s J j ' 'illillilll rr- fix 'aea-ts THURSDAY. MAY 31, 1862 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor II I Great Wonderful Whirl At We Color With In Cream Today we talk of the kind ol food most likely to succeed at any June party whether dreamed up for June gradu ates, for June brides, for anni versaries, or for goings-away. June has more reasons for parties than any other month of the year. Most June festivities center around" buffet or other al fres co arrangement; rely on color, drama, variety. Ice cream and cake or ice cream with some thing super like our chocolate morseled refrigerator crust pictured today will pass with highest honors; needs only a sparkling beverage or two as traditional accompaniment. Color Scheming A little imagination on your part (and possibly on the part of participants) will produce a color scheme in school class colors or the harmonious tones of the flower arrange ments or other desirable com bination. Ice cream and sher bet come in a glowing array of colors. Ways with cakes and pie crusts are limited only by the imagination. To ice cream colors, arid toppings of orange, taffy, but terscotch or curamel (gold), berries and fruits which come In many color tones. Choco late and cocoa sauces give black and brown tones. Mar aschino cherries and their syrups in red andor green solve many a school or other decorative color problem. Consider the half gallon block or the gallon "roll" of ice cream which can be strip ed or otherwise decorated in desired colors. Frosted con gratulations a n d o r best wishes or other messages can be written on it (or them) for admiring before cutting and serving. Be sure to keep these refrigerated until last minute taking of bows. Ice Cream As Pictured Basketed in Chocolate Refrigerator pies arc the answer to many a party prob lem. They are handsome enough to bo very festive; re quire little or no cooking; can be made in any, quantity well ahead of time. The delectable crisp shell shown in our picture is made with semi sweet chocolate morsels melted with shorten ing and combined with crisp rice cereal and chopped wal nuts. The shell chills until set; holds scoops of chocolate, vanilla, pistachio, coffee or whatever ice cream flavors you fancy for the occasion. 1 6-ounce package 1 cup) semi - sweet chocolate morsels. 2 tablespoons shortening 2 cups crisp rice cereal Vi cup chopped walnuts Ice cream. This shell or basket is eas ily made. Fit a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil inside and over the rim of a nine-inch pie plate, smoothing with fingers to make a liner. Trim off ex cess edge with scissors. Yes, the foil is essential. Turn the semi-sweet chocolate morsels into plate. Add shortening, using any of the creamy ho mogenized types. Heat in a moderate, 350 degree, oven for three minutes. Remove from oven; blend together morsels and shorten ing with back of spoon. Stir , in crisp rice creal and wal nuts. Spread mixture over bottom, up side of pic plate and over rim to form a shell. Chill until set. When ready to serve, invert pie plHtc and carefully peel foil from shell; slip shell back into pie plate. Fill with scoops of vari-colored ice cream. Serve pie In wedges and that certainly will be a change. Party Maneuvers Center Around Dips and Dunks Informal parties are likely to feature dips and dunks as the younger generation emu lates parents' party plans; seek something pungent to go with the punch. Parly givers of all asqs and for all occa sions will find these sugges tions try-able. These recipes were develop ed to feature dippers to com pliment the special dunk ra ther than relying exclusively on crackers, potato chips and corn chips for dipping. A few extra bowls of these popular Items scattered here and there are always welcome. Cloud 9 Dip Celery stalks cut in easily handled pieces, cherry toma toes with stems left on and cauliflowereltes arc delight ful with this. Keep vegetables well chilled. Combine two cups dairy sour crem, three tablespoons horseradish, one-quarter cup fresh lemon Juice, one table spoon finely chopped onion, one-quarter cup finely chop ped celery, pinch of salt. Mix well and chill. If party ia large, you'll need several of these. The dippers here arc golden orange wedges. Slice impeded oranges Into cartwheel shapes; cut each slice Into wedge shaped pieces and ar range on bed of crushed Ice or nn large platter with bowl of mix in center. The bite size wedges are Just right for eating without dripping. Mash two ripe avocados and combine with one tablespoon grated onion, one-quarter cup fresh lemon Juice, one-third cup mayonnaise (half and half with dairy sour cream if you like), one teaspoon salt, one quarter teaspoon fresh chili powder, dash of cayenne and four slice of crisply fried and crumbled bacon. Arrange as suggested above. Dairy Sour Cream and Mace This combination lends it self to whole strawberries, or ange wedges, bite-size pieces of cantaloupe, small slices of peach or other seasonal fruits of your choice. The flavor of the mace should be subtle. Simply com bine dairy sour crem with confectioners' sugar and mace to taste. Very little sugar is required. Put Punch in Party In Ways Like These Here again you can go color scheming with the beverage. Consider class or decorator colors in drinks, in the ice cubes, In the glasses them selves, in stirrers; maybe small scoop of ice cream or sherbet to help along the illu sion. Offer tart-sweet (many par ly drinks are sickeningly sweet, you know) liquid re freshments In generous punch bowls or In pitchers with glass pitchers obviously being the most dramatic. Teen Tempters Here a little Imagination coupled with some pure fruit coloring can produce desir able, certain - to - be- talked about color combinations. Recipe will make 35 to 40 punch glass servings. Squeeze Juice from one lem on and two limes. Add three cans (six-ounces each) quick frozen concentrated orange Juice, one No. 3 can chilled pineapple juice, four cups ice cold water and one-half tea spoon salt; mix until blended.

