Grandma Sez Reluctantly, we say good-bye t' summertime, an' this year Mother Nature has blessed us wi' a beautiful autumn season. Last year, most o' th' trees were sans their leaves afore th' ghosties an' goblins were about, an' it was a chill in th' air, t' discourage a lot o' 'em, when th' ghostly night arrived. No tellin' what that ol' Weather Man '11 take a notion t' hand out, when th' time arrives t' brave the' dark o' night, an' join th' crowd, in trick's 'r treats.1 When this grandma was a tyke, younguns didn't go about a beggin' th' treats. Some mischievous kiddies went about a ringin' door bells, throwin' dried corn at a few winders, an' they did th' merchants a turn, a markin' up th' store winders wi' soap. Seems that it took a later group o' culprits t' interduce th' use o'. wax. There were a lot o' stunts pulled off, at th' neighborin' farms, an' many's th' tale o' nearly a bein' caught, right in th' middle o' th' act. Me thinks it's a lot better t' have parties, an' family doin's, taffv-nulls. popcorn balls, duckin' f'r ap ples, an' lots o' fun, wi'out a doin' tricks t' make work f'r folks, who' really don't d'serve th' punishment. Me own daddy used t' take me out, on that night, t' see th' ghosts, witches, an' goblins, wi' me little jack-o'-lantern, lit up wi' a candle, inside, an' this ol' lady r'members it all, an' how me heart'd pounded, when one o' th' characters approached. It was all fun, an' no one got much th' worst o' it. Th' thing that bothers this granny's when adults take advantage o' th' time, an' go about "tricks *r treatin"'. Leave it t' th' youngsters, says I. It don't b'come th' grownup young folks, who like t' think o' 'emselves as adults, t' go about actin' like children. Now, t' all th' kiddies, have a fun Hal-o'-'een. Stay out o' mischief, an' have a real good time. Me ol' corn-popper '11 be busy, a making' th' ol' fashioned kind, in readiness f'r all me littl^ friends, an' no one enjoys a seem' 'em, all dressed up f'r th' occasion, more than this ol' granny.

Bacteria Can Thrive Happily In Danger Zone Fresh Bartletts In Quick Pear Crumble Is the food you cook safe to eat? Recent studies by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture show that home cooks need more help in keeping clean foods safe. The simple fact is that most of us do not do a good job of food handling. Two simple rules are: "keep hot foods hot" and "keep cold foods cold." Yet many home cooks cheer fully thaw foods all day on the kitchen counter and cool foods in a pot on the back of the stove^Wrong, all wrong. The whole idea behind keep ing foods either hot or cold is to prevent growth of bacteria. The danger zone is the tem perature range from 60°F. to 125#F. Bacteria grow and multiply quite happily at this temperature range. "Keep hot foods hot" means keeping them at 165#F. or hotter. Although some bacteria are killed at 125#F., many just stop multiplying at that temperature. It is the presence of bacteria in large quantities which cause many of the food-related stomach upsets today. "Keep cold foods cold" is the other way to prevent growth of bacteria. At temperatures below 40®F. most bacteria do not grow. However, holding frozen foods between 10°F. and 32°F. does allow some bacteria to grow slowly. This is why experts in food sanita tion urge us to only store frozens in the home refrigerator freezer for a week or two. Large home freezers, which store foods at 0°F. or colder, are ideal for storage of frozen foods for months at a time.

Slices of fresh Western Bartlett pears are tossed with a mixture of graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, butter and a touch of lemon. This winning combination is placed in a casserole and baked for a short time. To make it extra-special, serve warm and pour cream over each serving. Fresh Western Bartlett pears will be in your markets through November. Their sweet and juicy flavor make them perfect for all your baking needs, or for out-of-hand enjoyment. Golden yellow coloring indicates the fruit is ripe and ready to eat. If the pears are slightly green, keep them at room temperature for a few days until the skins turn golden.
