Ginger ! th number one

Once the ipice of noblemen, gin

loaf withQ absolutely wonderful
results.

ple wedges, canaiea cnernes or

maybe holiday giving. After all,
Christmas is only weeks away.
Pudding Cake Topping. Just

cream, three tablespoons of con-
' fectioner's sugar, one teaspoon
of ginger and one .teaspoon of
cinnamon rfnd you have a de-
j, liciously different spiced topping
for cakes and puddings.
Saucy Shrimp. For six serv
ings of a handsome, delectable
shrimp dish that is different,
consider this: Melt one-half cup
butter in double boiler or over
very low heat. Mix one-half cup
flour; add 2V4 cups milk and
cook, stirring constantly until
thickened. Add a six-ounce jar
prepared horseradish. . Season
with salt and pepper. Fold in
three dozen medium shrimp that
have been cooked. Reheat.
Beef's a Bargain;
Western Pot Roast
For a flavorful, wonderful,
low-cost pot roast, choose arm
or round bone (chuck) cut 1V6
inches thick, weighing four to
five pounds or blade bone
(chuck) lVfc inches thick, five to
six pounds or boned rump pot
roast, four to five pounds or
boneless sirloin tip pot roast
weighing three to four ounds.
Season and "flour" pot roast,
brown in hot fat in heavy ket
tle, season with salt and pepper
and spread with one-half cup
horseradish or add one-half cup
sliced onion, three or four whole
eppers and a bay leaf. Add just
a little water, maybe a cup

come to a simmer. Do not boil
if you want a tender, juicy roast.
Turn roast a couple of times.
Cover tightly. Plan three hours
cooking time. Hope for left
overs! Special Seasonings ,
About 45 minutes before pot
roast is done one of the follow
ing may be added:
Vegetables. Pared or scraped
carrots, peeled onions, stalks of
celery cut into two-inch lengths,
pared medium-size potatoes and
other mild flavored vegetables
in whole or good-size pieces.

tomatoes, one teaspoon prepared
mustard and one onion, peeled,
sliced.
Worcestershire Sauce. Pour
two tablespoons Worcestershire
or other meat sauce into broth.
Herbs. A few fresh or dried
herbs added to the ;. broth are
pleasing. Do not use more than
one bay leaf unless you like a
predominance of this flavor.
School Lunch Milk Program
Every parent should be famil
iar with local school milk pro
gram. Children like milk and
they like to -drink it at school.
Nationally, the Special School
Milk Program is administered
by the Agricultural Marketing
Service of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture. Within the states,
the program is administered by
the educational agency of the
state. It makes adequate supplies
of fresh milk readily available
at an especially attractive price
in school cafeterias. When Jun
ior wants "money for milk," he's
getting good nutrition at low
cost.
October Markets Offer
Good Buys in Pork
October plentifuls are many.
Spring pig crop provides an
abundance of pork for autumn
breakfasts of ham, bacon and
sausage and for fresh pork din
ners in great variety along with
an occasional baked ham. Grass
fed beef continues to offer good
buys especially among the long,
slow-cooking economy cuts with
hamburger a bargain. Lamb is
excellent quality, reasonable.
Fryers deserve your special
attention. Good time for stock
ing the home freezer.
Fish industry calls special at
tention to good supplies of fine
quality shrimp, oysters; plenty
of cod, halibut, salmon, flounder,
sole, rockfishes and local spe
cialties, both fresh and frozen.
Canned tuna at special prices
for making sandwiches and
salad.
Rice Abundance. To go along
with that good pork and poultry,
there is a super abundance of
rice. Try different kinds. There's
regular white, brown, convert
ed, precooked and there are rice
cereals that are tremendously
popular with the children. Reg
ular and processed rice swells
three to four times in size during
cooking. One pound of raw rice
is enough for seven servings. To
preserve vitamins and minerals,
cook rice without washing it.
Hawaiians buy their rice 100
pounds at a time, we noted re
cently. Ideal potato growing weather
has brought a record crop of this
all-American favorite.
Pediatricians OK
Salk Vaccine Program
Chicago U.R) The American
Academy of Pediatrics has ap
proved the resumption of the
Salk anti-polio vaccination pro
gram.. , . ,
The academy's executive
board, meeting in conjunction
with the 4,300-member group's
24th ; annual convention, re
versed a stand against the pro
gram taken last June by approv
ing a report from its committee
on the control of infectious dis
eases. The committee said that re
ports from the Public Health
Service and others indicated the
vaccine was effective in the con
trol of paralytic poliomyelitis.
Meanwhile, Chicago's Board of
Health president, Dr. Herman N.
Bundesen, said incidence of
polio among the city's school
children who had Salk shots was
cut by 90 per cent.
HIGH TIME
New Haven, Conn. (U.R) Aft
er being charged three times

FACTS
about the freight car shortage
This year Southern Pacific has hauled a xecoid -breaking
number of cars of Oregon lumber to out-of-state markets.
Obviously Southern Pacific provided a record breaking number of
empty freight cars to do this.
In the first eight months of this year we hauled more than 84,000 mpfy
cars into Oregon from points as far distant as Texas. Right now, solid ,
trainloads of empty cars are being hauled all the way from the Southwest -to
Oregon in our effort to aTJeyiate the shortage. ; . : ,
This car shortage is a matter of very serious concern to Southern Pa
cific. We are just as unhappy about it as the Oregon lumber shippers or
the shippers in the other states over the UJ3A. for this car shortage is
nationwide. ( " ' ' , ". : .
But we think there has been considerable rnisunderstanding about the
situation. '
The facts are that Southern Pacific has an outstanding record amoDg
American railroads in efficiency of performance, purchase of new cars and '
in other factors that operate against a shortage. We are proud of that .
record.
HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT POINTS
WE WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT:
! The car shortage which started the beginning of last June generally exists
throughout the nation. Other railroads serving the Northwest are feeling the
pinch even as the SP. - r r ...
' - -
2 The SP has done a great deal better than most roads in acquiring new can to
meet unprecedented demands, having added 42 ,725 freight can in the last 10
years. These new cars, with 3,879 still to come, represent an investment of $267
million. In this period, SP gained 35.9 per cent m car ownership and 44 per
cent in carrying capacity, as contrasted with a slight decrease for Class I rail- :
roads as a whole. .
3 Of even greater significance is SFs ownership of box can trsed by Oregon lum-
ber shippers. Ownership and carrying capacity of these can increased better
than 40 per cent on SP during the 10-year period.
4 The SP has an outstanding record in "keeping them rolling.'' Its 1955 percent-
age of unserviceable can has been only 1J), compared with a national average
of 5.8 per cent.
5 SP gets 70.5 miles per day from eac j car, while the national average is 46.2 .
' miles. This has the effect of increasing the car supply. -
6 SFs tremendous $700 million capital expenditure program since 1946 shows :
the railroad's continuing efforts to provide the very best service within its capa
bilities. This expenditure is $170,000,000 more than our total net railway oper
ating income for the 10-year period. An expanded fleet of diesel locomotives,
, modernized switching yards and generally improved operating services and
facilities are major facton m increasing freight car utilization and supply.
7 For the past 20 months, in addition to many thousands of other box and flat '
can, we have put an average of $1,142,500 worth of brand new box and flat
can onto the Portland Division each month. Currently this schedule has been
stepped up so that we are now moving 60 new box can, costing $459,000, from
A our Sacramento shops for loading in Oregon EACH WEEK.
We hope that the facts presented here will show you that we are doing
our best to combat the car shortage by every means at our disposal
