MENUS FOR THE FAMILY
BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

DREADED pork chops are one of
the most popular meats on the
dinner menus. But they must be
prepared in the right manner If
they are going to have sufficient ap-
petite appeal. This is a little more
difficult than many cooks realize.
In the first place. all too often
the chops themselves are cut so
thin that all the flavor is cooked
out of them. You might as we'll
have no meat at all as to have it
Just as slender as blotting paper
Have the chops cut a little over a
half-inch thick. Three-quarters of
an inch is good. Select chops that
are quite lean and look juicy and
freshly pink. Choose those which
have small bones.
Such chops are not the cheapest
on the market but they are GER
tainly the most satisfactory from
the dinners viewpoint.
Dip each chop in -four. See that
IL is we'll coated, not just touched
here and there.
Now dip the chops in beaten egg.
You might add tablespoon of wa
ter to the egg after it is beaten.
Dip it in finely ground bread
crumbs or in cracker meal. Again.
be sure that each chop is we'll COW

ink, however. Drop each chop gen.

Remove to a baking dish. cover
tightly and bake in a moderate oven
for about three-quarters of an hour.
This method takes a little more
time but you will have a fine. even

when YOU are through.
Another quicker way is to fry the
chops in a small amount of fat in

A capacity house greeted the
twelfth concert to be given under
the auspices Of the Imperial Valley
Choral society which took place last
night in the Wilson school audito-
rum. Every seat in the auditorium
was taken and additional chairs
were brought in to accommodate the
many people wishing reservations.
Over 600 were present which is the
largest audience for any concert
ever given in this community.
This unusually large audience tes-
titles not only to the popularity of
the concert performers but to the
growing appreciation and realiza-
ton of the clubs efforts in bring
ing worthwhile music TO the valley.
Charles Wakefield Cadman. dis
tinguished American composer, ana
one of the few to receive honor and
recognition for his works while still
alive. is perhaps the most famdls
artist to be presented by the CO
raj society. He was greeted with
Overwhelming applause last night
as he appeared for his first group
of piano numbers.
A composer of national eminence
whose music has charming mel
odic quality, Mr.. Cadman fully JUS
titled his great reputation last night
in his two groups of piano numbers,
playing his own compositions.
Beginning with his Romance in
G." delightful number whose
theme is the chimes of Paris
church. his program illustrated his
versatility as composer. ranging
from "Marche Grotesque" which is
all that its name indicates to "Ec-
tasy," The Minstrel of Capistrano."
Love Song and the amusing ITO
2 Comedian" from his Hollywood
Suite.
Robert Cheatham, popular tenor
soloist for the National Broadcast
ing company, was presented in two
groups of songs. His voice, while
Of great power, possesses a delight
ful lyric quality we'll suited in par
ticular to the Cadman songs which
constituted his second group.
His first group Of songs consisted
of "A Wanderer" (Rasbach) "a
Dream" Bartlett, and Because" !"
tD'Hardelot) He responded to the
demand for an encore with Water
Boy" a dramatic song which was
exceptionally well performed.
The popular Land of the Sky
Blue Water" Il Hear a Thrush at
Eve" and The Moon Drops Low"
all well known Cadman numbers,
constituted the second group, Mr..
Cadman playing Mr. Cheatham's s
accompaniments. Particularly fine
was the last song, The Moon Drops
Low" With its tragic prophecy OF
the doom Of the red race SO ably
expressed by the music and which
Mr.. Cheatham sang with such fine
shading and emphasis.
Francesca Cantu Roberts, whose
lovely soprano voice is a favorite
with Imperial Valley audiences,

