W ATKINS (Register and Tribune Syndicate, ?963) Colorful Bumblebee Lives Short But Very Busy Life There's a gay adventurer, armed with a flashing saber and wearing a bright colored sash, who pursues his rollicking way across the summer landscape, that very few people really know the bumblebee. If ever an insect could be credited with having a personality, that in sect would certainly be one. He's about the most interesting little vagabond you'll ever meet, and wherever flowers bloom, there he will be. This colorful little character has habits which are unbug-like, as he himself is unlike any other insect. Although he is a common oc cupant of fields and meadows, not too much is actually known about the life history of this happy wanderer. The bumble bee is the largest member of the bee family, and the one about which we know the least, probably because bumblebee honey is of no commercial Inv portance; neither does this in- sect offer any threat to man's food supply. Of course, some people are stung by this busy pollen gatherer, but usually it is the human's fault. Single Survivor Bumblebees live underground, in small colonies, one member of which, the queen, being the only survivor from one year to the next. It is she who has the responsibility of beginning a new swarm in the year which is to come. By that time all her former associates are gone; gone a long time before the time for the next egg laying. Bumblebees have fur - cover ed bodies; soft, silky fur, with about the same texture as a lady would demand in a fur coat. All female bumblebees sit on their eggs until they hatch. To make it all the more ridicu lous, the mother bee covers her new born with her body, just like a brooding hen. Unlike the honeybee that only Feeding the Family ZOLITA VINCENT Food Editor gathers nectar or pollen on a single trip, the bumblebee gath ers both at the same time. It is this yellow, golden pollen which will form an edible mat tress, on which the baby bees will feed, that was so thought fully provided by mother bee. The bee larvae will eat the nectar-pollen cake, and a few days later will build about them selves a silken cocoon. Later they emerge, little gray colored bumblebees, who will scamper under the furry underside of mother bee. Two days later bright orange bands will appear on the tiny gray bodies, and the young ones are ready for their short life in the summer sun. To die is the umhappy fate of all living creatures; the bumblebee hastens the end by working itself to death. Willingly they labor from dawn to dark; even at night if there is a moon. A few short weeks and the wings are ragged and torn. The bright colors have faded. The jaunty little vagabond has had its fling. All bumblebees, except the queen, die before tney are six months old. Gay and Happy During their short life they are gay and happy, with dapper coats. They seem always very sure of themselves and aware of their own importance. And they are important; without the help of the bumblebee there would be no red clover. Their home life has always been a secret, because they are savage in the protection of their home: thev have powerful sting ers, and can defend themselves against most any adversary. But what a hopeless life; they work themselves to death just so another generation can fol low, only to repeat the process, six months later. But, in that short six months, they have had all the instinctive knowledge possessed by all the millions of generations of bumblebees that have come and gone. Ways With Steak Ways with steaks are many and varied. Here are two most often served in the Vincent household. Lemon-Seasoned Steak. Sprin kle bottom of frying pan lav ishly with salt. Heat until a sprinkling of water spatters. Brown steak over high heat on both sides, turning only once, until desired doneness. Remove to warm plate. Add four to six tablespoons of butter and juice of one lemon to juices in pan. Simmer, stirring constantly, un til the thickness of steak sauce. Pour over steak. Serve at once. Cheesed Steak. Choose import ed Roquefort, west coast Lang lois or blue cheese; mash and add Worcestershire to taste. Broil steak. Just before it reaches desired doneness spread cheese mixture over top; sprin kle with freshly ground black pepper, return to broiler just until cheese is melted. Fresh Crab Buffet Plate The west coast is famous for its Dungeness crab . . . and one of the most delightful ways to present it to luncheon or supper guests is as the focal points of this buffet plate. Clean and crack crab or have your meatman do it for you. Place cracked