Whether you pique the palate with a first course salad or toss in meat, cheese and vegetables to make it as satisfying as a pot roast, much depends upon the dressing. Salad success secrets are included in today's food columns. Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Way to Get Appetite Appeal From Those Colorful Salads Every year about this time "we talk about tossed salads. Even though our part of the country is famed for its salads and your family may be enjoy ing them several times a week, we think you'll find some new salad notions here. Heat resist ant salads are nutritionally val uable too because they're an easy way to load the family with important vitamins and minerals. Here . are points for checking to be sure you get maximum appetite appeal in your summer salads. Vary the greens. Try head of leaf lettuce, romaine, escarole, chicory, endive, water cress, tender spinach leaves, young cabbage and any combination of these. Always have salad greens, clean, chilled and crisp. Pat dry before using; no moisture cling ing to the leaves. Consider color, texture and flavor contrast in planning ingredients. Keep salads simple, never cluttered. Use a light hand in arranging; a salad should never look "set". Green salads should be tossed lightly, .never stirred or mixed with a heavy hand. Garnish salads for eye appeal. A single green peper ring, straw berry, radish rose or spring of parsley or- watercress, well placed, will give beauty accent. Salad Dressings Select the dressing best suited to . the salad ingredients. Tart dressing with bland makings; bland dressing with tart foods. Make dressings well in ad vance so that seasonings can blend well. This is true whether you mix your own seasonings or use one of the popular salad dressing mixes available in such accents as old fashion garlic, old fashion french, bleu cheese, California french or exotic herb mix. In general, the dressing should be the last rhjjtedient added to the salad. Exceptions are mac aroni, potato and cooked veget able salads. With these, the flavor improves with standing. Another thing; it is a good idea to provide additional dress ing for table service. Tossed Salad Ideas Galore Some of these you've been doing for years. Others may, be new and even exciting. To the greens variety add any one or two or more of the following: Julienne (which means thin strips) from yesterday's roast, from cold cuts or canned lunch eon meats. These often appear in combination with thin strips of American or Swiss cheese. Fish fanciers will enjoy bits of anchovy, small sardines, tiny or cut-up shrimp, crabmeat, lob ster meat.' fork-flaked salmon or tuna. Fish salads like extra lemon. Perhaps you've always thought of- grapefruit and avo cado salads as being arranged on a plate. Try cut up segments from fresh grapefruit and bite size avocado with greens. Sliced or chopped hard-cooked eggs go with simply every thing. Vegetable additions might in clude tomato wedges, thinly sliced cucumber or cucumber chunks for that matter, red andor green pepper rings or strips, diced pimiehto, raw caul iflowerettes or . radishes either whole or sliced. Other crisp touches include shredded carrots, sliced green onions,- red onion bits. Try strips of roast chicken or turkey with thoroughly drained pineapple chunks and sliced almonds (take it easy; this is still a tossed "green"' salad, you know). Give salads new flavor with herbs using either fresh or dried but be. light-handed in their use: chives, parsley, chervil, summer savory, basil, tarragon, marjoram or even thyme.

Jam- Session Suggestions Now is the time to put up or shut up about many fine things in the market for putting into jams, preserves, jellies. Our only mission today is to make suggestions as to what to "put up". When you use modern time- and-energy-saving powdered or liquid pectins, manufacturers enclose with every package or bottle complete instructions for perfect results so there's no pur pose served in our repeating the formulas here. One thing to re member, and that's for sure, is to follow the directions . and measurements explicitly as giv en. These proportions are all de signed for use of one package of powdered pectin. Apricots. Make it snappy. They're going fast. For nine medium glasses of jam, you'll need three pounds apricots, two lemons. Berries.

WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York (W Wall Street sleuths have- determined the real cause for the markets . 1 break Monday, Elmer Waizer sionals dumped and once the market activity picked up on the downside the buyers evaporated. No one seem ed to have a reason, although many were dreamed up. Now that it has found out the cause of the break the street is relieved. It feels that the market has performed fairly well in the face of that selling. Excess Wiped Out ' That drop,, it is noted, wiped out some of the excesses the market has accumulated recent ly in the so-called growth stocks. One of the market men calls them imagination stocks. Buying in these issues had got out of hand. Even the pro fessionals were involved and some of the conservative insti tutional men took a hand in the buying that sent stocks soaring.

The outstanding one is the profits pinch noted in many companies in the second quarter of the year. That , had been anticipated. Hence, there was only moderate selling of the issues showing declines. And, the street notes, there was no rush to buy the com panies which were able to show gains, many to record highes. The case of Chrysler is cited as an example of the market's neglect of big earners. Chrysler reported net profit of $10.28 a share for the first half, against a mere S2.15 last year. The experts said this high in come was never discounted.
