May 27, 1955 Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Feed Editor Lemonade Made in the Shade Lemonade has belonged on picnics since the first lemon was squeezed and sugar and water added to make lemons drinkable. Nearly all picnic and party punches begin with lemonade and nowadays one reaches for a canned or frozen lemon juice or for a concentrate for lemon ade. Frozen concentrate for lemon ade is available in both six ounce and 12 ounce cans. Six ounce can makes a quart of lemonade. We think plain lemon ade made according to can direc tions is unsurpassed for summer days but if you've a color scheme in mind or want to fancy it up, here are good ways: Lemonade-Mint Punch. Com bine concentrate for lemonade (undiluted) with four table spoons green mint jelly and mix well until jelly has softened. Add one large bottle ginger ale and 10 or 12 ice cubes and stir well. Serve immediately in four tall glasses. Barbecue Punch. So named, presumably, because it is so re freshing with hot stuff. For a crowd, since you get 34 four ounce servings. Combine three six-ounce cans frozen concen trate for lemoade, one six-ounce can frozen concentrated grape fruit juice, one six-ounce can frozen concentrated grape juice and add 'iVz quarts water. Ice just before serving. Golden Days. Combine three six-ounce cans frozen concentrate for lemonade, one six - ounce juice and one 12-ounce can apri cot nectar; mix well. Pour over ice cubes; add two tall bottles sparkling water just before serv ing. Approximately three quarts for 12-16 tall glasses. Picnic Salad Supper ' At home or afar, for family or friends, this is a mighty satisfy ing supper salad. Cook one eight ounce package elbow macaroni according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water. Add 1 '2 cups diced cooked ham, 1V4 cups chopped celery, one small green pepper, chopped, two tablespoons chopped onion, one-half cup stuffed olives, sliced, one-third cup bread and butter pickles, diced, two-third cup real mayonnaise, two table spons mustard with horseradish, two tablespoons lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Toss all together lightly to blend well. Serve with crisp let tuce leaves; maybe garnish with deviled eggs and pimiento strips. Six generous servings. Spaghetti Feed is So Satisfying - A t spaghetti feed over the weekend is such a satisfying thing. It can be fixed practically any time; can be served any time and anywhere. Can stay at home or travel in a thermos jug. Italian sausage adds special in terest to this though link sau sages can be used, if handier. 1 package spaghetti 14 cup melted margarine 3 onions, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 cup mushrooms, sliced 4 Italian sausages or 8 links, cooked 1 No. 2 can tomatoes 1 small can tomato paste Vz cup water 1 1 2 teaspoons salt 2 bay leaves 2 teaspoons dried basil Grated Parmesan cheese Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water as usual. Drain and rinse with cold water. Keep hot over boiling water, if necessary. Saute' onions, garlic, mushrooms and sausages (sliced about one half inch thick) in melted mar garine until lightly brown. Add tomatoes, paste and seasoning. Simmer about one hour. Mix spaghetti and sauce; sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve with sliced Italian or French bread and a tossed green salad. Six servings. Breakfast Change with Eggs in Bologna Cups Long weekends with their later rising time makes possible good things like this. 6 slices thick large bologna, Vs inch V cup margarine 1 small green pepper, chopped 34 cup milk 13 cup grated Parmesan cheese V4 teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon paprika Dash of tabasco 6 eggs 2 tablespoons margarine Melt butter or margarine in skillet; saute bologna until edges curl into cup shape. Re move fron pan. Add green pep per, saute until tender. Stir in milk and cheese; cook over low heat until cheese is melted. Add seasonings, well beaten eggs and margarine. Stir mixture contin uously, breaking into shreds. Pile scrambled eggs into bologna cups. Serve hot. Six servings. Broilers, Fryers, Barbecuing Meats, Picnic Supplies on Shoppers Lists With a long weekend ahead, smart shoppers will do their shopping early, avoid the Satur day rush and really have a holi day for themselves; three whole days with meals planned for easy living. Mother no longer does all the work but it does take a little planning. Paper paraphernalia and alum inum foil are musts on any shopping list of time and labor saving devices. Both practically do away with dish washing; make for informality and fun. Plenty of paper plates in various sizes, cups, napkins; place mats for sit-down affairs. Any alumi inum foil package suggest many practical uses for the product. Keep a huge waste basket handy. Broilers and fryers are plenti ful, reasonable in price; lend themselves ideally to cooking both indoors and outdoors. We discuss them elsewhere in our columns today. Barbecuing is a