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.
Walnut Pudding Is
Snoonod Into Glasses
Among the happy holiday
leftovers, you re likely lo nave
some walnuts and perhaps
some of those good dark or
golden figs that go into so
many fruit packs. If not, this
recipe makes It well worth
your while to buy some wal
nuts and or figs especially
for it.
Here is a new twist to an
old-fashioned baked pudding
that Is certain to please all
Tlie family. By serving it in

old fashioned glasses or other
fancy dishes, you've a fine
company dessert as well. It is
especially good when served

into a moderate oven just
before you sit down to dinner
so it will be ready at dessert
time. Eight servings.

to use bourbon in place of
the suggested rum flavoring.

thick and lemon colored. Stir

voring or three or four table
spoons of bourbon. Beat one

tive pitcher or a sauce boat.

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.
Grape-Avocado Combo
For a first course of dis
tinction, combine two cups
fresh green seedless grapes or
seeded grape halves, one cup
diced (one medium) ripe avo
cado and one - fourth cup
French dressing. Chill 30 min
utes. Line six sherbet or old
fashioned glasses with lettuce.
Place over each, one - half
cup grape and avocado mix
ture. Garnish with fresh par
sley. Six servings.

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.
