In complsta confldencs-
Jim He thinks our girl's an
easy mark.
Bella An older boy may be
good for her.
o
Jim Our daughter. 16, has
met a young man who is seven
years older, and has suddenly
decided to drop all her boy
friends because they are mere
"babies." We would like to put a
stop to this attitude, but my wife
seems to agree with her.
Our daughter is the youngest
child in our family and has al
ways been quite a bit spoiled
and babyish herself, but she has
become very impatient with the
girls and boys of her own age
group. It seems to me that she is
running away from competition
and seeking shelter with older
people who may find her cute
and patronize her.
I am disturbed about the lat
est turn, because I cannot ima
gine a young man of 23 finding
her interesting, unless he feels
she Is naive enough to be easily
misled. I know that when I was
23, I would not as much as have
looked at a girl that young. I
cannot seem to convince my
wife that it is dangerous for our
daughter to seek the company of
much older young men.
Bella I think I am being real
istic. Our daughter is the kind of
girl who will want to be married
by the time she is 18, and she
certainly cannot hope to make a
good marriage among the boys
of her own age group, who face,
the prospect of military service
and may not be able to earn a
living for years to come.
My husband does not under
stand that a girl can grow up
fast. Our daughter has been a
little babyish up till recently,
but she is now quite mature for
her age and is becoming a wom
an under our very eyes. She cer
tainly does not seem out of
place when in the company of
the 23-year-old boy, but I think
it is much healthier that she
meet boys who will be eligible
for marriage in the near future.
The Council: It will not do to
generalize. Jim is surely justi
fied in being concerned, but the
mother also has a great deal of
reason on her side.
What about the young man?
Is he looking for an easy con
quest, as the father suspects? Or
is he, like the girl, retreating
from his age group, preferring
the admiration of a naive young
girl, to the sharpness of an older
girl?
It often happens that a girl
who is the youngest child is un
prepared for the cruelties and
crudities of competition in her
own age group and, therefore,
disposed to seek the benign com
pany of adults. But the attrac
tion between a girl of 16 and a
boy of 23 can be quite whole
some and enduring, given the
right combination of qualities.
Father and mother should stop
generalizing broadly and get
down to cases. Facts should be
brought out in conversation.
Both parents should abandon
fixed attitudes and seek enlight
enment. If this boy persists in
dating the girl, it will become
necessary to draw him out and
to determine whether the rela
tionship is a good one.
We strongly advise against
telling the girl that she is too
young to go out with a 23-year-old.
That would be a challenge
calculated to antagonize her and
move her to persist, because she
would want to prove that she
can manage older boys.
If the relationship seems unde
sirable, it should be attacked on
specific, supportable grounds,
but the age isue should not be
the basis.

Heavenly Pie
Accurate Description
This is that pie that "father"
has been telling you that his mo
ther used to make. It was heav
enly when he was very young
and it still is. Light as air and
meltingly -tender; a supreme
blend of delicate meringue and
velvet lemon filling with moist
coconut sprinkled around edge
4 eggs, separated
Vi teaspoon cream of tartar
IV cups sugar
10 saltine crackers, finely rolled
Moist coconut
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
!4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Beat egg whites (being sure
they are at room temperature)
and cream of tartar until they
stand in firm peaks. Gradually
beat in one cup sugar; continue
beating until very stiff and glos
sy. Fold in saltine cracker crumbs.
Spread mixture over bottom and
sides of well-greased; one-inch
pie plate. Spread bottom one
fourth inch thick, sides one inch
thick. Sprinkle edge with moist
coconut. Bake in cool oven, 275
degrees, 6 0 to 7 5 minutes.
Should be golden and crisp.
Cool. Beat egg yolks slightly in
top of double boiler. Stir in re
maining one-half cup sugar, lem
on juice, rind and salt. Cook un
til thick; stir constantly (about
eight to 10 minutes). When cool,
fold in cream. Spoon into cooled
meringue shell. Refrigerate 12
to 24 hours for best blending of
flavors. Before serving garnish
with whipped cream and grated
orange ocel if you like. Six to
eight servings.
French Fried Onions
And what does father order
with his steak? French fried on
ions and they're so easy to do at
home that we should remember
to have them more often. For
each four servings: Slice three
large mild peeled onions one
fourth inch thick; separate into
rings. Dip in one-half cup milk,
then in flour. Heat one quart sal
ad oil in three quart kettle to 380
degrees or until one-inch bread
cube browns in 35 seconds.
Meanwhile place onion rings in
frying basket. Do not overcrowd.
