Mir I. itsi MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE HIRE A Nichols' Worth of- Comment On This and That BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Pu Feature Writar Washington (U.R) Let's face it, men. Most of us don't know how tn Mit a collar of suds on a glass of beer. Some brew- masters have given me the answer. Say you get a few cans or bottles from the gro cer. Don't put them in the window sill or next to the Harmon Nichols stove. Beer wnicn is not in the refrigerator should be kept where it is cool and dark. Light and warmth do not make a can or bottle of beer taste any better. The brewers tell me, and the bartenders may dispute this, the best temperature to serve beer is between 40 and 50 degrees. At that temperature, says the Brewers, it retains its "sparkle, flavor and collar." Warm Beer Better One brewmaster told me: "Beer that is too cold be comes flat and cloudy. In Canada and Britain and Germany you see guys sitting around staring for a half an hour at a couple of schooners. They are waiting for 'em to warm up." If you are having a party, don't let Mama wash the beer glasses with anything as silly, as soap. It will forma film, and therefore kill the "head" on the glass of beer. No Soap Used That s why bars and restau rants usually use greaseless de tergents not soap to wash their beer glasses. One barkeep had this advice: Don't sit there and drink beer and eat pop corn or potato chips because if you do, you'll wind up with flat beer. The grease from your lips gets around the top of the glass and wipes out the foam. Its the same idea Grandma had when she used to go after a bucket of suds for Gramps in the old days. She put grease around the top of the bucket. She got more beer, sure, but she killed the foam." Professional Tip If you want to pour yourself a glass of beer like it's supposed to be poured professionally, here is what you should do, according to the experts: If you want a high collar, just let the beer splash into the glass. If you want a moderate collar, tilt the glass slightly and let the I beer slide down the side of the glass until it is about half full. Then let the glass down, raise the bottle or can to about half an inch above the rim of the glass and pour until the glass is full. , skis' miwim iwur, i MEDFORD PHARMACY 127 EAST 6TH Just Off Central For Complete Prescription Service 9 A.M 10 30 P.M.

Mrs: Nora Jane McKay is in charge of the department. As a preview, and to observe National Music week, the staff has played the records for the children each afternoon. The present collection con sists of 24 recordings of 45 rpm and standard speeds. Some will be loaned free and a nominal rental fee will be charged for others, Miss Hayden said. The ones on hand now include pre school and primary age' selec tions, some religious records, and some classics for older chil dren. Through interest in the record library it is expected the collection will be much larger. Anyone wanting to donate re cordings may contact the Junior department. A "record tree" at the library is adding interest. Miniature records with the name of the child making the donation and the name of the record he has given are attached to the' tree. Lebanon, Ore. (U.R) Five cars of an Oregon electric rail way freight train were derailed some two miles north of Lebanon early Thursday. McCarthy Would Aid In Finding Witness Washington (U.R) Sen. Jo seph R. McCarthy offered to help the Senate Elections subcommit tee Friday find a "key witness" scheduled to testify against him. The Wisconsin Republican said he had 'learned that the subcom mittee has been unable to locate one of the principal witnesses scheduled to appear against me" when the group opens hearings Monday on McCarthy's activities. McCarthy wrote Chairman Guy M. Gillette (D.-Ia.) that he would be "glad to aid the com mittee in locating the gentleman in question and I have good rea son to believe that our combined efforts may be successful."
