FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1952 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Brides-to-be Make June Silver Choosing Month BT EDNA MILES rpABLE settings gain more prominence in June than in JL any other month of the year with the possible exception of December. June is the month of brides which, in turn, entertaining of all types, from the small and informal to the large, elaborate and lavish parties and gatherings dinners. For this reason, June is also the month in which attention is focused on silver. Brides-to-be pick their patterns; doting parents make sterling silver flatware their gift, almost by tradition. To this initial set, friends and relatives contrib ute the additional serving pieces. Traditional patterns, many of them spartan in their hand some simplicity, still lead the field. But changes in habits of entertaining have meant corresponding changes in silver patterns. Cotton cloths, for instance, are seen in most American homes from breakfast through dinner, often in company with fine bone china and sterling. In place mats, it’s the round shape that’s now seen more frequently than the oblong. Flower fashions wrought in silver have gained acceptance once more and are being shown both with plain and flow ered china. Typified by such patterns as “dancing flowers’* and “florentine lace,” this floral silver combines a feeling of the traditional with the modern. Florentine lace is a pierced pattern with flowers traced in the piercing. Such floral patterns, the bride will be happy to know, are the 'easiest of all to clean since the pattern itself adds a patina while in use and generally requires less care because of the design. “Dancinjr Flowers,** above, roes well with fine decorated patterns.

I T’S TRUE that vegetables have generous amounts of vitamins and minerals in them, but unfor tunately it’s also true that appeal- ling amounts of these can be de stroyed by poor preparation and handling. Check yourself on some of the following points to make cer tain you’re getting the most from vegetables. Bruising causes a rapid loss of vitamins. It’s best not to handle vegetables any more than absolute ly necessary. Be quick; be gentle. The skin on vegetables is a pro tection of vitamin loss to a certain degree. When cut, -vegetables lose vitamin content, being exposed to air. It’s smart to cut or prepare the vegetables just before cooking or before mixing to serve in a salad. Valuable nutrients lie right un derneath the skin of many vegeta bles like potatoes, carrots and other root vegetables. Pare thinly, or better still, scrape. Cook in jack ets, if possible, too. RECIPE OF THE WEEK Coconut Apricot Candy (Makes 2 dozen) % cup dried apricots % cup shredded coconut % teaspoon grated orange rind Vfe teaspoon grated lemon rind 1 tablespoon orange juice Wash apricots, cover with boil-' ing water, let stand 5 minutes; drain. Put apricots and coconut through food chopper. Add orange and lemon rinds and orange juice. Knead mixture un til blended. If candy is dry, add additional orange juice to mois ten If too moist, work in a small amount of confectioners’ sugar. Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar, additional co conut or finely chopped walnut meats. Soaking dissolves minerals and water-soluble vitamins. Keep the vegetables from standing in water. Wash quickly' under a running spray of water. You can start cooking frozen veg etables while they’re still frozen. In fact, it’s better to do this than thaw them first as vitamin C is lost rapidly during the thawing. Swish vegetables in the refrig- irator as soon as they come from garden or market, particularly green vegetables. They won’t wilt as easily. W. H.

The scholarships were awarded on a one-year basis to entering freshmen. Auditions will be announced for future contests during the session of 1952-53. Empress Josephine Credited With Development Of Modern Roses Roses have been cultivated since ancient times, Miss Mar garet Martin, extension food pro duction and conservation special ist, Winthrop College pointed out this week. She adds, however, that it was Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon, who first grew roses for a hobby and began the fascinating work of collecting and hybridizing roses. As a result of her efforts, some of our most beautiful specimens have been de veloped, she states. Miss Martin says roses may be used for almost any purpose in landscaping homes. She explains that generally roses are divided into six classes. She gives the following brief description of these groups and their uses: . '(1) Hybrid ^ perpetuals, which contrary to the name are not perpetual bloomers. They bloom only once, usually early in the season. These are old roses and have been largely replaced by hybrid teas. Examples are Paul Neyron and American Beauty. (2) Hybrid teas — grown for beauty and fragrance (the name tea, because they smell like tea). They are constant bloomers and should be grown only in special beds and not with other flowers or shrubs. An example is Crim son Glory, which is the best all round rose of all roses as scored by the American Rose Society. (3) Polyanthas and Florabundas bear small flowers in clusters and may be used with shrubbery, for bedding borders, and founda tion plantings. A good example is Red Pinocchio. (4) Climbers and ramblers have many uses: For screens, ground covers, pillars, and trell ises. The trend in breeding roses now is to get hybrid tea flowers on climbing bushes. Paul's Scarlet is one of the best climbing roses. (5) Bush roses, Rugosa’s sweet briers, are hardy plants that re quire little special culture. (6) Other roses for various pur poses are Rosa Multiflora, used for ground cover to prevent eros ion and for living fences; Rosa Virginiana, a wild rose good for ground cover, red fruit in autumn and red stems in winter; Rosa Laevigata, our southern Cherokee Rose, shoukj be used more in landscaping. Rosa Wichuraiana or memorial rose, a semi-climber with fragrant white flowers, re quires little care.
