Feeding the Family

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!

you use the sophisticated blu
Z berry or its mountain cousin, the

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

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.

Issues in Pinball .
Suit To Be Decided

Charles W. Redding is sched
uled to decide next Thursday on
some of the legal issues involv
ed in the suit questioning the
scope of Portland's anti-pinball
ordinance.
Judge Redding set the date

two-day hearing on the suit filed
by Lou Dunis, pinball operator,
which contended police did not
have the power to seize devices
operated without a coin. slot.
Dunis, who had obtained a
