A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ortgen. Thursday, May 8, 193S Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Buys in Canned Fruits Male Delectable Desserts Canned fruits fortunately re exceptionally good buys right now as we get hungry for golden peaches, pears, ap ricots while watching the blossoming orchards and an ticipating summer's golden bounty of fresh fruits to come. There's also an abundance of canned pineapple, fruit cocktail, apple sauce, apple slices, cherries, berries and cranberry sauce. You'll find specials galore. Few things are more satisfying than extra cans of a variety of dessert makings on the pantry shelf. - To be sure most of these good things will be eaten "as is", served in our prettiest des sert dishes with cookies or cake alongside but if it's some thing fancier you're looking for, here are several good sug gestions after a brief disserta tion on butter and margarine. Butler and Margarine When it comes to dessert making ingredients, butter and margarine vie for "short ening" honors. The dairy in dustry has forever been im portant in the economy of our state. The making of margar ine (pronounced mar-jar-in) is increasingly done on our coast for shipping throughout the western states. Actually mar garine has been around for more than 75 years. The basic difference be tween butter and margarine is that margarine is made prin cipally out of domestic vege 0 table fats while butter is made from animal fat. Some mar garines combine processed vegetable oil, creamery butter andor flavorful milk in their blend. All are equally nutri tious, can be used interchange ably. Golden Fruil Crumble You're sure to have good luck with this fruit "crum ble". Youngsters will enjoy making it because it is cer tain to come out perfect every time. Plan one for the Moth er's Day weekend ahead.. Make this with golden peach halves, pear halves, apricots or pineapple slices or arrange a fancy combination of fruits if you like. Six servings. Drain syrup from a No. 2V2 can of peach halves or other fruit and arrange in greased eight inch round or compar able size baking dish two inches or so deep. Mix three quarter cup sifted all-purpose flour, one - quarter teaspoon alt, one-half cup brown sugar, packed and one - quarter tea spoon nutmeg in mixing bowl. Cut in one-third cup margar- BEWARE or miTATlOHS LOOK FOR THE HAPPY unit roo TOPS IN QUALITY! LV IN PRICE ISAYWATSONAMorWrW MISSING mn.Tiuc ine with fork until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over fruit. Bake in moderate, 375 degree, oven, 35 to 40 minutes. Simmer fruit syrup with three lemon slices and six whole cloves for 10 minutes; strain. Serve hot with the Crumble. Golden Slate Cobbler ' Plenty of coast - canned peaches and Bartlett pears for enjoying in salads, as accom paniment for meat, for eating as dessert with snappy cheese and crackers. Or make this fine cobbler. Drain one No. 2V4 can peach or pear halves and re serve two - thirds cup juice. Place fruit in shallow 10x6x 14 inch or comparable size baking dish, cut side up. Com bine fruit juice, one-third cup fresh or canned unsweetened orange juice, one-quarter cup brown sugar, one tablespoon cornstarch, dash of salt and pour over fruit. Place in a hot oven, 425 degrees, for five minutes. Combine one tablespoon sugar and one cup prepared biscuit mix (your own recipe or a packaged mix) and add six tablespoons undiluted evaporated milk to make a soft dough. Drop in six spoon fuls on top of fruit. Bake 15 to 20 minutes longer at 425 degrees or until biscuits are browned. Serve "as is" or warm with heavy whipped cream with two tablespoons sugar added. Six servings. Fruit Compote. Start off any meal with a fruit com pote. Slice canned pear halves lengthwise. Add salad - style fruit cocktail, sliced bananas, orange and''or grapefruit seg ments or any other fresh or canned fruit available in fruit basket o.- pantry. Chill and serve. Chicken Oriental Is Mother's Day Special Chickens continue in the best buys list for frequent en joyment. Fix them up this very special way as a treat for Mother on her special day. Plan to do two batches in or der to have eight servings; three batches for 12 servings. Have good size frying chick ens cut into serving size pieces and shake in a paper bag con taining one-half cup flour, two teaspoons powdered ginger, one teaspoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper. In a skillet, brown floured chicken in one- quarter cup hot shortening. Remove chicken to casserole. Now comes the oriental in fluence. Mix two tablespoons seasoned flour with one cup water until smooth; add to drippings in skillet along with one - quarter cup pineapple syrup (drained from canned pineapple), two tablespoons vinegar, one tablespoon brown sugar, one - quarter teaspoon powdered garlic or one-half teaspoon garlic salt, 1V cups (a No. 2 can) drained pine apple chunks, one onion cut in half crosswise, then in eighths, one green pepper cut in one inch thin strips (pepper optional but nice). Bring just to boiling point. Pour over chicken in casser ole; cover and bake at 325 de grees about 45 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice. As we said, four servings and we hope you're making several batches. Make Mother a Strawberry Cream Angel Food Cake Strawberries are coming in at their luscious best; are ideal for Mother's Day parties. vm ! rAM'T (fx 'A: .

