell bound for hours with
'•ur little heads just nodding, but
we won I have sat there all night long
1 Kucss if you would have contin-
ued talking. Life was so "'quiet and
peaceful for us, but 1 know that you
must havc had yoUr trials and trib-
ulations.
You know, daddy, one thing about
our childhood that amazes me now

Planning Makes Perfect
Pre-package planning is the key to
prize-worthy lunch box meals. Plan-
ning means more efficient expendi
ture of points, simplified shopping,
thriftier use of food), tastier meals,
better nutrition. Here" are a few
facts that will help y«u plan the
perfect pail:
1. Plan your meals so there will be
leftovers suitable to lunch box
meals.
2. Remember, hard workinff men
need plenty of food to keep them
going. Make servings as large
as though your men were eating
this meal at home.
3. Bear in mfncl the season of the
year in planning menus. Have
something hot and invigorating
in the winter; something cool
and soothing in the summertime.
4. Few factories have a cool place
for keeping workers' lunches.
Don't pack any foods that spoil.
5. Texture and flavor matter more
in lunch box sandwiches than
they do in any other kind of
meal. Include something crisp
for contrast: lettuce, celery,
cabbage, watercress, or other
greens.
G. Hard working men like down-
right honest flavors. Don't send
namby-pamby foods more «n.iitcd
to the girls. Spread condiments
liberally in sandwiches for extra
flavor. Remember ketchup, chili
■sauce, Worcestershire sauce, pre-
pared brown and yellow mus-
tard, 57 sauce, mayonnaise, and
pickles all add punch to pails.
7. Milk 'natters; Send i't along in
the thermos bottle as milk, milk
shakes, or cream soups. Cheese
sandwiches, c u t ! a R e cheese
salads, ^ and^ milk/ 'puddings a'l
s. Use a variety of bre&dj. K pos-
sible, Include two kinds oi br<
in .-very box. H'\v <iark bit.id
in *sa:>' the sandwiches ;nu pack.
If you l«:ke your own -t:v -hat
it's enriched flour you're using.
Only the ;Y;:-hc, t be J be'oni;.;
here. Sandwiches have to stand
long enough before being eaten
as it is: so give them a tender
send-on.
Butter extenders stretch ration
points, have fine flavor, are
popular. Remember honey, jel-
lies, prepared brown and yellow
mustard, peanut butter, mayon-
naise, and apple butter may each
be blended with butter to stretch
a meager portion.
Pickles are popular in lunch box
meals—may be sliced, ground,
chopped, and used with sand-
wich filling, or wrapped whole
and sent along. Here's an item
to make note of: Scientists know
that perspiration removes salt
from workers' bodies, causing
fatigue and lag. Many mills
combat this by feeding salt tab-
lets to men working in hot
places. Genuine dill pickles,
with their high natural salt con-
tent, may help bolster y o u r
worker's salt supply and keep
him in good shape on the job.
Fresh vegetables, wrapped in
waxed paper belong in every
well-planned pail. Easy eating
are: carrot sticks, celery stalks,
cauliflowerlets, green onions,
radishes, green pepper strips,
turnip sticks, cabbage wedges,
cucumber sticks, whole toma-
toes.
Salads are possible, nutritionally
desirable. Mix and pack in lid-
ded paper c u p s or screw-top
glass jars. Dressing wilts greens
on standing, so send separately
in small covered jar. May be
shaken and poured on just be-
fore eating time.
Whole unpeeled fruits pack well,
add taste to workers' meals. Use
fruits in season, follow bargain
specials.
Mixed fruit cups may be sent
along like salads. Sugar spar-
ingly. Too much sugar draws
out juice, leaves fruit limp and
willed.
Dried fruits and nuts make good
mid-meal snacks; are rich in
nutrients, high in energy value.
