It may surprise you to learn
that many otherwise good
cooks ruin pork chops in the

For spicing, prunes are best
cooked like this. Cover them

The Seasoning Sails
Provide Subtle Flavor
The vegetable seasonings.
such as garlic, jonion and cel
ery, have been used in the
cuisine of almost every corner
of the globe for countless cen
turies, but only in recent years
have we found them available
in small jars, bottles or shak
ers.
Subtle in flavor, they make
it possible to season to taste"
according to family prefer
ences. Most homemakers keep
all three handy for every day
use in ways like these.
Pork chops are delicious
when seasoned with onion
and celery salt. The real flav
or adventurer will add poul
try seasoning as well.
Steaks are just about per
fect with any one of the sea
soning slats added, or with all
three, garlic, onion and cel
ery rubbed in just before
cooking.
Roast beef reacts favorably
to onion and garlic salt. Just
before cooking rub the beef
with either one. Good with pot
roast, too.
Hamburgers, chicken, spa
ghetti sauce and meat loaf are
more flavorful with the ad
dition of onion salt and celery
salt.
Fish has more of a come-
hither taste when seasoning
salts are on the job. Try shred
ded cod fish with a dash of
celery salt. Fine in croquet
tes, too.
Among vegetables, cabbage
goes well with onion or cel-
celery salt.
Others. A dash of celery
salt is delicious on hard cook
ed or fried eggs. Add a whisp
er of celery salt to a souffle,
along with paprika and pars
ley flakes. Add onion salt to
mashed potato patties. Try
substituting celery or onion
salf for the regular salt in a
batch of baking powder bis
cuits.
Add one or all three sea
soning salts to any simple
French-style salad dressing.

OLCC To Retain
Tough Policy on
Eugene Licenses
Portland HP) The Ore
gon Liquor Control Commis
sion indicated today that it
would maintain its tough pol
icy regarding licenses near
the University 'of Oregon
campus despite an attorney
general's opinion that a "dry
zone" around the campus was
not legally constituted.
Chairman Hugh Kirkpat
rick said the commission "has
been and is willing to go
along on a cooperative ar
rangement made by a previ
ous commission, university of
ficials and members of the
city government of Eugene."
Not Believed Legal
Kirkpatrick said the OLCC
had asked Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton for an
opinion and added that the
present commission has never
believed the dry zone was
"either legal or proper."
But the chairman indicated
this would not make-it easy
to obtain licenses in the area.
To Stand On Merits
He said the OLCC is willing
to let each application for a
license to sell alcoholic bev
erages stand on its own mer
its, and added: "It must be
remembered that the purpose
of the Knox Act was not for
the convenience and benefit
of prospective licensees, and
whether their economic sur
vival is at stake is not neces
sarily of concern to the com
mission. Rather, we are in
terested in whether the issu
ance of a license will serve
any usefulness to the public
on the basis of convenience
and necessity and likewise,
we are concerned whether the
issuance of a license in any
given location will tend to
create a nuisance to the nor
mal well being of a commun
ity." Sack Defendant
In $15,000 Suit
Portland (IP) George F.
Sack, 60, Portland apartment
house owner now serving a
life sentence for the murder
of his wife, Goldie, will face
a $15,000 civil court suit here
Jan. 30.
The action was brought by
George Goodrich, the Tilla
mook attorney who is admin
istrator of the estate of the
late Goldie Sack.
The suit contends that Mrs.
Sack would have accumulated
$15,000 during the balance of
her life had she not been
slain. The complaint alleges
that as the convicted slayer
of the woman Sack owes her
estate $15,000.
Sack was convicted and
condemned to death for plac
ing his wife in the trunk of
his car where she was asphyx
iated. The death sentence vas
later commuted to life im
prisonment by Gov. Robert
Holmes who opposes capital
punishment on moral grounds.
