Chilled Soupi. Seledi,
Sandwiches lor Summir Day
We're deep Into the sand
wiches and soups, soups and
salads season. Hot day, cold
coup. Hot soup, cold sandwich.
Cold salad, hot muffins. And
for a spectacular dessert, it
is very easy to llambe ba
nanas as you will see when
you read further. If we're con
fused about whether to keep
it cool or to turn on the heat,
it's a sign of the times.
Keep It Cool
Broth on Rocks
. Beef broth on the rocks
continues in the food news. It
It a thirst-quenching, salt-replenishing,
tasty, rcuivifying
beverage that contains energy-building
proteins and no
stimulants. .
Put in a dozen or so cans
of beef broth for handy ref
erence. Place some ice cubes
in tall glasses; then add the
condensed beef broth, pouring
It straight over the ice.
. For flavor fillip, add a dust
ing of cinnamon, cloves or
nutmeg, slice of lemon or twist
of lemon peel, sprinkling of
minced parsley, dash of Wor
cestershire, Tabasco or Angos
tura. Serve in tall glasses,
tumblers, mugs or paper cups.
Soup Cooler Pictured
For today's picture and for
four generous servings, we
combined in a saucepan and
carefully blended one can
(lOVi ounces) condensed cream
nf chicken soup, one can (lO'j
ounces) condensed cream of
asparagus soup, two soup cans
milk, one tablespoon chopped
parsley, one - half teaspoon
curry. Heat; stir now and
then. Place in refrigerator for
at least four hours. Serve in
chilled bowls. Garnish with
toasted sesame seeds for a
change.
Other Cool Combos ,
ered tongue, salami or other
choice of delicatessen or can
ned luncheon meats, slivered
or diced. Slivers of any cold
roast are ideal.
Relishes might be carrot
sticks, small green onions,
celery curls, green pepper
rings, onion rings, thinly
sliced dill pickles, stuffed ol
ives.
Soup Shakes: With milk in
the refrigerator and canned
soup on the pantry shelf, you
can have a surprise shake any
time. Take a can of tomato,
cream of celery, cream of
mushroom, or cream of chick
en soup. Shake well with a
aoup can of chilled milk. Use
tall glasses for serving. Glass
es may be frosted by running
water over them and putting
them damp in the freezer
compartment for 10 minutes
or so.
Spiced Tomato Cup. Com
bine one can (10 Vi ounces)
condensed tomato soup, one
soup can water and dash of
cloves oj cinnamon in sauce
pan; simmer a tew minutes
to blend flavors. For hcrbed
aoup, use dash ground dill,
oregano, poultry seasoning or
thyme instead of spices.
To Each Hit Own
Salad Makings
Siep right up and pick your
choice. Set out an array of
salad ingredients and let fam
ily and friends choose their
own combinations. A fine con
versation piece because some
will toss their salads and oth
ers will carefully arrange.
Some will dress up and sea

Dressings offered might be
traditional oil and vinegar in
cruets with measuring spoon
nearby along with a ready
made tart French dressing,
mayonnaise, dairy sour cream
or family-favorite offerings.
Greens at this season might
include lettuce, chicory, ro
maine, endive, watercress.
Some like to add a few of
the younger, more tender
spinach leaves.
Bowls might offer cooked
shrimp, cheese slivers, sliv-
Fruit Salad Toss-Up
A fruit salad in addition to
or in place of the chef's salad
type is worthy of your sum
mer consideration. Arr a n g e
your handsomest platter or
biggest bowl with heaps of
pineapple wedges, banana
slices, oranges andor grape
fruit sections; avocados or
peach slices that have been
dipped in lemon juice to pre
vent discoloration. C a n t a-
loupe balls or cubes, apricot
halves and of course straw
berries are further entice
ments. For fruit we suggest french
dressing, a combination of
mayonnaise and dairy sour
cream or this honey-wine
vinegar dressing; Measure
one-half cup salad oil, one
fourth cup honey, one-quarter
cup wine vinegar, one
teaspoon dry muslard, one
teaspoon salt and two tea
spoons paprika in a quart jar
with a tight cover. Shake well
to blend before each using.
Keeps well without refriger
ation. Recipe makes enough
for six servings.
Same Strategy
With Sandwiches
Use the to-cach-his-own
strategy for sandwiches also.
Summer meal planners whe
ther preparing for guests or
setting out a simple family
repast will rate cheers by
this simple bit of planning.
Hungry persons serve them
selves and saunter about the
house, yard, patio, terrace,
poolside or whatever, seek
ing solitude or companionship
according to mood. Paper
paraphernalia, a foregone con
clusion. Plates, bowls, napkins.
Bread assorlmcnt is easily
arrived at with today's sliced
breads ready and waiting by
the dozen. Choose French or
Italian bread if you're mak
ing garlic bread. Be sure to
always have some of the indis
pensable rye or pumpernickle.
Meat might include cold
roast, slices of baked ham,
any of the vast array of del
icatessen culrt cuts or of the
equally intriguing array ot
canned meat specialties.
When you select cheese for
a sandwich tray, he sure to
include sonic of bolh strong
and mild flavor and sliced or
sliccablc since it's sandwich
es you're making.
You'll need softened butter,
mayonnaise or other creamy
salad dressing, mustard, may
be horseradish. Dill pickles
are a must. Other relishes
such as loose lettuce leaves,
green onions, radishes and
celery give further pleasure.

