By Violet Faulkner
Food Editor.

The past week has been heyday
in the what's new" department.
There are a number Of new frozen
food items to tell you about-two
new cake mixes, . new hot roll
mix and a new type household
ammonia.
You wonder sometimes what the
frozen food industry will dream up
next. A ready-to-serve baked waf-
fle, packed six to the box. is already
to pop into your automatic toaster
or be reheated in the oven. You
don't even defrost the wafnes, it
takes only a minute in the toaster.
found that setting the indicator
on my toaster halfway between
light and dark was just about right.
The waf1es emerge tender and
crispy, a very passable substitute
for the real article, and handy for
the utility apartment dweller. The
same company makes quick-frozen,
ready-cooked fried onions. Here,
again, you don't defrost the product
before reheating, simply spread
them out on a shallow pan and
slide into a moderate oven. Maybe
I'm just partial to onions, but they
struck me as being very good. The
package is supposed to serve four
people, it will depend on how well
you like them whether 1t does or
not.
One step ahead of the prepared
roll mix is a package of ready
made, frozen clover leaf rolls. All
you do is remove them from the box
put them in buttered muf1n pans
| and wait until they have doubled in
bulk. The time will depend on the
temperature of the room but count

on . couple Of hours anyway. Then
bake them In q hot oven until golden
brown:
A cookie mix is another frozen
item, ready to slice and bake. Keep
the cookie dough frozen until ready
to use, you'll find they are easier
to slice thin under those circum-
stances.
One company Is now putting out
a loose pack of peas, lima beans
and carrots and peas. This means
each pea or bean is separated so If
you want to use only a portion of
the package it is very easy to di-
vide. They also package corn-on-
the-cob that is equal to any fresh
picked from the patch. The kernel
is small. full of milk and sweet as
sugar. Strawberries, sliced with
sugar, is another new package.
A variety of cooked meat items
now come packed in aluminium foil
bags ready to be dropped into q pan
of boiling water and heated. There's
a choice Of vegetables packed in the
same manner so you can select your
own vegetable-meat combinations.
Full directions come with each
package of beef patties, beef pot
roast, beef goulash, chicken cas-
serole, Swiss steak, turkey and
dressing or beef tenderloin.
The boneless beef sandwich steaks,
each weighing 2 ounces, and cut
from the beef rib, are made-to-order
for picnics or quick lunches. 1t
takes only q minute to cook them,
in fact, all you do is give them a
quick flip-fiop in lightly creased
hot skillet and there you are. Or
Iif you prefer your steaks thicker
there are individually wrapped fro
zen flllet mignons. The boneless
veal outlets are wonderful for veal
birds. no bone to pare out and spoil
the shape of the bird" You're all
ready to 60 to work, put in the
stuffing and roll them.
Have you tried the frozen orange
juice concentrates lately? It is pref
ty hard to tell 1t from the fresh
Juice. And the concentrates are GER
tainly q wonderful time-saver II
you're making up large patches OF
fruit punches, or any summer drink
that requires cups and cups OF
orange juice. It's so simple to use
and so quick. Just one more frozen
food item I want to call to your at
tention. Did you know you can buy
the family-size boxes Of frozen veg
etables? They're 81 times as large
as the regular small package; in
other words, you'd save approxi-
mately one small box buying the
large size. Remember that if two
or three families are planning to get
together for a community Fourth of
July dinner.
A local firm has just introduced
a new hot roll mix and cake
mix; and a nationally known cake
flour company has come. out with
their own cake mix. Both cake
mixes need only the addition of a
cup Of milk to make two 8-inch
layers. Directions for variations OF
the standard recipe are on the box
Evening star., 1948-06-24

