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-

Thornton Rules on
Refund of Taxes
Salem (U.R) Attorney Gene
ral Robert Y. 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.

The next meeting of the Jack

The state session meeting is
in Klamath Falls the week of

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.

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.

Insurance Co.
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.

By Multnomah GOP

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."

PICK YOUR CAR FROM THE
HOTTEST-SELLING BUICKS IN HISTORY
There's a Buick to fit every purse and purpose-the
bedTock-priced Speciai, the high-powered Century,
the extra-spacious Super (illustrated here in the
Riviera model), ond the custom-built Roadmaster.
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.
