Feeding the Family
By ZOLA VINCENT
Food Editor
$r. L.QR. My wife should
encoiage her father to remarry.
Mr. L. H. He's going into
secorg) cFfjldhood.
Mr. L. H. My fatier-in-law
is a widower of 71. When his
wife died two years ago,, he
came to live with us.
At first he was quite de
pressed, but lately he has been
duct, it would appar he is in
stead trying to boost his morale
and obtain reassurance from his
daughter that she wants to keep
him with her.
He was probably testing his
daughter's reaction at first and
she made a mistake by laugh
ing at the idea of a second mar
riage and then not expressing
her real feeling that he need
never worry about being alone.
going to meetings and various ! Now he seems to be trying very
events with a croup of elderly
people. He met some women and
started going out with them. "He
told my wife he ,would like to'
get married again and she -just,
laughed at him and told him not
to make a foolof himself.
Now, my father-in-law is in
excellent health. He says-he does
not want to spend his remaining
years alone and I can't say I
blame him. 1 feel my wife is
very foolish. She ought to en
courage him.
Mrs. L. St. I didn't say any
thing, but my "father hurt me
very much by saying he didn t
want to spend his remaining
years afcne. He knows he'll al
ways have home with us.
1 wouldn't object to his marry
ing again he found a nice,
woman and said simply. '"I'm
gptting married.' Instead he
talks endlessly , about his
"dates" and his "girl" friends."
He spends hours primping for
one of TJiese dates and keeps
askinecme. the children and our
friends which "girl" we like
bcj-
I find the whole thing very
embarrassing and ridici'loas. I
1q'Ow my father is in good health
physically, cbut . mentally .he
seems to be going into second
cfnldhood, and I've told him so.
Tha council: It does, not sound
as though this elderly man is
seriously thinking "of marriage
at the Bioment.0From his con-

hard to call everyone's attention
to the fact that he is perfectly
capable of taking what probably
seems to him a drastic, almost
shocking step.
Mrs. L. R. is aggravating the
situation with her talk about his
second childhood. This under
mines the morale he is trying so
hard to build up. She ought to
listen to him serously. without
mockery, when he discusses the
problem with her. It would prob
ably not be the best thing to en
courage him, as M. L. B. sug
gests, at this stage. It would be
better to state her axact feelings
tbat she would be glad if he
found a nice woman with whom
he could be happy, but until then
she would like to see him happy
in his present home.
This man'is just getting over
the shock of his wife's death. He
is trying hard to regain his bal
ance and can come out of his
"second childhood." if treated
tactfully. At that time he will
be more capable of deciding for
or against marriage.

To Russian Official
Rome W.P.i The Italian gov
ernment has denied Soviet First
Deputy Premier Mikhail Suslov
permission to enter Italy, offi
cial sources said today.
Suslov had planned to come
to Rome for the Italian Commu
nist party congress which opens
in Rome Saturday A Moscow
dispatch said he left Thursday
by train for Rome.
Authoritative sources said the
Suslov was banned from the
country in fear that public order
would be disturbed.
The sources said the govern
ment feared anti - Communist
riots since Suslov is reported to
have played a major role in the
repression of the Hungarian re
bellion. The Moscow dispatch said
Suslov was being accompanied
by Stalingrad party chief Ivan
Zhegalin and Ekaterina Furt
seva, the only woman member
of the party presidium.

some pears, red or yellow apples

ticularly perfect during the holi
days when many of us have a

West Coast Favorite
Stuffed Rock Cod
Red Rock cod or rock fish ir
caught from San Diego to Puget
Sound. It is a firm textured, i
lean, mild fish that is in season
throughout the year. It is often
split for broiling or frying and j
is highly thought of when stuf- j
fed and baked whole like this:
Wash fish being sure it is thor- ;
oughly clean, then grease well
with oil or melted butter. Sprin
kle with salt inside and out and
let stand for about an hour be
fore baking. Many think it su
perior when soaked in lemon
juice or rubbed with lemon. Fill
with any desired stuffing (going
a little heavy on the onions) and
sew up with string. An oiled
cheesecloth placed under the
fish makes it easier to remove
fish to platter. Brush fish with
oil and place in hot oven, 450
degrees, for first ten minutes,
then reduce heat to 350 degrees
for continued cooking allowing
ten minutes for each of the first
four pounds and five minutes for
each additional pound. Remove
to hot platter, draw out string
and serve at once garnished with
parsley and plenty of lemon
wedges.
Papaya Appetizer. Here is a
lip-smacking appetizer. Diced pa
paya quickly mixed with pine
apple juice which has been froz
en to mushy consistency. The
exotic tropical papaya is at it's
best now and is accented to
perfection with the partially
frozen pineapple juice. A sprig
of mint will add to its party look.
Orange Sugared Walnuts. Cook
together three-fourths cup sugar,
two tablespoons water and two
tablespoons orange juice until it
forms a soft ball in cold water;
takes about three minutes. Re
move from heat, add one-half
teaspoon grated orange rind and
one cup shelled walnut halves.
Stir until syrup begins to look
cloudy. Before it hardens, turn
out quickly onto waxed paper or
greased baking sheet. Separate
walnuts with two forks. These
may be made in quantity and put
in plastic bags for storage in the
freezer.
Tangy Spinach. Spinach and
grapefruit are a perfect duo.
Combine sauteed fresh grape
fruit sections with cooked sea-1
soned spinach. It's low in cal
ories and wonderfully, good.
Roasted almonds give exception
ally fine flavor and interesting
texture when added to either a
dry or moist stuffing for poul
try. Frozen Foods Make Meal
Planning Easy for Holiday
With the tempo of .the holi
day season increasing steadily
homemakers will be taking even
greater advantage of the vast
numbers of frozen foods now
available. Truly everything is
there to make meal planning
easy . . . from canapes ready to
be put in a hot oven and served
. . . to soup . . . right on through
the menu to desserts, baked or
ready to bake or just to be
thawed and eaten. The frozen
foods industry should be con'
gratulated for making such
things possible. Their standards
of quality have always been
high, and considering the low
spoilage, no waste, easy-to-store
features of these quickly pre
pared food products the prices
are remarkably low. Watch your
frozen foods department for best
buys, remembering to keep
enough on hand for those un
expected guests who are likely
to drop in during the holiday
season.
Meat Department. The ad-'

poultry. Fryer and broiler sup- :
plies will be some 15 per cent i
above a year ago. Large turkeys j
also continue as a best buy.
Hams, canned, smoked and fresh
come in for "special" notice as
do other pork products. Beef
stays about the same with
ground beef and long, slow cook
ing cuts at bargain prices. Spe

liver, brains, heart and sweet
breads should not be overlooked.
They are full of good nutrition
and flavor and are often excep
tienally good buys.
Grocery Department. Non-fat
dry milk is always an -economy
buy. It is low in calories, but
high in body-building proteins,
minerals, and vitamins needed
for good health. Dried beans,
peas, lentils, barley, rice and
macaroni products go a long way
in allowing that budget to
stretch. Other economical buys
are dried fruits, nuts, , honey,
cottage cheese, evaporated milk,
peanut butter, tuna, and canned
soups.
Best fruit buys include red
and golden Delicious apples, To
kay and Emperor grapes, cran
berries, oranges and fresh dates.
Eersimmons are in good supply.
Pears are'of excellent quality.
Grapefruit quality is impi'ovir.
Tangerines are becoming more
available. .
Best vegetable buys are root
. o
vegetables including sgeet pota
toes, yams, turnips and carrots.
Other good buys are onions,
winter squash, celery and while
potatoes. Tomatoes are in ample
supply, but this is tha "Swan
