12 A THURSDAY. AUGUST 23. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Youngsters Win Praise For Convenience Foods We pause in the middle of talking about August abun dance of practically every thing edible to encourage families to let the youngsters fill August leisure hours with pleasant pursuits certain to gain compliments. Young cooks today, with a little encouragement, have an exciting introduction to the kitchen. The packaged con venience foods now available enable them to make success ful dishes on the first try. There's nothing to compare with a little praise (or a lot of praise) from parents to en courage daughter on to more complicated dishes. Instant puddings are es pecially rewarding; are a standby in most kitchens for quick and easy desserts since they require no cooking and can be the basis for many desserts, A 6 or 7 year-old can coconut instant pudding. This requires only the beating of the pudding with milk for a minute according to package directions. With a sprinkling of nuts or chocolate bits as her "touch", she has a delightful and unusual dessert with real home-cooked flavor and con sistency. While Susan in our picture was pudding-making, she ventured further and also made the party - handsome Pineapple Upside-Down Cake and a batch of fresh Toasted Coconut Refrigerator Cookies. And here are her recipes: Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Gets Toasted Coconut Topping Melt one -half cup (one stick) margarine and spread evenly over bottom of 13x9'-x2-inch oblong pan. Sprinkle evenly with one cup firmly packed dark brown sugar. Drain 10 slices of pineapple from a No. 2 can, reserving 1 Tourists Best And Worst, Banker Says San Francisco-lUPII-A bank er confesses there arc four little words he can't stand: "Good old American money!" An odd comment from a banker? But this is a special sort of one. He is John Vigurs, a handsome, 35 -year -old bachelor who represents the Wells Fargo bank aboard the Malson cruise liner Mariposa. It's Vigurs' job to sell the currencies of Tahiti, Raroloo ga. New Zealand, Australia, Fiji and Samoa to passengers aboard ship. In his expeditions ashore, Vigurs sees flagrant displays of bad manners with money. Not necessarily on the part of his passengers, who are briefed in cruise talks about the various money customs they'll meet. The bad manners come mostly from Americans who are already at the ports of call. "America has the best tour ists," he says, "and we also have the worst. And one bad one can undo the good im pression of 20 others." The worst offenders, ac cording to Vigurs, are "those who wave dollars around like 'open sesame'." They're the ones who don't want to be bothered figuring out the lo cal currency. And they're the ones who brag how they single-handedly boosted that is land's economy with their "good old American dollars." make a dessert using toasted syrun for topping. Arrange pineapple slices on brown sugar mixture. Place one -half maraschino cherry, cut side up, in center of each pineapple slice. Decorate with pecans, if desired. Pre pare one package any favored yellow cake mix with eggs and water as directed on cake mix package. Spread batter carefully over pineapple top ping.

Add one package In stant Toasted Coconut Pud ding; beat with egg beater until well blended, about one minute. Whip one cup heavy cream; fold Into pudding. Chill about 20 minutes. As a matter of fact, this topping should be very good on any cake. Toasted Coconut Refrigerator Cookies Here a pudding mix is used as an Ingredient for cookies that come out of the oven soft and wonderful. Combine one-half cup (one stick) soft margarine, one- fourth cup sugar, one egg and one teaspoon pure vanilla ex tract, mixing well.

Shape and mold into a long smooth roll about 15 Inches long and l'4 inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate several hours. Cut in thin slices, about one-eighth inch thick.

New Ways for Enjoying Barllell Pear Abundance The Bartlett pears were never more luscious than those in today's market. Buy them firm-ripe and golden for use right away. For use later, select those that are still green and firm. If you want to use them in two or three days, leave them in the brown paper bag and let them stand in a not-too-warm place, 60 to 75 degrees, until golden. For most purposes, don't bother to peel the Bartletts. Their skins are so thin and tender that they all but dis solve in cooking For pears with chutney, mix one cup dairy sour cream, one-half cup chopped chutney, two tablespoons mayonnaise and a good dash of Tabasco; spoon over ice-cold pears on salad greens. A child's delight is made like this. Cook rice in water tinted pink or green with food color. Sweeten with honey and mound over pear halves. Dutch cabbage is good chill ed. Mix finely shredded cab- Senate Approves JFK's Farm Bill Washington-iUPIl-The Senate has passed a much-modified version of President Ken nedy's farm bill that would crack down on feed grain sur plus and impose more rigid curbs on wheat overproduc tion. The vote was 47-37. The measure now goe3 back to the House for action on Senate changes. The final ver sion probably will be worked out by a House-Senate confer ence committee. The legislation represents the administration's final hope for major congressional farm action this year. But it falls short of what Kennedy orig inally wanted-mandatory con trols on feed grains which the House killed earlier this year. As finally shaped by the Senate, the bill would extend the present "voluntary" pro gram of feed grain controls and support prices but carry a 0-to-90 per cent parity sup port price for corn the ma jor feed grain beginning in 1964.
