These are then placed on a
plate where bacteria organ

incubation period, there is no
bacteria growth in a halo-like
area around the disks, it is
assumed that an antibiotic or
cleaning compound is present
in the milk.

Feeding the Family
WINTER FANTASY - Medford residents took a second look
this week as they drove past the P. F. Brainerd residence
Monday morning at 226 Valley View dr. As the temperature
dipped to 20 degrees during the night a frozen valve started
the sprinkling system in the flower garden. Traffic jammed
the circular drive at the residence during the morning as
the sun transformed the crystals of ice into showers of glit
tering rhinestones. A closeup of one of the branches from
the row of trees coated with ice is at left. Adding to the
color of the display was the lavender of the blooming heath
er which could be seen through the ice. No damage to the
trees or plants was reported. (Photos by Kenn Knackstedt)
The Family Council
Editor's Note: Th Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist,
three clergymen, a newspaper editor, a women's editor and two writers.
Each article is a summary of an actual rase bistory. The Council reports
on problems that have been dealt wl b by responsible agencies and
connselors.
Muriel S. -
My mother-in-
law had no right to interfere.
Louis S. Muriel should
apologize.
Muriel S. - My husband and
I have been married nine
years and have four children.
Our main problems are finan
cial and in-law.
Throughout our married
life my mother-in-law has had
to help us. Tins she is well
able to do since my husband
is an only child and she was
left a comfortable income by
her husband. However, her
help hasn't been enough and
we are in debt.
My mother-in-law has al
ways been very critical of me.
Recently she came to our
house and told me she thought
I had spent too much on this,
that and the other thing. I
am not extravagant and have
n't bought a decent dress for
myself in two years. I told
my mother-in-law she had no
right to interfere in our lives.
Now my husband is furious at
me.
e
Louis S. - It's all very well
for Muriel to talk about Moth
er's being able to help us, but
the fact is she didn't have to.
She only did it because she
wanted to see us live a little
better.
However, Muriel did put
away some of the money and
then bought expensive draper
ies and lamps we could do
without. Mother says the
things Muriel bought are ugly
and won't last a year - not
with our kids tearing the
place apart. Mother was right
about that and Muriel had no
right to tell her off.
Mother says we won't see
another cent until Muriel
apologizes and I want her to
do just that. Mother has been
too good to us to get that
kind of treatment from
MurieL
The Council: Just about
everything is wrong with this
setup.
Louis should not have been
taking handouts from his
mother. His mother should
riot have given them, but hav
ing given them should not
have attempted to supervise
the spending of the money,
and Muriel should not have
"told off" her mother-in-law.
Louis should recognize that
as long as he doesn't fully
support his family, taking in
stride whatever debt he is
forced to assume, he cannot
really be the man of the fam
ily. His mother's handouts
undermine him psychological
ly. If he knew that his family
could only count on his own
earnings he would make the
effort to improve his income -and
would probably succeed.
Louis should also recognize
that although his mother may
be what he considers well
able to help him, the money
she gives him represents to
her an emotionally unhealthy
bond. She reveals this when
she criticizes his wife's spend
ing. She puts herself in a
supervisory position in his
family. She could undoubted
ly use this money to better
purpose by doing something
to enjoy her own life.
Muriel should recognize
that it is her job to help Louis
be the kind of husband and
father he ought to be. She
should not have permitted
him to accept the handouts.
She should make it her busi
ness to get along on her hus
band's income and should help
him steer clear of debt. Be
yond that, she owes her mother-in-law
respect and should
not have let things come to
the point where she had to
talk back in a nasty way.
Parents can sometimes help
married children without bad
effects if the children are ex
tremely mature and self-reliant
and the parents truly
have no desire to hold on to
the child emotionally. Such
p e r f e c tion of character is
rare.

