1 TWO MXDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, July 7. 19S3 Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT f4 Editor Fresh Fruit Bargains Unlikely; I Barry Sponge Caka Canaars Urged to Coniar Jake your pick of the berries We might as well reconcile i or any combination of berries ourselves to the fact that com mercial freezers, canners and jam and jelly makers are going to take a major portion of the berry and orchard crops for the tremendous ice cream, bakers and restaurant trades ... as well as for out-of-season consumer use. Weather, too, is a contribut ing factor; many crops being smaller than usual. For eating in their fresh state and lor home freezing and pre serving, we'll just have to water the markets closely, talk things over with our fruit suppliers .who usually give special prices on quantity purchases. Bargains such as we used to find, are few and far between. Your local fruit man will be glad to advise you since it is to his advantage to move perish able products quickly. Uncertain weather and market conditions are tough on him, too. Seasonal Berries. Fruits We welcome increasing sup plies of distinctive flavorful ber ries of various kinds and of apri cots, nectarines, peaches, plums. The sweet cherry season is un usually short, the bright red - sour cherries are due later. Watch newspaper advertise ments and displays. Tips on Barries I First, keep in mind that only r the popular strawberry is privi t leged to wear a cap as a sign of j maturity. All other berries that are mature are free of their hull. ' Second, for" best quality and Z taste, choose those berries that - are firm, plump and full colored. Learn to distinguish the differ- ent types; red raspberries and ; black (the core separates from ? the fruit); blackberries and dew r berries are much alike and used the same ways. Loganberries are the big dark red berries and the darker .boysenberry greatly resembles f them. i Select firm, npe currants for r jelly-making. Over-ripe fruit . does not "jell" so well. Three main varieties, red, white and black are in season June to Au- gust. : Large size bluberries really : are a development through horticultural research of the wild huckleberry. Lower levels " of our mountains produce wild huckleberries to delight those 1 fortunate enough to "go huckle- berrying" or to find a few boxes at fruit stands Elderberries are the small - black berries of the elder bush, ; principally used in jelly making. Z Large strawberries (season ending) are choicest for eating; medium size best for "preserv- ing." All berries supply import r ant food elements necessary to Z good health. Besides, they taste Z so good! t Bluberry Cobbler A rare desert treat whether you use the sophisticated blu Z berry or its mountain cousin, the I huckleberry.

As We Live Sees Stepmother Role Too Much for Daughter' When a parent has reason to believe that a child, even when be or she has reached adulthood, is planning to do something that will bring years of unhappiness, then it.is the parent's duty to interfere. However, the parent should be certain he is justified in interefering before he does so. Q. "My daughter, who is 25 years old, is a kindergarten teacher. Through her work, she has become acquainted with the father of one of her pupils. He is a widower with two other Children, a baby of 18 months and a child in the first grade. My daughter has been going with this man ever since Christmas and I . am afraid it is getting serious. She loves little children and feels sorry for the children of this man. I know she respects .and admires him but I am afraid she will let her sympa thies for the children influence her to marry him. His mother, who is somewhat of a tyrant with the children, has been taking care of them in his home since his wife died when the baby was born. I feel that my daughter is too young to take over the responsibility of a ready-made family and a mother-in-law who could make lot of trouble for her. How Marriage Counselor Didn't Follow Advice Los Angeles (U.R) Mar riage Counselor Arthur Globe. 37. was divorced by his wife Sylvia,. 39. because he didn't practice what he preached. Mrs. Globe accused her hus band of beating her, seldom coming home for dinner and lecturing her until four and five in the morning despite the fact she was "the support of the family." By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. can I show her that she is mak ing a mistake?" A. So long as your daughter feels as she does about him and his children, I wonder if you are j u s t i f l e d in saying that she would make a mis take in marry' ing him. She may be young in years for a family of three children, one of whom is of school age, Dr. Hurlock but her train ing and experience as a kinder garten teacher would certainly compensate for her youth. She knows from practical experience, how to handle children and this should help her to overcome the problems most stepmothers face. Her biggest obstacle, as I see it, is the grandmother. She may be a "tyrant" as far as the chil dren are concerned but that does not necessarily mean that she would be a tyrant with your daughter. Your daughter surely must know, by now, what she would be faced with in this re spect if she married this man. The chances are that the grandmother would be only too happy to turn over the care of three small children to a young er woman. Under such conditions if your daughter could conyince the grandmother that she is the one for the job, there should be no trouble there. (Copyright 1955. General: Features Corp.) .
