The house was heated by wood burning stoves, and kerosene lights were the, source of light for evening reading and visiting. In 1933 the lower floor of the house was divided to make separate living quarters for two families. Carbide gas lights had been Installed in 1928 and were used until elec tricity came to the area in 19r0. In 1945 the long narrow kitchen was removed and some interior remodeling was done. The original porch on the taller part of the house had deteriorated and had been removed by 1930. The 1945 remodeling inclu-d-d a new porch on two sides of the parlor room, now a kitchen and family room. A bathroom was added at this time. The family living in the house from 1932 - 1974 was the Lonnie McCabe family. He was the grandkon of . Mtmo Olden. The death of Lonnie in 1974 brought a change of people to the house, when Alvin. son of I PUBLIC IOTICoJ STATEMENT OF NONDISCRIMINATION Columbia Basin Electric Cooperative.

"The house has seen five generations of the same fam ily, and if it could talk, could tell of many changes through the years of wind storms and of dust storms so severe the occupants were forced to leave and shovel dirt out when they returned." recalls one of the McCabe family members. 1 J0BHC WOTIcEj participation in any meetings of beneficiaries and partici pants or the exercise of any rights of such beneficiaries and participants in the con duct of the operations of this organization.

Sum mer has never seemed like a leisure time to me. In fact, when you have kids home from school, summer Is any thing but leisure, and meals are a real challenge. The house that used to be so quiet is now bustling with activity. The phone that used to ring a few times rings off the hook and Is only for me when I refuse to answer it because it's always for the kids. The little dabs of leftovers that made easy little lunches no longer suffice for the people that are around for lunch. You no longer know what's In the kitchen. The gallon of milk ; you brought home last night is gone in a day. The kids are either super busy or super bored there seems to be no in-between stage. Appetites are either nonexistent or ra venous. All in all it seems as though my summers have always been a little out of control, especially when we first make the change from a school schedule to a summer schedule. How can you save money in the summer when it seems like the food just evaporates? How can you make sure everyone that's going which wav has the food they need to . be healthy? How can you use up little dabs of leftovers that aren't really enough for the whole gang? How can you keep things to drink in the ' house without spending a for tune? It certainly is a chal lenge. One of the things I dis covered was "sun tea" which I mfike by the gallon. Just a glass jar. a sunny place, and three or four tea bags per gallon is all that's needed. If vou don't like the kids to have caffeine, there are a number of herb teas that are delight ful. Just fill the jar with cold water, hang the tea bags so the strings can be pulled out and let it sit in the sun until it's as dark as you like it. This usually takes about six or eight hours for my taste. Then you can take out the tea bags (if you lose the strings inside, or use generic tea bags that don't have strings, it really isn't too crucial to remove the bags ). sweeten if you wish and refrigerate. This gallon of beverage which is refreshing and low calorie then costs from four cents to about nine cents a lot less than pop or any beverage other than water. What do families like to do most in the "Good Old Sum- ,Htr, ... LEXLMGTON CHRISTIAN CHURCH Sunday, July 17, 7p.m. Costs no youv iJntuuuuu nuA Eating mertime"? According to a survey done recently, the most favorite activity is pic V nicking. Whether it's off to the city park or a long drive into "the country, it' fun to take 'your food to the great out doors. Picnicking can be as com plicated or as simple as you want to make it. It can be a sandwich, cookie and fruit like you would take in a lunch to .school or work, or it can be a gourmet treat that takes spe cial care. The family Joves it either way to add a little spice to your life take your family outdoors for a meal. If you want to travel light but have something gourmet, try choosing special breads to make your sandwich. Pocket bread is easy to make and is a real treat. French bread, hamburger buns and other special breads can add variety, too. One of our favorites is a loaf of French bread made into one big sandwich. Then take along a knife and cutting board. Deli meats and cheese are the preferred filling and can sometimes be bought on sale. If they're too expensive, try some other fillings, like egg salad or chicken salad. Tur key drumsticks are often on sale and can be boiled and the meat taken off the bones for a good sandwich filling. Be sure the foods you take are kept safe. Meat, or com bination foods, like egg salad need to be kept at refrigerator temperatures or used within two hours. Pack them into an Ice chest with plenty of ice. I like to save money and the mess of melting ice by freez ing water in a large plastic container or a Mi-gallon milk carton. Also, it gets expensive to buy ice in the store. t' If an ice chest isn't avail fable, stick to cheese, peanut butter or hard cooked eggs in .'their shell. Another choice would be to take commercial ly canned meat or fish along 274 Main Street P. O. Box 551 t . . ; ,7) I 'sl 1 4IP SfrF ... 11 JA. & and open it when you're about to eat. Kase of preparation and easy cleanup make a picnic more fun for the cook in the family. Plan for cleanup when you pack the lunch. For In stance, put in a plastic sack if you take along a melon. Then you have something to put the rinds and seeds in. Camping is a real family favorite, too. The same prin ciples apply here. Choose things that are easy to prepare and take a short cooking time and plan what you take accor ding to what refrigeration you have available. In camping, though, the planning is much more criti cal. When our family was dong a lot of camping, I always kept a checklist so I wouldn't forget anvthing that was really necessary. The basic items were kept in a special "camp ing box." Then I just added the special things needed for the menus I had planned. Barbecue and patio meals are great in the summer. You don't always have to have steak or expensive cuts of meat. If you marinate meats, or use commercial tenderi ze you can use the less expensive cuts. Don't forget the lower cost meats like turkey anbd chicken that can be cut up to make delightful barbecue meals. You don't have to purchase marinades, thev are just a combinatirj of some kind of acid lemon iuice. orange juice, vinegar or wine, sometimes a little oil and some flavoring. You can even use Italian type salad dressing for marinades. You can also make your own barbecue sauces from com mon things you have at home for considerably less than a iar of ready-made sauce. You can speed up the barbecue time by cooking the less ten der meats for awhile in the oven or microwave. I especial ly like to pre-eook chicken and then finish it with barbecue Independence Accoun Heppner, OR 97836 (503) The Heppner Gazette-Tlmes, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, July 7. 1983-FIVE sauce on the grill. If your ' barbecue sauce has sugar, in it .'you need to use it only in the very last few minutes of cook ing or ft may look burned before1 the meat is cooked through. You can serve smaller por tions of meat and concentrate on the plentiful fruits and vegetables that are low in cost and high in nutritional value. Kabobs or skewers are very festive and easy to prepare. It makes a little bit of meat look a lot bigiger. If you are using a variety of meats, fruits and vegetables on a kabob, they need to have the same cooking time or each item should be put on a separate kabob. . Here's a simple barbecue sauce that's great on chicken but also good on other low-cost meats. Use it in the last 10 minutes of barbecuing on the outdoor grill. It can also be used in the oven as a sauce for less tender meat.
