Every Day U Saladay
Ai W Try New Ideas
No wonder westerners are
changing the salad eating hab
its of the nation. We toss a
new salad at the drop of a
lettuce leaf; try new combina
tions, exchange recipes and
salad ideas like crazy. Today s
salad vegetables account for
40 per cent of all fresh vege
tables grown commercially.
And where are most of them
grown? Right here within
trucking distance.
Not only that but National
Garden Week celebrants tell
us that 30 million persons will
be garden-growing salad-makings
from seed by mid-summer.
Tomatoes are far the
most popular vegetable with
home-growers. Number one
commercially - grown vege
table is lettuce.
Whether you pick your
vegetables from your own
patch or pick them from dis
plays in your favorite market,
you'll find many good salad
making ideas in these columns
right along.
Salad Vegetables
Fastest selling salad bowl
vegetables are lettuce, toma
toes, celery, cucumbers, Bell
peppers, escarole and endive.
Other availables right now for
C. eating raw include cabbage,
I I carrots, cauliflower, chicory,
"Z. Chinese cabbage, green onions,
chives, dry onions, mustard
i greens, parsley, radishes, spin-
ach, watercress. Cooked vege
tables favored in salads in
I elude asparagus, green beans,
s lima beans, beets, broccoli,
peas, potatoes.
Main Dish Salads
Hearty and nutritious, main
dish salads combine greens
.and other vegetables with
cubed,'Slivered or sliced cook-
rd meats or poultry, fish and
shellfish, hard - cooked eggs,
cheese.
Salad Dressings
No matter how crisp the
greens, how fresh the vege
tables, how tender the meat,
a salad without a satisfying
dressing is doomed to failure.
Salad magic is easily and
simply found in three basic
dressings which are the step
ping stones to practically all
others.
These are French dressing,
mayonnaise and cooked salad
dressing. With a jar of one or
all of these in your refrigera
tor, you can whip up, at a mo
ment's notice, myriad dress
ings. You may make any of
these from scratch, use one of
the increasingly popular salad
dressing mixes or choose from
a whole grocery shelf of com
mercial salad dressings.
Salad Vinegars
Very Important
Salad dressing success de
pends a great deal upon the
quality and flavor of the vine
gar used. Fine vinegar costs
so few centa that it Iseems
senseless to settle for less than
the very best. Here is a quick
glossary of vinegars to help in
your selection.
Cider Vinegar. Made from
the first pressing of sound,
red-ripe apples. It has a fine
mellow fruit flavor that is a
natural with fruit and vege
table salads. -
Distilled While. A crystal
clear vinegar usually made
from choice corn, ye and bar
ley malt. It has delicate aroma
which brings out the full flav
ors of foods without dominat
ing them.
Salad Vinegar. A compara
tive newcomer, salad vinegar
is a blend of distilled white,
red amber and malt vinegars
with just enough "malt" tq
give pleasing bouquet, fine
flavor.
Malt Vinegar. Here is the
ultimate in fine vinegars.
Rich, full-bodied in flavor, it
is excellent for hearty salads
of meat, seafood, macaroni
and the like. Use discriminat
ingly so it does not overpower
flavor of the salad.
Tarragon Vinegar. The epi
cure's delight. A skillful blend
of fine distilled and fermented
table vinegars with tarragon
leaves steeped until just right
to give herb fragrance to sal
ad greens, meat, eggs, fish.
Used in sour cream dressing,
this is wonderful for fruit
salads too.

made by combining one-fourth
cup vinegar, three-fourths cup

Two optometric papers were
presented at a post-graduate
educational meeting held at
the home of Dr. and Mrs.
Glenn Revel, Ashland. The
wives of members met in sep
arate session at the Revel
home. '
Dr. William J. Thompson,
Medford, reported on recent
developments in the exchange
of post-graduate optometric
information by the Optomet
ric Extension program of Dun
can, Okla.
The concluding portion of
the program was devoted to a
paper on the direct relation
ship between the retarded
child's behavior and reading
pattern, and his visual devel
opment, by Dr. Steve Dippel.
The conclusions were drawn,
Dr. Dippel reported, from a
series of tests on primary
mental abilities, perceptual
ability gauged by verbal and
visual identification, spatial
relationship skills and com
prehensive reading tests. He
emphasized the need for the
correlation of the complete
case history as well as a cross
reference of the various tests
in order to determine accur
ately the ability of the child to
achieve.
Dr. T. Winston Smith, edu
cation chairman, was moder
ator of the program and intro
duced the speakers. Next
month's program will be pre
sented by Dr. Edmund F.
Richardson, director of study
groups, Optometric Extension
program, Duncan, Okla.
Business Meeting
The business meeting con
ducted by the auxiliary result
ed in a re-activation of that
organization. The lapse of ac
tivity was due to the difficulty
in scheduling meetings so that
members from all over south
ern Oregon could attend.
Officers elected were Mrs.
Richard. N elson, president,
Mrs. Robert Urie, secretary
treasurer, and Mrs. T. Win
ston Smith, public relations
chairman.
The May meetings of both
groups have been set for Sun
day, May 25, at the Rogue
Valley Country club in Med
ford, to coincide with the
visit of Dr. Richardson.
