Aunt Martha’s Salmon Loaf
Savory and satisfying — that’s
this piping hot salmon loaf.
Bake it in an old-fashioned fish
mold for a different looking
loaf! It looks lovely decorated
to resemble a fish. But cooked
in a mold or a loaf pan, it’s a
perfectly seasoned sa’mon main
dish made refres1''"': with lots
of lemon juice.
SALMON LOAF

Drain the juice salmon

liquid. Flake the salmon. Add
the milk mixture, onion, pi
miento, lemon juice, egg, black
pepper and cooked rice. Mix

9"x 5"x 2 W loaf pan holding at
least 5 cups with shortening or
salad oil. Use a greased fish mold

oven, if desired. Pour in the sal
mon mixture. Place in a pre
heated 350°F. oven. Bake about
55 minutes or until a knife in
serted in the center comes out
almost clean. This is a moist
loaf. The loaf will brown around
the edges and pull away from
the sides of the pan.
While the loaf bakes, make the
sauce. Cook the green pepper in
the Vz cup water about 7 min
utes or until tender. Stir in the
celery soup. Season with salt
and pepper if desired. Heat un
til very hot. Add a small amount
of water until the sauce is the
consistency desired.
When the loaf is done, remove
from the oven and allow to
stand about 5 minutes. Run a
knife around the sides. Place a
large platter over the pan and
invert. Remove the loaf pan.
Garnish the loaf with pimiento
strios, lemon wedges, hard-.,
cooked egg slices or parsley. If
a fish mold has been used, dec
with the hot celery-green pep
per sauce.

Give Your House
A Raincoat
Tight construction and a fiood
coat of paint used to be considered
the best protection against weather
damage to wood used in buildings.
But these frequently prove inade
quate, as anyone knows who has
struggled with problems of blister
ed paint and rotting wood on the
exterior of his house. Now an extra
'‘raincoat” is available. It’s a water
repellent wood preservative.
The preservative, according to C.
Ivan Branton, Agricultural Engine
er for the Alaska Agricultural Ex
tension Service, is ipentachlorophe
nci, often referred to simply as
“penta.” This can be purchased
Lind*2r various trade names, already
mixed in a water repellent solu
tion, or as a concentrate to be
mixed according to directions giv
en on the label.
Tests carried out at the Forest
Products Laboratory of the U. S.
Forest Service at Madison,' Wis.,
show that wood siding readily ab
sorbs moisture when it is subjected
to-a driving rain or water running
down over it. Due tb capillaijy ac
tion—the tendency of a liquid in
contact with a solid to flow up
ward—raindrops actually climb up
under the siding. On a newly paint
ed house a paint film may stop this
action, but the slightest crevice
permits the joints to soak up water
like a sponge. When this happens
paint blisters or, as the water
drips out the same way it entered,
it leaves streaky stains from wood,
building paper or rusty nails.
In replacing rotted siding, soak
or dip the new wood in a penta
solution, suggests Branton. Or if
boards are sound and the house
simply needs repainting, scrape
and sand blistered areas. Then, be
fore new paint is applied, brush a
penta, water-repellent preservative
into overlap joints and butt ends.
Joints on door and window trims
and house corners should be treat
ed too, especially where old paint
has loosened. Excess penta that
runs down over the paint should be
wiped off with a cloth dampened
with paint thinner. Allow the penta
to dry thoroughly before the house
is repainted.
If you are building a new house,
Branton suggests that you ask your
contractor about the possibility of
obtaining treated lumber. More
and more lumber yards are install
ing equipment to soak or pressure
treat wood with pentachlorophe
nol. Life added to the wood and re
pair bills saved justify the expense
of treatment, says Branton.
