GREEN VEGETABLES FOUND BEST FOR NUTRITION VALUES Minerals and Vitamins Are Stressed by Home Eco nomics Bureau in Offering Shopping, Cooking Hints SOCIETY and CLUBS By Janet Wray Smith (Uy Bureau of Home economic, U. 8 Department of Agriculture) Any tthrowd grocer is fully aware of the Mies appeal of banks of crisp, green vegetable, especially when brightened by a fine spray of water. They act like a magnet on the passerby. And this Is one of tho times when sales resistance would be no virtue. Nutrition specialist say a person should have at least one green or yellow vegetable a day. And they also recommend eating some raw vegetable dally. Greens have a secure place In the diet both for esthetic and for health reasons. They are especially import ant as a source of minerals and vita mins. Most of therj have a liberal amount or the two minerals most often slighted In American diets: calcium and- Iron. And vitamin A Is usually present In abundance. Many of tho greens are excellent sources also of vitamin C, good sources of : vitamin B, gnd good to excellent In I vitamin O content. The Greener The Ifctter The greener the leafy vegetable, the higher Is Its Iron and vitamin A content. The mora blanched the leaf the poorer It Is In these two dietary essentials. Turnip tops, for lnst mice, are much more nutritious than head lettuce. When the average person hears the word greens he usually thinks first of spinach. And spinach Is a god leafy vegetable. But scientists say other groens are quite as good. Beet tops, chard, dandelion, greens, mustard greens, turnip tops and watercress are often richer than spin ach both In calcium and In iron, and quite as good for the vitamins. In shopping for any of the leafy Tradables, of course, you look for fresh, young, green, tender -loaves. If loaves are very dirty, or are dry, or yellow, or have coarse stems, you'll look for a better buy. Such leaves probably will not be palatable or nu tritious and will mean considerable waste. Test Head Firmness When you're buying lettuce you'll give the hoed a little hand pressure to find how firm it Is. And you'll look for signs of tip-burn, the tell tnlo brown edging the leaves, par ticularly In the Innermost parte of the head. They would have to be trimmed off and so mean waste They are caused by unfavorable growing oontlltlons and may later becomo limy areas and then, of course, you Slave decay and an unusable head of lettuce. In shopping for broccoli, try to discover If the stalks are tender and firm. See that the buds In the heads are compact and that not more than an occasional one has opened enough to show the full yellow or purple color of tho blossoms. Wilted or flab by stalks aro wasteful and often toutfh. As to serving green vegetables, many of them can be eaten raw as well as cooked. And that goes for p!uach qs well as for the dandelions and cn'fis. Whoever has never tasted spinach In any form except cooked, might try Its tender leave served Just like lettuce or cress with a good Mind dressing. ii.lrk Cooking Ail vised Though even the most careful cooking rnnults in some nutritive loss, i much of the minerals and vitamins' nvty bo conserved. Heat la an enemy ; tooth of color and of vitamin C; so green should be subject to It for i as short a time as possible. And since some of the mineral sails are easily i dissolved In the water, the leeves ! University Women To Name Officers New officers will be elected to head the Med ford branch of the American Association of University Women at the luncheon meeting set for tomorrow afternoon. Luncheon Is to be served at 12:30 o'clock at the Hotel Medford. Those attending are requested to make res ervations through Miss Vera Hum phrey. This Is next to the last meet ing of the year and ajl members are particularly urged to be present. Reports of the recent district con vention In Klamath Falls will be presented by those attending.

Inspired by the Pan. American exposition which will open In Dallas, Texas, on June 12, they have gone color-researching among the remnants of the- brilliant- clvlll zntlon that flourished four centuries ago In the region of the Rio Grande. Seven new strong primitive colors and five somewhat softer shades are the result. The first group features Aztec red, Toltec green, Mayan blue and Incan gold all used In the official exposi tion flag and desert dusk (much like the lavender-brown called "this tle") toucan (a strong yellow -orange) and chill copper (a warm, soft pot tery tone). Less brilliant hues Included In the second group are desert dawn, a soft. rosy color; pampas beige, which has a decided pink cast; aombrero. a putty tone, and Magellan gray, a delicate pearl gray. Klwanlans Plan Dinner Monday. Klwanlans will entertain ladles ol the club at a dinner party Monday evening at 6:30 o'clock In the Hotel Medford, It has been announced. The affair le one of swerol joint gather ings arranged by the club. The monthly meeting of Klwantan Dames which would have fallen Mon day afternoon has been omitted, those In charge point out. An evening of bridge la to follow the Monday dinner. Greens V oration At Miami Drub. Mr. and Mrs, Oordon R. Green, who are among Medford resident traveling during spring monthB, are visiting at Miami Beach. Fla., where they were guests at the Marine Ter race hotel. Mr. and Mm. Green are making a loop trip around the United States, having left their home here about three weeks ago. Th,ey planned to be away about six weeks and will visit numerous resort and vacation spots while away. During their absence, Mr. Green's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Green of Seattle, are visiting here and re siding at the Gordon Green resi dence. . .Mrs. Cook Is Club IIotes. Mrs. J. C. Cook was hostess to members of the Past Matrons' club of Nevlta chapter, O. E. S., at Cen tral Point, at her home In this city Wednesday afternoon. Luncheon covers were laid for 22. Joint hostesses with Mrs. Cook were Mrs. Leta Kyle.

