pany will supply eookwaro with a

come in mix and match sets with
contrasting designs or reversed

One blender comes with 16 push-
button speeds. Simpler ones are
priced low to attract customers,
but the top models remain expen-

Coffee pots have new styles. One
make promises the perfect cup of
drip coffee because of a special
water flow system that is said to
allow the brew to steep just the
right length of time.
Irons are slimmed down and don-
ned handy features. One has a
special heel rest to prevent it from
tipping. Another takes its own
temperature and displays it on the
top. It’s scorch proof!
There is a battery-powered bath-
room scale that features a raised
black screen on which over-sized
numbers light up to show your
weight. Many others come in dif-
ferent styles, including the latest
butterfly shape.
A “his and hers” electric alarm
clock with two faces and alarms

sleep on until the second alarm. A
lamp-clock-radio is new that wakes
you in stages: first the light and
radio, then the alarm.
What’s in the future for appli-
ances? An array of items are not
due on the market for at least five
years. Examples are: a thermo-
electric steam iron, powered by a
re-chnrgeable fuel cell, will collect
moisture from the air, provide in-
stant heat and remove spots. An
ultra sonic blender, also powered
by a fuel cell, will be self-cleaning
and silent in operation.
An automatic can-opener will cut

puterized beverage center will dis-
pense hot or cold drinks at the
touch of a button—automatically
adjusting the liquid to the height
of your cup or glass.
Meats of all kinds and most cuts
can be barbecued. Less tender cuts,
of course, require tenderizing be-
fore barbecuing.
Marinate the meat to tenderize
it. The marinating preparation
I should contain a food acid such
i as lemon juice, vinegar or tomato
| juice to break down meat fibers
and add flavor.
All kinds of steak, from T-bone
to flank, are excellent to barbecue.
Choose high grade meat though.
For barbecuing, a steak should
be at least one inch thick and free
of excess fat. Cube or minute
steaks and ground beef are fa-
miliar to barbecue pits.
Chuck, cubed chuck and stew
beef can be barbecued if marinated
first for flavor and tenderness.
A general rule for beef barbecue
sauce is: make it rich in oil.
If you choose poultry use a 2-
2Vz pound bird. Allow about a
pound for each adult. Four to eight
pound turkeys barbecue beautifully
and are easy on the budget.
Poultry meats are best with a
delicately seasoned barbecue sauce,
mostly oil and herbs.
Barbecue sauces for pork should
go easy on the oil and heavy on
the catsup, tomato paste or chili
sauce. For lamb, use a sauce rich
in oil and garlic.

Extension Goes To
Counties With
In-Depth Traininq
COLLEGE STATION—Texas ag-
riculturists and lagribujinessmen
are asking for and receiving in-
depth training in an ever-increas-
ing number of subject-matter fields.
A. H. Walker, state agricultural
leader for Texas A&M University’s
Agricultural Extension Service,
said 891 off-campus short courses,
clinics and workshops for commer-
cial agricultural producers and
others working in fields related to
the state’s greatest basic indus-
try—agriculture, were held last
year. Almost 46,000 persons attend-
ed these events which ranged in
hours of instruction from 2 to 40.
Subjects taught ranged from
agribusiness, agricultural chemi-
cals, beef cattle and cotton to wild-
life management for a grand total
of 20 different subject-matter
areas, Walker said.
Planning was a major factor in
the success of these educational ef-
forts. The stn^gj^igricijltural leader

