Lean Beef Now Plentiful
In Market
This is the season of year that
brings lots of lean range fed beef
into our markets for braising and
simmering in such old-fashioned
favorities as beef stew, pot
roasts, New England boiled din
ners and meat pies. This year
something new has been added
to our consideration of plentiful
budget-priced lean beef.
Weight watchers welcome the
fat-scant meat which, according
to nutritionists, provides ample
needed protein, vitamins and
minerals while counting up to
fewer calories. Food editors
meeting in Chicago will discuss
this timely topic and you'll be
hearing about it.
Plump Dumpling Add
Interest to Beef Stew
Dumplings are at least as old
as nursery rhymes. Yet despite
their venerable age, dumplings
are up to new tricks. A fluffy
dumpling, delightful in itself, be
comes a food of distinction when
herbs are added. What's more,
herb-flavored dumplings lend ad
ditional aroma to the whole
stew. However, first things first;
we start with this savory stew:
Hi pounds beef stew meat,
cut in 11 2-inch pieces
1 'a teaspoons salt
U teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons lard
1 quart water
Vi teaspoons Tabasco
12 small white onions, peeled
6 medium carrots, scraped and
quartered
Blend one-half teaspoon of the
salt with the pepper and flour;
roll pieces of meat in blended
mixture. Put lard in heavy ket
tle; add beef and brown on all
sides. Add water, one-half tea
spoon salt and Tabasco. Cover;
simmer 2 to 2V4 hours until
meat is almost tender. Add re
maining one-half teaspoon salt,
the onions and carrots; cover and
cook until vegetables are tender,
about 15 minutes. Add dump
lings and cook according to
dumpling instructions.
Herbed Dumplings
Sift together two cups pre
sifted all-purpose flour, four tea
spoons baking power, one tea
spoon salt and one-quarter of
thyme, marjoram or savory, of
if you like, use a combination
of these. Stir in two tablespoons
finely chopped parsley. Add one
cup milk; mix only enough to
moisten ingredients. Drop by
spoonfuls (about 12) on top of
meat or vegetable pieces in the
gently boiling stew. Cook un
covered (yes, we mean it) 10
minutes; cover tightly and cook
10 minutes longer. Makes four
generous servings.
Tips for Fluffy . Dumplings.
When you have mixed your
dumplings, drop the batter care
fully by spoonfuls on top of the
stew so that dumplings can
steam without getting their feet
wet. A new look in dumplings
is achieved by starting cooking
without a lid on the pot, then
steaming, covered, for the last
half o the cooking. This per
mits them to emerge from the
pot with a maximum of lightness
and a firm covering.
Dumpling Variation. A change
in the texture of old favorites
is often inviting. For cornmeal
dumplings, substitute one-third
cup cornmeal for one-third cup
flour. Use two tablespoons less
of the milk and add herbs or
not as desired.
Fruited Short Ribs
For a new taste delight, braise
inexpensive, flavorful short ribs
with fruits and spices. Have 2Vi
to 3 pounds short ribs cut into
individual servings. Dredge in
flour and brown on all sides in
hot lard or other fat; takes about
20 minutes. Season with salt and
pepper. Add one cup water and
one-eighth teaspoon each of
cloves, nutmeg and allspice. Cov
er and simmer two hours. Add
one-half pound dried prunes and
one-quarter dried apricots which

