Many Good Ideas
For Outdoor Cooking
As thousands of new fans join
the millions already on the roads
each summer headed for a fav
orite fishing stream, lake resort,
beach or mountain cottage or
other campsite, the traditional
cook-out is becoming an easier,
happier thing.
The food department is light
er, more compact and yet pro
vides a healthy measure of good
eating. Experienced campers
and cabin cookers know that
fancy foods belong to dress-up
occasions: that good, sturdy,
wholesome foods are essential
to outdoors appetites which take
on amazing proportions.
Any food store now offers a
wide array of dehydrated, pro
cessed and concentrated foods
that are ideal for "carrying."
Even though the camp is within
walking distance of a general
store, you will probably carry
with you a supply of canned
and dried foods, cereals, pan
cake and biscuit mix, and the
like for basic meal preparation.
Important to everything one
cooks are seasoning salts, In
stead of carrying along a bag
of onions ar garlic or celery for
seasoning, small jars of onion,
garlic and celery salt take care
of this department; add flavor
and interest to practically any
thing except watermelon. West
erners like black pepper, use
lots of it; better take plenty
along with a full box of salt.
Every skilled fisherman has
his own way of cooking fresh-
caught fish over the open fire.
Some experts roll the cleaned
fish in white corn meal; others
dip the trout in undiluted evap
orated milk then roll in pan
cake flour and fine bread
crumbs. Some wrap fish in strips
of bacon and grill them. We
belong to the crispy fried trout
school.
Crispy Fried Trout
Whatever your fisherman fan
cies, this is basic: Wipe fish dry
after cleaning and washing
quickly. When frying, have skil
let good and hot before putting
in fish. Use just enough butter,
bacon fat or salad oil to keep
fish from sticking, adding more
as needed. Turn carefully with
pancake turner or wide spatula.
Baste with lemon juice or serve
with lemon wedges, as you like.
And never let anyone forget
that the skin is the most wonder
ful part of the fried trout.
6 average trout
1 cup milk.
Vi teaspoon each of celery
salt, onion salt and garlic

V teaspoon ground black
pepper
23 cup white corn meal
12 slices bacon
13 cup butter

Clean trout, remove heads and
tails or not as you prefer. Dip
in milk. Combine seasonings and
sprinkle over fish. Dip in corn
meal. Fry bacon until crisp. Re
serve in warm place. Add butter
to bacon fat. Fry fish gently un
til crisp and brown. Serve garn-

ished with bacon and lemon,
Serves 6. Confidentially, the
above recipe is perfect for any
kind of individual fish and for
fillets, as well.
Other Fine Trout Ways
We realize that you're likely
to have trout and trout and trout
perhaps unto the sixth day. So
you'll need different ways of
doing it.
Salt and pepper and otherwise
season your fish, roll them in
flour and fry in deep shortening
or cooking oiL
Substitute cornmeal for flour
and bacon or ham fat for short
ening or oil.
Roll fish if prepared white
pancake flour and fry in half
and half shortening and bacon
fat.
Camping skillet secret of suc
cess is to take two skillets when
you go camping. Before setting
skillet over open campfire, rub
its underside with bar soap.
Makes for easier washing later.
Laurels For This One
From a Chico fisherman, we
learned this wonderful way with
fish. On your way to camp, stop
in the lower elevations and cut
a few branches of bay (laurel).
When you get ready for this way
with trout, crush a handful or
two of the bay leaves and pad
the bottom of each creel with
them. Go fishing as usual, catch
'cm as usual and drop 'em into
the creel as usual. When the
trout are cleaned and washed,
dump out the spicy leaves, put
in ferns you usually use to pad
your fish for carrying and return
to camp expecting something
just a little different in flavor
ing. Skillet fry the fish.
Just fix this up hi a skillet
and put anyplace where it can
simmer for one hour.

