BEEF BEST WHEN AGED
Beef—like cheese, wines, and
lumber—is the better for a little
aging, according to nutritionists of
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture.
Ordinarily, beef reaches the re
tail market one to two weeks after
slaughter. Aged or ripened beef,
however, is held under controlled
temperature and humidity for a
longer time. During aging, the ex
terior lean turns darker in color.
The meat becomes more tender
and juicy and develops character
istic aged flavor that many people
like. The extent of the change in
flavor depends on the length of
the ripening period.
You pay more for aged than for
unaged beef because it is held
longer and there is added cost for
refrigeration and for loss from
shrinkage and additional trim
ming.
Regardless of its age or grade,
however, beef marketed across
state lines is inspected for cleanli
ness and wholesomeness by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. The
round purple stamp on large meat
cuts, or the label “U.S.Inspected
and Passed by Department of Ag
riculture” printed on package,
can or jar, is the buyer’s assur
ance that the meat has been ap
proved as wholesome food.
Bring to a vigorous boil. Turn
the heat as low as possible.
Cover with a lid and leave over
this low heat 14 minutes. After
the rice cooks 14 miritrtes, re
move the saucepan from the
heat but leave the lid on until
ready to serve, at least 10 min
utes.
While the rice cooks, cut the
cheese into six strips about 21s
inches long, but shorter than the
salami slices are wide. Roll a
slice of salami around each
strip of cheese. The cheese
should be completely covered.
Fasten the salami roll with a
wooden toothpick.
Melt the butter or margarine in
a large skillet. Add the salami
cheese rolls and quickly brown
on one side. Turn and brown on
the other. Some of the cheese
may cook out of the rolls. After
the salami-cheese rolls are
browned, stir in the tomato
sauce, water and pickle relish.
Heat, stirring frequently.
To serve, place the hot rice on
a platter. Arrange the salami
rolls over the top. Pour the
sauce over Ihe rice and salami
cheese rolls.
Makes 6 servings.
Mrs. Kraft was presented with
a going-away gift from the Garden
Club by President Bea Nachtweih.

Walter Kraft was held Sunday,

Noted Alaskan Artist’s
Paintings On Display
Jeanne Laurence, a noted Alas
kan artist who is currently visit
ing Kodiak, has her paintings on
display in the lobby of the Bank
of Kodiak.
To say that Alaskan scenes are
the specialty of this artist would
be stating only a-half truth. True,
she has caught the majesty of
some of it’s great peaks and rug
ged terrain, it’s rock-bound bays
and inlets, and projecting bould
ers, grim and foreboding markers
to the mariner and fisherman,
trees and foliage by the shores of
many lakes—these scepes eyed by
the artist are vividly depicted on
canvas. ,,*
However, Mrs. Laurence ; has*
not lost sight of the beauty under
foot—the Alaskan wildflowers—
and has conveyed on canvas many
of the varieties that abound in
this great north country that she
loves so well. But, more about that
later.
Mrs. Laurence came to Alaska
with her husband, the late Sydney
Laurence, 29 years ago.. Aside
from frequent trips to Califomia,
in the interests of her health, she
has been here ever since she first
came as the bride of her famous
husband. Laurence’s paintings are
famed throughout the world, one
of which hangs in the Louvre in
France, an honor accorded few
Americans.
Mrs. Laurence saw the need for
a book on Alaskan flowers. She
has traveled in many parts of Al
aska, and has spent months in
various localities to get the “feel"
as she puts it, of the country, in
order to convey its meaning to the
canvas. This book, which is now
in the hands of the publisher, has
paintings of more than three hun
dred Alaskan flowers.
Jeanne Laurence is a white hair
ed, vivacious woman of French or
igin. Her sparkling eyes glow with
intense interest as she tells her
listener about her paintings,
Though she has her studio in An
chorage, she spends her summer
months in the outer regions in
search of subjects. Her travels
have taken her to Southeastern,
to Fairbanks, in and around An
chorage, Seward and Kenai Pen
insulas. She has spent consider
able time in the Katmai area, and
has some beautiful paintings of
scenes along the shores of Gros
venor Lake. Another spot that she
spoke of with considerable enthus
iasm was Mt. McKinley. Asked as
to what part of Alaska she liked
-hest, she. was noncommittal. “So
much o{ it is beautiful,” she said
Mrs. Laurence expects to spend
two or three’ months here—paint
ing all the while. This is her first
trip to Kodiak, What she has seen,
she says, is beautiful, although
she has only been here since
Thursday. While here she is stay
ing .91 the home of Margaret Light
foot.
CLOTHING TO VILLAGES
i'i When the U. S. Coast Guard Cut
ter Winona departed Kodiak Wed
nesday morning, she carried in her
hold the good wishes of the people
of the Kodiak Naval Station, ex
pressed by 72 large cartons of
clothing destined for some of the
remote villages of the Aleutian Is
lands and the Bering Sea.
The boxes, containing a large
variety of clothing, toys an^ shoes,
were the result of a drive origi
nated by the Senior Coast Guard
Wives Club at Kodiak and coordin
ated by a committee headed by
Mrs. Rita Loose.
IN APPRECIATION
I wish to thank everyone in Ko
diak for their kindness.

You’re ’way ahead of them all for action when you drive this
glamorous go-getter . . .
And you’re away ahead in value, too—for, believe it or not,
you can own this big and brawny beauty- for less than you’d
have to pay for 43 models of the three small cars!
Here’s the perfect way to break the small-car habit. Drive
it—price it—today!
