(Brainerd photo) Festival Footnotes One of the interesting new personalities in the festival this summer is Rick Risso, a quiet young actor who hails from the Bay area. His most important role in the festival is that of King Henry in "Henry V," the historical play being presented by the festival company this summer. Rick has used most of his spare time these past two weeks learning lines for Henry, the longest part that Shakespeare wrote. The total number of lines he must memorize for the one play is something more than 1,000. In addition to Henry, Rick will also portray Ferdinand in "The Tempest," and has minor parts in the other two plays. Rick is of French-Italian de scent, and may be described as slim, dark, of medium height, and quite good-looking. Several members of the company have commented on the fact that he resembles a Hollywood movie star, although they cannot agree on which one it is. Rick's interest in the theater might be called hereditary, for his father is a professional mu sician. He has studied drama for two years at San Jose State col lege and hopes to act profession ally some day. The festival was first brought to Rick's attention by a friend of Producing Director Angus Bowmer, John Kerr, who is a di rector at San Jose State. Rick's previous Shakespearean experi ence includes Lysander in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Iago in "Othello." Rick makes his home in Palo Alto with his grandparents as his father is a violinist with Henry King's ' orchestra and spends most of his time traveling around the country. He has two step-brothers. Michael Onofrio, of West Haven, Connecticut, and Arnold Nelson, of Chicago, both new to the festival this summer, pro vided good column material when they started discussing their impressions of the trip west. Both admitted that the never ending flatness and desolation of the mid-west frightened them somewhat, and they also agreed on the impression given by the awe-inspiring Rocky mountains. Mike, who came out with Bill INI and LEONS TOTS-TO-TEENS Month ENDER CONTINUES Thru Monday, June 30 WITH Wonderful Vacation Savings for You! Glimpses of Oregon's Shakespearean Festival Ball, Allen Fletcher and John Bethencourt, remarked that his party had slept by a stream in the mountains one night. "The noise was terrific, but it was very charming," he added. Mike also admitted being thrilled at crossing the Missis sippi river. "We crossed at Han nibal, where Mark Twain was born. When we stopped down the road from his house to look around, I was just sure I was standing on a piece of ground that Mark Twain had stood on some time or other." The unseasonable rain which has been falling on the Rogue Valley this June has provoked quite a bit of comment from company members new to this territory, and festival veterans have been busy reassuring them that this isn't really typical of the Oregon weather they had heard so much about. The sun shine which . appeared for a short time Friday afternoon brought cries of joy from the company and a promise from Gus Bowmer not to complain about the heat when it did come. Pat Hines, of Corpus Christi, Tex., always brings a laugh from the cast when he sits down at a sewing machine to work on costumes because he claps on a tall yellow hat, worn by Brad Curtis as Andrew Aguecheek in last year's production of "Twelfth Night," and insists that he cannot sew well without it on his head.

KESSAMIN REDUCING TABLETS wainscotps pharmacy 400 EAST MAIN - PHONE 2-6440 Diets Improved ' Though Prices Up7 Food Survey Shows Food prices which have been dismaying homemakers during J the past half-dozen years have not affected very seriously the eating habits of the American people. Government figures cited this month by the Institute of Life Insurance show that for the most part we are still set ting a very bountiful table in deed in the United States and as far as food values are con cerned, a better table than be fore the war. In the five years between 1935 and 1939, when steak aver aged 36 cents a pound and eggs 35 cents a dozen, it took around $140 on the average to feed one person for one year. Now it takes well over $325 to do this, mostly because today's food prices are so much -higher but also because a good many Amer icans are eating more expensive foods now and in other ways are spending more money on their food budget. One govern ment economist has estimated that if food prices were sudden ly returned to 1935-1939 levels, our nation's food bill would amount to around $165 per per son per year. Estimates of how much food is being consumed in the. United States this year reveal that with very few exceptions we are eat ing larger quantities of the more expensive kinds of food than we were eating before the war, in cluding five per cent more beef, thirty per cent more pork, alj most half again as many eggs and six or eight times as many frozen fruits and vegetables. We have more protein in our diet today than before the war, more minerals, more fats, more vita mins and more of everything else except starches and sugars. The increase in the nation's consumption of expensive foods represents a long-term trend in America. Urged on by nutrition ists and home economists, home makers .have gradually been moving towards a diet richer in meat, poultry, fish and eggs, milk, citrus fruits and vegeta bles. This trend in the past ten or fifteen years has been partic ularly noticeable among fam ilies of the lowest income group, who are now spending two or three times as much for food as they were before the war. There are still other reasons why total food expenditures in 4? 8 & Miss Doris Drost Brainerd photo) Miss Doris Drost Meeting Delegate Miss Doris Drost, 801 East Main street, Medford, leaves Sunday to attend the fifth an nual international convention of Epsilon Sigma Alpha sorority, set for July 4 to 6 at San An tonio, Texas.

One of them is that a shift has taken place in the nation's popu lation. There are relatively few er farm families today, which means that there are more fam ilies who must buy all their food. We are also spending more time and money in this country "eating out" in restaurants than we used to. And still a third factor in today's cost of living is that homemakers are now buying more processed foods than formerly and are using few er "raw" or unprocessed foods. Detergent Survey Made By Extension Service; Information Released New detergents for launder ing are bringing many questions from Oregon housewives as to their best use and the possible effects on wear, shrinkage and color of fabric, the extension ser vice reports. A recenf study on laundering women's work dresses turned up the following information: The amount of synthetic (soap less) detergent needed for home laundering was about half the amount of other detergents re quired for cleanliness. The soaps used in the test were pure neu tral soap flakes, bar laundry soap, and granule soap. ; No one type of detergent soap or synthetic or method of laundering caused more shrinkage than any other. The dresses that were washed too long lost weight, a sign that subjecting fabric to too much friction in washing may cause wear. The length of time fabric is washed appeared to have more effect on fading than the deter gent used. Generally, the com mercial process is longer than home laundering in an auto matic washer, and this may be one reason for fading in com mercially laundered garments. Therefore, the housewife should run the washing machine only long enough to get clothes clean. To avoid the need for long, hard washing, do not al low clothes especially colored ones to become badly soiled before washing them. 134 Years of Peace To Be Commemorated Blaine, Wash.