Members of the executive board will be In charge. A debate and Installation of new officers will feature the session. should be cooked In only enough water to prevont scorching. With spin ach, Just the water that la left on the leaves after they are washed will be sufficient. Plant acids are among the worst enemies of the green coloring mat ter of the leaves. Heat frees these acids, lets them attack the green and break It down Into ugly brown com pounds. Some of the acids, howover, go off with the steam during the flrat momenta of the cooking But if a lid Is on the kettle the acids in tho steam Just collect on the lid and drop back onto the leaves to attack the green coloring matter. So to keep the leaves as green as pos sible, cook them In an uncovered utenll. To cut down on cooking time and thus save more nutrients, it's a good Idea to snip off the stems of spinach and discard them If they're tough or Lf they're not, start them cooking berore adding the leaves. With chard,; you might use your kitchen scissors! to advantage, cutting the midrib out and giving It a few minutes hoad ' stnrt of the thinner part of the leaf, Hints On Conking To speed the cooking of broccoli, i discord the woody ends, and spilt the stalks Into lengthwise quarters so that each one will have a tuft of the buds. If you add vinegar or lemon Juice to your greens, do so after cooking them. It's that old feud between the acids and green coloring again. They soon turn the cheerful green of the leaves to a drab olive cost. You might mix the vinegar In Just before you bring the dish to the table. Or bet ter yet Just pass the vinegar cruet and let everyone at the table use as much or as little as he pleases. Butter gives a pleasing flavor to I any dish of greens say about 1 tnblespoons of It for each 2-cup quantity. Or bacon Jnt with, bits of crisp bacon. Whatever your pet way of preparing greens, by all means get them Into the menu somehow. In the spring wild varieties are so easily available and cultivated kinds so reasonable that one can fairly revel In them. REDDING , Cal. (UP) High la the Sierra watershed, this thriving com munity awaits actual construction on me central valleys project, Califor nia $70,000,000 solution to its great est problemwinter floods and sum mer water shortage. Completion of preliminary surveys and selection of nearbv Kennett n tho focal dam site have been an nounced. Magnitude of the project almost staggers the Imagination. Greater than fomed Boulder canyon dam de velopment, the central valleys pro ject Includes plana for a SOO-mlle waterway from the upper Sacramento river, down through tho Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys to the great citrus fruit regions of southern Cal :fornla. The valleys lie midway between the Sierra range and the Pacific coast, and San Francisco and Los Angeles lean heavily upon their productivity. San Francisco's dependency has been conservatively placed at 9600,000,000 and that of Los Angeles at S 120, 000, 000. Project to pay Out A self-liquidating undertaking, the project will repay federal loans by sale of water and power. The 420 foot dam at Kennett at the headwaters of the Sacramento river will Impound 3,000,000 acre feet of water, half as much as the com bined total of California's 750 other dams, assuring a year-round controll ed river flow. The dam will g've to 800.000 acres of settled lands flood protection valued at $14,000,000 and assure year-round . river navigation valued at $15,000,000. Spectacular engineering feats will be necessary. The main lino of the Southern Pa Ulver Boats to Ply States highway 99 will be radically revamped. Kennett Itself will be at the bot tom of a huge lake, with the water's surface far above the present roof tops. A double-deck bridge, with the world's tallest piers, will carry auto mobile and railroad traffic far above the then swollen waters of the Pitt river. River Boats toPly River boats, a Joy to the hearts of sentimentalist and a source of profit to businessmen, again will reach Red Bluff, 60 miles south of here, from Sacramento and San Francisco. Inland encroachment of salt water from the San Francisco bay area will be halted, likewise aridity In the San Joaquin valley. At the top of the San Joaquin wat ershed, the 4,000-foot Frlant dam will become the longest concrete dam In the world, making the San Joa quin river run backward and carry ing much needed Irrigation water over step dams under pressure. Fron? a national viewpoint Interest center, on the project because Its completion will mean assurance of water normalcy In an area from which are drawn the country's choicest spe cialty crops of raisins, figs, olives, prunes, citrus fruits, vegetables and cotton. To Harvest Vast Area Wbnn all t the seemingly "Insur mountable" engineering problems have been solved and numerous oth er pieces fitted Into the gigantic Jigsaw, California will have harness ed and put to work the 20 million acre feet of surplus water that now sweeps away in destructive floods. Legal, economic and tinanclal prob lems regarding rights of way, selec tion of dam sites, provision for trans mission to commercial markets, and engineering questions, occupied many days of conference between U. S. rec lamation officials and the California water authority. The big Job will require: More than 7,000,000 cubic yards of concrete; 28.809.000 pounds of rein forcing steel; 114.543,000 pounds of structural steel: 6,496,000 barrels of cement; 38,311,000 cubic yards of ex cavation, and 186,224,000 man-houTB of labor. Fund Set Alde An executive order from President Roosevelt In 1935 ordered allocation of $15,000,000 to begin construction of storage reservoirs on the Sacra mento and San Joaquin rivers. The 74th congress later appropria ted nearly $7,000,000, but meanwhile the president's sum was cut to $4. 500,000, leaving approximately $11, 400,000. Some 400 men already are engaged in the p rem 111 nary work, but the blueprint are drawn and even now men are drifting here, asking for Jobs. Seven years probably will be required to complete the project. retail"tradTsuffers during bad weather T WASHINGTON, April 23.
