SAUCES A BLUE-RIBBON WINNER
Fixing dinner can sometimes be a 3-ring circus. Stirring
pots, watching the broiler, and tossing the saldd take ring
leader ability.
Tonight, make a prize-winning dinner in one easy sweep.
Fix veal roll-ups with spinach, green onions, tomatoes, and peas
simmered in velvety smooth mushroom gravy. This dinner-in
a-dish meal makes cooking simple, clean-up easy, and eating
delicious.
The one ingredient that contributes most to the recipe’s blue
ribbon flavor is canned mushroom gravy. It’s so reliably good
and so convenient, you won’t want to be caught without it.
Complete the meal by passing ■ a tray of fresh fruit and
cheese for dessert.

Many people feel that crops
are not bothered by bugs any
more so we ihust get rid of pes
tisides. This is about as fur
from the trtth- as Neil Arm
strong was from home base when
he first set foot on another
planet. The only reason that we
have pest free crops, in>-these
times, is because we have used
pesticides to control insects and
disease which attack them.
Since DDT, in the minds of
many, seems to be the
worst offender, let’s kick it
around a little. Dr. Edward N.
Knipling, USDA, reports that ap
proximately 25 million lives have
been saved and 500 million ill
nesses have been present by
the use of DDT alone. This stems
primarily from the fact that this
material is used to control in
sects which are carriers of ma
laria, typhus, yellow fever, dy
sentery and other diseases of
the human race. Statistics show,
that in 1967, between 2.5 and 3
million pounds of DDT were
used for yellow fever control in
South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida, and Texas. DDT
is also an effective insecticide
on many crops.
It is true that we have the
finest, most abundant and least
expensive food supply the world
has ever known. It is also true
that the individual farmer is
producing more food and' fiber
for more consumers than at any
other time in history. This is
due to advances in science and
technology in which the use of
pesticides has played an impor
tant part.
Is there really anything to be
concerned about? Let’s see. We
are retiring, each year, about
one million acres of 'potential
farmland to super highways, in
terchanges, airports, industrial
complexes and sprawling urban
developments. By the year 2000,
if all goes well, we may have
a worldwide population of about
seven and one-half billion peo
