TWO-flMEDFOUD (OREGO) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, October 28, 1933 Feeding the Family y IOLA VINCENT Food Editor upper Snacks Folio Theater Party Mars, Inc., makers of candy fys, sent conferencing foods edl tors to see the Chicago show of their choice and your foods edi tor chose to see "Tea House of the August Moon," a continuing delieht. Immediately following the show, the Ac'cent International people pulled aside a bamboo curtain to permit a look at Ori ental eating of the nicest kind. Actually, the word should f be "nibbling" because of the variety of delicious snacks inspired by Hawaii, Polynesia, Japan and China, where the use of monoso dium glutamate has been going on for centuries. This flavor, en hancer, best known here as "Ac'cent" was present in this simple but elegant chicken liver recipe. Chicken Livers au Fines Herbes Wash one pound chicken liv ers; drain. Combine one-half tea spoon Ac'cent, one-half teaspoon salt,, one-eighth teaspoon pepper, one-half teaspoon oregano, one tablespoon minced 0 onion, one tablespoon finely chopped pars ley and two ' tablespoons olive or salad oil. Add livers; marinate one-half hour. Drain livers; roll In flour. Saute in shortening, oil or butter five minutes or until bpwn. Turn occasionally. Place each liver on a cocktail pick (or arrange on hot platter), sprinkle with Ac'cent and additional pars ley. Here is a fine place to express appreciation to these good folks for also having a typewriter available in our room through out the conference1 in addition to the well set-up press room which is a mighty busy place when 140 foods editors want to tell their readers what's going on. Thanks, Ac'cent. Women Like Wine The average wine consumer is Mrs. America not Mr. America, Frank A. Whiteley, public rela tions director of the Wine Insti tute, San Francisco, told foods editors. Other findings docu mented included ' the fact that the average wine consumer is more likely to be mature than just out of the teens, to be well educated, to be from the higher economic levels. Among the 41, 000,000 adult Americans who en joy some wine, there is a popular feelifig that wine is healthful, inexpensive, tastes good, "is gay and festive" as well a easy to serve. California's own Rose (pronounced rosay) wine was starred , at spectacular vintage buffet party where wine and grapes shared honors with two thousand California pink roses flown in for the occasion. Flavored Piecrust Appears Sprycrust, appropriately, is the name of a new concept in pie crust making, introduced, as you rightly suspect, by Lever Brothers Company, producers of the shortening, Spry. Their home economists declare that flavored sprycrust is the key to a whole series of brand new pies and pastries, each with appealing characteristics of 'its own. You can make as many different fla vored pie-crusts as there are fla vors; chocolate, honey, fruit, cof fee to mention a few. These new pastries are further enhanced with "roll-ins" of various ingre dients such as chopped nuts, chopped semisweet chocolate, grated cheese, chopped coconut, chocolate sprinkles and poppy seeds giving interesting new ap pearance, delightful crunch and unexpected flavor to the pie crust. Rare. Medium or Well-Done- Steaks to individual order sat isfied the "eating" food editors while Vilhjalmur Stefansson, famed Arctic explorer, told of experiences in the far north as featured guest at dinner spon sored by American Meat Insti tute in the Grand Ballroom of the Drake Hotel, Chicago. Dr. Stefansson, author of 22 books and with fixed notions on food views and food prejudices, de lighted his audience with graphic proof that meat, both lean and fat, provides physical fitness. The speaker observed that in eight years among the eskimos, he encountered not one single corpulent eskimo in a land where meat is their principal or sole item of diet. Golden Baked Carrots One of our: most inexpensive vegetables yet full of vitamins and flavor, carrots should be used frequently. These baked carrots, we are sure, will win your heartiest approval. 1 bunch carrots ;' 3 tablespoons butter or mar garine 1 teaspoon sugar Vz teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons ehopped onion ; Slice carrots in thin strips and place in b u tt e r e d .casserole. Sprinkle sugar, salt and onions over carrots. Add remaining but ter. Cover tightly and bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) 30 minutes or until tender. Serves four, unless you like carrots as well as we do. . West Coast Fruits, Vegetables In Conference Spotlight Camera's eye view of new de velopments in the produce indus try was given foods editors by United Fresh Fruit and Vege table Association. Film, largely produced on West coast, showed efforts of growers, shippers and government in producing better, fresher, more abundant and less expensive fruits and vegetables. We saw the orange crate disap pearing, blueberries as large as marbles, -a new variety of grapes called Perlette, new variety of corn, thornless blackberries and what .scientists feel may be the "perfect peach." Field packing of lettuce and celery dramatized the fact that these perishable products are ac tually en route to the consumer 30 minutes, after harvesting. Po tato harvesting showed unique new machine that moves along a potato field; digging potatoes out of the ground and replacing the earth at a rate of several miles an hour. Field-loaded trucks are directed by radio to packing sta tions in a traffic system . which eliminates waiting in the hot sun. New washing and grading methods are also improving po tatoes. An amazing thing is .that all these modern methods and equipment actually lower the price to the consumer because of their efficiency. Best Fruit Buys. A look at the fruit displays