Are Honored For Outstanding Work
More Convenience
Adds To Cost Of
Basic Farm Foods
COLLEGE STATION—Consum-
er services added to foods have
doubled since 1940 and will con-
tinue to increase. Rising consumer
income increases demand for “ser-
vices” three or four times as fast
as the demand for basic farm foods,
explains Gwendolyne Clyatt, Exten-
sion consumer marketing specialist.
In turn, retail food prices will
go up, she adds.
“Built-in” maid service and pack-
aging are services, but so are cheek
cashing, parking lots, air-condi-
tioned stores and someone to carry
your groceries, continues the spec-
ialist for Texas A&M.
Consumers ask for conveniences,
says Mrs. Clyatt, to save the home-
maker time and energy.
Employment outside the home,
difficulty in getting househoid
heip, community responsibilities
and recreational activities reduce
homemakers' time for food shop-
ping and preparation.
Markham, IMatagorda, and
Deutschburg have been named win-
ning communities in the Texas
Community Improvement Program,
according to the local County Ex-
tension Office. (Markham placed
first in Division I which is for com-
munities that are participating for
the first, second, or third year and
that have not been first place dis-
trict winners. Matagorda placed
tjhird and Deutschburg placed
fourth in Division II. Division II is
the category that communities par-
ticipate in which have been entered
in the program for at least three
years or for communities that have
been first place winners previously.
These three communities competed
with twenty other communities in
the Gulf Coast area which were
entered in tho Texas Community
Improvement Program.
The Texas Community Improve-
ment Program is sponsored by the
electric utility companies operat-
ing in Texas in cooperation with
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service of Texas A&M University.
Central Power & Light Company is
the local sponsoring electric utility
company that worked with the
County Extension Service in Mata-
gorda County.
These three winning communi-
ties were judged on the following
criterion: Participation, General
Appearance of community, Efforts
to Improve Over-all Economic
Benefits, Rural-Urban Relation-
ship, Leadership Development, In-
creasing and Managing Family In-
come, Improving Health Conditions,
Improving the Farms and Homes,
Encouraging Social Participation,
and Long-Range Planning. Mark-
ham, Matagorda, and Deutschburg
will receive $100, $25, and $25, re-
spectively, for their efforts in the
Texas Community Improvement
Program this year.
The judging committee that visit-
ed each of these communities was
composed of Uel Stockard, District
Agricultural Agent, Texas A&M
University, Mrs. Barbara Elliott,
County Homo Demonstration
Agent, Washington County and R.
A. Sanders, Extension Program
Specialist, Overton, Texas. The
committee not only reviewed a
record book submitted by each com-
munity but also visited each com-
munity to hear and see first hand
the improvements and accomplish-
ments made by each group.
We would like to salute Mark-
ham, Matagorda, and Deutschburg
for making their communities and
Matagorda County a better place in
which to live.
Sardines aren’t really sardines
at all, according to Extension homo
economists at Texas A&M Univer-
sity. The fish is an Atlantic her-
ring, one of the most abundant and
important food fish in the North:
Atlantic. Sardines will be plentiful
during May.
is the large variety of cheeses
readily obtainable. The different
types of cheese number several
hundred. But there are only about
18 distinctive types or kinds of
cheese. None of these are made
exactly the same; tho processes are
varied to produce characteristics
and quantities peculiar to each
kind of cheese.
Cheeses are classified as to con-
sistency and as to method of ripen-
ing, if ripening has occurred. Par-
mesan, romano and sapsago are a
few of the very hard, ripened
cheeses which are grated forsook
ing use.
Cheddar, swiss and gruyers are
some of the ripened hard cheeses.
Brick, muenster, port du salut,
gorgonzola and blue arc semi-soft
ripened cheeses while bel phese,
brie and camembert are softened
ripened cheese and ricotta. pri-
most cottage and cream cheeses
are soft, unripened cheeses.
IWant a smoky flavor? Burning
charcoal itself will give a mild
smoky teste to barbecue meats.
For a stronger smoky flavor and
aroma, Mrs Gwendolyne Clyatt
suggests mixing a liltle green hick-
ory with charcoal- Soak the hickory
in water first to prevent flaming,
adds the Extension consumer mar-
keting specialist. Another way is
to add liquid smoke preparation to
barbecue sauce.
Newspaper Power
Political and economic independ-
ence are inseparable. No better il-
lustration of this fact can be found
than in the operation of that main-
stay of liberty, the free press. To
be free the press must be self-sup-
porting.
The practical side of press free-
dom was described by the advertis-
ing director of a major metropoli-
tan newspaper: “While the First
Amendment (to the U. S. Consti-
tution) guarantees freedom of the
press, it is the strength provided
by advertising revenues that makes
it possible. . . No subsidized press
can hope to be objective and unbias-
ed in news treatment or editorial
policy. . . I believe that Amer-
ica’s newspapers ... by advertis-
ing’s vigor-imparting revenues, are
the most objective, the most in-
formative, and the most reliable
newspapers in the world.”
The oft heard statement that
private enterprise and a free press
will live or die together is no ex-
aggeration. Neither is it an ex-
aggeration to point out that repre-
sentative government and liberty
itself will stand or fall with private
enterprise and a free press. And
so we should be thankful for the
advertising horsepower that keeps
a good newspaper solvent.
