Brail Meat to Add Flavor, Says Nutrition Specialist You know there's something spe cial about a broiled steak, and there are other meats that seem extra good when broiled. Frances Cook, foods and nutri tion specialist. University of Illi nois college of agriculture, lists these meats as excellent for broil ing: Steak or ground meat one inch thick, lamb chops one inch thick, liver one-half inch thick, ham one half inch thick, and fish steaks. These take about 15 minutes to broil. Remember a few simple rules for perfection when you broil meat, M iss Cook says. Let the meat stand at room temperature about 30 min utes before broiling so it won't be thoroughly chilled. Brush any meat except pork with melted fat. It's best to preheat the broiling unit five to 10 minutes, but do not preheat the pan. Set the tempera ture control at the position for . broil fag. And place the rack where meat WÜ1 broil best—usually where meat will be three inches from the source «f heat. The meat should be turned only once, Miss Cook points out. Broil it half the required time on one side, half on the other.

The French government, as a mili tary measure, offered a prize of 12,000 francs to anyone who could find a satisfactory method of pre senting food. A man by the name of Nicholas Appert was among those who set out to win the prize. After 15 years, in 1810, he an nounced that he could preserve food by first heating it and then sealing it in air-tight containers. This was the beginning of the art of canning. Appert was given the prize and is called the "father of the canning industry." Rembrandt, Biblical Student An "inner urge" drove Rem brandt, the great Dutch painter of the 17th century, to produce hun dreds of Biblical pictures—despite the fact that there was little de mand for religious art in Calvinist Holland. This is the conclusion of Professor Jacob Rosenberg, cura- j tor of prints at the Fogg art mu- Î seum of Harvard university, after j a long study of Rembrandt's life and ivork. In a two-volume study of "Rembrandt," Professor Rosen berg reports that the great Dutch artist gave the world 850 representa tions of Biblical scenes during the course of his lifetime. These in cluded paintings, drawings and etchings. Most 'Shot At' Island Kahoolawe is an island in the Hawaiian chain that holds the dis tinction of being the most "shot at" spot on the face of the globe. The 45-square-mile patch of lava rock and sand west of Maui island is target area for the U. S. marine corps and air force. So many unexploded shells and bombs infest the little spot that even mili tary men hesitate to land. Inspec tions when necessary are made from the air. The navy warmed up its guns on Kahoolawe before nearly every major Pacific battle. Mili tary experts say they expect to use Kahoolawe for a target range in definitely. a navy« Covered Bridges Not Obsolete Covered bridges, familiar land marks of serene country roads, are still an important factor in our country's transportation system. A recent study reveals that those fa vorite spooning sites for grandma and grandpa have more than proved their worth, both economically and through records of service. The first covered bridge in this country was built in Pennsylvania about 1771. Although many of these highway veterans were not built according to modem engineering plans, they remain as testimony to the integ rity and ingenuity of our country's first bridge builders. f i iv p I V fig v C \ D PROTECT YOURSELF NOTIFY POLICE IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACCIDENT THEN SUBMIT WRITTEN REPORT Libby News , " r ' t and H M rS ' W dM anl H°c lh H an ner? r Mrs e William Brad and Buz, and Max Olson at Thanksgiving dinner last Thursday. .
