H Agent Soys Summertime Means Cantaloupe Time ?A ?V? * . '? S" ' By L. C. COOPER Agri. Exten. Agent A fine cantaloupe Is charac terized, not by its bouquet, but also by the bold netting cover ing the skin. This netting should be gray and coarse. The stem end of the cantaloupe should show a smooth, shallow de pression ? another sign that it was picked at maturity. Such symptons are typical of the de licious cantaloupes produced In Warren County. However, the appeal of canta loupe is international. The English enjoy theirs sprinkled with sugar and salt. In India, it's served seasoned with ground ginger. The Italians make a little feast of the can taloupe when they embellish it with a thin slice of ham, pro sciutto, and garnish it with a wedge of lime. Most Americans like their cantaloupe "straight." Some salt it, a few salt and pepper it. There are so many ways to enjoy canta loupe and for dieters it's a real treat. Although half a can taloupe is 5 inches in diameter and contains a slim 37 calor ies, this luscious fruit provides more than the daily recom mended allowance of Vitamin A for an adult, and 85% of the Vitamin C, plus minerals. Do You Know The Answers? True? or False?Oneof the signs of ripeness in the cantaloupe "is fragrance? True. "The can taloupe is a member of the muskmelon family? True. All cantaloupes are muskmelons, but not all muskmelons are cantaloupes? True. The "true" cantaloupe va riety of muskmelon is grown in Europe and Is not known In America. In America "canta loupe" has become the generic name of the small, oval, heavily netted musk-scented melon. The muskmelon family In cludes, not only the succulent cantaloupe, but also the honey dew, cranshaw, Persian and casaba. Between now and the end of September, with a peak season during August, cantaloupe will be in good supply. Melons are harvested when "firm - ma ture." This means that sweet ness has been fully developed, but the flesh is still solid enough to withstand shipment. For this reason, it is best to buy can taloupes a day or two before you plan to serve them. Keep two or three on hand at home, so that you can "condition" them Let succulent and fra grance develop at room tem perature, then, If necessary, refrigerate them until ready to serve. For best flavor, serve cantaloupe chilled. DECORATING MAGICIAN Mrs. Greek Underwood of the Sunny View Community, Polk County, is a magician, reports Anna J. Fitzgerald, home economics Extension agent. For she can make a plain iced cake become a bud ding flower garden or a child's fairy land by using a quick twist of the wrist. Recently Mrs. Underwood taught nine other homemakers some tricks of the cake decorat ing trade, the agent adds. In Memoriam In memory of Mrs. Mary Carroll Hunt, who died on July 7, 1969, and whose funeral took place at Mt. Airy Baptist Church, Washington, D. C? with Interment In Laurel, Md., on July 11. MRS. MARY CARROLL HUNT The late Alfred and Sallle | Russell Carroll gave birth to their ninth child, on April 19, 1922. The Car rolls named their blessing, Mary Alfred. Mr. Carroll felt that his name, Al fred, was an appropriate name for a very welcomed daughter. Indeed, it was an appropriate name because Mr. Carroll had only a few years to know Mary, since he too passed at the age of forty seven. Nonetheless, Mary developed splendidly In a Christian atmos phere. Mrs. Sallle Carroll's de meanor Inspired Mary to the completion of elementary, sen- : lor high and the DeSchaza Beauty Culture School, In Dur ham, North Carolina. But the mother's Inspiration did not stop short ai the attendance to secular training alone, for Mrs. Carroll knew that Mary was not complete as a person until she received God's training. And Mary came to know that God awarded the highest degree when she gave and accepted God's love through baptism. Her work in the Sunday school can yet be recalled. On October 24, 1944, Mary began a new life as Mrs. Georg e Lee Hunt. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt resided In Mont clalr, New Jersey, for a brief period before moving to Wash ington, D. C. in 1940. It was here in Washington, D. C? that Mary and George were blessed with two children: Mr. Blake McQuinn and Miss Brerda Ranola Hunt, ft was also hare In Washington that Mary exhibited a sense of clvlc mlndedness and actively parti cipated in organised neighbor hood efforts to improve her community. With a timely sarnie of equa bility, diligence and tore, Mary shared her energies with all who knew her. undeniably, Mary eootribeted beauty and well-being to others about bar. Both qualities reflecting, as It should be God's love for man. 'v'lThsra never was, there is not now and there never will be any as to why Mary was MRS. MARY CARROLL HUNT this vale of earth is not with out issue . However gloomy, since it does in fact guide man to a happiness that exist only on a higher level than that of this earth. It is clearly a matter of record that Mary knew that disease as well as health has its relation to our fortunes. That man's weakness is an organic part of his strength, that the world is no more all light than it is all shadows: and all human life, with its suffering as well as its happiness, is one, and every sincere human experience bears its own weight. That as Dr. Martin Luther King as serted: "Nothing is gained in hate: love or perish." Thus, it is clearly a matter of record that Mary will never perish in our hearts as she too car ried the banner of love. And so, Just as there is a time to experience laughter, there is a time to witness mourning. The language of Keats seems so appropriate, where it is said: "Come then, sorrow, sweetest sorrow Like an own babe I nurse thee on my breast 1 thought to leave thee But now of all the world, I love thee best" We are here and Mary is gone, but who is the most for tunate? la it not true that Mary has put some things behind her? We yat face these matters. New, universal and more liber al concepts have establiMied themselves around and within Mary and Mm now lives with the license of the divine wilL You and I have yet to get that license. And in that new life, is It not true that solitude is no longer solitude, poverty no longer pov erty, weakness no longer weak ness, bet strength of charac ter is Sow ever greater strength of character.