Our Foods Editor Reports
On Annual Food Conferences
Newspaper foods-editors from
throughout the United States
with a sprinkling from Canada
ani Hawaii have gathered at the
Drake Hotel in Chicago for the
15th annual Food Editors Confer
ence. They are here for the pur
pose of being brought up to date
on wrlat's new in production and
distribution of foodstuffs. While
listening, watching and learning
they are also busily eating their
way through samplings of the
many new products and dishes
featuring new ways with the old.
All very delicious and fattening.
This annual event has become
increasingly impressive over'the
years. It is an exciting and in
spirational experience to see and
hear about the most recent ad
vances in the food field. Ad
vances made possible by con
stant research and the inventive
ness of men and women of this
vast industry. An industry which
works in friendly competition to
give the American people the
most diversified, healtful, easiest
to prepare foods in the world at
the most economical prices.
Monday morning, Sept. 30, the
conference was in full swing as
food editors met for a "Beat the
Clock" breakfast hosted by Arm
our and Company. A hearty
breakfast of grilled Canadian
Style bacon and deviled eggs
topped with sharp cheddar
cheese and chopped chives was
served in the Gold Coast Room
of the Drake Hotel. A color slide
presentation of Armour's "Beat
the Clock" convenience foods
was the highlight of the occa
sion. A few of the products
shown were tasty ham pot pies,
veal drumsticks, a new frozen
chicken dinner featuring a Pep
peridge Farm breading; large
and small turkeys, stuffed and
ready for the oven;' and (we
think this is practically the ulti
mate in convenience foods)
shredded and cubed cheese for
easy recipe integration. Really,
how simple can cooking get!
Luncheon, hosted by the
Quaker Oats Company, gave us
a preview of "New Fashions in
Food". We were projected into
the distant future with the help
of a fashion show featuring
styles of the 21st century. It just
could be that in the year 2000
we may be taking our nourish
ment in capsule form . . . Main
dish pills, salad pills, dessert
pills . . . hmmm . In the mean
time we will continue to cook.
How to do this in the easiest
most pleasant manner is the apr
proach of the Quaker Oats folks.
You'll be hearing about a new
recipe called Satellite Fantasy
which they served. It is a des
sert that is literally out-of-this-world.
Monday evening found us din
ing in the Crystal Ballroom of
the Sheraton-Blackstone Hotel as
guests of the Borden Company.
"Flights of Fancy in Foods" was
the theme. Harold W. Comfort,
president of The Borden Compa
ny appeared before us on film.
He told us that a "Second Rev
olution" is changing the face of
America and forcing food com
panies to alter their ways of
doing business in order to keep
up with consumers. According
to Comfort, five factors have
made the' problem of supplying
the consumer with her wants
"extraordinarily c o m p 1 e x."
These factors are: higher income,
greater leisure, a rush to the
suburbs, changing family rela
tionships, and increased know
ledge and education. As a result
of these changes, Comfort said,
the consumer is now controlling
the company's courses of action
"more than at any other time in
our entire century in business."

Mrs. R. M. I should apply to
get into a home for the aged.
Ina T. I couldn't leave my
mother there.
Mrs. R. M. I am 70 years old,
old enough to start thinking
about my old age. I have been
living with my widowed daugh
ter and unmarried granddaugh
ter for the past ten years. We
make a pretty happy household
right now, but I am concerned
about the future.
For some reason my health
doesn't seem to get any better
as the years go on and many
days I can't go out or it's hard
for me to shift for myself in the
house. My daughter and grand
daughter both go to work and I
don't like to have a maid fuss
ing around, so I'm often lonely.
Things aren't going to get bet
ter as the years go on, and I
realize there is often a long wait
ing period fo get into a home for
the aged. I would like to apply
now, while there is no urgent
need. My daughter is horrified
at the idea.
Ina T. I have visited people
at these homes and it is the most
awful, depressing sight in the
world. I couldn't think of leav
ing my mother there.
My mother is a lovely woman,
but no one is so difficult and
cranky as she is when she
doesn't feel just right. That's
why we have such a problem
keeping a maid who'll care for
her. I can't see how things would
be better at a home for the
aged. They just won't treat her
right. .
My daughter says Granny is
just trying to threaten us and
bully us into staying home with
her with all this talk about a
home for the aged. But we can't
afford to stay home and take
care of her. We live on our
salaries and have nobody to sup
port us. My mother should try

