c 1 ) ft -) Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Hefrigerator-Huady Moals la a Minute Jieala in a minute? Actually it does take a little longer than a minute to produce a cool, satis fying meal even though it comes straight from the refrigerator. Cold cuts and chilled soups do make for easy living, however'. There's vast variety of flavor- ful, well-seasoned meats ready for attractive arranging on your prettiest platter; meats from elaborate delicatessen displays and from cans on the pantry shelf. Quick cold soups include jellied consomme and beef broth "on the rocks". Cold Meat Buying and Storage. Figure on a pound of assorted meats for five people. Delica tessen meats are perishable, re quire constant refrigeration. Se lect them only from refrigerated cases. For quality assurance look for Federal inspection stamp, the label and the brand name on which you can rely. Fresh sausage should be eaten within two or three days. Smoked and cooked sausage may be safely stored in refrigerator for a week; dry and semi-dry sausage longer. All properly and indivi dually wrapped to preserve dis tinctive flavors. Cold Meat Platters Variety is important here so buy three or more types. Con sider the textures. Have, for ex- ( ample, a solid meat like cold boiled ham, a coarsely chopped yariety like headcheese and a finely chopped meat like Thu ringer. Choose from soft meats such as minced Ijam or Braun schweiger and others of firm quality such as cervalet or tongue. Contrast flavors too and add different types of cheese. Ar range in attractive circles or rib bons. Garnish with colorful rad ish roses, olives, pickles and parsley. Plenty of assorted breads with rye predominating; butter, mayonnaise, mustard and relishes. Jellied Comommu Cool Eating Any Tim Cool, cool eating before din ner, as a luncheon opener or for any-hour refreshment. Canned e consomme will "jell" -in about four hours in the refrigerator. It will solidify faster in the freezer -but watch it! To serve, just open can as usual and fork or spoon the jellied contents into individ ual cups or bowls as suggested below. If the day is really hot, chill the bowls or surround them with cracked ice at serving time. One can make two serv ings. Serve jellied consomme in rice bowls, soup cups or coffee cups, sherbet, champagne or parfait lasses, melon halves, ' crystal punch cups or finger bowl or thin clear plastic bowl. Garnish with sour cream dash ed with chives or parsley; with lime or lemon wedges; with grat ed orange rind; with cottage cheese mixed with cucumber or chives; shredded carrot or CD ,1 Laboratory tested. Be safe. Be sure. Buy AID Tissue so soft, so pure. In u bite, green, pink or yellow. Reg. U S. Pat. Of. Smgl rolls or 4-roll "See-Tim" paciap sieved hard-cooked egg; chopped almonds or peanuts; pimiento strips, thinly sliced onion or cel ery; diced cucumber or tomato; chopped mint leaves, watercress, parsley or green pepper; sliced stuffed olives. For a cool jellied consomme salad, combine consomme, before chilling, with any of the follow ing items: julienne beets, carrots or pimiento; chopped parsley, onion,- celery or green pepper; shredded cabbage, carrot or cucumber;- caviar or chopped clams, crabmeat or lobster; sliv ered almonds. Chilled Beef Broth We're familiar with beef broth straight from the can "on the rocks." Further suggestions are to serve it over cubed or cracked ice in all glasses, plastic tumb lers, mugs or paper cups depend ent on convenience.- One can of beef broth makes two adequate servings. For flavor fillip add a dusting of cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg, a slice of lemon or twist of lemon peel; a sprinkling of minced parsley, dash of Worcestershire, Tabasco or Angostura. Popular Borscht Most famous of the chilled soups of course is Vichysoisse with Borscht preferred by many. Quick way for six - servings: Drain one can beets, reserVing liquid. Finley- chop beets! In saucepan, heat beets, beet liquid, one-third cup minced onion, one can condensed consomme, one half teaspoon salt and one cup water just to boiling. Chill. Serve with garnish of dabs of dairy sour cream. Chocolate Chip Cake Ideal for baking and taking in the pan is a recently arrived cake mix called chocolate chip; a rich cocoa brown cake with a generous quantity of dark brown chocolate chips which somehow stay suspended during the bak ing. Follow imple package- di rections. We suggest a brown sugar pecan topping like this: Cream one-half cup soft butter and 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar. Fold one-half cup chopped pecans or any other handy nutmeats for that matter. Spread this topping over hot cake in pan; place under- broiler until topping bubbles.. Lemon Flake Cake Another new cake mix has a fine texture acutally flaked with flavorful bits of lemon peel. Fol low package directions and top with this superlative coconut cream cheese frosting: Melt one tablespoon butter in saucepan. Add 1V4 cups tender-thin flaked coconut and saute until golden broifn, stirring censtantly. Re move from heat. Cream one- third cup butter, add two pack ages (three ounce size) cream cheese; blend. Add one pound pound (4 four cups) sifted con fectioners' sugar and about one tablespoon milk alternately in small amounts, beating after each addition. Add one half tea spoons vanilla and spread on cake. Decorate sides of cake with sauted coconut. Saute CucumMrt Nowadays when sone one says "go cook, a cucumber", it can be literally and is a very good idea because they make very good eating. Select firm, bright green cucumbers that are not too plump or seedy. Do not peel them. Score edges with fork tines if you like. 3 large cucumbers 3 tablespoons flour 1V4 teaspoon salt Pepper 3 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons horse-radish li cup melted butter Cut cucumbers in one-half inch slices and place them in ice water for 20 minutes. Drain, pat dry on paper towelling and roll in the flour, salt and pepper mix ed together. Saute slowly in