k^»JJUUjU3AfaUd MUIgKKHBB^^ ■ • '- E j»WWKk® x . START OF SUMMER LIVING The Memorial Day weekend unofficially marks the start of summertime living. With area schools now having completed their terms or will in the next few days, a different living style will be with us for the next three months. This used to be known as vacation time. However, recent years has made the winter almost as popular a vacation time as summer as people flock away from the colder climes. However, for the families with children still in school, this is still the vacation time . . . maybe not the family vacation to points away from home, but vacation from the rigors of school and being confined due to school and the many accompanying activities. A lot of changes in life style occur during the summer, especially when the temperatures truly reflect that it is summer. A different kind of traffic causes a lot of concern on the highways and water sports and activities become very dominate in many lives. There are a lot of additional things to be aware of to keep the summer vacation season a happy and safe fun time. The added traffic on the highways, the change in activities with entertainment centering around parks, lakes and beaches, and just the chance for the young ones to roam and play add to the danger list that can be present in the summer. We can all help keep the summer months happy months by using good judgement and being alert at all times, especially on the highways and streets of our land. Don’t let an accident of any kind take from the summer fun so many enjoy.

Dear Betty Crocker . . . Q. What causes a rubbery layer on the bottom of a chocolate chiffon cake? Mrs. McC.. Ripon, WI A. This happens because egg yolk batter has settled to the bottom of the cake. To prevent this, beat egg whites until stiff and shiny, but not dry. Gently fold egg yolk batter into egg whites just enough to completely blend. Be sure to use vegetable oil rather than melted shortening, butter or margarine. Q. What is turbinado sugar? Does granulated sugar substitute for it? E. K.. Auburn. WA A. Turbinado sugar is partially refined sugar that is higher in molasses than granulated sugar. Thcv may be substituted equally for each other but turbinado has a more distinct molasses flavor. Q. How long does half-and-half keep after the expiration date on the carton? E.N., Stowe, VT A. Expiration axles vary among companies, but generally, half-and-half will keep about five days unopened after expiration date and one or two da vs opened. Discard half-and-half that has curdled and contains small panicles. Do you have a question? Write Dear Bettv Crocker. Box 1113, Dept. Bet tv. Minneapolis, MN 55440.
