Golden Apricots Apricot boughs are bendine now with luscious apricots for entinc oni-of -hand. in fresh fruit salads, fruit dumplincs. souffles and whips. Many are going into apricot butter, pre serves, conserve, jams. They're being canned and frozen, spiced and pickled. Luscious Peaches Peaches are our fourth most popular fruit, following apples, bananas and oranges. The west coast produces well above half j the nation's total peach crop. A most versatile fruit, peaches are i upsurpassed for eating out-of-hand. They're canned and frozen in tremendous quantities, go into bakery pies, cakes and tarts. They're popular for jellies, pre serves, nectar and are enjoyed pickled. They're marketed in dried form besides making ex cellent brandies and cordials. Peach Storage. Peaches should be stored in flat pan, one layer deep, in the refrigerator. Peel just before using. If they must stand, cover with orange, lemon or pineapple juice. Figure on one ! pound sliced peaches for two to three servings. Use any bruised fruit at once. Spica Cake Gett Peach Sauce Topping Here fresh peaches go into a delectable sauce for topping a tender spice cake made by the wonder-quick method with only one bowl for the mixing. Re sult looks like our picture today. The sauce, tapioca-thickened is easy to make; a perfect ac companiment. 2 2 cups sifted cake flour 1 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder 1 teaspoon soda 3,4 teaspoon salt 3- teaspoon cinnamon 3 1 teaspoon cloves 1 cup shortening 2 3 cup firmly packed brown sugar Sour malk or buttermilk 2 eggs, unbeaten "With vegetable shortening use 1 1 4 cups sour milk or butter milk. With butter or margarine, use one cup plus two tablespoons sour milk or buttermilk. Into sifter, measure sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and spices. Into mixing bowl, place short ening: stir just to soften. Sift in dry ingredients. Add brown sugar and one cup of the milk and mix until all flour is dam pened. Then beat two minutes at a low speed of electric mixer or 300 vigorous strokes by hand. Add eggs and remaining milk and beat one minute longer in mixer or 150 strokes by hand. Baking. Pour batter into two 9x9x2 inch pans which have been lined on bottoms with paper. Bake in moderate oven, 375 degrees. 25 to 30 minutes. Cool. Cut cake in squares. Serve with this sauce: Fresh Peach Sauce. In a sauce pan, combine two cups fresh ! sliced peaches and three-fourth cup sugar; let stand 15 minutes. Add l'.s to two tablespoons i quick-cooking tapioca, l'-2 cups water and a dash of salt. Cook and itir over medium heat mix ture comes to a boil. Add lemon juice. Remove from heat. Cool 15 minutes; stir. Serve warm on Spice Cake.

