HANDSOME TRIO A handsome trio of taffy colored, mo
lasses flavored frostings. 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."

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.

food cake with chilled sour
cream. Sift brown sugar and
cinnamon over top. Chill

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. Simply spread this mix
ture and broiler-toast for a
minute or two.
1 package white or
yellow cake mix
lit cup unsuipnurea mo
lasses

oblong pan as pictured. Com
bine molasses and butter; heat
unta butter is melted. Stir in
coconut. Remove from heat;
spread over warm cake. Place

three minutes or until coco
nut is brown.
Penuche Frosting

penuche frosting which is per
fect on a spice, chocolate or
white cake made with a mix
or from scratch. Frosting is
smooth and true to its name.

boil two minutes, stirring con
stantly. Remove from heat;
cool. Stir in evaporated milk.
Gradually stir in confection
ers' sugar; beat until thick
enough to spread.
Molasses Taffy Frosting
By simply adding molasses
to the old stand-by seven-minute
frosting, one gains a taffy
flavor and a frosting smooth
and free of sugar crystals.
Recipe makes enough for tops
and sides of two eight or nine
inch cake layers.
1 egg white, unbeaten
cup water
cup sugar
tablespoons unsulphured
molasses

Tuna-Avocado Scramble .
Plentiful bargin-priced tuna
and abundant avocados com
bine in a really exciting bak
ed dish for serving hot as a
satisfying luncheon or supper
specialty of the house. 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.
