Wilh Natural Cheddar Cheese
From green pasture lands and
cheese factories of the Pacific
slope come an abundance of
versatile cheddar (good old yel
low American; cheese to aid the
meal planner and to please the
family. No west coaster will
argue with when we say that
no cheddar cheese in all the
world surpasses, and few com
pare, with the product of our
own dairy lands. The quality
and goodness of the fine trade
marked varieties seems never to
vary; an amazing tribute to the
skill of our cheese makers. With
infinite patience snd highly pro
fessional know-how, they convert
close to five quarts of top-grade
whole milk into each and every
pound of full-flavored cheddar.
West coasters eat an average
of 7Vi pounds of cheese per per
son per year; mostly properly
aged cheddar. It has excellent
'nutritive values, high digestibil
ity; fits into any meal or time
of day; can be "cooked" in a
thousand different ways or en
joyed "as is." Very reasonable
in price! V.'nat are we waiting
for? Put in a supply and dress
up many meals.
C -f Sauce Variations
Fresh or leftover vegetables,
any of the macaroni products
and potatoes become a fine main
dish when grated cheese is added
to a medium white sauce. Add
cheese to your taste and stir
until cheese melts. Fine added
flavor and color are achieved
by adding a bite of chopped pi
miento, chopped green pepper,
chopped stuffed olives, green on
ion tops, a handful of parsley,
some celery seed, caraway seed
or finely chopped sweet purple
onion.
Store perishable cheese as you
do milk in refrigerator in a
tightly covered container. Most
agree however that cheese tastes
best when served at room tem
perature and of course it com
bines more readily with other
ingredients for cooking when
used at room temperature. Ma
jor rule for cooking cheese mix
tures is to always cook at low
temperatures; do not overcook.
Get cheese into small pieces be
fore combining with other in
gredients for quick cooking and
even distribution of its flavorful
goodness.

You're SURE of the BEST If It's JORGENSEN'S
Gallup, N.M. (U.R) Four and
a half years ago a Gallup radio
station owner decided it would
be a nice gesture to put on a
daily program for the 75,000 res
ident of the Navajo Indian Res
ervation. It was a gamble. The Navajos
are known for their reluctance
to adopt the white man's ways.
They cling to old tribal customs,
and radio listening was not one
of them.
Today the Navajo program of
station KGAK is rolling along
as a commercial success about 25
different sponsors and station
owner Merle Tucker recently
won an Alfred I. DuPont award
for his unique effort in the field
of radio entertainment.
The program claims an audi
ence of 45,000 Indians, many of
whom huddle around battery-operated
radios in their crude mud
hogans to hear news in their na
tive tongue.
Some Barriers
Tucker and Dana Begay, a
Navajo interpreter who helped
start the program and still con
ducts it, said the biggest stum
bling block is getting modern
ideas across with the limited and
old fashioned Navajo vocabu
lary. Commercials have been
servings for hungry people.
Shellfish Variation. Turn this
into a' shrimp dish by putting
shrimp, whole or cut, amongst
the tomatoes ... or use cooked
crabmeat.
Cheese and Baked Bean
Sandwich Makes Main Dish
Another specialty of the Tilla
mook cheese country is this
sandwich that borrows from the
popular beans and brown bread
tradition of New England.
Arrange thick slices of but
tered brown bread on a shallow
baking pan. Top each slice with
a generous spoonful of baked
beans in tomato sauce and a
slice of nippy whole milk natural
cheddar cheese. Bake in mod
erate, 400 degree, oven for about
10 minutes or until sandwich is
heated through and the cheese
starts to melt. Place under broil
er to puff and brown the cheese.
Serve at once.
Variations. For further inter
est or a change, top beans with
thin slice of luncheon meat or
frankfurters, sliced or halved . .
or with thin slices of sweet Span
ish onion or a tomato slice be
fore adding the cheese.
Not a Minute Too Early
To Plan Easier Eggs
Decorating Easter eggs is a
creative adventure for the chil
dren; results in good eating for
the entire family. Egg prices are
so modest this year that the
children can be indulged pretty
much to their hearts content
when.it comes to fixing Easter
eggs. For the decorating of hard
cooked eggs, we suggest that you
provide the children with the
eggs and one of those wonderful
decorting kits that experts have
developed and that is available
at all grocery stores. Read the
directions to the children and
then leave them to their own
devices. Give them a "trial run"
now; save the big job for next
week-end.
