Abundance of Vegetables
We west coasters, unlike the
rest of the nation, revel in year
found abundance of fresh vege
tables. February finds plenty
of snowy cauliflowers, golden
carrots, crisp celery, firm heads
of lettuce, good quality Russet
potatoes, yellow Danver Oregon
grown onions as well as white
ones, vitamin packed green pep
pers; good supplies of versatile
cabbage for menu planning both
cooked - and uncooked; winter
squash for steaming and baking,
rutabagas, parsnips and turnips
for buttering.
Rhubarb is coming in, herald
ing Spring. Practically every
other vegetable is available;
some in light supply, however,
which means higher prices.
Pimitnlo Stuffed Green
Olivet Add Color, Flavor
Olives of various kinds are
standard cupboard equipment
for the fixing of relish dishes.
There are whole ripe, pitted ripe,
green-ripe, spiced French style,
whole green, pitted gre, spiced
green olives and there are green
olives stuffed with pimiento,
with Spanish sweet pepper, al
monds, onion-flavored melon or
anchovies.
Most versatile of this marvel
ous assortment probably is the
pimiento - stuffed green olive
which has many ingredient uses
as well as being ideal as a relish
and as a party-goer. Now seems
as good a place as any to men
tion that 99 per cent of the olive
acreage in the United Stales is
in California.

good idea. You probably don't
need a recipe, but here is one
just ' in case. Combine one-half
cup vinegar, one-third cup sugar,
one cup sour cream, one. tea
spoon salt, dash of pepper; stir
until sugar is dissolved. Add this
cream mixture and one-half
sliced pimiento - stuffed green
olives to six cups finely shred
ded cabbage and mix thorough
ly. Dust with paprika and serve.
Egg Equivalents. Eight med
ium size eggs in shell equals one
pound; 10 medium size eggs
without shell equals one pound.
Eight egg whites make one cup.
Sixteen egg yolks make one cup.
Celery Casserole
Use crunchy, sweet - flavored
celery in this easy way to make
main dish.
Cut celery into short lengths.
Drop into small amount of boil
ing water and cook only until
tender, about 15 minutes. In
buttered baking dish place alter
nate layers of cooked celery,
medium white sauce and grated
mellow cheese. Sprinkle with
fine dry crumbs, dot with butter
and brown in moderate oven.
Toasted Carrols
. Colorful, vitamin A-rich car
rots are on the best buy list. The
carrot growers do declare that
the carrots with fresh green
tops are fresher than the topped
ones. Use them raw in salads and
use them cooked: just a little
bit fancy like this. Six servings.
Cook 12 small whole carrots in
small amount of boiling salted
water until just tender; about 15
minutes. Dip each carrot in salad
oil one-fourth cup, then in fine
ly crushed cereal flakes (about
IV2 cups) to which one teaspoon
salt and one-eighth ' teaspoon
pepper have been : added. Ar
range in pan and brou until j
cereal flakes are toasted, about
five minutes. Baste twice with
any remaining oil while toast
ing, v
Avocado Salad Dressing
Winter lettuce is at its abun-
ant best. Crisp, firm-headed
"Iceberg" lettuce teams up with
peak-of-the-season avocados to
make a very fine salad.
Line four salad plates with
crisp, deep-green outer leaves of
lettuce head. Quarter remainder
of lettuce and arrange a wedge
on each plate. For a change
from your usual homemade or
commercial dressing, this is cer
tain to please:
Into 2-3 cup mashed or sieved
avocado stir one-half teaspoon
salt, one tablespoon fresh lemon
juice, a few drops of tabasco
sauce and three tablespoons
mayonnaise or sour cream. Add
chopped parsley and a teaspoon
of . finely cut green onions or
chives. Makes one cup. dressing;
about right for four servings.
February Fruit Plate. On a
bed of Iceberg lettuce (shredded)
arrange fresh grapefruit see
tions, redskinned Delicious apple
slices, cubes of Anjou pear,
orange slices and avocado rings.
Serve with light French dress
ing. AH salads need not neces
sarily look alike.
Broiled Anjou Pears
Fit Many Menu Rolei
Plenty of d' Anjou pears for
tempting between-meal or late
evening snack "as is," for salad
enjoyment and for serving as
dessert course along with cheese
and crackers. -
Pre-ripening of pears is often
done at' the wholesale level but
if the pears are not ripe when
purchasd the process may be
hastened by leaving at room
temperature for : a few days.
They are best if ripened in a
room with high humidity. To
hold pears until ready to serve,
place in refrigerator.
. Broiled pears fit into many
a , menu role as meat accom
paniment, salad or dessert.
For meat accompaniment,
halve and core fresh pears and
place on broiler pan about six
inches below source of heat. It
will take seven or eight min
utes to broil the pears, depend
ing upon their ripeness. Tip
pears with bit of butter and
brown sugar before broiling.
'- As salad, a broiled pear is an
-unexpected pleasure when
topped with mayonnaise about
half way through the broiling
process. Mayonnaise will bubble
and brown. .
Quick easy pear dessert is
achieved, by topping ripe pear
half with a fruit sauce after
broiling. Or put a marshmallow
on pear half and broil just long
enough to melt and brown the
Delight the family's sweet
tooth or fix this quick caramel
corn for parties. The children

