Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Stor Lima Goodness Big ihin green Persian limes are in season now and will bs shipped from Florida through September. Here's a trick for making the most of their short season. Squeeze the big juicy seedless limes and freeze the Juice in ice cube trays. Once frozen, remove from trays and store in plastic bags in freezer or freezer compartment of re frigerator. You'll have Ice cubes with built-in flavor for iced tea, colas and other fruit juices and tall cool beverages. Extra flavor too when used to cool limeade made from frozen concentrated pro ducts. The distinctive lime flavor, fresh or ice cubed, enhances fruit cups and melon ball cock tails. Try melting a lime ice cube In a melon half or wedge. Strawberry Ice Cream How about that? Make some fresh strawberry ice cream while there still are fresh straw' berries around. You'll have re peat orders. Scald one cup milk in top of double boiler on low heat. Beat two egg yolks slightly with one' half cup sugar and one-quarter teaspoon salt. Stir into milk and cook until mixture coats the spoon or custard is slightly thickened. Remove from heat and chill in refrigerator. , Stir one-half, cup sugar and one tablespoon lemon juice into one cup crushed strawberries. When custard is cold, add straw berry mixture and pour into trays. Set in freezer until par tially frozen. Whip one cup whipping cream until stiff. Beat the partially frozen berry mix ture and fold in the cream. Re turn to freezing compartment and stir two or three times dur ing freezing to prevent crystal lzatlon. Orange Carrots We make carrots even more golden by adding orange juice Both are plentiful and very low In cost. For each four servings cut eight carrots into rings or strips. Blend one-quarter cup sugar, two tablespoons flour, one-half teaspoon salt, one half cup fresh orange juice and one tablespoon grated orange rind. Cook, stirring constantly for five minutes. Serve over cooked carrots. This is very good on beets, too. Dress-Up Leafy Greens Fresh tangy greens, piled high on produce counters, make a i pretty sight; make pretty good eating, too. Consider collards, beet tops, mustard, dandelion greens along wthi the popular spinach. Combine them for something new in the menu. Young tender greens should be cooked only in the water that clings to their leaves. They're delicious when sprinkled with fresh lemon juice, with melted butter or crumbled crisp bacon. The Chinese pan greens by cook ing briefly in heavy frying pan with small amount of boiling water and butter. . Southerners are likely to cook greens with ham, salt pork or bacon and then crumble corn bread into the resulting broth. Raw spinach, kale or mustard greens are very good in tossed salad combination; add texture and color as well as flavor in terest. A little vinegar and sugar heated together Is a popular dressing for greens as well as for lettuce, snap beans or cab bage. Cucumber Bowl A reminder to make up a bowl of cucumbers in sour cream. No one peels cucumbers any more. Just score the cucum bers lengthwise with fork tines to fancy them up before slicing them thinly. Pour over a dress ing made by blending one cup sou cream, one, teaspoon salt, Wt tablespoons vinegar and one small onion grated (or two green onions, tops and all cut very fine). Chill and serve with any meat or fish. Chuck Steak Bargain Beef bargains are to be found in chuck steaks which are be ing cut from high quality beef. They need only a meat tendar- :zer to guarantee fine flavor, fine texture and tenderness. A jar of meat tenderizer is standard cooking equipment nowadays. Figure on one to 1 Vi teaspoons moat tenderizer for each two to three pounds chuck steak cut 1U inches thick. Slash fat. edges, sprinkle steak evenly on both sides with tenderizer. Do not salt. Pierce all over with sharp fork to allow penetration. Let stand at room temperature one hour or cover loosely and refrigerate overnight. Broil as usual, taking care not to over work since tenderizing speeds up cooking time. Slice crossgrain when serving Don't Pinch Our Fruit It Hurts Their Peelings Our sympathies are entirely with fruit men who must re mind customers not to pinch the fruit. We like the Italian way of putting it, too; "If you must pincha da fruit, pincha da coco nut." Fresh fruits and veget ables, being perishable require constant attention, both on the produce stands and after you get them home in order to keep fresh appearance. The less hand ling all along the line, the long er their life, so treat them gent ly. When It comes to specials, have in mind the use to whic.i you plan to put them. Surplus crops or an exceptionally good purchase on a rising market en able retailers to feature specials that are genuine bargains. It is usually important that these products be used immediately since they're being harvested in quantity at peak of production. If it is "looks" you want, you'll usually pay higher prices. For ingredient and other cooking purposes, there are many good buys. Fruit Buys. Peaches remain the outstanding fruit value. Can, freeze, jam, pickle or otherwise preserve them in ways liked best by the family. Let the chil dren help. Apricots, plums and cherries are going fast so en joy them right now and put up a few jars or packages. Thoss Astrachan apples are good. There are Thompson seedless grapes, nectarines, berries of all kinds. Big demand on water melons keep their prices higher than usual at this time of year. Lots of Valencias for juicing. Figs. Bartlett pears and Graven- stein apples are putting in appearance. Vegetable Buys. There's prac tically anything you can think of but if you want menu-planning ideas, here they are: cab bage, cauliflower, celery, corn, cucumbers, lettuce, romaine, green beans, peas, potatoes, on ions, radishes, soft squash, bunched vegetables, pepers. Meat and Fish. Watch news paper ads and display signs for best buys. Chuck steaks and pot roasts are fine values in round bone, blade bone and T-bone cuts When tenderized these cuts may be broiled indoors or out doors very successfully. Breast cf lamb is big bargain for brais ing and barbecuing; so is stew meat. Plenty of poultry, both chickens and turkeys. Halibut is fish of the month and very good, too. If you've a home freezer, . store a few halibut meals besides enjoying this fine fish today or tomorrow. i ,i,jm."w " m m 1 rswri ' L V - -r WrtT- VST . i VF f . - K'.euw I t "i. xj xt-; mm L'NLIMBERING A MOVIE CAMERA, Valeria Fabrizzi (right).

(International) Lights on Mountain " Appalachian Mystery Jonas Ridge, N. C. A mystery of the Southern Ap palachians is the appearance of strange, softly glowing lights on top and across the face of Brown Mountain near Morganton. The flickering lights can be observed from afar and appear to hover over the mountain Residents of the area say the best views of the mysterious lights are obtained from spots along Jonas Ridge, and the floating lights are at their brightest, changing from orange to blue, immediately after a rain. What causes the Tights to ap pear is unexplained.
