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.

Planned a) Library
A circulating record library
for children, made possible by
donated funds and recordings,
will open at the Medford library

children each afternoon.
The present collection con
sists of 24 recordings of 45 rpm

be loaned free and a nominal
rental fee will be charged for
others, Miss Hayden said. The
ones on hand now include pre

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."
