The time has come to take the picnic baskets out to the shady glen or under the old oak tree in the back yard and let the outdoors spread its Inimi table seasoning to savory-cooked foods. Why not plan to eat out- ioors at least once a week this lummer? , Eating out doors will get Mother jut of the sweltering kitchen for at least two hours; it will give Dad time to contemplate the beauties of nature; and it will give youngsters a chance to catch up on out-of doors secrets. Outdoor eating is spoiled if there’s too much fuss connected with it. so plan everything as simply as pos sible. The family will enjoy nib ling on a chicken leg with their dngers much more than trying to :arve a piece of pot roast for every bite they take. If they don’t want to wrestle with salads, take along whole fruits like oranges and to matoes, pears or grapes, or such things as carrot sticks and celery hearts and let them get their vita mins that way. If it’s pie or cake for dessert they like, bake and leave in its pan, as it’s easy enough to place that in a box and slice as it’s needed on the picnic. Here’s an unusual way of prepar ing potato salad that’s both flavorful and easy to make. If you are hav ing a light supper, you won’t need extra meat: Hot Potato-Sausage Salad. (Serves 6) 1 pound sausage links 6 medium-sized potatoes cup minced onion % cup vinegar ' 3 tablespoons water 2 teaspoons sugar % teaspoon salt Pare potatoes and cook. Drain and cut in t4-inch squares. Place sausage links in skillet and add a small amount of water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes. Drain off re maining water and cook sausage over low heat, turning to brown evenly. Remove links from pan. Add onion to drippings and brown. Add vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Stir and cook about 10 minutes. Pour over potatoes. Top with sau sage links. Lynn Says: Sandwiches for Summer: Nut bread tastes mighty good when spread with orange marmalade, currant jelly and a grated rind of lemon mixed with cream cheese. Or mix chopped, cooked fruits with cream cheese and spread on date bread. Date paste or mixed dried fruits ground into a paste and mixed with cottage cheese offer a taste treat on raisin brown bread. Cut peeled cucumber very fine, mix with mayonnaise and give it a dash of onion juice and spread on thin slices of white bread. You’ll also like these combi nations: cottage cheese with grated carrots, apple butter with raisins and chopped nuts; cream cheese with finely ground, hard-cooked egg and minced green pepper. Cottage cheese mixed with ripe olives or green stuffed olives gives an attractive color to pin wheel sandwiches. Sweet salad desserts are excel lent for strictly feminine lunch- « eons. Diced canned cling peaches plus assorted fruits, frozen in gelatin-thickened whipped cream, are tops. For enmyable eating, include shiny black olives in your picnic lunches. To keep them shiny and to prevent shriveling, roll them in a few drops of olive oil or salad oil and wrap them in wax paper. Lynn Chambers’ Menus Outdoor Menu Fried Chicken Potato Salad Carrot Sticks Whole Ripe Tomatoes Bran Bread and Butter •Hot Milk Cake Beverage •Recipe given Fried Chicken. Cut chicken into serving pieces. Chicken may be dipped in seasoned flour, conn meal and flour, or cracker crumbs or flour. If a heavier coating is desired, dip in egg, beaten slightly, then in flour coating. Use heavy skillet and have 3 to 4 inches of fat in it. Fry chicken on both sides untU golden brown. When browned, turn fire down very low and allow chicken to cook until ten der—from 30 to 60 minutes depend ing upon size of the pieces and age of chicken. Or, if desired, finish cooking in a moderate (350*) oven. If you prefer your chicken in a loaf, bake it and when ready to serve your picnic lunch, slice it from the loaf for sandwiches, or serve with tossed salad: Chicken Loaf. (Serves 8 to 10) 4 to 5 pound chicken, cut in pieces 1 small carrot 1 small onion 2 stalks celery 1 clove 3 peppercorns 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups bread crumbs 1 cup cooked rice 1% teaspoons salt 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento 3 cups chicken broth, milk or both mixed 5 eggs, beaten Place chicken in large kettle and add carrot, onion, cloves, pepper- corns and salt. I Cover with cold k water and sim ’ mer until tender, about 2 hours. Strain chicken stock and let chicken cool. Combine diced chicken with remaining ingredients. Add more seasoning if desired. Place in a deep loaf pan and bake in a moderate (350-degree) oven for one hour or until firm. A good salad to take in a well chilled bowl to the picnic grounds is this one that is light but chewy and rich in vitamins: Tonic Salad. (Serves 6.) 