Feeding the Family

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

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

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.
