Steamed pudding made with squash or pumpkin i> a delightful
and aaUafying winter detaert
By CECILY BROWNSTONE
Associated Pmg Food Editor
A real winter delight, to our way
of thinking, is a hearty steamed
pudding. If you agree, try our
steamed harvest pudding recipe.
It has fine flavor and is wonder
fully satisfying.
It's delicious made with canned
pumpkin; or make it with squash
and its texture will be lighter than
the pumpkin variety. We tested
the pudding recipe with several
brands of frozen squash as well as
with the home-cooked vegetable.
All work out well.
Hard sauce is always in order
with steamed pudding. We like to
add an egg to traditional hard
sauce, as we do in the following
recipe. .
Use half the sauce with the pud
ding, then add extra confectioners'
sugar to the remainder and stuff
prunes with it. Youngsters will en
joy Um prunes as an after-school
treat,. or serve them to oldsters at
the bridge table.

Retired veterinarian Invents Better
Desilter tor Nation's Big Reservoirs
Here b the model of * proposed desilting device which ?u tested
?t Oklahoma MM. Engineers said it worked as a model and hope
it would work full scale. Water Hows against the baffles (bottom
to top ia the picture). Silt is washed into central pipe and carried
below dam.
By GENE KINNEY
Oklahoma City (AP)? A retired
veterinarian thinks he has the an
swer to the problem of silt filling
up the huge reservoirs built all
over the country in recent years.
Dr. George N. Russel offers a
desilter which he estimates would
be worth millions in prolonging
the life of the multiple-purpose
projects. He proposes to trap the
silt at the head of the lake, divert
it (through a conduit on the lake
floor and empty the mud below the
dam.
Bonus Features
Dr. Rusael says his desilter will
not only prolong the life of a reser
voir almost indefinitely ? but has
two bonus features:
1. Curbing upstream deposits
which fill the river channel and
cause lowland flooding.
2. Dumping diverted silt below
the dam to fill in the erosion chan
nel often dug by water rushing
from hydroelectric power turbines.
And the amateur engineer has
the backing of reputable profes
sionals and solid laboratory suc
cess for his claims.
John H. Dawson, associate pro
fessor of civil engineering at Ok
lahoma AAM College, said the
model which be tested recently
caught 98 per cent ?f the sand and
M per ceat of the sUL
The metal traps, were 12 Inches
by MM inches in the experimen
tal model. There were settling
basins to eatch suspended material
which was washed through a con
crete pipe downstream.
Stream conditions were dupli
cated as nearly is possible. The
professor said various kinds of sand
and silt were placed on the Inlet
pan and washed into the desilter
ander Afferent rates of flow.
Tbe, result, he said in a formal
RfUEF AT LAST
NrYMrCMGN
report, was complete substantiation
of Dr. Russel's theory. Further
more, the desiltcr cleaned itself by
the flow of water.
Dawson photographed every
stage ^f the experiment. In an in
terview later, he said, "It's the
first I've seen that's likely to work
on a large scale. I've talked with
several hydraulic engineers and if
there's anything wrong with it, we
can't find it."
Dr. Russel said he had also re
ceived favorable reaction from en
gineers at the University of Okla
homa, Texas A&M and the Uni
versity of Klnsas.
"Every one of the engineers be
lieves my dtsiltcr will do the job,"
he said.
Leslie E. Hamilton, a consulting
engineer on such big dam projects
as Bull Shoals (Arkansas), Table
Rock (Missouri), Fort Gibson (Ok
lahoma), Whitney (Texas), Nor
fork (Arkansas), and Denison on
the Red River between Oklahoma
and Texas, gave his stamp of ap
proval, Russel said.
But a full-scale test is yet to be
made on the patented device. The
hitch is money. Prof. Dawson esti
mated the cost of installing a de
silter on a major project would be
one to two million dollars ? only
a fraction of the outlay for most
dams these days.
Russel predicts his invention will
get a test under actual conditions
within a year or so.
"If it should work, and I think
it will,'1 Dawson said, "it would pre
vent lake dredging, save old pri
mary dam sites by prolonging the
life of reservoirs, and save having
to build other dams on poorer
sites."
