Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Plentiful Tuna T a m i with Arecade in Shimmering Salad for Faitiy Luncheon Molded salads are tremendous ly popular in our part of the country as every party-goer knows. The family likes them, too; deserve a very special one like this occasionally. Gelatin molds are praise-worthy as salad course, dessert and often as a main dish. So for the "salad set" here's an attractive, appetizing ring mold that makes an ideal main dish Spring salad. Fine for serving indoors, this Tuna Avocado ring is chock full of flavor as well as being nutritious and satisfying. Economical, too! Fruit-flavored gelatin costs a trifle. Canned tuna is being specialed. For this we. recommend the very best, the solid-pack tuna. Avocados are at production peak, prices probably lowest of the season. Molded in two layers; lemon gold topping a delicate green base. Top layer is poured into your prettiest ring mold, chilled almost firm; then second layer poured over first layer. Easy to make, can be molded a day in advance, stored in refrigerator. To serve, unmold on bed of salad greens, garnish with equal parts of sour ceam and mayonnaise.

Fold tuna mixture into slightly thickened gelatin. Pour into 2Vi quart mold and chill until al most firm. Layer 2: 1 package lime-flavored gelatin Vi teaspoon salt 1 cup hot water 1 cup cold water 1 tablespoon lemon juice X tablespoons mayonnaise 1 avocado, pared and mashed Dissolve gelatin and salt in hot water. Add cold water and lemon juice. Chill until thicken ed. Stir in mayonnaise and av ocado, blending well. Pour over first layer and chill until firm. Unmold. Garnish with mayon naise or salad dressing, if desir ed. Six servings. Arocado Buying Memo Avocados are still relatively new in many parts of the United States. They're readily available here at reasonable cost because they're California-grown. Like many other fruits, avocados must be softened off the trees. They are mature before picking, but not ready for eating when picked. Big ones are today's buy. Softening process takes from a few days to two or three weeks, depending on the maturity and storage temperatures. When an avocado is at its "eating best," it gives ever so little when held between cupped hands and pres sed gently. Never pinch an av ocado. Buy "soft" to serve same day. Buy "firm" to serve in three to six days. Firm avocados will soften at room temperature. They will not ripen in the refrig erator. Refrigerate only when a soft avocado cannot be used im mediately. To preserve the bright fresh cut color, sprinkle with lime or lemon juice. Darkening however does not affect flavor. Any por tion left over should be wrapped tightly in waxed paper or alu minum foil before placing in refrigerator. Darkened surface can be easily removed by scrap ing lightly with knife. To serve an avocado, most pop ular use perhaps is on the half shell with lemon or lime juice, salt and pepper or with a tart French dressing. Toss cubes in green salads; serve half moon slices with grapefruit sections on shredded lettuce bed. Tuna Talk There are three principal grades of canned tuna; the solid pack tuna which consists of three large pieces of loins with a small percentage of smaller pieces to fill out the can. This is definitely recommended when looks are important, such as when prepar ing a molded or other fancy salad. Then there's chunk-size for some fancy fixing and ingredient uses . . . and the flake or grated tuna which consists of the small pieces and proves ideal for sand wich making. Popular can size is the seven-ounce for the solid pack tuna and 6V4 ounce can for SHIMMERING GELATIN Plentiful tuna, colorful pimiento- go into a shimmering lemon-flavored gelatin that tops a base of flavorful pale green avocado and mayonnaise for an ideal main course spring salad. Recipes are included in today's food columns. chunk size and grated tuna. All are excellent buys; packed with good flavor and nutrition. Ham Slice with Barianai Fruits arc a natural flavor compliment to ham. Canned spiced peaches or crab apples have long nestled alongside ham slices but had you thought of crispy banana scallops? For each four servings, score fat edges and broil or bake VA in center-cut ham slice. To make banana scallops, peel three not-too-ripe bananas and cut cross wise into one-inch pieces. Lightly beat one egg; dip banana slices, then roll in cornflakes using one cup finely crushed cornflake crumbs Fry in deep fat for 1V to two minutes. Arrange around ham slice. Shredded Beets Very good eating as well as being a welcome color - note. Here's way of cooking beets that gives you every bit of their sweet flavor and quickly. Peel and shred whole young beets. Place in a broad saucepan. Add the smallest possible amount of water needed to keep beets from scorching. Cover tightly. Boil gently until beets are crispy tender; about 10 minutes. Season with butter, salt and pepper. - And don't throw away those beet tops. If they're crisp and tender, save them for another meal and cook as you would any other green. For easy beet shredding, leave about two inches of the tops on the beets to act as a "handle." No grated fingers!

Government Has Fish Information Washington CU.R) If yQU want to know anything about fish and don't want a fish story the gover.iment now has the of ficial information. It has just completed the in dexing of all government fish ery publications from the time the federal government took of ficial interest in commercial fishing in 1871 to 1954. Topics range from the control of fungus on pike eggs to how to cook shrimp. The information, contained in "Circular 36," can be had for $1.50 from the government prin ting office. . Milwaukee.W is.

