Begin the day with a breakfast of smoky sausage nectarine saute. The blue-cheesed fresh nectarine salad and compote are equally flavorsome menu additions. Recipes arc Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Food Editor Editor's not: Foods edi tor Zola Vincent ii on vaca tion. During her absence her column it being pre pared by her daughter Zo liia Vincent. Fruit of Ancient Worlds Revoluioniied for Consumer Nectarines, one of the world's most ancient, prized and perishable fruits, are now available fresh in markets from late June into Septem ber. Though their origin is shrouded In mystery, they ap parently grew in China cen turies before the time of Christ. Caravans brought them to the Near East where they flourished in fabled Per sian gardens as an exotic del icacy. Eventually this succu lent fruit found its way to the New World. Throughout their long his tory nectarines were highly perishable until shortly after World War II when horticul turists began to revolutionize the nectarine's perishable quality with the development of new varieties thus making this fruit more available yet maintaining and even improv ing on its delicate beauty and succulence. Old Wives' Tale Refuted. Even though authorities con tinue to discredit the "old wives' tale" Uiat nectarines are a crosn between peaches and plums some people con tinue to think they are. The important truth is that to day's nectarine is a fruit unto itself. Never fuzzy, it always has a smooth, almost silky skin, usually of high-colored red and gold. Sausage-Nectarine Saute Nectarines sauteed with smoky precooked sausage links in a spicy glaze are a breakfast treat well worth many repeats. Recipe Is for four servings; double easily for party brunch. 1 tablespoon butter or margarine . 1 pound precooked smoke sausage links 3 fresh nectarines 2 tablespoons lemon Juice 2 tablespoons brown su gar V4 teaspoon ground cinna . mon V6 teaspoon ground card- anion or ginger Melt butter In heavy frying pan.

Cook 5 to 10 minutes turning occasionally, until nectarines are hot and sau sages well glazed. Serve at once. Fresh Nectarine Compote Now is the hour to enjoy this delectable combination of nectarines, fresh or frozen raspberries and cantaloupe topped with a gingery whip ped cream dressing. Slice three or four fresh nectarines, enough to make two cups: combine with one cup fresh or one 10-ounce package frozen raspberries and one cup cantaloupe balls. Spoon into six serving dishes chill. Qombine one half cup whipping cream, two table spoons powdered sugcr and a dash of salt; whip until stiff.

