PAGE FOUR THE TRANSYLVANIA TIMES, BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1953 THE WOMEN’S Page ☆ FEATURES * NEWS * HOUSEHOLD HINTS All Of Interest To The Feminine Folk Of Transylvania County Poor Diet Is Cutting Span Of Life For Millions A well-known nutrition expert, Dr. Charles Glen King, of New York, warns that poor diet is cut ting the life span of millions of Americans. He adds it is a tragedy that the people of the presumably best-fed nation of the world should be prey to dietary deficiencies that have such serious consequences. Dr. King—scientific director of the nutrition foundation — blames the trouble in overindulgence in food and drink and underindul- ;gence in foods that supply vita- iinins, minerals and good quality proteins. As a result, he believes 'that some twenty million or more Americans are shortening their lives, handicapping their health and running the risk of contracting -destructive diseases. He urges Americans to eat wise ly and well, making intelligent use of the good food that is available. Specialists at Cornell university are of the same opinion, and they think one of the big mistakes made by most Americans is the habit of skipping breakfast. Most folks try ing to lose weight either skip breakfast or have a skimpy one— fruit juice, toast and coffee, con taining fewer than two hundred calories. They point out you don’t NOTICE County Privilege UCENSE TAX Following is a partial list of busi nesses, services, or sales which are taxable under the State Revenue Act by the County of Transylvania and are required to have Privilege License or Schedule “B” Permit be fore operating such business.

The zippered covers strip off in seconds when the couch becomes a bed. The frame is solid ash and birch woods, steam bent to assure the permanence of the shape. Finish is natural. win, because by the middle of the morning you’re probably hungry, and indulge in a calorie laden mid morning snack. The Cornell specialists recom mend this type of breakfast: fruit juice, an egg, toast with butter and a glass of whole milk. Such a break fast contains about four hundred calories. The whole milk and butter and the egg are important, because they contain protein and fat that stave off mid-morning hunger pangs. And—a word to the wise— check with your doctor before you begin a reducing diet. When the first warm days arrive, nothing tastes better than cold, cold salads, no matter what the rest of the meal. So make it easy on yourself and plan a sandwich and salad supper with iced tea or lemonade and a fresh fruit des sert. Lots of time for gardening or the last odds and ends of spring cleaning. Here’s a supper salad that’s good alone, and better served in tomatoes. You just quarter the to matoes almost through the base and spread apart, then heap the salad in the center. Serve in a hur ry while it’s crisp and cold. Deviled Cabbage— Cucumber Salad 3 hard boiled eggs 1 tbsp. melted butter or marg. 1 tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. dry mustard 2 tsps. salt ^ tsp. black pepper 3 tbsps. vinegar cup light cream 4 cups finely shredded cabbage 1 cup pared diced cucumbers 2 sliced green onions Cut eggs in half. Set aside whites. Mash yolks, blend in butter, sea sonings, vinegar and cream. Chill. Shred cabbage, add cucumber and onion. Slice egg whites thin. Add to vegetables, then add dressing. Toss until well mixed. Season to taste. Serve in salad bowl, lettuce cups or tomatoes. Sprinkle top with papri ka. Serves 4 to 6. Another day, another salad. This one’s not quite so hearty, but crisp, tart, and fresh tasting. Prepare it early in the day and avoid the last minute rush. Crisp Vegetable Molds 1 envelope unflavored gelatin 1-4 cup cold water 1 1-4 cups boiling water 1 tsp. salt 1-2 cup sugar 1-4 cup lemon juice 1-4 cup vinegar 1 small onion, grated 1 cup shredded cabbage 2 tbsps chopped green pepper 1-2 cup julienne carrots 1 cup chopped celery 1-4 cup sliced stuffed olives Soften gelatin in cold water for five minutes. Dissolve in boiling water. Add salt, sugar, lemon juice and vinegar. Stir well. Chill until syrupy. Add remaining ingredients. Ladle into oiled molds or a shal low pan. Chill until set. Serve on crisp greens. Serves 6. C OOKS’ ORNER -BY- ADELAIDE VAN WEY There are certain foods that we all remember nostalgically. Maybe it’s the doughnuts your grandmoth er made, or the pork chops cooked a certain, special way by your mother that remain in your mem ory. Old fashioned taffy and the fun associated with “taffy pulls” may haunt you and make your mouth water. Corn on the cob sticks in my memory and tingles my taste buds at the mere thought. No, not just any corn on the cob, but a super-special kind, Golden Bantam is the name and there is no better eating. Corn must be cooked just right to taste as it should, A plunge into boiling wa ter, to which a couple of table spoons of sugar has been added, and boiled for around ten minutes makes the corn food of high order. Don’t over-cook and do serve it with plenty of butter. And, sissy though it may sound, the little spear holders for corn on cob save sensitive fingers and prevent spot ted clothes. Frozen corn is good too, but nothing quite equals fresh young Golden Bantam. Comes a time when we all long for something different in the food