Cook Cucumbers Or
Make a Fine Salad
Or both. Cucumbers are in
creasing in supply right along,
so now seems a good time to
suggest a distinctive way of
"cooking" them and also a rich,
wonderful salad specialty.
Cucumber Stew. "lis truel
Chop or slice 3 large fresh to
matoes or use l'i cups canned
tomatoes. Chop 1 medium onion
fine. Some folks peel cucumbers.
We never do. Take 3 medium cu
cumbers (about l'4 pounds); cut
in half and remove seeds. Cut
into small pieces or cubes. Pan
onion in 2 tablespoons oil or
shortening until tender. Add cu
cumbers and tomatoes, season
with salt, black pepper and mar
joram to taste. Add a bay leaf,

utes. Remove bay leaf. Blend V4

fine). Chill. Especially good with
any meat or fish dish.

Checks On Consumer
Consumers spent approxi
mately 28 per cent of their dis
posal Income (after taxes, you
know) or $380 per person for
food in 1951, according to the
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture's economics. That's the aver
age. There's no doubt but that
west coasters bring that average

'way up because west coasters
eat better; live better..
We also pay considerably less
than the national average for
many home-grown foods; fruits,
vegetables, fish and shellfish,
dairy products and some meats.
Farmers are raising more food
this year; consumers are buying
more food. Prices received by
farmers are going down and
costs of production are going up.
Railroads recently have been
granted their eleventh general
increase in freight rates, making
them now approximately 79 per
cent higher than at the end of
the war.
What To Do About It
The only way the homemaker
can hope to stay within present
budget bounds is to plan more
carefully, buy more carefully,
prepare food more carefully with
less waste, store to best possible
advantage, use up leftovers in
ingenious ways.
Poultry Broilers and fryers
are plentiful. Now is the time to
do your home freezing.
Oranges Plenty of fresh
oranges. Navel crop is generally
marketed from November 1 to
May 31; Valencias from March 1
to December 15. That's why you
find both today.
Strawberries. Peak varies with
area, sunshine and rain. Keep in
close touch with your fruit man
and do not let the season of
abundance at lowest prices pass
if you plan strawberry freezing
or preserving.
Vegetable Buys. There's an
abundance of seasonal vegetables
to delight every meal planner.
Name it and it is available.
Watch advertisements and dis
plays for "best buys" which are
many. Corn and cucumbers are
Increasing in supply though far
from the bargain column.
Fruit Buys. Watch those straw
berries. Enjoy local apples, Ari
zona grapefruit, avocados, small
oranges, bananas. Cantaloupes,
watermelons and cherries have
appeared.
The best known American
monkeys, the little capuchins,
are so called because of the peak
of hair upon the head, suggest
ive of the hood worn by the
Capuchin monks.

HOW VERMONT FEELS
Rutland, Vt. (U.R) Ver
mont's admission to the Union
in 1791 touched off an all-day
celebration in this community.
In that era of eloquent toasts,
the occasion supplied a memor
able one "The Union of Ver
mont with the United States:
May it flourish like our pines
and continue as unshaken as our
mountains." (
AMBITION REAlTzED
Jackson, Miss. (U.R) As a
boy 85-year-old Perry W. Ber
ner had a burning ambition to
make violins but grew up to be
a railroad man instead. He re
alized his dream after retiring
10 years ago and since has fash
ioned 100 of the instruments.
Washington (U.R) This li a
story about a power lawn mower
which ot out of hand.
Benjamin
Cain, an inter
preter for the
Navy depart
m e n t, who
lives behind
the British em
bassy, decided
k,., jJt his yard was
W a t-.M too big to be
H A push-cut with
Ol Si'iMiM an !d-fashion-Humoa
Niche. d mower, so
he decided to
shop around for a power job.
A friend of his said he knew
where he could get one cheap
right from the factory. This
friend turned out to be on the
cantankerous side; a practical
Joker without peer.
The mower was delivered to
him in small pieces. There was
a folder inside with instructions
on how to assemble the machine;
also material on how to crank it
up, regulate the speed, operate
the clutch and, most important,
how to stop it.
Mean Streak Got Meaner
These things the friend tore
up, and while he was ripping the
papers his mean streak got mean
er. He removed the seat from his
kid's bicycle and pitched that
into the heap of mower parts and
repacked the mess.
Then he delivered the box to
Ben Cain, went back home and
waited for the fun.
On the other side of town, the
unmechanically-minded Navy
man was having a time for him
self. After three days he called
his friend to thank him for his
kindness, but reported that
there was one thing wrong. He
had a part left over, which didn't
fit any place. A bicycle seat.
The friend told Cain that may
be the mower would cut grass
without a bicycle seat. Ben said
he'd try.
People Alarmed
So he cranked up the mower
and off with a roar It went. Peo
ple became alarmed. The Brit
ish embassy locked its back gate.
Cain's two French poodles, Mimi
and Shoes, fled In terror having
no mind to get a clipping from
a wild amateur.
Mrs. Cain, who was watching
from the window, put her hands
over her eyes and uttered a sil
ent one.
Cain raced along, dodging
flower beds, embassy back gates
and his house. He didn't, of
course, know how to stop the
thing.
Finally Out of Gas
At length, the mower took a
notion to negotiate several other
lawns in the neighborhood and
eventually found Massachusetts
avenue.
Ben Cain could do nothing
but follow it through heavy
rush hour traffic. Eventually,
after several blocks, the mower
sputtered to a halt, out of gas
and Ben sputtered a sigh of Te-lief.
Later he hired a truck to take
the mower back home.
He's decided to sell the mow
er. Small boys, he's concluded,
do a better job at less cost.
MISSING NO BETS
Hartford, Conn. (U.R) A
youngster was concerned about
his mother's health, but it didn't
let that prevent him from grab
bing an opportunity when he
saw one. When the doctor called
the druggist to order pills, the
boy piped up: "While you're at
it, doctor, order a quart of ice
cream."
