A TOAST TO KING APPLE
By MISS JOHNNIE CAMP
Social Service Director, Yirgin'a
Electric & Power Company
After a long, faithful experi
ence, the apple is recognized as
King of fruits. May it always be
so!
Down thru the ages since Eve
was in Eden, the apple has figur
ed in myths, legends and history.
The Trojai. Was was supposed
to have been the direct result o,
Eris throwing the Apple of Dis
cord among her rival goddesses.
Ij'n "Arabian Nights,” Prince
Ahmed owned a wonderful apple
that would cure any disorder.
The gods, in Scaninavian myths
insured their immortality by tast
ing the Apple of perpetual youth.
And there was the apple that
William Tell shot from the head
of his brave young son. with an
arrow.
The apple caused Sir lsace New
to to become thoughtful about
gravity.
The Romans, in ancient times
held apples in high regard and al
ways used them for dessert a
formal banquets.
Byron, Stevens, Whittier a n (
various other poets sang the
praise of apples. Whittier, re
lating his joys as a barefoot boy,
says:
“Mine on bending orchard trees
Apples of Hesperides.”
Our grandparents knew nothing
about vitamilnes, but there was
an old adage about apples and doc
tors which was proven time over
again. Barrels of apples reposed
in the cellar to be consumed dur
ing the long cold winters; apples
or the family, grouped around the
lamp on the center table—reading,
sewing or studying the “three
R’s;’’ apples to be bobbed for in
tubs of icy water at Halloween;
apples for baking with the suck
ling pig for Thanksgiving.
And apple is king today. In
this country alone may be found
hundreds of varieties. Modern
apple raising is a science. Skill
ed hands must graft, prune and
spray to produce the finest fruit.
Now we hear of the seedless and
colorless apple by Burbank and |
Spencer; what a revolutionizing
factor that will be in the apple
growing industry.
More apples are consumed at
this time than ever before, altho
the ways of preparing them have
been changed. Thanks to t h e
many varieties, climates in the
many sections of the country and
mfjlern fcilities, we have them
fresh all year round. We are not
forced to eat them dried, between
the long seasons.
No two apples are exactly alike
in appearance, texture and flavor,
altho their value as a food varies
little. Most of the vitamin c.
which we need as an aid to di
gestion, to keep our “school girl”
complexion and make our eyes
sparkle, is found in the peel. Evi
dnetly mother nature intends all to
be eaten.
The modern artist-cook’s crea
tions with apples are lovely to be
hold and delicious to a fault_for
we can eat only so much utilized
in salad relishes, apple snow, char
lottes, pies, puddings, cakes, frit
ters, pickled, canned, preserved,
made into marmalade, jlly, baked
fried, stewed, or raw the apple is
faithful to the end.
Fried Apples and Bacon
Wash and core apples, then cut
them into thin slices. Fry bacon
until crisp, remove from pan.
Place apples in drippings; fry un
til brown. Drain off excess grease
keeping the pan hot. Replace over
keening the pan hot. Replace over I
unit, add small amount of water
