MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY. AUGUST IS. I9E2 Summer Salad Days Raise Questions Regarding Oils Br JEANNE LESEM New York (UPD Summer aUd days raise the question - which liquid oil is prefer . , . . able for home- made dress ings and all purpose cook ing? The med ical answer is one for your family physi cian to pre scribe. If he recommends a Jauuia Lejera diet low in polyunsaturated fats for low ering blood cholesterol, he may suggest corn or safflower ' oil, or vegetable oils generally. There are five widely avail able oils to consider for flavor and general usefulness, and a few others of special interest. One staple is olive oil, which goes so far back in history that no one has pinpointed its first culinary use. The Span ish Olive Oil institute says that Ancient Greeks mixed olive oil with vinegar and spices to make fish sauces and used it alone for salads and cooking. Spain has been the chief olive producing area since Julius Caesar's day. With Italy and Greece, it supplies 95 per cent of the olive oil used in the United States. But the United States ranks below Europe and Latin America on olive oil use. " Tree Thriv ' " Thomas Jefferson failed in an attempt to grow olive trees in Virginia's humid climate. Spanish and Italian monks who came to the Americas in colonial times had better luck, says the Olive Oil institute. The trees they planted in Cali fornia thrived, but their fruit is used mainly for pickling. The small amount of olive oil this country produces is a by product of the black olive in dustry. Corn and cottonseed oil are big sellers in the U.S.A., but the first refined corn oil got off to a bad start in 1911. So many people remembered the objectionable taste of the first crude corn oil that salesmen -with portable stoves had to fry potatoes and onions in store demonstrations to estab tablish the refined oil as a quality product. Cottonseed oil for cooking was introduced commercially about 1S99 after a chemist, David Wesson, developed an odorless oil in his laboratory at the Southern Cotton oil Co., New Orleans. Mildest The mildest flavored are peanut oil, a long-time staple in the Orient, and safflower oil, now expanding from health food store distribution into supermarkets because of its importance in low-cholesterol diets. Safflower oil is made from seeds of a thistle like Old World herb whose flowers are used for fabric dyes. Some Africans cook with palm oil, extracted from date like fruit. Boiled palm oil is said to produce an agreeably flavored fat that resembles butter. Poppysecd oil Is in culinary use in parts of France, and sesame seed oil, In the Orient. The latter has a nuttv flavor. Walnut oil is used for Cir cassian chicken, a Turkish Russian dish of rnlH hnilcH chicken frosted with walnut paste and oil. The oil is sepa rated from the nutmeats by putting them through a food grinder five times. Whatever their flavor and health benefits, liquid oils lose the calorie count to most solid fats. The U.S. Department of Agriculture gives this calorie count per tablespoonful: but ter and margarine, 100; solid vegetable fats, 110; corn, cot tonseed, olive and soy bean oils, 125; and lard, 135.

Sewing Center Outlined For Homemakers In starting back - to school sewing, organize an area of the house as a sewing center so that interruptions don't to tally disrupt your sewing. This advice and ways to put it to use are given by Bernice Strawn, Oregon State univer sity extension specialist. Two out of five women make clothes for themselves and their families and nearly 70 per cent use a sewing ma chine. Surveys show that home sewing is done in many parts of the house. Usually the homemaker cuts out a gar ment on the dining table, presses on the ironing board in the kitchen or laundry, and sews in a bedroom, often poorly lighted. Sewing Center With some ingenuity, she can fit a sewing center into her home-and reduce extra footwork and inconvenience of putting away materials at each interruption. Home economists have found that the U-shape center is handiest. Floor space of seven by six and one half feet is quite ample. If you're right handed here's a suggested setup. Set machine against one wall. At right angles to the machine put an ironing board, on the left, and a chest of three or four drawers for sup plies on the right. Reverse the setup if left-handed. It helps to partition drawers for such items as pins, thread, fabrics and patterns. Plans for build ing a home sewing cabinet are available at county exten sion offices. Luxury For real luxury, a movable chair on casters at the sewing machine will enable you to do almost all work related to sewing without getting up, says the OSU specialist. In some homes, it works best to arrange sewing equip ment in an L-shaped center and fit it into a corner. If you don't have a good-sized cutting table, perhaps a piece of three by four by six ply wood could be placed on ta table or a portable folding cutting board be placed on a sewing chest.