It's the final seasoning dash
that counts when it comes to

SEASONING OF FISH Whether you favorite angler pulls

usual, but make a combination
of equal parts of onion and celry
salts with a liberal dash of garlic

when you first turn the sizzling

Striped Bass Fishermen
and Wives Take Note
Most anglers wives in this part
of the country know how to cook
the occasional fish their hus
bands bring home, but in this
state recipes are rarely published
for preparing striped bass, a fish
not available in the market be
cause the state law reserves it
for port fishing.
Now a fisherman has publish
ed a book titled Striped Bass
Fishing in California and Ore
gon. It has an entire chapter on
ways to prepare striped bass.
Author is Leon Adams of San
Francisco. He not only tells how
to cook "the striper" but also
tells where they're biting today,
how to rig tackle to make mon
sters strike, to troll, cast, fish
with bait ... cook what you
catch. Fun to read, too, with ex
citing fishing yarns and oh! yes,
he tells also about the love life
of "stripers.''
On one thing, most agree. Best
way to prepare striper meat is
in fillets. Don't try to get the
skin off the fillet Instead simply
lay the fish wet with skin down
and slice the fillet off the skin.
Leon Adams says it's easy and
he should know.
2 pounds of fillets
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup sauterne or any white
table wine
3 tablespoons butter
2 sliced tomatoes
M green pepper, sliced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire
sauce
Sprinkle fish fillets with salt
and pepper and cover with the
sliced onion. Pour wine over all
and let soak overnight. Melt but
ter in large shallow baking pan.
Remove and sprinkle with salt.
Bake until fish is tender, about
35 minutes in moderate oven,
375 degrees. (Don't overcook).
Baste frequently with wine in
which the fish was soaked,
mixed with Worcestershire
sauce. Makes four large or six
moderate servings. Especially
tasty when served cold.
Toscanini Settles
Band Players' Tiff
New Albany, Miss. U.R)
Members of the high school
band here recently got into a
heated dispute about: (1) wheth
er musicians must sit erect at all
times; (2) whether Arturo Tos
canini sits during rehearsals.
John White, who was repri
manded for slumping in his
chair, took pen in hand and
wrote Toscanini. He received a
letter from the conductor's son,
Walter, which said in part:
"In reply to your question, my
father never sits during a re
hearsal. Some conductors do but
he has never been in the habit of
it and it is just impossible for
him ... As for the men in the
orchestra, it would be impos
sible for them to play well if
they did not sit erect"
Pollution Rules
Cut Smote Content
Chicago (U.W.-jrThe American
Municipal Association says air
pollution ordinances have been
effective in reducing the smoke
and dirt content in air over
cities.
A survey by the Municipal
League of Seattle and King
County showed, however, that
cooperation in enforcement of
the ordinances was lacking from
the general public.
Industry, which has to bear
much of the expense in provid
ing smoke-abatement devices,
displayed much more interest in
solving the problem.
Cost of enforcement of the air
pollution ordinances varies from
city to city, depending on the
number of people employed in
enforcement. Tacoma, Wash.,
budgets about $9,000 a year for
this purpose; Minneapolis, Minn.,
$15,000; Pittsburgh, $50,000; St
Louis. $100,000, and Los Angeles
with its combination smog and
Lsmoke problem, has a budget of.
nearly half a million dollars.
In every case the surveyed
cities found enforcement of the
air pollution ordinance was made
easier as soon as the public and
industry cooperated in solving
the problem. Penalties were
used only when it became ob
vious that cooperation was not
forthcoming.
Penalties show a wide varia
tion. Peoria, 111., has a fine sys
tem ranging to $100, while Winston-Salem,
S. C, can take as
much as $500 from an offender.
St. Louis, Mo., and Los Angeles

demeanor. Insults Flare as

Maine Retired Skippers' Race
Sept 11.
The preliminary comments
have been salty.
Capt. Horace Griffin of Port
land, a 79-year-old retired Casco
Bay seaman, tossed in his entry
with the comment that last
year's winner "isn't fit to handle
a dory-load of geraniums."
Capt. Phil Haskell of Deer
Isle, whose sloop was first over
the finish line last year, loftily
recalls that Bucksport skippers
had insulted Deer Isle seamen in
similar fashion before the 1952
race.
The Bucksport deep-water
men had gibed that Deer Isle
sailors were really "mostly lob
stermen, clam diggers and the
like."
A retired skipper must be at
least 65 years old to compete in
the race.
CANDLE GUESS
Berwick, Pa. (U.R) Mrs. An

authority here on burning the
candle at least at one end. Her
guess of 138 hours five minutes

test to determine how long a

candle was lit in honor of the