but ter or margarine until golden brown. Drain. Af range on plat ter and serve with sauce made by combining the horse-radish and melted butter or margarine. Five servings. No Strings Attached To Today's Green Besns Today's green bean is string less,, green, fresh and crisp; have lots of snap. They're tops in quality and low in price right now. Plan to use within a day or two after purchase. Snap in half-inch lengths or "french" by slicing lengthwise. Cook in very little salted water until tender. Fix in ways like these: To buttered green beans, try adding a sprinkle of chopped tar ragon leaves for flavor change. A sliver of garlic cooked with the beans lends an intangible but desirable flavor. Cook the beans with sliced or diced onion and serve with sour cream topping. Serve a sharp, smoky-flavored cheese sauce over the cooked beans. Add mushrooms or slivered al monds at end of cooking time. Sliced cooked bans, refriger ated then served with mayon naise or french dressing makes an excellent salad. For color and flavor contrast, add bits of chop ped canned pimiento. Peach Preserves Capture nature's full fresh peach flavor in glass. We sug gest putting some of your peach preserves in jelly glasses; then every st bite will be eaten when served with no storage holdovers. From each tw pounds of ripe peaches you'll get about four cups sliced peach- CAKE ON PICNIC Take it easy. Bake a cake and take it along right in the pan in which it is baked. Treat your picnickers to the new instant chocolate chip cake or the instant lemon flake cake; both made with "mixes." Or bake one of each and top with frostings suggested in today's food columns. The FamiSy Council Editor's note: The Faml! Council consists of a judge, m psrchlatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor a women's editor and two writers. Each article Is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that . have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Jack N. We can't make it to the altar. Gloria F. I can't hurt my parents. Jack N. I am 28 and have been going with a girl a year younger, on and off for the past six years. We are in love, yet we can't seem to make it to the altar. For one thing, we are of dif ferent faiths. When we first met, Gloria said this didn't mat ter to her at all. We were both away at college then. When the time came for us to go home on vacations and for me to meet her parents, she said the shock would be too much for them. Since then, I've gotten to know them and I think they like me, yet Gloria says they don't ac cept me as a prospective son-in-law. We broke up entirely about four different times, but we keep coming together again be cause we really love one anoth er. I feel Gloria is now old enough to make a decision with out regard to her parents' feel ings. Gloria F. I could never disregard my parents' feelings. We just don't have that kind of relationship. I have always been very close to them. I wouldn t hurt them for anything in the world. My parents say" they will .be very disappointed and unhappy if I marry outside of our faith. Yet they think Jack is- a very fine young man and tell me I should go ahead if I really feel he is the one man for me. They say they don't want to stand in the way of my happiness. When I realize how wonderful they are about the whole thing, I can't stand to disappoint them. I miss Jack terribly when I'm not with him, but when my par ents give me the go-ahead I al most wish I had never known es, nine medium glasses of pre serves. Make each batch sep arately. Do not try to double recipe. 4 cups sliced peaches 6 cups (2 pounds 10 ounces) isugar M cup lemon juice (2 lemons) V4 bottle liquid fruit pectin Peel and pit about two pounds fully ripe peaches. Slice thin and measure four cups. Place alter nate layers of peaches and sugar in a very large saucepan. Let stand at room temperature four to six hours. Squeeze the juice from two medium-size lemons. Measure one-quarter cup lem on juice into saucepan with fruit. Place over high heat; bring to full rolling boil andyboil hard three minutes, stirring carefully. Remove from heat and at once stir in liquid fruit pectin. Skim off foam with metal spoon. Stir and skim by turns for eight to 10 minutes to cool slightlr and prevent floating , fruit. Ladle quickly into glasses. Cover pre serves at once with one-eighth inch hot paraffin, rolling glass 'gently to seal sides. him. Yet when I go out with other men I realize nobody but Jack could ever be the man for me. The Council: The stalemate will be broken when either Gloria or Jack realizes that Gloria's parents and their feel ings are not really the issue here. The parents have stated their case a little ambiguously be cause they sense Gloria's own hesitation. They say they'll be "unhappy" if she marries out side her faith, yet they don't want to stand in the way of her happiness. In other words, they would prefer her to find a young man of her own faith to love, but if she can't they're willing to accept Jack. We'll bet that if Gloria really made up her mind in favor of Jack, they'd withdraw the first part of the statement. As long as she is un sure, they feel she ought to look around for somebody else. ' Six years is an awfully long time for this kind of cat and mouse game. Gloria is foolish to blame her hesitation on her parents who evidently consider her old enough to make a deci sion. As long as she does this, she is obscuring her real feel ings from herself. There could be many reasons for Gloria's indecision. Possib ly the idea of marriage really frightens her, or perhaps there are things about Jack she can't quite accept, in - spite of her fondness for him. It is just pos sible the religious difference and the accompanying differences in values and background mean more to her than she likes to acknowledge. She should try to understand her own attitudes so she can give Jack a firm yes or no and go on to make a more satisfac tory relationship with him or somebody else. ..:.- CALLING at White House, Neil H.

