Enjoy Luscious Papaya PAPAYA For years, travlers to Hawaii have enjoyed and carried home the luscious papaya. Until recently, this was the only way mainlanders could enjoy this tropical fruit. Now, however, Hawaiian papaya is rushed almost daily to major markets throughout the other 49 states, says Nancy Moore, McHenry County Extension Home Economist. Although it looks like a melon, papaya is a tree- grown fruit. The Solo papaya Js special hybrid variety, developed for Hawaii's rich black lava soil. With the warm Hawaiian sun and frequent rains, Hawaiian papaya plantations flourish and bear fruit all year. The juicy rose-gold flesh of the papaya is firm and smooth with a flavor reminiscent of a Crenshaw melon and a little like a peach with a rich tropical sweetness. Papayas are pear-shaped, 5 to 6 inches long and average about a pound in weight. Unlike many fresh fruits, papayas can be purchased while still green and will ripen by themselves when le­ ft at room temperature for 3 to 5 days. If you don't plan to us papaya once it's ripe, it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week. As with the avocado or peach, papayas bruise easily. Judge ripeness by eye rather than touch - when the skin color is predominantly yellow- orange, the papaya is fully ripened. Papayas are a nutritious, low calorie fruit. One 7- ounce papaya half contains approximately 80 calories and provides almost twice the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance for vitamin C and more than two-thirds of the U.S. RDA for vitamin At St. John's A. In addition, papayas are low in sodium and< high in potassium which may be helpful for some special diets. Hawaiian papaya is easy to prepare and serve. Unlike many other soft-fleshed fruits, papaya can be cut and prepared ahead of time for serving - it does not darken or discolor. Hawaiians start off their day with cool golden papaya, halved, seeded and served, with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Papaya halves also make edible bowls for filling with a variety of foods. Stuff Hawaiian papaya halves with a poultry, fish, meat or fruit salad mixture for a delicious all-in-one lunch or dinner. The hollow papaya cavity also makes a novel edible container for dips and cocktail sauces...serve with "dunkers" of fresh fruit or seafood. Cubed, Hawaiian papaya is an excellent extender for shrimp or crab cocktails and the flavors blend beautifully. Papaya can be cut into rings and used as a tropical garnish for roasted poultry, baked pork or ham or grilled fish. Diced, sliced, cubed or scooped into balls, Hawaiian papaya adds a tropical touch to fruit salads and compotes. Cubes of Hawaiian papaya, alternating with other compatible foods on a stick, become festive ap­ petizers for entertaining. Mix and match these suggested kebob com­ binations : Papaya with ham cubes, small prawns or crab legs; served with a cocktail sauce for dipping. Papaya alter­ nated with chunks of fresh fruit in season and served with a creamy marshmallow sauce. Papaya wedges speared with cooked chicken or beef strips or bite-size barbecue pork. Or papaya with cubes of assorted mild cheeses, such as Cheddar, jack, edam or gouda; or alternated with cream cheese balls rolled in chopped nuts. For a lovely papaya dessert-salad, gently toss together toasted miniature marshmallows, chopped nuts, pineapple chunks, seedless grapes and sour cream. Fill hollowed papaya halves with a scoop of the creamy fruit mixture. Dust with a favorite spice (nut­ meg, cinnariion, rpace, allspice, cardamon) and garnish with mandarin oranges. The exotic flavor and smooth texture of papaya make many unique desserts possible. For example, for Baked Alaska, Hawaiian- style, fill centers of papaya halves with a scoop of your favorite ice cream. Cover completely with a simple meringue and sprinkle with brown sugar or crushed macaroons. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven 3 to 5 minutes, or until meringue is lightly brown. Halve and seed papayas. Place a scoop of ice cream in each papaya cavity. Serve topped with chocolate fudge sauce and garnish with whipped cream, toasted coconut or almonds. Vary the toppings to suit your mood: crushed pineapple sauce with chopped m a c a d a m i a n u t s ; strawberry sauce with chopped candied ginger; marshallow sauce with chocolate sprinkles. Or, for a simple refreshing Island sherbert, freeze peeled papaya halves. When solid, grate into clear glass dessert dishes, sprinkle lemon or lime juice over all and serve with shortbread or butter cookies concludes Ms.'Moor.

Lutheran Attitudes Mesh For two years, 1975-1977, I had the honor of being president of the National Association of Church Personnel Administrators. Personnel directors in the chyuch learn the importance of focusing on the pastoral needs of the laity. So it was with fascination that I read an article issued by Religious News Service about a four-year reasearch project involving more than 5,000 Lutherans which identified the qualities they most want in their pastors. The researchers said that they did not find much dif­ ference between the members of the three major Lutheran bodies. From my point, of view there wasn't much difference between the attitudes of Catholics and Lutherans on most of these needs. For instance, Lutherans look for pastors who are "persons of faith", Christians for whom Jesus Christ is both Savior and Lord. They also look for their pastors to be able to relate well to people. Catholics want these same qualities in their pastors. Lutherans agree that pastors, whether they like it or not, have to be ad­ ministrators. Thers^S no escaping it. Catholics would agree. Lutherans con­ sistently agree on an in­ dividual "works-of-mercy" approach to alleviating human suffering but there is not much agreement shown when it comes to social reform. Catholics also agree on the need to perform works of mercy but are dividded on social action. Lutherans expect pastors to be prime builders of the fellowship of believers. They view the normal daily ministerial functions such as baptisms, marriages, etc., as occuring within a com­ munity context, rather than seeing them as a private interaction between an in­ dividual, a pastor, and God. Here I think Catholics would be divided in much the same way they are divided on liturgical change in general. It has not been customary for the baptisms of Catholics to be performed as a com­ munity service. This emphasis on com­ munity building has been developing in the Catholic Church since the Second Vatical Council. Marriages, funerals and preaching have always been functions of the ordained minister which were performed in a cdm- munity setting. Now, Catholics are having bap- tims, penitential services, and anointings administered within the context of the parish family. The pastoral job' of community building is not easy, especially in large, sprawling parishes or in big cities. People cherish their privacy. But most Catholics would agree that the Mass is community worship and not a private devotion. All in all I found the comparison quite in­ teresting. I think Catholics and Lutherans are closer than most people realize. We are all brothers and sisters of Jesus under the Fatherhood of God.

(Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County « Readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health "Center staff. This article is "Coping - Consequences , of the Changing Role of Women." As a result of our society's changing attitude towards the role of women, many women who have been housewives for many years now see an opportunity to more fully utilize potential skills that heretofore have remained rather dormant. For many women this means an opportunity to engage in occupations that were for­ merly reserved exclusively for men. There are, however, some problems, expected and unexpected, for the woman in such a position. Ac­ ceptance by co-workers, both men and women can present serious difficulties. Often women find them­ selves having to be even more competent in; a given occupation than a man in the same occupation. In the time period prior to workers accepting a woman in a responsible position, the woman may experience both outright as well as subtle sabotaging of her work. Women also may ex­ perience some resentment in the home if she works. Many husbands feel that their wives should remain in the home to take care of the children and the house. Most particularly, if the woman has a very responsible position, the husband may actually feel as if he is competing with his wife for status. Perhaps most important are the feelings that the woman herself feels about her working.

With the additional burden of criticism from the family and people at work, a woman can easily develop the feeling that she is out of place in a responsible oc­ cupation. The best solution to this dilemma is to talk about her feelings with her family or friends. This will serve the dual purpose of com­ municating to others the importance to the woman to be doing something wor­ thwhile, as well as giving her a chance to verbalize her own fears and misgivings.