Fry until golden brown, about
two minutes. Drain on absorbent
paper. Keep in warm place until
all onion rings have been fried.
Season with salt. Serve immedi
ately. Try Foil Wrapping '
Long White Potatoes
California grown Long White
potatoes are at their plentiful
best. Thin skinned, shallow eyed,
they require only scrubbing, rub
bing generously with bacon fat,
salad oil (or how about a tangy
French dressing for a change)
and wrapping in aluminum foil.
For indoors baking, place foil
wrapped potatoes in a 425 degree
oven for about one hour or until
potatoes aretender. Open foil,
puncture with twin tined fork to
allow steam to escape. Slit and
serve with butter, seasoned sour
cream or with a cheese sauce.
For outdoors baking, prepare
the same way as for "indoors,"
then place on hot coals but not
the ones that are still flaming
red). Turn occasionally and in
about an hour they should be
ready for folding back foil, slit
ting and inserting slice of butter
or offering with seasoned sour
cream or cheese sauce. ' .
For outdoor grilling, many
like to pre-cook medium size po
tatoes then proceed like this: Cut
each pre-cooked potato in half
lengthwise. Sprinkle with sea
soned salt and place a thin piece
of cheese between halves. Place
stuffed potatoes in cooking foil.
Heat on grill or at edge of coals.
They should be ready by the
time the hamburgers, hot dogs
or kabobs are cooked.
Fresh Chinook Salmon
Gets Sauce Piquant
We sing the praises of fresh
Chinook salmon which many
think makes superb eating with
a barbecue sauce. Yessss, good,
but for that rarely delightful
salmon flavor, we like a little
less spiciness, just a piquancy
like this:
For four individual size sal
mon steaks, saute one clove fine
ly chopped garlic and one small
finely chopped onion in five ta
blespoons butter until just soft
Dust the fish with flour and add
to the pan. Cook until they are
nicely browned and just cooked
through.
Add two tablespoons lemon
juice, three tablespoons Worcest
ershire sauce and one-half cup
tomato sauce to the pan and let
it cook down for a minute. Re
move salmon to hot platter; pour
sauce over. Many think highly of
garlicked dill pickle to go with
this.
Market Attention Centers en
Dairy Products, Beef and Fruit
June is Dairy Month as we all
know, nence mere wui De con
tinued emphasis on all dairy i
products including milk in its
various fresh, cultured and dried
forms, ice cream, butter and, of
course, all those wonderful
cheeses . . . fresh cottage cheese,
cream cheese, mild through aged
Cheddar, and the specialty types
... all wonderful buys in good
nutrition. Keep all dairy prod
ucts "clean, cool and covered"
for best results.
Beef will be in abundance for
the next few weeks. When com
paring prices of the various cuts
remember to calculate the
amount of fat and bone involved, i
Buy carefully and cook proper
ly. Ground beef and the less ten-;
der cuts are as loaded with good
flavor and nutrition as are the
more expensive cuts. For a real
treat . . . ask your butcher to run
a flank steak through his tender
izer. When you are ready to cook i
it dip in seasoned flour and pan
fry.
Fruit Department. Cantaloupe :
. . . that any-time-of-the-day fruit
with a luscious flavor and lots of
vitamins A and C ... is reaching
its peak of perfection and price
is falling. Watermelon prices are i
dropping and will continue to do )
so. Do enjoy strawberries right
now. A large percentage of
strawberries are marked for
use by commercial freezers and j
packers so prices are likely to
remain firm. With this in mind
. if you plan on home preserv
ing some their luscious red
goodness don't keep waiting for
that real "low-down" buy be-:
cause it may not materialize.
Check with your fruit and vege
table man for the best buy. Cher
ries: Black Tartarians, Bings and
Lamberts are coming to market
in increasing quantities. Apri
cots are putting in their first ap
pearance. All citrus fruits con
tinue in good supply.
Vegetable buys are many. !
Crisp celery to add crunchiness
to potato, fruit or molded salads. ,
A wonderful flavor addition to
soups, casseroles, sauces and oth
er cooking ... or just serve it
stuffed with some of that "bargain-rated"
cheese. Cabbage is
still in the best buy bracket and
what could be tastier than a hot
or cold cabbage slaw. Corn is in
creasing in quantity and quality
right along. Squash: Summer,
Italian and yellow are all avail
able at good prices. The rule for
cooking squash is "cook only un
til tender never until mushy!"
Carrots, onions, long white pota
toes, broccoli, lettuce and spin
ach are all good buys. Asparagus
season will soon be over ... en
joy it while you may.
