TWO MEDFORD (OREGOIf) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. Jun 29. 1958 Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Foud Editor Cantaloup Ig 5&sox)'il Delight Our Ion? growing season brings us ambrosial melons from May to December for pure pleas ure any tima from morning "eye opener" to midnight snack. Cant aloupes, then honeydews and honeyballs; later the Persians, Cranshaws and Casabas. All equally versatile. " Zuf to Fix. Simplest and most popular of all is to cut chill ed melons mto halves or half moons, remove seeds, serve with lemon or lime wedges andor sprinkling of salt. Melon Cup. For each serving fill a cantaloupe half with fresh seasonal fruits; peaches, berries, sliced bananas, pitted fresh sweet cherries or any combina tion therof. Garnish with sprigs of mint. For super occasion, top with your favorite sherbet. Sierra Snow. Cut thick round slices from chilled cantaloupe, remove rind from rings and ar range on serving plate. Full rings with melon balls or cubes from another melon or portion of slic ed melon. Top with peaks of sherbet Or fill center with sea soned cottage cheese. Rainbow Bowl. Fill chilled, peeled cantaloupe halves with balls or cubes of cantaloupe, hon eydew and watermelon. Place on bed of shredded lettuce. Serve with French dressing or a fresh fruit salad dressing. Sundse Deluxe. Fill cantaloupe halves with vanilla ice cream and top with coconut. Picnic Pointers Borrow Grills. When serving a large crowd, borrow three or four portable grills from your good neighbors to speed 'ip th cooking and keeping food Lot. Bring-Your-Own Steak. Each guest brings his own steak, chop or broiler-chicken half; cooks It to individual taste over glowing coals. Hostess supplies other food and soft drinks. Butter rolls at horns to save bother at picnic. Wrap green on ions, raw carrot strips, celery sticks first in dampened paper towel, then in waxed paper or foil to keep them crisp. Plenty of Newspaper. Use shopping bags for easy carrying of picnic supplies. Plenty of newspaper in packing will also come in handy for campf ire mak ing and for cleaning up. Table Cover. Cover picnic ta ble with substant'al wrapping paper thumb-tacked at corners. For decoration, use ready-pasted wallpaper trim in any fancied pattern, or local fe.-j or other greenery. Popular Cola Drinks Please the Children The children, we're often re minded, consider "colas" a spe cial treat. So we've rounded up a half dozen ways with them; ways that add good nutrition along with sparkling zest. Colas now come in three sizes includ ing a new economy size being in troduced in some markets. These suggestions use 12 ounces as the basis so figure accordingly. Fill two large glasses one-third full of fresh orange juice. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Fill up the glass wtih chilled bottled cola. One 12-ounce bottle makes two sodas. Crush one-half cup red rasp berries, add one-fourth cup su gar and let stand for 10 minutes. Strain to remove seeds. Place two generous tablespoons rasp berries in each of four tall glass es. Add several tablespoons of va nilla ice cream. Fill glass with chilled cola soft drink. Two 12 ounce bottles will make four so das. Fill, glass about three-quarters full of cola. Add scoop of lime sherbet: fill with cola and gar nish with lime slice and mint sprig. Put two tablespoons cream in tall glass. Add spoonful or two of cherry ice cream; fill glass with chilled cola soft drink. Picnic Check-List Simple fare is best. By select ing foods that can be prepared in advance, last minute fuss is eliminated. Just be certain it will pack well, carry well, be easy to eat. For easy handling, pack sal ads, deviled eggs, pickles or oth er moist foods in empty ice cream containers which can be disposed of. Vegetables for salads can be cleaned day before; kept in re frigerator. Desserts and rolls can be baked well in advance. For dessert, serve loaf cake that can be carried right in the pan. Or make or buy doughnuts which are so easily eaten. Remember salt, pepper, paper napkins, plates and cups, mus tard, matches, eating "hard ware." Aluminum foil covers and pro tects foods that have to be car ried to patio, back yard or that have to be packed in a basket and taken to far places. Foods can stand on picnic table until you're ready to serve them if tucked tightly with foil which won't blow away. Plentifuls Fill Markets With New Season Edibles Summer-time and our western way of life truly makes for easy living as we take to the woods, t the beach, the mountains, the picnic park . .