brings to mind fresh fruit salads. Available at fair prices are apples, a kind for practically any taste, oranges, bananas, grapes, cranberries and "winter melons," Casabas, Cran shaws and Honeydews. Check with your fruit, and vegetable man as to the ripeness of winter melons, because they frequently take quite . a bit more ripening at room temperature to insure the juicy luscious flavor you expect. Best Vegetable buys include carrots, celery, cabbage, onions, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, sweet potatoes and white pota toes. The fresh corn . supply is decreasing. Frozen fish and shellfish can be used in any recipe calling for fresh-fish. This means a wide variety is available all year round. Although not a budget food, it is of interest to note that this is lobster season. Good buys to be had in frozen halibut and northern salmon. Filets of sole, cod and perch make fine eating. The common meadow mouse consumes its own weight in food every 24 hours. A Nkhol's Worth of . r. Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United P'M futar Writer fry 4 Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower, more's the pity, isn't wearing any kind of hat these days except occa sionally a golf cap to shade his eyes when he's taking the sun on the hos pital terrace in Denver. But when our leader was up and around he was a migh- Harman Nichol ty spruce dress er topside, and the boost he gave to the Homburg rates him 'sec ond spot on a new list of the "best-hatted men in the world." The best -hatted selections have been made annually for the past decade or so by Harry Rol nick of Garland, Tex., who has a mercenary interest in these matters because he is a maker and peddler of male headgear. The Duke is Best Leading the list for 1955 is the Duke of Edinburgh, royalty's leader in men's fashions. . According to friend Harry, the Duke is not as strongly a pro-Homburg man as Mr. Eisen hower. But neither is he anti Homburg. He wears them when the occasion demands. He -also wears numbers with the snap on the brim and on formal occa sions, naturally, goes for the silk toppers that look like sawed-off stove pipes. Harry says the Duke's choice of headgear "reflects his royal position combined with a debo nair quality which makes him the best-hatted man anywhere." Mr. Eisenhower is in second place because "his keen style sense reflects an appreciation of the right headgear, for the right occasion. He wears his hats with dignity and authority." Mr. Harry Truman, who led the poll a couple or three times while he was in the Whie House dropped to sixth place. But he still "has a keen sense of show manship, which is reflected in his head covering." Millionaire sportsman Aflred Gwynn Vanderbilt is in third place, a "natty dresser" who has a fabulous hat wardrobe." John Wayne's Taste Sen. Herbert H. Lehman, the Democrat from New York, is fourth, because of his "conserva tive taste," and movie star John Wayne, who goes for a robust taste in masculine headgear and who was first last year, is No. 5 The hotel tycoon, Conrad Hil ton, who owns almost as many bonnets as he does beds, is sev enth. Golfer Ben Hogan comes next because of his "sportsman's sense of color and design." Frank Sinatra, the male thrush, comes up ninth because he has a "perfect hat sense," and Adlai Stevenson, who once got his picture taken with a hole in his shoe, places tenth for sar torial excellence at the head level. Among the honorable men tions are Bing Crosby, Red Skel ton, Noel Coward, Joe Louis, William A. Wellman, Marlon Brando, John Ringling North, trumpeter Harry James, Michael Wilding and Gene Kelly. I reckon it is understandable that no wretch from the work ing press ever seems to get into this category. Any newspaper man who owns more than one hat is looked upon with a sneer in his own society. And that one is apt to be mighty battered. UN Security Council Vote Still Knotted United Nations, N.Y. (U.R) The Philippines and Yugoslavia battled through three more dead locked ballots in the race for the UN Security Council yesterday before Britain forced an adjourn ment of the voting for 10 days. The General Assembly has gone through 12 ballots without filling the third vacancy which will occur in the Security Coun cil Jan. 1. Cuba and Australia were elected on the first ballot Oct. 14. Today's was the third session devoted to break the deadlock for the third seat. The United States, pointing out that a "trend" .toward the Philippines was developing in the voting, opposed Britain's mo tion and suggested that the As sembly hold at least three more ballots today. The Assembly vote for ad journment was 21 to 18 with 15 abstentions. QUICK SHIFT Anna, 111. (U.R) Thomas Lawson had a brief career as a police officer here. The first day he was on duty, he was offered a job he had applied for at a service station and so resigned from the force after half a day of service. ' . Idaho Falls (U.R) Some 325 Phillips Petroleum workers at the National Reactor Testing station returned to their jobs yesterday in response to a fed eral mediation and conciliation service request. Los Angeles Police Arrested for Theft Los Angeles (U.R) Police Chief William H. Parker has ordered a sweeping investigation of his department, "from top to bottom," following the -arrest of five policemen on charges they burglarized stores while on duty. Parker said other officers may be implicated in a burglary ring which operated in the West Los Angales area. Arrest of the four uniformed policemen and a vice squad of ficer, all of the West Los An geles Division, rocked the de partment. It was the first major police scandal here since 1949 when the grant jury returned indictments against several high ranking officers, who all sub sequently were cleared by the courts.