In one instance there is recipe foS
making cookies from the same mix.
A bottle Of household ammonia Ii
probably standard equipment on the
shelf of your cleaning cabinet. It's
good for dozens Of jobs from shining
up your diamond rings to cutting
the grease OF the kitchen stove.
Now there's a new ammonia out
that gives oceans of soft, foamy suds
in either hot or cold water. 1t is
good for soaking away grease and
dirt, shines windows and floors and
puts a sparkle on your glassware.
In fact, it answers literally dozens
of household cleaning problems.
HERE AND THERE: When but.
ter cakes are taken from the oven
they should be allowed to stand for
about minutes before they are
turned out onto a cake rack to
cool. If food burns in an alumni
mum utensil, 1t may be removed as
follows: Fill the utensit with water
and let it stand for about an hour.
Then scrape out as much Of the
burned food as possible with q dull
instrument such as wooden spoon.
Use steel wool after this and wash
in hot soapy water, rinse and dry
thoroughly. Do not use strong cleans
ing solutions to remove burned
food from aluminium. For an
eye-catcher at your next dinner,
serve rolls-in-a-loaf Trim sides and
top crust from q loaf of unsliced
enriched bread. Cut through the
center of the loaf. just to the lower
crust, but not through it. Then make
cr0sswise cuts, spacing them so that
the rolls" will be even in size.
Brush with melted butter and toast
in moderate oven until the edges
of the loaf are a golden brown. Serve
lit piping hot. . Here's a swell
party idea! Center a bowl of qua
camole in bouquet of crisp raw
vegetables, radishes. caulif1oweretts,
celery, carrot and turnip sticks.
Guacamole is, Of course, that fav-
orite cocktail spread made Of mashed
avocado, lemon juice. onion and salt.
Delicious dip for raw relishes.
Some Of the picking up that must
be done around the house Is difficult
and even dangerous if done by hand.
Use tongs to pick up hot articles at
the stove, outdoor fireplace or sink.
Use them to lift jars from hot water
in canning. large vegetables from
cooking water, baked potatoes from
the oven, hot CRATES or lids from
the fire. One and a half dozen
lemons will make enough lemonade
to serve rs people. -. Process cheese
is the result of the blending of many
different lots of bulk or natural
cheese of any one cheese type, Amer
ican, Swiss, Limburger or others, to
make a product which will be uni
form in flavor and texture. In
natural cheese, curing does not cease
when cheese has reached its peak OF
flavor, but continues beyond that
peak, to some degree, until the
cheese Is used. In process cheese, the
desired flavor is maintained, since
curing is halted. by pasteurization.

Club Federation Told Of Plans
For ReceiDing Home School

The development of q school pro-
gram for the Receiving Home for
Children is one of the improvements
that will be made possible when
the new building for the home is
opened next summer, members of
the District Federation of Women s
Clubs were told yesterday afternoon.
DR.. William H. Stavsky, superin-
tendent OF the home, discussed the
proposed service with a group of
club members who visited the in
stitution and explained that the
Board of Public Welfare has been
anxious to develop an educational
program for some time. y .
Miss Elaine Exton, chairman of
the federation's Youth Conservation
Committee, revealed she has asked
the Board of Education to restore
the teaching service that it once
provided for the home. Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle, president of the
board, told her that the District
school officials are studying the
matter, she reported.
Miss Exton. also said she was
Informed that DR.. Hobart Corning.
superintendent of the District
schools, feels an educational pro-
gram is imperative for the chill
dren at the Receiving Home who
otherwise would be out of school
for long periods" d
DR.. Stavsky told the women that
overcroWding has been the chief
difficulty at the home this year
and that this situation will be eased
greatly when the new home Is
opened. He pointed out that, be-
cause OF a shortage of foster homes
and an unprecedented number of
children needing shelter, many
more dependent children have been
housed at the home than ever be-
fore.
The opening Of the new home also
will enable the Board Of Public
Welfare to segregate completely de-
linquent from nondelinquent chill
dren and will make possible more
individual attention to each child,
he said.
About 40 clubwomen took the
tour, which was one of series to
youth-serving agencies arranged by
Miss Exton's committee. The group
included Miss Stella Scurlock, youth
conservation director of the general
federation, who is including infor-
nation about the tours in Sugges-

On Palestine Issue

Calling on the United States to
recognize the Provisional govern
ment Of the Jewish section of Pales-
tine to be effective as of April i,

implementation of the U, N. decision
as determined either by the Security
Council or by the Palestine Com
mission" the committe stated in a
resolution announced by the ma
tional chairman, Mrs. Norman de r.

in Palestine warrants the use of
armed force to maintain interna-
tional peace and security.
Holding that the situation in Pal
estine may well endanger interna-
tional peace and security" the COM
mittee emphasized that every effort
should still be made to persuade all
parties concerned to agree on a
Of carrying out the Gen.
eral Assembly's recommendation

tutes threat to international
