Plif Many Holes
Now is the season of delight
' In casseroles. The casserole is
a dish of many talents, capa
ble of appearing in many
i guises. Its content accommo
J dates itself to the rest of the
cast. It can loaf in the oven
! or linger in the chafing dish.
The casserole stays at home
and it goes to parties with
i equal aplomb. It goes to the
: table or sits on the sideboard
. (now called a buffet).
; The casserole appears in
' transparent heat resistant
glass, gaily colored vitreous
china, earthenware, porcelain,
enameled cast iron, California
clay pottery and in metal. It
can be used on the range, in
the range, plugged in or kept
hot on the barbecue.
- Its shapes and sizes are be
yond numbering. The ubiqui-
( tous casserole even comes in
: mix or match ensembles. It
can house anything from
hearty chowder to chocolate
i souffle.
. Casserole Car
Before we put anything in
our star performer, let's con
i sider Its care lest its life be
shortened needlessly. Unless
j the casserole is of cast iron or
, copperware or carries a guar
, anty against any casualty,
' here are things to remember:
To cook on top of stove

use an asbestos pad or an iron
flame protector under the
utensil.
Begin with a slow flame, in
creasing heat gradually. Nev
er place an empty casserole
over the flame nor in a hot
oven. Avoid sudden change
of temperature from very cold
to very hot or vice versa un
less the guaranty says it's
okeh.
If your prepared casserole
has been stored in the refriger
ator or freezer, place the dish
in warm water to remove the
chill.
Never place a hot casserole
on an extremely cold or damp
surface. Do not pick up a hot
casserole with a wet cloth or
pot holder.
Do not pour cold liquids
into a hot casserole. If you
wish to increase the liquid in
the dish after cooking for a
while, heat the liquid to be
added.
Do not put cold butter or
oil into a hot casserole. Put
the cold substance into the
casserole when it is cold, then
heat the two together. It is
always wise to grease the cas
serole before adding the in
gredients. If your casserole is tin
lined copper, handle it with
loving care. Protect table tops
from a fast scorching by the
use of tiles, trivets, hot pads
or adequate cork mats.
Now you're enjoying cas
serole cooking at its best.
Dad's Hearty Rarebit

Colombians Stuff Pot

The idea of stuffing a pot
roast with vegetables was a
new one to us when we read
a favorite recipe (Came
Claveteada) from a private

United Nations. W tried it,
found it attractive, delicious
and unusual; a real conserva
tion piece as the family en
joyed it; asked for seconds.

Restoring of
ility To
Men Possible
Miami Beach, Fla. (Science
Service) - There is new hope
for men who have had surgi
cal operations for sterilization.
A California doctor has per
fected a hollow-split technique
to restore fertility in such
cases and so far it has been
successful.
Dr. Stanwood S. Schmidt,
a urologist practicing in Eu
reka, Calif., told the Ameri
can Medical association here
that presently established
techniques failed 50 per cent
of the time, usually because
the sperm tube becomes
blocked again. '
Tied End Bulged
In sterilization, the v a s
deferens, the sperm tube lead
ing from the testis to the stor
age capsule, is cut or tied
shut in the middle. The tied
end closest to the body be
comes bulged a little, probab
ly because of a slight pressure
from spermatic fluid in the
testis. The operation is per
formed on both sperm tubes.
In the usual restoring oper
ation, the tied ends are re
opened and rejoined, bulged
end to smooth end. This
makes a crooked joint around
which spermatic fluid collects,
hardens and eventually plugs
up the tube again.
This crooked rejoining and
the blocking by calcified sper
matic fluid is the cause of
most of the failures, Dr
Schmidt said.
Bulged Section Removed
In his new technique, de
veloped in dogs under a grant
from the Population Council,
Inc., Dr. Schmidt cuts out the
bulged section, about half an
inch long. He then inserts a
tiny polyethylene tube
through the skin, into the vas
deferens and passes it down
past the spot where the cut
ends are later sewed together.
This hollow splint not only
insures a straight joining, but
also allows the spermatic flu
id to by-pass the sewed spot
and dram off Into the band
ages. Ends Heal Smoothly
In about ten days the ends
have healed together smooth
ly, the polyethylene splint is
removed and fertility has
been restored.
In Dr. Schmidt's experi
ments with young male dogs,
microscopid examination of
the vas deferens and its sur
rounding tissue showed no
more inflammation than any
other clean wound 30 days aft
er operation, indicating that
the polyethylene is not reac
tive. There was no calcifica
tion of spermatic material.
Although not yet widely
used, the technique has. been
tried in a few men and has
been satisfactory. Dr. Schmidt
believes doctors can now tell
patients that surgical sterili
zation in men no longer need
be permanent.
Big Service Station
Offers Everything
Gramercy, La. If water
won't mix with gasoline, how
come soup will?
The answer can be found
here in an unusual gas station
called the Moto-Mat. The sta
tion is operated by Esso Stan
dard as a test center for new
ideas in merchandising which
are passed along to the com
pany's 24,000 dealers.
In addition to having his
car serviced, a passing motor
ist can sip a cup of soup or
dine on a variety of foods dis
pensed by coin machines. The
station has an air-conditioned
lunch and lounge area, a din
ing patio and children's play
ground. Among the station's 18 em
ployees are three hostesses
who help keep the youngsters
entertained in addition to pro
viding hotel and motel reser
vations and giving travel information.
Free Hair Cut
Still Available
Along Skid Row
Chicago (UPD The day of
the nickel beer may be gone,
but there's still a spot in this
city of four million where a
guy can get a free shave and
haircut - if he's sober.
Joe Palopoli, who has been
trimming heads 50 years, runs
the place, along with 32 stu
dent barbers. They cater to
the more tidy-minded habitu
ates along Chicago's skid row.
It's the Chicago Barber col
lege and a long line of hair
minded bums wait out in
front each morning for their
periodical trim.
As Joe, who quickly admits
"I'm the best barber in the
city," puts it: "The Salvation
Army puts clothes on their
back and we clean them up."
All Get Top Service
But, said Joe, a hobo - just
like a banker - wants a good
trim.
"They'll come in with a
three-week beard and a mop
of hair half way down their
shoulders," Joe said, "b u t
they're still vain."
"Some want a trim, others
say not too much off the back
and still others want a neatly
clipped crew cut. In any case,
they all get top service."
"We Just get out the equip
ment," Joe said, "and get to
work. And if my students
don't do a good job I finish it
up."
Joe admits his is not a
gabby shop.
"We don't talk to the cus
tomers too much," he said.
"Our job Is to learn to cut
hair. Anyone can talk."
Joe says not all of his cus
tomers are down and outers.
"You k n o w," he said,
"sometimes we get guys dress
ed up in real good suits and
shoes. Business men, I guess.
They come in for a free hair
cut. T guess they hate to pay
the big prices uptown.
"It kinda makes mi laugh.'
No Drunks Allowed
On the wall of Joe's barber
shop hangs a sign which is
cardinal rule: "No drunks al
lowed." "If they're drunk," Jot said
flatly, "no haircut. W can't
take them if they've been
drinking or just coming off t
spree.
"Their heads roll and they
shake a little. It makes my
barbers nervous."
"Why, you know," Joe add
ed, "a customer could get hi
ear cut off or his throat cut
acting like that."
For the record, Joe said
they haven't lost a customer
yet.
