Family Six Imiint
Nonfat Milk Popular
A new family-size economy
package of sweet non-fat milk
instantly makes up to three gal
lons of milk as required by
family usage; brings it to mar
ket at even greater savings. The
family package was developed
when surveys revealed that 25
per cent of shopper bought two
or more packages of nonfat dry
milk at a time.
The familiar one poilnd pack
age makes 5 quarts and the con
venient pre-measured package
which contains three individual
envelopes makes three quarts.
Nutrition. Nonfat dry milk
gives the family milk nourish
ment without the fat; leaves
good supplies of protein, calcium
and - riboflavin which are . all
necessary for buoyant health.
Uses. The product fills all the
milk uses; good for drinking, in
cooking, baking, with cereals
and is widely used in powder
form in receipes for quick
breads, puddings, et cetera. When
nonfat dry milk is added as bak
ing ingredient, it goes right in
with the other dry ingredients.
Storage. Nonfat dry milk pack
age keeps almost indefinitely on
a cool dry pantry shelf if the
package is closed carefully after
each using. -Veal
Slew Distinction
If your family expects oc
casional meals that are quite dif
ferent . . . and wonderfully good,
they'll applaud this.
Flour and brown cubes of
veal stew meat. Add water to not
quite cover; cover pan and sim
mer one hour. Then add 12 seed
ed prunes, juice of one orange,
one tablespoon each vinegar and
sugar and a dash of cloves.
Cover v and ' cook another hour.
Rice or egg noodles are especial
ly good with this.
Sharp Cheese. The longer
cheddar cheese is .aged, the
sharper its flavor becomes;
therefore, when a cheddar
cheese is labelled "sharp" that
usually means it has been aged
ten months or more.' Mild ched
dar is aged six months or less;
medium sharp, nine . months or
less. .
Low Sodium Diet. Fresh lem
on blended with salt-free butter
makes an excellent seasonmg
for vegetables and meats if you
are one of the many on a low-
sodium diet.
Fruit Crisp Uses
Mixed Dried Fruit
An inspiration! Many of our
fine west coast fruits combine
in a dried fruit package; prunes,
apricots, pears and apples or
figs. Top them with brown sugar,
spices, flour and butter brown
ed and crispy.
1 11-ounce package mixed
dried fruit
1 tablespoon lemon juice ,
23 cup brown sugar, packed
V4 cup flour
V2 tablespoon cinnamon
Va teaspoon nutmeg
V4 cup butter or margarine
Cover fruit with water and
boil 30 minutes or until tender.
Drain, reserving liquid. Cut
fruit into, bite-size pieces, re
moving prune pits and pear
cores. Place in shallow baking
dish. Combine one-fourth cup
cooking liquid with lemon juice
and pour over fruits. Blend re
maining ingredients until crum
bly and sprinkle on top. Bake in
in the school's cafeteria.
Audrey Jones, school secre
tary, said a man telephoned the
school at 10:30 a.m. and said a
bomb would go off in the caf
eteria at 11:45 a.m. She said the
man demanded $100 but broke
off the call when the secretary
tried to stall him so the call
could be traced. .
' After Principal Olin Wills con
ferred with Purcell, the school
was ordered evacuated until 1
p.m. so a search could be made.
There were about 1750 stu
dents at the school.
The threat was similar to one
at Vancouver, Wash., yesterday
when 'the school was evacuated,
but no bomb found.
Tax Commissioners
To Talk Tree Valuation
All three members of the Ore
gon State Tax Commission will
be in Medford next Thursday,
April 28, for a 1 p.m. meeting
with orchard operators and oth
ers, .it was announced today.
The meeting will involve the
reappraisal of property which
has been under way in the
county for several years. Sam
uel B. Stewart a member of the
commission, pointed out that the
reappraisal of land has not re
flected the value of trees on the
property. The commission feels
it should do so, but orchardists
have protested, he said.
The other two commissioners
Ray Smith and Carl Chambers,
will be here with Stewart. Any
interested taxpayer is invited to
attend, Stewart said.
grees, about 25 minutes until top
is crisp and brown. Serve warm.
Six servings.
Olive Creamed Onions
We don't use onions per se," as
the lawyers say, nearly enough
on four menus. Often as an in
gredient, but seldom as. a vege
table in their own right. Family
will like these; so will company.
IV2 pounds small whole on
ions, peeled
2 cups boiling salted water
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons ' all ' purpose
flour
2 tablespoons butter or mar
garine Vi cup sliced, pimento stuffed
green olives.
And if you want something
super, add a three-ounce pack
age of cream cheese. Cover and
cook onions in salted water until
tender, about 30 minutes. Add
one-half cup milk and heat to
boiling point. Combine remain
ing milk and flour. Mix well and
add to onion mixture. Cook until
thickened, stirring constantly.
Add butter or margarine and
olives. Heat thoroughly.
Spring Groans, Asparagus
Strawberries Increasing
Accustomed as we- now are to
availability of nearly all vege-
there's no taste treat to surpass
fresh, early-in-the-season good
things fresh from gardens.
Green Vegetables are so im
portant in meals, taste, so won
derful when properly cared for
and quickly cooked in a mini
mum of water to retain their rich
store of vitamins and minerals.
April available include arti
chokes, asparagus, a few snap
beans and garden peas, broccoli,
cabbage, celery, coilards, dan
delion greens all of the lettuce
family, parsley, peppers, green
onions. If necessary to hold a
day or two refrigerate them.
Keep them moist.
Fresh asparagus is increasing
right along with peak in May
and June. Quality is' very good;
stalks are fresh, tender and firm
with close compact tips. A ten
der stalk will be brittle when
broken within an hfch or two
of the base. Ten minutes cooking
is enough for tender, slender
tips; not more than 20 minutes
for the quite fat ones. Can't im
prove on dressing with butter,
salt and pepper or lemon butter
Toast points to catch every bit
of flavor. ,.
Spring Lamb, Beef and Pork,
New crop lamb is increasing in
supply; most attractive prices
however are on the heavier
lambs, notably on breast of lamb
ana snouiaer cuts. Jeei con
tinues on list of good buys and
pork, both fresh and cured, is
plentiful and reasonable.
Broilers. Fryers. Young chick
ens are increasing with lower
prices anticipated in May, though
actually they are a good buy
per unit the year around, fresh
or frozen -
Strawberries AheadI Luxuries
now,, strawberries in the first
shortcakes or offered by the
bowlful with fresh or sour cream
are a rare Spring treat. They're
1 coming now from Oxford, Santa
Maria and Fresno - Modesto with
later supplies from Santa Clara
Valley and . Watsonville and
moving right up the coast with
late Sprmg and Summer supplies
irom uregon and Washington.
Fish and Shellfish. Fresh fil
lets of true cod, rockfish, ling
cod, ocean perch and soleJ North
ern halibut is big buy for baking
and steak broiling; good variety
in shellfish, pan-readies and fro
zen fillets, too. Plenty of canned
tuna.
Other Good Buys. Fresh and
processed oranges and grape
fruit, small prunes, raisins, pota
toes, lard, vegetable fats and
oils. rice. Avocados are of good
quality.
