Picnic Fare For Food And Family Fun
Dining rooms, say many families,
are stuffy, especially in the summer.
Out-of-the house eating is today’s
trend. Informality is the keynote
of modern living. All of which adds
up to picnics. Food tastes better
on the terrace, in the back yard, or
at the picnic grounds.
Food manufacturers of 1950 have
i made it easy to plan and fill the
i picnic basket. Think of the foods
! you can buy ready-to-eat or requir-
: ing a minimum of preparation in
1 the home kitchen. Cans of baked
j beans, dozens of baked'buns, loaves
. of cold meats and summer sausages,
! pickles, potato chips. The store of-
' fers radishes, green onions, potato
salad, fruits of all types.
So it’s a picnic for the family and
1 almost a vacation for mother on the
next hot summer day.
Hov/ does this menu sound? It
~ ought to fill a growing boy’s hollow
/ legs, satisfy daughter's eye for col-
' or and flavor contrast, and give dad
fcod that will tempt him beyond his
: capacity.

Baked beans are a picnic favorite.
They have been included because
any picnic meal should include one
hot dish. Empty cans of baked beans
into a casserole, add catsup, top
with bacon and bake in a. 325 de-
gree oven for an hour.
Crunchy potato chips, crisp rad-
ishes give texture contrast to the
soft beans. Use bunches of washed
radishes with leaves left on. Place
the bunches, leafy part down, in a
glass jar. Stick in a few gleaming
white onion bulbs and you have a
centerpiece as well as a dish of
relishes.
The buns are split, buttered,
toasted. A hot 'wiener is inserted.
Balance the part of the hot dog
that extends beyond one end of the
bun by stems of green onions ex-
tending at the other end. Herb
flavored mustard is even better
than plain mustard.
Put the potato salad in a large
bowl. Cut rings of green pepper. In-
sert the rings down the center of
the salad. Peel the hard cooked
eggs. Cut the fresh tomatoes in thick
slices.
Arrange the sliced meat at the
last moment lest the edges of the
meat curl. Use water cress or parsley
for contrast.
The watermelon should be dead
ripe and chilled from center to out-
ermost rind. Add small fresh fruits
for color accent and appetite ap-
peal. Don’t forget to All the large
enamel coffee pot with amber cof-
fee, hot and clear. Everybody ready?
Let’s go.

Founder To Speak
At Man and Boy
Brotherhood Supper
F. IVY BOGGS
F. Ivy Boggs of Dallas, founder of
the “Man and Boy Movement,” will
speak Monday night, 7:30 o’clock at
the Man and Boy Supper, sponsored
by the First Baptist Brotherhood at
the First Baptist Church in Mesquite.
Boggs, vice-president of the Bap-
tist Brotherhood in Texas, and Texas
representative on the Baptist Broth-
erhood Commission of the Southern
Baptist Convention, composed of 22
states and the District of Columbia,
was president of the Associational
Brotherhood when he began the
“Man and Boy Movement” in Dallas
in 1946. The Texas Brotherhood
adopted the movement that summer,
followed by the adoption by the Bap-
tist Brotherhood of the South in its
retreat at Ridgecrest, North Caroli-
na. Since that time the movement
has been one of the annual objectives
of the Baptist Brotherhood of the
South.
The “Man and Boy Movement”
deals with evangelism, home missi-
ons, foreign missions, community
betterment, family unity, second mile
Christianity, Christian homes and
juvenile deliquency, in an effort to
get the men in the Brotherhood of
the Baptist Churches to take a boy
to Sunday School, who has not been
attending.
In endorsing the movement, J. Ed-
gar Hoover of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, Washington, D. C.
said: “I am happy to note that your
organization has additional plans to
encourage boys to attend Sunday
School. The training of youth in the
churches of this country has been
a bulwark against crime and delin-
quency in the past, and will in the
future save many of our boys and
girls from the road that leads to
crime and ruin.”
This supper for “Man and Boy” is
open to all men in the community.
Men are urged to take a boy with
them, preferably a boy who is not
enlisted in anybody’s Sunday School;
but guests and their own sons are
welcome to this program, church of-
ficials stress.
