fmily Fun Throughout
Holiday Week With Soups
Parties, parties everywhere at
this friendly season with even
more people than usual coming
and going because of the week
end between Christmas and New
Year's. Pleasantest thing we can
think of is one of those wonder
ful, fragrant meal-in-a-pot dishes
Most of them have their roots
in a foreign land so if there are
any old-world traditions cher
ished by your family, here is an
ideal time to say it with soup
For the "Happy New Year'
floating on the soup m our
picture, we cut the letters from
lemon peel, using scissors; then
sprinkled them generously with
paprika.
If you've a tureen, use it of
course. Otherwise any huge bowl
or the soup pot itself can come
to table or buffet. Put m an im
portant assortment of crackers
tfi eo with soud. chowder or
stew and also for eating with
assorted cheeses.
A fruit bowl or fruit cake
rounds out a brunch, lunch or
supper of distinction. Plenty of
coffee for grown-ups; pitchers
of milk, cider, fruit juices for
children and teen-agers.
Savory Fish Chowder
Scandinavia abounded in fish
and dairy products and many a
fine fish chowder developed
there. New England took the
delectable dish to its bosom and
claims it. So. go Scandi
navian or Down East with this
recipe. Can be made ahead ready
for quick finishing. Eight serv
ings. Early in the day, fry out one
quarter cup diced salt pork in
large kettle over low flame. Add
four medium size potatoes, peel
ed and diced, one medium onion,
chopped, IVi cups cold water,
one teaspoon salt and one-half
teaspoon pepper; cook until po
tatoes are tender (about 15 min
utes). Add one pound fish fillets
cut into generous IV2 inch cubes,
using cod or haddock. If you use
frozen fish fillets, let them de
frost first. Cook until fish is just
tender (about 10 minutes longer).
Remove from heat and set aside
until serving time to let flavor
ripen.
At serving time all you have
to do is add three cups milk and
one tablespoon butter to soup
mixture and heat to simmering
point. Pour into large tureen or
bowl or serve from soup pot if
it is presentable. Float letters
spelling out any message you
fancy.
Chicken Soup Espagnol
The Spanish way is to blend
many dominant flavors like saf
fron olives and tomatoes and
9ome up with a dish in which
none of the flavors can be sin
gled out. Ten servings here.
Cut up and bone a three-pound
chicken. Put chicken pieces in a
paper bag with a mixture of one
feilf cup flour, one teaspoon salt
and one-half teaspoon pepper;
shake until well coated. Heat
one-quarter cup butter in large
kettle; add chicken and brown
well Remove chicken and add
two medium onions, sliced, one
cup green olives that have been
pitted and chopped, one green
pepper, chopped, and tiny pmch

minutes. Return chicken to ket
tle and add three cups water or
enough to cover.
Cover tightly and simmer 1
hours or until chicken is tender.
Add one package frozen peas,
one cup canned tomatoes and

quite handsome when arranged
in a glass bowl, served at the
table or from buffet.

bananas and toss together. Mix
three tablespoons lemon juice
and one-half cup honey and pour
over the fruit. Sprinkle with
coconut and garnish with cut-up
red or green maraschino cher
ries. Serve well chilled.
Coffee for Crowd
Plenty of coffee, of course!
And of course, instant coffee! If
there are any grandmothers
handy, have them "pour" the
coffee, taking turns. Let the
teen-agers serve coffee to guests;
a very happy alliance.
For every 32 cups of coffee
to be served, empty one two-
ounce jar instant coffee into a
pot. Add 1V6 gallons (six quarts)
boiling water. Stir well. Cover.
Let simmer several minutes but
do not boil. Be sure about this.
Everyone will say "what wonder
ful coffee!"
Punch Bowl Writing
If you want to float "1958"
on your New Year's punch bowl,
here's how and once you've done
it, you can duplicate it when
ever you bring out a fresh punch
bowl of eggnogg.
Make a stencil by taking a
circle of cardboard slightly
larger than top of punch bowl.
Print numerals 1-9-5-8 in center
of cardboard and cut out with
razor blade or pointed scissors.
Watch the "9" and the "8" and
keep them connected by several
narrow strips so they won't fall
out. After making stencil, simply
lay it over filled bowl and gently
sprinkle ground nutmeg through
the open numerals, repeating as
necessary. Happy New Year!
Party Egg Nog
Here is an unusual, certain-to-
be-talked-about (favorably, thai
is) eggnog recipe that will make
25 generous servings.
Beat six eggs until light. Add
one-quarter cup sugar mixed
with one-quarter each of cinna
mon, ginger and cloves. Stir in
two quarts chilled orange juice
and one-half cup lemon juice.

Navy Destroyer
Patrols Pacific
For Crash Victim
Honolulu (Ut A lone Navy
destroyer patrolled the Pacific
today on the million to one
chance of finding another sur
vivor from a Navy radar plane
that crashed off northern Ohau
Island.
A rescue boat earlier found
four survivors of the 23 men
aboard the plane, which crash
ed Monday. The boat also re
covered two bodies. That left
17 men presumed killed.
Small Wreckage Recovered
Rear Adm. Neil K. Dietrich,
commander of the Honolulu sea
frontier, ordered the search dis
continued at sundown Wednes
day. "A considerable amount of
small wreckage was recovered,
but there has been no sign of
additional survivors," Dietrich
said.
"We are of the opinion that
all possibility of the existence
of additional survivors has been
exhausted and nothing can be
gained by a further large scale
search."
Nevertheless, he ordered the
destroyer to stay in the area
just in case another survivor
or two might be still strug
gling to stay afloat or other
bodies could be recovered.
On Routine Flight
The $7 million radar plane
was on a routine training flight
when it suddenly lost altitude
and crashed into the sea.
The four survivors were
Cmdr. Guy Howard, 41, Oak
land, Calif.; Lt. (jg) Thomas
Kline, 25, East Williston, N. D.;
Lt. (jg) Richard Rentschler, 22,
Lincoln, Neb.; and Aviation
Technician 3-C Franklin A.
Henry, 22, Kankakee, 111.
Meanwhile, the Navy appoint
ed a four-man board to try and
find out what caused the plane
to crash, apparently without
warning. There was some con
flict in the stories told by two
of the survivors.

bat because its voice lies in the
wave band of about 50,000 vi

detect sound only in the band
from 20 to 200,000 cycles.

refreshment. Scoop frozen dairy
eggnog into a punchbowl of egg
nog; keeps a large quantity of
eggnogg cold without diluting
it. Spoon frozen eggnogg over
steamed pudding in place of hard
sauce. Pour chilled eggnog over
canned peaches, apricots or
black berries at any mealtime.
Fluffy Yam Topping. Leftover

sweet potatoes will make a hand
some border for any meat or
poultry casserole. To two cups
mashed yams, add one-half tea
spoon salt, one tablespoon but
ter and one-quarter cup orange
or pineapple juice. "Whip until
fluffy. Bake in hot oven, 450 de
grees until casserole or meat pie
is bubbly, potatoes flecked with
brown.

New York (IP) Until I be
came a TV reviewer, Christmas
and I got along fine.
I used to hum 'Tis-the-season-to-be-jolly
and await the call of
Amahl and the Night Visitors
and deck my halls with boughs
of holly and when a TV star
would twinkle his mascaraed
eyes at me and chuckle "Merry
