SHELFIGHTS I'll Take A Soup on Rye By Doris Lee If you want to write a book and are casting around for subject matter that will really sell, try a cookbook. Cookbooks are listed among the best selling of all books, including the Bible, The American College Dictionary and Menmu's Swahili-Eskimo Dictionary, a landslide seller among African and Alaskan tourists. Cookbooks sell so well for many reasons. Brides are always burning potatoes, housewives are always looking for new ways to disappoint the family, gourmets are always seeking new taste thrills for their jaded tastebuds and fat people never give up hoping they'll find calorie-laden dishes that won't make them fatter. I've been thinking of putting together a book on snacks — little tidbits that people invent to irritate their ulcers and help pass the time between cigarettes. The idea came to me at a production staff meeting of our little theater group. The hostess, who is also stage manager, brought out a tray of the weirdest-looking alleged edibles I've ever seen. COLOR BLEND "What's this green and tan glob in the middle?" I asked, pointing to "You don't happen to have a peanutbutter and pickle sandwich, do you?" asked the set designer, eying the plate dubiously. "No, I don't," said the hostess. "Just I can fix you some wilted lettuce and bacon fat." "Wilted lettuce and bacon fat?" I asked, extricating a kernel from my teeth. "How do you make that?" GREEN HANKY "Well," she said. "you dip the lettuce in boiling water until it has the texture or a wet hanky. Then you dry it and pour bacon fat over it." "How is it eaten?" asked the set designer. "With fried bananas, which are fried in the same fat." "Oh, I've had fried bananas," I cried. "Delicious!" She looked at me. "Red bananas? With ketchup on them?" "Well, no," I said. "I invented avocetti," offered the set builder brightly. "What's that?" asked the hostess, turning to him. "It's a dip made from avocados, cheese and onions." Where do you get the name? BROOKHURST SHOPPING Center will embark this week, on a year-long promotion to increase traffic at the Brookhurst Ave. — Ball Rd. area. In addition to a bi-weekly shopping guide, starting in this week's Gazette, Don Charles, public relations representative for the merchants, said special features, such as the four-tank fishing exhibition presently planned, will be used. Youngsters will have an opportunity to fish in the tanks and a champion fly casting champion will be on hand to demonstrate how to cast. "Our idea is to present these special promotions so as to get as many to participate as possible," Charles said. ANNOUNCEMENT HAS been made that the first locally-owned department store to begin operation in Orange County within the last 20 years will soon be opened at the Ball-Magnolia Shopping Center, corner of Ball Rd. and Magnolia, south east Anaheim. The store will be called La Fond's and will include 18,000 sq. ft. of selling and storage area. ANAHEIM'S newest restaurant and cocktail lounge, the Cascades, 2125 So. Harbor Blvd. (just south of Disneyland), holds its grand opening today, tomorrow and Saturday. Janet Henderson, well-known keyboard artist, will star.

The idea came to me at a production staff meeting of our little theater group. The hostess, who is also stage manager, brought out a tray of the weirdest-looking all-grown edibles I've ever seen. COLOR BLEND "What's this green and tan glob in the middle?" I asked, pointing to a small dish of a putty-like substance studded with little green balls. "That's a dip," she said. "Peanut butter and peas. Try it; it's delicious." I dipped a cracker into it. It wasn't bad. "Have a sandwich," she said, handing me another plate. "What kind?" I asked. "Apple, popcorn and creamed corn," she said, and added, "Not together, of course. That would be gilly. Whoever heard of apple and popcorn together." I chose a popcorn sandwich. I wasn't curious so much about the taste as I was about the feel. It handled fairly neatly. The popcorn was glued on the bread with butter. "I usually eat chocolate bars with popcorn," I said. She gave me a curious stare and passed the plate around to the others. The prop girl took a creamed corn sandwich. It began to grip and the hostess handed her a spoon. Orange Spotlight ...

The radio wasn't on five minutes before I began wondering why someone hadn't told me about FM before this. With a minimum of commercials and a wealth of the kind of music I like to hear, I no longer have trouble keeping my mind on what I am reading or thoroughly enjoying what I hear when I want to just sit back and relax. To make matters even better, several children's shows, including a Young People's Concert, 10 a.m., Saturday; opera, about a dozen regularly scheduled programs and several scattered intermittently throughout the week; musical comedies, including some of the best Broadway runs; stereo shows, including "multiplex"; enough jazz to satisfy even Louie Armstrong; folk music, including a wonderful Israeli Folk Music show at 10 p.m. Thursday, and Folk Music of the World, 7 p.m., on Wednesday. The non-musical menu includes, in addition to some fine wines and storage area. ANAHEIM'S newest restaurant and cocktail lounge, the Cascades, 2125 Se Harbor Blvd. (just south of Disneyland), holds its grand opening today, tomorrow and Saturday. Janet Henderson, well-known keyboard artist, will star. Dividend payments to Glendale Federal Savings and Loan Association's savings customers reached an all-time high at the end of this year's first quarter, it was announced today by GFS president J. E. Hoeft. More than $3,925,000 was earned by Glendale Federal savers during the first three months of this year, 25 percent ahead of dividends paid at the end of 1961's first quarter, Hoeft said. Security First National Bank's earnings for the first three months of 1962 were 12 per cent below those of the same period a year ago. Lloyd L. Austin, chairman of the board, reported today. This decline in earnings was expected due to the increased expense of higher savings interest rates which became effective Jan. 1. The bank's earnings were 84 cents a share for the first quarter of 1962 compared with 96 cents a share for the first three months of 1961." Austin said. Total resources of United California Bank have increased by nearly 20 percent during the last year, according to Frank L. King, chairman of the board. On March 31 total resources were $3,338,153,413 compared with $1,953,940,616 on the same date last year. Deposits rose from $1,-738,288,367 to $2,-104,011,094, an increase of 21.2 per cent. Loans moved upward from $1,063,009,068 to $1,270,905,122, an increase of 19.5 per cent. Increasing participation of Union Bank in Orange County business led to doubling of the bank's tomorrow; Ralph Sutton playing the music of Fats Waller on the 22nd; Percy Faith and his orchestra playing their new album from the Broadway hit play, "Subways are For Sleeping" on the 28th; Don Weage and the musical world of Cole Porter, and the unforgettable music of the The radio wasn't on five minutes before I began wondering why someone hadn't told me about FM before this. With a minimum of commercials and a wealth of the kind of music I like to hear, I no longer have trouble keeping my mind on what I am reading or thoroughly enjoying what I hear when I want to just sit back and relax. To make matters even better, there is an FM guide out for the Southern Cal area, called "FM & fine arts Guide". It's a lot like the TV guides they put out and it lists all the programs stations in the area carry, including KGGK, Garden Grove, and KWIZ-FM, Santa Ann. In all, there are approximately 40 FM stations within hearing range and after I put up an aerial stop the house I have no trouble getting 90 per cent of them when they are on the air. There are even several that stay on for 24 hours. There's a little of something for every taste.