Summertime Is Time To Aid Young Cooks many youngsters keep . Bounding their mothers to let I C them bake bread, cookies or cakes and make fudge. With out the hustle and bustle of school activities, summer is a wonderful time for mothers to come to the aid of young cooks who need just a little bit of supervision to give them a homemaking experi ence that will help them all their lives. The baking of bread is fre quently the first choice of pre-teen and teen-age girls. There is something fundamen tal about the feeling of knead ing the doughy the aroma of the yeast itself and best of all the seeming magic as the dough gradually fills the bowl. Then comes the taste thrill, the first piece of warm bread, well buttered and quickly devoured. The final thrill is father's praise lor a job well done and from then on likely to be repeated often for the pleasure of all. Basic Yeast Bread Once the are of making yeast bread is accomplished there are all sorts of possi bilities for cotfee cakes and sweet rolls. This basic recipe is for two loaves. 'A cup milk 3 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons salt 3 tablespoons - butter or margarine l'j cups lukewarm (not hot) water 1 package dry, or 1 cake compressed yeast 5'i cups flour (approxl-, mately) Scald milk; stir in sugar, salt and butter or margarine. Cool to lukewarm. Measure warm water Into large bowl. Sprinkle or crumble in yeast; stir until dissolved. Add luke warm milk mixture and three cups unsifted flour; beat un til smooth. Add enough addi tional flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto lightly floured board. ' Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8- 10 minutes. Form into smooth ball. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk, about one hour. Punch down. Let rest for IS minutes. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a loaf. Place each loaf in a greased loaf pan. Cover; let rise In warm plnce until dou bled in bulk, about one hour. Bake in hot oven (400 de grees) about 30 minutes. Main Dish Stand-by Stufied Green Peppers Green peppers stuffed with a hearty, well flavored beef filling make delightful main dish summer tare. They can be prepared In the cool of morning to stand by in the refrigerator until time for baking. However ns a re minder, baking time should be increased 10 minutes or so when stuffed peppers come right out of the refrigerator. Recipe makes six stuffed pep pers. l'j pounds ground beef 1 cup chopped onion 2 cups diced fresh toma toes 1 cup diced cooked po tatoes 2 teaspoons salt j 1H teaspoons chili powder ' teaspoon ground black popper fi medium green peppers 3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, molted Crumble beef into heavy skillet: add onion and cook together until onion is tender and meat no longer pink. Add tomatoes and cook five min utes. Stir In polatoos and seas onings. In the meantime, cut tops from green peppers. Re move seeds and parboil in boiling water five minutes. Remove from water and drain. Fill with the meal and vegetable mixture. Combine bread crumbs and melted but ter or margarine and sprinkle over peppers. Bake 35 min utes or until crumbs arc brown in a preheated moder ate, 375 degree, oven In a greased baking dish. Note: 'Frozen diced pol-i toes are now available in many markets. Ice Cold Lemonade Many think icy cold lemon ade the most refreshing of all summer beverages. Wheth er made fresh or from a lem onade concentrate, here are dress-ups for additional plea sure. One tablespoon crushed berries turns lemonade into a luscious pink color . For sweetening trick, try using honey in place of sugar in your standard lemonade. A light frosty soda is yours in a minute when you substi tute carbonated water for tap water in lemonade and add your favorite ice cream. Top off regular lemonade with a delicious sherbet for a delectable sparkling float.

AUGUST i. 1113 Balance-of-Paymenrs Deficit Easier To Record Than Control - B 3 Washineton-(CO)-Like the weather, politicians in Wash ington like to talk about the balance - of - payments prob lem, but none know quite what to do about it. Few real ly understand it. The payments deficit - re sulting from an imbalance in the international dollar flow - has plagued both the Eisen hower and Kennedy Adminis trations. Various remedies have been attempted, but with unimpressive Tesults. As a result, the payments deficit acts as a damper in the for mulation of other economic policy. In the eyes of some, it also raises questions of American solvency. Simply stated, the problem is that the U.S. spends more abroad for imports, travel, investment and government outlays than the rest of the world spends here. Broken into its separate elements, the problem is much more com plicated. Taking trade alone, for example, the U.S. has a payments surplus. It exports more than it imports, by the impressive sum of $4.8 bil lion. That many more dollars flow into the country as a result of trade than flow out. In many other categories -particularly foreign military and economic aid and private investment - the dollar flow is reversed: billions more go out than come in. The end product is the balance-of-pay-ments deficit, currently run ning upwards of $3 billion a year. Limits on Action . Although the payments defi cit has been a continuing wor ry since 1958. there are limi tations on what the govern ment can do about it. Inter national payments are the product of countless transac tions involving decisions by businesses, consumers, tour ists and investors - as well as governments. Short of im posing drastic restrictions on individual economic freedom, the government can go only so far in influencing the pri vate decisions that help make up the international pay ments account. Moreover, heavy restric tions might be unwise. If the government barred imports of iron ore (a dollar-loss item), this could deprive manufac turers of the wherewithal of making exports of steel (a dollar gain item). If it forbade short-term lending abroad (a dollar loss until the loan is repaid) this would deprive foreigners of a chief means of financing the purchase of U.S. ITAMP? m J3 am ft CM it ;.i-..i nvVi j ti ?r " PIGGLY WIGGLY l PIGGLY WIGGLY swtciM v wi civi ri!

