Potatoes Enjoy Exalted
Position Among Vegetables
Nothing lowly about pota
toes! Tops in the vegetable
world, potatoes are packed
with good nutrition, are a
"best buy" vegetable the year
'round, can be prepared in
ways beyond numbering. Our
California Long Whites enjoy
the further distinction of be
ing good bakers, good cook
ers, good fryers.
Although Long White po
tatoes are novf available
throughout the year, harvest
begins in April and extends
.through August, peaking in
mid-June. A long, light beige
colored potato with a smooth
thin skin and very shallow
eyes, it is further noted for
fresh taste, light texture and
an extremely small amount of
waste. '
New Potatoes
Wash lVb pounds small new
potatoes and cook in jackets
in boiling salted water to
cover until tender, 15 to 20
minutes; peel. Pour one quar
ter cup melted butter over
and season with salt and pep
per. Many like to add juice of
one half lemon to the butter.
Six servings.
Variations. Roll boiled, but
tered potatoes in two table
spoons minced chives ... in
one third cup finely chopped
mint leaves ... in one third
cup chopped parsley. Or
sprinkle boiled, buttered po
tatoes with paprika.
Creamed Potatoes. New po
tatoes are highly regarded
when served in a rich creamy
sauce with cooked new peas
or cooked tiny onions added.
They may be enlivened with
flecks of red pimiento andor
green pepper.
Stuff California Potatoes
With Maine Sardines
Maine and California have
a great deal in common. For
instance, California grows
more potatoes than any state
except Maine. California and
Maine stand alone in U.S. pro
duction of sardines; each tak
ing pride in their own dis
tinctive varieties.
. There's a world of differ
ence In sardines, you know.
Maine sardines are members
of the herring family; are
packed in oil, in a tangy mus
tard sauce and in tomato
sauce; almost always packed
in 3V4 or 4-ounce cans. Cali
fornia sardines are pilchards
which are much larger and
are generally packed in to
mato sauce in oval 12 or 16-
ounce cans.
Recipes developed for one
should not be used inter
changeably because of the ex
treme difference in sardine
size. The large Californias are
delightful on a salad plate but
would look absurd if balanced
on a cracker.
We stuff our good long
white potatoes with the smal
ler sardines from Maine. For
each four servings:
4 medium baking potatoes
Salad oil
1 can (4 ounces) Maine
Vi cup milk
Ji teaspoon salt
Butter
Paprika
Wash and dry potatoes. Rub
each with salad oil or bacon
fat. Place on baking sheet.
Bake in hot oven, 450 de
grees, 45 to 60 minutes or un
til tender. Immediately cut
slice from top of each. Scoop
out potatoes and mash well.
Add sardines, milk and salt
mixing well but lightly. Pile
high into potato shells. Dot
with butter; dust with pap-

rika. Return potatoes to oven
to lightly brown.
Variations. Add one can
(four ounces) Maine sardines,
one half teaspoon salt, one
teaspoon grated onion and
one quarter cup milk to
mashed potato; mix well. Pile
into potato shells and return
to oven until lightly browned.
Serve with generous spoonful
of sour cream and a sprink
ling of chopped parsley. Or
add one container (five or six
ounces) processed cheese to
mashed and seasoned potatoes
and proceed as above.
Tomato Tempters
Tomatoes are increasing in
supply, their quality is better
and their prices are lower.
Figure on two pounds for four
servings. Keep them covered
and refrigerated. Peel or not,
as you like.
Slewed Tomatoes. Takes no
longer than 10 minutes. Cut
tomatoes in quarters, simmer
gently, covered. Use no water
Season with minced onion,
instant onion flakes, or chop
ped chives; add salt and pep
per, butter or margarine.
Broil or Bake. Cut ripe to
matoes in halves, crosswise,
brush with melted butter and
sprinkle with fine bread
crumbs, grated cheese or both,
plus salt and pepper. Place in
pan three or four inches from
broiler and broil about 10
minutes or until thoroughly
heated through, nicely brown
on top. To bake, treat toma
toes the same way but bake
at 375 degrees, 25-30 minutes
Epicurean Broil. Cover to
mato halves with Roquefort
or blue cheese, sprinkle with
crumbs and paprika and broil
slowly or bake as above.
