MANY USES Bartletts beckon from every fruit salad invit
ing us to enjoy them out-of-hand, stewed, baked, fried, pickled;
in salads and as dessert; in jams, preserves and in this fresh
pear chutney for sharing with fortunate friends and party
givers.
Feeding the Family

Vie know of nothing to com
pare with a pear. Pears have
been enjoyed since long before
Homer grew pears and wrote
about them in the garden of
Alcinous back about SOO B.C.
Of today's more than 3,000 pear
varieties, less than a dozen are
commercially important. And
of these, the Bartlett far out
ranks all others.
California, Oregon and Wash
ington orchards produce about
90 per cent of all pears sold
commercially with our own
Medford orchards responsible
for a large share. The North
west grows more than 56 per
cent of the canners crop.
Plentiful luscious Bartletts
are superb eaten out-of-hand.
They may be stewed, baked.
friend, pickled and glazed.
They're good in fresh fruit
salads .'with peaches, prunes,
melons and grapes or berries.
Core them and top with mint
ice.
Top them, halved and cored
of course, with ice cream and
pour minted chocolate sauce
over all. They're superlative as
dessert with cheese slices, fin
gers or wedges on the side. Top
pear halves with cottage cheese
sprinkled ever so lightly with
candied ginger. Brush them
with butter, sprinkle with
brown sugar and broil until
glazed for serving with meat.
Bartlett pears are among the
easiest of fruits for putting in
glass jars and home freezer con
tainers. They make fine flavor
ed jams, preserves and baked
goods.
Make Pear Chutney
We asked California' Pear
Growers for a brand new. recipe
that could be put in pints for
give-aways to favorite friends
and relatives; for endearing us
to hostesses and for the family
to enjoy. Make several batches.
. Don't try to double up. Pack in
jars now; dress them up later
to fit each special give-away
occasion.
3 pounds firm fresh pean.un
peeled 1 pound fresh plums, un
peeled 2 ounces fresh ginger root or
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
8 ounces package seeded
raisins
2 pound package dark brown
sugar
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1 tablespoon cayenne
V cup salt
2 cups while vinegar
' Use your heaviest kettle or
Dutch oven for this. "Cracked"
ginger is small pieces of un
ground ginger root; is desirable
for chutney making. If none
available however, powdered
ginger can be substituted. You'll
wind up with about 5Vi cups
prepared Bartlett pears, 1V4
cups prepared purple plums.
" Cut unpeeled fruit into coarse
pieces; add hopped ginger root
or powdered ginger, rinsed
raisins, sugar, garlic, cayenne
(less of this if you prefer it less
hot), salt and 1 cup only of
the vinegar. Cover and bring to
a boil. Uncover and cook at
lowest possible heat one hour,
stirring ever so gently once in
while to prevent sticking.
At end of cooking time, stir
in the other cup of vinegar.
Bfing to a boil and pour into
sterilized jars. Seal immediate

but is worth it.