past-time par excellence and the meats for it can be practically anything. Even steaks and chops have rea sonable prices right now. Put in a supply of ground beef for at least one hamburger feed; frank furters for another meal. Cold cuts in the refrigerator and some canned meats on the pantry shelf are a good idea. Cheese assortment, of course. Fcgr meals as usual, there's plenty of beef and pork. Lamb and veal are at their best. Fish and shellfish are in good supply with fresh catches of hali but and salmon in the north Pa cific; other varieties such as cod, lingcod, rockfish, flounder, sole, clams and crabs. Plenty of frozen halibut, frozen fillets and canned tuna. Picnic Items. You'll need ham burger and hot dog buns, sand wich bread, a French loaf or two. Plenty of crisp potato chips and corn chips. Pickle assort ment. Cake and cookies. Plenty of coffee. Frozen concentrate for lemonade. Vegetables and Fruit. Plenty of cabbage, celery, cauliflower, lettuce, potatoes both old and new, spinach, carrots, asparagus, zucchini squash, radishes and green onions. Corn is increasing in supply right along; so are tr matoes. Rhubarb quality is good. Plenty of bananas, mall oranges, avocados. Spiced Cottage Roll. An excel lent slicer. Place a cottage roll or boned picnic ham in a deep ket tle. Cover with water and add six whole cloves, one-half bay leaf, one sliced onion, one stick cinnamon, one-half teaspoon cel ery seed, one-half cup vinegar. CQver tightly and let simmer un til meat is done. Allow 40 to 45 minutes per pound for cooking. Watermelon Testing. We're testing melons early this year. Usually a fully ripe watermelon has a thin outer skin that peels easily when scraped with the finger nail. The underside too changes from white to yellow tinge with maturity. Many judge by the number of bee sings in evidence figuring that if it is sweet enough for bees, it's sweet enough for them. However, the safest way to determine water melon ripeness is likely to re main that if "plugging." Vegetable Combines. With so many fine vegetables available, many can be combined happily either to begin with or as left- POLIO TAKES FATHER Peter A. Rockne, 35, of Boise, Idaho, died of polio believed contracted by "household contact" with two of his chil dren who got the disease after shots of Cutter anti polio serum.

Thornton said yes terday that only the county court has authority to make refund of taxes erroneously paid by one taxpayer upon the land of an other. He wrote the opinion at re quest of John J. Pickett, district attorney of Coos county. Thornton said the tax collector is not vested with power to re fund taxes even where the cir cumstances are such that the county court would normally have refunded such taxes. If the tax collector makes an unauthor ized refund of such taxes, Thorn ton said, he may be sued upon his bond by the county. As an alternative remedy, the attorney general said, the coun ty court may affirm the un authorized refund and re-assert the tax against the property up on which the tax was erroneous ly paid. Grange Pomona Grange The next meeting of the Jack son County Pomona Grange will be held at Central Point Grange hall Saturday, May 28, at 8 p.m. This is the meeting for the an nual conferring of the degree of Pomona preparatory to the sixth degree at State Grange in June. The state session meeting is in Klamath Falls the week of June 6. All Jackson County Grange members are urged to attend, and a large class is urged from this county. , The meeting at Central Point Saturday is 'also the last chance to get resolutions in to State Grange. facturers have come up with "supersize" beds 81 V4 inches long. According to the National As sociation of Bedding Manufac turers, the new size has been standardized and registered with the U.S. Bureau of Standards. The need for king-size beds is reflected in Army statistics gath ered in the drafts of World War I and World War II. The figures showed that the number of men five feet, 10 inches or taller increased 45 per cent. In the same period, the number of six-footers increased 70 per cent. Women Taller The fair sex, too, has grown Water Resources Board Bill Signed Salem '(U.R) A measure to create a state water resources board, and a companion bill per taining to appropriations of ground water, considered by Senate President Elmo E. Smith of John Day to be among the most important legislation passed in many years, has been signed by Gov. Paul L. Patter son. The board created by House bill 25 will take over the func tions, and therefore abolish, the Willamette River Basin Com mission, Upper Columbia River Basin Commission. State Recla mation Commission and State Irrigation Board. Gov. Patterson also signed House bill 713 which provides a method computing the cost of caring for patients at the state's three tuberculosis hospitals and specifies the share patients able to pay will bear in the cost. The measure affects the state tuberculosis hospital at Salem, The Dalles and Portland.

