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.

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. R.S.

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

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN
the United States are increasing.
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.
