Show ' W '.V vv' REVIEW. . April 14. 1966 -- THE BUTTON BOX Cookbooks Are To Read by Pat Cummings who do a great business every year in renting canoes, tents, Anyone who enjoys reading cookbooks and who doesnt have a copy of George Leonard Herter's "Bull Cook Recipes & Practices is missing out on one of the most ' intriguing little booklets ever published. There is a real art to collecting and reading cookbooks. Some books are merely groups of recipes, each one in its proper section. These are, of course, quite useful in the kitchen. Others, such as the popular Joy of Cocking, have a line or so of explanation or exhortation before most of the recipes. My favorite cookbooks for reading and enjoyment are those which involve a lot of preliminary talk and discussion with each recipe, sometimes half a page of talk to ten lines of recipe. And when it comes to talk and discussion, George Leonard Herter. is my man. guns, and cooking and fishing and camping equipment Mr. Herter, through his years of camping and outfitting, has written many pamphlets and books, among them The Professional Way to Use An Axe, Fitting and Finishing Gunstocks, and The Only Way to Professionally Fillet and Clean Fish. (Mr. Herter is quite fond of Hie phrase the only way... and when it comes to fish, I have to admit he is right.) His cookbook is just about my favorite reading Mr. Herter is a man of decided opinions and facts... and he reads very well late at night. Perhaps I dont always agree with him, but it is a joy to encounter someone who feels he Is so always right Especially when he can usually prove it! His varied recipes come from all over the world, from all centuries down to the present Some be has collected himself; others were given to him from friends of foreign descent. Take his recipe for cooking lobster. The Italians the pressure cooker he writes, and although they are not good but for one thing and that is cocking lobster, you must have one.

If you broil or cock lobster in boiling water, it causes the flesh to become tough and stringy and very unpalatable, with' a strong iodine taste, yet these are the methods used throughout North America. So far, I not have tried his lobster recipe, but I have a feeling he is probably right. Mr. Herter on baking potatoes - an old Indian method. Take a large, metal pan, fill it with fine sand, bury the potatoes in it, and bake in the oven for one hour at 400 degrees. A much flakier baked potato," says Mr. Herter. Mr. Herter on pork roast Japanese style. Sprinkle the roast with cinnamon and rub in well. Poke holes into the roast with a skewer and work a little cinnamon down in. According to the Minnesota Chef, this does wonders for pork. (Recipe from Japanese cooks in lumber camps). The one subject that really sets him off is how to french-fr- y anything. The only way to do it is to use fresh beef fat rendered from fresh suet. He explains in great detail why none of the other fats commonly used will do the job correctly. Having rendered down some suet following his instructions, and having fried up a pot of french fries, I discovered that the great Mr. Herter is right again.

If for nothing else than this solution to an insurmountable problem do I appreciate Mr. Herter and his Indian lore;, because I once lived in the middle of six wooded acres a hill known locally as Skunk Hill."

FILM ADVANCE: The film advance is a knob or crank usually located on the side or top of the camera and advances the film alter a picture has been tak. Each time a picture is taken Ms knob must be wound until the next of the film (these sectis are called unexposed secti ls ls. frames) is positied properly inside the camera. There is normally a small window in the back of the camera, covered with a piece of transpart red plastic. Through this window, numbers on the film can be read. The film transport knob should be wound until the next number appears ctered in the small window. ALWAYS remember to wind the film after each exposure or you will take e picture top of the other, ruining both pictures.

This tlitxe we take up the camera, its functions and how to handle it We will discusS th simple bOX Camera' Before we begin, have the camera you will be using in front of you so thatvarious parts canbe identified. So, hurry now, run and get it. To begin with, a camera is nothing more than a light tight box designed to hold the film and expose it. All of the various a camera are designed to aid In the exposure of gadgets the film and to keep extraneous light from striking the film. Now, examine the camera you have before you and find the following; (refer to the accompanying illustration to guide you). THE LENS: The lens is a piece of glass ground to focus the light reflected from an object to the film In order to expose the film. Because Ms lens is ground to a precise mathematical formula, please regard it with a certain amount of awe and wonder and do not, I repeat, DO NOT touch it with fingers, scratch it, or otherwise abuse it. DO deep it clean. This may be by wiping it with a soft, clean, lint free piece of cloth or a special piece of lens paper, available at any photography store. Do not breathe on the glass and then wipe it and never spit the lens. If lens accidently becomes finger marked or gummy looking, a regular window glass cleaner may be used if it is sprayed on a corner of the cloth and the lens wiped with light circular strokes. Avoid spraying the cleaner directly the lens as the lens Is often mounted with a resin type glue and the solvent may loos the lens If too much is used SHUTTER RELEASE; The shutter release is usually a button mounted on the side or top of the camera. As Its name implies, the butt releases the shutter which opens and closes rapidly, allowing only a certain amount of light to pass. The shutter is m ually located behind the lens. The release Is connected to it by a wire or a spring. Since the film can ly use a certain amount of light in order to properly expose it, the shutter stays closed until you push the shutter release. Th it very briefly (for about 125 to 150 of a second) allowing a certain amount of light to come through the lens and strike the film. de RED FLANNEL HASH 4 medium beets, boiled 3 medium potatoes, cooked 2 cups chopped corned beef, cooked . by Mike Edwards ed 1 order the cover and carry Spring will creep into the tree Hotel Utahs Lafayette Room out the old fashled flair next Saturday as society dines inside the with the etchand dances at the Holy Cross ing of a hurricane lamp.
