Offer assortment, perhaps blueberries, raspberries, sliced peaches and fresh grapefruit sections with creamy lemon sauce made with lemon instant pudding. Another time, try the new banana cream instant pudding as topping. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Male Most of Fresh Fruits and Barries Almost every market report throughout the entire country to day starts with "principal pro ducing states are C a 1 ifornia, Washington and Oregon" with Idaho, Arizona and other west ern areas in the vanguard. Let's run down the list of plentifuls in peak production. Alphabet ically, seems a good way. Apricot Abundance The principal producing states are California, Washington and Utah with Oregon, Idaho and Colorado as secondary areas of production. Many more apri cots than last year with more than half the total crop coming to market this month. Very few in August, so make the most of them now. ' Apricot Ways. Fine for eating out-of-hand, in fresh fruit salads, fruit cocktails. Serve them with cream, with lemon or banana in stant pudding as a sauce. Put them in shortcakes, up-side-down cakes, pies, dumplings, souffle or whip. Make apricot butter, preserves, conserve, jams. Stew, spice or pickle them with or without pits. Puree apricots for a beverage or a sauce for ice cream. Apricot Fritters. For an un usual dessert, served with sauce or tart jelly, use fresh apricot halves. Beat two eggs until very light. Add one cup sifted flour, one-eighth teaspoon salt, one tablespoon salad oil. Beat in two teaspoons lemon juice and enough cold water to make a batter like heavy cream. Dust apricot halves with flour and dip in batter. Fry in deep fat, drain and dust with powdered sugar. Do a few at a time in order to keep fat at an even temperature. Very good as meat accompaniment, too. Blackberries-Dewberries To the blackberry and dew berry families belong the west's famed Loganberry, the Young berry and the Boysenberry. These do not stand long ship ment; are used mostly for can ning and freezing and enjoyment in local areas where grown. Lucky us! About a third of the annual total is marketed in July, but qua ntity is never large. ' U n s u r p assed when served whole with cream. Crush them and add sugar. Use them in pies, cakes, tarts, muffins and pudd ings. Good with other fruits raw or cooked; also in ice creams and-sherbets. Many like them for wines and cordials. Blueberry Bounty At peak in July when around half of annual total comes to market. The cultivated member of the huckelberry family, blue berry acreage is increasing right along as bigger and better ber ries are developed. In case you're interested, our Department ' of Agriculture refers to huckleber ries as "wild" and blueberries as "tame." Blueberry Ways. Wild or tame, huckleberries or blueber ries, they're a treat in many ways. Serve them raw with sugar and cream. Put them in jam Stew them or make a pie, pud ding, shortcake, tarts or add them to breakfast rolls. They're fine combined with other fruits in a fruit cup; are superb in ice cream or when used as a sundae sauce. As pictured, they're very good with lemon or banana cream instant pudding made ac cording to package directions. Sweet Cherries The easterners grow the sour cherries. We grow the sweet cherries in California, Washing ton, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Colo rado and Montana. On the mar ket May through August, more than a third of the crop comes to market in July. Enjoy them now. Cherry Ways. Enjoy them out-of-hand, in salads, cooked in pies, tarts, cakes. Put up jellies, jams, preserves, sauces, pickles. Use them in ice cream, puddings and other desserts as well as in fruit cups. Most popular sweet varieties are B i n g, Tartarian, Lambert, Republican and Chap man. Royal Annes are mainly a canning and processing variety; most of them wind up as ''maras chinos." Nectarines Smooth The nectarine is a smooth skinned peach; one of the most interesting phenomena in horti culture. The nectarine is small er than the peach, has firmer flesh, greater aroma and a dis tinct and richer flavor. Like peaches they are clingstone or freestone and the flesh may be red, yellow or white. They peak in July and August and are more plentiful than last year. Nectarine Ways. N e c tarines are used in all the ways peaches are; fresh as a table fruit, stew ed, baked in pies and other baked dishes, made into pre serves, jams and ice cream. They are canned and also dried. Peaches Plentiful Biggest crop of peaches in 10 years; 11 per cent above aver age. About half of all commer cial peaches are marketed fresh with majority of balance going into cans for year-round enjoy ment. Peak in July and August. Confer with fruit man on sup plies for canning and freezing and he will be happy to " special order'' them for day wanted. Elberta is the oustanding vari ety of freestone with J. H. Hales second in importance. Most of the clingstones go into cans. Peach Ways. Most of the peaches are eaten fresh out-of hand, in salads and as peaches and cream. They're also good in pies, cakes, shortcakes and tarts; are widely used for jellies, preserves, nectar and as pickled peaches. Peacherino. The easiest up side down cake we ever heard of. Butter 8x8x2 inch baking pan. Cover" bottom with sliced fresh peaches, slightly sweeten ed. Over peaches, plaee canned oven-ready, cinnamon or pecan rolls. Bake in hot oven, 425 de grees, 12 to 15 minutes or until rolls