corn. Place one-half package of

amels are melted and the sauce
is smooth. Pour over the pop
corn and toss until every kernel
is coated. Spread on a lightly
greased . cookie sheet and let

mix with three-eighths cup but

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE
Owners Sought for War Bond Found On Chinese Youth
Seattle (U.R) Harvey Har
old Meier, or his wife, Marion
Elinor Meier, wherever they
may be, are $25 richer than they
might think they are.
A matured U.S. Savings Bond
is in the possession of a Seattle
man, and the bond is made out
to the Meiers. Their address
when they purchased the bond
in September, 1944, was Post
Office Box 277, Quantico, Va.
Ward Beecher, who has the
certificate, believes it might
have come to him via Southeast
Asia. Beecher, great-grandson of
the noted minister, Henry Ward
Alamos in southern Sonora,
Mexico, is kept alive largely
through the Mexican jumping
bean. Each July and August res
ident pick and package the
world's supply of brincadores
(jumpers). The beans "jump" be
cause the larva of Carpocapsa
saltitans, a gray moth, inhabits
the bean and butts the inside
wall with its head.
The Antarctic, or brown, skua
gull will dive-bomb a man from
any direction, inflicting blows
from front, flank, or rear. The
great skua of the Nqrth Atlantic
will attack only from the rear.
Beecher, found the bond among
the personal effects of a Chinese
youth, Cher Wee-tong. ..
Beecher met Cher, when both
were assigned to a unit of the
Office of Strategic Services in
Yunan Province of China during
World War II. The Chinese was
interpreter, messenger, mechan
ic and jack-of -all-trades for the
Americans. He impressed Beech
er with his intelligence, and
Beecher promised to educate
him after the war. ,
Meanwhile, Beecher went to
Budapest as U. S. -vice consul
there.' Wee-tong went to Bang
kok, Siam, where his family
had moved from China. Late in
1947, Maj. Nicoll Smith, anoth
er member of the OSS unit, paid
Wee-tong's passage to this coun
try, and Beecher and his father
brought the Chinese youth to
Seattle and entered him in Edi
son Technical School. But with
in a month, Wee-tong was dead
of Hodgkin's disease.
Beecher's father found the
bond among Wee-tong's few be
longings and wrote to the Quan
tico post office box. The letter
came back marked "address un
known." He then wrote to the
U.S. Treasury Department, but
its files could not help find the
Meiers.
The elder Beecher died last
3'ear and Ward Beecher came
across the bond among his. fa
ther's effects.
The Meiers can communicate
with Beecher in care of radio
station KAYO, Seattle.
