The Chef
Says

There's no use In letting monot-
ony creep into your meals-and a
sure cure for spring doldrums Is
to introduce q new dish to your
menu. Follow the example Of
some of the swanky restaurants.
and make a specialize" out Of an
exotic food.
Snails Provencale are perhaps
the best known of all snail dishes.
as those Of you who have dined in
France can attest. II you Use the
timed snails for this. you won't
have to go through the cleaning
part Of the preparation. but with
fresh snails this is MOST i'm
portant.
Wash the snails in cold water,
changing the water four or five
times. Remove the membrane
that covers the shell opening. Now
put the snails in a bucket of water
to which you add two handfuls OF
salt and one glass of vinegar for
each so snails. Leave for 2 hours,
shaking the bucket occasionally.
Better put a board on top so they
can't escape. Wash again in sew
eral changes of salted water.
To cook. put them In a kettle
with q bottle of dry white wine.
and just enough water to cover.
Add for each quart of liquid a tea
spoon of salt. a large onion stuck
with cloves, four minced shallots,
four garlic cloves. some parsley, a
bay leaf, some thyme and six pep
percorns. Bring to a boil, and let
Just simmer for 3 hours. Drain,
remove snails from shells. and take
of the black spot at the end OF
each one. Put some snail butter
in the bottom of each shell, tuck
in the snails, fill up with more
snail butter. Put a few tablespoons
of white wine in a shallow baking
dish, arrange the snails in the dish,
and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Brown under the broiler for a few
minutes, and serve piping hot. To
eat, you should have a regular
snail prong to dig the snail from
its shell, but a nutpick can be
made to do in a pinch.
The special snail butter is made
by creaming "a pound OF butter
with Q teaspoons chopped shallots.
4 cloves of garlic crushed to a fine
paste, a tablespoon minced celery,
Q little salt and pepper. Blend well.

Something for Our Taxes

Residents of this upper part Of
the Flathead have reason to ques-
ton the two mill airport tax levy.
While having daily Northwest
Airlines service is a good thing
for the valley, the benefits are
less to those who live between
Columbia Falls and Bolton.
AS far as Northwest is con-
cerned it is landing at Kalispell,
and essentially it is the county
seat that gets the airmail and air
express benefits.

leave the local port, must be routed
by branch line train to Kalispell
and then out to the port. Requests

ment that we have come to expect
of the post office department.
We would be less inclined to
grumble, if this new air service
would bring our section of the
county daily benefits.

AS it is now, we have an air.
port built with about $500, 900 OF
federal tax money, and each auto
mobile, household or furniture,
home, business, acre and lot is now
being taxed to maintain and i'm

It's rather odd in the American
scene how we consider our trans
portation systems. The Great
Northern railway has just COM
pleted paying Flathead county
$3.50, 0O7.O6, their annual tax.
Practically no taxes are paid dir
ect to the county by the various
nonresident motor freight car
iers, and as to the airline, we sub
sidize their landing here.
Now it's no sin to want some
thing for our tax dollars, and for
two mills, we in this section of
the Flathead want some direct
benefits. Why we'd even be agree
able to substituting daily plane
landings, if we could see the bene-

This valley is conscious of its
