Steaks, Roast and Stew All From One Leg of Lamb Holiday meal planning which almost always includes at least one roast can be kept down to an inexpensive level with care ful planning. For instance, take a succulent whole leg of lamb and presto three different meals. Buy a full-cut leg of lamb and ask your meat-man to cut off a few lamb steaks and to cut through the shank leaving about a pound of meat on the bone. 1. Broil the lamb steaks just as you would loin chops. Serve sizzling hot with broiled pine apple slices. 2. Here's your holiday lamb roast just the easy-to-serve cen ter portion of the leg.

Roast at a low even temperature of 300 to 325 degrees. Make a panful of gravy and serve with potatoes and minted peas. 3. For another good meal, cut the meat from the shank into cubes. Use these tender, bone less pieces of lamb in an Irish stew, for lamb curry or shish kabob (marinated and grilled on skewers with green pepper, on ions and tomatoes.) Added suggestion: Leftover bones and bits of meat make wonderful 'stock for barley soup. Jam and Jelly Go-Togeihers With poultry use blueberry jam, quince, currant , orange, grape or guava jelly, apple but ter, orange marmalade, pineap ple jam and jelly. Pass them in your prettiest glass dish or used to add flavor and color interest to sauces, gravies, for garnish or glaze. With any meat you'll find ap ple butter, apple or guava jelly "right out of the jar" perfect. With beef currant jelly is par ticularly tasty. With pork enjoy apple butter, annle or currant jelly. With ham try pineapple jam and jelly,1 apricot jam and jelly, orange marmalade or cherry jam. With veal currant jelly is the tried and true favorite. ..With lamb mint jelly, of course. But also consider pine apple jam or jelly, currant, grape or orange jelly. With fish and shellfish green gage plum jam is superb. Venice (U.R) The next time you step into a romantic gon--dola in this "queen city of the Adriatic" you may find it pow ered by an outboard motor. Gondoliers, fighting a losing battle against a mechanized age, talk of little else these days. Thirty of the 428 surviving "artists of the single oar" said flatly they would spend the win ter getting their gondolas motor ized for the next tourist season. They would be cunning little motors. An unsuspecting tourist would hardly notice them. The gondolier would operate the ac celerator with a foot pedal, using his slender oar only as a rudder. But the innovation would be a major revolution, and it might be the swan song of the silent, dragon-headed craft which sym bolize this city of lagoons. Since their heyday in the 16th century when 10,000 gondolas plied the canals, Venice's straw hatted gondoliers have been fighting a losing battle to keep their 85C-year-old calling alive. Careers Shortened Down to 1,000 in 1900, they had slipped to 600 at the start of World War II and are 428 today. Even the active life of the ex isting gondoliers is shortened. With their delicate wooden craft jostled by speeding motorboats on the canals they have to kneel repeatedly- on their precarious perches to keep their balance. This is knocking out gondoliers at the age of 50 whereas .they used to go on to far riper years. The advent of the internal combustion engine, forced the real crisis. Today only roman tics, lovers and tourists are pre pared to favor the slow and ex pensive gondola over the motor boats that chug on the canals at speeds far in excess of the three m.p.h. limit laid down by city laws. The gondoliers predict a city of neon lights, roaring exhausts and smelly gasoline fumes if the authorities do not act to curb the motorboats which are ruin ing their trade. Portland Concerned Over Transit Fate Portland (U.R) Members of the Portland city council yester day expressed concern over the fate of mass transportation in the city. Commissioner Stanley W. Earl said he feared Portland might be without public transportation on Feb. 1. That is the date the franchise now held by Portland Traction Company expires and the council had indicated it does not wish to extend the fran chise. Earl said the PTC would be holding a "loaded gun" at the city if there is no progress toward granting a new franchise either to PTC or a new firm by that time. Both Earl and Commissioner Ormond Bean urged that nego tiations be initiated at once to resolve franchise differences. East German Reds Threaten Soldiers ' Berlin (U.R) East German Communists threatened yester day to take action against Amer ican soldiers entering East Ber lin, the "capitol of the German Democratic Republic." The threat came in angry com mentaries on the acquittal yes terday by a U. S. Army court martial of two soldiers the Com munists accused of attacking an East Berlin actor. The two soldiers involved were Pvt. William J. Holden, 19, of Poplarville, Miss., and Pvt. Richard L. Calbert, 22, of Kansas City, Mo. They were arrested by the Communists Dec. 7 and accused of knocking out actor Werner Lierck outside a bar in the So viet sector. They were acquitted when they told the court martial Lierck called one of them an "American swine" and started to attack. They pleaded self de fense. Captive kangaroos are easily taught to box men in exhibitions,. The main problem is teaching them to forego their terrible kick. PICTURE TUBES REJUVENATED Is your picture tube dull and weak?