So, the bed makers felt longer beds were in order, and you can buy them now at most large re tailers, with mattresses and bed ding to match. Maybe beds should be wider, too. A study by the Mellon In stitute at Pittsburgh showed that the average healthy sleeper shifts his position 20 to 45 times during the night, and sometimes as many as 60 times. But if beds were any wider, bedrooms would have to be big ger, too. As it was, the bedding industry adopted the new "supersize" only after consultation with the American Institute of Architects. Bedrooms Too Small "The fact that bedrooms in many modern homes are so small is one reason we don't make beds any wider," a spokesman said. Big as they are, the new beds can't compare to the biggest bed of all time, the celebrated Bed of Ware. Built by one Jonas Fosbrooke and presented to King Edward IV in 1463, it measured 18 feet 6 inches by 13 feet, and there was a trundle beneath equally as huge. Bed and trundle could sleep 68 people. Basil O'Connor Named Father of Year New York (U.R) Basil O'Connor, president of the Na tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, has been named the father of the year by the Nation al Fathers Day Committee for his "ardent fight to create the most effective partnership of scientists and laymen ever ral lied against any single disease." The committee also named Dr Jonas E. Salk as the humani tarian father of the year at the annual luncheon at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul L. Pattprson has signed into law House bill 594 to give ports having less than 100,000 popu lation the authority to abolish such rules and regulations as the port deems convenient or neces sary to provide for the policing and control of property it ope McCall Defended By Multnomah GOP Portland (U.R) Tom Lawson McCall, who last week came un der fire of State Democratic Chairman Howard Morgan, was defended yesterday by the Mult nomah county chapter of the Oregon Republican Club. Morgan charged McCall had been employed on two legisla tive committees by appointment of Republicans at the same time he was a candidate for Congress. The Multnomah GOP group adopted a resolution expressing "its strongest disapproval of the unfair and misleading attacks." Gust Anderson, member of the social welfare interim commit tee with which McCall worked, told the club yesterday McCall did an excellent job.

Two months ago, in the public print, we said that this looks like Buick's biggest year and we weren't fooling. But what has happened and contin ues to happen is almost beyond belief. People buy up these stunning new Buicks practically as fast as we get them from the factory. Buick produc tionalready revised upward several times keeps forging ahead to new highs every month to meet the mount ing demand. And Buick sales keep soaring higher and higher and higher outstripping by far the phenomenal success of last year the success that moved Buick into the "Big Three" of America's best sellers. What is it about the '55 Buicks that folks by the hundreds of thousands just won't do without? It's many things. It's styling that's boldly distinctive and fresh as tomorrow. It's beauty of line and beauty of interior decor. It's a ride that's level, firm and steady. It's a new sweetness of handling. It's great power walloping new V8 power of record might. But above all, it's a new kind of performance, from a new kind of automatic transmission that was born of flight thinking. It's Variable Pitch Dynaflow engi neered from the principle of the modern plane's switch-pitch propeller and what it brings you in the way of pure thrill, mere words can't describe.
