Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Pink in High Fashion For Valentine's Day Love that pink! Pink may be high fashion today but it has been a mid-February favorite ever since St. Valen tine was invented. The ro mantic saint, seems to have had a passion for red and while and all variants thereof. So we've been busy in the kitchen stirring up frivolous fancies in the pink of perfec tion for pleasing your , own true love(s). "Be My Angel" Cake : Pink makes the ideal back ground for silhouette hearts cut out of semi-sweet choco lote for striking color and flavor contrast. It's simple when you bake an angle cake using a quick mix or buy it at the baker's. The secret of the chocolate hearts is to use the same little morsels of chocolate that make America's favorite Toll House Cookies. Frost an angel cake with pink -tinted Seven Minute Frosting. Place five large tchocolate ihearts on top of cake and 14 small chocolate hearts around sides. . 'Seven Minute Frosting. We repeat this, though it is like ly you've made it a hundred times. Combine two egg whites, unbeaten, with l' cups sugar, dash of salt, one half cup water and two tea spoons light corn syrup in top of double boiler. Beat about one minute or until thoroughly mixed. Place over boiling water and beat con stantly with sturdy egg beater or at high speed of electric beater seven minutes or until frosting stands in stiff peaks. Stir frosting from bottom and sides of pan occasionally with rubber scraper, spatula or spoon. Remove from' boiling water. For a very smooth and satiny frosting, pour at once into a large bowl for final beating. Then add one tea spoon vanilla and beat 1 min ,ute or until thick' enough to spread. "Chocolate Hearts. Com bine one six-ounce package (one cup) semi-sweet choco late morsels and two table spoons vegetable shortening in top of double boiler; melt over hot (not boiling) water. Spread evenly with back of spoon on aluminum foil-lined 15x10x2 inch pan. Chill until firm, approximately 20 min- : utes. Invert carefully on wax Zed paper-lined cookie sheet Gently peel off foil. Using heart shaped cookie cutter, . two inches across at widest point, cut 22 hearts. Using- heart-shaped cookie cutter 2's inches across at widest point, cut five hearts. Rechill until ; firm enough to handle, ap proximately five minutes. If you haven't heart shaped cut ters, now is a good time to get them. ' ' Pink Peppermint Punch Punch is the prettiest cup ever quaffed to Saint Valen tine yet it is made in a mat ter of minutes with satin- smooth, blendable, convenient evaporated milk. Recipe makes 18 half-cup (punch cup) servings: '-- Combine two tall cans (one- and two - thirds cups ach) evaporated milk, two tea spoons peppermint extract and a careful bit of red food coloring: chill well. You'll need a quart of vanilla ice! cream. Just before serving, stir in gently, one 12-ouncc bottle chilled ginger ale and two scoops vanilla ice cream until ice cream is melted. Place a scoop of ice cream in each punch cup and add pep permint punch to fill. Cherry Bavarian All pink and pretty, this Cherry Bavarian is a dessert delight to make, to look at, to enjoy. Unflavored gelatine gives full sway to. the flavor of the sour red pitted cherries enhance with evaporated milk, a bit of almond extract, a mere touch, of red food color ing. .J Drain one can (one pound 13 ounces) sour red pitted cherries (packed in water). Measure liquid, adding water if necessary to make one cup. Mix together one envelope unflavored gelatine and one third cup sugar in a saucepan; stir in cherry liquid. Place over low heat, stirring con stantly until gelatine and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat; cool slightly, then stir in one-half cup of diluted evaporated milk and one teaspoon almond extract. Chill until mixture is slightly thicker than un beaten egg white. Meanwhile, chill two-third cup evaporated milk in freez er tray of refrigerator until ice crystals form around edges. Turn into chilled bowl and whip with rotary beater or high speed of electric mix er until milk is stiff. Stir cherries into gelatine mixture, then fold into evaporated milk. Add a few drops of red food coloring. Turn into eight inch square pan and chill un til firm. . To serve, unmold and gar nish with eight small choco late hearts made as suggested for "Be My Angel" cake in these columns. Maraschino Cherries' Have Valentine Lure The lure of the maraschino cherry bottle is almost as great as that of the box of chocolates out of the chil- dren's reach. They are a nat ural for Valentine use and decoration.

BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York- HOT -The Amer ican motorist in the near fu ture should be reaping t h-e b e n e f its of present - day high way re search aimed at improving paving mate rials.

The new pavement consists of conventional asphalt pav ing mixtures, witli the addi tion of from 2 to 3 per cent of asbestos fibers. According to extensive testing programs conducted by the Johns-Man-ville Research Center, adding such small quantities of as bestos fiber may double serv iceable road life.

A number of paving com panies already have started to use asbestos-asphalt pave ments, according to J-M, a big isbestos producer itself. Re quests for technical informa tion have been received by J-M from eight foreign coun tries, including Indones'a, Ja pan, Peru, and the East Africa area. It was pointed out that the Soviet Union has used short asbestos fiber in cold asphalt pavement for 10 years with excellent performance report ed to date.
