Festive Fruit Cakes
For Holiday Gifting
It is not a minute too soon to
begin preparation of festive fruit
cakes for gifting those special
far-away or nearby family
members and friends. Skillet
Fruit Cake such as we picture
today are rich in California
grown dates, other equally tasty
fruits and crisp almonds to
make a confection that will be
remembered far into the future.
When properly wrapped and
stored in the refrigerator their
keeping properties are prodi
gious since they will keep for
several months ... by the same
token, although these bits of
goodness slice better if allowed
to stand overnight or longer,
they may be cut and served
without aging.
This recipe makes three cakes
when baked in six-inch inexpen
sive iron skillets for which the
housewife will later find many
uses. Trim gaily with lacy
paper.
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
'i teaspoon baking powder
Vi teaspoon cinnamon
'.4 teaspoon nutmeg
Hi cups seeded raisins C4
pound)

other fruits and almonds whole.
Combine flour mixture with
fruit and nuts in a large bowl;
mix until fruits and nuts are
well coated.
Beat eggs with vanilla; pour
over fruit and nuts, mixing
until they are evenly moistened
and covered with a thin film of
batter. Spoon into three 6-inch
iron skillets which have been
lined with 2 layers of greased
brown paper and one layer of
waxed paper. Bake in a very
slow, 275 degree, oven for one
hour and 15 minutes. Cool in
pan. Wrap in foil or plastic
film and refrigerate until ready
to use.

Favorite Recipe from Jordan
The Hashemite Kingdom of
Jordan has a history that goes
back to the ancient times of
Moses and Moab. Its area of
37,300 square miles with a pop
ulation today of approximately
1,725,000 has been ruled by
many countries over the cen
turies. Today it is a constitu
tional monarchy with a bicam
eral parliament. Life in Jordan
is primitive with an estimated
50,000 nomads and 120,000 semi
nomads. At least 95 per cent of
the total area is desert.
However, as in all countries,
there are favorite recipes that
appeal not only to the "natives"
but to foreigners as well. Lamb
Rice Turnover is one of these,
according to Jordan representa
tives to the United Nations. We
are inclined to agree.

Fallout Shelters
For Dairy Cows
WASHINGTON (UPI) - If
someone on your Christmas list
I is a tanner who has every-!
thing I may be able to solve
your shopping problem.
The Agriculture Department's
research service has just come
up with an item that should
make an ideal gift for the hard-to-buy-(or
granger or husband
man. ! It's a fallout shelter for cows.
! Talk about agrarian status
symbols! 1 would rather have a
bovine fallout shelter than an
atomic-powered churn.
According to the department,
this type of shelter has a dual
function. It will provide fallout
shelter (or 50 cows. And in be
tween nuclear attacks, it can
serve as a dairy barn.
Shelters Farinci Also
The shelter also has space for
six people. This will, the depart
ment notes, "permit the dairy
man to care for his livestock
during a fallout emergency with
out leaving the barn."
The department, as you can
see, has thought of everything
except how the farmer is going
to deliver the milk.
Another new development by
the agricultural research center
also is designed to reduce dam
age from falllout, but of a some
what different type.
It is an improved floor for
turkey cages. The department
reports that it reduces from 10
per cent to less than 1 per cent
the number of shells that a tur
key cracks in laying eggs.
Still another development that
I found captivating is the re
search service's answer to the

eastern
part of the United
States.
The alfalfa weevil became
established in the East about
12 years ago and has been go
ing great guns ever since. It
has caused far more damage
than it ever did in the West.
Well, sir, one of the boys
down at the lab has figured out
the reason for this. It's because
the alfalfa weevil is not beset
by natural enemies as it is in
the West.
The department has moved
to remedy the situation by
bringing in anti-weevil insects
from California and other
places, including Europe. Should
be an interesting experiment.
I hope, however, that some
one at the department is giving
some thought as to how we are
going to get rid of the imported
insects once they have done in
the weevils.

Police To Query
Gunshot Victim
TURNER, Ore. (UPI) -Marion
County sheriff's deputies
hoped today to be able to ques
tion a Cloverdale man in con
nection with a gunshot wound
which shattered his upper lip
and tore off most of his nose.
Deputies said Simon Watson,
52. drove up to a Turner market
Wednesday and collapsed as he
got out of his car.
He was reported in fair con
dition following surgery at Sa
lem Memorial Hospital.
Deputy Sheriff John Wilkerson
said a 30-30 deer rifle, from
which one shot had been fired,
was found in Watson's car, but
that it did not appear Watson
had been shot inside the car.
Wilkerson said Watson's wife
and children were unable to ex.
plain the incident, and that Wat.
son apparently had been in good
health.
Watson was employed at a fir
tree farm southwest of here.

Nov. 8. He told agents his feet

said.
Jones was lodged in the in

Unique Species of
Animal Life Being
Found Off
CORVALLIS - Oregon State
University occanographers who
are making the first extensive
inventory of ocean animal and
plant life off Oregon are dis
covering some unique species
and recording scientific infor
mation that offers tremendous
potential and benefits for the
future.
Because so little work had
been done earlier, almost every
trip by the OSU oceanographic
vessel, Acona, produces some
"new - for - Oregon" species of
animal life fish, squid, shrimp
and plankton according to
Dr. William G. Pcarcy, who is
in charge of work on the small
swimming animals of the ocean.
More important, the oceanog
raphers are gathering detailed
information on the inler-rcla-tionships
between ocean water
and animal lite. They are ob
serving how the distribution of
species changes from season to
season; how the fish, shrimp
and squid migrate vertically
throughout the day, and what
the members of food chains
are. This will provide data on
the potential food resources of
tlie ocean.
Another Goal Noted
Another goal of biological
oceanography is to predict
movements and concentrations
of animals by knowledge of their
environment, such as tempera
ture, salinity, oxygen and the
production of their food
The project on small swim
ming organisms which are
intermediate in the food chain
between plankton and larger
fishes and whales is now in
its third year under Pcarcy's
direction. Collections are made
year round with midwater
trawls and large plankton nets
at locations extending up to 165
miles off Coos Bay, Newport
and Astoria. The upper 200

meters of ocean water are
sampled at night.
Recently, a species of squid
never before reported in scien
tific literature was collected by
the OSU oceanographers. It is
unique in that males of the
species lack "hooks" that are
standard equipment on the main
set of arms in squid. Females
of the species, oddly enough.
have the hooks, though weakly
developed.
Studies Are First
The studies bv Pearcy are the
first ever made on squids off
Oregon. Up to now, 17 different
species of squid have been
identified off Oregon by the
OSU researcher. Seven of the
17 species had not been report
ed earlier in the northeastern
Pacific Ocean.
Squids feed on fish and Crusta
cea and in turn are eaten by
many whales and other larger
fishes.
Pearcy has just been awarded
a $52,000 grant by National Sci
ence Foundation to continue his
project another three years.
Earlier work was supported by
the Atomic Energy Commis
sion. Journalism School
