COOK OF THE WEEK Lunch Box Treats For A Little Variety hobby and she has taken several high school adult classes. But back to the school lunch box problem. Two necessary additions to the lunch box are a wide mouth small thermos and the regular thermos that comes in most boxes. Chili, beef stew, hot vegetables. macaroni and cheese are just a few of the things that taste good on a cold wintery day.

And then there is jello. plain or with fruit. pudding and other good desserts that can be kept cold as well as salads 4 bean, potato even lettuce with your favorite dressing. Thinner soups such as cream of mushroom. chicken noodle or other favorites can be kept hot in the regular thermos with milk purchased at school.

Bread can also add variety to 'the sandwich department. Date nut bread with a cream cheese filling is a change from the standard lunchmeat. Or maybe a hot dog bun filled with most any left over meat to which a little chopped. hard boiled egg. pickle relish and salad dressing has been added.

Cheese makes a good sandwich too with a little lettuce and mayonnaise for a change. And what be better than a chicken leg or two left over from the night before. Crisp. finger food celery. carrots, pickles add a crunch to the lunch box with something sweet from mother's kitchen to top off the meal.

John Graham. Mr. and Mrs. Fred and OMEWS by barbara armstrong: a The Mother's Magazine offered several new recipes for out of the ordinary salads to its readers the October 1916 issue. Good things to eat like stuffed banana salad, bean and red pepper salad, Dublin salad and onion salad.

Homemakers were told that there were few things more appetizing and healthful than a well-made salad and cautioned that a wise housewife included a salad as a part of at least one each day. Further instruction stated a light salad. such as a green salad or fruit salad should be served with a heavy meal while meat and the heavier salads were more suitable for luncheon or supper. The article went on to say "The number of combinations is almost limitless, yet to make a salad a success one must be careful not to use mixtures that do not blend or combine well together. There should never be a clashing of flavors." And with that thought in mind we will offer some of the "out of the ordinary salad" recipes.

Onion Salad was made by shredding four large white onions and mixing. with French dressing. Pile light on a salad plate with three hard boiled eggs slices and arranged around the oinon. Parsley is used to garnish it. To prepare stuffed banana salad instruction called for removing the skin of six bananas carefully so that they would keep the shape of boats.

Cut the bananas in, dice; seed one cupful dark red California cherries and break cupful walnut meats into pieces. Mix Mayonnaise to which a little whipped cream has been added. Fill the banana peels with mixture, and garnish with cherries and leaves. Dublin salad was made by placing two cupsful of cold mashed potatoes in a bowl and adding, two tablespoonsful tablespoonsful of butter, two of chopped parsley, one tablespoonsful of chopped onion and one tablespoonful of vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mix well, letting stand one hour.

Small balls were formed with the mixture and three were placed i in a nest of lettuce leaves and topped with a spoonful of mayonnaise. But my favorite has to be bean and red pepper salad. Two cupsful of string beans were boiled until tender in salt water. One small can of red peppers was chopped fine and mixed with the beans with mayonnaise added. Makes me glad I can go to the supermarket and find: a whole array of salad ingredients on the shelf.

But it is fun looking through the old magazine which Dorothy Tancey of the Upstairs Room was nice enough to share with us. Many of the products offered for sale in are still being sold. Fashions and child care hints were the very latest and I'think we are reverting! Smile God loves you. Variety is the spice of life but it's a difficult thing when it comes to packing a lunch box! MRS. BALLINGER Mrs.

Chuck (Carolyn) Ballinger finds this a never ending dlimma at her house. Even though the school lunch program in Elwood is very good. her eight -year-old son prefers taking his lunch. And in Mrs. Ballinger's words "I can't some up with any variety in lunches and seem to always end up with the same sandwich, chips and cookies." And it is a problem, particularly for conscientious mothers like Carolyn.

With the eight-year-old at the Ballinger home is a six-year old and a teenager as well as husband Chuck. Along with her concern about taking care of them. Carolyn is actively involved in church work having taught Sunday School classes and Bible School for the past five years at the Grace United Methodist Church. Presently she is serving as Sunday School superintendent. She is also past president and treasurer of the W.S.C.S.

A pekingese pup and a Siamese cat are also included in the Ballinger: household. Their love for animals also involves homing pigeons and they take birds from the Wabash Valley Racing Pigeon Club for racing in southern Indiana. This summer they had the unique experience of raising a crow they christened Joe. Joe was a very favorite pet and ate out of the same bowl with the cat and dog. Presently he is living at the Indianapolis Children's Zoo and making TV and personal appearances.

Carolyn wrote to the zoo asking it he might be an addition to their menagerie when they decided he needed a new home. Needless to say the whole family is delighted when they see him on TV. Reading is Carolyn's private Beeman, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hembree.
