o o TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, November 21, 1S53 Searchers Resume 'Ghost Plane Huni Carlisle, Pa. U.R) Search parties today resumed their hunt for a "ghost plane" believed down in the rugged mountains north of President Eisenhower's Gettysburg farm. The search by some 200 civil defense workers and volunteers in the desolate mountain terrain was postponed at 2:30 a.m. be cause of darkness and extreme cold. A woman plane spotter re ported a "large plane" in dis tress Friday night and said she saw a flash and heard what she thought was a crash. A summer resort caretaker also reported hearing a plane flying very low and apparently in trouble. Two sailors passing through the mountains later reported seeing a yellow signal flare. Harrisburg State Airport said no airliners were known miss ing or overdue and all military aircraft were accounted for. In spite of the millions of dol lars spent by the U.S. in explor ing the Antarctic continent, no move has ever been made to claim any portion of Antarctica. on Hot BUY THE NEW Quick RcrY GE Water Heater I AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT rood Editor Wash a Load of Clothes EVERY HOUR All Day Long ONLY $5.00 1 A MONTH NOTHING DOWN APPLIANCE 115 EAST MAIN Authorized Dealer GENERAL ELECTRIC Water Heaters Giv Thanks for Purple Plums And Other Seasonal Foods We're especially thankful right now for the bountiful har vest of tart-sweet purple plums that have been grown and quick canned right here in our own Pacific Northwest. First plum orchards were set out in this area in 1858 when our rich, fer tile land was virtually an unex plored wilderness. Today, 30 or so firms in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, grow and pack prac tically all of the deep garnet Italian prune-type plums enjoy ed anywhere. Tree-ripened, and handled with great care, purple plums are canned in extra heavy or in medium syrup. A "natural" for breakfast and for dessert; high in nutritional val ues. Wayi With Purple Plums Purple plums may be kept in open cans under refrigeration without loss of food values. However, no one is going to "keep" them when they can eat them. Personally we think they're completely superb "as is" just as they come from the can, ser ved in their own rich juice. At breakfast with side dishes o cereal, toast and coffee or cocoa for the children. With or with out cream at any meal. Without cream, arrange them attractive ly with grapefruit sections, can ned peach or pear slices. How about spooning soft ice cream over them for a delec table dessert: They're a tasty garnish for puddings, sherbets, spooned over yesterday's cake slices ... or as a side dish for lamb or pork dishes. Plum-Good Jelly Serve the plums and save the juice for making this plu-per-fect jelly quickly, economically. Combine 2 cups canned purple plum juice from the can with one cup canned orange juice and one package powered fruit pec tin. Bring to boil; add 2V cups sugar, stirring constantly until smooth. Bring to a rolling boil for one-half minute. Remove from heat and skim. Pour into sterilized glasses; cover immed iately with hot paraffin. Store in cool, dry place. Will make J seven six-ounce glasses. Spice That Fresh Cranberry Relish Canned cranberry jelly and jellied whole cranberries are a fine stand-by at very reasonable cost, but there are plenty of fresh cranberries this year so of fer family something different once in a while. Here are some ways to spice them up. Start with this basic fresh raw cranberry relish: 4 Cups fresh canberries 1 unpeeled orange 2 cups sugar Wash and pick over cranber ries. Grind, using medium blade of. food chopper. Cut or ange into pieces and remove the seeds. Grind. Stir into cranber ries and add sugar. Stir until well blended. Now comes the choice: To the basic recipe add two table spoons toasted sesame seed . . . or add one tablespoon ground mace . . . or IV2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and three fourths teaspoon ground