Parental Example Given Blame forChildren Smoking
By LOUIS CASSELS
Washington - HOT - Parents
J't Ihaip .V,il4.aM
10 smoKe nao oeiier give up
the habit themselves.
This stern and widely-unwelcome
advice comes from
the American Cancer Society.
More accurately, it stands out
in the findings of a survey
conducted by the society
among high school students.
The survey showed that
millions of teenagers are culti
vating the cigarette habit, de
spite all of the medical warn
ings of recent years that it
may contribute to lung cancer
or heart disease.
One boy out of five begins
smoking by the time he's in
the ninth grade. By the senior
year of high school, 44 per
cent of the boys are smoking.
Girls are slightly less likely
to smoke, but 29 per cent of
them are lighting up gaspers
before they re out of high
school.
One Third Smoke Regularly
Taking all grades and both
sexes into account, approxi
mately one-third of our high
school youngsters are regular
cigarette smokers.
Why do they dot it? This
question especially interested
Dr. Daniel Horn, a Cancer So
ciety scientist who helped to
make one of the pioneering
studies linking smoking to
lung cancer.
Dr. Horn couid understand
how adults, hooked to the
habit, might find endless ex
cuses for not breaking it. But
he was appalled by the sight
of so many youngsters delib
erately developing the same
hazardous addiction. Through
carefully constructed ques
tions which were asked of all
the young people in the sur
vey, he sought to determine
what motivated them to
smoke.
The findings can only be
disquieting to any parent who
has clung to the notion that he
can warn his children off cig
arettes, while continuing to
use them himself.
The "most imporant" single
n f 1 u e n c e in oetcrmining ! or. What they add up to. says
whether a youngster smokes
Dr. Horn found, is "whether
or not his parents smoke."
In statistical terms, a youth
is twice as likely to begin
smoking in high school if both
his parents smoke than he is
if neither parent smokes.
Depends on Example
"What is most revealing,"
says Dr. Horn, "is that if one
or both parents have given up
smoking, the rate of student
smoking drops down to about
the same level as among chil
dren whose parents have
never smoked."
There are a lot more fig
ures of the same general ten-
Dr Horn, is that "children 9
smoking is largely dependent
on parental example."
Dr. Horn hopes that this
finding may serve as "a pow
erful tool to the modification
of adult smoking behavior."
"Quite apart from the ef
fects of smoking on the health
of adults," he says, "the fact
that parental smoking is an
important factor in teen-age
smoking poses to each parent
the question: 'Do I want my
children to smoke".'"
He suspects that some par
ents, who wouldn't give up
cigarettes for their own
health's sake, may do so for
their, children's sake.

Radiation Not Now
Dangerous To Man;
Great Care Needed
By DELOS SMITH
UPI Science Editor
New York - lUPli - In the
opinion of the scientist most
deeply involved in protecting
the public from radiation
dangers, including fall-out,
the present overall situation
"is probably not very bad nor
is it likely In become very
bad in the lifetime of most
of us."
Dr. Lauriston S. Taylor,
chairman of the National
Committee on Radiation Pro
tection and Measurements, re
frained from being most posi
tive because science cannot
say at the present lime how
much radiation people can
accumulate without harm. In
short, it is an extremely in
volved subject.
For instance, there Is "back
ground" radiation which peo
ple have been absorbing and
which surely has not been
harmful since people have
prospered and multiplied
abundantly. This romcs from

There also is internal radia
lion, continued Taylor in a
lecture the American Institute
of rhysics is circulating to
members in a technical publi
cation. Inevitably and from
their beginning people have
consumed radioactive sub
slanccs in food and drink
which are deposited in their
bodies and radiate them for
the length of their radioactive
lives.

purposes and those used in
the industry, principally for
testing the Inlerior integrity
of mrlal castings.
He estimated that natural
background radiation ac
counts for roughly (1(1 per cent
of the radiation absorbed by
the average person. Medical
X-rays account for some :,0
per cent which traves only
four per cent fur "fall - out"
it becomes "rather academic
for the immediate future" to
assign quotas to the remain
ing four per cent.
But he was by no means
taking a negative position.
Indeed he said, "we have a
deep moral responsibility to
make certain that the radia
tion problem does not become
a critical one for those that
follow us.
"We are thus Inescapably
compelled to consider, and
consider carefully, the ques
tion of the long-range uses of
all radiation sources what
ever, to be certain, first that
any level we set is not serious
ly exceeded, and secondly, to
be certain that no one source
causes us to use up our ex
posure allowance at the ex
pense of other uses which may
in fact be more essential to
our over-all health and well-being."
