Armenian Way With
Chicken Pilaff
Plentiful trying size chickens,
abundant rice and the distinctive
flavor of sour cream combine
to make this delectable dish, a
favorite of our Armenian
friends. Six servings.
2 fryers, cut-up
4 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
1 cup rice, uncooked
1 cup minced celery
4 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped green
pepper (optional)
2 cups chicken broth
l-2 cups commercial sour
cream
Brush chicken pieces lightly
with butter; sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Broil on both sides
until lightly browned. Fry un
cooked rice until golden brown
in butter remaining in the pan
after chicken is removed. Put
rice in casserole, add celery,
onion, green pepper another
dash of salt and pepper. Pour
chicken broth over rice and ar
range chicken pieces on top.
Cover and bake in moderate
oven, 325 degrees, for one hour.
Remove from oven and pour
sour cream over chicken and
rice. Cover and return to oven
for another 15 minutes. Sprin
kle with paprika just before
serving.
Applo Fritters
Apple fritters are very versa
tile. You caTi fix them like this
or you can dip appie rings into
this batter and fry them to re
semble doughnuts. They're very
good with pork or poultry. Or
. . . for Sunday breakfast with
maple syrup and tiny sausages.
Sift two cups sifted flour, one
teaspoon baking powder, six
tablespoons sugar and one-half
teaspoon salt together. Mix two
thirds cup milk and two well
beaten eggs together and stir
into dry ingredients slowly.
Add three cups diced apples.
Heat fat for deep frying to 375
degrees or until a bread cube
will brown in one minute. Drop
fritters from a tablespoon tip
into hot fat and fry three to
five minutes or until fritters are
golden brown.
Dreis-Up Pork and Beans.
Nowadays one reaches for a
good size can of pork and 'beans
and proceeds to give them a dis
tinctive touch in many days . . .
for Instance:
Sprinkle brown sugar on apple
slices on beans; top with par
tially cooked bacon slices. Bake.
Bake eggs on top of bean cas
serole. Make spoon wells in the
beans and slip eggs into them.
Bake at 375 degrees until whites
of eggs are firm.
Serve hot pork and beans over
grilled pineapple slices.
Almond Marmalade Bars
Ideal Lunch Companion
This almond - flavored cookie
foundation goes well with its
citrus marmalade filling. These
bars are invitingly chewy, yet
firm enough to go as travel
companions with tasty sand
wiches, fruits and other morsels
into lunch boxes.
l'i cups sifted enriched flour
i cup sugar
'i teaspoon baking powder
yi teaspoon salt
teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
'i cup shortening

evenly with marmalade. Spread
with remaining mixture. Bake
in moderately hot oven (400 de
grees) 2o to 30 minutes.- When
cool, cut into bars. Makes about
28 bars, lx2'2 inches.
Pre-packaged Meats
Storage of pre-packaged self
service meats is important. Pro
tect your investment by proper
care. All meats should be stored
in coldest part of refrigerator
as soon as you get them home.
Pre-packaged smoked or cured
meats and packaged sausage may
be stored in the original wrap
per. However pre-packaged
fresh meats should have the
wrapper loosened at both ends
before refrigeration.
If small cuts of fresh meats
are not to be used within a few
days, they may be frozen. Re
move the self-service wrapper
and rewrap in special freezer
paper. Zero storage is preferable
but fresh meats may be frozen
in the freezing section of re
frigerator if they are to be used
within tbet week.
Western Cheese Chips. Sprin
kle grated mild cheese over po
tato or corn chips. Set in shal
low baking pan side by side and
broil briefly until cheese
melted.
October's Best Buys Listed
There are so many good things
in abundant supply at reason
able prices that we couldn't put
them ail in the headline. Make
meal planning easy and also
make the most of the family
food money by carefully scan
ning this list. Look over this
newspaper's food advertisements
and watch for store specials and
displays. Early in the day shop
ping gets you through the store
and through the checking count
er much Tnore quickly.
Meat Buys. Beef production
continues at a high level with
good values in all grades but
exceptional values in the grades
and cuts that require longer,
slower cooking. Pork is back on
many weekly menus as it be
comes more abundant in both
fresh and cured supplies. Treat
the family to a pork roast along
with plenty of canned apple
sauce which is surprisingly low
in cost. For economical chops
ask your butcher to cut a shoul
der or loin roast into chys..
Lamb continues seasonally rea
sonable; here again the bargains
are in the less fancy cuts for
stewing and braising.
Plenty of Poultry. Near rec
ord supplies of broilers and of
turkeys are coming to market.
There are good buys in stewing
hens for serving with dumplings
and egg noodles or for fricas
seeing. For color, flavor and in
terest, add green pepper and
red pimiento to gravies. Tur
keys are certain to remain plen
tiful throughout the holiday sea
son; are a good buy any time
good for several fine meals from
one turkey.
Around Hollywood
Sy ALINE MOSBY
United Press Correspondent
mi
Hollywood (U.R The life of
a mind-reader is just one trial
after another, the "Great" Dun-
P5&w'.;1 ninger sighed
"When I go
into hotels
I'm supposed
to know what
room is re
served for me,
and waiters in
r e s t a u rants
Aline Mosbr need a menu,"
the mentalist said morosely.
We were sitting in the Brown
Derby restaurant across the
street from the Huntington
Hartford Theater where Dun
ninge: , on leave from his ABC
TV program in New York, was
on tour.
For his stage show he per
forms such feats as telling what
is in a locked safe furnished by
the Hollywood Chamber of
Commerce. On TV he "reads the
minds" of members of his studio
audience and of his guest celeb
rities. But behind scenes Dunniger
is dogged by his strange occupa
tion. Dogged by Occupation
"One woman told me she cer
tainly would not like to be my
wife," he said. "People beg me
to forecast the stock market.
I am not a fortune teller! I can
not tell what will happen to
morrow,' nobody can."
Dunninger shook his head
sadly and continued, "At Las
Vegas I was reading ihe mind
of a blackjack dealer so they
asked me to move on. And in
one city a reporter asked to in
terview me by thinking the
questions in silence instead of
speaking them! Of course, I re
fused!" Dunninger, a balding man
with piercing brown eyes, a re
sounding voice and the air of a
master showman, paused to
autograph a menu for a female
fan. He always uses a heavy
brown pencil "So my signature
will show up the others , and
I noticed he scribbled grandly
across her hard-earned auto
graph of Chill Wills.
Success Not Easy
"Some people have to fight
their way up and I am among
them, he continued. I am con
stantly fighting everyone. They
accuse me of magic, collusion.
How could I have stooges with
my stage show? I'd have to
carry 300 of them with me from
city to ciy. I offer $10,000 tp
anybody who can prove I have
an accomplice."
Dunninger fixed a brown eye
on me and announced he usually
doesn't read reporters' minds
but he'd try mine. He told me to
think of four number digits.
After waiting testily for the
people in the next booth to
quiet down, he scribbled on a
piece of paffer.
It was the right digits 3434.