cloves. . . . or 2V4 teaspoons ground allspice. Chill and serve. Good not only with turkey and other poultry, but particularly good with hot or cold pork. Spicy Salad Dressing Wonderfully good on any tos sed green or vegetable combin ation salad. Thoroughly mix the follow ing spices: one teaspoon papri ka, three-fourths teaspoon dry mustard, one-fourth teaspoon of ground celery seed, one - fourth teaspoon ground black pepper, one - fourth teaspoon ground ginger, one - eighth teaspoon on ion powder, one - eighth tea spoon garlic powder, 2Vz tea spoons salt, one-half teaspoon sugar, add two - thirds cup salad oil, one - fourth cup cider vinegar and two tablespoons cold water. Beat thoroughly, or shake vigorously in a jar or a bottle. Frozen Plum Pudding By a Quick Method The old authentic frozen plum pudding was a thing of beauty requiring hours of time and a score of ingredients. Today's ad aptation is probably just as good and is so quickly achieved with excellent results. Twelve to 15 servings; so rich we really rec ommend 15 or even more. Soften one quart vanilla ice cream. Fold in two cups heavy cream that has been whipped. Add three-fourths teaspoon of ground cardamon seed, one-half cup. glaced cherries, one - half cup chopped citron, one - fourth cup sweet sherry, one - fourth cup chopped blanched almonds and one - fourth cup macaroon crumbs. Pack into two-quart mold. Cover. Place in freezing compartment of refrigerator or in home freezer. Let stand over night or about 12 hours. Re move from mold. Frost with additional whipped cream, us ing maybe one-fourth cup of heavy cream, whipped and sweetened with one tablespoon sugar and colored, if you like, with not more than one drop red or green vegetable coloring. Return to freezer until serving time. Meat Balls In Tomato Sauce The lavishness of holiday en tertaining is likely to take its toll of the family food budget. This economical main dish will go a long way towards keep ing food-money under control. 1 pound ground beef Vz pound ground pork V4 cup finely chopped onion 2V2 teaspoons salt Vz teaspoon pepper 1 egg 14 cup water 1-3 cup uncooked rice 1 No. 2 can tomatoes BE THANKFUL So many things to be thankful for! Purple plums from Northwest orchards, just as they come from the can or laced with grapefruit segments, peach or pear slices for superb breakfast eating ... or as dessert. Plum jelly, too. They're in today's food columns. 2 cups water 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon chili powder Mix meats together with on ion, IVi teaspoons salt, pepper, egg, water and rice. Form into 16 firm balls. Brown in hot fat in a skillet. While browning, combine tomatoes, one teaspoon salt, sugar and chili powder in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. When meat is brown add to tomato mixture, cover, turn heat low and simmer for one hour. Remove meat balls to plat ter and place in warm oven. Thicken sauce with flour mix ed to a smooth paste with water. When thickened pour over the meat. If there are any left over, they are even better when warmed up the next day. Tricks With Waldorf Salads As the seasons change, so do our salad habits. Gone are the hearty summer main dish sal ads. Now we prefer salads that complement hot main dishes around which we build our menus. Waldorf salad has long been on the preferred list of winter salads . . . and why not . . . with such a bountiful supply of apples, celery and nuts av-ailable. Take six tart red apples, pare or not as you wish, and cut into bite-size pieces. Cut enough eel: ery to make IV2 cups. Chop one fourth to one-half cup walnuts Combine all three ingredients with real mayonnaise and you have a basic Waldorf salad. Now for some quick changes. Instead of walnuts use toast ed almonds, black walnuts, or pecans. Add little white grapes or halves of rich dark grapes that have been seeded. If you're not a weight watch er, try mixing a liberal amount of whipped cream with your mayonnaise, with maybe just a touch of sugar and vanilla.

