o aS-flnPORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. April 18, 19S7 ceding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Ham-Cabbage Scallop Ever-popular and right now Inexpensive ham has a way of reaching the leftover stage. You'll like it's comeback when served like this. Makes six serv ings. . 1 pound cooked ham V4 cup butter or margarine 'k cup flour 2 cups miik shredded ($abbaee 3i cup grated American cheese Vi cup chopped green pepper 1 tablespoon butter or mar garine i cup dry bread crumbs Dice ham. Melt the one-fourth cup butter in saucepan, add flour and stir until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Cook until thick then add cheese, green pepper and diced ham. In the meantime, steam or cook cabbage in small amount of boiling water for five minutes. Place a layer of drain ed partially cooked cabbage in greased baking dish, now a layer of ham-cheese sauce. Repeat. Melt the tablespoon butter and mix with crumbs. Sprinkle over ham and cabbage mixture. Bake in moderate oven, 350 degrees, for 30 minutes. Enjoy Artichokes Now Fewer and fewer of these wonderful thistles are being grown. So we suggest you try them while they are still around. How to cook. Allow one art ichoke per serving. With sharp knife, cut off one inch of top and cut the stem leaving about one inch. Pull off any loose leaves. With scissors clip off thorny ends or tips of leaves. Rinse thoroughly then drop into boiling salted water to cover. For extra seasoning you might like to add a few pickling , spices, or one tablespoon salad or olive oil, a small clove of garlic and a thick slice of lemon for each artichoke. Cover and cook until stem can be pierced easily with a fork, 20 to 45 min utes. Remove from water; drain; cut off remaining stem. Serve hot or cold, either whole or cut in half. If you cut in half re move the tiny thorns by cutting a shallow half moon into the heart. How xo eat. These instructions are for the novice and surpris ingly enough there are many. This is one time when fingers are the rule. Tear off the leaves and dip in melted butter, lemon butter or mayonnaise. Eat as far up the leaves as you can. When the leaves are gone you have reached the heart, and we're among those who think this is the tenderest, best eating of all. However, it is time to reach for your fork. Bean and Beef Casserole For Famished Families Pork and beans are standard equipment in almost all kitch ens; are heartily enjoyed by all Just as they come from the can. But we think you'll approve of them even more heartily when served like this: Plan one-fourth pound ham burger per person. We'll give you the proportions for eight servings. Season two pounds hamburger with salt and pepper to your liking; one teaspoon chili powder, one teaspoon crum bled oregano leaves and one tablespoon dry or chopped fresh parsley. Shape into patties and brown quickjy in ot skillet. When brown arrange in lightly greased baking dish. Open two large cans pork and beans and spread over patties. If beans seem quite moist drain off part of the liquid. Sprinkle top with IVi to two cups grated Cheddar cheese. Bake' in moderate oven, 350 degrees, 40 minutes. And now the secret. . . Serve with lots of chopped onion to be ad ministered by the individual. Suggestion: If you're in the mood to go a bit Mexican, line bottoms and up sides of baking dish with tortillas and proceed as above. Serve with bottled Taco sauce and onions, of course.

Poultry, Buys "Special" buys on ham in its various forms for Easter feast ing has become the expected thins, and this year will be no exception. Canned hams, so convenient to store and easy to prepare, come in sizes ranging from liix pounds for the very small family to 13 pounds for large gatherings. Smoked hams are ready-to-cook hams. Ready-to-eat hams need no cooking, but are usually glazed and heat ed through before serving. Smoked or ready-to eat hams may be purchased whole, cut in half, as a butt or shank end, or as a juicy center slice. Center slices are by far the most ex pensive cut. Just be sure you know which kind of ham you are buying and cook accordingly. Poultry will vie with ham for Easter honors. Fryers lead the parade as "wise values . . . both dollar-wise and nutrition-wise Turkeys are in excellent supply and are well priced. Best buys are in larger birds. Eggs.

CAB Unable To Place Blame for Grand Canyon Crash Washington (U.R) The Civil Aeronautics Board reported it has been unable to determine exactly whay two airliners col lided over the Grand Canyon last June 30, killing 128 persons. The board said "the probable cause" was that the pilots of the United and Trans World Air lines invovled "did not see each other in time to avoid collison." But it said "it is not possible to determine why ..." Half Dozen Factors Any one of a half dozen fac tors could have been the reason, the board said. It listed these factors as: Intervening clouds, cockpit visual limits, human visual lim its, preoccupation with normal cockpit duties, efforts to give passengers a good view of the canyon, or insufficient air traf fic advisory information. The collision of the two planes was the worst disaster in United States commerical aviation his tory. The board investigated itj for 9'2 months. I The board did not place re sponsibility for the crash on either plane. Because of insuf-1 ficient information, it said, it could not determine whether TWA's Constellation turned into the path of United's DC7 or the DC7 overtook the Constellation.

When last heard from, both planes were at 21,000 feet due to cross paths over the Painted Des ert at the same time. The TWA plane had been advised that the United plane was cleared for 21,000 feet. But the United plane was not advised of the TWA plane's reported 21,000-feet alti tude. Controller Aware The board said the Civil Aero nautics Administration air traf fic controller at Salt Lake City was aware that both planes were at the same altitude and on cov erning courses. He did not ad vise either flight "of this situa tion." , But the report said the planes were not flying on controlled airways and that the controller therefore was not "required" to advise them of the situation- Toppenish, Wash.