Thursday, July 19, 1956 i Girl Remembers ! Fishing Trip Prior To Auto Accident ! Salt Lake City U R Jean ' Margetts remembered yesterday that she had been fishing with her fiance, Jim Hixon, June 24 but still could not voluntarily re call any details of an accident that night in which Hixon was killed and she was injured. The ! 8-year-old Sunnyvale, Calif., girl, who lay in the wreck age of an automobile on a Utah hillside for nine days after Hix- ' on did, brought up Hixon's name for the first time yesterday since she was rescued July 3. In conversation with her doc tors at Latter-Day Saints hospi tal, she remembered some of the details of the fishing trip to Strawberry Reservoir that pre- i ceded the accident. i Identifies Companion A report from the hospital said that in the conversation, Miss Margetts several times used the pronoun "we." Questioned as to who her com panion was, Jean reportedly said "it was Jim." "However, she does not recall any incident relative to the auto mobile accident or her survival following the crash," a hospital spokesman added. As far as he knows. Miss Margetts does not yet realize Hixon is dead. Miss Margetts. who suffered from exposure, starvation, dehy dration and a pelvis fracture, was reported in "satisfactory condition." The hospital said she enjoyed a quiet night and slept : well. 1 ' l cups cider vinegar .t cups beet or cane sugar 1 teaspoon mace 1 ; teaspoon each ginger and nutmeg. Cook peeled, quarted and pit ted peaches with vinegar in large preserving kettle about 10 minutes or until soft: press through colander or sieve; mea sure about 6n4 cups pulp back into kettle. Stir in sugar and spices thoroughly: bring quickly to a bubbling boil. Reduce heat and cook about 15 minutes (or until thick heavy drops run together off clean metal spoon) stirring often. Re move from heat; skim. Pour into hot sterilized jars and seal at once. Makes about six half pints. Plentiful Plums California is the largest pro ducer of plums in the United States with Washington and Ore gon also producing major crops. This year's crop is 'way above the 10-year average. Of all stone fruits, plums have the largest number and greatest diversity of kinds and species, said to num ber over 2,000 varieties. Fresh plums are excellent for eating out-of-hand. They have refreshing tart sweetness in pies, stewed fruit, preserves, jellies and jams. They're tasty in ice cream, in puddings and Bavarian cream: in cakes, tarts and pas tries. They're canned, frozen and bottled into juice. They add handsome color note and distinc tive flavor to fruit salad. Plums and fresh prunes run 15 to 20 per pound. One and one-half to two pounds makes one quart of sauce. Refrigerate or hold in cool, dark, humid place. Use soon. Plum Betty Plum Bettv is a dessert de- i light to be served warm with i slightly sweetened cream sprin ! kled with cinnamon. For each four servings, proceed like this: j 21 2 cups coarse bread crumbs S red plums cup chopped nuts I 1 2 cup sugar j 2 tablespoons butter Cream Lightly toast crumbs in oven. Wash and cut up plums coarsely, discarding the pits. Sprinkle bottom of greased glass baking pan (3,,2x71.2x212 inches or com parable size) with a layer of crumbs. Then arrange alternate layers of plums, nuts and crumbs sprinkling each layer with sugar until all is used. Finish with layer of crumbs on top. Dot with butter, bake uncovered in a moderate oven, 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until Betty is nicely browned. Serve warm as suggested above. Ripe Plum Relish j This ripe plum relish is so ! easily made, so satisfactory for i offering with any meat, poultry. Use about two pounds fully : ripe plums, sugar, vinegar and I one-half bottle fruit pectin. To prepare fruit pit but do not peel about two pounds fully j ripe plums. Cut in pieces and j chop fine. Add one-fourth to one j teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves and allspice according to family taste. Many like the limit, with teaspoons leveled, j naturally. Measure 3'.2 cups i fruit into a very large saucepan. To make the relish add 6V2 cups sugar and one-half cup vinegar to spiced fruit in sauce pan and mix well. Place over high heat, bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove j from heat and at once stir in ' bottled fruit pectin. Then stir land skim by turns for five min utes to cool slightly to prevent floating fruit. Ladle quickly in I to glasses. Paraffin at once. Makes about 10 six - ounce jglassej. - !

New York !U.R All Amer-; ; icans ought to know that a well ' : hidden neurotic disease is be coming increasingly common : ; among them. Tu be forwarned i could mean protection. ! It is "compensation neurosis." ' j To insurance companies it is an i intensifying king-size nuisance. J i But psychiatrists see it as an un-! conscious drive in grown men to return to the passive bliss of their babyhoods. Insurance companies won't talk about it. They're afraid talk might spread it. Doctors talk ; about it, naturally. They're ex-; pected to cure it. and once it j gets going in an individual its a j stumper. ! Newest Talking Authority The University of Texas school of medicine is the newest scien- j tific authority to talk about it. j Speaking to physicians general-j ly. it said the reason for the in- j crease is obvious. "Compensa- j tion" is more and more avail- j able. ; It spoke specifically of ac-1 cidents in industry but the disease develops out of other accidents, particularly automo bile accidents. Industries and motor vehicles are insured and so is the source of "compensa tion." "The patient with compensa tion neurosis genuinely believes that he is ill or disabled." said the authority. "He further be lieves the existence of his sick ness to be incontestable, and that it is a result of a major or j minor accident which he has received "on the job." ; Not True Motivation Oddly, the prospect of getting j monetary compensation isn't al-i ways the true motivation. "The j secondary gain of enforced j dependency may often be the Court To Rule on Owner Of Telephone Directories Boston (U.R) Massachu setts' supreme court will be asked to answer this question: Does the telephone directory be long to the company or to the subscriber?

