COOKING CORNER
Shrimp boats reap
rich sea hcirvest
By SUSAN DELIGHT
Along the picturesque bays
on' the west coast of a Mexico,
shrimp boats are reaping a
bountiful harvest of •'shrimp,
adding to this nation's present
abundant supplies.
This is the peak season for
harvesting the Mexican
shrimp. The season which
started in September, will
continue through January,
possibly into February. Much
of these shrimp supplies will
make their way into this coun-
try in frozen or canned form.
According to Henry R.
Branstetter, president of
Ocean Garden Products, one
of the principal exporters of
Mexican shrimp, the Mexican
shrimp are abundant and
large this year.
"Last year the shrimp were
scarce and very small and we
don't know how to account for
this," Branstetter said.
The Mexican shrimp fleets
range from tiny boats- of the
"mosquito" fleet manned by
fishermen who cast their
atarayas (casting nets) into
the shallow waters of the
bays, to sleek new vessels
built and equipped with the
latest mechanical and elec-
tronic gear which range into
the "outside waters."
After the shrimp, are
caught, they are taken to
modern, sanitary factories for
processing. These factories,
according to Branstetter,
-maintain the highest stand-
ards through quality control
laboratories.
Following processing, the
shrimp destined for this coun-
try are loaded in refrigerated
trucks for transportation
across the border.
Let the recipes which follow
bring in your shrimp boat
with a gustatory flair.

QUESTIONS WOMEN ASK
Can babies start
outside womb?
By ELEANOR B.
RODGERSON, M.D.
Q. Is it true that babies can
start growing" outside the
womb and then be put inside
until they are ready to be
born? -
A. There is a lot of contro-
versy on this subject in the
newspapers and in the medi-
cal literature. Theoretically,
it should be possible. We hear
that a recognized specialist in
England announced he had
three successes out of hun-
dreds of attempts and the
babies seemed normal. .
Blockage of the Fallopian
tubes is the cause of many
cases of sterility. Either the
sperm cells can't get to the
egg, or the egg can't get down
the tube. If the sperm cells
and the egg could be intro-
duced to the uterus at the
right time, a baby could grow
there as it would normally.
It is supposed that, in the fu-
. tura, there will be many more
cases of blockage of the tubes
because of the epidemic of
gonorrhea which produces
this picture. Success in get-
ting the embryo to start out-
side the body would certainly
be an answer to such a com-
plication, but there are many
disturbing points about it and
attempts to open the tubes
probably have a better chance
of success so far.
A further point to consider
is whether or not there will be
much of a (lerrfand for such a
procedure in the face of the
problem of world overpopula-
tion and the specter of starva-
tion.

Q. Is it true that deep sea
diving affects sperm cells?
A. I don't know that there
have been any scientific
studies on the effect of deep
sea diving on sperm cells.
There would be a lot of factors
to think about. For examples:
how `deep are the dives, how
often, how long, are they -sat-
urated"? One report says that
active divers produce girls,
rather than boys, but there
seems to be some difference
of opinion among the divers.
Q. Is it true that oral contra-
ceptives increase mucus dis-
charge? I have had an exces-
sive amount since I started
taking them and wonder if
this is normal.
A. Some women on oral con-
traceptives do complain of ex-
cessive discharge. These are
comparatively few in num-
ber, but the discharge can be
distressing especially if there
is a yeast infection involved.
Estrogens may increase the
cervical mucus secretions.
Tell your doctor and, perhaps,
you can be helped with a
lower estrogen pill. Some
women normally have exces-
sive mucus discharges. These
can be cut down by cauteriz-
ing the cervix and destroying
some of the glands. If, though,
the discharge has.ran outside
cause — such as certain oral
contraceptives — it is better
to discontinue, or change, the
outside cause.
Sexual excitement will in-
crease mucus discharges, but
this should be temporary.