Riced Potatoes

Riced potatoes are softer and luf-

Drowned potatoes which frequently
accompany pork chops. In addi-
ton, riCed potatoes are not only
more interesting looking. but are
considerably easier to prepare.
Boil your potatoes until they are
soft. Hash them. and then put
them in your ricer. and press it
down. If you do not own ricer
you can secure the same effect by
pressing the potatoes through Il col

excelled climate of Fairbanks and Anchorage will hold the home lsteader. Mount Mckinley, the high est mountain in the world above it's base, will claim many admirers. The better class of tourists will no doubt go north from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seat tie, via motor, and will return from Alaska via boat through that fairy land of inside passages. Alaska,
 "The Great Land," has been an island. This highway will produce a rich powerful American State in a tremendously strategic position, halfway across the Pacific, key stone of trade and commerce.

competed.
 Various financial plans have been proposed, and after the engi- neers' reports are made public more definite proposals will be forthcoming.
 ''The Province of British Colum- bia will no doubt find financing plan of concessions, gas taxes or toll gates to cover the necessary construction with little or no bur- den on the people of the province. It is expected that the Yukon Ter ritory section will be built by the Canadian government.
 Tn Alaska there are funds avail able annually for road building, and if additional funds are needed to extend or improve the existing Alaskan road system undoubtedly Congress would appropriate the money, as few dollars spent to construct this highway will be re- paid many fold in the increased valuation of Alaskan property, most of which is at present in Federal ownership.
 If left to itself, this road would no doubt be built by natural piece meal extension in the next 20 years, but with a little concerted action and cooperation at this time 1t IS possible to put it through within the next few years. The Pacific International Highway will open untold mineral resources of Alaska. Hundreds of miles of heavily min |eralized zones lie spread over three great mountain ranges. Tin, an- timony, silver, copper and gold and anthracite await the influx of pros IpectorS and capital which will come quickly via the motor route. The completion of this highway to AL aska will in a very few years add a hundred thousand eastern peo- pie to the population of Alaska, and several hundred thousand to British Colubia. This highway to Alaska will be the greatest single drawing card the Pacific Coast will have for the motorist of America.
 Alaska scenic attractions are unsurpassed. Thousands will wish to travel from their own doorstep to the Land of the Midnight Sun. The Arctic Circle will be crossed and recrossed, and the Aurora Bor- calls will become a by-Word. Daw- son, Klondike and the Yukon River will draw the curious, and the un-

section can be built with a good gravel surface for about $7,500 per mile The Yukon River would be crossed at Dawson by ferry which is already in local operation.
 The Alaska highway system which radiateS from Fairbanks, now leads north to the village of Circle on the Yukon and south to the Port of Valdez on the Pacific Coast. There are in this lmme- diate system at present approx mately 800 miles of excellent gravel roads traversing not only a magni- ficent scenic mineral section, but passing through millions of acres of future wheat and barley land. The surveys made in Alaska this sum mer show the Pacific International Highway main line can no doubt connect advantageously with the existing Alaskan system at a point about 90 miles from Fairbanks. This new 200-nile Alaskan section
 will pass through 8 rich placer country as we'll as a section where every tourist will see caribou herds of countless thousands.
 "On October 10 a meeting will be held in Victoria when American and Canadian representatives will examine the reports and recom- mendations of the various engi- neering parties. A preliminary study of this information shows that the final located line will have easy grades and alignments and the passes will be below 5000 feet. The entire route from Vancouver to Fairbanks is protected from the heavy coastal rains and snow by the coast range of mountains. An nual rainfall in Fairbanks is only 12 inches. This route is free from fog and follows the natural flying route to the Orient. The road to Hazelton is at present used the year around, and the 2,000 motor cars in Alaska operate throughout the winter in the vicinity of the towns. Whenever traffic warrants the Alaskan roads can be kept open the year around just as is now done under similar winter climatic con- ditions in the States
 An excellent gravel road to Fairbanks could be completed and in service in less than five years from the time the money is avail able. It is believed that $1O,O0O per mile would put through a pass able gravel road The driving dis tance from San Francisco to Fair banks will be about $500 miles, of which only 1000 remains to be
