Rock lobster divan is an economical, simple-to-prcpare, meal-in-a-dish. It’s new, different,
and delicious; a real taste-tempter for summer-fatigued palates. Try it, soon.
BY DOROTHY MADDOX
You can have an unusually
attractive meal-in-a dish with
little work and little expense.
The South African rock lobster
tails are waiting tor you in your
grocer’s freezer right now.
Rock Lobster Divan
(Serves 4)
Four-to 6-ounce South African
rock lobster tails, 2 packages
frozen broccoli, 1 cup grated
American or Parmesan cheese,
lemon slices, salt.
Drop frozen tails into boiling
salted water. When water reboils,
begin counting time. Cook three
minutes more than the individ-
ual weight in ounces of the tails.
For example: boil 4-ounce tails
seven minutes.
If tails are already thawed,
boil only one minute more than
| individual weight. To remove
I meat from shell, drench with
cold water, cut off membrane
with kitchen scissors and pull
meal out in one piece.
Boil broccoli according to di-
1 redions on package; drain.
Line four shirring pans or
small ramekins with broccoli,
place one boiled South African
i rock lobster in each pan.
Melt cheese in double boiler,
pour over lobster. Reheat in oven
until ready to serve. Garnish
with slices of lemon. Salt to taste.

This custard pie recipe from
Virginia is unusually good;
Coconut Custard I’ie
(Makes one 9-inch,
generously thick pie)
Nine-inch unbaked pastry-
lined pan with high, fluted edge;
•i eggs, 2a cup sugar, teaspoon
nutmeg, la teaspoon salt, 2J,a
cups scalding hot milk, Va to
cup moist, shredded coconut; 1
teaspoon vanilla.
Beat eggs slightly with rotary
beater. Then beat in remaining
I ingredients, adding hot rnllk
gradually. Pour Into pastry-lined
I pan.
Bake in very hot oven, 450
degrees Fahrenheit, 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees Fahr-
enheit and bake 10 to 15 minutes,
just until a silver knife inserted
into side of filling comes out
clean.
Center may still look a bit
soft, but will set later. Over-
baking makes custard “watery.’’
Serve slightly warm, or cold.
Custard pie, well made, is a taste-
treat that family and friends will
call for, often.

Let’s say your name is John
Smith.
Some people call you John, and
some call you Smith, and some
call you by your various nick-
names, such as Red, or Butch,
or Mud-Face.
The same is true of fish—only
more so.
Take a yellow cat. Sometimes
he is known as an Opelousas, a
flathead, a mud-cat, or a Goujon.
Actually, he is not a yellow cat
by scientific classification He is a
Philodictis Oliaris.
This thing about names gets
crazier all along. For example,
the bass.
The largomouth, or black bass,
is our favorite fish in Texas. But
he’s not really a bass. He’s a
member of the sunfish family. So
are the biuegill (bream), rock
I bass, and crappie.
The white bass is a true bass,
j and the only one we have in Tex-
| as’ fresh water.
When I was a boy, we went
! fishing for perch. But we never
I caught perch. We caught a lot of
bream (bluegills), and we called
| them perch. They have many,
I many other popular names.
When a fellow tells me that j
he caught some white perch, I
really don’t know whether he
I means crappie or white bass. But
| in either event, I know he is em-
j ploying a misnomer. Actually, the
white perch is a sea bass found
along the Atlantic const.
Technically, there is no such
j thing a.-, a perch in Texas.
... white or any color.
Okay, so a friend of mine goes
fishing. Imagine a conversation
between him and me when I see
him next.
“Hello, Joe, how’s fishing?"
Pretty good, I guess. Caught
three micropterous salmoides, half
a dozen marone (or roceus) ehry-
iops, and a six-pound ictalarus
lacustris punctatus."
Well, that’s really great. Now
all I have to do is look all this
stuff up somewhere and find out
that he captured three black bass
(largemouth), six white bass
(sand bass, candies, bar-fish,
striped bass), and a channel cat,
I spotted cat, blue channel, wil-
low cat, fiddler cat).
Let’s say the poor guy caught
some crappie. In that case, being
technical, he’d call the white crap-
pie a promoxis annularis (White
perch, speckled perch), and the
black crappie a pomoxis nigroma-
•ulatus (white perch, calico bass,
stiawberry bass).
Suppose he had latched onto a
graspergou. Well—the gaspergou
is not really a gaspergou at all.
He is a fresh water drum, some-
times call a rockfish or river
perch (aplodinatus grunniens), a

