announced this week that
Ray Hunt of Dillon, Mon-
tana will conduct a green-

ship clinic at the new

Texas Fairgrounds in
Abilene January 16-20.
The greenbreaking
classes will be limited to
12 students with their
horses. Tne horsemanship
class will be limited to 20,
with 10 allowed in the cut-
ting class.
"Ray's clinics have
drawn national and inter
national attention and ac
claim," said Mrs. Green.
"He conducts over 40 such
clinics a year in the
western United States,
Hawaii, Australia, and
New Zealand.
"Ray teaches horsemen
and women how to get a
horse's attention and then
control the horse's mind
and body so that the
horse and rider work in
harmony rather than in
conflict and confronta
tion," she continued.
Fees for the clinic are
$250 for greenbreaking,
$200 for horsemanship,
and $300 for cutting, plus
a cattle charge of approxi
niately $50.

for all participants.
Twenty-five paid depo-
sits of $50 are needed to
assure the clinic and class-
es will be filled on a first-
come basis.
Deposits should be
made payable to Ray
Hunt and must be re-
ceived by January 6.

posits will receive an ad

Pharmacy
potent, effective,
and natural
Congestive heart failure is a condition in
which the heart fails to pump a sufficient
amount of blood through the body Symptoms of
heart failure typically include difficult breathing
and lack of energy. Signs include swelling of the
feet and legs as well as the need to pass urine
several times during the night after bedtime.
Heart failure is usually treated with two major
types of medicines, the diuretics and digitalis.
Diuretics, also known as "water pills", help
remove excess fluid from the body. The workload
on the heart is thus reduced. Digitalis improves
the performance of the heart (the heart pumps
more blood with each beat).
Medicines made from digitalis are potent,
effective, and natural. Only 1/10 to 3/10
milligram of a purified digitalis glycoside is
normally needed once daily. This makes
digitalis one of the most potent of all medicines
When digitalis is administered to individuals
suffering with heart failure, relief of symptoms
usually occurs quickly. In many instances,
symptoms and signs of heart failure disappear
entirely. This makes digitalis one of the most
effective of all medicines. And the medicine is ,
extracted from the foxglove plant, making
digitalis a natural drug product.

baling wire & memories
By Audrey Parker Brooks
This is the time of the
year when we find our
selves racing madly from
one task to another. For
the housekeeper —male
or female —many of these
tasks are kitchen orien
ted. This being the case
we gaze benignly upon
the electric appliances
that will hasten the jobs.
Of course the electric
mixer is an absolute
necessity, but I seem to
save more time and
energy with the food pro
cessor than any other
appliance I own.
How well I rememtjer
— I should, it was just last
year the trouble and
mess of rolling graham
crackers into crumbs. The
crackers were placed he
tween sheets of waxed
paper and crushed with a
rolling pin. No matter
how carefully I rolled
the pin, not me 1 always
ended up with cracker
crumbs all over the
cabinet top. Not to men
tion those that spilled
onto the floor.
down on a small curved
grater. It's the only one
I've ever seen and to be
perfectly truthful I
wouldn't have known
what it was used for if
A u d r a Bel Churchill
hadn't identified it when
she placed it in the
museum. It was probably
used by her mother, the
late Mrs. Will Brewster.
Our ancestors had no
. such conveniences to
hasten the kitchen duties.
They did have a few
things that sort of helped
out. In the Moran His
toriral Museum are
several examples of
pioneer kitchen gadgetry.
There is a nut grinder
of tin and cast iron made
by Lorraine Metal Mfg.
Co.. N.Y., S.S.A. It re
sembles a miniature meat
grinder. The grinding
part made of trn is attach
ed to the iron frame, once
painted green. The little
implement has a set
screw for attaching it to a
table, or some such sur-
face, while grinding nuts.
The Artie Ice Shave
No. 33 made by Grey Iron
casting Co., Mount Joy,
Pa. U.S.A. was used to
shave ice from 50 and 100
pound blocks long before
the advent of ice dispens
ing electric refrigerators,
This ice shaver is in the
museum. Made of tinned,
cast iron, the apparatus
has a blade that scraped
ice as it was pushed over
the block. In appearance
it resembles a small ver
sion of an old time wood
plane.
Here we have a nutmeg
grater. Nutmeg isn't
hatched in grated form
and placed in shaker
boxes. Far from it.
Nutmeg is the kernel of a
tropical fruit. Long ago
the spice was sold in the
kernel requiring the in
vention of nutmeg
graters. The one in the
museum is an odd looking
little gadget. It has a
small spring device that
held the nutmeg kernel as
it was pushed up and
' Now here is another
grater. It's an entirely dif
ferent kind and not as old
as the nutmeg grater.
This is a more common
type. Cheese was grated
on this one. And soap. At
least it was put out by a
soap company. Embossed
on the tinned gadget are
the words,"Use Fels Nap
tha Soap." Remember
Fels Naptha'.' This grater
was intended to be used
in making soap flakes out
of a bar of Fels Naptha.
The first boxed soap
predating detergents
was in flake form.
This is a wire egg
beater, courtesy of the
museum. Klectrie beaters
hadn't been thought
about when this wire
whisk was used. I can
remember my mother
beating egg whites with
an oval shaped beater
with cross bar wires. This
one is interlaced with
wires resembling those in
old time electric heating
elements.
Another niu.seum
beater is angled with
heavier "wire" and em
bossing that says "Beats
eggs, cream, batter, tec."
If this thing handled bat
ter, it was a mighty thin
mixture.
Now we come to some
of the old gadgets that
were give a ways by com-
panies or local dealers. A
narrow spatula with a bot
tie opener at the end of
the handle was passed out
by Fd S. Hughes Hard
ware, Abilene, Texas.
A somewhat rusty
item, resembling a han
died measuring cup, is
embossed "Gladiola.'That
would have been a gitt
from the Morrison Milling
Co., makers of Gladiola
flour, and what it did was
separate the white and
yolk of an egg. The egg
yolk remained in the cup
ped center and the white
slipped through openings
around it.
An old bent spoon has
this embossed advice,
"Coffee satisfaction is
assured by A & P Coffee
Service." It's been a while
since an A & P Grocery
was in the area but the
store did sell good coffee.
There were three grades,
packed unground in color
ful paper bags. Whatever
grade was selected, it was
ground as the buyer
checked out. And the
buyer selected the
grind percolaier, drip,
or whatever. I'm sure the
aroma of freshly ground
coffee has lured many
customers into A & 1'
stores. I wonder if the
stores •still offer that ser
vice?
In the museum colJee
tion is an ex c e 11 e n t
pincers type lemon
squeezer. This gadget is
in excellent condition and
could probably squeeze
any lemon for all it is
worth. I'm guessing it was
used commercially
because one handle is em
bossed "Sunkist" and the
ot her says "Lemons."
In my collection of
Depression glass are two
g r e e n glass lemon
reamers. Both are fairly
small. 1 have a third one
made of light green
custard type glass em
bossed "Sunkist:" It is
large and most likely was
used by a drug store or
ca fe.
In the days of frozen
fruit juices, who needs
lemon squeezers and
reamers? Just us collec-
tors and museum addicts
I guess. Besides that
canned juice is about as
cn::ver;-"it as that food
processor 1 started talk
ing about.