Any youngster can put it together quickly and surprise Mother with a week end dessert. It's good with pineapple, too. Recipe is included in today's food columns. Bake or buy an angelfood cake. Fill cake center with this mixture, then refrigerate quickly. Wash and hull one pint or more fresh strawberries; add four tablespoons or more powdered sugar and one-half teaspoon almond extract. Beat one pint (two cups) whipping cream until stiff. Gently fold in the sugared strawberries. Ice sides of the cake lightly and fill cake center with re maining strawberry cream. Refrigerate in coldest spot or put in home "freezer for an hour or so, so the berries and cream will not soak into the cake. Mother's Day Brunch Is Wonderful Idea If Mother (yours or some one else whom you also love) is a church-goer perhaps she'd dearly love to ask the minister and his wife and other special friends to come past your house for what this generation calls a Brunch. An ideal op portunity to honor mother on her very own day; giving the family a happy feeling of solidarity. Our menu suggestion is equally good for supper time. Let the children help. Consider pitchers of chilled fruit juice or pass fruit juice glasses with sliced strawber ries floating. If it is a small sit-down affair, broiled grape fruit or strawberries in sour cream are very nice. Easiest and most satisfac tory main dish food is curried turkey or chicken or fluffy rice with small dishes offering choices of chutney, chopped cucumbers, chopped peanuts, diced hard - cooked eggs (ar range with egg whites and yolks done separately), rais ins, grated coconut. Hot rolls and plenty of coffee. A day and a meal to remember! Curried Turkey or Chicken. Roast turkey or chicken the day before. For each six serv ings, proceed as follows. Melt three tablespoons butter, add four tablespoons flour and stir over low heat until blended. Add one cup cold turkey or chicken broth and one . cup milk all at once. Cook stirring constantly until uniformly rTibLMESiMY BOY, IF Y0U'RfT NOT DRINKING- BOYD'S fcQMETHINGOOD ELEMENTARY MY DEAR 7 WATCDN I 5- , -XV V 3? thickened. Then set over hot water. Add one-half teaspoon salt, one - half teaspoon paprika, one - eighth teaspoon pepper,, one teaspoon finely grated onion, IV2 teaspoons curry powder and IV2 cups diced cooked turkey or chicken and heat thoroughly. Many like to add one-half cup grated fresh coconut or finely shredded canned coconut to the. hot mixture instead of offering it separately. Add more seasonings if de sired. Blend in two table spoons sherry wine if you like, just before serving. Herbed Tomatoes. Mid-westerners have liked canned to matoes fixed like this for gen erations. Drain a No. 2Vz can tomatoes. Melt one table spoon butter in saucepan; add two tablespoons flour and blend. Gradually stir in to mato juice. Cook stirring con stantly until smooth and thickened. Add tomatoes, one half teaspoon each basil or marjoram and sugar, salt, pepper. Simmer five minutes. Women in Turkey have been given the right to sit in Parliament since 1934. SOUTH Book Editors Pick Gunther's 'Inside Russia' as Best Each year the editors ofl "The Saturday Review of Literature" ask book editors of the country's leading news papers to name those books published "during the spring which most deserve the atten tion of discriminating read ers.

In second place is. "Exile and the Kingdom," by Albert Camus, the Nobel Prize winner's collection of short stories threaded to gether by the dominant theme of man's essential solitude. "The Great Democracies," fourth volume of Winston S. Churchill's masive history of the English-speaking . peoples, ranked third. Humorist in Fourth .Peter De Vries. one of America's widest and wittiest humorists, achieved fourth place with his hilarious novel about a well-intentioned min ister, "The Mackerel Plaza.'
