about Bing Crosbys new
baby, the spirit of the occasion
was one of optimism as well
as respect and best wishes
DeMille, who was hospital
ized for a month last June
with a circulatory condition.
was 77 on Aug. 12, and more
than 100 Hollywood personali
ties and industry friends at
tended a luncheon in his hon

him with a unanimously-
adoptedTesolution which pro
claimed the date as "Cecil B,
DeMille Day."

odd years in the business
"And we've left 20 blank
pages in the book, Cecil,'
Freeman said, his voice heavy
with significance.
Freeman also noted that
some 4 billion people had
seen DeMille pictures and
drew the conclusion that he
had had the "deepest influ
ence possible on the minds of
the people of the world.
Another film pioneer, Sam
uel Goldwyn, was on hand to
pay tribute to DeMille, and

Danny Kaye told DeMille
he would like to make a pic
ture with him "which would
go around the world," calling
the motion picture industry

tures in particular "the most
powerful weapon" the U.S.
has to depict America as it is.
As for the guest of honor,
he was thankful "to have been
allowed to blaze (a trail that
has produced the first world
theater."
"The great reward I have
is not what I have amassed in
worldly things. I have amassed
a friendship from every coun
try, every people, in the
world."

Try Fish Barbecue
It doesn't matter whether
father andor the boys caifght
or bought the fish, they'll be
very good barbecued for a
change.
Small whole fish will bar
becue in 10 to 15 minutes in
a well oiled spit basket or
wire toasting rack. Baste dur
ing cooking with lemon-parsley
butter. Season with salt
ajid pepper just before serv
ing. To barbecue fish fillets,
place them skin-side down on
grill. Brush frequently with
herb-seasoned butter (butter,
lemon juice and marjoram)
and barbecue without turning
about 10 minutes. Season with
salt and pepper just before
serving.
If fish weighs 3 pounds or
more, use the barbecue spit.
Close fish cavity with skewers
or lace it with string. Place
fish on spit and brush fre
quently with lemon-parsley-butter..
Fish will be done in
20 to 40 minutes depending on
size of fish, heat of fire, dis
tance from charcoal. Season
with salt and pepper just be
fore serving.,
Long Time Favorite
If you've not had a Swiss
steak recently, this is a re
minder that you're missing
something especially 'flavor
packed. Six servings and
every smidgen will be rel
ished. 2 tablespoons flour'
2 teaspoons salt
Vi teaspoon pepper
2 pounds round steak, cut
thick
2 tablespoons shortening
1 can stewed tomatoes
2 teaspoons Worcestershire
.sauce
1 bay leaf
V teaspoon thyme
Mix flour, salt and pepper.
Pound flour mixture into both
sides of meat. Brown meat
in shortening in heavy skillet.
Add stewed tomatoes and re
maining ingredients. Bring to
simmer; cover and cook in
oven at 350 degrees for one
hour.
Salmon Salad Boats
Canned salmon is a joy for
quick meals: easy to fix and
economical when you consider
that there's no waste. The
salmon canning industry gives
the salmon extra processing
to make the bones soft and
edible. Eating the tender
bones insures extra calcium.
Serve canned salmon plam
with salad greens, a generous
lemon wedge, with mayon
naise, with grapefruit sections
. or like this for a deluxe
salad.
6 cucumbers, tomatoes or
avocado halves
Salad greens
1 tall can salmon, flaked
Vi cup finely diced celery
1 cup cooked peas '
i cup chopped green
onion
2 chopped hard-cooked eggs
Mayonnaise
Cut a slice the long way
from each cucumber, remove
seeds and make cucumbers
into boats. Or halve tomatoes,
scoop out centers and add to
salad mixture. Or use avocado
halves. Arrange boat on beds
of greens.
Combine remaining ingre
dients, handling gently, bind
ing them with mayonnaise;
fill the boats generously.
Springle half-and-half with
finely chopped parsely or
chives and paprika or finely
chopped pimiento. Or perhaps
you'd like to top them, with
stuffed olive slices.
Peaches, Cheese '
Luscious fresh peaches,
plentiful - and reasonable in
price, combine ideally with
cottage cheese in a luncheon
or supper dish of unusual
flavor blends when fixed like
this: f
Dip fresh peach slices in
fresh lime juice before serv
ing. This will keep them from
darkening, give distinctive
flavor. Arrange peach slices
and cottage cheese mounds on
salad greens. Dress with a
combination of Vi cup sour
cream, cup honey and one
teaspoon lime or lemon juice.
Treat to Eat
Breast of lamb is probably
the biggest bargain in the
meat market today. It is won
derfully good just seasoned
and braised in the oven. It
also js very good like this:

of lamb
1 quart boiling water
1 tablespoon dill seeds
2 teaspoons salt
10 whole black peppercorns

stew. Add boiling water, dill
seeds, salt and peppercorns.

ually, stirring constantly un
til sauce thickens. Add two

egg yolks slightly. Pour some
of hot sauce into egg yolk
mixture. Mix well and add to
remainder of sauce. Cook two

sensationally god lunch or
supper salad meal needing
only a hot bread, 'fruit and
chilled beverage for summer
satisfaction. For each four
servings: .

salad bowl. Crumble J4 cup
blue cheese arid two slices
crisply cooked, crumbled ba
con over lettuce. Toss salad
with portion of the dressing.

Food Budget
The average American
spends more on food than any
other single item in the bud
get. In 1956, food and tobacco
made up 32 per cent of the
total expenditures. And that
reminds us that you may not
be spending as much to feed
your family as you think, if
you base your estimate on
money spent at the grocery
store. How about those ciga
rette cartons? How about the
items in the "liquid refresh
ments" department? Those
cleaning brushes and cooking
utensils? That magazine and
the toy for Junior?
We challenge ; ou to try this
for a month or two! Be fair to
your food budget; To get an
accurate figure on what it
cost your family to eat, you
may have to subtract a lot of
items as indicated above.
When you check your pur
chases against your cash regisr
ter stubs, mafk through all
non-food purchases. And be
surprised! The total amount
of money spent only for food
may be very encouraging.