John T. Smither
Smither sees
great things
tor TRA move
When John T. Smither, promi-
nent Huntsville businessman and
Trinity River Authority director
lor Walker County, talks about
the needs of the people who live
in the vast area drained by the
Trinity he is talking not only from
a lifetime of experience but from
a background tliat goes back to
pioneer days.
His father, W. L. Smither, was a
pioneer of the Huntsville area and
acquired his first Trinity River
bottomland about 1880. Since
that time the Smither family has
been raising cattle, cotton and
feed on the banks of this contro-
versial river.
Mr. Smither envisions the Trin-
ity as the tool which can keep the
living standards of the peepie who
live in the Trinity watershed on
a par with the rest of the nation.
The Walker County wholesale
groceryman and rancher sees the
Trinity programs as a three fold
proposition.
"1 think flood control is most
important," he says, “because all
my life, and particularly during
the past 34 years, I have observ-
ed at first hand the havoc wrought
by floods. Then comes soil con-
servation because our soil is our
greatest asset. Water conserva-
tion is a close third because we
must have water in order to build
a balanced economy.”
The Huntsville businessman
kinsman of the salt-water drum.
Speaking of salt water — the
flounder, captured along the Gulf
coast, also is called a sole, a sum-
mer flounder and a flatfish. No
use to go into all those Latin
names.
The speckled trout is properly a
spotted weakfish, also known as
trout, yellowmouth, sow trout and
speck.
The red fish, properly the chan-
nel bass, is a red drum, a rat red,
or a bull red. The black drum is
a drummer, butterfly drum, or
tiog fish. The pike, properly roba-
lo, a snook or striped trout.
You probably have heard many
ol these fish by other names, in
addition to those I have mention-
ed. The crappie alone has about
60 different appelations over the
country, and some of the names
for crappie, erroneously, are the
right names for other fish. So it’s
a wonder any angler ever knows
what another angler is talking
about.
There’s Latin, as well as Eng-
lish confusion, too. As indicated
above, the white bass is some-
times the rocco chrysops and
sometimes the marone chrysops.
Possibly we can take heart in the
fact that the Romans agreed on
his last name.
A largemouth bass is a large-
mouth bass. If you call one a
bronzeback, you are using one of
his nicknames. The small mouth
bass is something else. So is the
spotted, and so is the white bass.
But those are the accepted names.
A carp is a carp. He’s not a
bugle-mouth bass.
Fresh water catfish are blue cat-
fish, channel catfish, and flat-
head catfish, the latter being what
you have been calling a yellow
catfish.
Crappies are rightly two and* 1
two only—black and white. By
any other name, they fry delect-
ably, too. But we are trying to
get their names straight.
In the bream category there are
biuegill sunfish, green sunfish,
longear sunfish, pumpkin - seed
sunfish, redbreast sunfish, redear
sunfish and spotted sunfish.
If you know them ail apart, you
are an aquatic biologist.
TWO-COLOR REEL — Appli-
cation of the Star-Drag principle
of line tension, in Gulf fishing,
is gradually being applied to
reels used for inland water fish-
ing.
Garcia has combined the Star-
Drag principle with the popular
closed-faced reel in its Abumatic
60.
They have gone a step farther
by adding color to the cap of the
reel. This makes it a very at-
tractive red and black combina-
tion.
Electronic brains
at PAFB form big
study for classes
PERRIN AIR FORCE BASE,
Texas—Since early this year an
intricate job of recalculating the
electronic brains of F-86 flight
simulators at Perrin has been un
derway in the 3554th Armament
and Electronics Squadron.
The seven flightronics (trade
name) were formerly duplicates
in the cockpits and actions of the
F-86D aircraft. All “D” type air-
craft on the base were changed
to F-86-L with resulting differ-
ences in instrumentation and per-
formance. it became necessary
to make the simulators like the
“I«s’’ in order to properly train
Pilots who would be tuking the
aircraft up alone on their first
flight.
The change-over project began
last February when a crew of
eight men came down from the
factory to do the initial mechani-
cal work. Supervising this phase
of the job was Joe West of the
ERGO Company’s Riverdale, Md.
plant.
Fallowing closely behind were
the wiring specialists—six wom-
en, also FiRCO employees—who
rerouted circuits for installation
of relocated instruments.
After the mechanical work was
finished on the first trainer, test
engineers from the factory arriv-
ed to make the simulators "fiy-
i.ble’’ once again Supervisor of
the six men is Fred Narmon,
Because each s mulator is in
reality a giant computer every
system and instrument has to be
checked from start to finish. As
troubles arc found they are cor-
rected. The complete testing of
each simulator takes from three
to four weeks.
These flightronics play an im-
portant part in the training of
student pilots who are going
through the interceptor course at
Perrin. Each pilot must receive
not less than seven hours of sim-
ulated flying before he takes the
F-86 off the ground.
By becoming familiar with all
types of failures that may be en-
countered it becomes second na-

ture for the pilot to follow the
correct emergency procedures if
the problem should arise while
he is flying.
An instructor normally has two
students for a three-hour period.
While one is flying, the other stu-
dent is in the console of the sim-
ulator with the instructor. This
console has a duplicate instrument
panel to enable the instructor to
observe where the student may
be making an error.
The modification cost of approx-
imately $20,000 per imulator is
considered negligible when com-
pared with the number of pilots
that will be in the proper proce-
dures for flying the manned weap-
on—the F-86L.