crab in the center of a large chilled plate. Sur round crab with slices of avo cado, fresh grapefruit sections, thin slices of purple or white onions and tiny tomatoes or to mato slices. Serve with a choice of may onnaise, lightly salted and whipped dairy sour cream, and thousand island dressing. The only difficulty is in making the decision as to which dressing goes best with which of the other wonderful flavors on the buffet plate. Garlicked French bread is an ideal accompani ment. Plenty of paper napkins handy. Chicken Tarragon Succulent Dining Aromatic tarragon combined with white wine makes this chicken main dish one that will long be remembered and fre quently repeated. Its perfectly flavored light gravy goes best over fluffy hot rice well sprinkled with chopped green onions or chives. This recipe is for eight servings of truly suc culent dining. Broccoli or as paragus Hollandaise are favor ite vegetable accompaniments. 8 chicken drumsticks or thighs 4 whole chicken breasts, cut in halves Vi cud (1 stick) butter Vi to 2 cups sauterne or other white wine 2 tablespoons tarragon, cnjmbled Salt and pepper, to taste Melt butter in frying pan; add chicken pieces and brown thoroughly over medium heat. Cover and let simmer gently 10 minutes. Add crumbled tarra gon to white wine. Pour over chicken and continue cooking 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Remove chicken to warm plat ter; pour gravy into sauce boat for spooning over hot chive sprinkled rice. Citrus Fruit Dessert Choice One of the simplest of all des sert choices is also one that brings raves from guests who taste it for the first time. A light ending for dinner or as a dessert and coffee conclusion to an evening of cards, its just right tartness can't be beat. The daily-fresh bottled citrus fruits available in most markets are the perfect solution to not hav ing to peel and segment same. Chill a selection of citrus fruit segments. Spoon into sherbet or other attractive dessert dishes. Top with generous dollop of dairy sour cream. A cookie or two on the side and that is all there is to it. Poultry. Lamb, Beef, Seafood Headliners Broilers, fryers and stewing hens continue to top lists of best buys as Autumn rolls in. Tur keys of all sizes are excellent values; provide good eating in many ways. Price trend on eggs is seasonably upward. It will pay to look for specials in eggs as well as in other foods. Lamb and beef supplies are increasing right along bringing prices down a bit on choice and good grades for braising, stew ing and pot roasting; right where the best values always are found; same high quality protein and good flavor but cuts that require longer, slower cooking. Fish Story. Fine fishing in the super market with excep tional variety in fresh, frozen and canned items. Consider fish sticks, cod, flounder, halibut, rockfish, salmon, sea bass. Spiny lobster and shrimp, too, invite menu variety. Tuna, top sandwich favorite, is a fine value; seems a good idea to have half a dozen cans handy. Fruit Displays. The Late, Late Show of Summer Produce is on the fruit stands. Harvest of extra-late nectarines, peaches and plums continues. Summer varieties of avocados are on the wane, as are tender delic ious figs. Melons, those cool delights, are beyond their peak of abundance but good ones of all kinds are still available. Apples from the Pacific North west are piling high alongside earlier California varieties. Beautiful clusters of grapes in all their lovely colors and types are in excellent supply. Pome granates have put in their an nual appearance. Citrus fruits continue to be a good buy. Vegetable choice is practical ly unlimited. We mention these as menu reminders. Artichokes, green beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, corn, cucumbers, several lettuce varieties, green onions, radishes, dry onions, potatoes, squash va rieties. Tomatoes of excellent quality. New season sweet po tatoes and Winter squash beck' on. rife I i'7 ?K SEES VICTORY Former U. S. Sen. William F.

Winema Forest Is Open to Hunters KLAMATH FALLS All the Winema National forest will be open to deer hunters when the season begins Saturday, accord ing to Forest Supervisor Alex Smith. 'Fire danger is high again, in spite of the showers last week, and we urge all hunters to be careful with fire," Smith said. Permits to enter the Winema are not needed, except for the Cave Mountain burn area north of the Sprague River highway near Chiloquin. This part of tne forest is protected by KFPA. Permits to enter can be obtain ed at Klamath Falls or Klamath Agency.
