Spiced Canned Pears Here spices, cinnamon and . cloves with the added tang of lemon juice enhance the natural sweetness and preserve all the distinctive pear flavor for which pears from Pacific Coast or chards are famous. These make good salad, too! 1 No. ZVz can pears Juice from the pears Vi cup lemon juice 1 stick cinnamon or 1 stick cinnamon or Vi teaspoon ground cinnamon 8 whole cloves Heat fruit with lemon juice.

Big Push on Western Lamb Good Eating, Low Cost Now is the time to give the rniw its fill of wonaenui, w vorful western lamb. Looks as though the biggest lamb crop ever is moving toward the con sumer. And that means very rea sonable prices! hot To many meal planners, lamb means loin and rib chops and legs of lamb. It so happens how ever that the lamb has many other fine parts that make mighty good easing and that cost considerably less than the popular hind quarters. Some cuts are big bargains. ' The lamb shoulder offers all kinds of possibilities. It can be boned, rolled and stuffed with any favored dressing. Or it may be served square-cut with the bone in. Chops can be cut from the shoulder first with ample meat left for roasting. Lamb Shanks, which means the front legs, are another good buy; just as tender and flavorful as fancy chops. Lamb riblets cost only a few cents a pound are popular with barbecuers. Lamb stews and ground lamb burgers offer further good ideas at very low cost and braised lamb breast is-the bargain of the year and makes very good eating. Lamb Broiler Meal ' Lamb patties, cooked potato halves and canned pear halves make a very good broiler meal Combine one pound ground lamb, one teaspoon salt, one-half cup top milk and form into six patties half an inch thick. Place on heated broiler rack." Place six cooked potato, halves on rack. Brush With melted butter, Place broiler pah so top of pat ties are three inches from heat source. Broil about five minutes or until patties are well brown ed. Turn. , Place six canned pear halves brushed with butter on rack Continue broiling 5 to 10 min utes or until meat, potatoes and pears are browned. Fill hollow of pears with dab of red jelly or cranberry relish. Arrange on hot platter and serve at once. Fruit Salad Dressing It's different! It's good! Grate rind from one orange and one lemon so ' you have one table spoon of rind. Combine with juice from both fruits, one-half cup honey and one beaten egg. Cook and stir until mixture thickens slightly. Cool. Use any fruit combination. Cheese Custard Pie With Baked-Tomatoes Bananas The baked cheese custard is so good. We mention the toma toes and bananas in the headline because they go so perfectly with the cheese dish; look so handsome when served and taste so good in combination. A hearty luncheon or supper specialty for family and friends.

(U.R) A Burmese named U Anug Baw visited these parts in an effort to determine whether bulldozers and donkey engines can replace elephant power in the teak- wood forest along the Road to Mandalay. ft U Aung Baw is studying Pa cific Northwest forestry prac tices under sponsorship of the United Nations. He is a member of the Burma State Timber Board and hopes to find an ef fective method of . changing his country's teak logging industry from elephant to mechanical power. Not that he is knocking ele phants. They make very good beasts of burden in the jungle. They can find their own food, can be trained almost to think for themselves, cost only about $2,000 .apiece and don't require spare parts. But two-thirds of Burma's elephant population was de stroyed during World War II, and there just aren't enough ele phants to go around in that land where the dawn comes up like thunder. "Burma now has about 1.800 elephants," he said. "About half of these are owned by the government." A good elephant can pull up to five tons of lumber, Baw said. The elephants pull the teak along the ground. They are trained when they are five or six years old and work until they are about 55. They are able to do an elephant- size job of work when they reach 18 years of age. baking for about 15 minutes. '. Perfect ending for a festive dinner.

'DIFFERENT' CLOTHES CAN HURT CHILD PERMANENTLY Nothing is more embarrassing to a child than to' be dressed dif ferently from other children. Parents should realize this. (Q) "My husband likes to go away io hunt for several weeks : every fall, while I stay home. ' He is always saying that we ' haven't enough money lo buy : the children clothes. My older son, age 10 years, needs a new . suit. Children grow out of clothes so quickly, and my hus- band says it is just throwing ' money away to get new ones all the time. My son has io go to church in his school jacket. I feel he should have a suit so he can be like the other chil dren. I watched last Sunday to see if there were any oth ers with jackets on. There wasn't one. Even folks who, we think, are poorer than we are have clothes for their chil dren. I told my husband that if we hadn't enough money to buy the children clothes, he shouldn't go off hunting. But he went just the same. Am I right?" (A) Clothes for your children are certainly more important than a hunting trip for your husband. Even if he needs a vacation- from his work, he can get a change by doing things t home. . - Studies have revealed that wearing "different" clothes often does permanent damage to chil dren's personalities. It makes them so self-conscious that they develop inferiority complexes which affect everything they do. Your son ' is "at an age ' af which being "different" is a source of real concern. I am sure he realizes that the other boys see that he is wearing "school clothes" to church and that many of the parents discuss this at home, in front of the children, wondering whether you are too poor to buy your son clothes. These boys will let him know, sooner or later, how they feel about the matter. If your husband refuses to give you money for the chil dren's clothes, open a charge ac count in a store and buy them. When he gets the bills, he will then have to decide whether he has enough money to hunt or not. . (Copyright 1955. General Features Corp.)

The single mosquito bite re sulted in a new mosquito-abatement district expected to begin operations in 1955 in a South side area covering 350 square miles and embracing . 759,000 persons living in more than 40 municipalities. The project had its beginning 15 years ago when the three-year-old girl suffered paralyzing encephalitis which doctors blamed on the bite of a mosquito. Her health was restored slow ly and painfully, but her father, who asked that his identity be undisclosed,, became interested in the subject of mosquito con trol and began enlisting the aid of civil bodies. Association Formed Aiding him was Mrs. Phyllis Cowan, who entertained various civic organizations in her home along with municipal, township and district county officials until thier cooperation had been won. From this war formed the South ; Cook . County Mosquito Abatement Association with an assessed tax valuation of $1,200, 000,000. It is expected to spend nearly $270,000 annually to fight mosquitoes. ' ? Voters of the area approved the proposition creating the dis trict in the election of Nov. 4, 1952 and the Cook County court appointed five trustees as the "body politic and corporate" of the agency. ; Lt. Col. Jay Buchannon, a vet eran of public health campaigns in Korea and Indo-China, will act as engineer and manager of the district. Meanwhile; the father who started the whole thing said his daughter is "now a fine, healthy ycung lady of 18, ready to grad uate from high school, who can see the tangible results of the illness -she ence suffered as re-. suit of a mosquito bite.
