Ladies’ Column •BANGS LOLLIPOPS APPEAL TO ALL AGES With fruit more popular than ever as the final course for dinner, you can depend on Florida citrus fruits to furnish you with plenty of variety right now. The Valencias are wonderfully juicy, and sliced or sectioned, or teamed with other fruits, they make delicious and healthful fruit bowls. The grapefruit from Florida is unusually tangy and yet sweet, and broiled or topped with a sprig of mint, grapefruit halves will do nicely to finish off lunch or dinner—and you’ll feel better for having eaten so wisely and so well. This novel orange dessert will make a special hit. Serve it on the fork on which you roll it, and dessert is done in a twinkling! Florida Cinnamon Oranges 4 Florida oranges 1/4 cup granulated, powdered or sifted confectioners’ sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon Cut off orange peel in a long stifli going around orange and cutting deep enough to remove white membrane. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Spear oranges on fork: roll in sugar mixture. 4 servings.

HOW TO FRY CHICKEN Young chicken oi any size may be fried. Chickens may be halved, quartered, or disjointed and cut up to give 11 or 12 pieces drumsticks, 2 second joints, 2 or 3 pieces of breast, 2 wings, 2 pieces of back, and neck. Each piece should have it own section of skin. 1. For each pound of chicken, blend 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper (1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning optional) in a paper bag. Shake chicken, 2 or 3 pieces at a time, in bag to coat evenly. Save any leftover flour for gravy. 2. Heat 1/2 inch of cooking fat in a skillet until a drop of water just sizzles. 3. Start browning meaty pieces first, slipping less meaty pieces in between as chicken browns. 4. Turn as necessary with kitchen tongs or two spoons to brown and cook evenly. 5. When chicken is uniformly browned, 15 to 20 minutes, reduce heat, cover tightly and cook slowly until tendei, 20 to 40 minutes, depending on size and thickness of pfcc es. The liver and precooked heart, gizzard and neck may be floured and browned with chicken the last 15 minutes. 6. If the pan cannot be covered tightly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. 7. Uncover last 5 to 10 minutes •to recrisp skin. 8. Test for doneness: The chicken is done when meat on the thickest part of drumstick cuts easily and there Is no pink color visible. 9. Lift chicken to a warm platter. Prepare gravy in pan drippings.

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN This method is excellent when ;wo or more chickens are being fried. 1. Coat chicken with seasoned flour. “See To Fry.” 2. Brown pieces of chicken in at least 1/2 inch layer of fat in a neavy skillet. If a large quantity of chicken is being prepared the browning will be much faster if a 1 to 2-inch layer of fat is used. 3. Place golden-browned chicken one layer deep in a shallow baking pan. 4. For each chicken spoon a mixture of 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 2 tablespoons of broth or milk over the chicken. 5. Continue the cooking in a moderate oven (350° F.) until chicken is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Turn once to crisp evenly. During the cooking more broth or milk may be drizzled over chicken if it appears dry. Test the doneness the same as for fried chicken. 6. Serve hot or cold with barbecue sauce if desired.

LEMON MINT JULEPS BEAT THE HEAT When the temperature soars and all summer breezes blow hot, it’s time to cool off with a frosty pitcher of Lemon Mint Juleps. This beverage is a wonderful pepper-upper for that mid-after-noon summer wilted feeling and equally refreshing for sipping through warm evenings. All lemon drinks pep you up in the heat because lemons contain so much vitamin C the nutrient which helps restore your pep and vitality that disappears so fast during summer. To make the lemon julips seem more gala, frost the rims of the glasses as well as the mint. When you’/e squeezing lemons for the beverage, pour several teaspoons of the juice into a shallow saucer. Dip the rim of each glass into lemon juice, then into granulated su*, Let tne glasses stand, right side us, while you’re mixing the lemonade. For every lemon julep, allow approximately one lemon and two tablespoons of sugar (more or less, depending on the sweetness you desire). For a pitcher of Lemon

Mint Juleps, crush several sprigs of mint with the juice of six lemons plus one and one-half cups sugar. Stor well; add six cups cold water and lots of ice cubes. Use thin slices of lemons and mint leaves dipped in sugar as perky garnishes. STATIC Eddie Cantor surprised Video Row last week by signing a seven year contract to do a half-hour filmed series. The contract is said to call for 39 films a year and Eddie’s take-home pay is reported to be $9,000,000 over that period.

Health note from Jeff Cain of Du Mont’s “Marge and Jeff”: “Never smoke a pipe while driving a foreign car. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve tried and each time the ashes blow into both eyes. This makes it annoying to drive. I wish the MG or Jaguar people would investigate.” . . .
