Another take on “mile high.”
While this card seems as if it was written to be intentionally confusing, this recipe from the Nov. 2, 1980 edition of the St. Joseph [Missouri] News-Press might help decode it.
From the box of D.W. from Cedar Falls, Iowa.
Mile High Pie (Strawberry or Raspberry)
1 cup sugar
2 egg whites
1 (10 oz.) [package] of [frozen] strawberry
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
dash salt
[Beat egg whites to soft peaks, then add remaining ingredients.] Beat for 15 minutes until real thick, then add 8 oz. cool whip, 1 tsp. vanilla. Fold together and freeze overnight.
Take out 10 minutes before serving.
Base:
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 cup flour
butter
Brown in oven 1/2 cup nuts.
9×13 pan. Pour in strawberry mixture. [Then freeze]

I’d suggest using two tablespoons of butter in the “base.”