line. Why not try a deli cious rabbit? Louise G. DeLong sent me a wonderful rabbit reci pe given her by Mrs. M. C. Bige low and 1 want to pass it on to you. 1 frying domestic rabbit 2 medium onions 6 strips sliced bacon Place three slices cut up bacon on bottom of Dutch oven or chicken fryer. Cut rabbit into pieces as for frying. Dip pieces in cold water and while good and wet place on top of bacon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place three slices of bacon cut into me dium pieces over rabbit. Next cover with onions cut into small pieces. Keep covered tightly and cook slowly for an hour. Test for doneness; cook longer if neces sary. This makes a different and tasty dish. I heartily recommend it. s I have another recipe I want to pass on to you. This recipe comes from that well-known painter, Rob ert Roche. I heard Robert give a most interesting lecture while I was in New York. This artist is a great portrayer of Americana and his lectures on the importance of art in everyday living are fascinat ing. Robert Roche’s hobby is cook ing and with Cooks’ Corner in mind I asked him for one of his special ties for this column. Spaghetti Sauce 1 cup tomato juice 2 cans tomatoes 2 cans tomato paste 2 large onions chopped fine 2 tbs. curry powder 2 tbs. horse-radish 2 lbs. ground beef 4 tbs. olive oil 1 bell pepper chopped fine 1 tsp. oregano In deep pot cook onions in olive oil until transparent. Add ground beef and stir until meat is well browned. Add all other ingredients and keep stirring until all are blended. Keep heat low and let sim mer for two hours. Add more to mato juice if mixture becomes too thick. Serve spaghetti, noodles or rice. That’s mighty good eating, Robert. I gave him my recipe for a pungent sauce in return. There is .no such thing as an all-purpose bought salad dressing unless the buyer is prepared to blend other things with it to match the meal. Smart cooks take a prepared dressing, en hance or modify it with herbs, wine or plain cider vinegar, mus tard, sweet basil, tarragon and other odds and ends and produce noteworthy salads. For example, add a little sugar to basic French dressing when used over tomatoes; add crumbled blue cheese for an all-green salad, minced chives, chopped pickles, mashed garlic, crumbled bacon. Those ought to spark your imag ination. Do try new combinations for your salads, too; orange slices and thin sweet onion rings are a Popular Fabrics Are Ones Which Need No Ironing Textile and clothing specialists say that every day more new and fashion-wise fabrics are appearing in blends, combinations and one hundred per cent fabrics of the va rious fibers. The newer man-made fibers still are in short supply, but they’re proving very popular and the demand for them is great. The top favorites seem to be the new fabrics that need little or no ironing. What work and time sav ers they are for the homemaker when she is taking care of the fam ily’s clothing. Such materials are worth looking forward to, especial ly during the hot summer months. These fabrics are big favorites in the field of sleeping and lingerie garments for all ages. Cotton plisse or similar crinkled textures are most commonly used. However, the no-iron garments for the small fry include not only slips and sleeping garments but dresses and play clothes as well. We cannot talk about easily cared for fabrics without including the nylon fabrics, of course—especially nylon tricot. We are accustomed to the nylon tricot slips and sleeping garments. And now more nylon tri cot blouses are appearing on the market. Blouses of many of the other new fibers, such as dacron and orlon, may also cut down on the time spent in laundering. real treat. Pickled sliced beets bedded in greenery topped with grated egg taste fine. Don’t de spise the humble cooked green bean salad, for properly “dress ed” it can be a real star. Try your lowly green beans with crumbled, cooked bacon and a simple French dressing. I’ve used it hot as well as cold and most folks asked for seconds. Thought for Food From My Red Rocker: This is to remind you that salt should be on your mind and in whatever you are making. Don’t forget that all sweet dishes need salt, and no chocolate creation is worth its salt if the salt is left out. Let’s dine—not just eat—Good artietite! CAKE ICING For a new—and delicious—filling to put between layers of devil’s food cake, try combining finely chopped raisins and walnuts mix ed with thick sour cream. It’s so rich and good no frosting is needed. SAY—I SAW IT IN TBE TIMES GENERAL MOTORS LOWEST-PRICED EIGHT! \aMae When it comes to value in a car, look no further than Pontiac—A General Motors Masterpiece! Here’s a brilliant performer with a high - compression eight-cylinder engine full of eager pep for traffic, wonderfully economical on the open road. Pontiac is a striking beauty! No car in America is more distinctively styled than a Dual-Streak Pontiac. And what a buy it is! For all its size, roominess and 122-inch wheelbase, Pontiac is priced right next to the lowest. It’s not only GM’s lowest-priced eight, but is also offered with a remarkably economical sixnt even lower cost. It all adds up to this: As an eight or as a six, dollar for dollar you can’t beat a Pontiac. Gome in and see for yourself I Goodwill Motor Company, Xnc. S.
