' Custard Success Assured
With Long-Slow Cooking
Treat a good egg right which
means low, slow cooking and
your custards will receive raves
from all fortunate' enough to
partake of same. Like all pro
tein foods, eggs cooked at too
high a heat get tough and leath
ery. To prevent curdling when
making custards or other dishes
that call for hot milk to be added
3 to the egg. mix sugar with the
eg and not with the milk. Add
hot liquids or mixtures to the
beaten eg a little at a time.

vanilla and pour into custard
cups or casserole. Sprinkle light
ly with nutmeg. Place custard
cups in pan of hot water and
bake in moderate, 350 degree,
over for 25 to 35 minutes or until
custard sets. This can easily be
determined by insterting the tip
of a silver knife. When the knife
comes out clean. . .the custard is
done.

"C" That Your Family
Gets Enough Citrus
"C" stands for the common
cold these days, but it also stands
for citrus and vitamin C which
helps build resistance to such in
fections, and Which must be re
placed each day because it can
not be stored in our bodies
C i tr u s Concentrates. There's
no excuse for not, getting your
glassful of citrus juice every
morning. . .they've even taken
the "squeeze" out so that this
one-time daily chore has literal
ly become child's play.
Housewives have long been
acquainted with the goodness
and convenience of frozen
orange juice and lemonade juice
concentrates and now they are
making friends with a sister pro
duct, frozen grapefruit juice con
centrate. To these products you
simply add watter and mix well.
Nothing could be easier for
health and enjoyment. Best of
all is the assurance of the high
vitamin content of the concentr
ate. With modern processing
methods, practically all of the
precious vitamin C is retained.
All year round, regardless of
season or geography, frozen con
centrated citrus products are at
your fingertips.

World Sugar Prices Of Minor Importance
Chicago (U.R) Assurance of
adequate sugar supplies in the
domestic market makes the rel
ative level of world sugar prices
of minor importance to U. S. con
sumers, a sugar dealer and econ
omist said.
In recent years, U. S. sugar
prices have averaged about $1.85
per 100 pounds above the world
price according to a study by B.
W. Byer & Co.
The Suez crisis in a year of
small sugar supplies caused in
creased demand for world sugar,
and while U. S. sugar prices rose
at the same time world prices
went up, they held stable to the
extent that for a time the world
price rose at a fast enough pace
to overhaul the U. S. price and
pass it.
Byer & Co. said the stabilizing
factor is the Department of Ag
riculture, which raised the 1957
U. S. sugar quota by 200.000
tons and increased domestic beet
acreage allotments to provide ad
ditional supply to meet the great
er demand.
World sugar prices fluctuated
since then, but have again
climbed to the U. S. price level.
Byer & Co. said Cuba has given
assurances, however, that it will
fill its present U. S. quota and
hold 506,000 short tons in re
serve in order to meet all fore
seeable U. S. needs.
Manpower Shortage
Rising in Chicago
Chicago (U.R) The popula
tion of Chicago may continue to
increase, but the manpower
shortage is rising with it.
Approximately 51,000 work
ers will have to be "imported"
from other areas to work in
Chicago between now and 1960,
according to Thomas H. Coulter,
an officer of the city's Associa
tion of Commerce and Industry.
Coulter quoted facts and
figures that demonstrate the
ever-increasing number of jobs
to be had here. During the past
year unemployment rose to four
per cent throughout the nation
but only two per cent in Chic
ago. Because of the small number
of local youths who will enter
labor's ranks, an estimated 404,
000 of the needed workers will
have to be attracted from other
areas.
"All that you can see ahead
for the Chicago area is progress
and success," Coulter concluded.
Scientists Plan To
Probe Northern Lights
Seattle, Wash. (U.R) Scien
tists will probe deeper into the
mystery of the Northern Lights
this summer as part of the Inter
national Geophysical Year.
Dr. Kenneth C. Clark, Univer
sity of Washington physics pro
fessor, said the study would be
made from Fairbanks, Alaska.
He said this was an ideal latitude
to observe the auroral disturb
ances, which usually occur close
to the magnetic North Pole.
Dr. Clark said the Arctic au
roras provide the highest source
of information available on the
nature of the upper atmosphere.
The light sometimes comes from
as high as 1,000 miles.
"By analyzing the light of the
auroras, we hope to obtain fur
ther information on the temper
ature and composition of the up
per atmosphere and learn more
about how particles radiated
from the sun cause these lights
to be produced," the physicist explained.
