FRI., SEPT., 27, 1968- PLAiNDEALEk - pg. 3 Cooking Tips On European Cruise HPS ON SELECTING CANTALOUPE, You can eliminate the guess work from selecting top-quality cantaloupes if you learn to recognize the signs of maturity and ripeness, Geraldine Acker, University of Illinois Extension foods specialist recommends that you look for these three major signs of full maturity: --The stem should be gone, leaving a smooth, symmetrical, shallow basin called "a Ml slip". If all or part of the stem base remains, or if the stem scar is jagged or torn, the melon is probably not fully matured. --The netting or veining should be thick, coarse and corky. It should stand out in bold relief over the melon surface. --The skin color between the netting should have changed from green to yellowish-buff, yellowish-gray or pale yellow. In addition to checking for signs of maturity, you should be sure the melon is ripe. A ripe cantaloupe will have a yellowish cast to the rind, have a pleasant cantaloupe odor and will yield slightly to light thumb pressure on the blossom end. While some cataloupes displayed in retail stores may be ripe, most have not yet reached their best eating stage. Keep them for two to four days at room temperature to allow completion of ripening. Avoid overripeness, shown by a pronounced yellow rind color and a softening over the entire rind. Small bruises normally will not hurt the fruit. But large bruises generally cause soft, water soaked areas underneath the rind. Mold growth on the cantaloupe particularly in the stem scar, is a sign of decay.

A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that tho$®» United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States."
