Feeding the Family
ZOLITA VINCENT
Food Editor
Writing Feeding the Family
was one of Zola Vincent's great
est pleasures as it was my
pleasure to be Mother's associ
ate and to work with her over
the 14 years "Feeding" has
been in existence. A long-time
friend of ours said to me re
cently, "Your Mother never ate
... she always dined." A truism
for sure. She considered food to
be an integral part of hospi
tality, and that, no matter how
simple, it should be thoughtfully
prepared and attractively served
whether she was dining alone
or as a compliment to her
guests.
In her memory, this week I
am presenting some of her fa
vorite recipes and ways with
foods. Many will be recognized,
I am sure.
Make-Ahead Appetizers
For Easy Hostessing
As Fall progresses into Winter
the pace of entertaining gets
faster and hostesses increasing
ly interested in make-ahead-of-time
foods such as these rich,
mellow, molasses-flavored Appe
tizer Spareribs and Meal Balls.
They can be prepared well in
advance and stored in the
freezer. The two meats are in
expensive, yet the finished prod
ucts are flavorful, satisfying and
elegant.

Confirms Pistol Carrying
McDowell's attorney, Jack
Young of Jackson, confirmed
for the first time Wednesday
that his client did carry a pistol
to class but indicated he did so
with good reason.
"There is no denying that
McDowell had the pistol,"
Young said. "There were cer
tain c i r c u m stances which
prompted him to carry it."
However, neither Young nor
McDowell would reveal the cir
cumstances. Young said it had not been
decided whether McDowell
would show up for a justice of
the peace hearing in Oxford
Saturday to face charges of car
rying a concealed weapon. Mc-
Evers praised the council for
recommending to university au
thorities that McDowell be ex-
cials "merely upheld the law."
"If every Negro was given as
equal a chance as Cleve was
given," Evers said, "then they
wouldn't be afraid to go to court
in Mississippi."
He singled out Champ Ter
ney, president of the council
and a son-in-law of Sen. James
O. Eastland (D-Miss.) for spe
cial praise.
"He showed the respect that

Ford cars have changed. Only a test drive can tell you how much.

bred into oiir 1964 models the kind of total performance you just cant
create on the (est track alone. They arc hard-muscled, last-moving",
sure-rooted. Open competition helped make them that way.
