0TWO WrDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. October 14, 1955 Back Stairs: President's Midday Meal Br WARREN DUFFEE eUnited Press Correspondent Denver (U.R) Backstairs at the temporary White House: It was President Eisenhower's own idea to start having his heaviest meal at midday during his recovery at Fitzsimons Army Hospital. And it's not because cf his long years in the Army, where the noon meal is the sturdiest, or his upbringing in small towns, where the same custom often holds true. He just gets hungry. The doctors don't mind. In fact, they approved and the President appears to be thriving on it. However, the medics keep a firm thumb on the calorie counter and hold the President's daily intake down to 1,600 cal ories. So what sounds like a big meal for the bed-ridden chief executive isn't so huge when you see the size of the portions. The beef industry was caught flat-footed but sprang back with delight when the Presi dent plunged beef bacon and beef sausage into overnight popu larity, by eating them daily in stead of the usual pork products. Jay Taylor of Amarillo, Tex., president of the American Na tional Cattlemen's association, exuberantly termed Mr. Eisen hower "the greatest beef sales man the world has ever known." Beef bacon has been available for years but was getting no where against pork bacon. Last year, the beef industry began trying to popularize it as "break fast beef." But the going was slow until Mr. Eisenhower made it a household word Taylor admits that "unfortu nately the flood of requests for the bacon-like beef caught the meat industry unprepared" and that "many thousands are still waiting to have their first, serv ing of this taste treat." He said butchers across the nation have been flooded with requests for beef bacon since Mr. Eisenhower popularized it. The President's'favorite of all the music specially recorded for soft playing in his room is Brahm's Third Symphony. Brahms and Bach are presi dential favorites, and he spends hours listening to selections from both. Although the Third Sym phony from Brahms is his first choice, he also has on hand the First, Second and Fourth symphonies.

Lots of Meat News And Jl's All Good If we needed any reassurance as to' abundance of meat, foods editors in Chicago heard a great deal about it . . . from Swift and Company, Armour and Company, Wilson and Company and the American Meat Insti tute. Information ran something like this: Beef. Great quantities of beef are expected to come to market during the remainder of this year and the early months of 1956. In addition to the sup plies of lower grade, grassfed cattle which normally reach the market in the fall, the months of October, November and De cember will find meat markets well stocked with top quality branded beef cuts, selling at at tractive prices. Veal. From now on through December, look for excellent supplies of veal. Lamb. There will be good supplies of better grades of lamb through October, November and December. Pork. Large supplies of pork bearing economy price tags are appearing on markets these days. These excellent supplies will continue on through this year and may be expected to continue through - the early months of 1956, tapering off in May. A particularly excellent fresh pork value may be found in such cuts as fresh picnic shoulders and fresh skinned pork shoulders. Fresh skinned hams make wonderful budget roasts. Smoked pork cuts such as hams, bacon and picnics are also tasty economy buys. Poultry. A good supply of turkeys will . continue. Holiday tables this year, however, will find lighter supplies of small- grown Beltsville - style turkey. In general the heavy breeds will provide the best value. Look to the 18 to 22 pound weights in Tom turkeys for greatest econ omy in holiday birds. Chicken supplies continue to be heavy. Broiler-fryer chick ens are one of today's most econ omical-buys. Best Fruit Buys. Fill your shopping bag with a variety of choice apples. Valencia oranges, grapes, Casaba and honeydew melons and Italian plums are in good supply. Fewer peaches and pears. Best Vegetable Buys include cabbage, cauliflower, cucum bers, corn, sweet potatoes, toma toes, onions, winter squash and celery. Orient Excursion Offered Coast-Favored Tidbits After theater parties are fun especially when you can chat with scores of food editor frjends who have just seen "Tea house of the August Moon." Ac'cent International was host at a simply super party which featured Far East tidbits which in turn reflected age-old mono sodium glutamate in its role of making foods tastier. Display of "nibblers" was elaborate with our old west coast friends, Rumaki and also Teriyaki cooked on an hibachi exactly like our Hawaiian pic ture of recent date. So you know about Teriyaki and here is the recipe for Rumaki which can be done with 20 walnuts halves if water chestnut is not available for slicing. Cut 12 ounces (20) chicken livers in half and sprinkle with salt, pepper and one-half tea spoon ac'cent. Melt two table spoons butter; add two table spoons minced onion and cook until tender but not brown. Add chicken livers; cook until just tender. Fry bacon half done but not crisp; drain. Place a liver in center of bacon slice with a wal nut half. Wrap bacon around both; secure with a wooden pick. Place under medium broiler heat until bacon is crisp. Makes 20 "rumakis." Bon Bon Cookies Are . New Inside and Out These elegant brand new Bon Bon cookies introduced by Gen eral Mills at the Newspaper Food Editors Conference are full of surprises inside and out.
