Meals on Jet Airliners Continue for 1,800 Miles Br JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York - (CPD - Come, Mary Jane, in my jet aero plane. And up we'll go, up we'll go. . . . To eat a dinner so leisurely that you'll be halfway to Europe by the time it ends. Dining is the jet age para dox. Faster, vibration - free planes will cut trans-Atlantic flying time to 7 hours or less. They will also give new sig nificance to the custom of elegant dining at a relaxed pace. Pan American. World Airways demonstrated in a preview of its flight service on Boeing 707 jet clippers. With nothing to do but eat, sleep or read, passengers are expected to concentrate on eating, PAA officials said. They estimate the hors d'oeuvre-to-dessert time at 3Vz hours and 1,800 miles, appe tites and waistlines permit ting. Passengers traveling deluxe class can eat canapes with cocktails over Boston, soup or shrimp cocktail as they pass Nova Scotia, partridge over Newfoundland, and dessert somewhere off the southern coast of Greenland. Electro-Ray Oven Partridge is by no means compulsory. If your tastes are simpler, steak or rare roast beef are done to order on a new electro - ray oven de veloped especially for the air line. Electric coils radiating heat through quartz crystal plates can cook 16 steaks in 17 minutes, or a five-pound roast beef in 17 minutes. The oven, measuring 9 by 15 by 30 inches, also 'can turn out 42 meals in a few minutes in frozen, pre - cooked aluminum trays. Most elaborate dishes are prepared in advance in earth bound flight kitchens, includ ing one at New York's Idle wild airport, with a storage freezer that will hold 140,000 meals. Food is served, not on the standard plastic dishes, but on fine china, accompanied by wipes in crystal stemware. Breakable dinnerware is expected to create no prob lems aboard the jets. Pan American officials said, be cause the big ships are vir tually vibration-free and will fly far above turbulent weath er. Typical Menu A typical menu for deluxe passengers features 7 entrees, ranging from grilled sword fish and steak, roast beef or lamb chops, to lobster thermi dor, sweetbreads, partridge, and Rock Cornish hens. Economy class passengers will dine more modestly, on "convertible" sandwiches that are a meal in themselves. Tucked beneath each full-size European style open - face sandwich is a second slice of bread for those who want to eat American-style. The aver age selection includes four combinations of meat, cheese, lAuxiliary to Pack Christmas Basket Members of the American Legion auxiliary will pack a Christmas basket at a meet ing set for Tuesday, Decem ber 9, at 8 p.m. at the Legion hall, 533 Edwards street. Members are asked to take canned or other food and toys. Mrs. Arthur Midland, Grants Pass, president of the 13th district, will be a guest of the auxiliary. This will be the last meet ing of the current year. Avocado Dressing Mashed avocado adds a de lightful flavor to salad dress ings: Prepare your favoritq French dressing and just be fore you're ready to dress the salad combine equal parts dressing and mashed avocado. Crumbled bacon or chopped anchovies add a hearty and distinctive touch if you want to experiment with flavor variations. YES, i Still Do ...

No Hamburger If none of the ready-makes suit your palate, a "grocery box" filled with extras offers such mundane items as a pea nut butter sandwich. But no hamburgers or hot dogs. "We tried including them in the days before jet travel," an airline spokesman said, "but the demand was so limit ed that we didn't even con sider them for jet service." How does an airline, which needs 2,117 individual food portions for just one jet flight with 101 passengers, antici pate the customers wants? "That's easy," an airline of ficial said. Ninety per cent of the American passengers prefer steaks. Surveys and ex perience help meet other de mands. Eventual lowering of jet fares is expected to be closely linked with foods costs, Pan American predicted. Increased automation in the kitchen will do the trick, with ma chines that can prepare food in advance for freezing and storage to meet heavy and light traffic demands as they occur.

The study, revealed at the University of Michigan, was made at Princeton University under the direction of Charles F. Westoff, of the Office of Population Research. Westoff, in a speech here, revealed the study showed the desire or a third child ap parently was more frequent when both children were girls. Few married couples decide on an "ideal" number of chil dren and proceed to- have them in a systematic manner, he said. "Undoubtedly, there are couples who formulate a family-size goal early in mar riage and proceed to achieve that goal in a systematic man ner," he added. "But such couples are probably the ex ception. "The more typical case Is the couple who has some gen eral notion, for example, that they'd like at least two chil dren and possibly another, de pending perhaps on the sex of the first two or on their financial circumstances at the time." 4 Easy Sauce Here's any easy horseradish sauce to serve with holiday meats. Combine a tablespoon prepared horseradish and 2 teaspoons instant minced onion with V cup whipping cream beaten until stiff. Add sugar and salt to taste, chop ped parsley cr pimiento if you wish a more festive look.