2 cups cabbage, sliced fine 1 cup grated carrot 1 cup chopped tart apple Vi cup chopped green pepper 1 small onion, minced Moisten all ingredients with a lit tle salad dressing. Salt, if desired, and serve cold. A delicate yellow cake that is made in a square pan is another easily transported item. Ice this with a little orange powdered sugar icing or a chocolate frosting: •Hot Milk Cake. 2 egg whites, beaten stiff 2 egg yolks, beaten light 1 cup sugar 1 cup flour 1 teaspoon baking powder Vi cup hot milk 1 tablespoon butter, melted Add yolks to egg whites, then blend sugar in slowly. Fold in flour which has been sifted with baking powder, then lastly add the butter. Bake in a square pan in a moderate oven for 25 to 30 minutes. When a) cool, ice with: Chocolate Frosting. 2 squares chocolate 1 tablespoon butter J 4 cup rich milk Powdered sugar Melt chocolate with milk and but ter. Add enough powdered sugar until frosting is of a spreading con j sistency. Flavor with vanilla. This will keep soft and smooth. Released by Western Newspaper Union. THE BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS Art Club—Ceramics “Just mud”! Yes and no! Not the kind of mud that we are said “to sling”. This is supposedly the prerogative of politicians. But “glorified mud”, mud touched by the skill of creative genuis. “Hath not the potter power over the clay, from the same lineup to make one part a vessel unto honor and another unto dishonor? “Ro mans 9:21- Can pottery speak Yes, but not in our language. It is “eloquent” in a language that all who wish may understand. Knowledge of “ceramics” can have a direct bear ing on a much disputed climaitie theory. This will be mentioned later. Traiss-Jordan is now of great interest, with the Palestine ques tion at the forefront of the news and, especially, since the 63 year old Emir of Traiss Jordan, Abdul lah lon Hussein, elevated himself to be king by permission of the British. Amman, his sun baked capitol, is the Rabbath. Ammon of the Bible. This 35,000 square mile territory is rich in historical and archaiological treasures. Nelson Glueck, director o f American School of Oriental Re search. Jerusalem, thinks that the Nabateau civilization was in many ways the finest of all those which rose and fell in Traus-Jordan. Ex tensive commerce was carried on by them with Arabia and Syria. Gaza was the seaport, from which the vessels carried their merchan dise to Rhodes, Italy. Alexandria and other places on each side of the Mediterranean. At least 1,500 Nabatean watch towers, fortres ses, villages and cities have been discovered, recognized as Nabat ean by the evidence of their pot tery made of finely levigated clay. The color ranged from reddish brown, to red, to drab, between layers of red-brown or red. It is unbelievably thin. There are very fragile cups, saucers, shallow dishes, jugs, and bowls of most delicate ■workmanship. There is said to be no traceable affinity with any other pottery in the painted designs on some- The stylized floral or leaf patterns in solid red-brown color are super imposed on very delicate parallel lines, stylized, representive veins of leaves. In 106 A. D., the Romans under Trojan conquered Traus-Jordan. The discovery of the long line of early bronze age settlements throughout the length of this country authenticates the general validity of the back ground of the length of the land several Eastern Kings who swept through (Genesis 14, which tells of the centuries before the 20th century, 8.C., about 4,000 years ago. For better protection from enemy invaders, settlements were usually located on a hill or some rise of land, and surrounded by a fortification wall. When any set tlement was destroyed, regardless of the cause, the people that came later built for the same reasons on exactly the same place- These sel dom, if ever removed the debris. They merely levelled off the ruins and built above them. Possibly twenty cities would be built over each other in this sky scraper fashion, as were Troy, Jericho and many others. Even in Jerusa lem, the street levels are in some places approximately twenty-five meters above the level of the first structures. Thus many civiliza tions were superimposed each up on the preceding one. This type of artificial city-hill is called a “tell”. Tell Beit Mersein (Quyath sefer, or Keryath-sepher or Debir) showed fifteen different settle ments built during the course of 1600 years. This was arrived at on the basis of the hundreds of frag ments of pottery, which belonged to all the layers of the ruined vil lages contained in it. The Arabs use this term “tell” for the “neg lected monuments of destroyed civilization”. “A tell forever, an everlasting ruin”. At Eboon Geber (Elath), Solo mon’s seaport and industrial site on the northern shore of the east ern arm of the Red Sea, five suc cessive settlements were excavat ed by an expedition of the Ameri can School of Oriental Research. Fell Kheleifeh contained the outer fortification, wall and the gate way of Ezion—Geber I, their foundations resting on virgin soil. To be continued next week Northern Port Although Hammerfest. Norway, is farther north than any other town In Europe, its harbor is ice-free all year round. Because of warm westerly winds and the North At lantic drift originating In the Gulf of Mexico, the average January temperature in Hammerfest is only a little below freezing.

