Mail Tribune 100, June 21, 1922 By Alissa Corman Jun 21, 2022 12:00 AM A A News from 100 years ago The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago June 21, 1922 MISS POOL’S LEMON PIE RECIPE WINS FAVOR IN SOUTH A perusal of the daily mail of Miss Florence Pool, County Home Demonstration Agent, furnishes interesting reading for that hard-working and accommodating individual who, in addition to her regular duties is kept busy answering queries from women in various parts of Oregon and the United States. She has a department in the Oregon State Farm Bureau News in which she describes her work among the women of Jackson County, and occasionally publishes recipes and advices about cooking. Some of these letters are very plaintive. For instance women living in back woods sections of the United States occasionally write for information about cooking or dressmaking and make a comment like “I have not seen a woman for six months.” But Miss Pool received a letter on June 15 from McComb, Miss., signed “Mrs. Viola Mullins,” which brought her much pleasure from that far off southern state. In part the letter reads as follows: “Kindly send me a receipt of cooking. How to fix different things. I have cooked several lemon pies according to your directions and they were just fine. So I am anxious to learn other different ones from you. Please send at once.” Miss Pool has never heard from the writer before, but presumes she in some manner got hold of an issue of the farm bureau paper and saw her lemon pie receipt therein. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Visiting auto tourists express themselves as greatly pleased with the new city auto camp facilities and surroundings. They especially like its location close to the hear of the city. One of the many sincere compliments was uttered this morning by Mrs. Statler of Los Angeles, who with her husband is touring to Montana, just as they were leaving the camp after spending the night there. “This is the very best camp we have stopped at since leaving home,” she told William Davis, the caretaker of the auto camp. — Alissa Corman; [email protected]