The results would probably
startle any self-respecting rab
bit out of a month's growth but
the children will love their
works of art. And that's the im
portant thing! For 75 years, the
largest of the egg dyeing and
decorating companies has been
enlarging its ideas until today it
offers coloring tablets, transfers,
metallic gummed seals, magic
writer crayon, an "Easter basket
box, egg drying tray, wire egg
dipper, fascinating multicolor
process . . . and even Disney
Dress-Ups to delight youngsters.
Cost is a trifle. Fun is unlimited!
Stores important. When the
last egg is decorated and ad
mired, put them in the refrig
erator where, of course, the
Easter rabbit will find them and
hide them about the house or
garden during the night. The
morning's egg hunt is just as
exciting as though the children
had never seen the eggs before.
Remember?
How lo Make Cascarones
Cascarones (pronounced kaska
rones) are those wonderful emp
ty eggshells that are so easy, to
dc and so much fun especially
when filled with confetti and
thrown casually at some unsus
pecting person. First of course,
they're used as Easter table dec
oration. The flat end of the un
cooked egg is gently chipped
to make a hole about an eighth
of an inch across. The more
pointed end is punctured with an
ice pick. Blowing through the
smaller hole forces the egg out
of the larger hole; a fascinating
experience for children. After
drying a short time, the smaller
hole is sealed with a bit of
colored paper or scotch tape.
Confetti, optional, is poured in
the large hole which then is
sealed. Best to decorate these
fragile shells with decals or
paste-ons. Use egg contents for
scrambles, omelets, custards, egg
drinks, angelfood or yellow
cakes.
worked out with ingenious use
of sound effects.
One sponsor, for example, sells
condensed milk in cans. The
commercial opens with the 'moo'
of a milk cow and the announcer
follows with a careful descrip
tion of the can which the milk
come in finally he gets around
to making a sales pitch.
A different recorded "moo" is
used to introduce a commercial
for "Bull of the Woods" brand
chewing tobacco.
For his 90-minute afternoon
show, Begay serves up mostly
recorded music and news. The
music leans heavily toward west
ern songs requested by listeners,
although from time to time Be
gay will play recordings of au
thentic Indian music.
Begay translates news stories
from a United Press teletype into
the Navajo dialect. This is often
a process of simplification. Many
English words have no Navajo
counterpart.
If there is news of a new med
ical discovery, for instance, Be
gay will not go beyond the term
"medicine" to tell what it is, but
he can give a generous descrip
tion of what it does.
"I've found that I have to give
a complete newscast, including
science and world affairs, be
cause the Navajos are just as in
terested in those things as any
one else," Begay said.
Another maor source of pro
gram materials is the 80 or more
letters Begay gets every day
from tribesmen, many including
announcements of tribal meet
ings and social events to be read
on the air.
KGAK also has a junior edi
tion of the Navajo program in
the Zuni Indian language. This
is conducted by a Zuni, Fred
Bowannie, and consists solely of
news and Zuni music.
Sentiment Growing
For Reds' Release
Washington (U.R) A grow
ing number of American of
ficials feels the United States
should release a group of Chi
nese scholars who want to re
turn to Red China, informed
sources said today.
The sources also disclosed
that the number of Chinese seek
ing to return to their home land
is increasing. The State Depart
ment last year said the total was
35. Officials declined to say
exactly how many now wish to
return to their homeland but in
dicated the total is about 40.
Any decision to let the group
go back to Red China would im
prove America's moral position
and strengthen the hand of
United Nations Secretary-General
Dag Hammarskjold who is
trying to free 15 American fliers
jailed in Communist China. With
an eye to' winning freedom of
the airmen, the United States
recently helped arrange return
to Red China of several Chinese
fishermen who had been rescued
from a reef off the Philippine
Islands.
International Food
Agency Proposed
Washington U.R) The Sen
ate has been urged to go on rec
ord in favor of an international
agency to relieve farm surplus
problems and, at the same time
combat Communism by fighting
hunger and starvation.
Two proposals dealing with
the same t general subject mat
ter were prepared for introduc
tion in the Senate. Sens. James
E. Murray (D-Mont.) and W.
Kerr Scott (D-N.C.) were the
principal sponsors.
Scott's bill would authoize ne
gotiations to establish a "world
food bank" from which nations
could borrow food and fiber
and repay the loans in kind, in
other raw materials or in cash.
That bill had Murray as a co
sponsor. Murray's own bill would au
thorize the creation of an inter
national food and materials re
seve. That would serve the same
general purpose and Scott, along
with a number of other senators,
was listed as a co-sponsor.
