A quick butter-coconut molasses frosting gets boiler treatment. A penuche frosting tops a spice cake and seven-minute frosting gives taffy touch to layer cake." Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT - Food Editor Smart Tricks Willi ' . Quick Cake Mixes We're sick and tired of hearing about cakes "as good as Grandma used to make." A few remarkable grandmas made remarkable cakes but today any child with a yen for baking can turn out cakes very superior to those former ly made by the average grand mother. We did say the ave rage grandmother. It's done with mixes in such a galaxy of flavors as to stun Grandmother's imagina tion. ' Grandma made a white cake, a chocolate cake, a devilsfood cake, and an angel food cake. For very special occasions, she piled coconut frosting high on a white cake. Grand-daughter scans the cake mix shelves at the super . market, varies the variety constantly. She chooses from amopg the foregoing standbys plus apple chip, banana, but terscotch, chocolate chip, golden pound, lemon flake, yellow, orange cocoanut, su gar maple, apple spice. Then there's caramel, spice, orange, pineapple, apple sauce, marble, black walnut, chocolate malt, honey spice and orange chiffon cake. Among angelfood cake mixes, there's strawberry, "lemon chip, chocolate chip, cherry, orange, pineapple-lemon and confetti in addition to the tra ditional angelfood. Pudding cake mixes are en joying tremendous popular- ity and on the cake mix shelves, grand-daughter finds lemon, chocolate and orange pudding cakes. Thirty five va rieties right there on one su per's shelves and who knows how many more elsewhere? And please note that we've not even mentioned cookie mixes, pie mixes, frosting mixes and other quick, easy and economical baking de lights. Time and Money , We've always thought that cake baking was a labor of love designed to bring plau dits from the admiring family . as they enjoyed the results. If you know anyone who bakes cakes for any other reason, here are time and money sta tistics. Mixes are definitely time savers. Mixes are defi nitely money savers. But mainly cake mixes are com pliment getters. Mixes are for amateurs as well as for experts since one needs only follow package di rections for good results every time. When it comes to ' "keeping quality", experts give a slight edge to made-from-scratch cakes after six days, but who bakes a cake and lets it stand around for six days? No one we know. More Quick Tricks In addition to the quick trick of making and frosting any of the vast variety of cake mixes for serving with fruit, andor beverage, here are a lew xancy ways wiui them. : Angelfood: Bake angelfood cake according to directions on packaged mix. Let cake cool and remove from pan. Cover top and sides of angel food cake with chilled sour cream. Sift brown sugar and cinnamon over top. Chill until ready to slice and serve. : Applesauce Cake: Cut any favored cake into cubes and add. cubes to chilled apple sauce. Top with - swirls of whipped sweet or sour cream. Tea Cake Special: For quick tea cake, spread day old" cake slices with butter, sprinkle with combination of sugar and cinnamon and shove under broiler for a mo ment until bubbly and brown. Pudding Cake: Prepare any of the many pudding mixes according to directions, cut day-old cake into cubes and add to the pudding while it is still warm. Serve warm or chilled with whipped cream. Molasses Flavor In High Favor For Cake Frosting Molasses, known to the earliest colonists, is also as modern as today's cake mixes. The unsulphured molasses is a mild and delicate sweetener because it is the juice of fully matured sugar cane. In these quick cake frosting recipes, it imparts a fine golden color tone and taffy flavor to cakes that are certain to please the family. Molasses Coconut Chickly achieved, this mo lasses coconut topping is great with white or yellow cake mix.

Four Cuban Doctors, Lawyer Fear Castro's Myopia ' Harrisburg, Pa. -, (Science Service) Several Cuban doc tors are worried .about Dr. Fidel Castro's nearsightedness and its possible effects on the leader's personality, Dr. Rob ert Jay Morrison, an optome trist here, learned on a re cent visit to Cuba. Dr. Morrison told Science Service, "a few of the doctors and a lawyer told me that Castro was quite near sighted but vain and refused to wear glasses. Definite Effect Seen "These doctors and espe cially the lawyer took me aside and told me that thpv felt that because Castro was so nearsighted that it may have had a definite effect on his personality. They implied that he was too vain to wear glasses and wanted to know if I would fit him with con tact lenses. ... "They felt that since I was supposedly-I don't know how this rumor aot around a world authority of contact lenses and nad recently lec tured in Russia as -well as other countries in Europe that he would be glad to have me do this for him. "I think that if I would have been able to arrange my stay to remain in Cuba an other few days, it would have been done." A Little Ashamed Dr. Morrison said there is much nearsightedness (mvn. pia) in Cuba but "most of the men seem to be a little ashamed of their need for glasses. It is very common to see men wearing large sun glasses all dav and all nieht with their prescription in it. "In spite of the darkness at nighttime, they seem to prefer walking around in sun glasses as they feel that it does not appear to the public that they are wearing pre scription lenses. Of course, tn my eyes, it was obvious at once. Dr. Morrison is mirrent.lv engaged In determining the efficiency of contact lenses in not only correcting myopia but in stopping its progres sion. mm m . ima mm m m "mm-mk. eee mm m mm mmmrnm w m m mrs w mwmm.mmmi m m-- mwmw m mm Va 1 2 M BOMB EXPLODES Nicosia, Cyprus (CPB A bomb exploded on Nicosia's "murder mile" Tuesday night when British Colonial Under secretary Julian Amery ar rived for talks with leaders of Greek and Turkish factions on the Cyprus deadlock.
