Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT feetf Editor Autumn Applet Unsurpassed For Eatina. Salsa. Deeeart Sixty million apple trees are busy turning out Autumn's new bright, irresistible, fragrant, . Crisn and dpliriniia onnlM 1tT our enjoyment. There are few u any eaung aeiigms to surpass Kinking one's teeth Into an apple It melts in the mouth. : The State of Washington takes vast and. proper pride in the fact that It produces about one third of all the apples grown in America. There's something special about the way nature's elements combine in ideal soils and brisk climate to make north western Pacific slopes ideal for apple 'erowine. California and Oregon also bvt uiiguby xme tipples, but both states bow to the su perior quantity and variety corn ing from "America's Apple Bowl." Six of the country's lead ing varieties are grown in Wash ington State. . Jonathan The early harveste Jonathan is brilliant ted, crisp and luicv.

Excellent all-purpose for eating, cooking, baking. Available late December to June. . Yellow Newtown. This green yellow to bright yellow apple of distinctive flavor comes along in January and stays with us until June because of its excep tional keeping qualities. Selection and Storing In selecting apples try to get those that have good color for their variety and are firm to the touch. Big apples tend to mature more rapidly than the smaller ones. ' ,In handling apples remember that warm temperatures hasten the ripening process and cause apples to rapidly lose their cri3p ncss and tangy flavor. - Keep re serve supplies in the refriger ator or some equally cool spot and they'll be at their best when you're ready for them. New Ways With Apples For a salad of distinction try this "dressy" Waldorf.. Combine two cups diced unpeeied red De licious apples, one cup halved and seeded purple grapes, one CUD choDDed celerv nnri nno.l,,ii cup chopped walnuts. Add chop- ycu tcieiy jbsi io prevent the celery "weeping". Serve with mayonnaise, cooked dressing or fruit salad dressing. To potato salad add chopped unpeeied red apple for a sur prise flavor treat. - Cottage cheese gains a brisk lively texture and flavor when served with wedges of tender, Juicy, unpeeied red apples. . Cole slaw makers will find new taste delight simply by add ing unpeeied diced red apple bits. Crab, shrimp or tuna salad has new color, texture and taste interest with apple added. ' v Ham and apple salad makes a main dish. Core four to six un peeied red Delicious, apples and dice them. Sprinkle well with one-fourth cup lemon Juice. Com bine with four cups diced cooked ham, two cups diced celery and two-thirds cup mayonnaise or salad dressing and mix lightly. Arrange on crisp greens. Enough for qight servings. , Mashed Potato Surprise New and inviting is combin ation of grated fresh red apples with whipped potatoes. Select red Delicious and plan about half an apple per serving. Core, peel and grate apples. Add to mashed potatoes. Maybe a pinch of cin namon and a little extra milk to make, smooth and creamy. Salt and pepper as usual. Ideas for Halloween Fun For Parties and Tricksters Pile high a basket or bowl with polished red apples; have handy plenty of walnuts, al monds, soft shell pecans and fil berts; a whopping big bowl of freshly popped corn and per haps a bowl of raisins' . . . and a gallon or so of chilled cider . , . and you've got yourself a 'fine party with practically no effort Plenty of paper napkins for "tot ing.". ,v -. The foregoing refreshments will satisfactorily take care of a planned party and also the fam ily hand-outs for the giggling happy trick-or-treaters who seem to love collecting food. . A jack-o-lantern In the win dow can be either-real or a paper product. Any of the many Hal loween symbols on the front door weirdly welcome the cos tumed wayfarer; lets him know there's a kindred '.'spirit" inside, adds to the fun for all the fam ily., : Doughnut Dunks Easy to do. Heat plain bake shop or home-made doughnuts in hot oven, 400 degrees, about nve minutes or until heated through. Serve with bowls of powdered sugar ' along with spiced sugar made by mixing one teaspoon cinnamon and one-half cup powdered sugar, Orange Jack-O-Lanterns Cut off top of an orange scoop out center (save it for sal ads or ambrosia), cut out the face and place a small candle in each orange shell. Hold candle in place with half toothpick stick ing from tne end of the candle through bottom of the orange. Leave room dimly lighted and ettect will be appropriately weira. Cider Delights ' Cider as it comes from the jub, but chilled. Perhaps it can not. De improved upon. Nature aoes a mighty fine job on it. However, if you want a cider punch, mix one quart cider and three-fourths cup lemon juice. Sweeten to taste: strain into a "punch bowl over large piece of ice. Just before serving, add one quart charged water. Hot spiced cider looks even more intriguing with a slice of orange or lemon which has been notcnea around edge to give cartwheel effect and has clove stuck in center. For a hot cider, Don one quart cider and spices (two whole allspice, two whole cloves in a spice bag) five min utes. Remove spice bag and add one cup sugar; boil five minutes more. Stir or muddle briefly witn cinnamon sticks. Serve hot. Fix this before guests arrive and V X w , ".

