Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT food Editor STEW USES LAMB The best perker-up for the budget and for the appetite after the holiday eating binge is a good old-fashioned lamb stew with fragant, flavorful green and yellow vegetables, followed by the family'i favorite baked ap ples. Lamb is a bargain beyond compare, especially the shoulder and breast of lamb cuts. We can hardly believe our eyes, so you'd best take a look too. If you've a freezer, put in a few extra meals. 2 pounds lamb shoulder or braait of lamb cut in 1-inch squares for stewing 2 tablespoons oil or shorten ing 2 teaspoons salt Pepper 4 tablespoons flour' 4 medium potatoes 8 small onions 4-8 carrots 1 cup celery 1 cup green beans Garlic, if desired Chopped parsley Heat oil or shortening add Iamb and carefully brown on all sides using moderate heat. Don't crowd. Sprinkle with salt, pep per and flour, coating lamb well. Brown for a few minutes longer, then add boiling water to not quite cover meat. Cover tightly. Simmer gently for 45 minutes. Add the potatoes, pared and cubed, whole small onions, car rots, scraped and sliced thick, celery cut in Vi inch lengths. Add a generous dash of salt and handful of chopped or dried parsley. Cover and simmer 40 minutes longer, adding green Leans during last 10 minutes. Eight servings. Many like to top this with dumplings toward cooking end Our family likes to add a bay leaf, a clove of garlic finely chopped, a dash of thyme or oregano and a teaspoon of car away seed early in the making. ' Quick Chocolate Sponge Children like this. To 1 pack age chocolate pudding add 2 cups milk. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until it thickens and boils up once. Re move from heat, cool to luke- warm. Add teaspoon vanilla extract and 6 cut-up marshmal lows stirring only to mix in but not melt them. Pour into mold and chill until firm. Six servings. Pork Chops with Jelly Claxe Plenty of pork puts this American favorite on the tables often for January enjoyment. Pork chops or pork steaks should not be broiled or fried as this tends to dry out the meat, spoils the fine flavor. Thing to do is to braise them. Braising consists of browning the floured or un-floured pork chops in a little hot fat, then adding a small amount of liquid, turning heat down low and cook ing until chops or steaks are tender: about an hour. We fix 'them like this: Brown pork chops or steaks, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper: add V cup water, 1.7 cup currant, apple or grape ielly and just enough allspice to season slightly. Arrange chops on shallow baking pan. spread jelly over and slip under a pre heated broiler just long enougn to melt jelly and glaze chops. Make gravy from drippings in skillet and serve with noodles. rice, white or sweet potatoes. HOT TURKEY If you've holiday poultry left overs either in refrigerator or freezer, here's a fine idea for week-end lunch or supper menu. Six servings. .. . Combine 2 cups cooked turkey or chicken cut into cubes, 2 cups thinly sliced celery and V4 cup chopped walnuts with 1 cup mayonnaise Season with salt, freshly ground pepper. 2 tea spoons grated onion and 2 table spoons fresh lemon juice. Heat thoroughly. Pile lightly into 6 individual casseroles or one big one. for that matter. Sprinkle with grated American or Par mesan cheese and finely crushed potato or corn chips. Bake in hot oven, 450 degrees, about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Baked Bananas This very good "buy" is excel lent served hot as a vegetable or as a dessert with cream, syrup or a hot fruit sauce. For each four servings, peel 4 firm ba nanas: lace in well-greased baking dish. Brush well with butter or margarine and sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake in 375 degree oven 15 to 18 minutes or until bananas are tender. Vintage Pie There are few food combina tions under the sun and here Is one that is especially news worthy. Vintage pie combines rich purple grape juice with seeded raisins to make not only a most attractive looking des sert but one that will get recalls. 2',i cups seeded raisins 1 cup purpls grape juice 15 cups water cup sugar teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca 2 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons cidar rinegar Pastry for double 10-ineh crust Rinse raisins to plump slightly. Combine all filling incredients in saucepan and cook 12 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour into pastry-lined deep pie pan, cover with top pastry crust and brush with milk. Bake in hot oven, 400 degrees, 10 min utes. Reduce heat to 350 de grees and continue baking 15 to 20 minutes longer. Eight serv ings. Zesty Tabasco No question about it, west coasters like food wfth a little more zest than those in other parts of the country. Talking with Tabasco folks recently, they deplored tendency of many to "use a dash of Tabasco"; ask ed why 'take chances on not enough or too mudh seasoning when it's so simple to be right? Here are some "righf'ideas from their culinary experts. Eggs take on new zest if "a few drops" of Tabasco are added to either boiled or poached eggs after they are cooked, to scramb led eggs and omelets after eggs have been beaten and before they are cooked. Good, too, ad ded to your favorite stuffing for deviled eggs. Gelatine salads take well to Tabasco's tang. Add V teaspoon with other seasonings to any basic recipe calling for one en velope of gelatine. Vary good in molded seafood salads. Give a little zing to gravies and white sauces wtth 4 teaspoon Tabasco to 2 cups of gravy or white sauce adding it along with other seasonings. Creamed eggs, chipped beef or chicken a la king will appreciate the extra piquancy of Tabasco. Soups and stflws take well to Tabasco. How about Tabasco flavored melted butter for vege tables? Important. in Diet A fine spread for bread is old fashioned unsulphured molasses which contributes iron so import ant to our diet. Iron as you prob ably know helps prevent fatigue due to anemia and helps put roses into children's cheeks. One slice