Meals on Jet Airliners

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.

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.

Planning of Family
Studied by Office of
Population Research
Ann Arbor, Mich. - (UPD -Couples
with two children of
the same sex are more apt to
want a third child than
couples who have a boy and
a girl, according to a college
study.
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."