Advice
on kitchen
• colors
By BARBARA HARTUNG
Q. We have just recently
completed remodeling our
kitchen and built on a break-,
fast room where we once had
a small patio off the kitchen. 1
love the enlarged eating area.
In the kitchen I am installing
new stainless appliances and
have chosen white plastic
laminate for the counter tops.
We ran into higher costs than
anticipated and so I am hav-
ing to keep my old wood cabi-
nets. We added new ones in
the same, style as the old ones.
Now I want to paint them all
the same. I have toyed with
the idea of red and white and
stainless but I am rather
afraid to go ahead because
red is such a very str'bng col-
or. I would like the breakfast
room to be as light and airy as
possible. Please advise me
about a color scheme. Maybe
I could use some red and
something else. — T.W.P.
A. I just recently saw a
most beautiful kitchen and
dining room designed with red
and white that might give you
some ideas and confidence in
going ahead with red if that's
your favorite. The designer
had used a vinyl sheet floor
covering of red with white
grouting in a Spanish -inspired
design. Walls had a chair rail
that was painted solid red.
The upper ,parts of the walls
were done in a `red on white
background wallpaper, pri-
marily white to give the light
and airy feeling. The kitchen
cabinets were painted red and
the same floor covering seas
carried on through. White
knobs on cabinets and draw-
ers and the white countertops
gave a good contrast. Window
frames were painted red and
chalky white starched cur-
tains were repeated in kitchen
and dining room.
The dining furniture, inci-
dentally, included an old
round oak table in a natural
warm brown finish and four
white Mexican -inspired
chairs with rush seats and
backs and redcushions. A red
tole chandelier with sirhu-
lated candles hung over the
table. Accessories in the
kitchen included black
wrought iron and copper as.
well as functional stainless
pieces. It -was a most attrac-
tive area to work and dine in.

Rubber glove
puts on a show
By BURMA &
HUNTSINGER
The foundation for this proj-
ect comes from a far from
glamorous object. But the
material of which it is made is
the foundation of many other
objects. It is a product that is
most essential in our modern
way of fife.
What do these things have
in common?' A diving suit, a
tennis ball, a hot water bottle,
a garden hose, the tip of a
school pencil, and .the tread of
a Caterpillar tractor? The an-
swer, of course, is they are all
made of rubber, either the
natural kind that comes from
the juice of a tree or synthetic
rubber made In modern
chemistry labs.
Whether hard or soft, rub-
ber keeps out moisture, holds
out air, does not conduct elec-
tricity,
lecttricity, and above all, is so
ela0tic it can stretch to more
than nine times its normal
length if need 'be. Approxi-
mately 50,000 products are
made from rubber and a typi-
cal American car contains
over 550 rubber parts. .
Check around the house to
see just how many rubber ob-
jects you can find. Most like-
ly„such a search can include a
pair of ordinary kitchen
gloves.
If you find such an ungla-
morous household object, use
it to create a fun project
which can either be a gift or
provide some home entertain-
ment to your friends or fam-
ily.
heave the glove plain or
decorate it with spray paint
and sequins if .you wish. The
most important step is to
paint faces on each finger.
Then add eyes and a mouth
such as characterize the pop-
ular "happy faces” which are
made with such a few strokes
of a felt pen.
Find scraps of felt, cotton
fabric or velvet to make cos-
tumes. Remember the thumb
is the biggest "character"
you will create soy requires
about a two-inch square of
material. _
Fold these bits into a trian-
gle shape and glue them in the
back so they will suggest
skirts, shirts or jackets.
Fringe the edges, scallop
them, or use pinking shears to
create various costume ef-
fects. Use contrasting dabs
for decorations such as col-
lars, ties, ribbons, pockets or
buttons. All can be attached
with white glue.
Next, create hair by using
contrasting colors of knitting
;yarn scraps. Either make
braids or bows or coif the fin-
gers with long or short
"hair."
Now all that is left to do is to
slip the glove onto your hand
and imagine names and situa-
tions for these various little
people you created. Perhaps
you can arrange with friends
toprovide voices while hidden
out of sight as you narrate a
plot. With a bit of practice you
can provide lots of pleasure
for 'almost any audience.
TFIEATRE OF THE HAND— Provide a puppet show which
assures lots of entertainment and little sleight of hand. A
rubber glove plus ingenuity are all you need.
Children of parents who are
both carriers have a one in
four chance of having side
