Of This And That
By BETHA DIGREE
Its nice to see Evelyn Rave back
m town again. Evelyn, widow of
the late Fred Rave, and her son,
Kenneth Rhein, returned on the
MSTS O’HARA last Tuesday. She
plans to go to work and will make
her home in Kodiak . . .
Lillian Smith, who has been ill
the past few weeks, is still re
cuperating at home. “I’m feeling
better and hope that I can return
to work next week,” she said
when we called Wednesday to wish
her a “Happy Birthday” . . .
Some of us don’t particularly
care to have another birthday
come along (and we speak from
experience), but Leslie Selig isn’t
among those ... He had his six
teenth birthday Wednesday, Jan
uary 14, and seemed more pleased
than otherwise . . . Just as pleas
ed, and perhaps even more so,
was this writer, who happily turn
ed over to him the job of count
ing papers as they roll off the
press. Our friend (?) from the U.S.
Dept, of Labor can no longer
glower and say, “It's not legal”
. . . What a happy, happy day ...

!-TASTY TREAT-———•
i
: Chicken and Spaghetti
Canned foods on the pantry
shelf mean time saved m the
kitchen!
If you’re one of the many home
makers having outside activities
. . . hospital auxiliary work,
charity fund drive, or even full
time career . . . you know food
preparation time is often cut to
a minimum. Despite a busy sched
ule, hearty meals must still be
prepared. Let canned convenience
foods help solve your important
problem.
Canned boned chicken and
canned spaghetti in tomato sauce
with cheese are just two of the
many items that should appear
on a well stocked pantry shelf.
They combine wonderfully for a
flavorful main dish which is
heated top-of-stove and is table
ready in less than 20 minutes.
Spaghetti Sicilian is a hit in any
dinner or supper menu. With a
tossed green salad and crisp Ital
ian bread, you can dream you’re
in sunny Italy. Then for dessert
. - . fresh fruit and cheese. Coffee,
of course, for the beverage.
SPAGHETTI SICILIAN
H cup chopped green pepper
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 can (5 ounces) boned chlckesn
or turkey
2 cans <15*4 ounces each) spa
ghetti in tomato sauce with
cheese
2 to 3 tablespoons dry red wine
(optional >
Cook green pepper in shorten
ing until tender. Add chicken, spa
ghetti, and wine, if desired. Heat.
Makes 4 to 6 servings. nn
week for medical attention at the
Swedish Hospital in Seattle, is
that the surgery performed on her
Tuesday was successful and she
is recovering satisfactorily. Her
husband, Emil,, tells us that Marge
will remain in the hospital at
least tWo more weeks, but may re
turn home within a month. We
hope Emil is a good cook ... Or
does son Skipper take over that
chore? . . .
Duty (jury duty, that is) called
Charles (Chuck) Edris to Anchor
age last Sunday. He hopes to re
turn home within two weeks . . .
Wonder if his wife, Etta, has to
bottle all that pop at the Kodiak
Bottling Works during his ab
sence ... Think we will ask her if
there is an opening for a pop
sampler . . .
Think we have learned why the
local National Guard unit comple
ment is below normal . . . It’s all
due to the efforts of M/Sgt.
Archie Zehe, station manager of
the Alaska Communications
System here. Seems Archie has
been selling the U.S. Army to the
local boys. Result: Boys join the
army—leave town—and leave the
NG high and dry . . .

Americans Eat
Better For Less
In terms of proportion of in
come spent for food Alaskans and
other U.S. citizens have never
eaten so well for so little. A U.S.
Department of Agriculture analy
sis of family food expenditures
shows that food has never been a
better bargain.
In recent years, according to the
University of Alaska Extension
Service* Americans have been eat
lng greater quantities per person
than ever of higher quality and
more expensive foods. They buy
more and more* of their foods in
partially or wholly prepared form
—washed, trimmed of waste, mix
ed, ready for the oven or range,
or ready to eat. Yet, with all the
extra services and quantities, the
average family is spending a little
less than one-fourth of its dispos
able income for food. This is the
lowest proportion of any time on
record except for the war years
when prices were controlled.
Expenditures for food on a
dollars-per-person basis rose 18
percent from 1948 to 1957, accord
ing to the USD A report. But, dur
ing this same period, per capita
disposable income increased 38
percent.
Food of the same type and
quantity as bought in 1935-39
would have cost only 16 percent of
income, compared to 22 percent
actually spent for food in 1957. In
spending 22 percent, Americans
bought some respite from kitchen
tasks and some extra taste treats.
Spelled out, this meant such things
as more steak and chops versus
hamburger and potatoes, more
cake or cake mixes versus basic
ingredients, more ready-to-eat
main dishes or whole dinners,
more fruits and vegetables shipped
from distant places, and less sea
sonal variation in our diets.
Due to rising wages and costs,
marketing charges on foods are
expected to continue upward as
they have since World War II, but
the proportion of income spent
for food may decline further in the
next few years, say the USD A
economists.
