GOOD ADVICE
West Haven. Conn. PJ.PJ
Desk Sgt. Leslie Howard re
ceived call from a woman who
couldn't get her son out of bed
to go to school. She wanted a
policeman "to come over and
scare him." The cruisers were
busy, so Howard told her, "Try
the old-fashioned method of
paddling, and I think you'll get
the same results."

Asparagus, Potatoes. Peas
Strawberries Have Meal Appeal
Fresh, tender, succulent California-grown
asparagus .is a joy
beynod compare. Quality is gen
erally excellent though there is
enough variation in sire and
quality for price variation also.
Prices are not likely to be ap
preciably lower because com
mercial freezers are buying
much of it. Choose fresh, tender
firm spears with close compact
tips. Tender stalks will be brit
tle when broken within an inch
or so of the base. Ways to fix
it elsewhere in columns. 1
New potatoes are increasing
in supply and so are fresh green
peas. Neither are budget itema
but they'll never taste better
than right now. Highly perish
able, plan to use them very
soon after buying.
Avocados are having a big
growing year; continue high in
quality, reasonable in price.
Strawberries are increasingly
plentiful ' putting a touch of
Spring into menus, morning,
noon and night. Fragrant, color
ful and flavorful, they're won
derful cooked or uncooked, fresh,
frozen or canned in jams and
jellies, in ice" cream, sauces and
syrups. They make superb short
cakes, tarts and pie; are good
in custards, creams and com
potes. When buying strawber
ries, choose large ones for des
sert show-off; smaller, more eco
nomical ones for other purposes.
Size is no indication of flavor.
Look for berries with fresh,
clean, bright . appearance, free
of moisture and dirt. Cap must
be attached to insure freshness.

Ike Favors Split Of Statehood Bills
Washington (U.f9 Presi
dent Eisenhower said over the
corpse of the Hawaii - Alaska
statehood , bill yesterday that
Congress should deal with the
issue pne territory at a time.
The House last night defeated
a measure which would have ad
mitted Alaska and Hawaii to
the Union simultaneously.
Mr. Eisenhower commented at
his news conference Wednesday
that he opposed the combination
approach, believing it better to
split the legislation into separate
measures.
In any event, it appeared that
flag manufacturers won't . have
to worry for another year or two
about cutting new patterns for
the Stars and Stripes. The bill
which would have added two
new stars for Alaska and Hawaii
was defeated decisively by a vote
of 218 to 170.
