Spotlight on Turkeys, Corn, Melons, Salad Makings National spotlight is on tur key and our state produces a large share of the best. Turkey offers a lot of good eating for surprisingly little money. You get so much more out of a tur key than any other meat. For instance, stuffing and giblets and gravy; then you get turkey broth from neck and carcass. Plenty of turkey in all sizes; toms, hens and "juniors", likely to be specialed. Consider a ma ture hen turkey which makes wonderful eating when stewed or simmered, long and slow, 2M to 3 hours according to size of pieces. Use portion for serv ing with dumplings. Then make sandwiches and all sorts of spe cialties, both hot and cold from the leftovers. Fresh corn is holding its own; good supply, low cost. Try with garlic or herb butter. Long white potatoes are plen tiful. Twelve per cent more than prices. The fine, clean, high qual ity potato for boiling, baking, roasting, frying. Melon Delights. Watermelons continue the big bargain; ripe sweet perfection Canta'oupes coming in from new areas vary considerably. The popu'ar Cran- shaw is increasing in supply. Other Fruits. More and more Gravenstein apples; green, crisp, juicy, for eating out-of-hand, for pie making, apple sauce and all other purposes. Plenty of ba nanas, peaches, small Valencia oranges, summer avocados. Bart- lett pears are coming in; also new grape varieties. Vegetable Buys. Displays of fer practically ever known salad maker; celery, cucumbers, cauli flower, lettuce varieties, green onions, radishes, carrots. Toma toes improving, cost less. Meat Situation. Plenty of beef in all grades with genuine bar gains in ground beef, stewing, braising and other long, slow cooking cuts. Pork production is up with prices lower than at this time last year. Look for ham and bacon among other pork specials. Lamb quality is very good with prices about normal for this time of year. Remember cold cuts and perhaps a canned meat or two for an occasional supper as well as for noontime sandwiches. Fish and Shellfish. August of fers plenty of variety in west coast caught fish, both fresh and frozen. Enjoy them more often: fried, broiled, baked, planked and in salads, too. Salt Reminder. Better put a little more salt in cooking and elsewhere when temperature rises. In normal persons, salt deficiency develops most often as a result of salt loss through perspiration. So keep this in mind. 23-30-34-53 KL56-67-81-8-4I S TVYR GAZERS ARIES MAR. 22 -By CLAY R.

Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pref Ftur Writer Washington (U.R) The coop erative gift shop in the lobby of the beautiful Pan-American Un- 1 ion Building 1 here resembles what you might call an internatio n a 1 county fair. You'll find about every thing right there that you would if you j. j it f tm f&.&s&J4M visiiea an 01 Harman Nichols the countries of Latin America. The beginning of the shop is an interesting story. A few years ago employees of the Pan-American Union were asked to bring products from their homelands. The idea was to fix up an' exhibit as part of a Pan-American celebration. The employees were enthusias tic. They showed up in colorful native costumes, bearing baskets full of do-dads and trinkets that ordinarily could not be bought here except at uncommonly high prices. Operated By Employees Fact is, there were no price tags on any of the things in the original exhibit. But curiosity was aroused. People would look at a pair of handmade ear danglers and ask "How Much?" Visitors were told that this was just an exhibit.' The things on display were keepsakes of the workers and therefore not for sale . But an idea was born. Today, a new little gift shop is operated by employees who paid $10 a share to set up business. Pur chases are made from the Pan American lands, mostly in small quantities. If a profit is shown at the end of the year each investor will reap a dividend. A dividend is indicated. Busi ness is good. People have found out about the place. Wives of congressmen and senators and wives among us commoners find that, often as not, a bargain can be found. Take some of the textiles from Guatemala. Hand-loom cotton skirts for as low as $4.95. Skirts for the ladies for something like $15. Things that "wear like iron." Fr6m Ecuador come home made shawls and hand-made rugs. Prices Are Right Handmade lace handkerchiefs from Paraguay at something like $2.95. The Pan-Americans have learned how to knock a nickel off a three-dollar bill and make it look like a bargain. ' There are items of jewelry from Brazil, Peru and Cuba. The items, most of which can't be bought in American stores, start at about $1.95. There is pottery and straw items from Mexico. Novelties from Peru and Cuba in the form of handmade earrings. Dolls from Guatemala. Six tiny dolls in native costume from Guate mala, all made by hand and costs only 60 cents for the lot. Big dolls from Brazil for $3.00, items that could not be touched in most American shops at any price. There' are ladies' alligator bags from Cuba that start at $3.95. As an attendant . at the shop said the day I talked with him: "We are not competing with the American market. This is a small shop. We won't make a million. We are proud of what the countries of the Pan-American orbit produce. And you couldn't buy most of these things in any other shop in the United States anyway." Karuizawa, Japan (U.R) For eign Minister Namoru Shigemit su, who signed the surrender aboard the U.S.S. Missouri 10 years ago, said today he would make his first postwar trip to the United States in three weeks. Cardamon seeds are an ingred ient of curry power and of spice blends used in manufacturing sausages. Montevideo, Uruguay (U.R) Two Argentine navy lieutenants said they asked for political asylum in Uruguay because their own country "is in a chaotic state with no guarantee of life or property."
