and, another thing is, it can
happen to you.
Rather than the usual
not-so-serious tone of this
column, there’s a need to be
serious today.
In Thursday’s issue of The
News was the story of the
death of Tommy R. Burkes,
who lived in Lubbock with his
parents. Tommy was found
dead in the bath tub with a
lighted electric lamp in the
water.

TORTILLAS REALLY HOT
Those were really hot
tortillas on a truck in Oregon,
Ohio. A cargo of Mexican food
in the pickup truck caught fire
when the tailpipe ignited
wooden flooring. Firemen had
to quench the blaze.
SMILE A WHILE
A wise grandfather says he
just can’t help wondering what
his grandchildren will think
about all of the wonderful
plastic antiques he will leave
them.
and .electricity had been fatal,
again.
Mary and F. A. Brown, both
well-known Kermit residents,
are Tommy’s maternal
grandparents. I knew nothing
of the tragedy when she came
by the house Sunday
afternoon.
The family decided the boy
had been very interested in
underwater movies shown on
•television and, that as he
prepared for his bath, noted an
electric lamp which had been
plugged into the adjoining
dressing room not long before.
The lamp was being used for
light for plumbing repairs his
father was making.
It is presumed the lad
decided to see what he could
see under water with a light.
Mary’s request was: “Maud,
can’t you write something in
The News, urging parents to
always be on the alert and to
be more cautious and careful
of conditions which may
endanger their young ones?
The natural curiosity and
imagination of a child can
make a dangerous situation
which adults more readily
recognize.”
It will be best for each of us
to pause, review everyday
situations and see things as
they appear in the eyes of a
child.
What we know and
recognize as danger may be
merely a thing of fascination to
a little one.

PEACHY SALAD - Quick luncheon salad combines sliced peaches with chunks of tuna for
a fresh new flavor. Sliced radishes and celery add crunch; soy sauce, exotic flavor.
En tree-Type &a la d
Answers Big Question
By SUSAN DELIGHT
Copley News Service
Entree-type salads that are
different are a wonderful an-
swer to “what shall I serve” for
a women’s luncheon.
Menu mates can be hot rolls
or muffins, hot or cold drinks
and easy-to-serve desserts. A
dessert tray holding a choice of
desserts — it might be tarts
with a variety of fresh fruit
fillings — makes an exciting
luncheon climax.
Two exotic luncheon salads
are taco salad and quick lun-
cheon salad. The first also can
be teamed with a hot casserole
such as rice and seafood, for a
man-sized buffet supper. An
unusual ingredient in the salad
is corn chips, which are
crumbled and used as a top-
ping.
Most of the preparation of the
quick luncheon salad can be
done ahead of time, then
combined with the lettuce at
the last minute. The flavor of
the tuna is very compatible
with the sliced peaches. The
vegetables lend crunch and
additional flavor.
QUICK LUNCHEON SALAD

1 can (12% ozs.) chunk
tuna (giant size)

rinse tuna. Combine peaches,
tuna, radishes and celery.

sauce and onion. Stir into
chilled ingredients. Serve
immediately over a bed of

Dressing

DRESSING
Vz cup oil
2 tbsps. cider vinegar
V* tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
%tsp. chili powder
Drain peach halves; set
aside. Drain and rinse kidney
beans. Combine kidney beans,
lettuce, onions, shredded
cheese and olives. Chill. Add
avocado and dressing just
before serving. Place a mound
of salad on greens between two
peach halves on each in-
dividual plate. Top with
crumbled corn chips and a few
whole chips. Garnish peach
halves with black olives.
Dressing: Put oil, vinegar,
mustard, salt and chili powder
in a jar. Shake to blend. Makes
three hearty servings.
