6 A THURSDAY. MAY 18, 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Feeding the Family ly ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Spices, Htrbf and Seeds Put Zest Into CrMtloni . As far back at 80,000 years or so B.C., It is thought by archeologists that man had no ticed that certain leaves lnv Darted delicious flavor meat. In one of man's earliest written records, about 2,300 B.C., the Assyrians told their gods drinking sesame seed wine before they created the earth. Biblical history tells of Joseph of the coat of many colors being sold to spice caravan by his brothers . Spice caravans continue to roll. Today's good cooks reach readily for seasoning choices among a vast array displayed enticingly on local super market shelves. Spices, herbs and seeds are nature's own products; each with dis tinctive aroma and flavor that . seems not to have varied whit during the centuries. Spices are parts of aromatic plants grown in the tropics Herbs refer to leaves of aro matic plants grown in the tem- perate zone. Seeds refer to the fruit or seeds of herb plants. In the art of cooking, these are the magic pigments without which all culinary creations would b dull and lifeless. Spice Storage ' Spices, herbs and aromatic seeds aren't expensive. Con. aider the distances they've traveled to your kitchen and how magically they stretch once they are yours. Do not store them near a stove or in the sunlight since heat and light fade out their delightful essences. Treat them well and they will reward you well. Check your spices, herbs and seeds and discard those whose aromas do not rush out to . greet you. Replace them and see what difference it makes. Simple Rules To Use Unless you are following recipe, use only one or two herbs In any one dish. With two cups of gravy or sauce or one pound of meat, fish or fowl, or four servings of other foods, use one-eighth teaspoon of black pepper, garlic salt or powder, onion salt or powder. Use one-quarter teaspoon of the other herbs and spices. Use cayenne pepper a few grains at a time. Black pep per improves the flavor of any food except fruit and desserts. "N . v . When whole spices are used . with beverages, fruit, pot roasts or stews, they should oe aaaea at tne start ol cook' lng and tied in cheesecloth. Vegetable Excitement Use spices and herbs In new ways. With little effort, every day foods are taken out of the ordinary, enhanced with interesting new flavor and ap pearance. Check spice con tainer labels for suggestions. Blond spices and herbs toward the end of the cooking period so that flavor and aroma are cot lost through cooking.

Many Unhappy Marriages May Last for Years Chicago -(Science Service)- Sometimes a marriage is so disturbing to both husband and wife and appears so un satisfactory to all observers that it seems headed for an immediate crack-up and yet it win unaccountably endure for years.., -.'... Study of 12' such lone- standing discordant marriages snowed that the very painful- ness of the life together served a psychological purpose for both husband and wife. Pleasurable adult sexuality was not a part of the oatients' lives, within the marriage or outside it, Drs. Marietta Hous ton and R. B. Forman, psychi atrists of the Mennlnger Foun dation, Topeka, Kans., report ed at the American Psychi atric Association meeting here. To the husband, life with the wife seemed to repeat his , relationship with the mother of his childhood. Any frustration roused in him hos tility toward his wife with the same intensity that in child hood he blamed , his mother for everything that '. 'went wrong. ' As for the wives, the close attachment they had with their mothers in childhood continues much the same in adulthood either in fact or in fantasy. 1 The wives were frigid and the husbands periodically im potent. Each sought excessive gratification from the other and nonfulfillment led to in fantile, demanding attitudes, childish expressions of anger, and cruel, sadistic behavior. Only when one of the cou ple withdrew somewhat from the intense relationship of the marriage was the equilibrium of the situation upset. 5 . l V ' ,- . - Ui IDEAL RECIPE-Thls substantial satisfying fish or shellfish saiaa bowl is an ideal recipe to keep bandy because it can be made with shrimp, crab, lobster, tuna or salmon, is given zest wnn lemon ana color witn green peas.

' Little Delinquency Is Traceable To Television ; Stanford, Calif. - (UPD - The violence shown on television programs probably will not cause little Murgatroyd to be come a juvenile delinquent but it may help. That is the conclusion reach ed by three communications professors who studied the television habits of more than 6,000 children. "Children who bring ag gression to television are more likely to remember the ag gressive acts on television. Children want to be like the 'successful' characters they see, whether those characters are good or bad," the profes sors concluded in a book en titled "Television in the Lives of Our Children," published by the Stanford University press.

"Televi sion Is at best a contributory cause. ., "Although we are not trying to excuse the sins of televi sion, whether of omission or commission, It seems to us quite remarkable thing that if a child has security and love, interests, friendships and healthful activities in his non television hours, there is little chance that anything very bad is going to happen to him as a result of television. "Television, therefore, is not something either to be feared, or given a clean bill of health, but rather some thing that" calls for under standing and for certain spe cial responsibilities, on t h e part of .parents, broadcasters, teachers and other persons influencial in a child's life," the authors said. The authors, Wilbur Schramm, director of the In stitute for Communication Re search at Stanford university; Jack Lyle, assistant professor of journalism at UCLA, and Edwin B. Parker, assistant professor in the Institute of Communications Research at the University of Illinois, spend three years gathering and analyzing data on chil dren and television in 10 com munities in the United States and Canada. They made extensive stud ies of the time children spent at various activities in com parable Canadian communi ties - one of which bad tele vision and the other which had only radio. Their conclusion was that television took time from the children's lives that would otherwise be devoted to fan tasy rather than reality. TV substantially reduced the amount of time spent on com ic books, movies, radio and escape magazines without greatly affecting the time de- Submarines To fie Future Fishing Boats New York - IUPD - The fish ing boat of the future prob ably will go -down where the fish are.