Summer Squash Specials
We have with us, in good
supply, several squash vari
eties: dark green Zucchini or
Italian squash, yellow straight
neck and crookneck squash,
white pattypan or scalloped
squash. Buy two pounds for
six servings. Wash but do not
pare. Remove stem and blos
som ends cut into one half
inch slices or cubes.
Cook Squash. Cook covered,
in a very small amount of
boiling salted water or tomato
juice until barely tender; 10
or 12 minutes. Serve hot seas
oned with salt, pepper, butter
or margarine. Maybe a dash
of favored herb, onion, garlic,
diced tomatoes, lemon juice or
a bit of French dressing.
Fry Squash. Wash any ten
der skinned squash; slice one
half inch thick or halve it
lengthwise. Dip into a beaten
egg diluted with one table
spoon milk or water, then in
to fine bread . or cracker
crumbs. Pan-fry in bacon
drippings or salad oil until
golden brown on both sides,
soft in center. ' Season with
salt and pepper.
Simple Ways With
Variety of Souffles ,
Plentful, bargain,- priced
eggs of excellent quality en
courage us to make high and
handsome souffles. Many
think souffles a bit too tricky
and time-consuming for fre
quent menu use but we offer
a new, simple, practically
guaranteed method that uses
mayonnaise.
The basic recipe can be
widely varied.. Almost any
cheese, fish, meat, vegetable
or other flavor ingredient
which can "be ground, flaked, i
mashed or finely chopped can
go into this. Note particularly
that one folds the mayonnaise
mixture into the beaten egg
whites not the other way
round. Four generous serv
ings.
4 tablespoons flour
V4 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
Vz cup real mayonnaise
4 tablespoons milk
1 TVfc-ounce can minced
clams, drained
1V4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated onion
4 egg whites
Gently stir flour, salt and
pepper into real mayonnaise.
Beating or over-mixing will
cause curdling but will not
affect final product. Add milk
slowly. Stir in clams, lemon
juice and onion. Beat egg
whites until stiff. Gently fold
mayonnaise mixture into egg
whites until thoroughly blend
ed. Pour into a greased seven
inch casserole and bake in a
slow oven, 325 degrees, 40 to
45 minutes. Serve at once.
Other Combinations
- Instead of the minced
clams, add one cup ground
ham: or luncheon meat, dash
of dry mustard, one quarter
cup grated cheese. Or one cup

Arms Must Not Be
Continued Arbiter
Of Human. Disputes
New York (Science Service)
-The ability of the inherited;
institutions of our civilization
to make proper decisions on
uses of the unprecedented
new instruments of warfare,
like atomic energy, was call
ed in question by Dr. Robert
Oppenheimer, atomic energy
pioneer and directoriof the In-,
stitute for Advanced Study,
Princeton, N. J., in a sym
posium on basic research
here. Arms must not continue
to be the last arbiter of dis
putes, he said. ;
"If we do not treasure the
great inheritance on which
all our work and life are
based, ' and understand the
well - drained whole kernel
corn, dash of curry powder,
three slices bacon, crumbled:
Or one cup minced chicken,
two' tablespoons chopped pars
ley, dash of nutmeg.
radical novelty and the grav
ity of the situation in which
we find ourselves," he warn
ed, "there will be few of our
children to ask again of the
need for new knowledge."
Research Need Told
Dr. Oppenheimer and other
speakers urged the need of
continued basic research, or
inquiry directed not primar
ily to a practical result but
to the obtaining of new
knowledge.
No laboratory should be so
directed to its ' practical mis
sions that it cannot afford
perhaps a sixth or a fifth of
work that is on the face of it
unrelated to its purposes, Dr.
Oppenheimer said.
The great lesson of the past
atomic decades has been, he
observed from his direction of
atomic bomb research, that
men of science who have
I, spent their whole lives in the
qaest of new knowledge mayl
be among the most gifted
practitioners of technology.'
Public Recognition
Dr. Alan T. Waterman, di
rector of the National Science
Foundation, Washington, de
clared that for continued
growth in scientific research
and technology and for reali
zation of the full potential in
basic research, there must be
widespread public recognition
and appreciation of the im-'
portance of intellectual and
scholarly activity.
Dr. W. O. Baker, vice presi
dent, Bell Telephone Labora
tories, advocated transference
to practice in mathematical
reasoning a fraction of the
time given to learning of
physical skills which are of
diminishing importance.
