Those meals can’t be quite simple as they might be in the midst of a hot summer, however — when a crisp salad, a few sandwiches and a cool drink often will be more than satisfactory. But a number of substitutions may be made in the family menu to lighten it even this ea.rly in the season. One of the most effectiv ’ ways in which to accomplish thi end is to plan a simpler dessert. Custards, for instance, are both easy to make and easy to digest What's more, they are likely to be| increasingly economical — because of lower egg prices which general: come in the spring.

WEATHER SYNOPSIS Low barometric pressure continued this morning from the southern Bering Sea southeastward to Vancouver Island, the lowest reported pressure being 29.40 inches, about 500 miles west of Ketchikan. High barometric pressure prevailed from Nome and Barrow southeastward to the Rocky Mountain Stales, the crest being 30.34 inches at Fort Smith, while high pressure also prevailed over the Pacific Ocean from California westward to the Hawaiian and Midway Islands. This gen- eral pressure distribution has been attended by precipitation from the Prince William Sound region southward to Oregon and over the south- ern Bering Sea and by fair weather over the remainder of the field of onservation. It was warmer last night over the Tanana and upper Yukon Val- leys and colder over the coastal regions from Bethel northward to Barrow. 4 pm. yest'y 4 am. today 2 noon today Station Atka Anchorage Barrow Nome Bethel Fairbanks Dawson St. Paul Dutch Harbor Kodiak Cordova Juneau Sitka Ketchikan Prince Rupert Edmonton Seattle Portland .