GRAPE PH. 3-1971 "People don't come to Venice to hurry," old gondoliers say. "It is the only city in the world where you can be really tran quil." : ' ; Various Protest! They point out that the motor boats cause a wash that is under mining the city's ancient pal aces. The gondoliers have tried all sorts of campaigns to press home their' point. They staged a mass parade along the Grand Canal to the ducal palace in 1949. Each gon dolier was decked out in tra ditional robes with flaring sash at the waist and each gondola carried a placard of protest. In 1950 Venice woke up to find not a single gondola in sight. "Do you like Venice like this?" A gondoliers' deputation asked the city fathers. "Carry on the way you are going and the only gondolas left will be in the mu seums." And in 1951 the gondoliers staged "the death of the gon dola." The great parade of grace ful 30-foot boats wound down to the ce .tral square. In their midst was a boat with a gondola up turned in the form of a coffin. A few minutes later seven gondolas equipped with noisy outboard motors and no silencers on their exhausts roared down the Grand Canal. The racket was awful and a point was scored. CASTOR OIL HISTORY Buffalo, N. Y. '(U.R) Junior probably would like to get his hands on the guy who rediscov ered castor oil. Castor oil first was used in ancient Egypt in 1500 B.C. Then it became lost for more than 3,000 years. It did not turn up again for medicinal use until the middle of the 18th Century, (Arner Co.) research ers say. Modern science has made it more palatable however. Scientific Survey Of Hunting, Fishing Will Begin Jan. 7 Washington U.R) The first scientific survey of hunting and fishing as an industry will be begun Jan. 7, the National Wild life Federation has announced. The study is designed to find out how many hunters and fish ermen there are in the nation, how much time they devote to the sports, and how much money they spend in the activities. Supervised by the Fish and Wildlife Service of the U.S. De partment of Interior, the survey will be conducted by Crossley, S-D Surveys, Inc., of New York City. Crossley will take a nation wide sampling of . outdoor sportsmen and calculate national estimates from these figures. - In announcing the proposad study, the federation said the re sults are expected to be of "great strategic importance in defend ing wildlife resources against competing pressures for the use of lands and waters. ; The most publicized dispute was over Air Force plans to use the Arkansas range in Texas, wintering ground of the almost extinct whooping crane, as a practice bombing area. The Air Force dropped the idea last Oc tober after heated protests from conservationists. Other advantages from the survey, will be a clearing up of questions confronting legislators and conservation agencies for years and information for future programs in game and fish man agement, the federation said. It is now known that more than 30,000,000 hunting and fishing licenses are sold in the nation each year. Many persons, however, are allowed to hunt or fish without licenses because of age or special exemptior that vary in the states. The annual contribution to the natior busi ness by hunting and fishing has been estimated at from $5,000, 000,000 to 511,000,000,000, the federation said. q Colorado boasts the highest railroad route in North America at Marshall pass at an altitude of 10,846 feet where the Rio Grande railroad crosses the Con tinental divide. take a tit from a wis traveler!