about 8 medium glasses or 4
pounds of jam.
Canned Salmon Good
Here's Canned Salmon Week
and it's no trouble at all to re
mind you that canned salmon
makes very fine eating in a
great many ways and has for
a long time. First salmon can
nery in America was established
at Sacramento in 1864. Salmon
has' been king of canned fish
ever since with canneries in
Alaska, Oregon and Washing
ton. Perhaps most popular uses
are in salads, .sandwiches and
in salmon loafs.
We're going to be completely
honest with you and tell you
that we think canned salmon
unsurpassed when simply taken
from the refrigerator, turned
out on a bed of watercress,
masked in mayonnaise with
added lemon juice and sprin
kled with capers.
Salmon Salad. Drain and
flake 1 pound can salmon. Com
bine Vz cup mayonnaise or salad
dressing, Vi cup chopped celery,
V4 cup cooked peas (optional)
2 tablespoons sweet pickle,
chopped, 2 tablespoons chopped
onion, 3 hard-boiled eggs,
chopped. Add salmon being
careful not to break fish into
too small pieces. Serve in let
tuce cups; garnish. Makes six
servings.
Salmon Club Sandwich. For
6 generous" sandwiches, drain
and flake 1-pound can salmon.
Combine 3 tablespoons chopped
celery, 3 tablespoons chopped
sweet pickle, 3 tablespoons
chopped onion, V2 cup mayon
naise or salad dressing. Spread
six slices of bread with fish
mixture; cover each with a sec
ond slice of bread mayonnaised
on top. Place sliced tomatoes,
salted and peppered, and let
tuce leaf on each slice; cover
with third slice of bread. Fasten
with tooth picks, cut into quart
ers. Garnish with ripe and green
clives. pass Potato chips.
Salmon Loaf. Drain (save
liquid) and flake 1 pound can
salmon, saving liquid. Combine
with 3 cups fine bread cubes,
Hi tablespoons chopped par
sley, 1 tablesspoon lemon juice,
Hi teaspoons salt, dash of cay
enne, 'z teaspoon celery salt,
2 tabelspoons grated onion, 3
tablespoons butter or margar
ine. Mix well and place in well
greased loaf pan. Combine 2
well beaten eggs and 3A cup
liquid using liquid from canned
salmon plus milk. Pour over
salmon in pan. Bake in 350 de
gree oven 45 minutes or until
loaf is firm in centre. Unmold
and serve plain. Many think
cucumbers in sour cream per
fect accompaniment for this and
so do we.
On The Side
By E. V. DURLING
(Distributed by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
In Maryland a tee n-ager
female autoist was arrested after
driving her car at the rate of
100 miles an hour. Why do
manufacturers make cars in
tended for street and highway
use that can go that fast? No
wonder so many people are
meeting sudden death in auto
mobile accidents. There should
be a speed limit put on cars
when manufactured. Sixty miles
an hour is fast enough for any
autoist to travel anywhere.

Speed Typing
Does your secretary consider
herself a speedy typist? How
many words a minute can she
type? If you don't know, clock
her. Speed record f r a standard
typewriter is 170' words a min
ute by Margaret Owen of New
York City.fjbr an electric type
writer, it ist&16 words a minute
by Stella Pajunas. Incidentally,
a French inventor has originated
an electric typewriter on which
it is possible for the average
typist to write 12 words a second
or 720 words a minute! How
ever this remarkable machine has
single keys which type entire
phrases with one tap. For ex
ample, with one tap of a key
the operator can write "Dear
Sir." Also with one tap she can
write "Sincerely Yours.." .
Over There
ihe crap table recently in
stalled in Prince Rainier's Monte
Carlo gambling joint isn't doing
so well. It lost $28,000 in one
hour recently. A New Yorker
is said to have tossed 32 con
secutive passes that night. How
ever, the battery of "one-arm
Bandit" gambling machines the
Prince put in not long ago is
reported paying off very well.
The minimum bet on these ma
chines at Monte Carlo is the
equivalent of $1.40.

makers. Some short priced fav

under very suspicious circum
stances. '

Meeting Resumes
To Settle Strike
Detroit iffl A meeting be
tween the Detroit Newspaper
Publishers association and a
joint craft union committee re
sumed today in an effort to set
tle the six day old newspaper
strike which erupted when the
Detroit News fired 67 mailing
room employes.
The Detroit News refused to
bargain with the striking Inter
national Mailers Union, calling
the walkout an "illegal action"
because the paper didn't have
a contract with the union which
was formed last November by
dissident members of the Inter
national Typographical Union.
The independent EVIU claimed
to represent 450 mailers at all
Detroit dailies. IMU President
Ray Brown said the union will
not call off the strike until the
67 mailers are rehired by the
News.
An attempt by the publishers
to get an injunction against the
IMU and Teamsters Local 372
collapsed Tuesday when Circuit
Court Judge Horace Gilmore
ruled state courts are without
jurisdiction in the dispute. Judge
Gilmore said the strike issues
could be resolved only by the
