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. Add sausage links and
cook until heated through.
Slice unpeelcd nectarines
(their skin is tender and
sweet). Add to sausage with
lemon juice, brown sugar,
cinnamon and cardamon or
ginger. 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.
Fold in two tablespoons
frozen lemonade concentrate
and one tablespoon finely
chopped Crystallized ginger
dollup on top of fruit. Makes
six servings.
Nectarine-Avocado Salad
A taste-treat if there ever
was one.
Slice two or three fresh ncc
tarines. Cut one avocado
lengthwise Into halves; re
move seed and skin; cut into
lengthwise wedges. Sprinkle
with lemon Juice. Cut one-
half onion into rings. Divide
and arrange nectarines, avo
cado and onion on salad
greens for six portions. Com
bine one package blue cheese
salad dressing mix with
three-fourths cup dairy sour
cream or mayonnaise. Serve
with salad. Makes six serv
ings. 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.

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.

goods such as steel. 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.
