Washington U. The Ger
mans insist that we don't know
how to serve beer, and that goes
in jmtmm. i ma for Milwaukee
If
and St. Louis.
That is the
word from a
friend of mine,
a major, who
has made a
mighty survey
of beer joints
around Army
h e a dquarters
in Europe,
Hirmu Nichols
mostly Germany.
According to the major, who
has a m p 1 e d American stuff
from home b'rew to "needle"
beer for one-fourth of a century,
we folks at home are doing all
things all wrong, at least ac
cording to the German way.
There still is some challenge,
but the Germans are supposed
to have invented beer.
Matter of Degrees
Anyhow, this major likes to
tell about his littl chat with a
German beer-tap tender. This
fellow reminded the soldier that
in America folks like their suds
served at 32.5 degrees Fahren
heit. "That's where you Americans
are foolish," the German bar
keep told my friend.
My friend was buying a 6-cent
beer at the time and he had no
reason to complain, on account
of back home a small shell
would cost him at least 15 cents.
So what could he do but listen?

New staff accretions brought

mainr. "it must not be coHer
than 45 degrees Fahrenheit. If
so it loses its flavor, goes flat
like dat, and yoost is no goot
for drinking purposes."
The major, being an experi
mentalist and interested in the
business of learning, played
guinea pig. On the house. After
a number of experiments for
free he was inclined to agree
that the German inn keeper was
pretty much right.
Before the major could pull
away without fear of trouble
with the cops, he was forced to
listen to another lecture.
Need Big Mug
"Also," the barkeep said, "You
Yankees don't know any more
than to put fine beer in six
ounce glasses. And when you
pour her, you sneak the beer
down the side of the glass, so
she will not foam. Beer to be
goot, must be poured from a
height of at least one foot over
the mug. And that mug must
not be a little one. It has to be
a great beeg mug. The mug
ought to be earthen. Glass is not
goot."
The major again was about to
pull away, when up came the
subject of washing beer glasses
or mugs. Again, it seems that
we over here don't know the
secrets of the Germans.
"Neffer," the bartender was
saying to the major, "neffer,
neffer go washing a beer mug
in soap and water. Use salt and
hot water and nottin else. Soap
in the mug, louse, as you say,
up the foam on the next round."

Bridges Discloses
Contact Made by
Superior Oil Man
Washington U.R) Sen.
Styles Bridges disclosed Wednes
day night that a Superior Oil
Co. attorney asked him last fall
at Concord, N. H., when the Sen
ate might act on the natural gas
bill.
Bridges, ranking, Republican
member of two Senate lobby in
vestigating committees, revealed
attorney Elmer Patman called
at his office in October or No
vember. He said Patman, an Austin,
Tex., lawyer, traveled to Con
cord to talk to him in his capac
ity as chairman of the Senate
GOP Policy Committee.
Bridges said he reminded
Patman that the Democrats were
in control of Congress and that
he should talk to them.
Testimony before Senate in
vestigators has shown it was
Patman who hired oil lobbyist
John M. Neff. Neff offered Sen.
Francis' Case (R-S.D.) a S2.500
campaign contribution during
the natural gas bill dispute.
Bridges is a member of the
four-man committee lnvestigat
ing the contribution offered Case
and the widespread activities of
Neff in connection with the nat
ural gas bill. Bridges also is a
member of the new eight-man
committee preparing to open a
broad investigation into lobby
ing.
He disclosed his contact with
Patman when newsmen asked
him about the lawye&s expense
accounts that indicated more
than one visit to Concord. The
accounts were introduced as evi
dence before the four-man com
mittee. Republican members of the
eight-man lobbying committee
Wednesday agreed to insist on
"majority rule" in all commit
tee decisions including the is
suance of subpoenas.
Such a stand, if approved by
the full committee, would sharp
ly restrict the freedom of action
normally permitted Senate com
mittee chairmen. Sen. Albert