Quick Fish Sticks Prove
Lenten Season Specialty
Fish sticks are jumping out
of frozen food packages into
the frying pan and the baking
dish at an increasing rate of
speed as Americans consume
61 million pounds of them a
year. The Lenten season will
accelerate their popularity,
These pre-cooked, frozen
sticks come mostly in 10 ounce
packages of ten one-ounce fish
sticks though a few packers
put them 6, 8, 12 or 16 to a
package.
Crispy and hot in a matter
of 12 to 17 minutes, package
directions are easy to follow,
Frequency of use inspired Na
tional Fisheries Institute to
come up with variations that
are likely to hike the trend
even faster. We present our
favorite variations here.
Prepare fish sticks accord
ing to package directions for
baking, then experiment with
these flavorful suggestions.
Cheesed Fish Sticks. Sprin
kle the fish sticks with grated
cheese, either the dry grated
cheese that comes in shaker
cans or any freshly grated
cheese. .
Herbed Fish Sticks. Sprin
kle fish sticks with either of
these mixtures: 1) dried
thyme, marjoram and ore-
gano; 2) dried parsely, celery
flakes and poultry seasoning,
Deviled Fish Sticks. Spread
fish sticks with chili sauce or
with horseradish and catsup,
Spicy Fish Steaks. Sprinkle
fish sticks with dried mint
flakes and nutmeg.
Curried Fish Sticks. Our
family favorite. Spread sticks
lightly with mixture of may
onnaise and sour cream with
touch of curry powder added
Fish Stick Dinner
On a large baking sheet ar
range one package frozen fish
sticks for each four servings.
They need no further prepara
tion. Scoop out centers of to
matoes, season with salt and
pepper. Bake in hot oven, 425
degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. Fill
tomato centers with minted
peas (fresh, frozen or canned)
that have been simmered
briefly with butter and chop
ped mint.
Chicken-Fried Halibut
Our west coast halibut has
long been famed for its firm
white meat and delightful
non-fishy flavor. Consumers
favor halibut steaks or fillets
which are available fresh or
frozen the year 'round. Frozen
steaks or fillets may be cook
ed without thawing if addi
tional time is allowed. If you
prefer to thaw them for stuff
ing or other reason, it is best
to thaw them overnight m the
refrigerator. Recipe for six
servings.
2 pounds halibut steaks
V2 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
1 tablespoon water
Cut steaks into serving size
portions and roll in flour sea
soned with salt and pepper.
Place fish in a heavy frying
pan which contains about one-
eighth inch of fat, hot but not
smoking. Fry at moderate
heat.
When fish is brown on one
side, turn carefully and brown
the other side. Cooking time,
approximately 10 minutes de
pending on thickness of fish
Add water, cover and simmer
for five minutes. Remove fish
to a hot platter; pour pan
gravy over.
Plenty of lemon wedges on
the side.
Prune Juice Combos
Prune juice is delicious as
it comes from the bottle. It
is relished by many in com
bination with cold milk, half
and half. Try it half and half
with apple juice. Add bottled
prune juice to buttermilk and
add a bit of sugar if you like.
Lemon Tartar Sauce
Keep this recipe for lemon
tartar sauce handy. You'll
want it many times during
the Lenten season.
Combine one cup mayon
naise, one tablespoon minced
green onions, one tablespoon
sweet pickle relish, one table
spoon minced parsely or one
teaspoon dried parsely flakes,
two tablespoons fresh lemon
juice, one teaspoon gratea
lemon peel, one-half teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce and one
half teaspoon celery or cara
way seeds. Plan to fix this sev
eral hours before serving time
blend ingredients: chill.
Serve on fish; pass in bowl.
Fish Garnishes
Fish without lemon is un
thinkable so here are lemon
for fish suggestions.
For lemon wedges which
are highly favored for fish,
cut fruit in half lengthwise,
then cut each half into thirds.
Sprinkle with paprika or oth
er spices.
Lemon boats are appropri
ate and attractive as sauce
dishes. Cut lemon in half
lengthwise, scoop out pulp
and use in making sauce. Fill
"boat" with sauce.
Fish shapes may be cut
from lemon peel for some
thing really fancy.

erous servings of a lightly per-
iect macaroni and cheese dish
