The ingeniously simple magnetometer was invented by Dr Russell a Varian of Palo Alto, Calif.

Serve on crisp salad greens Ir,t Creum Most ' Popuiar Dessert We're eating more ice cream all the time More people order ice ci cam in restaurants than all ether desserts combined. Last year we consumer 850 million gallons of commercially frozen desserts and that doesn't include un-gucssod tons of home made varieties. It is estimated that 25U of those million gallons went home in half gallon containers. Home freezers are of course the im portant factor responsible for this trend. No more "run down to the drug store for a quart of ice cream, and hurry home be fore it melts." Ice cream is essentially a dairy product. State laws control wcicht peT gallon and amount of butter fat which usually is well above the requirement as ice cream makers take pride in product quality. Imitation and dieters ice creams must be clear ly marked and are handled separately frcm ice cream stor age ai'c.is. Mtke Mine Vanilla Vanilia ice cream continues to lead the flavor parade doing 51 per cent of the business. Choc olate docs 12 per cent and straw berry under 9 per cent. Straw berr is being pushed hard by clierrr and is likely to be pas sed. Perhaps -00 other varieties and novelties account for the rest, with nw ones showing up . , K Family VINCENT Editor and fading out right along. We've observed such delights as bor scht, tomato, apple strudel and even sauerkraut ice cream. Sip and Spoon These For Summer sipping through a straw and subsequent spooning, scoop ice cream into tall glasses; pour over practically jny favored beverage that bubbles; ginger ale, any of the "sodas" or "colas," root beer, orange or other fruit juices with ginger ale added. Stir vigorously and alternately sip and spoon. Parmesan Veal Chops. Family and friends will rave about these. To serve four. . .Score fat on edges of four veal chops; sprink le with salt and pepper and dip into flour. Beat one egg lightly. Dip floured chops into beaten egg then into one-half cup Par mesan cheese. Brown slowly in about two tablespoons of butter. When brown add three-fourth cup California sauterne or other white table wine; cover and sim mer until meat is tender, and wine is almost evaporated. Summertime Vegetables, Fruits In Abundance Summertime vegetables and fruits are coming to market in ever increasing quantity. The flow of fresh produce during the summer months is a gradual changing in peak of production goodness from one favored veg etable or fruit to another. If you plan to can, freeze or other wise preserve some of this year's bounty, we suggest you check with your produce man right along for the very best time to do your "putting up." One thing sure, the prices on your home preserved foods won't go up in the fall or winter as they do on many commercial packs. Vegetable Department. Right now asparagus, green peas and new potatoes are disappearing. They are being replaced by an abundant supply of corn on the cob; tomatoes that are getting bigger and tastier; and a good supply of cucumbers, green beans, lima beans, summer squash and onions just , waiting to be consumed. Spinach and other greens are in good supply. Top quality lettuce is available. Long White potatoes are in ex cellent supply. This clean, smooth, thin skinned potato is easy to prepare for cooking and has an extremely small amount of waste. Cabbage, broccoli, car rots celery, green peppers and eggplant are well priced. Fruit Department. S t rawber ries continue abundant. How ever, if you plan on making jam or other strawberry goodies we suggest you be about it. Apri cots are reaching their peak. Theii season is extremely short and sweet so enjoy now. Good buys in grapefruit, watermelon, cantaloupe and rhubarb. Com ; mercially grown blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are I in light supply. Unseasonal rains I have cut down on this year's cherrv crop. Peaches, plums i s?edless grapes and Vale ncia oranges are moderately priced ! Protein Buys. Since, as you all ' know, June is Dairy Month, cheest comes up frequently for "special pricing. Watch this pa per's market ads for best buys New-crop turkeys and storage stocks continue heavy. Ample supplies of the popular 7 to 12 pounders. Plenty of broilers and : fryers to fill the bill. Eggs are 1 plentiful: prices very reasonable ! Beef offers some good buys in chucks, rounds. and always econ omical ground beef. Lamb prices ! continue steady with cuts for i stewing the best buy. Cod, halt ! but. sole, salmon, frozen fish 1 sticks and canned tuna are good i buys. Radiocasts for World Series games began in 1921. Is That So? Every pool of sea water, each heath at ebb tide, every pond, lake and stream contain mem bers of a huce family1 of animals, the mollusks which include snails, oyster, slugs, and scal lops. More than 70,000 kinds of mollusks have been described Some species are rare others like the oysters number in the un countable billions. Most mollusks have