Dear Friends: In my letter last month I told you of Kristin's plans to attend the Univer­ sity of Wyoming this year, and hoped that a schedule could be arranged so that I could drive her to Laramie. Since Mother and Dad had been wanting to visit Wayne and his family in Denver, we decided this would be the ideal time for their trip for I could drive them to Denver and then take Kristin on to school. Mother will give you some of the details of the Denver visit, so I'll tell you about our drive on to Laramie.

Last June I was delighted to see the close of school approaching because it meant an occasional morning to sleep beyond 6:30. However, the hours I lost throughout the day as the result of starting later weren't worth the extra rest I gained. Therefore, I'm happy to be back on ourold schooltime schedule. Katharine has turned a corner on her own personal morning routine. Last year it was a constant struggle to get her out the front door and on her way to school at the correct time. But this year she is up and about her business at the first blast of the alarm clock. She has. in fact, had time to sit down and read a little before time to start for school. It is my sincere hope that this new attitude is here to stay and won't wear thin as the year progresses.

THERE IS A MAN IN THE KITCHEN by KITCH EN-KLATTER FLAVORS Frederick

This month I have a recipe to share with you that really is a delight to pre­ pare. The other day I was with a group of clergymen having lunch in a beauti­ ful, old New England church where it was quite appropriate that we should be served a fine old New England dish. We had a seafood casserole that was so good I immediately went out into the kitchen to ask the church ladies for the recipe. I have it here for you in quanti­ ties to serve 15 persons. If you want to serve more persons, increase propor­ tionately. NEW ENGLAND SEAFOOD CASSEJ.U)LE

Hawaiian Gobbler Fruit Bowl Center­ piece: Choose the prettiest, largest, fresh pineapple you can find. After laying the pineapple on its side on a cutting board, cut off the top third of the fruit, being careful not to cut off any of the leaves for they will be Sir Gobbler's gorgeous tail. Cut around the inside of the pineapple leaving a half inch shell. Scoop out the center with a sharp edged spoon and save this pulp which can be cut in wedges or large cubes for the fruit bowl mix­ ture. Trace a pattern for a large turkey head upon a piece of paper; then using this pattern cut a head from a thick slice of a large potato. To prevent the potato head from turning dark, place it in cold water until serving time. Then drain it and attach wattles cut from red pimiento, a beak from a carrot and raisin eyes; all of which are attached with toothpicks. Cut a slit in the end of the pineapple opposite the "tail" Peanut pixies decorate this clever Thanksgiving centerpiece made by and insert the head into it, holding it Mrs. Raymond Halls of Allerton, la.

"The first booth was the Hardware Store. Here everyone picked up his tray and silverware. The next booth was the Salade Shoppe with a beautiful array of different salads. Following was the Bakery with a variety of breads and hot rolls, the Beverage Booth, a Vegetable Stand, a Sweets Shoppe, a Meat Market, and an Oriental Booth which served only Chinese food.
