j j The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, June 18, 1970—PAGE 11 Active Year for Pretty Californian As 15th American Dairy Princess When candidates from 30 states gathered for the selec tion of the 1989-70 American Dairy Princess in Chicago last year, their first meeting was an informal group picture taking session. One returned from it to report positively to her mother, serving as her contest chaperone, “It’s got to be the girl from California.” She was right. The red roses and sparkling crown went, three days later, to Frances Mary Bispo, 20, a dark-eyed brunette from Merced, California. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Bispo, she lives with her parents and two younger brothers on a 36- acre dairy farm with a herd of 45 Holsteins. Royal Appearances Her coronation started the 5'6" Merced Junior College sophomore on a round of ac tivities as official representa tive of American Dairy Asso ciation’s dairy farmer mem bers, speaking up for milk. She poured milk for the Western Conference cham pion Oakland Raiders foot fall team during a photo as signment. As guest of honor, she greeted the 6,000 dairy men and their families who gathered for the year’s larg est dairy convention — the second annual meeting of Milk Producers, Inc.—in Fort Worth, Texas. There she shared billing with such no tables as economist Dr. Wal ter W. Heller of the Univer sity of Minnesota, Texas gov ernor Preston Smith, and Bill Dana, the “Jose Jiminez” of television fame. At International Milk Day in Buffalo, New York, Frances was joined by other dairy royalty — princesses from England and Wales, Canada, the Province of Ontario, and New York State. She was in terviewed at the Los Angeles County Fair for a segment of the NBC television program, “Agriculture, U.S.A.,” which was aired on 50 stations throughout the country. Frances will spend the $2,000 cash scholarship, which goes with her title, on fur thering her education. She feels her experience as Amer ican Dairy Princess will be valuable to her in whatever career she pursues. She’ll cap her year as American Dairy Princess with a flurry of June Dairy Month appearances. And though she’ll end her reign with some regrets that it’s over, she will have more time to devote to her favorite pas times — riding, baseball, bas ketball and sewing — after she crowns her successor the last of June. A Summer “Nog” If you’ve been thinking of nogs as winter’s special sip ping pleasures, think again. This light and cool one is de signed with summer in mind. Indeed, it takes its name — Waikiki Nog — from the exotic state where summer's never out of season. It’s simple to put together — a “must” in the leisurely islands scheme of living. Just beat chilled milk until frothy with egg yolks, sugar and a dash of salt. Then add Hawaii an flavor via the special in gredient, pineapple-grapefruit juice drink. For fluffy light ness, beat the egg whites into airy peaks, then gently fold in the fruit juice mixture. Top off Waikiki Nogs with scoops of vanilla ice cream. The unusual combination of creaminess and tart-sweet cit rus flavor makes for refresh ing summer sipping. WAIKIKI NOG 2 cups milk 4 egg yolks % cup sugar % teaspoon salt 2 cups pineapple*grapefruit juice drink 4 egg whites 1 quart vanilla ice cream Nutmeg In a large bowl, combine milk, egg yolks, sugar and salt; beat until foamy. Stir in pineapple- grapefruit juice drink. In large mixer bowl, beat egg whites until stiff; fold in fruit juice mixture. Ladle into glasses. Add scoop of ice cream to each glass. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Makes eight 8-oz. glasses or 12 punch cups. Royal Way with Melon a la Mode To crown dinner with a regal touch that’s refreshing as well, remember this easy idea —a pleasure to look at and to eat. Bring cantaloupe and ice cream to the table in the shape of fanciful little crowns. Halve the melons scallop-style. Fill with straw berry ice cream. “Jewel” with melon balls — fresh berries, too, if you like. Voila! Des sert fit for a king. CANTALOUPE A LA MODE 2 medium cantaloupes 1 pint strawberry ice cream Strawberries, optional Halve cantaloupes in “scal loped” fashion; remove seeds. Scoop out several melon balls Fill each half with a large scoop of ice cream; garnish with melon balls and straw berries, if desired. Yield: 4 servings. 55 YEARS of Growth in Newberry County During Dairy Month# hats off to our Dairy Farmers# for their substantial contribution to the prosperity of this area# and for their vital service in providing us with delicious# healthful dairy foods.
