Two Workmen Hurt In Redmond Blast Redmond (U.R) Two work men were injured Tuesday when an explosion shook the business district of this central Oregon town. The condition of Harold Castle was listed as critical while that of Don Stewart was not consid ered as serious. The two men were known to have been using dynamite earlier in a hole they were digging as a base for a signboard. When the blast came. Castle was in the hole using a jackhammer. Castle was blown out of the hole, several feet deep, by the force of the explosion. One theory was that the hammer might have hit a stick of dyna mite that had not exploded earl ier in the day. Castle suffered injuries to his chest, face and leg. FISH AT THE EAST SIDE MARKETS BIG FISH POND THIS SATURDAY! THE LARGER THE PURCHASE THE BIGGER THE CATCH!

Wine Bottles In Lodi, this week-end, Calif ornia grape and wine growers are celebrating with their twenty-second annual Grape Festival and National Wine Show. And they've good reason for rejoicing! California's vine yards are world famous. Calif wines rank with the world's best. Raisins too are an important part of California's multi-million dollar grape crop. This is a good year for grapes. Quality is exceptionally good though quantity is only slightly above the 10-year average. Bou quet of grapes fills the air and market bins are piled high with luscious grapes which are most ly eaten out-of-hand, though some go into salads, fruit cups and as stewed fruit. Grapes are also a colorful, dramatic part of almost every decorative fruit "arrangement" of buffets and dining tables. Four Types of Grapes Grapes to be consumed fresh are commonly called table grapes and that is the type in which homemakers are most in terested at this time. Grapes however fall into 4 general clas ses according to the purposes for which they are best suited. These groups are (1) table grapes. (2) wine grapes, (3) raisin grapes and (4) sweet (unfermented) juice grapes. Growers point out that any variety can be ferment ed into a kind of wine, can be eaten fresh, dried into raisins or made into sweet grape juice; but each variety is usually bet ter suited to one of these pur poses than to others. Varieties, Care More than 6,000 varieties of grapes have been named and described but only 40 or so are commercially important and of the table varieties, only 13 are important to us as consumers. These are Emperor, Thompson seedless, Tokay, Red Malaga, Ribier, Allmeria, White Malaga, Cardinal, Niagara, Catawba, Lady Fingers, Cornichon, Mus cat. New York and Washington state lead in production of Con cords which are used largley for juice and jelly making, though some are eaten out-of-hand. Grapes are best kept in refrig erator at 30 or so degrees with high humidity. If held, they should be looked over often and any showing signs of decay or mold should be removed from the stems with a clip of the scissors. Keep scissors handy alongside grapes for easy snipping of small clusters. .Few things look mes sier than a bunch of grapes from which a few grapes have been plucked. Braised Beef Favorite of San Joaquin Valley In this recipe for braised beef, long a family favorite for good eating, a half cup of California Sherry wine adds distinctive flavor giving dish a festive flair for "company" too. Vi cup flour Salt and pepper 2 pounds round steak cut Vi inch thick 2 tablespoons any fat 2 cups canned tomatoes cup California Sherry 2 carrots, thinly sliced Vi cup sliced celery 1 large onion, thinly sliced 1 bay leaf Mix flour, salt and pepper; pound into meat with potato ; masher or edge of heavy plate. Cut pounded meat across grain into narrow strips about 2 inches long. Heat fat in large, heavy skillet or a' Dutch oven; add meat and brown nicely on all sides. Add remaining ingredients; season to taste with salt and pep per. Bring to a simmer; cover and simmer gently IVi hours or until very tender, stirring oc casionally. Egg noodles simply seasoned with butter, salt and pepper is perfect accompaniment for this. Cooking with Wine Many western cooks depend on wine to add zest and sparkle to foods; use it as a seasoning like salt and pepper, herbs and garlic; feel that it compliments the natural goodness of foods. There's no trick to cooking with j wine. Beginners usually like to follow a recipe out soon learn that you can satisfactorily add a little wine at a time until it I tastes "just right" according to individual tastes. There's no such thing as a "cooking" wine. If it's good enough to cook with, it's good ; enough to drink. Folks of the Wine Advisory Board say that i while almost any wine can be ' used with almost any food, there are natural taste harmonies be tween certain wines and foods. Take Sherry for example. Its flavor harmonizes with a variety of foods: with soups and sherry is a "natural" in sauces for pud- i dings and fruits. The white table wines such as Sauteme and Rhine wine are delicate in flavor the perfect complement to the delicate flavors of fish, chicken, lamb and veal. i The red table wines such as I Burgundy and Claret, being more robust in flavor, go well with red meats. They're excel lent in spaghetti and cheese dish. And you can improve the flavor and texture of inexpen sive cuts of meat by marinating them in red wine for serval hours before cooking. The dessert wines such as Port, Muscatel and Tokay, give extra goodness to desserts and fruits. Versatility You can substitute on wine for another in a recipe so long as you use the same type of wine. A recipe calling for Sauterne will to Chablis or any other white table wine. The same thing applies to red wines:Smfandel or any Claret-type wine may be substituted for Burgundy. Pear-Grape Show-Offs Bartlett pears and Thompson seedless grades have long been show-offs when fixed like this aS'Salad or dessert course. Wash and halve four Bartlett pears. Remove cores and brush with lemon juice. Dip small clusters of seedless grapes (using scis sors for cutting) in egg white or lemon juice, then roll in tint ed sugar. Tint sugar by adding drop of food coloring to sugar and mixing well. Arrange pears and grapes on grape or other leaves. Fish Fillets We might as well be extrava gant in our description. These fabulous fish fillets are really good. Easy to fix, easy to eat. Use white wine in making, rapes in decoration. 6 fish fillets 2 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons chopped onion Salt and pepper Vi cup white wine 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon flour Vi cup milk 1 cup seedless white grapes Cut circle of white paper the size of frying pan or skillet and cut tiny hole in center. Butter one side of paper. (Chef's trick. this). Set aside. Roll up each fish fillet, using any white fish; secure with toothpick. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet and add onion. Sprinkle fish fillets with salt and pepper and place in pan with butter and onion. Add the wine. Place circle of paper, butter side down on top of fish (to keep surface of fish moist.) Cover pan and let simmer 10 minutes. Discard paper circle. Carefully remove fish to heatproof serv ing platter. Cook liquid left in pan until reduced about one- third. Cream together butter and flour; add with milk to liquid in pan. Let simmer, stirring oc casionally until thickened. Place i 4i &'J& 7 A v n S4 zf r- - Nix w-'J - ' . .
