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 !

three servings. Use any bruised
fruit at once.

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.

'Compensation Neurosis1 Claimed
ecomsnq
j BY DELOS SMITH !
i United Press Science Editor !
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

Boston (U.R) Massachu

asked to answer this question:
Does the telephone directory be

subscriber?
A superior court judge al
ready has ruled that the direct- j
ory belongs to the subscriber, j
The telephone company brought j
court action in an effort to pre- j
ent subscribers from putting;
plastic covers on directories.
The company contended that it ,
owned the directories.

continued the auth-' tence of a phvsical basis for their
ority, because "there are many
instances in which physical re
covery would be more gainful
to the patient than compensa
tion." "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. Also, he will continue his
attempt to prove the reality of
his disabilitv.

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.
