Fruit and Chess Ideal '
Fall Dessert Course
Heavier, heartier meals just
seem natural as the fall weather
gets underway. This calls for
lighter more distinctively flavor
ed desserts. Since October is
Cheese Festival Month, which
means cheese will be in the lime
light price-wise as well as nutrition-wise,
why not serve an af
rangement of a number of kinds
with a variety of crackers plus a
bowlful of colorful grapes (wash
ed and ready to be clipped off as
desired), crisp red apples cut in
wedges and or juicy sweet pears.
When preparing a dessert tray
. of cheese include some "high"
cheese, some sharp and at least
one mild such as cream cheese
or jack. American cheddar is still
the most popular cheese in the
United States so a wedge of this
is always safe.
For those who like spicy
cheese include some Gorgonzola,
Stilton, Elue or Roquefort. The
mild nutlike lavor of Edam and
Gouda is preferred by many.
Among the more, shall we say,
aromatic cheese we find Cam
embert, Limburger, Brie and Mu
enster. Provolone and Apple
cheese are smoked cheese with
a sharp flavor.
We've named only a few of the
better known cheeses. Be ex
perimental and try others. Each
has a flavor distinctly its own.
Texture, too, varies from hard
to very soft.
Sweet Cream Corn Bread
This wonderful fluffy, sweet
cream topped corn bread was
greatly enjoyed by foods editors
in Chicago recently at a break
fast meeting.
1 cup yellow com meal
1 cup sifted flour
Ji cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
i teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
i cube margarine, melted
2 eggs, beaten
11 cup sweet cream
Sift dry ingredients together.
Stir in milk, melted margarine
and beaten eggs. Mix well. Pour
into an 8x8x2-inch greased bak
ing pan. Bake in hot oven, 400
degrees, 20 minutes. Pour cream
over top and bake about five
minutes longer or until corn
bread is done. If desired, batter
may be baked in individual two
inch square salad molds using
one-third cup batter for each.
Spoon cream equally over each
mold in last step. Makes sixteen
two-inch squares.
Elegant Mushroom Soup
Will Delight Gourments
The exciting flavor and
creamy smooth texture (except
for the mushrooms, that is) of
this elegant soup will delight all
who enjoy the delicate distinct
flavors of wine-cookery. For ex
tra glamour, garnish with a tiny
spoonful of whipped or sour
cream topped with finely minced
parsley, chives or pimiento.
1 4-ounce can mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter
1 (lOl-ounce can condensed
cream of mushroom soup
'.i cup California sherry
1 cup cream
116 teaspoon nutmeg
l',2 teaspoons instant minced
onion or 1 tablespoon finely
chopped raw onion
Drain mushrooms and reserve
liquor. Saute mushrooms lightly
in butter. Blend in remaining
ingredients one at a time stirring
after each addition until creamy
smooth. This includes the re
served mushroom broth. Heat
slowly just to boiling point.
Serve in small heated soup
sowls. Makes four to five serv
ings. We double this because
quests invariably say, "Just a
little more, please."
Hearty Chef's Salad
A hearty salad such as this
can play a dual role. Serve in
small portions with dinner or
serve as luncheon main course
along with hot rolls and coffee.
'2,'3 cup ripe olives
1 quart broken salad greens
1 a cup diced sharp cheese
1 2 cup bologna or luncheon meat
2 diced hardcooked eggs
1 sliced cucumber
t cup salad oil
1 1 2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
IV2 teaspoons salt
Vz teaspoon black pepper
2 tomatoes
Cut olives from pits into large
pieces into salad bowl. Add
greens, cheese, meat, eggs, and
half the cucumber. Combine oil,
vinegar, mustard, salt and pep
per; stir together. Pour over
salad and toss lightly to blend.
Decorate with tomato wedges
and remaining cucumbers.
Cheese, Rice Grape Industries
Celebrate October Abundance
October is the month chosen
to celebrate the Fall abundance
of cheese, rice and grapes. The
Cheese Festival is under full
steam, so be kind to your budget
and use more of this versatile,
healthful dairy food. Homemak
ers will find a wide variety of
cheese to choose from; however
seven out of every 10 pounds
sold will be cheddar or a variety
thereof. Try different cheeses
for new and varied taste experi
ences, y
Rice. We're hearing more and
more about rice today as the
gigantic combines harvest an
other crop of this top quality,
economical American - grown
grain. Rice is one of the world's
oldest staple foods. Reference to
it was recorded in China over
5,000 years ago. Economical to
begin with, there is no waste
after purchase because every
ounce is used as it comes from
the package. You can easily put
"rice appeal into every meal."
Start with rice as a cereal or in
pancakes for breakfast. Hot rice,
like "grits," goes wonderfully
with fried eggs. For lunch and
dinner try a spicy rice pudding,
serve it as a vegetable, as an
extender of cheese, meat, fish
or protein food, or in soups. It's
low in calories, too.
Grapes. The bouquet of grapes
fills the air and market bins are
piling high. First come the
grapes . . . wonderful for eating
out of hand. . . then come wines,
raisins, superb juices and jellies.
Right now there are plenty of
Thompson seedless, flame color
ed Tokays, Muscats and Ribiers.
Other fruits in plentiful supply
are apples, cantaloups, oranges,
a variety of melons, Bartlett
pears and bananas. A few lusc
ious peaches still around.
Vegetable Buys. Potatoes, both
white-and sweet, are to be found
at good prices. Take your choice
of Italian, Summer, Yellow, But
ternut or Banana squash. Plenty
of green peppers for stuffing or
serving as garnish or ingredient.
October is one of the peak
months for tomato production.
Other food buys include beans,
cabbage, carrots, celery, cucum
bers, eggplant, cauliflower and
corn. Lettuce is in fair supply at
reasonable prices.
Protein Buyi. Chicken and
turkeys continue their run as
best buys. Supplies of fresh pork
are gaining. Smoked meats,
bacon and ham, are down in
price, but still don't qualify as
best buys. Enough lamb and veal
available to fill the bill, but beef
is a comparatively better buy.
Eggs are in good supply.

1,077,000 Cases of
Flu Estimated
Through Last Week
Washington TP The Public
Health Service estimated Thurs- i
day that 1,077,000 Americans
were hit by flu through last Fri
day. It said the figure was based
on school absenteeism and re
ports from physicians and health
officers and is only a "very
rough estimate" of cases since
the first outbreak of Asian flu
this summer.
The service said 350,000 new
cases of influenze and influenza
like diseases were reported last
week. It was the fourth straight
week in which the number of
cases has increased.
"Most of the influenza-like
illnesses," it said, "continue to
be reported in schools, colleges,
institutions, and other closed
groups ...
"Up to the present time, only
a few states have reported epi
demics in their general popula
tions." The health agency said a few
deaths "directly attributable"
to the flu have occurred, mostly
in California and Louisiana.
Most of them occurred in the 15
to 35 age group and almost all
of them were complicated by
pneumonia.
