An«al smelt season brings new fish appreciation It’s spring - and every springtime men, women, and children across the country go a little crazy smelt crazy, that is. Thousands of them line the banks of rivers, lakes, and tributaries, slipping and sliding along the edge of the icy water while they dip for smelt with nets, pans, buckets, or any containers at hand. Many of the more avid smelters stay on through the night, illuminating their activities with lanterns or flashlights and building bonfires or using portable heat ers to take off the chill. Why? These pleasantly pixilated folk insist that they are having a whale of a lot of fun! They are right, smelting is fun for the partici pants and the unbelievably large amount of smelt caught also provides great eating to satisfy the appetite, please the palate, ind ease the budget. Tired but happy, he smelters watch the early dawn and .hen return home where the fish are •leaned and froien for future use. If you. like many others, dip your own smelt, or if you do your dipping at the eafood market or froien seafood count- »r, now is the time to dip and enjoy. Commercial fishermen have smelt mania n the springtime too, and they are ceeping the markets supplied. These lilvery little fish are caught all the way rom the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Virginia Capes, in the mighty Columbia •liver and its tributaries, and in the Great ^akes. Because of today's quick freezing ind transportation methods, smelt are ivailable everywhere. Smelt have delicate, sweet flavored flesh and contain a pleasant oil that aids digestion. These small fish carry a big protein punch to make them valuable nutritionally as well as good eating. The average size is from 7 to 8 inches and the average weight is 10 to 11 smelt to the pound. Many of the smelt caught, however, are finger sized, just big enough for 2 to 3 bites. Any size, however, adapts readily to Sauce Smelt, a versatile recipe from the National Marine Fisheries Service. Dip the fish into tomato sauce, then into a Parmesan cheese flour mixture before deep fat fry ing fot approximately 3 to 4 minutes.

A t Home with Cal « by Cal. R. Williams Home sewers have more fabrics intend ed for physical fitness and outdoor activities to choose from. Some specific fabrics that are suitable for sweatshirts and jogging suits are a 100 percent acrylic with a fuzzy sweat shirt back, a thermal double knit with polyester on the front side and cotton the back, and a velour of triacetate and nylon. When sewing these fabrics at home, attention should be given to the seams, according to Ardis Koester, Oregon State University Extension textiles and cloth ing specialist. Seams that require strength without stretch, such as shoulder seams, may be double stitched by sewing them as flat felled seams or topstitched welt seams. If the fabric is very bulky or tends to curt use a double stitched seam. For the double stitching there are several alternatives depending on the possibilities of your sewing machine The alternatives include two lines of straight stitching 1/8 inch apart, or a line of straight stitching and zigzagging, blind stitching or overedge stitching. V ery stretchy fabrics may need tape stitched in with the seam. In some seams it may be desirable to maintain the stretch of the fabric. For these seams a zigzag seam, an overedge stitched seam, or an elastic straight stitch Miracle Whip salad dressing from KRAFT is more than salad dressing. It’s great on bread, too. Smooth and easy spreading. Miracle Whip has a secret blend of herbs and spices that adds a fresh, lively, one-of-a kind flavor to your favorite breads and things. That’s why we call it “The Bread Spread? C A L W IL L IA M S fa desirable. If your machine does not do any of these stitches you may wish to stitch for about 2-3 inches (5-8 cm), cut the thread, continue the seam by overlap ping with the previous stitching for 5/8 inch (1.5 cm), then sew again for about 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) and so on. This overlapping stitching allows for the seam to stretch without breaking the thread, but does not have the recovery from stretch that some of the specialty stitches have.
