Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Halibut Treat! Tender and Sweet Fish eaters are finding delight in halibut, the mighty flounder of the north Pacific. It offers fine flavor, nutritive values; is economical and ensy to prepare, Both fresh and frozen halibut steaks and fillets are abundant make good eating indoors or out doors. Halibut can be barbecued broiled, baked or poached. Plan for leftovers to add interest to green salads another day. Poached seasoned halibut steaks have distinction. Plan l'.i pounds for four generous serv ings. Boil together two cups wa ter, 1V4 teaspoons salt, one slice lemon, one slice onion separated into rings, a bay leaf, few pepper corns and sprigs of parsley or celery leaves. Boil five minutes reduce heat. Add halibut steaks, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. If fish is thick, turn once during cooking". Do not ov er cook. Serve hot with drawn butter, shrimp sauce or other sauce using the fish stock. Orange Fried Chicken Plentiful fryers get orange sauced for a dish that will de light family and friends. Take cut-up frying size chicken and coat pieces by shaking in a bag containing one-half cup flour. two teaspoons grated orange rind, two teaspoons paprika, two teaspoons salt and one-fourth tea spoon ground pepper. Brown slowly in medium hot fat in skil let, turning with tongs. When chicken is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes, reduce heat and add one tablespoon water. Cover tightly and cook slowly until fork-tender, another 20 or 25 minutes. If you like crisp skin, uncover during last eight or 10 minutes to recrisp skin. Remove chicken to warm plat ter and prepare gravy as usual substituting juice of one orange for an equal amount of milk. Pour over chicken or pass sauce In a gravy boat. Frosty Frolic.

Slowly add one six-ounce can of frozen lemonade, blending thoroughly. Add sugar to taste; pour into tray and freeze firm, stirring at least twice during freezing.

Plenty of poultry of all kinds with specials on fryers, broilers and stewing chickens for enjoy ing now and for home freezing for economical meals later also. Small turkeys for frying, broil ing, barbecuing. Lots of larger turkeys for roasting for fine eat ing same day and for (many think) even better eating when cold. Pork cuts from the loin and spare ribs for barbecuing, brais ing, stuffing or serving with sauerkraut are very good buys. Bacon is low in cost but remem ber that it doesn't store well; should be used within the week. Beef bargains continue in ground beef for making hambur gers, meat loafs, meat -balls. Lamb is an exceptionally good buy for this season of the year. Fine for roasting and for lemon- marinaded shishkabob grilled over coals or oven-broiled. Eggs are very good buys in both large and medium size, A and AA grade. Buy from refrig erated cases and refrigerate them as soon as you get them home. A couple of days at room tempera ture makes grade B eggs of grade A eggs. Berries are seasonal delight. Strawberries are of good quality with season past peak. Boysen berry and other bush berries are increasing in supply with season all too short. Talk over berry freezing and preserving plans with fruit man. Enjoy them while you can without expecting bargain prices. If you find a bar gain, grab it quickly, take it home, "put it up." Other Fruits. Cherries of our coast-grown sweet varieties offer seasonal eating pleasure. Prices with only occasional exceptions are not low; not likely to be. Peaches, plums, apricots, nectar ines are arriving in greater quan tity. Cantaloupes are of good qual ity at reasonable cost. Chilled watermelon makes fine eating. Vegetable bins offer good buys in snap beans, cauliflower, cab bage, celery, corn, cucumbers eggplant, potatoes, onions, sum mer squash. Plenty of makings for tossed green salads. Good to matoes are likely to be expen sive since quality ranges widely, Portland Will Screen Charity Organizations .
