TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. April 26, 1957 Daylight Time Starting Sunday In More Areas Than Ever Before BY FRANK L. SPENCER United Press Correspondent . Daylight time returns Sunday and more persons will be in volved in the clock setting opera tion than ever before in peace time. And, a United Press survey showed today, you'll be more likely to get a straight answer to the question, "What time is it?" Fifteen states, including three new ones, will have daylight time t h r o u ghout. Twenty-five states will keep standard time. Eight will have a mixture. The District of Columbia will be on daylight time. Begins on Sunday The time change begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, local time and runs till the last Sunday of September or October, depending on the area. The three new daylight states are Indiana, Wisconsin and Min nesota. Wisconsin voters ap proved the time change in an April 2 referendum, ending a 401-year dispute. Cities fought for it to get and extra hour of evening sunshine "for better health, more recreation and bet ter family life." Farm groups opposed it on grounds it would disrupt the fanner's schedule. Fines and Jail Indiana has been plagued by a patchwork of confusing clock schedules with a zigzag line run ning roughly down the center of the state dividing time zones. A new daylight time law has teeth. Officials of governmental units ignoring it can be fined and jail ed. Minnesota's L e g i s lature ap proved daylight time 80-38 Tues day. But the Tennessee Legislature banned fast time. The law was aimed at Nashville, where many businesses went on "voluntary" daylight time last summer. Now some firms are thinking of open ing an hour earlier and quitting an hour earlier, and leaving the clocks alone. In neighboring Kentucky the Legislature made standard time official, but as in the past some town will go on fast time "volun tarily." Northeastern and parts of East ern Ohio will go on daylight time Sunday and Columbus votes May 7 on whether to go along with the other towns. If Colum bus approves fast time, other Ohio towns will follow. Penn sylvania is another mixed time state with smaller communities sticking to standard time while the bigger cities move the clocks ahead. Nevada Conforms But in Nevada the time change will put the whole state in con formity. The state wilth the ex ception of Lincoln county goes daylight. Lincoln county is in the Mountain time zone and will stay on standard, which is the same as Pacific daylight. Fast time is politically hot in many areas. California's Legis lature has a bill to repeal it and a measure to impose it was killed recently by the Colorado Legisla ture. Missouri's Legislature has before it a bill that would out law daylight times unless the entire state goes for it. A bill that would outlaw fast time in Nebraska has been op posed by lawmakers from the Mountain time areas and by a representative of an agricultural district who said, "Y o u can't teach daylight time to the cows and chickens." - But in Illinois, State Sen. C. E. Sprinkle said. "I'm a farmer and personally I like standard time, but I tire of all this confusion."

Variety Meats Are An Adventure in Good Eating Learning to serve variety meats in many forms can be an adventure in good eating. They are always top news in nutrition because of their high protein, vitamin and mineral content. Top news, too, in value, since they have relatively little waste. One pound can be count ed on for four servings. What are variety meats? They are the edible parts of beef, veal, pork and lamb which cannot be classed as regular cuts. In other words, liver, heart, kidney, ton gue, tripe, brains and sweet breads. Choose for freshness. Variety meats are slightly more perish able than other meats. This makes it doubly important that the ones you choose have a fresh; plump, even colored look. If edges look dried out, rough, or are different in color, you can be fairly certain they're not as fresh as they should be. Once bought,' refrigerate them care fully and use as soon as possible. Cooking Methods Liver: You'll find calf and beef liver in best supply in the market since pork and lamb liver are used to a large extent in the making of sausage items. Calf liver, tender and delicate in flavor requires only a short cooking period; may- be broiled. Beef liver, unless it is very young, is best suited to braising. Or simmer a couple of minutes until it firms up, then grind and use in loaves and patties. Tongue. Simmer in salted water to cover until tender; omit salt for smoked tongue. Remove skin and root ends before serv ing. Perfect when served with a tasty horseradish sauce. Kidneys. Wash and remove membrane; halve and ' remove fat and tubes. Braise beef and pork kidneys, or use in stews and meat pies. Broil or pan-fry veal and lamb kidneys being sure to keep the flame low and not to over-cook. Wonderful served with lemon wedges. Heart. Wash and trim top.1 Simmer in salted water until tender. Or stuff with a savory dressing and braise. Sweetbreads. Simmer gently for 30 minutes in two quarts water to which has been added two tablespoons vinegar and two teaspoons salt. Drain, chill in cold water and remove mem branes. Now they are ready to be cut , bite-size and creamed. Or cut in half and braise, fry or broil. Our favorite way is to dip halves in beaten egg then in seasoned bread crumbs and fry in butter until golden brown. Tartar sauce goes well with these. Tripe. Simmer about two hours until tender; then broil, fry, or heat in a sauce. Beef, Variety Meats, Turkey, Top Week End Protein Buys Homemakers may thriftily star pot roasts, Swiss steaks and other savory beef dishes in their menus. Cut of chuck, rump, round and short ribs suitable for braising are wearing low price tags. Secret of braising beef is to first brown meat in a small amount of fat, then cook in cov ered pan with or without added liquid. For best flavor, keep added liquid at a minimum, sea son as preferred, keep heat low either on top of range or in the oven. Variety meats, high in good nutrition and low in per serving cost are excellent buys. These include liver, tongue, kidneys, heart, sweetbreads, brains and tripe . . . Each with its own dis tinctive flavor and texture.