are done. Turn upside down on serving plate. Serve with honey sweetened whipped cream. Pears Appear No question about it, lots of good things come in pears. Calif ornia Bartletts are the first to appear and the crop is 'way above average; then come pear from Oregon and Washington: the three states producting ap proximately 90 per cent of all pears sold commercially. Bart- lett is the principal canning pear and the major fresh pear for many months to come. Pear Pleasures. Eat them out- of-hand, stew, bake, fry, pickle or glaze them. Use them in jel lies, jams, marmalades, in fresh fruit salads with peaches, prunes, melons, grapes or berries in sea son. Core them and top with mint sherbet. Top them with ice cream to make sundaes. Many think fresh pears with these slices on the side a superb des sert. Add a bit of candied ginger to cottage cheese and with pear halves. Brush Bartlett halves with butter, sprinkle with brown sugar and broil until glazed for serving with meat. Plum Wonderful Perhaps we should spell that "plumb" w o n d e rful because that's what plums are. Almost all of the fresh plums grown commercially in the U.S. are from California with the Pacific northwest distinguished for its prune varieties. Practically all plums are marketed fresh with supplies increasing right along. Of all the stone fruits, plums have the greatest number and greatest diversity of kinds and species. Plum Ways. Plums and fresh prunes are excellent eaten out- ol-hand.. ihey have a relresnwg tart sweetness that makes them good in pies, stewed fruit, pre serves, jellies and jams. They're tasty in ice cream, in puddings and Bavarian creams, in cakes, tarts and pastries. They are can ned and frozen and made into juice. They also give a delight ful color note when cut in sec tions and used in fresh fruit "sal ads. Rah for Raspberries About three-fifths of the an nual total of r a s p b erries is The Family Council Editor's note: The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women' editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not live advice; It merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors.

Jane should go back and settle things. Jane G. I can't throw myself at a man. Mrs. K. G. My 26-year-old daughter is very unhappy be cause of a summer romance that never got off the ground. 'Jane met Stan while on vaca tion in another state, quite far from us. She was staying with friends and ran into Stan during the last few days of her visit, so they could not get to know one another too well. They hit it off wonderfully, however, and even talked of love and marriage and said they would see one another again very soon. They have been correspond ing all winter and Jane con tinually moons over Stan and says she can't find anyone else she really enjoys being with. She has had quite a lonely, year. I told her to invite, him to our home for the holidays, but he v asn't able to come. 1 say she should go back this year and settle things, but these friends have not invited her. I see nonobjection to her going and stopping at a hotel, but she says it wouldn't look right. Jane G. My mother doesn't seem to see anything wrong with throwing yourself at a 'man, but I just can't be that way.

He was first appointed to the post May 22, 1917. It takes approximately seven years for cultured pearls to de velop. They are made by in troducing an irritant inside the friends had Invited me, it would be different, but this .way it's obvious that I've come back just for Stan. What will he. think of me? And then suppose nothing happens. I will have to come home, like something thrown out in the ash can. After all, I have feelings. - Stan keeps talking about how wonderful it was to be with me and how much he wants to see me again, but it just doesn't seem that we can get togther. I think my mother's invitation to our home for the holidays may have scared him off. My mother is much too bold. Stan isn't the type to be hus tled into anything. Yet I know he must care for me because when I don't write for a few weeks, he always writes to me asking what's wrong. He's very affectionate in his letters. The Council: Stan and Jane sound like perfect pen pals and are likely to remain that way for the rest of their lives unless one of them makes some decisive move. It is doubtful whether these two young people really want this romance to "get off the ground." Through their corres pondence they have, gotten the illusion of a courtship and po tential marriage without any of the threatening entanglements. Distance is ther chief attraction for one another. There is no point in Mrs. K. G.'s pushing the matter any further than her daughter wish es to go, but she should.' give Jane no sympathy or encourage-, ment in her "mooning." It is obvious that Jane can bring, the matter to some sort of conclu sion if she really wants to. If she doesn't, she should be encouraged to find eligible young men nearer home. She and Stan could not possibly have gotten to know one another well enough to form a real friendship in the short period they were together. Jane should be a little more honest with herself. If she truly cared for Stan, she would be less concerned about her feelings in the face of a possible rejec tion. It is not "throwing your self at a man" to show that you like him and would like to get to know him better. If that "scares him off," he's better left to his bachelor state. COPYRIGHT 1957.