Garden Notes By C B. C0RDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture Most soils are warm enough now so that our hot weather lov ing plants can be seeded at this time. Melons, squash, cucumbers and beans can all be seeded at this time. These plants are very tender to frost but by the time the seeds have come up the frost danger should be over except in the colder locations. These plants are all heavy feeders and will respond quick ly to an application of fertilizer. They are particularly fond of or ganic materials so the addition of a shovel full of manure or leaf mold in each hill will increase early growth. If chemical fer tilizers are used an ounce of com plete fertilizer placed 2 to 4 in ches to one side of the seed and about 4 inches deep would be very good. Not Damage Roots This is far enough away so that the seed and the young rootlets will not be damaged but as soon as the roots get out into the soil they can feed on this fertilizer and it is while these plants are ' in the young seedling stages that they can benefit most from a complete type of fertilizer. A second planting of corn can also be made at this time. As the advantage of earliness has al ready been lost use a high qual ity mid-season corn such as Golden Cross Bantam. This is the old standby variety but it is still the highest quality corn and is a good one to grow both in the home garden and -commercially. If trouble has been exper ienced with worms or grubs eat ing up the seed this can be re duced by placing the seed In a paper bag along with a small amount of lindane or chlordane and shaking it so that the seed becomes thoroughly coated. The seeds should then be removed and planted. Do not place the rest of the insecticide on to the seeds or it's germination will be damaged. Thursday. May 3, I95B MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NIN1 O&C Logging Road Changes Announced Washington (U.R) Acting Secretary of the Interior Clar ence A. Davis today announced four changes in regulations gov erning rights of way for logging roads in western Oregon on O & C timber lands. In effect the new regulations will permit the use of rights of way covered by future road use agreements during arbitra tion on fees; permit the Bureau of Land Management and pri vate owners to exchange use on their respective roads with out charge; to substitute per manent easements over private ly owned lands for rights of way acquired under road-use agree ments; and to ascertain prior to timber stale how much private land holders will charge for use of roads they own. Davis said that although other changes to the regulations might have to be made in the future, he felt that the improvements made would prove to make reg ulations far more workable than under the old plan. COLORFUL SQUAD CARS Dearborn, Mich. U.R) Mrs. Marguerits C. Johnson, Dearborn's public safety direct or, picked out the city's new police cars and it's obvious that the selection had a woman's touch. The cars all pastels are 11 different colors. The shades include robin egg blue, pink and yellow. GORILLA HUNT Fort Worth, Tex. U.R) Two officials- of Fort Worth's zoo are going after a baby gorilla soon but they won't go to Africa. Instead, they'll fly to Amsterdam, Holland, where they expect to purchase the year old animal for $4,000. i . m FLAVOR. and QUALITY EVRWN IS PROUD TO SERVE ENRICHED! LONG SPAGHETTI ELBOW SPAGHETTI COIL SPAGHETTI EUROPEAN STYLE COIL VERMICELLI 'NEST IN QUALITY FOR OVER 40 YEA, Gloria Swanson Learns of Perfume History on Visit To French Center By GLORIA SWANSON Written for United Press Monte Carlo (U.R) Perfum ed gloves during the reign of Louis XIV started the village of Grasse in the mountains above here on a new and profitable career perfume essence. About 300 years ago a lady of the French court, possibly Ma dame de Montespan, decided her gloves must be scented. This co quettish style note was accom plished at Grasse where most court gloves were made. Glovemaking at Grasse vanish ed but the essence of perfumery did not. It remained with the help of the sunny Riviera climate furnishing most of the raw ma terials flowers galore. Grasse all these years has been the es sence manufacturing center of France. In a battle of perfume today there is 20 per cent essence and 80 per cent ethyl alcohol. The essence contains some 40 to 50 different raw materials, half from nature and the remainder chemicals. What an art it is! And how it has changed since the turn of the century. Only pure flower scents were original ly used. Now chemicals bring a wider range and more variations of basic scent. Until recently it was impossible to get a true car nation or lilly of the valley per fume. Now, by adding synthetics and chemicals, this is possible. All the things which go into a perfume are not always in them selves pleasant to smell, such as ambergris from the sperm whale, a substance from the civet cat or musk from the male musk deer. Well do I know. On my visit to the Antoine Chiris plant, established 188 years ago, my long nose, was not only pleased by a variety of lovely tragrances but repelled by odors emanating from laboratories, storerooms and vaults. I felt drunk as I left and went motoring in the rain, but quickly sobered up as the rain turned to hail. My heart sunk, as no doubt did the peasants'. For only a few months before their precious acres of flowers and ' blossoms had been frozen under snowfall and frost. Now hail. Any that had survived would now be finished. It would take possibly five years to get flowers like them again. Meantime what happens to the perfume? Only the chemist knows. All other human adults know is that only babies and puppies are sweet without it., MM- BEWARE Of IMITATIONS LOOK FOR THE HAPPY UTTLS DOG teppr TOPS IN QUALITY!
