rade Of suggestions that will prop
up your meals:
Baked squash with small white
onions baked in the hollow. A
bit Of cream sauce added just be-
fore serving to the onions will
also perk up this dish. Sprinkle
with paprika for color.
Carrots: glaze these with
brown sugar and butter when

a bit of tartness with lemon juice.

Former Slave,
1O2, Attends


CHICAGO-(ANP)-S corning the
use of a cane, Mrs. Kate Patterson
recently celebrated her 102nd birth
day at attending a full days party
given her by members of Olivet
Baptist church of which she is a
member.
Her hair is snow white, but she
gets about massisted and does her
own cooking and household tasks.
On her birthday she recalled her
early days as a slave in Kentucky
and her sale as a field hand in
Hallsville, KY, away from her
parents and her brothers and Sis
tiers.
MY new master was nice to us
the first day and gave us sticks of
red candy" she recalled, "but we
had to work awfully hard in the
fields. We didn't get much for the
work, maybe a pair of shoes every
year or so. I guess I've seen plen-
ty of trouble in my day, but I'm
happy"
Not too old to travel, last summer
she spent several weeks visiting her
youngest child" son, IS, on his
farm in Sunset Hills, Mich. She
has one other daughter and son liv-
ing, eight grandchildren, and $50
many great grandchildren that I've
quit counting them"

Fish Allows MeaI-PIanner A
Fine Chance ToSave OnMeat

All Nutritive
Elements Needed

That familiar phrase, Fish on

relic of pre-war days. For fish on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or
the other days of the week in
which the meal-planner who knows
her nutrition can help in the Gov
ernment's request for conservation
of meat. Fish, like meat, contains
almost all the nutritive elements,
according to experts of the Fish and
Wildlife Service, United States De-
partment OF the Interior.
To put variety into more fire.
quent fish menus, the Service Sug-
geStS that some of the lesser
known species of fish be intro
duced generally to the American
family table Some of these fish
are little appreciated anywhere;
others are now popular in one sec
ton of the country but perhaps lit
tie used in another.
For fresh-water fish, the Great
Lakes section offers several species
which are locally available in con-
siderable quantity. The burbot, or
lawyer, for one example, plentiful
in Spring and Fall, is of medium
size, running from two to five
pounds, and is purchased dressed
and skinned Or filleted Deep fry
ing, baking or broiling are the
usual methods of preparation.
From this same area and from
the Mississippi River too, comes the
sheepshead, weighing from IL to
8 pounds or more and bought whole
or in fillets. Most plentiful in
Spring, it also is available well into
the Summer. Broiling, baking,
boiling or steaning are all approx
ed methods of cooking.
Carp, which is in season all year
round, is shipped largely to metro
politan centers where it is used
baked or boiled. 1t is an excellent
fish, too, for fish cakes and is pop
uplar for use as gefullte fish. Carp
comes to market in weights of from
two to Is pounds or more, and can
be purchased live or dressed.
The South Atlantic and Gulf
states produce two excellent fish
which are unfamiliar to many parts
of the country, king whiting and
mullet. The king whiting run from
three-quarters Of pound to three
pounds in weight, are sold whole,
dressed or in fillets and are usual
ly broiled, baked, fried or used in
chowder. Mullet, most plentiful
from October to December, may
weight from u to five pounds and
ordinarily are sold whole. They
usually are broiled or baked.
Sharks, gar and sawfish, too, are
now being sold on the New Or
leans market but are not widely
known.
The Fish and Wildlife Service
suggests the following basic methods
of coking most of these fish.
BOILING. Make a solution of
IL tablespoons of salt to one quart
of water for each pound of fish.
Wrap fish portions in cheesecloth
