Refreshing Drinks
Bottled lemon juice is prac
tically standard, equipment now
adays. Here are quick, easy
recipes for making about a quart
of, thirst-quenching, refreshing,
T5ng drinks for warm days.
Frosted Fruit. In a two quart
jar, combine one-half cup sugar,
one cup cold water, two-thirds
cup lemon juice, two-thirds .cup
unsweetened pineapple juice,
one-fourth cup lime juice, two
.egg whites beaten stiff. Shake
well. Pour over cracked ice and
serve.
Lemon Buttermilk. In a bowl,
combine three cups chilled but
termilk, one-third cup cold bot
tled lemon juice, dash of salt,
one-half cup sugar, two small
scoops vanilla ice cream. Beat
with rotary beater until thor
oughly blended. Serve in chil i
glasses with maybe a dash of
ginger.
Southwestern Iced Tea. Pour
three cups boiling water over
five tea bags and let steep three
minutes. Stir, strain and cool.
Add one-fourth cup orange juice,
one-fourth cup pineapple juice
and three tablespoons sugar;
mix well. Pour over cracked
ice and serve.
Bake Fish Fillets. Choose two
pounds of any fish fillets or
steaks from fine displays. Sprin
kle both sides with salt and pep
per. Add two tablespoons lemc n
juice and one teaspoon grated
onion to four tablespoons melted
butter or oil. Dip fish in this
mixture and place in greased
baking pan. Pour rest of fat over
fish. Bake in 350 degree oven
25-30 minutes or until fish flakes
easily. Sprinkle with paprika.
Serve immediately on hot plat
ter. Six servings.
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.

A Nichol's Worth of . . .
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."
