Feeds 'Starving Girl Campers By RUTH FOSTER Speaking conservatively, Mrs. Ralph Arnold, Rte. 1, Milton Junction, prepared 7,650 meals in a single month this summer. The bunch she served didn't have small appetites, either. Mrs.

Arnold has been cook for the girls' four-week session at Camp Rotamer for 11 years and the camp is attended by 85 to 90 girls who arrive at the table "starving" three times a day. Theu" cook loves her job and the girls dote on her Cinnamon Rolls, Raised Doughnuts, and anything else she prepares. "They're hungry all the time," says Mrs. Arnold who enjoys cooking for good eaters. The young campers show their appreciation for her efforts by tripping to the kitchen to tell her how they like their meals and by the little gifts many present to her on the last day they are In camp, usually handicraft items they have made while at camp and which Mrs.

Arnold cherishes. Two high school girls assist Mrs. Arnold in the kitchen each summer and the campers themselves do the dishes. Camp Rotamer's roster of girl campers has increased vastly since the days in 1956 when Mrs. Arnold started cooking there.

At that time there were atjNOUt 37 enrolled each week for two weeks. Mrs. Arnold started her big quantity cooking at Milton Union High School but has now given up that job. The Arnolds operate a farm Of about 200 acres. Mr.

Arnold raises pigs and milks cows, the Chickens are Mrs. Arnold's department. She raises about 400 a year, 200 layers and 200 to be dressed out and sold to her private customers. "They go like hot cakes," she says. Mrs.

Arnold, the former Evelyn Tyler, and her husband, are both natives of the Milton Junction area. They have four children, Wayland, who is employed with the Milton Junction Telephone and has four children; Mrs. Robert Heilman, 855 Blaine Sally, a freshman at Whitewater State University this year; and Douglas, a junior at Milton Union High. The family belongs to Milton Junction Methodist Church. Mrs.

Arnold's hobby is rug- braiding and she makes the rugs entirely of wool. A 9 10 rug takes her spare time for about a year. One she has in progress is made of coat material and the hit-miss patterned rug is "like lead" it's so heavy. An interest she has acquired more recently is collecting cups and saucers. Our cook uses the same recipe for her Cinnamon Rolls and Raised Doughnuts but the rolls, of course, are baked and the doughnuts are fried.

Mrs. Arnold's Raised Doughnuts and Cinnamon Rolls are "the greatest," campers and the camp staff are convinced. (Gazette Photo) FrencK Bread Rises By CECILY BROWNSTONE DEAR CECILY: I read with interest your recipe for refrigerator-rising bread. Now I wonder whether you have a recipe for French bread that can rise in the refrigerator. I often bake French bread the usual way for company suppers and always have a problem in timing so that it will be crisp and hot from the oven when I'm ready to serve.

It seems to me thai of all homemade yeast breads, French bread is the one for which it would be most helpful to have a recipe using the refrigerator method. L.R. DEAR MRS. L.R.: You asked for a recipe I wanted myself, and one which I believe is bound to interest many other cooks. So as soon as I ferreted out the following rule for Refrigerator- rising French Bread, we tried it in my test kitchen, and I'm delighted to pass it along.

This recipe makes two excellent loaves their interior is more compact than regular French bread, but their crust is crisp. The baking may be timed so the bread will be ready and hot at the moment you want to offer it. REFRIGERATOR-RISING FRENCH BREAD 2V4 cups warm water 2 pkgs. active dry yeast 2 T. sugar 1 T.

'Mamas and Papas' Stay- Happy Even With Money By BOB THOMAS AP Movie-Television Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) A year ago they were penniless and happy on the beach in the Virgin Islands. This year they are apt to earn a million doUars, yet they manage to remain happy. They call themselves the Mama's and the Papa's, though none of them is.

They look odd, but they sound good, as demonstrated by their biggest hit record, "Monday, Monday." Their melodious, her- monic quality is like a breath of That One Warm Dish Hot Chicken Salad could be just the ticket for your next luncheon.

South Seas iresner in a Refrigerator Are you the hostess for the next bridge club luncheon? Are you planning a bridal or baby shower or just having a few friends over for lunch? Whatever your reason for entertaining, you'll want a menu that's easy to serve and good to eat. A molded salad fits both requirements and so we suggest this recipe for South Seas Salad Ring.

Pineapple tidbits and chopped chutney molded in sparkling lemon gelatin form a delectable ring around a creamy mound of cottage cheese.

A BARBECUED MEAL IN ground beef and vegetables pepped up with onion gravy mix right from the package, the modern cook can take life easy.

And there are no dishes to do! smogless air amid today's cacophony. I finally caught up with the Mama's and the Papa's at NBC Studios where they were taking part in a Rodgers and Hart special for ABC, which rents the opposing network's color facilities. Since I am no good at four-way interviews, I chose John Phillips, the apparent of the M's and the P's. "Last year I was in the music business in New York singing with a folk group," he said. "I got fed up with the commercial grind and quit.

With 10 friends I went to the Virgin Islands, where we lived a communal life in a public park on the beach. Their idyllic existence came to an end as their money ran out, and they came to Hollywood to produce some records. The fh-st one, "California Dreamin'," was released Dec. 21 and was an immediate hit. Such are the logistics of the music world that they found themselves earning more money in one night than any of them had seen in their young lifetimes their usual fee is $10,000 per performance.

"We just got our first record royalty check today," Phillips said, "This was just for records sales from December to May and doesn't include money from performances or sheet music (he writes many of the songs). It came to over $200,000." Who are the Mama's and the Papa's? "There is Papa John, 25, born at Parris Island, S.C.; he attended two years of Annapolis before cutting out for the music world, Cass Elliott, 22, from Baltimore, a girl of Kate Smithian proportions, Dennis Doherty, 24, Halifax, N.S., a motorcyclist with Prince Valiant hau-, Michelle Gilliam, 22, Long Beach, petite and lovely; she recently returned to the group after reconciling with John, her sometime husband. With an envelope of gravy mix and foil to help, you can be the "fastest chef in the Middle West." Besides being quick and easy, there's an extra bonus: to a foil dinner no plates, pots or pans to wash afterwards. A barbecued meal in foil is a neat package of food to serve mdoors or out. The juices from the meat and vegetables combine with gravy mix to make a delicious sauce.

The contents can be wrapped ahead and refrigerated tmtil cook-out time. Ground beef and vegetables with onion gravy sauce are suggested for the "nonwork" barbecue. For the more ambitious backyard chef there are "Peppy Barbecue Chicken" and "Sunset Beef Kabobs," both of which are cooked directly over charcoal embers.
