Spiced Pears Fine Wiih Pork
And With Plentiful Lamb
- So many good things avail
able and ready to choose from
There are fine winter pears in
fresh fruit displays and there
are plenty of Bartletts available
in cans; all from our own west
ern orchards.
There's plenty of lamb from
western ranges and a good sup
ply of pork at modest cost
Spiced pears are the perfect
complement for both lamb and
pork. So let's fix some.
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!

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.
Add spices and simmer three
minutes. Poun over pears. Let
stand over night in refrigerator.
Six servings.
Pork Kabobs (Pictured)

western grown filberts.

- filberts, you certainly can use
other nuts or even mixed nuts.)
. Put between layers of p o r k
chops on long skewers. Bake in
350 degree oven for 1 hour. Ana
be sure to serve with the spiced
pears.
Soiced Pear Juice
Ever wonder what to do with
the pear juice when you take
the pear halves from tne can
for salads or for broiling or for
dessert? Here are good ideas.
The remaining pear juice is
ideal in combination with other
fruit juices for dinner cocktail
or breaiuast eye opeuei.
The children will delight m
frozen pear juice cubes made
righx in the ice cube tray in. the
refrigerator. '
Frozen pear juice cubes are a
good dea for , the punch bowl.

as conversational interest!

frozen or in the can, Pacific
oysters make a fine quick lunch
or supper dish. Plenty of lemon

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. Six servings.
5 eggs, separated, - .

Burmese Studies
Forestry Practices
Seattle, Wash. (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.

'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. .

Mosquito Bife
Launches Program
Chicago (U.R) A single mos
quito that bit a three-year-old
girl launched a project that is
expected to kill off millions of
the insects.
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.