Memos from Our Foods Editor's
Note Book Offer Foods News
Ahhhh! That United Air Lines
seven-hour non-stop coast-to-coast
flight i3 really something!
Fast flying, good eating.
. In New York with quick side
trips to Atlantic City (Canners
Convention) and to Washington,
D. C. (Press Women), your foods
editor has recently covered a
great many meetings, eaten a lot
of good food, visited with foods
industry men and women and
talked about food .with many
friends and a few celebrities.
Now to decipher some of .those
notes, hoping they'll prove of
interest to you.
First person of major impor
tance usually visited in New
York is Paul S. Willis, president
of Grocery Manufacturers of
America, Inc. This association
represents practically all of
America's manufacturers and
processors of well known brands
of food and grocery products.
Member-companies of GMA op
erate about 2500 factories and
processing plants; employ well
over a mililon adult persons, do
an annual sales volume exceed
ing $200,000,000. Mr. Willis told
us that retail food store sales set
new records in 1955 with sales
of $43,7000,000,000; said that
1956 would show further in
creases, then forecast that Am
erica's annual food consumption
in the next decade can increase
by about $30,000,000,000 over
present levels. Feeding the fam
ily continues to take about 25
per cent of our income "after
taxes."
Talking with GMA's staff, we
learned that "persuading home
makers to read the label" con
tinues a major project, so we
remind you that "the label tells
the inside story; gives - all the
facts you need to select grocer
ies best suited to your purpose;
often give suggestions for prod
uct use or recipes." It is also
well to remember that the sug
gestions or directions for use
have been tested by experts and
are those most likely to succeed.
Frozen Food Industry
Increasing in Popularity
In. New York for the 10th an
nual convention of the frozen
foods industry ,at the Waldorf
Astoria, we heard that we're
now eating 45 pounds of frozen
foods per capita and that this
amount is increasing right along.
Vegetables rank first in popu
larity with more than 1,000,000,-
000 pound volume; poultry next
wtih 900,000,000 pounds, then
829,000,000 pounds of fruit juic
es and 625,000,000 pounds of
prepared foods.
Among preared foods, the
greatest increase has been in the
completely prepared dishes that
are ready to heat and eat. Pot
pies head this list with potato
products, fish sticks, complete
dinners, waffles and fruit pies
following in that order. Frozen
packaged meat will be increas
ingly popular as it bacomes
more readily available. It is
thought likely that 50 per cent.
of all our meat , purchases will
be "frozen," four years from
now.
Major item of interest to foods
editors and consumers was a re
port analyzing the nutritional
value of 30 frozen vegetables,
14 frozen fruits, seven frozen
juices. Established for the first
time and following a five-year,
$250,000 research project, vita
min and mineral contents re
tained in frozen foods were doc
umented proving the retention
of nature's best efforts in health
ful eating.
Foods highest in vitamin and
mineral retention were aspara
gus, broccoli, collard greens, or
ange juice, spinach and straw
berries. Rated as "good" sourc
es of , iron were lima beans,
mixed vegetables, peas, black
eyed peas, french-fried potatoes
and spinach.
Good protein sources are as
paragus, broccoli, lima beans,
collard greens and spinach.
Low-sodium dieters find so
dium rated low in asparagus,
green beans, corn, graperfruit
juice, orange juice, peaches,
french-fried potatoes, red rasp
berries and strawberries.
Hot Cross Buns
VINCENT
Editor
Lenten Tradition
Hot Cross buns of the Chris
tian era have been traditional
since they first appeared around
1250 A.D At that time they were
sold to Easter Sunday communi
cants as they left church. Today
in America the Hot Cross bun
season starts Ash Wednesday
and continues all through Lent,
but the buns are much the same
as in 1250. They can be made
using a hot roll mix, but we pre
fer to make ours like this:
Hot Cross Buns
These "buns' 'are simply won
derful. Serve piping hot with
plenty of butter.
2 medium sized potatoes
Vz cup milk
Vz cup sugar
1V4 teaspoons salt
z cup margarine or butter

Grated peel of 1 lemon
cup raisins
Ji cup sifted confectioners'
sugar
Pare and boil potatoes. Drain
and put through ricer or mash
until smooth. Scald milk. Stir in
sugar, salt, butter and three
fourths cup of potatoes. Cool to
luekwarm. Measure water into
a large mixing bowl (warm, not
hot, water for active dry yeast;
lukewarm water for compressed
yeast). Sprinkle or crumble in
yeast, stir until dissolved. Add
lukewarm milk-potato mixture.
Beat two of the eggs and add
to yeast mixture. Stir in half of
the flour and lemon peel. Beat

and set in a warm place, free
from draft, until doubled in
bulk. Bake in moderate (375 de
gree) oven about 25 minutes.
Beat remaining egg white and
add enough to confectioners' su

cy. Drop from tip of spoon, mak
ing crosses on tops of buns. Mak
es two dozen.

PROSPECT

bard of Prospect was operated
on March 5 in. the Community
hospital of Medford. She is do
ing fine and- will return home
Wednesday.
Five students from Prospect
High were chosen to hold coun
ty offices for Student Govern
ment day. They were: Darwin
Bean, county treasurer; Bob
Jones, civil defense; Don An
dreson, veterans service; Giner
va Matthers, court secretary,
and Vera Pope, deputy county
clerk. All are seniors but Vera
Pope, who is a Junior.
Mrs. Marg Holmes of Pros
pect was operated on March 5
in the Sacred Heart hospital of
Medford. She is doing fine but
does not know when she will
return home.
is expected to exceed earlier es
timates by 10 per cent. Latest
figures say that 58 per cent of
all apricots are canned, 52 per
cent of the pears, half of the
red cherries, 39 per cent of the j
peaches and 18 per cent of the j
apples. We west coasters grow a j
lot of these, you know. I
Vegetable canning is almost
four times that for fruits. Forty
five states produce vegetables
for processing. California is
high on the acreage list with
nearly 200,000 acres planted to
vegetables.. About three-fourths
of all the tomatoes are canned,
10 per, cent of the peas, 60 per
cent of the sweet corn and
about 40 per cent of the green
beans. In recent years sweet
corn has replaced peas as the
largest volume canned vegetable
and the pack of canned beans
has shown spectacular growth.
Consumer use of canned
soups, baby food and canned
meats continues to climb. Can
ned fruit juice drinking is now
about 3Vz times the 1935-39 rate
which will surprise no one. Al
together, more than 500 differ
ent food items are now packed j
annually in approximately 20,
000,000,000 tin and glass con
tainers with retail value esti
mated' at $4,000,000,000.
Plastic Eggs
There's talk among foods writ
ers around New York concern
ing the packaging of hen fruit
in plastic and plenty of people
think the plastic protector is
here to stay. Time will tell, but
don't say that I didnt' tell you.
Actually 12 compartment plas
tic egg packets are being tested
in upstate New York. Seems
that a machine breaks the eggs
and drops them gently into
transparent plastic compart
ments which are then sealed by
another machine. When it is de
sirable to "separate" the eggs i
for icings, souffles and the like, j
the whites may be drained off j
via a hole in the compartment. '
Interesting, isn't it?
