Gene Winters Entertain
Visiting Turks at Luncheon
By MARION ABRAMS
Mrs. Gone Winters, wife of the
Morrow county extension agent,
handled a problem in Internat
ional relations last Saturday and
reports that it proved to be a
pleasant and gratifying exper
ience tor those who participated.
In order to provide a restful
and hospitable stop for the fast
tourinc croup of Turkish agri
culturists in Morrow county last
week, the Winters decided to en
tertain them for luncheon at
their own home, and Lee. who
Is an experienced home econom
ies teacher, planned a largely
do-ahead" menu to ensure
prompt and easv sen-ice.
On advice from Dr. Norman
Goetze. OSU farm crops special
ist, who was guide for the tour,
the menu was planned to In
clude cottage cheese, a favorite
food of the Turks, and to ex
clude pork which is not eaten
bv Moslems.
Sliced cold turkey, stuffed
cabbage rolls (a dish often eat
en in Turkey), assorted fruit
with the cottage cheese, rolls,
butter and jam. and a dessert
of cantaloupe with ice cream
and raspberries completed the
menu. The 23 guests, plus Win
ters and Bob Jepsen, Oregon
Wheat Growers League presi
dent, were served from a buffet
table and ate at tables set on
the patio of the Winters' home.
Mrs. Robert Jones, Mrs. Robert
Jepsen and Mrs. Roice Fulleton
assisted with last minute prep
arations and with the service of
the luncheon. Mrs. Doug Drake
contributed fresh raspberries
from the Drake garden.
Verv noticeable to Americans
Is trie Turkish fondness for
quantities of bread with meals.
Turks consume considerably
more wheat products per person
than Americans and Mrs. Win
ters was happy to have had a
generous supply of rolls.
For half the guests, conversa
tion with the hosts was limited
to speaking through their inter
preter, but all expressed grati
tude and pleasure and repeat
edly stated that they had found
Americans everywhere much
more friendly and helpful than
they had expected. Because the
Turks did not realize that they
were to be entertained in a pri
vate home in Heppner they had
not brought a gift and were
greatly embarrassed at not
being able to do so. It is their
custom to always present a gift
of some sort when accepting
hospitality.
After their restful luncheon
the visitors proceeded in a char
tered bus to Gilliam county.
County Agent Winters, who ac
companied them on the bus,
was highly entertained by the
good spirits and enthusiastic
singing with which the group
speeded traveling time. He and
Mrs. Winters, who drove to Con
don, had further opportunity to
get acquainted with the Turkish
men at dinner that evening.
According to Mrs. Winters the
men were mostly family men
pl.-iil to show nietures
(of and talk about their families
at home. erv few wives worn
i TNirWuv nlth.Mi.'h in fitlfrrtl
thev wear slacks, bikinis and1
other Western clothes; women j
spend a great deal ot lime pre
paring meals with care and do
not as vet have time-saving in
stant foods. These upper-class
and progressive men did not re
act favorably when someone
suggested that their wives might
gradually become working wom
en using time-saving methods of
housekee ping as American
wives do now.
Following the dinner at Con
don the Turkish men performed
some Turkish dances for their
American friends. The dances
are very" high-spirited and ath
letic a most memorable spec
tacle. '

What's so different about the tomato?
It's just about the only thing in the
kitchen garden that still needs to be
canned with the old-fashioned hot pack,
cold pack drudgery. Most other fruits
and vegetables can be put up by easy
pack simply washed and frozen. An elec
tric freezer will keep summer freshness
and flavor on your table the year 'round.
An electric freezer means economy (stock
up when things are in season) . . . con
venience (less trips to the store) . . . variety
(ice cream and other treats can be served
anytime).
Seeyour appliance dealer
soon. Put up the modern,
electric freezer way.
