Feeding the Family

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

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

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.

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

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. ..:.-

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
