tinued hot weather viii cut itI
even shorter.
Supplies of old-crop potatoes
are being rapidly replaced by the
new crops new being harvested in
the South. The first New Jersey
cabbage is filtering into the mar
Iket, along with some very fine
broccoli from Pennsylvania as well
as beetS and spinach from the
same State. Green peppers are
reasonable and the quality excel
lent. In these days Of high prices
inexpensive main dishes are at al
premium. Stuffed green pepper
halves offer a thrifty way of
stretching that precious bit of
leftover meat to make-do for an
other meal. And since this is
dairy month plan to use cheese in
combination with the meat for
additional protein. Other good
buys among vegetables include
lettuce, snap beans, carrots, celery

|radiShes and onions.
AS we move into summer the
fruit offerings look much brighter.
Still the best buys" are the three
old faithfulS apples, oranges
and grapefruit. The Florida or
|angeS are sweet and good, and
|Winesaps or Delicious ARE your
best choice in apples. Add to your
fruit selection peaches from Geor-
gia and North and South Carolina,
watermelons from Florida, and
|cantaloupe from the Imperial VAL
ley in California. Some sweet
cherries, also from California, are
being offered but as usual when
the first Of the crop starts moving
into the market, the prices are
rather high.
HERE AND THERE: Store a
soiled wooden blanket under a dead
weight in the spring and it won't
emerge lively and fluffy in the
fall. So say the textile techni-
clans of the American Institute of
Laundering who advise housewives
to put their w0olen blankets away
clean and on the top, not the bot
tom, of the storage pile so the
nap will not be fiattened =. The
next time you wax your floors,
put a little wax on the feet of the
furniture. Then when chair or
table is moved around it won't be
SO apt to scratch the floor An
a1-rye bread is not recommended. :.
Rye flour is very sticky when liquid
is added to 1t. It does not develop
gluten as wheat -four does, so it,
should be blended with some white
flour, at least one white to three
parts rye, to make satisfactory
homemade bread A party
style luncheon entree is made by
filling large size cream puffs with
a tasty creamed tuna and mush-
room mixture. A fresh fruit salad
goes well with this Too much
ice on the freezing unit of your
refrigerator slows down the mech
anism and runs up electric bills.
Don't let it accumulate more than
u inch thick. which usually means
the refrigerator must be defrostedI
once week Now that we're
getting into the tomato season
again you'll want to try this lunch
con salad. Peel q tomato and cut
into 3 slices. Put the slices back
together again with filling of
chopped hard-coOked egg and
pieces Of ripe olives held together
with mayOnnaise, and seasoned to
taste. Serve on garnished salad
plate with whole ripe olives along
side -. For fl0wer-lovers: White
wash the insides of wooden flower
boxes before filing with soil. This
discourages insects and prevents
the wood from rotting ;. Straw
berry ice cream heaped on slices of
canned pineapple and topped with
defrosted frozen sliced straw
berries makes a super dessert for
unexpected company. It can be-
made in a minute by using bulk
ice cream and canned pineapple
from your neighborhood store.
