THE housekeeper who does not
L know broccoli will surely well
come this vegetable with enthu-
siasm. Although il has rapidly
gained in popularity during the
last few years, many women fail
10 make use of it and thereby miss
an opportunity 10 add iron and
vitamins 10 their daily menus.
Broccoli comes TO us from the
Italians and although it belongs
10 the cabbage family. it is very
delicate in flavor and texture and
is a true aristocrat among the
vegetables. Invitingly green. it
has a decided appeal at this season
OF the year.
There are several different ways
of serving broccoli. but Hollan-
daise sauce seems TO be most suit
able with il. Mock or "easy" Hol-
landaise sauce can be substituted
with excellent results if it's incon-
yenient TO make the more or less
difficult real sauce.
The Italian people are past mas
ters in the art of cooking it. Toss
ed in a hot mixture of olive oil and
lemon juice is a fayorite way of
serving il. The vegetable is of
course cooked until tender in boil
ing salted water before dressing.
Another way is 10 sprinkle it with
grated cheese after cooking and
then slide the whole under the
broiler flame just long enough to
melt the cheese.
American cooks sometimes serve
il with a cream sauce but this is
not the best way because the con-
trastins tartness of lemon juice
compliments the flavor of the broc-
coli in most appetizing fashion.
No matter how broccoli is to be
served it must be we'll washed and |
carefully looked over. All very
large leaves should be discarded. |
leaves or those that are
bruised. of course. should be pull
ed from the stalks and thrown |
away. The blossom is more ten
der and delicate than the stalks
and leaves and is often cooked and |
served separately.
Large stalks should be pared |
and the thick ends split up several
inches. This enables the thickest
part to cook as quickly as the
more tender parts and prevents
The outer covering
of the stalks toughens as the yege-

GIRL RESERVES
WORK OF VALUE
TO COMMUNITY

Tomorrow the annual Y. w. c. A.
drive for funds will open in El
Centre TO raise money to carry on
the work of the organization for
another year.
Among the principal objectives
of the organization in the valley is
the Girl Reserve work, which is de-
signed to meet the needs of girls
of high school age.
Miss Hazel Bell Withrow, local
secretary, in speaking of the value
of Girl Reserve clubs, says The
Girl Reserves themselves say that
club life brings them pleasure, ad-
venture, knowledge, experience, good
health habits, companionship, de-
velopment of leadership ability and
fineneSS of character.
Activities of a Girl Reserves
club center upon the attitudes and
relationships girl has with her
family, with her rfiends, with peo-
pie of other nationalities and races,
with teachers or employers. Through
club life, Girl Reserves discover new
appreciations of beauty, learn the
meaning Of world friendship and
find their places as citizens of their
communities and of the world. Club
programs take many and varied
forms. all of which aim to help
girl build up within herself STAN
dards of values for the living of
balanced life.
The aim of the Y. w. c. A,
and therefore of the Girl Reserve
movement, is to help in the build
ing of personality and attitudes in
line with social progress, TO secure
for girls that abundant life we call
good -
