Baghdad I have finally sight Astonishing
teen a photograph or what
must be a Tigris salmon, and
though I undoubtedly won't
get to see the actual fish on
this trip, Im willing to admit
there probably is such a thing.
The picture showed a cou
ple of Iraqi fishermen with a
monstrous fish slung over the
back of a donkey. It was a
snapshot taken near the town
of Altun Kepri, about 60
miles up the Lesser Zab, a
Tigris tributary. That makes
it about 200 miles or so north
east of here.
The picture looked genuine.
There were no marks of the
publicity fnan about it. Only
the front half of the mon
strous fish was visible. Its
head was salmonlike. The
mouth had a hooked lower
jaw, and the few scales show
ing along the back were dime
size. The story behind the pic
ture is that a river island near
Altun Kepri is famous as a
place for catching these huge
fish, reaching six feet in
length and 300 pounds weight.
The natives stupefy them with
poisoned bait, then net them.
The man who showed me
the picture was sorry he
could offer no other evidence,
but offered to make up for it
by showing me some wild
boar.
We found them some 40
miles or so northwest of the
city, on the edge of a marshy
area bordering some cultivat
ed land. It was nearly sunset.
The pigs they looked much
like our razorbacks except
that they seemed hairier
were rangy, wiry creatures.
We were standing on a long
dike, the remains of one of
the ancient irrigation canals
that crisscross the country as
part of a system built 5,000
years ago. The pigs came up
out of the marsh, crossed the
dike, then trotted off over
gently rising ground to the
drybroken country beyond."
The sight astonished me.
The pig is about as unpopular
an animal as can be found in
a Mohammedan country, and
my guide assured me there
would be more if we went
along a. little farther. In fact,
he seemed to feel the number
of pigs in the country was in
creasing. His reason was that since
the lion was either extermi
nated or driven out of much
of the country about 40 years
ago, the pigs now have only
man to fear. But since Mo
hammedans won't eat pigs and
kill them only when they be
come a nuisance, their num
bers have undergone an in
crease in certain areas.

Feeding the Family
By ZOLA VINCENT
Feed Editor
Green Onions
From earliest recorded time,
onions have been highly es
teemed whether, small, young
and with . green tops or as
matured dried bulbs. They're
popular as a savory morsel
eaten raw with meat, cheese
or fish. Many like to munch
on the tops as well as the
small bulb.
Green onions are good
chopped and folded into cot
tage cheese; thought superla
tive with sour cream on bak
ed potatoes. Put them in any
vegetable or mixed green
salad.
Baked Tomatoes
Now that fresh tomatoes
are bigger and better, firmer
and more flavorful, the fam
ily will enjoy them in this
substantial baked vegetable
dish.
Wash four large tomatoes,
remove stems and cut in half
crosswise. Place cut side up
in baking pan. Sprinkle with
salt, pepper and one-half cup
grated American cheese. Com
bine one cup ready-to-eat high
protein cereal, one-quarter
teaspoon melted butter or
margarine; sprinkle over
cheese. Bake in moderate
oven, 350 degrees, about 25
minutes.
Sweet-Sour Green H
Beans Are a Snap
Plenty of fresh green and
crisp beans for the snapping
and there are no strings at
tached to today's green beans.
Handle them carefully. Plan
to use within day or two after
purchase. Wash snap beans
just before cooking.
For sweet-sour green beans,
cut garden fresh beans into
inch lengths. Place beans in
boiling water; add salt, pep
per, diced onion, nutmeg and
bay leaf to water. Simmer
until beans are tender. Drain,
saving liquid, set beans aside.
To cooking liquid add su
gar, vinegar and whole cloves,
bring to boil; cook until
liquid is reduced to one half.
Add butter, stir in beans, heat
thoroughly. Arrange in serv
ing dish and garnish with
sweet onion rings.