"Apparently a disability pen sion satisfies the neurotic needs of dependency and permits re gression to a less active role. To the neurotic patient then, these marginal or minimal compensa tions of dependence are worth more in self-defeat than the re turn which constructive invest ment of the same amount of energy could bring." Unfortunately for the peace of mind of the doctor who has been unable to find anything wrong with the patient's body and so has nothing to treat, few of the victims of the disease will let him call in a psychiatrist to work on their minds. "Such patients," said the authority, "have a com pulsive need to prove to them- Storage of Seeds Declared Important Geneva, N. Y. (U.R) The New York state agricultural ex periment station at Cornell uni versity says several factors must be taken into consideration when planting seeds left over from last year. Whether or not such seeds pro duce a crop depends on the kind of seed, how it was produced, care in harvesting and handling, storage conditions and other fac tors must be considered. The station points out that cel ery, lettuce, parsnip and onion seeds do not keep as well as bean, beet and tomato seeds. Seeds kept in a hot attic during summer are not likely to produce a crop. Seeds should be stored in a dry but cool spot to retain their vigor. Volcanic 'Eruption' Hurts School Children Detroit (U.R) Karl Kramer, fourth grade teacher at the Jack son school, was a little too real istic in showing his pupils how' a volcano erupts Kramer mold ed a miniature volcano out of clay and placed charcoal in the crater. He lit the charcoal and poured alcohol into the crater. Two pupils were burned in the ensuing eruption.

Emphasize Disadvantages What tiie doctor should do is to "emphasize the disadvantages of minimal monetary gain of compensation as compared with the advantages of rehabilitation and subsequent restoration of earning power." It is best for the patient that he get no compensa tion, but if he does it should be a lump sum settlement rather than a series of weekly benefits. The latter makes his disability "a gainful occupation." The psychiatrist work with a victim of the disease should "at tempt to regenerate the will for rehabilitation. Otherwise the pa tient will remain satisfied with an adjustment on a non-responsible or infantile level of depend ence.

Seoul Tearooms Favorite Spots To Cook Up Deals beoul ;u.R) If you re a stranger in town and you've got a hankering to buy the Han Kiv er bridge or compose a Korean hill-billy song, one of Seoul's 400 odd tearooms is the place to get started. Nature by day and the electric company by night have a big say as to what quantity of illumina tion the tearooms will get. But only the customer decides how his favorite hangout should be decorated. There are places for politi cians, for merchants and for ar tists. They visit them regularly and often. It is a flying guess that a whop ping percentage of all the events which rock the city each year assassinations, political maneuv ers, top drawer business deals are initially framed in the dimly lit tearooms. Wisps of steam from piping hot glasses of black tea, coils of cigaret smoke and fumes from potbelly oil stoves drift through the gloom like lonesome smog. Huddled groups of men and a few women bunch around tiny tea tables in whispered secrecy. Off in an obscure corner, a phonograph of vintage circa 1930 mSmm drones out raspy records sam bas. Sibelius and swing. Each room has about three plain-looking waitresses who lurk about in the semi-darkness taking orders and answering mu sical requests. The hangouts, reminiscent of Hernando's Hideaway, have equally inviting names Come and Go. Renaissance, Can-do. Town Star, My Heart, South Pal ace. Harmony of the East. The Japanese started the tea room system after World War I. At the end of the Korean war the tearooms began attracting a steady flow of customers. With many homes badly dam aged or completely leveled by the war, the tearooms became the living room for thousands of city dwellers who had no other place to entertain their friends and keep the gossip circuit alive. It wasn't long before politi cians began gathering in their own select spots, while artists, bankers, merchants, and others chose other tearooms catering to their own special likes. No meals are served, only tea, coffee and sometimes mixed drinks. Few foreign faces are seen. r V
