Plentiful in Springtime
~ There is a heavy abundance of
apples, eggs and potatoes in the
U. S. this spring.
The custom of serving apple
sauce with roast pork is. based on
V sound, health reasoning because
apples are an exceptionally whole
some, digestible fruit when cooked
lightly as sauce. '
Do you prefer brown or white
eggs? Your grocer can tell .you
that inside the shell there is no
difference. The color of shells varies
with the breed of hens. The yolk of
eggs is the richest in iron of all
common foods. Eggs should be kept
in a cool, dry place free from strong
¥ odors.
There are record supplies of
"Irish potatoes”—the white potato
— for this time of year. Tliey'rB
good for boiling, baking or mash
ing. Have you noticed the, "inter
national” taste of the potato? The
"Chinese potato” is the YAM, the
"Spanish potato” is the SWEET
POTATO, Hie "Indian potato” is
the tuber of a sunflower or of other
various plants, and the "Canada
potato” is really the JERUSALEM
artichoke.
Meal-size Turkey
* Turkeys are no longer a holiday
item, exclusively. Since meat re
tailers have been cutting up large
birds into meal-size partV turkeys
have become a popular year ’rqund
meat, according to the National As
sociation of Retail Grocers.

About Pork
Did you know that a 240 lb. hog
produces only 10 lbs. of pork chops
and 29 lbs. of ham? No wonder
4 these meat items are such choice
cuts. They are a valuable source of
protein, vitamins and minerals, too.
“Bacon” was the title formerly
applied to all meat from a pig.
Broiling is the best and most fla
vorsome method of cooking the
popular, nutritious meat we now
call bacon. The broiler should be
warm before the slices are put on
and the lire should be brisk;

Moslem Terrorist Arrested
For Plotting Assassination
Of New Premier Of Iran
TEHRAN, Iran, </P)—A Moslem
terrorist was arrested after a gun
battle today with police, who said
he was plotting ’to assassinate
Premier F, Mohammed Mossa
degh.
The Moslem was identified as
Abolghassem Rafiee, the number
two man in Fedayan Islam, the
fanatical religious secret society
which is held responsible for the
slaying of former Premier Ali1
Razmara in March.
Premier Mossadegh has taken
refuge behind locked doors in par-'
liament, fearing threatsf against
his life.
Police quoted RaXiee as saying
“Mossadegh is lucky I am caught.
Otherwise he would have been
shot within the next two or three
days.”
His was the latest incident in
restive Tehran. The parliament’s
action in nationalizing the Anglo-*
Iranian Oil Company has focused
world attention once more on this
potential trouble spot in East
West. relations. .
Tempers are running high. An
editor who is a close advisor to
Mossadegh says Britons face a
“holy war” if they try to obstruct
nationalization.
This was the most violent of
ithe press reactions to* wholly un
confirmed reports that Britain:
plans to send parachute troops to
the Iranian oil fields. Western
diplomats heTe took the threat
with a grain of salt, but the cam
paign is in liAe with Mossadegh’s
tactics in rushing through the oil
nationalization bill — with vague
warnings on unspecified trouble
if the hill were blocked.