a shell, a il-i protective covering of calcare ous material made of lime, which was secreted by the mus cular body covering . commonly called the mantle of the living animal within the shell. Each species of shell-bearing mollusca creates its own partic ular shape and marking of shell and can be identified by its shell alone. A good conchologist, in fact, can tell by looking at a shell from which island it came from and more, from which side of the island and often at what altitude! Thornton Rules on Wasco Tax Case The Dalles OP Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton has issued an opinion on the North ern Wasco County Peoples Util ity District tax abatement case which leaves the thorny legal controversy in the hands of the courts. Thornton's opinion was the second issued in the case. The first said the Wasco county court did not have the authority to abate $11,457 worth of interest on taxes owed by the PUD. The abatement, however, was grant ed by the court before Thorn ton's statement reached The Dalles. Since the first opinion on May 15, the PUD's attorney, Raymond Kell. threatened legal action against the county court. The court, feeling the threat placed a new light on the case, asked for Thornton's second opinion, received Thursday. The PUD has fought payment of its countv tax. The State Su preme Court ruled this spring that the taxes were owed and the PUD paid S42.928 and the court abated interest on that sum. Thornton's opinion received by the court said he still believed the court had no authority to abate the interest but that the final judgment should be ren dered by the courts and not by the attorney. New Timepiece Good For Only Part of Day Boston HIV Talk about prog ress. In remodeling the old State House here, which dates back to 1713, workmen replaced a new fangled clock with an ancient wall sun dial. Because of shadows from the high surrounding buildings, Bos tonians will be able to tell time by the sun dial only during part of each morning. ANOTHER BRIDGE FOR BAY AREA An experienced American Bridge Division crew swings this huge 37-ton steel tower section into place to start construction of a new Carquinez Bridge alongside the old, famed curved bridge. This is the first piece of more than 15,000 tons which will he erected by U. S. Steel in building the span. The bridge spans the strait at the northern end of San Francisco Bay between Crockett and Vallejo. It will elim inate serious traffic problem on heavily traveled U. S. Route 40. By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist The largest of all mollusks is the giant squid which has the further distinction of being the largest animal without a back bone in the world. Its body may reach a length of 19 feet, its ten tacular arms another 35 feet, making a total length of almost 55 feet. Individual suckers on the tentacles are nearly l'i inches across. This giant squid has seldom been seen alive. It lives in the open sea. usually at great depths and is usually found cast up dead on a beach, those of Newfoundland being the most frequently favored. Great Delicacy Of snails which are consid ered a great delicacy in some countries the largest is the Achatina achatina which meas ures seven inches in length. The largest of all shells, and the biggest bivalve known, is the giant clam Tridacna gigas. One alone will provide a meal for a large gathering, providing from 20 to 30 pounds of meat. The shells are frequently more than three feet long and weigh more than 500 pounds. A speci men in the American Museum of Natural History in New York, measures 43 by 29 inches, and weighs 579 pounds well over a quarter ton! The margin of each shell is deeply waved and indented, each shell fitting close ly into the opposite shell. The shells are used for many pur poses such as baptismal fonts, holy-water receptacles, and ba bies' bathtubs in photographers' studios! In North America, the largest mollusk is the rosy-lipped Queen conch shell found along the At lantic coast. It may weigh as much as 5 pounds and its horny exterior measures over 11 inch es. The more slender Horse conch may measure up to 24 inches in length. On the Pacific coast, a platter-shaped mollusk may measure 12 inches overall. Its shell is coarse and thick, brick red on the outside and a beautiful shimmering green and pink inside. Pearl Most Famous The tiniest of all shells be longs to a marine gastropod, Homalogyra atomus. from the Atlantic which is only 130 of an inch in diameter. Perhaps the most famous prod uct of the mollusk family is the pearl a protective secretionary body formed around some irri tant. They are now cultivated artificially, mainly in Japan where the art was first prac ticed. The largest pearl in the world is the Hope pearl of 1.800 grains almost three ounces. It is a fraction over three inches in length and has a circumference at its globular end of 4V4 inches. The largest known pearl of reg ular shape is known as the La Pellegrina which weighs 111V4 grams.