Plenty of Tree Nuts For Making Good Things This year's tree nut crop Is tremendous in three important kinds. The almond crop of 97,' 000,000 pounds is the largest on record; the walnut crop of 161 000,000 pounds ranks third larg est and filberts also are having their third largest crop of nearly 20,000,000 pounds. California produces the al monds, Oregon and California produce the walnuts and Wash ington and Oregon produce the filberts which of course are the popular cultivated hazelnuts of the Pacific Northwest. Nut Bread Loaf A delight beyond words.-Use almonds, walnuts or filberts; perhaps one variety one time, another the next for entirely different but satisfying results. Vi cup shortening . - , Vt cup sugar V4 cup corn syrup or honey 1 egg 2 cups sifted enriched flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1" teaspoon salt , SA cup milk . 1 cup chopped nuts.

Bake in greased loaf pan in mod erate, 350 degree oven, IVi hours. Makes one super loaf. Almond Raisin Spread Combine plentiful almonds with plentiful raisins in this sandwich which is good open face as well as sandwiched. Won derful for school or after school. Good for tea parties, too. Chop one-half cup unbleached al monds; rinse, drain and slice one- half cup seedless raisins. Com bine with one package cream cheese (three ounce), two table spoons mayonnaise, drop or two of tabasco sauce, salt to taste and sufficient cream to give spreading consistency; stir until well blended. . Makes about one cup of spread. v Toasting Filberts For extra full rich flavor, toast nuts before chopping. Place shelled, nuts in a 'shallow pan. Heat in over at 250 degrees fur 15 to 20 minutes. The brown skin encasing the nut may be rubbed off if desired. Toasting not only accents the flavor but makes the nut more crunchy.

The slender star, . for 20 years the most famous and highest paid fan tonfta In Ajm.Mo.br the world, started an unusual musical ver sion of the classic, "Daddy Long Legs" with (French ballet star Leslie Caron at 20th ' Century Fox studio'. But Fred's familiar turns In his top hat, white tie and tails are done in the "show must go on" tradition. Wife Died Last month his wife for 21 years, Phyllis, died at the age of 46. . "When I thought she'd still be in the hospital I told the studio I wouldn't do the picture, be cause she was my life and I had to be with her," he explained. "Then they closed everything up at home and it was over. "I told the studio to get a singer for the role and re-write the story. But they'd been plan ning on this for a year, and Les lie had other commitments.' The film had to be done. So I'm nere," he said with a smile, "be cause they closed in on me." Astaire's marriage never made the headlines because it was a happy, lasting one. The couple married in 1933 and lived quiet ly here with their three children. They never were apart one day of their married life. One of their Interests was race horses. - "I still have two horses that I'll race this year," he said. "The horses were such a part of our personal life. "My wife was 46," he said, "but she was as young and pretty and graceful as the day I met her." No Retirement ' " . Astaire said he has no plans as yet to retire from dancing, "and when I do, I'm not going to tell anybody." His first "retirement" didn't stick. "Six years ago I said I'd quit and I got into all sorts of trouble," he said. "Frankly, I quit after 'Blue Skies' because I didn't want to do the picture MGM had for me. I was tired of playing the character who chases after girls. "I stayed away two years. Then Gene Kelly hurt his foot and asked me to take over 'East er Parade.' It was a good idea to Thursday.