PEPSI COLA BOTTLING CO., MEDFORD Thursday, August 8, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREK American, Russian Engineers Pit Steel Knowledge on Indian Plains Oakland, Calif. (IP Ameri can and Russian engineers are pitting their industrial know- how against one another on the plains of India this summer in a unique battle whose key is the making of steel. At stake is whether Soviet or Survey Planned To Determine Needs Of Polio Patients A countywide survey to dis cover the current rehabilitation needs of all post-polio patients will be conducted this month by the Jackson county chapter of the National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis, Gerry Gasti neau, chapter chairman, has an nounced. The local survey is part of a nationwide project by the Na tional Foundation to compile a roster of polio cases of all ages and degree of disability, regard less of date of onset. "Modern medicine has made impressive strides in developing new rehabilitation techniques," Gastineau said. The chairman pointed out that the March of Dimes organiza tion, having scored a victory in its war against polio with the Salk vaccine, is now spending more money toward rehabilita tion of post-polio patients. "We want to know what their specific problems may be, so that they may be helped to re gain ' useful lives, if humanly possible, even though it may take a considerable period of time," he declared. The roster is being prepared with coopera tion of the Jackson County Medi cal Society and member physi cians, department of Public Wel fare, office of Vocational Reha bilitation, State Crippled Chil dren's Service and county school systems. Information Sought t Information sought from each patient, whether a paralytic or non - paralytic case, includes whether he is employed or at tends school, if 'he can climb stairs and dress himself, wheth er he receives regular treatment and if he uses a respiratory aid. Gastineau asked that all per sons who have ever had polio, whether disabled or not, send their names and addresses to his office at 212 Fluhrer bldg., Med-ford. American workmen, and private rather than socialized ownership can step up faster the yearly steel output of "neutralist" -India. Its 400 million population will watch the outcome closely. The engineers division of the Henry J. Kaiser Co. of Oakland is carrying the ball for the American side. It has contracted with the privately owned Tata Iron & Steel Co. to increase ca pacity at the Jamshedpur mills from 1,300,000 to 2,000,000 tons annually. Russians Also Building The Russians meanwhile are working to complete a 1,000,-000-.-ton integrated plant at Bhilai in central India. Observ ers say the Soviets are going all out to 'build an ultra - modern $234 million plant in record time 1959 the deadline. Meanwhile some 100 Kaiser engineers are about halfway through expanding the Tata plant, with next May 31 the tar get date for 'completion. The Tata mills .some 125 miles northeast of Calcutta, were founded early in the cen tury with American assistance and the industrial city that sprang up has become known as the "Pittsburgh" of India. India has also signed agree ments with Britain and Ger many for steel mills and subsidi ary contracts with some two dozen nations on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Kaiser Has Fro Hand Tata has given Kaiser virtual ly a free hand in expanding its plant. The California firm has placed orders totaling more than $78 million for rolling mills from Germany, cranes from Japan, electrical gear from the United States and Switzerland and boiler equipment and coke from England. More than 100 ships have been used to date to bring the equip ment to Calcutta. An indication of the confidence of both Tata and Kaiser that the 30-month construction schedule will be met is the absence of penalty or bonus clauses in the agreement. Most of the Kaiser techni cians brought their families with them. They live in a $2 million dollar community known as "Kaiser Kolony," its 100 air conditioned bungalows designed by an Indian student of Frank Lloyd Wright Application for a Medford Public Library borrower's card requires only a few minutes.
