Fish TO
Your Menus
for Variety
BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

You can vary your summer
menus by the use Of fish. Fresh
or canned. fish offer many posi-
bilities for appetizing and econom-
ical meals.
The protein Of fish is essentially
Of the same value as that. Of meats,
but fish is lighter, less heating
food and particularly desirable for
summer on that account. Fish,
too. and especially deep sea FISH,
is regarded as one of the most i'm
portant foods for children.
The method of cooking and
serving has much to do with the
popularity of fish. Boiling, bak-
ing. steaming, broiling, pan frying
and deep-fat frying-each has It's
place for certain kinds of fish.
Sauce Adds to Flavor
Often a well favored sauce is
an agreeable accompaniment and
adds much to the tastiness of the
dish.
The so-called lean" fish are
particularly delicious when steamed.
The lean fish have their fat
secreted in the liver, leaving the
flesh clear and white.
After cooking they are dry and
flaky and very tender. Cod. had
dock, founder, fluke. trout, smelts,
black bass, blueflsh, pickerel and
many others belong to this group.
Less flavor and nutriment are
lost when fish is steamed than by
other methods. The process is
short, involving little heat, and
the cooked fish is especially deli
cious
However, it should be remem-
bered that the accompanying sauce
is of utmost importance and must
be chosen with discrimination.
A Sauce for Every Fish
Drawn butter sauce is considered
the special sauce for steamed fish.
OF course, the same sauce can be
served with fish cooked in several
ways, but there is always a special
sauce that goes particularly well
with fish cooked in a special way.
Maitre d'Hotel butter is served
with broiled fish, tartar sauce with
deep-fat fried, black butter with
pan fried or sauted, tomato or egg
sauce with boiled or baked fish.
Drawn butter sauce is made like
white sauce, using water in place
of milk, and seasoning lightly with
lemon juice.
Salmon Oil Healthy
Tartar sauce is a mayonnaise
sauce with added material. Minced
oaicn. mincsd gherkins, capers,
minced parsley and minced green
olives are the ingredients usually
added
AS to canned fish, there have
been some interesting reports re-
garding salmon. Salmon oil is said
to compare favorably with the medi-
cinal cod liver oil in vitamin A and
D content.
The bureau of home economics
of the United States department of
agriculture tells us that canned
salmon is one of the principal fish
products from the standpoint Of nu-
triton as well as economy.
Many Ways of Serving
1t is one of the few foods from
which it is possible to get vitamin
D, the anti-rachitic vitamin, and it
is outstanding among fishes in its
fat content. 1t also contains vita
min G which is the foe of pei
lagra"
Canned salmon lends itself to
countless ways of serving. Relocated
it is excellent with any Of the fish
sauces.
It is good in souffles and baked
dishes of all kinds. It makes tasty
soups and chowders and appetite
ing salads and sandwiches. In every
meal from breakfast to supper and
any course except dessert you can

Y,PENH|LESS, HUNGRY AND
No KIN REACHES SEAFORD
JOHN MURPHY, IL, THUMBS A
RIDE AND STEALS PURSE
When His Condition Was Realized
Charges Were Not Pressed and
He Was Given a Job

A boy, arrested in Seaford Sat
urday night, who gave his name
as John Murphy, and age as II, on
a charge of stealing the pocket
book of Miss Virginia Elliott,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Elliott, of Delmar, grade teacher
in the Seaford Central School, was
turned over Monday afternoon to
William B. Mears, a Seaford dairy
man, who gave the boy job.
There was something of the human
touch in the boys story which
linked with these days of unem-
ployment and depression, had its
effect in winning mercy from all
concerned. The boy said he was
itch-hiking from his home in
Massachusetts to warmer climate
in the south when he asked Miss
Elliott and her escort for lift, !"
which they gave him. They were
driving from Delmar to Bridgeville,
when they picked the boy up. At
Seaford he asked to be let out of
the car, and when he got out he
took Miss Elliott's pocketbook,
which was lying on the back seat.
The boy gave as his reason for
taking the pocketbook that he was
hungry and had not eaten since
Friday morning When Miss FL
liott arrived at Bridgeville she dis
covered her pocketbook missing.
On the return trip to Delmar the
boy again asked them for a lift, ="
not knowing it was the same car
he had ridden to Seaford in. Pick
ing him up they took him to the
office of Magistrate James K.Phil-
lips. He had thrown the pocket
book away, but some small change
which was in the pocketbook and
Miss Elliott's fountain pen were
found on his person. He admitted
the theft and was locked up until
Monday, when the authorities de-
cided to turn him over to Mr..
Mears, the boy saying he had had
some experience in dairy farm in
the New England States. Miss
Elliotts pocketbook was found in
front of the home of Washington
Marvel and a pair of gloves was
found a short distance away. Miss
Elliott said she did not care to
press the charge against the boy
after learning he was going to
work for Mr. Mears. The boy said
his parents are dead and he had no
relatives that he knew of.
