Strawberries, choice and tempting, need only another wcek or two of warm sunshine before displaying in profusion their many charms with rich thick cream, in shortcakes or merely dipped in confection ers' sugar or sour cream for eating from the berry's stem. A luxury item right now. We Sing of Fresh California Asparagus From California's far-famed Delta district comes asparagus to delight the world. This area supplies much of the green asparagus and all of the white asparagus grown com mercially in the United States. The initial' crop, now being celebrated, goes into fresh shipments. About the middle of April, smart can ners and freezers will move in, winding up with 60 to 65 per cent of the crop for our later enjoyment. Asparagus Preparation Consumers hereabouts pre fer the very green fresh as paragus and thin stalks as op posed to thick ones. How ever, tenderness of asparagus is not dependent upon thick ness or thinness of stalk. Two pounds of fresh as paragus will make six serv ings. Select straight' stalks that are green and tender for almost their entire length with close, compact tips. Wash asparagus, break off and dis card, the firm, light colored base. r Asparagus Cooking Cook asparagus, covered, in one inch of boiling, salted water for only 12 to 15 min utes or until lower part of stalk is just barely tender when tested with a fork.

" Many, ourselves among them, add a generous squeeze of lemon juice to the melted butter. Others make . a Hol landaise sauce or combine mayonnaise and sour cream; warmed gently. ' The flavor of fresh aspara gus is so highly regarded by many epicures that it is al ways served on buttered toast points to preserve every bit of goodness. Herbed New Potatoes New potatoes, another har binger of Spring, are; increas ing in supply right along.1 - - For each six servings,';scrub two pounds new potatoes. Pare off a narrow strip from center of each. Cook in-boiling, salted watery 20 to 25 minutes or until tender; drain. - Pour melted butter over all. Toss lightly with a mixture of finely minced pars ley . and . one-half teaspoon crushed basil. Many like the subtle influ ence of a . light sprinkle of caraway seed, chives, dill seed, marjoram,' onion, oreg ano, paprika, rosemary, sage or sesame seed. Go easyon these. If you've never raided the refrigerator and feasted on cold cooked new potatoes, but tered, salted and peppered, you've missed a rare treat. Fresh Peas High In Flavor Favor Fresh green peas have been among the favorite foods of persons for at least 5,000 years. Today's early Spring peas are. California - grown with Oregon and Washington supplying those happily avail able throughout late -Spring. The canning and freezing of peas is big business all along our west coast. Green Peas Please Fresh green peas should be removed from the pods and cooked soon after purchase because they lose tenderness and sweetness quickly. Use as little water as possible, drop ping " the peas into boiling water, and cook about 15 min utes. . Early arrivals are so prized for their fine flavor that they're usually served with seasoned butter or are dressed in light cream. They're often teamed with new potatoes. Favored seasonings for but tered green peas are a mere whisper of basil, chervil, cin namon, marjoram, mint, mushrooms, olive oil, oregano, savory, tarragon or thyme.

D Thursday, March 17, 1960 Star Brightness Not Always Same Williams Bay, Wis.-(Science Service) -An astronomer has just found evidence to show that the distribution of bright ness among newly formed stars is not the same in all re gions of -the universe at all times-contrary to a generally accepted assumption of uni formity. Dr. D. N. Limber of the Uni versity of Chicago's Yerkes Observatory here has con cluded that the brightness of newly formed stars differs from one part of the sky to another. It is influenced by the density, amount of turbu lence among the stars, tem peratures and chemical com position of the matter present in a region. First ,Dr. Limber figured out the original brightness of well known stars. Results in dicated that some of these stars should be "more than 20 billion years old. ' Since this seemed older than could be reasonably expected, Dr. Lim ber saw as the only other pos sibility that initial brightness can vary in different parts of a galaxy or from one galaxy to another.

Her first novel is a best seller and has been sold to Hollywood. . Her proud publisher took her on a round of New York night clubs recently, and flushed with wines and joie de vivre, sought to embrace his lovely author in the taxi going home. "Sir," she said sharp ly, "I welcome your ad vances, but I reject your ! proposals." . My young son Jonathan brought home from school these two sad tales: 1. A two-ton lass dieted rigorously for two months to get slim. Then Slim ran off with somebody else. 2. A husband whose wife was a better hitter than Ted Williams felt it necessary to insert this ad in the local paper: "They gave my wife another driving license today for reasons I cannot under stand. Pedestrians beware!" Prayer by a. cautious politician: "Oh heaven, let my words today be tender and sweet, for tomorrow I may have to eat them." 1960. Bennett Cerf.