Baked Ham Today
Casserole Tomorrow
With a recipe as good as this
one handy for "finishing up
the ham", plan two days of
good eating and maybe even
a few ham sandwiches. Here
Vz cups coarsely ground
cooked ham will make six
servings.
VA cups coarsely ground
cooked ham
2 tablespoons minced' onion
3 hard-cooked eggs
2 cups cooked noodles
(4 ounces uncooked)
.VA cups thin white sauce
or cream of celery soup

Vi pound grated cheddar
cheese
i cup crushed potato chips
or corn chips
Dice the cheese and melt it
in the white sauce or celery
soup over low heat. In a
greased casserole, place layers
of ham" noodles, sliced eggs
and onions. Pour sauce over
all, lifting up layers around
the edges to let sauce run
through.
Cover with crushed potato
or corn chips or top with fine
bread crumbs mixed with a
little melted butter or mar
garine. Bake at 350 degrees
for 30 minutes.
Deviled Scallops
Morsels of Goodness
Plenty of scallops available
at extremely reasonable
prices. Because they are mar
keted in the form of dressed
meat, most people are un
aware that they are a shell
fish with two shells, somewhat
similar to the . clam. The
muscle is the only part of the
scallop sold here.
Chop one pound scallops.
Cook one clove chipped garlic
in two tablespoons butter un
til tender. Blend in two table
spoons flour, one - half tea
spoon dry mustard, two tea
spoons horseradish, one - half
teaspoon celery salt, ' two
tablespoons chopped parsley,
one tablespoon lemon juice,
dash of pepper.
Add scallops and cook four
to five minutes, stirring con
stantly. Place in six well
greased individual shells,
ramekins or custard cups.
Combine 2 tablespoons butter
(melted) and one-half cup soft
bread crumbs; sprinkle over
each container. Bake in mod
erate oven, 350 degrees, 15 to
20 minutes or until brown.
Plenty of lemon on the side.
Peaches, Green Apples
August Abundants
Best buys among the many
August abundants include
plenty of peaches as we revel
in the biggest peach crop in
11 years. Plenty of vanilla ice
cream to go with those
peaches, too! Harvest of the
over-size nectarine crop con
tinues. Gravenstein apples, the
crisp tart apple that made
apple pie famous; wonderful
for fresh apple sauce; ideal
for eating out-of-hand and for
baked desserts.
Watermelons and canta
loupes are bargains in good
eating with watermelons piled
high and priced whole in
many places. August is peak
month for honeydews and
Persian melons are increasing
in supply for chilling and off
ering with lemon and lime
wedges.
Potatoes are especially plen
tiful; of excellent quality; in
creasingly popular for foil
wrapping and baking both in
doors and outdoors. Scrub the
bakers, prick twice with a
two-tined fork to prevent "ex
plosions"; rub generously with
butter or margarine; wrap
tightly in aluminum foil. Place
wrapped bakers in hot coals
45 minutes to an hour before
baking time. Oven baking
takes about the same time.
Serve with chived sour cream,
plenty of butter or a creamy
cheese sauce.
Other August vegetable
plentif uls include green
beans, carrots, celery, corn,
cucumbers, onions, bunched
vegetables, squash, green pep
pers, peas, eggplant. Tomatoes
are of superb quality. Lettuce
and romaine heads were never
handsomer nor better buys
than right now.
Poultry and Meat. Chickens
and turkeys continue to give
us the most for our money,
compare favorably even with
hamburger and frankfurters.
Beef prices are lower and
week-end ads are likely to re
veal some very good buys.
Hams and picnics are best
pork buys. Eggs continue to be
one of our very best buys,
price-wise and protein-wise.
Dairy Products Plentiful.
Ice cream is a genuine dessert
bargain; will delight the chil
dren when scooped into a
glass then topped with root
beer, cola or any of the
flavored carbonated bever
ages. Serve with straws for
sipping, spoons for spooning.
Cheddar cheese is a bargain
when used for main dish of a
meal. Keep plenty of cottage
cheese on hand.
