Explore Ways With Avocados So you think avocados are something new. In a way you're right, since they've only been grown and marketed on a large scale in recent years. But the very ancient Aztecs, Incas and Mayans enjoved avocados thou- sands of years ago. One of the re- doubtable Cortez' men described avocados like this: "It is like but. ter and is of marvelous flavor", a statement that can hardly be improved upon today. Here's a salad that is the ex- ception to the rule not to serve mayonnaise with avocados. But it's worth breaking rules for: FLUFFY AVOCADO SALAD Halve small avocados scoop out the pulp, leaving the shell whole. Mash the pulp with a fork until smooth. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and onion juice. Whip with cream cheese and mayon- naise until fluffy, then stir in crumbled crisp bacon. Heap back into the shells and serve on let- tuce with french dressing, plain or with sliced stuffed olives added. ; Cream cheese dip for potato chips is as popular as frosty drinks at parties. This dip is dif- ferent enough to show you have a mind of your own, and de- licious enough to prove you know a good thing when you taste it. AVOCADO DIP FOR POTATO CHIPS Push very ripe avocados through a sieve. Blend in salt, pepper, garlic salt or juice, and onion juice. Now add a little wor- cestershire, and a faint trace of mustard. Beat until fluffv .Serve very cold with potato chips or crackers. : Bright red apples and golden grapefruit are back with us. Time to serve them in a salad with the tang of the first fall day and mel- low as the last day of summer, thanks to the avocado. INDIAN SUMMER SALAD On crisp salad greens alternate slices of unpeeled red apple, grapefruit sections and avocado slices. Serve with lemon juice french dressing. Like pears and bananas, avo- cados are much better to eat when ripened off the tree. So don't pass them up at your grocer's if they're too firm. You can ripen them perfectly in your own Kkitcken, and won't have bruised fruit from someone else's pinches. Just tuck them in your fruit bowl at room temperature until they yield to gentle pressure in your hand.

On such occasions the big question of course is what to serve. If you're looking for something easy to make and tasty to eat, some- thing that goes a long way to- ward satisfying those hearty late- October appetites, Herb Hambur- ger Buns are the answer.

A lower golf score, a bigger dahlia, a flakier pie crust are twice as worthwhile when there's a friendly competition in- volved. Did you know we enjoy much finer pears as a result of such a rivalry? In the middle of the last cen- tury there developed a contest among the French gentry to out- do one another producing finer pears. The fad died out, but we enjoy such luscious pears as Comice, Bosc, Nelis, and Anjou because of it. These "French pears" are so tender, juicy and delicate in fla- vor it seems a shame to cook them. And they're sweet enough for dessert just as they are. Some evening or Sunday soon after a rather heavy meal -- for instance, one featuring pork -- serve this very simple and very pretty dessert: On individual plates arrange a Perfect pear cut in half and cored. On one side of the pear arrange slices of unpeeled red Delicious apple and on the other side slices or a wedge of your favorite cheese. (Gruyere or Camembert is nice, as is plain Canadian). Garnish with a cluster of bright grapes. Sprinkle the cut pears and apples with orange juice to prevent darkening. You might substitute salted nuts for the cheese, if you prefer. The bite of Roquefort cheese combines deliciously with the smooth flavor of pears in a salad. | Slice the pears in half and core. Arrange on salad greens. Add Roquefort cheese to French dressing and fill the centers of the pears. Or to put spring in fall, fil the hollows of cored pears with cream cheese = and mint jelly beaten together. Serve as a garnish with lamb, This one may raise a few eye- brows but it'll delight the taste buds too: Peel and slice ripe fresh pears and cover with warm chocolate sauce. Serve immed- iately.
