' Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Meat Bargains Now Enjoy Pork Beef Buys Meat prices are about as low as they can get. There's no place ; for them to go but up. Some- thing is bound to happen to stop the downward trend. Pork is plentiful, it's nutritious and it's an economical buy whether you select a handsome loin roast, a fresh or processed ham, meaty chops, spareribs or bacon. Beef is reported to be "better than ever!" That goes for both quality and economical prices. If you've a home freezer, put in pork; take advantage of the beef situation. Match this news paper's ads; see market posters and displays for best buy sug gestions. Pork Loin Roast Hot one day, cold the next, pork loin roast is a treat. Ask jwur meat man to loosen the backbones of the roast but leave the bones on so the roast will hold its shape while cooking. Remove bones when roast goes on the serving platter; use them for savory seasoning of limas, lentils, dried peas or other leg umes for another satisfying meal. As with all pork cookery, "slow, easy and thoroughly" is the secret. Place roast on rack in shallow uncovered roasting pan with fat side up. Season with salt and pepper and roast in a 325 degree oven 35 to 40 min utes per pound, or if you have, a meat thermometer the reading should be 185 degrees with the center of the bulb in the center of the thickest and meatiest part of the roast. Variations: Fresh pork roasts not only loin but shoulders as well, are especially good when seasoned with slices of onion. Whole fresh vegetables roasted around the roast take on that wonderful pork flavor. Or have your roast boned then stuff with fruit or bread dressing for variety. Good accompaniments are tart fruits served hot, such as applesauce, broiled peaches, glazed pineapple. Cranberry rel ish, and, of course, currant jelly are always perfect with pork. Economy Cuit of Beef To Braise or Simmer The fancy cuts known to ev eryone represent only about one- fourth to one-third of the animal. The meat man must sell all the meat which is why the less de manded, usually less tender cuts are offered at lower more at tractive prices. Thrifty cooks know this and make use of these delicious nutritious cuts to give servings of meat. Such cuts most frequently call for braising or simmering for best results. Meat tenderizer will help improve the tenderness and flavor of these budget-stretchers. Braising and Simmering Braising means cooked slowly with moist heat. For all types of braising, season meat, dip in flour if desired; then brown in small amount of hot fat. Cover and cook slowly on top of range or in moderate, 350 degree, oven in juices from the meat or in a small amount of added liquid. Liquid is usually water, but may be milk, cream, tomato juice, broth or soup. Cook until fork tender. Simmering or stewing . is a term applied to the braising method when enough liquid is used to cover the meat. Water copking, commonly called "boil ing" actually means simmering. Tests prove that meats are more tender if cooked at a simmering, not a boiling temperature. Cuts for braising are pot roast, arm, blade, round and flank steaks, short ribs, brisket and cross-cut shanks. Cuts for simmering are neck, shank, heel of round, plate, bris ket, short ribs, corned beef, stew meat. Such good eating for such comparatively low prices. Southern Style Rice Has Orange Flavor Southern Style Rice, shown in our picture with the luscious looking pork loin roast, com bines two more plentifuls, or anges and rice, for a dish that is distinctively different. Perfect as a side dish for pork. There are plenty of thin-skinned vita-min-C-packed oranges on the market, so use lots of them to help the family from falling prey to colds as winter rolls along. Remember that thin-skinned or anges are best for juice. 3 tablespoons butter or margarine 23 cup diced celery with leaves 2 tablespoons chopped onion IVi cups water 1 cup orange juice ' 2 tablespoons slivered orange rind 1M teaspoons salt Vs teaspoon thyme 1 cup uncooked rice Melt butter in heavy sauce pan; add celery and onion; cook until onion is tender, but do not brown. Add water, orange juice, rind, salt and thyme. Bring to boil; add rice slowly. Cover; re duce heat and cook 25 minutes. Serve with pork. Six servings. Perfection Salad Raw vegetable salads seem just right for service with pork or other "heavy" meat dish. This one has a tart-crispiness which we think will delight you. 1 envelope unflavored gelatine Ji cup cold water 3A cup hot water V cup sugar teaspoon salt V cup mild vinegar rA cup finely shredded cabbage 1 cup diced celery 2 tablespoons minced green pepper OR 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento Soften gelatine in cold water. Add hot water, sugar and salt and stir until dissolved. Add vinegar and lemon juice. Chill until mixture is the consistency of unbeaten egg whites. Stir in cabbage, celery and green pep per or pimiento. Turn into large or individual molds and chill until firm. Unmold on salad greens and serve with mayon naise to which a bit of horse radish has been added or other fa'vored salad dressing. Broiled . Orange Slices Wash oranges then cut peel and all into thick slices. Dip