PH.D. When a family is separated by hundreds of miles, letters go "a long way toward keeping the members together. Many young people do not under stand this. (Q) "My daughter, our only child, was married three years ago and has been go- Dr. Herlock ing from one place lo another wiih her hus band since he went into service a year ago. When they were nearby, she used to telephone us and have short visits with us. Now she is so far away that a telephone call is too expensive and except for an emergency. "My husband and I, like all parents whose children have left home, are lonely and miss our daughter very much. I have told her how much her letters mean to us but she says there is nothing io write about. As a result, we often do not hear from her for a month at a time. "I wish you would write a column and point out to young people how much letters mean to their parents." Mrs. S. T. (A) -.Many young people feel they must have some exciting news before they are willing to sit down and write ever a brief note. They fail to realize that just a few lines, telling of the everyday happenings in their lives would mean much to their parents. Parents, too, are often offend ers here. They feel thev have "nothing much to say" and as 1 a result put off writing letters until there is an urgent reason for writing. By doing this, they drift away from their children, just as children drift away from their parents by not writing them and keeping contact. You may get your daughter to write more often by setting a pattern for the type of letter you would welcome by writing such letters to her. Tell her what you and your husband are doing; what your relatives, neighbors and friends are doing; what is going on in the commun ity; and any other news that might interest her. Then ask her to tell vou about her life; her neighbors; what her husband's work in the service is; etc. In this way, you will encourage her to write. (Copyright 1955. General Features Corp.) -1 The continent of Antarr-tira is the last unexplored frontier. Al tbought discovered in 1820, no country has successfully attempt ed to colonize it. S44.000,000,000 Construction is as vital to the lumber industry as hay is to a horse. It is a fine thing for the country that now authorities can chart construction prospects a year ahead with amazing accu racy, outside outbreak of war, or an invasion from the planet Venus. Last year at this time, govern ment experts were quoted in "Out of the Woods" on the prob abilities in construction for the whole year of '55 and the possi bilities for 1956. The government's statisticians and the interpreters made an amazing record for accuracy on the 1954 outcome. And now in dustrial construction, church building and a few other classi fications of the kind are running just a bit ahead of last fall's pre dictions for 1955, while private residential building is somewhat behind. NEven so, private enterprise housing is exceeding the build ing rate of 1954, and 1956 will see a two per cent rise over 1955, say the experts. They pre dict that private non-residential construction in 1956 will soar 15 per cent above this year's dollar volume. More work in the woods, more steak in the freez er, more lumber! Work or Die For the whole U.S.A. con struction industry, $44,100,000,- 000 worth of business 'Will be done in 1956, or 6 per cent more than the $41,800,000,000 made in 1955, the wise men prophesy. The average Oregon-Washington forest income of $1,800,000,000 per year flows from this reser voir and pipeline of construc tion money. The old way of the lumber in dustry was to yard in the logs. put 'em through the saws, dress the top grades, and send out cards saying, "Lumber for sale come and get it!" An old, old way, long gone, except for a few. The Pacific Northwest has been the backbone of structural lumber supply for 50 years. In the period, engineering in tim ber has become as much a lead ing characteristic of forest in dustry in the woods. Forest products research is in the front rank of American science. Now adays the West Coast lumber business wins top prizes in the advertising field. Great archi tects are more wood-minded than ever before. That's how it has come to be with the big breadwinner cf Washington and Oregon. Keep ahead or drop out! Advertise or ossify! Work or die' Wrigh with Wood Frank Lloyd Wright and his architectural designs . are the subjects of all the reading mat ter in the November issue of "House Beautiful," one of the heaviest, handsomest and most influential of the many Ameri can magazines devoted to home building, home furnishings and decoration. Wright is a wonder ful designer in wood. Simple lumber and plain timbers pre dominate in most of the exam ples of his work, as shown in the magazine particularly in Wright's own home. 1 "With wood," says "House Beautiful," . .. . "Mr. Wright is supremely expressive arid under lines its warm, living nature. For wood, above all others, is the true product of nature. Its grain and color seem to touch our natures like no other mate rial. . . . ' . "The ceiling in the house above speaks to us of warmth of wood, its grain, feeling and color. It is uncluttered, uncom plicated by forced forms unna tural to its physical character." So speaks the modern lan guage of architect and of edito rial authority on the homes Americans are designing and building today, with increasing use of wood from the Pacific Northwest. Lumberman Paul Bunyan is in the big league, away up there with the people who are going to do $44,100,- 000,000 worth of business next year, according to the experts.