Council
to adjust herself to a maid or
toward being alone part of the
day. She can always watch TV.
The Council: Mrs. R. M. is in
a mood to take a practical ap
proach toward her future prob
lems and Ina should take ad'
vantage of this opportunity to
clarify her own mind on the
subject.
She should recognize that not
all homes for the aged are alike
and that a good one does offer
certain advantages, such as ready
medical aid, companionship and
activities planned to meet the
needs of the aged.
Ina should not blind herself
to the fact that "adjusting" will
not get easier for her mother as
time goes on and the chances
are she'll need more and more
care.
1 Mrs. R. M. is wise to have the
foresight to want to consider a
home "while there is no urgent
need." It is possible to be more
selective when one is not pres
sed by necessity. She and Ina
ought to visit some homes to
gether and get an idea of what
they are like. .
Hare are a few key points to
check when looking for a home
for the aged:
1. Rooms. Are they clean, com
fortable, well lit, well venti
lated? Can a resident have a few
of his own belongings?
2. Meals. Look over a week's
menus and sample a meal, if
possible. Are they nutritious and
attractively served?
3. Medical care. Is there a
well-equipped infirmary for
minor ills and competent nurses
always in attendance?
4. Program. Are there too
many rules or can residents come
and go as they please and have
visitors? What facilities are
there for entertainment and hob
bies? (Copyright 1957,

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Foreign affairs stuff:
Red Chinese Premier Chou En-
Lai (old China hands insist it
should be pronounced Joe En
LIE) boasted today that his re
gime will be seated in the United
Nations in spite of opposition by
the United States.
In a speech broadcast by radio
Peiping, Chou told 2,000 guests
at a reception that China will
eventually play a big role in
world affairs.
I
S THAT A THREAT?
Or a promise?
IN AN effort to find .an answer,
let's try looking at the dough
nut instead of the hole.
Tthere is an ancient saying to
the effect that if one more inch
could be added to the length of
each Chinaman's shirt, and if the
average Chinaman's income
could be increased to the point
where he would be able to PAY
for the added inch, it would cre
ate a NEW MARKET for all the
added cotton the United States
could raise.
(That, of course, was back in
the days before we quit trying
to sell 'our cotton in world mar
kets and started buying it up at
high subsidized prices and stash
ing it away in government ware
houses.) BUT let s get back to the China
man and his shirt.
The only way he can get the
money to pay for a longer shirt
or, better still, an undershirt
to keep him warmer in the cold
winters of northern China is
BY TRADE.
That is to say, by finding some
body who will buy more of
what HE produces so that he in
turn can buy more of what the
other fellow produces. Trade is
a two-way street. It just won't
work as a one-way street.
I SUPPOSE I'm old-fashioned,
but I can't help feeling that
it will be better for us in the
long run to TRADE with China
than to FIGHT her at every turn
of the road.
Let's put it this way:
Suppose you are running a
store in any average community.
You can't GET CUSTOMERS by
telling them you'll shoot 'em if
they don't do exactly as you say.
You can't get customers by spit
ting in their faces. "The way to
get customers is to DO BUSI
NESS with them on a fair and
reasonable business.
And .
In the process of doing busi
ness with people on a fair and
reasonable basis you'll make a
lot of friends, whereas if you
reach for a gun every time they
fail to toe your line you'll make
a lot of enemies.
LET'S take a look at the Pa
cific Coast.
For a century, our dream has
been TRADE WITH THE ORI
ENT. That is still our dream. Tha
teeming millions of the Orient
offer vast markets for our prod
ucts. We can't get customers in the
Orient by going to war with
China.

Oldsmobile Offers
Improved Economy
Detroit (IP) Air suspension
and a new carburetor designed
to improve fuel economy up to
20 per cent will be offered on
the new 1958 Qldsmobile cars,
according to General Manager
Jack F. Wolfram.
Wolfram said at a national
press preview that the com
pany's new fuel-saving "econ-o-way"
carburetor will be stand
ard equipment on the 1958 Dy
namic "8" series.
He said the air suspension ap
paratus, billed as the "new
matic ride," will be offered as
extra-cost optional equipment on
all models.
Oldsmobile's chief engineer,
Harold N. Metzel, explained the
one-fifth reduction of fuel con
sumption on the Dynamic "8"
series is made possible by a new
two-barrel carburetor.
Metzel said this is done by
"reducing the seldom-used per
formance factor at the top of the
horsepower curve and diverting
this seldom-used high speed per
formance to low and medium
speed fuel economy."
Although the engine will have
less horsepower, Metzel said, it
"has plenty of reserve and pep
I throughout the normal driving
range.
