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. I '
Salem - (U.R) ' - The State
Department of Agriculture will
hold a hearing here Nov. 3 to
