They pro vide taste and eye appeal and can be used in desesrts or salads. Seasonal supplies of these special fruits are now on Oregon markets, say home economists at the local extension office and Oregon State College. Quality arid prices are generally very good. To help homemakers get acquainted with some of these fruits, they offer these brief de scriptions and uses. Avocados are in season the year round with peak supplies beginning this month and con tinuing through the winter. Giant avocados are especially good buys now, they state. Pro ducers from California, the country's largest avocado sup plier, says the avocado crop is better than during the past two seasons. Good news to Oregon homemakers, explain home econ omists, as good supplies are usually accompanied by reason able prices. To satisfy the sweet tooth, persimmons are suggested. Per simmons are about the size of an apple and acorn shaped. They range in color from yellow to red and are usually seedless. When buying persimmons, homemakers are reminded to choose fruit that has fresh look ing pale green leaves. Skin should not be broken or bruised. Chill, peel and eat persim mons plain or with a dash of lime or lemon juice. They're good in fruit and avocado sal ads. Or use persimmon puree in muffin or griddlecake batter. Pomegranates resemble a flattened orange in appearance. The top of the fruit has a small crown or petal-like projection. Its tough, thin, leathery rind may vary in color fr,om pale yellow or red to purple. Buy pomegranates that have thin, tough rinds free from cracks and with fresh looking crowns Seeds should not be exposed. Ruby red kernels of the pome' granate brighten fruit cups, sal ads, or desserts. One pomegran ate has enough kernels, home economists say, to garnish many salads. How To Store Cookies Home economists of the Gas Appliance Manufacturers' asso ciation sayt here are two ways to store Christmas cookies and they are not interchange' able. Crisp, delicate cookies like spritz, butter or sugar cookies should be stored in a can with a loose cover in a cool place (not the refrigerator). Cookies Tich in fruit, like filled cook ies and soft drop cookies, should not bestored in an air-tight cov ered earthen jar or can. Perhaps the first monument erected to a woman in the Unit ed States honors Hannah Duston, who was captured by Indians at Haverhill, Mass., in 1697, the National Geographic magazine says. Hannah, another woman, and a boy supposedly killed 10 Indians to make their escape. The statue at Haverhill shows Hannah with her tomahawk in her hand. Holiday Salad The old-lace shade 'of fresh pears combined with the bril liance of salad greens, sparkling persimmons and red grapes make a pleasing appearance for a holiday salad. Fresh pears are one of the best salad fruits, since their flavor compliments both fruit and vegetables as well as seafood, fowl and meats. Dip them in leifion juice as soon as you slice them and you can make your salad in advance without harm to either the flavor or the appearance of the pears. For this salad use 1 or 2 ripe fresh Anjou, Cornice or Bosc pears, 1 ripe persimmon, red grapes and endive or other salad greens. Wash, core and slice pears into 8 slices each. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Slice persimmon and arrange alternately with pear slices on bed of endive. Add grapes, which have been halved and seeded, saving a cluster or two for garnish. Fill other half of salad platter with a tossed green salad. Serve with french dressing. Serves six. JACKSONVILLE Garden Club Meeting Held By BETTE HOSKINS Jacksonville Jacksonville Garden club met last Thursday at the home of Mrs. Kenneth Farley of Medford.

A recipe from Bohemia, handed down in her family for many years, was given to the group by Mrs. Os trander. The recipe was for kolachky cookies, made with 1 cup sifted flour, 1 cube butter or margarine, 1 pkg. cream cheese (3-oz.), cream shortening and cheese together, work in the flour. Roll out paper thin on floured board. Cut into two inch rounds. Spread with fruit jam (takes a cup for this recipe), fold edges of cookie in towards center and press down so cookies won't spread.

The family Council -does not tiv advice; it merely reports o problems that Have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselor Victor B. Should a 15-year- old boy have to do housework? Mrs. H.B. But we all hate housework. www Victor B. I would like to know if a 15-year-old body is supposed to do housework like washing, ironing or cooking. My mother went to work rec ently and she said we all have to pitch in and help with the housework. That "pitch in" stuff is a big laugh. My 10-year-old sis ter does practically nothing ex cept dry the dishes and my fath er does nothing except take out the garbage. My mother expects me to do things like peel pota toes, put . the laundry in the washer, iron all the handker chiefs. I never 'heard of any boy who has to do jobs like that and I know quite a few whose moth ers are going to work. What a life! Mrs. H.B. Victor certainly exaggerates the picture! Sure, I asked him to peel potatoes exactly once when I couldn't be home in time. I may have asked him to "cook" by putting a light under something I had already prepared. His sister is awkward at these things. I know these household de tails are just awful, but they do have 4 be done and our ex penses now make it necessary for me to work for a while. My husband would be willing to help more with the housework, but his job is very exhausting and he is too tired at night. The trouble is that everyone including me hates housework. The Council: Mrs. H. B. has put her finger right on the prob lem "the trouble is that every one including me hates house work." Mrs. H. B. cannot expect any member of the family to "pitch in" with goodwill to do a job acknowledged as detestable. The children may have a strong urge to cooperate and to please Moth er, but it is inevitable for them to want to pass the buck or to perform their jobs with a chip on their shoulder if they have the feeling that both Mother and Dad are trying to run put on that very job. Mrs. H. B. should recognize that the first step in changing Victor's attitude should be to change her own attitude. Of course there is drudgery in housework as there is in any kind of work. There is also a creative side and a pleasantly routine aspect to the work. This entire family should learn something about the fun of cooking. Victor should do more than peel potatoes or turn Try Our Nationally Advertised VI J ST All Garments Delivered in Plastic Bags iz custom laundered shirts Fit Better Feel Better Look Better "Your Charge 601 East Main.

If he ever belong ed to the Boy Scouts, he would know that cooking can be a de light and a privilege and sure ly he knows that the armed forces don't consider potato peel ing as outside the realm of man's work. On the other hand, Victor's sister is by no means too young to handle her share of this work, and his father may find such work relaxing rather than tir ing. Even routine jobs, like iron ing can be pleasant if they are done willingly. Routine physical tasks often help the mind and imagination to work better. We don't blame Victor for re senting drudgery. We do think his whole family is missing a great deal by not learning to enjoy work. (COPYRIGHT 1957. GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)
