Usually chilled and served with salt, lemon or lemon juice, they combine admirably with fruits, berries, ice cream; occasionally wind up in fancy deserts like these Chiffon Cups. The recipe is included in today's food columns. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Western Ways with Cantaloupes. Oihr Melons High in eating delight, low in cost, markets over-flow with luscious, full - flavored can tapopes, ripe and ready honey dews, pale honey-like honev- balls, orange - fleshed Persian melons along with the coolingest of all summer delights, water melon. Comparative new-comer, the Cranshaw, cross between Persian and Casaba is with us too with its spicy flavor. Our long growing season brings us ambrosial melons from May to December. Melon time begins with the famous can taloupes from the Imperial Valley and warm desert valleys of Arizona. Harvest continues from other districts moving northward through Oregon and Washington bringing us many melon varieties as the season advances. Local melons are of very good quality. Take time to get better acquainted with most popular varieties; find out how versatile they are. Consider cantaloupes which have been enjoyed for more than 4.000 years and all that time used only in the fresh state since they have no by-products such as vinegar, sugar, sirup or brandy. Hish in nutrition including vitamins A and C. low in cal ories, they are the summer answer to many a weight watch er's prayer. Cantaloupes most often are served chilled with salt, lemon or lime juice. They combine well with many fruits, berries, other melons and ice cream; appear as appetizer, salad, dessert and are highly regarded for snacking. Honeydews are larger than the honeyballs; creamy yellow mel ons weighing four to six pounds. They are bluntly oval in shape and usually smooth but may be' slightly netted. A fruit, pleasant fragrance. Flesh is a delicate green, very juicy, very sweet, fine textured. Honey balls are similar in size to cantaloupes and also similar in shape though slightly more round. Flesh is thick, ex tremely sweet and has distinc tive flavor which is less pungent than the cantaloupe. These keep well: can be bought and held for several days. Persian melons are the large round melons which range from two to eight pounds in weight. Rind is a deep green and is very evenly covered with a fine nett ing similar to that of the can taloupe. Flesh is a deep orange pink, very thick and mildly sweet: Many think flavor of Per sians unexcelled and they have a distinctly pleasant aroma. Cranshaw melons are com paratively new and of excep tional quality. Very perishable, these gold and green melons are pointed at the stem end and round at the base. Rind is smooth and the salmon-colored flesh is thick, juicy and very rich in a spicy flavor. Watermelons have been enjoy ed cold for thousands of years. Offered whole, halved or quar tered in most markets, they're refreshing but low in balories. Best when very cold! Versatile Melons All melons are excellent as breakfast fruit. Persians, honey balls, honeydews can be used ex actly like cantaloupes. Cran shaws and the casabas which come later, are especially good in fruit salads and both are su perb dessert melons as is water melon. All are good mixers. Melon Cup Cocktail For each serving of melon cup cocktail, fill a small to medium cantaloupe half with fresh sea sonal fruits such as peaches. pears, berries, sliced bananas, pitted cherries. Garnish with sprigs of mint. For something super special, top with any favored sherbet. Sierra Snow Peak Cut thick slices from a chilled cantaloupe or honeydew. Re move rind from slices and place on serving plates. Fill rings with balls or cubes cut from bowls of the melon. Top with peaks of any favored sherbet. Perfect Picnickers There's just nothing finer for a picnic dessert than chilled. ripe melons. Chill the picnic mel ons overnight. Wrap in several thicknesses of brown paper or newspaper to keep them good and cold. Cut just before serving. Judge Goes Free Hillsboro (U.R) Circuit Judge Ralph Holman yesterday afternoon dismissed the case against Washington County Judge Harry Seabold for lack of sufficient evidence.' Judge Seabold had been in dicted by the county grand jury on a charge of accepting a real estate commission from the sale of a tract of land the county had formerly owned. Judge Holman, of Oregon City, made his decision after the de fense moved for complete acquittal. TABLE TREffiS FROM THE FAMOUS .M.C.P. KITCHEN LABORATORY r r.ua ati mutual cuius products, co. wV-WfK.
