ICttTHE DISCOVERS
TO COOK MTU A FORD V-t
*
St. Louis, Mo. J— Roy P. Sutta
jrlin has learned how to cook with
i Ford V-8. .
Sutherlln, a Boi^Scout field
axeoutlTe In Miasmitt, cooks his
awn meals on his automobile eu
jflne while covering his territory.
"It's Simple," he said. "Wrap
a hot dog, steak or hamburger in
tin toil and place it on the motor
block. After a while you have the
meat well-done, rare or medium.

All you have to know Is the mile
age." •
The mileage part is v not so
simple. It took Southerlin months
to compute the heat of his en
gine and the cooking time for a
half-inch steak.
Now he could write an auto
mohile-englne cook book. In his
Ford V-8, for instance, it takes
about 100 miles of driving to
broil a steak. Hot dogs are ready
at 50 miles.
Sutherlin got the idea indirect
ly from the Boy Scouts he guides.
In his group they use the tin. foil
cooking method over hot embers
so they don't have to lug along a
frying pan on hikes.
I ^'One day," Sutherlin said, "the
idea struck me. I bought a steak
and some buns. I went to the
parking lot to get my car and
wrapped the meat in some foil."
He said he felt like a man
hiding the body when he fastened
the meat on the engine block and
slammed the hood. He was glad no
one saw him. He tried his steak
after about 7 5 miles. It was a bit
pare, but good. Experiments taught
him that 100 miles was perfect for
a half-ijnch thick steak in his car.
He tried to cook vegetables
on the engine but they wouldn't
respond. Now Sutherlin has
learned they can be cooked by at
taching a pot to the manifold,
which is hotter than the engine.
When he masters the mileage,
he will have vegetables bubbling
on his manifold and a steak siz
zling just above hsi carbureator.
Sutherlin cautioned motorists
who might like to try his idea to
keep the meat package away
from a sparkplug, or it will cause
a short.
That migh ruin a good steak,
or perhaps a good car.

Fresh Vegetables
Top List Of Foods
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture, announcing its plentiful
foods list for July, called the at
tention of shoppers to the wide
variety of fresh and processed
foods abundant on Southern mar
kets, Mrs. Annie H. Green, county

State College Extension Service,
said this week.
Fresh vegetables listed for July,
she said, include carrots, onions,
Irish potatoes, fresh corn, snap
beans, beets, cabbage, lettuce, and
tomatoes. -
The watermelon and canta
loupe season in the South will be
in full swing in July and picnic
planners can count on heavy sup
plies all during the month, Mrs.
Annie H. Green reported.
Broilers and fryers are still in
the plentiful class, as are dairy
products, hens, eggs, peanut but
ter, fresh and frozen fish, and ]
rice.
Local abailability of the foods
on the July plentiful list may very
rom area to area because of trans
portation and buying preferences,
but most markets in the South,
the home agent pointed out, will
have abundant supplies of the list
ed foods.
Shoppers who buy the season
ally plentiful foods will, as a
rule, find them the most economi
cal buys, she added.
More than 200 kinds of wildlife
thrive in the mountains Of West
ern North Carolina.
r
North Carolina has three hotels
that have been in continuous op
eration more than a century.
