Modern Menus
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer

A budget is no more vital than the amount of vitamins it includes. So look to the produce coming in from nearby markets. Buy each days specials-there will be aspara- gus, new cabbage, green beans and peas, great mounds of vivid spin ach, onions and variety of spright- ly salad greens. Don't believe the oldwives' saying that men won't eat vegetables or salads. They will if these protective foods are we'll pre- pared and served.
 Every scrap of vegetable must be used. The tough ends of asparagus, the snippings from beans, yes, the shells of peas, all should be put in a pot and simmered with water to make a clear vegetable stock for sauces and quick soups.
 USE CABBAGE FOR HEALTH AND THRIFT
 Cabbage makes crisp salads when mixed with celery, apple and salad greens. To cook it, shred, stand it first in very cold salted water, then plunge it into large pot of salted boiling water and cook exactly seven minutes. Drain, butter and season and you have a low cost vegetable with a high hat taste.
 Cook your vegetables, with the exception of cabbage and onions, in very little water, or steam them if possible. Most vegetables can be cooked in from 10 to 20 minutes. Don't cook away their life.
 Fresh Vegetable Casserole (Serves for dinner, l for lunch
 con next day)
 Two carrots, 1-2 pound peas, 1-2 pound asparagus, small onion, l-2 cup canned or fresh corn (canned is still cheaper), IA cup grated Ameri- can cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, l tablespoon flour, cup milk, season. ing to taste, 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
 Scrub carrots. Do not peel away valuable surface. Cut into thin strips lengthwise. Cook in small amount of boiling salted water for 10 min- utes. Cut beans into strips length wise and cook 20 minutes. Cook peas IS minutes. Scrape onion. Cook tender tips of asparagus for IS minutes. Keep stalks for vegetable stock.
