Info on recipes....

So far the recipes have been from the Silver Spoon Cookbook that the Kansan newspaper used to have in their paper. I do have a few of them, thanks to my mom, yes , I am a Kansan, but now a Missourian. As a request from her, I have been typing recipes from these papers, which are brown and raggedly from age. so I decided to put these on the web. These are old recipes from 1960`s, so far.
The recipes were submitted by the readers and judged and then the paper would put the recipes in paper form with the newspaper. I do believe it started in 1960, in which I do not have a copy of that paper, I wonder what kind of recipes that paper had and how many?

Of the Sunday May 28, 1967 issue, the judges studied 512 recipes. The judges were in that year; Mrs. Jo Dougherty, Mrs. Ted Hartshorn, Mrs. Harold W. Irick, Mrs. A. W. Magers, Mrs. Derieth M. Rone. The categories ; Main dishes ( 98 recipes) , Appetizers and Soups ( 37 recipes) , Vegetables/Salads ( 115 recipes) , Breads/ Rolls ( 74 recipes) ,
Desserts ( 136 recipes) , Convenience Foods ( 57 recipes).

Of the Sunday March 31, 1968 issue, It does not state how many recipes were sent in. The judges were in that year; Miss Helen Priestley, Mrs. Rosemary Gammon, Mrs. Lois Claftin, Bently Fields, Mrs. Mary Lou Pfenning. Their were 6 classifications, Main Coarse ( 68 recipes), Appetizers and Salads ( 60 recipes), Bread/Rolls and Muffins ( 48 recipes ), Cakes/ Cookies/ Candy ( 91 recipes ), Desserts ( 53 recipes) , Young Cooks (58 recipes). Other important people of the day contributed recipes as well such as the mayor ( 6 recipes ).
I will be posting back forth from these two newspapers for now.Of course I might throw in a few from somewhere else as well.
