I must admit that I am a new convert to the use of "Ala" (a soft wheat cereal). I had not heard of the product before com ing to Oregon and when I tried it on my own, I wasn't too im pressed. But tasting Miss Bar nick's Ala Casserole, with the addition of onion soup and cream of chicken soup (instead of the regular water) convinced me that Ala can hold up its head at any meal. The whole purpose of the "Ore gon Wheat Products" lesson was to impress upon housewives the good, healthwise and pennywise, that comes from the use of Ore gon wheat. Fish is another Oregon product in fact it is a 30-40 million dollar industry in Oregon weiprotien were told by Mrs Helen Groves j and Peter Formuzis of the Bur eau of Commercial Fisheries, Seattle, Washington. I was quite impressed that Mrs Groves could prepare seven fish dishes and not one of them was "fried fish." Some interesting facts Mrs Groves brought out in her two demonstrations in Morrow coun ty (Boardman on Jan 28; Hepp- ,ner on Jan 29) are: Fish are very tender, they don't develop muscles like beef, Therefore a person should avoid over cooking. Fish meat could be eaten raw, but civilized peo ple like the protein coagulated the same reason you poach an egg. Most fish should be cooked at a moderate temperature 350 de grees. Cook and serve your sea food in the same container.

Fat fish (salmon, tuna, her ring, etc) which bastes it self while cooking. 2. Lean fish (sole, halibut, cod. etc) which must be cooked in a sauce or brushed with oil, because they are less than 5 fat. 3. Shell fish (crabs, muscles, scallops, oysters, etc) which are really lean fish and too must be cooked in a sauce or brushed with oil. How to know good fish on the market Look for bright, clear, bulging eyes; gills reddish pink, free from slime and oilor; firm elastic flesh springing back when pressed. Marketing forms of fish are: 1. Round or whole fish as it comes from the water. You need to plan 1 pound per person. 2. Drawn fish fish with in sides removed. This also re quires 1 pound per person. 2. Pan-dressed scales, insides, head, tail and fins removed. Ready to cook when pur chased. Plan Va pound per person. 4. Steaks cross sections sliced from large dressed fish. Ready to cook when pur chased, Plan 13 pound to 'a pound per person. 5. Fillets sides of fish cut length-wise away from the backbone. Ready to cook when purchased. Plan 13 pound per person. U S Citizens average only 10 pounds of fish per year. Compare this with beef consumption which is 180 pounds per year. Fish are a valuable source of iodine, calcium, iron, copper, and phosporus and also supply essential vitamins. Since fish is easily digested, it is particularly good for child ren and elderly people. Fish have no odor when they come from the water. It is the deteriorating of the fats and pro teins that gives you the fish odor. (So keep it on ice, brother!) I have a supply of the seven recipes Mrs Groves prepared at her two demonstrations and the bulletin "Tips on Cooking Fish and Shell Fish." If you missed the demonstration or wish a sup ply for your club or organization, just call at the county agent's office. An interesting fish fact I learned while fraternizing with Mrs Groves and Mr Formuzis is that "flat" fish, who live on the bottom of the stream, do not swim like ordinary fish.

He works for the Hudspeth Logging Company. George Urb, also one of the Hudspeth Logging crew, had a heart attack at his home here a week ago. He was released from Pioneer Memorial hospital In Prinevillo and is now staving at Mitchell. Clarence Holmes received word Wednesday that his mother, who was 90 years old, had passed away. The Holmes' left for Southern California on Wednes day. Sonny Hiese took his wife to Pendleton Friday where she Is receiving medical aid. June Hutchison is caring for the little girl, Patty. Vern McCarty left Saturday for Portland with some stock for the market. Gus Peterson drove Glenn Wil liams to Bend Monday for mod- swim on their side. Hence the side that is up is dark, for pro tective coloring, and the side to wards the bottom is light. (Sole is a good illustration of this). Another amusing thing these flat fish are born with two eyes on either side of their head, due to their not using the eye on the bottom side, the eye eventually migrates to the other side of the head giving the fish two eyes on the upper side. I'll bet some fishermen think they've caught a freak the first time they've hooked a flat fish!