Murder-for-Profit Evidence Mounts In Airliner Crash By HARRY FERGUSON Washington - H'Pli - Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy is within sight of total victory in her campaign for culture. The low-brows and the middle brows have not yet signed any formal in strument of surrender, but f ' a d m l r ers of Jt't'f-;, Is Elvis Presley Hirry reriuion might as well abandon hope that he ever will be invited to render "You're Nothin' but a Hound Dog" on the White House premises. j Mrs. Kennedy's culture! campaign is taking hold all I over Washington. An eaves-.; dropper at a drug store foun tain heard a stenographer ex plaining, between bites of a tuna fish salad on rye, the White House recipe for crepes suzette. At sundown the other day a youth in blue Jeans stood at the corner of 13th and Constitution ave., and kissed a girl's hand with all the grace and aplomb of a com mercial attache at the French Embassy. If somebody explod ed a plastic bomb, you would swear you were in Paris. Issues Communique The communique announc ing the triumph of culture was issued, not by Mrs. Ken nedy, but by Arthur Schlesin- ger Jr., special assistant to the President: "In the Execu tive Mansion, where Fred Waring and his Pennsylvan ians once played, we now find Isaac Stern, Pablo Casals, Stravinsky and the Oxford Players. I think we will not leave it to the Soviet Union to discover the Van Cllburns of the future." Schlesinger, a Harvard pro fessor and the Galahad of the culture movement, fears no middle-brow or low-brow and smites all Philistines with fer vor, including Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower who likes Fred Waring's band and used to in vite it to the White House. Small pockets of resistance have been established by the low-brows and the middle brows and they are ready to resist to the death. An organi zation known as "Central Bur- lesk" has dug in a few blocks from the White House and, Judging from the line outside, a young lady named Natasa is rallying the troops with considerable effectiveness.

At first it was iuiorer!, but ii grew to such proportions that White House press secretary Pierre Salinger delivered this mortal blow: "There was no twist danced that night.

Can Forgive High-Brow A high-brow can be for given almost anything. Not long ago Dr. Linus Pauling, the eminent scientist, was spending the daylight hours picketing the White House in protest against the resump tion of nuclear testing. One evening he changed from his work clothes and went to a party the Kennedys gave for Nobel Prize winners. Was he snubbed and scorned? No. The President greeted him: "I am delighted you are ex pressing your views in such a forthright manner." How does one become a highbrow? This definition, ut tered by a British philosopher named Sir Alan Herbert, might be helpful: "A high brow is the kind of a person who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso." Centerville, Iowa (UPD- The Civil Aeronautics Board an nounced today It was "suc cessfully concluding" its part in the investigation of the ap parent sabotage of an airliner which killed 45 persons. Edward Slattery Jr., CAB public Information officer, said many of the board's crash investigators would return to Washington today with the rest due to leave Centerville Friday. "The rest Is up to the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation," Slattery said. The Continental Airlines Boeing 707 Jet broke up In the air May 22 and plunged 30,000 feel into a gulley near Unionville, Mo., south of here. The lone survivor died a few hours later.

The dynamite-like explosion occurred in the right rear washroom below the ail fin, at the ex treme rear of the fuselage, Just aft of thecoach passenger compartment. CAB Chairman Alan Boyd has said the FBI has "fairly good evidence" of a murder-for-profit plot in the crash. FBI agents have been look ing into flight insurance car ried by persons aboard the plane. One Chicago insurance company, Continental Casual ty, said the FBI has forbid den it to release figures on the amount of Insurance car ried by passengers. However, another Insur ance firm, Mutual of Omaha, disclosed Wednesday that It had written a $150,000 policy on a "Tom Doty" of Merriam, Kan. Widow Beneficiary The Chicago Tribune re ported that Thomas G. Doty, 34, a cosmetics salesman, had taken out at least $300,000 in insurance. The Kansas City Star reported that Doty's wid ow, Naomi, an expectant mother, was the beneficiary of several in.flinhl inenranra policies taken out by her hus band. Doty had been scheduled to make a court appearance last Friday - three days after the crash - on a Kansas City, Mo., robbery charge. The FBI last week end took posesession of a briefcase bear ing the initials "T.G.D." which was found by a farmer some distance from the crash scene. FBI agents declined to identi fy the owner of the briefcase. A Centerville police officer said one FBI agent said when he saw the briefcase, "This is what we've been looking for."