If it clamped down , tightly on long-term investments abroad (a dollar loss), this would choke off dividend income (a substantial yearly inflow) and lead to fewer purchases of U.S. machinery (also a dollar inflow). As a matter of fact, In 1962 American investors received $3.3 billion more as income from investments abroad than foreigners received from investments in the U.S. - a hefty addition to the plus side in the payments balance sheet. And the investment itself does not mean a permanent dollar loss; someday it can be sold for a dollar gain, while pro viding dividends in the mean time. Government Spending In its own actions, the gov ernment is as inhibited by conflicting objectives as it is in dealing with private capi tal flows. A foreign aid grant (dollar outflow) often is used for the purchase of U.S. goods (dollar inflow). Fur thermore, the government, under both Democratic and Republican administrati o n s. has sought to provide aid to underdeveloped countries (more than $3 billion yearly in dollar outflow) as a mat ter of national policy. Other national policies include maintenance of adequate de fense forces abroad (more than $2 billion yearly in dol lar outflow) and continuing expansion of the world eco nomic system and world trade. Here the dollar is re lied on heavily for currency reserves and as the principle means of trade financing. Policy-makers do not feel these objectives can be sacri ficed in order to obtain a strict payments accounting. Instead, the emphasis has been placed on promotion of counter-measures which in crease the dollar inflow: sale of exports, encouragement of travel In the U.S. by foreign ers, a "Buy American" policy for foreign aid goods, enact ment of legislation to curb the dollar drain of overseas "tax havens." Gold Flow The trouble is, these meas ures have not done the trick. The payments deficit is run ning at $3.2 billion for 1963. up a billion dollars from 1962. ISTAMPd All of these dollars flowing out constitute claims against the U.S. Treasury. They pile up in central banks around the world (mostly in Europe), where they serve as currency reserves and exchange media But they can also be cashed in for U.S. gold, at one ounce for every $3S. Barring an economic scare, foreign banks would just as soon hold the dollars as cash them for gold, so the U.S. gold outflow has not equalled the balance of payments defi cit. The gold outflow is run ning at $400 million for 1963 This is less than half the eolrf flow in the precedine two years, but offers little cause for complacency with the pay- menu deficit increasing, and with enough dollars outside the U.S. already to bring chaos in the event of a gold run panic. Added up over the years, the payments dlficit now amounts to $16 billion, even after a payout of $8 bil lion in gold. Concern Reflected Two recent measures reflect Washington's concern over the payments problem. The Federal Reserve Board July 16 took steps to force up the interest rate on short term capital, so as to make it more attractive for American in vestors to keep their money at home and less attractive for foreign borrowers to come to the U.S. in search of short-term capital. Two days later President Kennedy pro posed a tax on Americans purchasing foreign securities or making long-term loans abroad, also designed to re duce the attractiveness of U.S. money-markets as a source of dollars for foreign Dorrowers. The long-range efficacv of either measure in solving the international problem remains to be demonstrated. Some economists feel the current U.S. deficit will work itself out in four or five years, but that more basic inadequacies will remain in the interna tional monetary mechanism. They urge that the U.S. lift its head from preoccupation with its own payments prob lem and work to devise a wholly new international pay ments system.

(UPI) Two Crushed In Escalator Camden, N.J. -IUPII- A Gar den State Park employee and his 10-year-old daughter were crushed to death in an escalator Wednesday as he showed the child around the race track in nearby Cherry Hill Township. The victims, John P. Sweeney, 56, Maple Shade, and his Daughter, Margaret, were killed in the mezzanine of the clubhouse section after riding the escalator up from the ground floor. Camden County Coroner Jules Shasshauser said the girl fell head first into an opening at the top of the moving stairs where a floor plate had been removed by a workman to make adjust ments. The workman was away at the time the Swee neys and a friend boarded the escalator. The child s body was crushed between the casing and the stairs. Her father went into the opening feet first in an at tempt to recue her.
