Famed Cheese Spread Is Popular Party-Goer Often at a party, - guests en thuse most about a cheese spread that is served in a small Edam cheese. For large parties, the hos tess is likely to have several of these on. tap . . . perhaps along with beer which increases in pop ularity as warmer days occur. Advantages of this spread are many. It can be made a day or two in advance, then tucked in the refrigerator. If all is not used at one time, it can be returned to its cold shelter to await fur ther calls. No hunting for a re frigerator dish since it is self contained. Cut top from Edam cheese and scoop out center with a spoon leaving thin wall to maintain the shape. Blend the scooped out cheese with sufficient room tem perature beer to make a smooth mass of spreading consistency. Then add Vfc teaspoon Worcester shire sauce, Vi teaspoon mustard and a good sprinkling of cay enne. Some hostesses like to add 1 teaspoon each of chopped chives and pimiento to the mix ture. Replace mixture in shell and chill. Serve with or on crisp crackers or melba toast. Ham Freeze? Specialists do not recommend the freezing of ham as freezing detracts from its characteristic fine flavor. To care for ham, cover meat to pre vent drying and store in coldest part of refrigerator until ready to use. Do not slice, cut or grind ham until just before using; to do so influences flavor and tex ture. Ham-Asparagus Luncheon Ham flavor blends so well with so many things that most cooks plan for ham leftovers. Simply add two cups of cubed 1 cooked ham to a well seasoned 'medium white sauce; pour over 'cooked asparagus spears ar ranged on hot toast. An excel lent luncheon quickly prepared at small cost. Lemon io Avocado Whenever a recipe calls for both mashed avocado and lemon juice it is a good idea to add the lemon juice to the avocado as you mash it. This keeps the avo cado from darkening. Be sure to select an avocado that is soft if you want it to mash easily and have excellent flavor. Fresh Fish Fillets Fine in Many Ways Markets offer good variety in nsn miets at small cost; not a particle of waste, all good flavor f ul eating. Be careful not to over cook because overcooking de stroys both nutrition and flavor, Most popular ways with fillets are these: Pan Friend. Cover fillets all over with seasoned flour. Fry in about four tablespoons cooking oil in heavy skillet until done; 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with Tartar sauce. Baked. Dip fillets in milk sea soned with salt and then into fine bread crumbs. Place in greased baking dish, sprinkle with oil or melted butter. Brown quickly in hot oven. Serve with parsley butter. Broiled. Season with' salt, pep per, paprika and lemon juice. Brush with melted fat. Broil 5 to 8 minutes on preheated broil er. Turn carefully, brush other side and cook 5 to 8 minutes longer, or until slightly browned. Puffed Potato Slices Every now and then we're asked how to fix those puffed potato slices. And here's how: Select medium-size potatoes of uniform size figuring one potato per portion; pare and cut on slant in even thin slices about one eighth inch thick. Dry between towels and fry, a few at a time in medium-hot fat (275-300 de grees) five minutes, keeping po tatoes in motion. Lift basket and plunge quickly (this is the secret) into very hot deep fat (400 to 425 degrees) one to two minutes or until puffed and browned, keeping potatoes in motion. They should puff at once when dropped into kettle of hot fat. Hold basket over kettle for fat to drip, then turn out on absorb ent paper to drain. Sprinkle with salt; serve at once. Scalloped Spinach A delightful vegetable change, so easily accomplished. Uses two cups cooked spinch. If spinach is left over, warm and put through a sieve. Add two tablespoons minced onion, one-half teaspoon salt, one-quarter teaspoon pep per, one slightly beaten egg and one-half cup milk. Put in greased baking dish and coyer with one half cup buttered crumbs. Bake in moderate oven, 350 degrees, until brown. Takes about 15 min utes. Will make six servings.

Around Hollywood y ALINE MOSBY United Preis Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) One of Hol lywood's top pin-up photo girls started work today as a female Tarzan for a TV series with strict or ders to dis guise the sex appeal that once brought her fame. ABC - TV hit such a jackpot with - "Davy Aline Mosby Crockett" that the network already has another children's show lined up for fall. This one is a strictly fictional series called "Sheena, Queen of the Jungle." The job of playing the mus cular jungle girl who swings through the trees went to the darling of magazine photogra phers, Irish McCalla. Irish is known to any male who ever eyed a cheesecake photo in a magazine. The tall (5'8") blonde has posed in bikinis (39-24-37) doing everything from canoeing down the Colorado river to riding a merry-go-round. High Neckline . But as TV's new female Tar? zan, Irish will climb trees, swim and wear a peopard skin with a high-cut neckline. "We have to avoid all the pin up stuff," Irish explained be tween scenes of the filmed series. "This is for kids. It the cleav age ever gets too much in a scene, I throw my hair forward over my shoulders!" Although men in the audience might regard her tree-swinging as a waste of cheesecake, Irish insists she is overjoyed to get out of the pin-up category. "All my life I've been a tom boy," the Pawnee, Neb., beauty said. "Just because I'm built in a certain way people think I'm sexy. But when I was a model 2nd the photographer would tell me to look sexy, I'd just start to laugh. "Actually I'm athletic. I was a skin-diver when somebody asked me to pose with skin-diving equipment and that started the pin-up career." "Sheena" appears to be a west ern series with tom-toms and grass huts. Irish, her real hair hanging to her waist, lives alone in the jungle for some mysteri ous reason. There is, of course, a handsome hunter in pith helmet who shows up in some episodes. . But the only member of the cast who gets a kiss from Irish will be her sidekick, a chimpanzee. Irish leaves next week on a tour of New York and Washing ton where a build-up will start to make youngsters Sheena-consci-ous. In the merchandising field little girls will be able to buy Sheena shoes, jewelry and toys. "I was the first and last person of 200 tested for the part," she said. "They almost signed Anita Ekberg but she couldn't smile."