-. and the back yard. Even inside eating takes on a new look as gardens, or chards, dairy lands and Pacific waters pour forth their bounty of good things at reasonable cost. We're economically among the favored few because our prices are lower due to short hauls. Al so we get the good things quick er being closer to the supply. Current blessings: Here come California peaches, strawberries, small Valencia oranges, water melons, cantaloupes, Long White potatoes, sweet corn, lettuce, snap beans, carrots, green pep pers, cucumbers, celery, toma toes, onions. Oregon-Washington crops feature potatoes, sweet corn, lettuce, snap beans, car rots with all berries increasing right along. Idaho boasts of fresh peas, red potatoes, lettuce, car rots, sweet corn, snap beans. Peaches putting in an appear ance include the very popular Red Haven, yellow-fleshed free stone; an excellent freezer and canner so talk It over with your fruit man. No better peach for slicing or eating out of hand. Early prices are high. Royal apricots are a delight but do not expect bargains. Santa Rosa plums were never better and there will be enough to go around for a month or so dut to the fact that they come from many different localities. Strawberries seem to appear in all qualities, all sizes, at a wide range of prices. Confer with your fruit man on supplies for "putting up." Season is short. Gooseberries, young berries and boysenberries make superb eat ing, are increasing in supply. Melons. Watermelon quality is generally good. Many bee stings are said to be sign of sweetness. Plentiful cantaloupes give eating pleasure morning, noon and night. Cherries are to be enjoyed at any cost. Tartarians, Lamberts, Bings, a few Queen Annes. Salad makers are abundant; lettuce, romaine, cabbage, cu cumbers and tomatoes (increas ing but not exactly bargains) make crisp cool eating. Commer cial salad dressing makers are GOOSE BITES POSTMAN Oklahoma City (U.R) Post man John Derschon said he fol lowed the advice of the Post Office Department to be wary of dogs, but the advice was short of adequate. Derschon had to be given time off to allow healing of a wound he received when a goose bit his leg. reminding us of variety, good ness and convenience of mayon naise and other glassed "dress ings." Best Buys. Fryers and broilers, stewing chickens along with plenty of canned cranberry sauce. Beef bargains in ground beef and long-cooking cuts. Watch for pork bargains, both fresh and smoked. Eggs, ice cream, peanut butter, canned tuna are big nutrition-packed values. Airmen Locked Up 14 Hours After Robbery Affempf Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) Two Air Force enlisted men, who staged a comic opera robbery to get money so they would feel "a little more secure," were se curely behind bars at the Berke ley jail today. They were charged with rob bery and face possible charges of kidnaping. Airman 1C Edward J. Curran, 26, Saranac, N.Y., and Airman 2C Kenneth Riley, 20, Winslow, Ariz., who has studied 'how to commit the "perfect crime," were in custody less than 14 hours after they raided the home of Charles Russell Rose in Oak land. Captured at Roadblock Curran was captured at a road block Thursday morning while forcing Rose to drive his car around residential Orinda less than hour after the crime. Rose was unharmed. Riley was apprehended Thurs day night when he returned to Rose's Tunnel Road home to pick up the auto he left behind in the abortive robbery-kidnap attempt Both men, stationed at Parks Air Force Base near Oakland, surrendered meekly and gave po lice unloaded guns as proof they meant Rose no harm. The two airmen gained en trance to Rose's home early Thursday posing as sanitation in spectors, but then demanded cash, stocks and bonds. Used Neckties They used the victim's neck ties to tie Rose's wife, Amy, 48, and his daughter, Susanne, 16. Helen Kung, who lives with the Roses, slipped out the back door and phoned the police. However, when Miss Kung re turned with a neighbor, Duka Hannaford, the airmen tied them both up, as well as a maid. Ber tha Mae Owens, who had just arrived at work. Patrolman Robert Fry arrived at the house and got the drop on Riley, but Curran threatened to shoot the Roses if Fry didn't go away. As Fry withdrew, Riley bolted for the rear of the house and Curran forced Rose into the the stockbroker's car and order ed him to drive. The drive ended at the police roadblock.
