When serving sauce with fish, take a bit of time preparing at tractive lemon cups for serving the sauce accompaniment. Halves of lemon, scooped out and scal loped at edges are lovely. Frankfurter scallop is easily made with sliced frankfurters and scalloped potatoes. A d d j about one tablespoon of prepared, mustard to each cup of white j sauce used. • New York State scored its low est, motor vehicle mileage death rate on record in 1950, despite an increase of 49 in the number of traffic deaths, according to Motor Vehicle Commissioner Clifford J.