"Who’d give ME a license?” When Frank Ward O’Malley (one of the craft's greatest) was on the New York newspapers they could always be counted on to give you your two cents worth. . , . Frank once had a city editor (of the old achool) who made him rewrite his copy at least once—no matter how good it was. ... To even matters with him, O’Malley (who was doing an article on the origin of the Su preme Court) dug up a piece the eity editor had written on the sub ject years before. . . . O’Malley copied it word for word and then handed it in. . . .

He kept putting nickels in slots and carrying the food back to a table, repeating the trick for 15 minutes. The food was a foot high all over the table. A fascinated civilian asked him: “Haven’t you enough food? You’ll never eat all that. Why don't yoti quit?” “What!” exclaimed the G.I. “Quit when I’m winning?” NATURE STUDY By Mrs Thomas Sharp Red Lobelia—Cardinal Flower o The strikingly attractive mem ber of the Lobelia family may well be called, “The Scarlet Tan ager of the Wild Flowers”. Its glowing red-coloring sends out a special invitation to the Ruby throated humming bird, by which bird it is chiefly fertilized. The slightly angular, smooth, teaify, and hollow stalk grfews, usually single, from perennial off shoots, or slightly hairy, and are oblong to lance-shaped. The num erous flowers of unsurpassing viv idness are gathered in a loose and often one-sided terminal spike. The corolla (one inch long) is split down the upper side. Its five narrow, pointed, flaring, velvety lobes are bent at right angles, the three central ones being set to gether, and partly separated from the other two which are erect and at right angles with the central one and opposite each other. United in a tube around the style, and standing out far beyond the throat of the flower, are the five stamens with prominent, curving tip. The green calyn has five long, slender parts. Look for this lobelia in very moist places such as banks of streams and ditches. The Great or Blue Lobelia has large and handsome bright blue flowers. The lobes are much shorter than those of the Red Lobelia, and the stamen tube does not stand out beyond the corolla. In grassy meadows when the soil is dry and somewhat sandy, one may find the pale spiked Lo belia with its slender, wand-like spikes. The brittle stalk is notice ably twisted. Scattered along the spike are small, two-lipped pale blue flowers with the lower lip of each three-parted and two white sw’ellings at the throat. The smaller upper lip is divided. This cleft separates the tube its entire length. Although Samuel Thompson is supposed to be the discoverer of the medicinal value of the Lobeia Inflata (Indian Tobacco Asthma Weed), it was in domestic practice by New Englanders long before. The whole plant is “active”, but the roots are more so. It is an ex pectorant a relaxant, sedative, and secondarily, a cathartic. It is dan gerous unless given with care, but excellent as an ointment for ex ternal use. If the leaves and cap sules (seed cases) are chewed for a short time, a sensation of gid diness, followed by headache, nausea and vomiting, will be pro duced. Serious results may be caused by swallowing these parts. The Indians used the leaves as tobacco, hence one name. It is now used in various affections of the throat. Croup, asthma (“asthma weed”), and acute attacks of ca tarrh. The small light blue flowers are set on tiny stems, generally in the axil of a leaflet. Prominent in slated seed cases (“inflata”) suc ceed the flowers, making this lo belia easily distinguished from the others. The red and great blue Lobelias are very rare as ruthless hands, because of their gorgeous color ing, have almost exterminated them. (Copr. Black Mt. News, 1946) Colorful Eruption The two-day eruption of the vol cano Krakatoa, Netherlands Indies, 1883, was so violent that actual sounds of the explosion were heard nearly 3,000 miles away. This dis tance is the greatest at which sound waves have ever been perceived. Dust, stones and ashes were shot up into the air more than 17 miles, and a remarkable series of red sun sets appeared all over the world, caused by the spread of fine vol canic dust through the atmosphere.
