trwxu Wrtttr)
Our area is rich in picnic
spots and many of the better
ones are to bee found right in
our own or a neighbor's back
yard. However, given a choice,
the children would probably
like to go a-gypsying, seeking
out new spots, exploring new
trails, wading in distant waters,
sniffing new smells.
Public picnic grounds, na
; tional and state parks, resort
areas beckon; all splendidly
equipped with camp stoves,
running water, tables and
benches and frequently an or
ganizer of competitive events
for which parents give thanks.
No matter where you go.
: garbage cans and waste paper
baskets are readily available

it is well to give the. family
another little briefing on the
use of same. Then they can re
mind the children of other fam
ilies. Labor-less Day for Mother
Whether you stay home or
travel afar, food is the most
important thing that happens.
After all, it is a picnic. And
the day should be reasonably
free from labor for mother as
well as for the otherwise "em
ployed" millions who celebrate
Labor Day by avoiding labor.
Basket Picnic Plenty
About as laborless as we can
get, is this basket picnic where
family and friends dine like
kings of old without aid of
plates, knives, forks or spoons.
Use inexpensive baskets, the
dime-store variety, in place of
plates.
Line each basket with color
ful napkins or foil before fill
ing with food. Take plenty of
extra paper napkins! Salt and
pepper.
For the menu, fried chicken
is ideal, either hot or cold.
Plentiful, reasonably priced,
figure a half a broiling size
chicken per person, or choose
frying size drumsticks, thighs,
breasts and wings. If you're
traveling, fresh corn-on-the-cob
can be carried in plastic bags
and plopped briefly into boiling
water (remember to take along
some tongs). Stalks of crisp
celery and for each basket, a
whole tomato cut into wedges
and assembled again. For the
children plenty of milk and for
the grown-ups, maybe some in
stant coffee for quick coffee
making at dessert time.
Sierra Fried Chicken
If this sounds exactly like
Maryland fried chicken, don't
be surprised. It is our tine, ten
der western grown fryers that
makes the difference.
Wash and dry chicken pieces.
For each chicken, blend cup
flour. 1 cup sifted dry bread
crumbs, 1 teaspoon paprika,

mixture of 1 beaten egg and V4

secret; chill before frying to

heat enough shortening, part

salad oil in a skillet or Dutch
oven to make V inch layer.
Brown coated chicken, a few
pieces at a time, turning oc

pieces to a pie plate or baking
pan and keep warm in a slow
oven. When all pieces are
browned, return to-skillet or
Dutch oven. Cover. Bake in
moderate oven. 330 degrees, 1
hour or until tender, turning
once.
Delicious Salad .
Big red slices of vine-ripened
tomatoes topped with av
ocado cubes make a beautiful
and delicious salad. Serve a
tart French or rich Thousand
Island dressing with the salad.
Week-End
Produce
Plentiful
Shoppers planning and buy
ing for the "Over Labor Day"
week-end find a wealth of good
things from which to choose
making menu planning a real
pleasure. There will probably
be one or more picnics and at
least one meal featuring an as
sortment of cold cuts, cheese,
probably potato salad and wat
ermelon. Before we talk about
the best buys, we remind you
to check on ample supplies of
paper plates, paper cups, paper
napkins, which contribute so
much toward making the Labor
Day week-end as laborless as
possible for the chief cook and
dishwasher.
Meat Situation
' Beef takes top place on plen
tiful foods list throughout Sep
tember with great emphasis on
abundance of lean beef suited
to pot roasts or other braised
dunes, stews and "hamburger
meat" for ' hamburgers and
meat loafs. Market advertise
ments and displays offer sur
prisingly low prices.
Poultry
If you're having a crowd,
you'll probably find a turkey
the most economical and satis
fying offering. Frying chick
ens are reasonably priced and
a happy choice for eating out
of hand. With that fried chick
en, offer bread, butter and thin
ly sliced cucumber sandwiches
for a certain hit
Fish, Fresh and Frosen '
Plentiful supplies of fish and
shellfish continue with special
emphasis on halibut, salmon,
sole, flounder, sableflsh or
black cod and the rock fishes.
Plenty of frozen fish fillets in
good variety at reasonable cost
Dairy Abundance
Dairying contributes much to
the economy Of our. state and
this year's supply of dairy
products is unusually heavy,
ranging from a wide variety of
cheese to ice creams in many
of the good seasonal fruit and
berry flavors.
Seasonal Vegetables

Let Everyone Get
In on Grill Fun
Take along several different
kinds of meats for the picnic
grill and let everyone join in
the fun of being chef for a day.
Plenie Patties
Season each pound of ground
beef with 1 teaspoon salt and
teaspoon pepper, adding a
bit of oregano, thyme, mar
joram, Worcestershire or other
meat sauce as liked. Shape
patties before leaving home
and wrap in waxed paper. For
easy separation, place a square
of waxed paper betwen pat
ties. Fry on a hot greased grill.
Barberpole Franks -
Wrap each frankfurter with
a strip of bacon and fasten with
a toothpick. (This can be done
before leaving home.) Fry on
a hot greased grill, turning to
cook bacon on all sides.
Barbecued Bologna
Slice bologna V to H Inch
thick and brown on hot greased
grill. While slices brown, spoon
any favored barbecue sauce
over them. Complete menu
with buns, olives and pickles,
crisp celery and carrot sticks.
a salad if you with, coffee, milk
and a fresh fruit pie or cobbler.
Steak 9n Onions So Good
Hearty Lima Salad
Avoid the Labor Day holi
day traffic and celebrate at
home with a back yard picnic.
Invite your neighbors and
friends over to broil hambur
gers or weiners. Instead of the
usual potato salad, serve a
hearty lima salad. Sprinkle
paper-thin onion rings over a
bowl of chilled cooked dry 11-

With, the coming of the first
touch of the fall season what
could be more appropriate for
dinner than a tender braised
steak? Braised dishes fit well
into many meal plans because
they may be -prepared equally
as well by "range-top cooking
or by oven cooking.
Braised beef dishes may
have vegetables cooked right
along with them. In fact the
beef lends a tempting flavor to
the vegetables. Add them to
the meat only long enough be
fore the end of cooking so they
will be done and yet retain
their shape and color. -
For best results follow these
steps. First, brown the meat
in 3 or 4 tablespoons of lard
or drippings In a heavy frying
pan. Do this slowly and thor
oughly eso the meat will retain
the golden brown color after
the liquid is added. When
browned, add only a small
amount of liquid. It is best to
start with from to Vt cup.
Add more liquid during cook
ing only u u is necessary to
keep the meat from sticking.
Next cover the meat closely.
Then let it cook quite slowly
unui tender. This will be
from 1 to H4 hours, depend
ing upon the thickness of the
round or arm steak. Add the
green onions about 20 minutes
before the steak Is done.
