MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY. JANUARY 17. 1962 Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Thrifty Pork Cuti And Ways To Cook Them The fine distinctive flavor, the assured tenderness, the great variety of pork products and the year 'round supply make pork popular fare. Pork is in best supply during the Winter months and therefore a better buy at this season. Pork cuts have a new look these days. The fat is trim med so that only enough re mains for best t flavor and Juiciness. When you buy pork, look for firm pink lean meat with the new closer trim on the fat. There are eight or more basic cuts of fresh pork plus the local or regional cuts in the markets to contribute va riety to menus. Pork loin roasts may be loin end, cen ter cut and rib (or shoulder) end. When buying a pork loin, ask your meatman to cut the backbone almost free from the ribs. After roasting and before bringing the roast to the table, remove the back bone to simplify carving. The fresh picnic or pork shoulder is a meaty oven roast that weighs from five to eight pounds. Another juicy pork roast sometimes over looked is the fresh. Boston butt. The Boston butt is a good size for the smaller fam ily for though the average weight is foui to eight pounds, it often is cut into smaller roasting pieces. Most elegant of the pork cuts is the "crown roast." Rules for Roasting Fat side up. No cover. Oven temperature, 3 2 5 degrees. Cook- to the well-done stage. Follow these simple rules for roasting . pork whether you choose a loin roast, a fresh ham or a shoulder roast such as a picnic or a Boston butt. Any shallow pan may be used for roasting. If roast is a boneless one, it should be placed on a rack to hold the meat out of the drippings. A bone-in pork loin does not re quire a rack because the bones form the rack. You may salt the roast be fore or after cooking. Since salt penetrates less than one half inch into the meat, you may want to salt each serving of meat after it has been carved. All pork should be cooked lo the well-done stage to de . volop full flavor. However overcooking will cause exces sive shrinkage. If you have a meal thermometer, insert so that the bulb reaches center of the thickest part, being sure the bulb does not touch bone. When meat is done, in ternal temperature recorded on the thermometer will be 185 degrees. A four to five pound pork loin will roast at 325 degrees to the well-done stage in 3',4 to 3'2 hours. Company Roast. The whole fresh ham may range in weight from 8 to 14 pounds or it may be cut into the butt and shank halves to satisfy more shoppers wanting a wider weight range. The fresh ham makes a fine oven roast or it may be cooked on a rotisserie either in the oven or over charcoal. Pork Ribs. Gaining right along in popularity are the hack ribs, country ribs and spareribs. Back ribs and coun try ribs have a high propor tion of lean to fat. These cuts are often made from the fam lliar rib roast by splitting It diagonally through the bone and meat rib eye. This leaves a portion of the eye of the rib on the backbone and an equal amount of lean pork on the short-ribs. Sparcribs are cut from the pieces used for making bacon. All three types of ribs arc winter-time lavor- lies baked with a barbecue sauce, with sage-seasoned bread stuffing or with sauer kraut.

Accompaniments for Fresh Rpait Pork Seasonal abundance of pork with attendant lower prices put it in menus more often. Serve fresh roast pork with a sweet flavored vegetable or fruit but serve a tart flavored food as a- salad or relish in the same course. Suggested companion foods are: red cinnamon apples or pears: pickled peaches, apples, pears or orange slices; canned sliced or cubed pineapple; baked bananas; sptced prunes or apricots; Whole cranberry sauce, jelly or rensn. Suggested vegetables for enjoying with pork Include sweet potatoes, squash, peas, carrots, asparagus, onions, broccoli, celery, turnips, ruta bagas, parsnips and of course, potatoes. Pan - browned pota toes are much liked with pork roast. It is best to avoid two starchy vegetables in the same meal. Avoid sauces on the fruit and vegetables if these are used on the platter to garnisn the roast. Choose gay colors that make the platter picture- pretty. Roast Pork Leftovers It is difficult to decide which is better cold roast pork or leftover sliced roast pork reheated in leftover brown pork gravy. Hot roast pork sandwiches vie in favor with those of thin-sliced cold roast pork with a tart relish. Cut-up cold pork goes into casseroles and sandwiches; always with crisp pickles andor pickle relishes.

California Asks For Payment of Civil War Claim San Francisco - (UPIt - The state of California asked the, federal government Wednes day to pay off a $7.5 million claim on money spent for de fense during the Civil War at the urging of President Lin coln. State Atty. Gen. Stanley Mosk said 25 other states have been fully repaid for similar claims. The last was Nevada, which got $500,000 in 1929. Mosk said the infant state of California spent $4,420,891 to pay militiamen at the rate of $13 a month and to install 140 guns at the mouth of San Francisco Bay and on Alca traz Island. Troops in Los Angeles Some of the troops were stationed in the Los Angeles area, where a strong pro-Confederacy sentiment existed. Other units were used to put down a Confederate uprising in Texas and to re-open sec tions of the Overland Trail which were closed by Indians. Mosk said the difference be tween the money spent and the $7.5 million claimed rep resents interest paid on bonds which financed the state's ex pense. California still was pay ing interest on some Civil War bonds as late as 1945. The attorney general said Sen. Clair Engle (D-Calif.) was pressing the claim and that prospects for its payment are better now than ever before. Mosk also urged Sen. Spes sard L. Holland (D-Fla.) chair man of a subcommittee on ef ficiency and supplemental, to lake facorable action on the claim. It has been approved seven times over the decades by the U. S. Senate, but never re ceived approval of both houses of Congres s Morse Sees Third Force in Europe Washington-OIPD-Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) said Wednes day the United Slates is vir tually in the position of "pay ing for the privilege of re maining in Europe." It might be better all around," he said, "to consid er that the third force of Western Europe has arrived in world affairs and that the U.S. need not look any longer to its defense," Morse suggested a splinter ing of the NATO partnership in a speech to the Senate. "The alternative of a strong, unified Europe, free and clear of anything but his toric and cultural tics with the United States suggests it self to me as preferable for all our countries to a half hearted, fragmented, and di vided NATO toward which the United States is a dispro portionate contributor in mon ey, manpower and military reliance . . . , " Morse said.