in butter and broil quickly on both sides. Perfectly superb with broiled duck or other fowl and, of course, with pork. -Fruit Salad Dessert As We Live By ELIZABETH HU1LOCK. PH.D. Harmless Showing Off Should Be Tolerated Teenagers, especially boys, feel they must prove to others as well as to themselves that they are brave, manly, good sports and everything that is admired by others. (O) "I am concerned about my son who is 16 years old and a junior in high school. He seems obsessed with the idea that he must prove his bravery no matter how dangerous i t proves . to be. He has gotten his license to N"H5sM&3i arive me car fc'Wt - mi and drives so Dr. Hurlock recklessly that my husband and I hate to see him go out. We are afraid he will get hurt or hurt someone else. The same is true with drinking. He is not allowed to drink but I know he drinks when he is at parties and I have heard from others that he drinks so much that he gets sleepy. He smokes endlessly behind our hacks tand is always talking io the young people about his 'love making' techniques and how he can make the girls 'fall' for him. Do all teenagers feel they must show off like this or is it just something characteristic of our son?" Mrs. H.M. (A) There are very few teen agers who do not go through a show-off stage similar to the type you have described. Because boys are expected to be "man ly," which means brave and dar ing, they are generally worse show-offs than girls. Feeling of Inferiority When a boy is not sure of him self and of how people feel about him, he is likely to go to greater extremes than is the boy who is sure that others admire and re spect him. In your son's case, it sounds to me as if he had a slight feeling of inferiority which he is trying to compensate for. Until a teenager gains enough self-assurance that he does not have to bid for attention and admiration, . there is little that parents can do to curb this show off behavior. However, when your son does things that are or could be very dangerous, such as driving a car recklessly, it is time to put a stop to it by refusing to allow him to have the car. On the other hand, when his showing-off is harmless, even if it is foolish, as in the case of boasting about his conquests, let him inflate his ego this way so long as he feels the need to do so. (Copyright 1956, General Features Corp.) This should be made ahead of time, 24 hours or so, for a fine salad for a buffet supper ... or for the lucky family. Combine canned or fresh pineapple, or ange sections cut in two, sliced fresh California dates and marshmallcws. Allow to mellow in the refrigerator.

NICHOLS United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Every thing grows big in Texas, even birthday cakes. And on March 18 in Houston there will be the biggest cake ever baked any where, includ ing Russia. It will be so tall the blow- . i Harmon .Nichols ex-uuiei uj. mc candle Will have to climb a lad der to do the huffing and puff ing. The occasion will be the first anniversary of Sharpstown which is now taking shape as the nation's, and therefore the world's, biggest residential de velopment. . I was there when the spade hit the sod, and I hope to be there in March. Dynamic Frank W. Sharp,, who does wonders, is promoting the project. Under construction now are the beginnings of' 20,000 homes, which soon will shelter 100,000 people. Thrcs-bedroom Homes Sharpstown was dedicated last March by Norman P. Mason, commissioner . of the Federal Housing Administration At the ceremonies, Mason dubbed it "an experiment in the American way of life." I suppose it is. Seven months before the for mal digging took place. Sharp kicked in with $6 million of Texas money for 4000 acres. Brick is predominate" in the Sharpstown homes. All of them have three bedrooms. Most of them have a retreat for the old man, a den with locking doors. Many have patios.. Prices run from $12,500 to over $20,000, according to the weight of the purse. There will be country clubs, schools, churches and. also bean spots where you can buy Texas chili and steak from a fatted Texas steer. Golf course No. 1 at the new development is already finished. It represents a $1 million invest ment, including the value of the land. Foundation of a $2 million club house is being laid and an Olympic-size swimming pool will be ready sometime this summer. Air-conditioned Sidewalls A reduction in club prices will help the home owner to cut down on his entertainment. At Sharpstown, the initiation fee will be $20, and dues for the year will be the same. At Hous tonv dues average $425 a year, with the initiation running from $750 to $10,000. The multi-million dollar urban shopping center will have air conditioned sidewalks, which will send up cool air to ease the strain on the -shanks of bargain hunting ladies. T. C. Brennan Jr., Sharp's general manager, tells me a "tot" town, complete with small-fry sized streets, sewers and houses and things, also will be built. It's part of the long range plan ning. "Not toys," he said. "Just to look at." "These Texas kids have mem ories. They will grow up one day to be big Texans. And they will want a big house to live in and that's where we will come in."