Antigravity Hormone
Confusing To Plants
East Lansing, Mich. (U.R)
Plants don't know "which way

anti-gravity hormone discovered
by a Michigan State University.;
research team. ;
The MSU researchers say peo
pie think a plant grows upward;
seeking the sun, but the scien
tists say it is more complicated.,
than that.
The anti-gravity hormone,"
seems to control the plants' re
sponses to gravity. t
By careful observation of roof
and shoot growths of young.
seedlings, the MSU scientists
hope to determine what sensory:

Utile more than a plow?" he
aslfed.
'.Well, today, we have automo
bifes with the rating of 300 or
mrjre horepower. And we have,
alio, the problem of 'teen-aged
drivers.
Our Beverly is one of them.
Mrs. N. taught her, on account
cfi'Mrs. Nichols is a much better
d'-iver than I am.
jBev realizes that she has a
grfeat responsibility every time
she puts loafers to foot pedal.
Slie has been reading up on it.
She has her grown-up license at
age of 17. She realizes that she
has to be a good sport on the
highway. Give the other guy a
bAak.
As a matter of fact, she has
been supplementing the learn
ing she got from an' "old pro"
with a little book-learning.
No Knitting
One of the chapters which
fascinated our young, lady was
titled Sportsmanlike Driving,
it had to do with things like
paying attentidn to driving in
stead of knitting.
"Daddy," she told me the
other evening,, "it says here a
person who cannot control his
own attention jshouldn't .be be-1
hind a wheel.";
There are a lot of 'distractions
on the road. A radio program,
for example, might turn the
head of a young or. old driver
from the business at hand. There
may be a bee or'a asp biting
at the leg of a lady driwr A
hat can blow off. A dog can bark
in the back seat, j
The driver with ihis car or
her mind on the work at hand
is supposed to ignore all of
these minor things ijn life and
grip the wheel and steer a
straight course.
A friend of mine, a sports
writer, once was on a trip and
flipped his car radio to a prize
fight.
Lost a Round
It was exciting and he was
driving along and all of a sud
den the M. C. announced the
decision. A close one. My friend
lost himself in the excitment,
took his lunch hooks off the
wheel and applauded some
thing no right-thinking sports
writer ever would at the press
table.
The poor clown wound up
wrapped around a fence post
with a mess of broken ribs, a
caved-in skull, and other minor
injuries. He hasn't been the
same, since.
,A great many high schools,
vith the help of local car deal
ers, have gone in for driver
training.

The presidents of the United
States and Mexico will be in

was reported today.
But Beverly doesn't have that
advantage. Her schools has no
driving classes. Maybe some
day it will have. Bev is strictly
mother taught.
We trust her. Someiimes we
pray a little when she is whip

through training and reading

'Last Chance Guch'
Comes to Quiet End
Helena, Mont. (U.R) Hel
ena's main street, called "Last
Chance Gulch" in the lusty, bois
terous days of old, has come to
a rather quiet end.
It is still the bustling main
stem of Montana's capital, but
police have placed a strict ban
on car processions and horn
tooting. .
The ban was ordered and a
severe crackdown threatened for
those disturbing the peace after
seven wedding processiens in
one day "galloped the gulch,"
creating a bedlam of screeching
horns, brakes and clanking of
oddments tied to rear bumpers
of bridal party vehicles.