Jane F. - He must think about making a living. Miles F. - I could dig ditches. Jane F. - My husband and I are terribly concerned about our J 9-year-old son, Miles. He iSj in his second year of college and has informed us that he has changed his whole pro gram to study art and philos ophy. , We are terribly upset be cause we feel there is no real future in these fields. We had a struggle to be able to send our boy to college and we wer.e hoping he would become an engineer. Miles has been greatly in fluenced at school by a teach er who talks a lot of high flown, intellectual stuff -and who is worshipped by his stu dents. We have nothing against the intellect but we think a young man must first get his feet on solid ground as far as making a living is con cerned. Miles F. - When I started my college course I really didn't know what I "wanted. My parents seemed to think that engineering was a good career. I have some mathe matical and mechanical apti tude so I went along with the idea. : In the past year, however, my eyes have been opened to a whole new world. In fact, I've learned more from this one teacher in the past term than I learned in my whole life. He thinks I have some thing that's worth developing and his encouragement means the world to me. There is always some way to get the necessities of life. I could dig ditches or collect garbage. At least I'd be able to call my soul my own. I couldn't do that if I were an engineer. The Council: - Considerable confusion has arisen here be cause these parents have been shocked and terrified by their son's change of program. We agree that Miles may have his feet quite a few miles off the ground, but this may be his reaction to his parents' opposition. He has been badly frightened by his rebellion against them and is confusing many issues. - Yes, there made to pamper your cat and come in the handy one-time feeding size, too. QUALITY PET FOODS For one thing, Miles doesn't explain why his soul would be more his own if he were a ditch-digger or a garbage col lector than an engineer. He recognizes that he must make a living in some way, but has unrealistic ideas about what it actually feels like to per form various jobs. We'd sug gest that Miles try ditch-digging or garbage-collecting for one summer-just to get the feel of the thing and the effect on his soul. On the other hand, both Miles and his parents should look into the question of ca reers a little more closely. Many individuals have made sound and solid carrers in art and philosophy. It is a new idea to the F.s, but they should recognize that the op portunities in these fields for able individuals are not as limited as may appear at first glance. Teachers who are instru mental in opening new intel lectual horizons to their stu dents rarely have the time or interest to also guide their fu tures. Miles should, recognize that his parents do have this time and interest. They don't really want to curb his de velopment, but are legitimate ly concerned about the need for a realistic appraisal of the future. If he shows them he has a good sense of direction, we think they ought to en courage him to go his own way. While things are still un certain, however, Miles should try to keep his program gen eral.

JtQSSFOOBCeb Underground Wa te r Traced by Bomb Fallout in Rain Washington -(Science Serv iced Radioactive fallout from atom bomb tests can be usedj to seek out and "expose" new sources of drinking water that lie hidden deep in the earth. This prospect was suggested by a special report prepared by the Atomic Energy Com mission and the U.S. Geolog ical Survey for the Senate Se lect Committee on National Water Resources, Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla.). chairman. . Projects Under Way The report said research projects for developing such techniques are now under way in New Jersey, Wisconsin and New Mexico. Raindrops have an affinity for absorbing minute particles of tritium from the fallout left in the atmosphere after nuclear bomb tests. Scientists seek ways to use these parti cles as "atomic dog tags" to identify underground water and find out how it percolates into the earth, where it goes and how fast it travels. This, they believe, may be done by taking samples from test wells at different places and depths from which water '"tagged" with .tritium can be identified with delicate instruments to learn its origin as rain or snow. Then, by using harmless quantities of tritium to "tag" water entering the ground at later dates, they hope to be able to measure how fast the Return to Scene Of Crime Costly Warren, Pa. - Norbert Ber sey, 56, was arrested as he tried to burglarize the home of Mrs. Ethel Hornouer.

Sen. Kerr pointed out that more ground water sources will be needed for national growth in many areas, in ad dition to full conservation of stream flows.