of enriched bread spread with 1 tablespoon of molasses is enough to provide about '4 of a normal child s minimum daily iron needs. Many mothers, aware of the importance of iron in the chil dren's diet, give them a daily molasses milk shake made sim ply by stirring one tablespoon molasses into one cup of cold milk. Try one .part butter or marga rine to two parts molasses and simply heat in saucepan for pour ing hot over french toast, waffles or pancakes. A delicious sandwich blends molasses into softened processed cheese, into cream cheese or into peanut butter. Add chopped dates, nuts or raisins for a change Mayonnaise Variation Mayonnaise with its many var iations is ideal for stuffed to matoes, lettuce wedges or shred ded lettnee; perfect for cold sal mon or salmon salad. For extra zip, try adding 1 teaspoon dry mustard or a tablespoon of horse radish or mustard-horseradish to half a pint of mayonnaise. A completely different and deli cious salad dressing results. Leftover cauliflower, pureed, makes' a delicious cream soup. Add a little grated onion for zest and garnish with a few tiny whole flowerettes. Paprika for color and you've a new kind of soup for serving either hot or cold. When you're frying ham and it is almost done, scatter some drained pineapple chunks around it in the skillet and stir so they will brown quickly all over. Serve with scrambled eggs for a very good breakfast or brunch. Frozen or canned green lima beans get gourmet touch when cooked with a slice or two of onion and several canned pimien tos, chopped P- Add the pimien tos . about 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Friday, January 4, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUHS SrVTK Hilda T. I've learned my les son . . . but I can't live like this. Mrs. M. T She has proved she can't handle freedom. Hilda T. Three years ago, when I was 18. I had an affair with a married man and gave birth to an illegitimate child. My mother was very good to me at that time, and I went home with my baby. Since then my mother has been very mean and bossy. She treats me like a 12-year-old. She wants to pick my friends. She opens my mail. She threatens to send out a police alarm if I'm not home at a certain hour. I've learned my lesson and I won't get into trouble agin, but I can't live this way. I want to move away from home and put my baby in a day nursery. Mrs. M. T. This whole trag edy came about because I was too careless and gave Hilda too much reedom in the past. She has proved she can't handle free dom. Hilda admits I was good to her when this thing happened. I know she has suffered and I don't want to make it hard for her. Everything I do is for her Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Hollywood Actor Michael O'Shea pointing to his target, as evidence he did not intend bodily harm when he shot at a neigh bor's tractor: "I can shoot straight two shots, two tires."

I want her to marry, but the friends she has chosen will not help her. I won't let Hilda leave home with the baby. I'll see that she doesn't get custody of the child. If she leaves home, it will prove she is not a fit mother. The Council: This mother is overstepping her bounds in an attempt to make up for her past failure with Hilda. Hilda is now 21 and a mother. She has undoubtedly suffered much. She cannot be treated like a schoolgirl. Mrs. M. T. may be right that Hilda's friends are not the best ones for her. In that case, she can only discuss the question seriously with Hilda and point out what she finds objectionable in these friends. She cannot dic tate. She has no right to open Hilda's mail. Even if Hilda yielded to her mother's terms, the situation would not be a good one. Hilda is an adult who must manage her own life. If she simply ac cepted her mother's authority, she would never learn to do this. Mrs. M. T.'s threat to take away Hilda's child is cruel and has no sound basis unless she can positively prove Hilda is mentally or morally incompe tent. It would certainly be better for this girl to live at home, but Mrs. M. T. should realize that the home conditions must be reasonable, adapted to the needs of an adult. Hilda appears to be grateful for her mother's goodness in the past and would, therefore, be open to her mother's influence if Mrs. M. T. were tactful and made suggestions instead of lay ing down the law. If Mrs. M. T. has any reason to feel Hilda is again stepping into dangerous territory and she finds she cannot influence her daughter, she should call on the help of a clergyman or social worker attached to a reliable community agency. (Copyright 1956. General Features Corp.) Gas Tax Brings SI Million a Week Portland (U.R) When the slate of Oregon originated the gasoline tax back in 1919 it knew it had a good thing but it couldn't have known how good it would prove to be. That first tax was one-cent a gallon in 1918. And in the first three days of 1957, the gasoline tax produced as much revenue for Oregon as the one-cent tax produced in the entire year of 1919. The figures were disclosed to day by Don K. Bagley, Oregon Oil Information committee chair man. He said: "Gas tax revenues are now be ing collected from Oregon high way users at the rate of $1 mil lion every week. The present 6- cent state gasoline tax is ex pected to produce an. estimated $34 million this year, while the 3-cent federal, tax will bring total motor fuel tax collections in this state to. an estimated $52 million. "It is true, that there are now nine times as many - motor ve hicles in use in Oregon as there were in 1919, and that many of these vehicles are receiving greater use, but this only partial ly explains the fact that gas tax revenues are now running 118 times as high. The present com bined state and federal tax rate of 9 cents a gollon is equivalent to about a 39 per cent sales tax on gasoline." AF Investigates Helicopter Crash Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. (U.R) Air Force officials today investigated the crash of a heli capter in the desert near this test center, claiming the lives of three airmen.
