Yet few of the people studied rated an A-plus in nutri tion, according to the American Nutrition Foundation. Even in areas where ' the inhabitants have the reputation of being "well-fed,' diets often were low in calcium, vitamin C and vita- man A. It seems we eat well, but not well enough. Fortunate ly, it is easy to make the adjust ments which bring borderline diets into ' the A-plus class. Wouldn't you like to check your own diet? Check calcium, for example. It has long been recommended that adults consume at least one pint (two 8-ounce glasses) of milk each day to insure an ade quate calcium supply. But Rut gers university scientists found about one-third, of a group of six hundred men, were drinking less than one glass of milk a day. When this happens to be the problem, it is helpful to know of - other ways of taking calcium. About one and one-half ounces of American cheese pro vide the same amount of cal cium as one glass of milk. Cam embert, Swiss, and Parmesan cheese are also rich in calcium. Among other foods high in pro tein and calcium, one cup of canned salmon is equivalent to one glass of milk in calcium content. And one glass of milk is about right with cereal and fruit combinations served for breakfast, between meal snacks, or for dessert. Among the green vegetables, escarole, endive, collards, turnip greens, broccoli and kale are ex cellent sources of calcium. Add ing these calcium-rich protec tive foods to the diet raises the score rapidly in other minerals and vitamins, in vitamin A es pecially. , Protective cereals, either na tural whole grain, enriched or fortified, contribute a generous source of B-vitamins and iron. And when oranges, grapefruit, strawberries or melons are the fruits of choice, vitamin C in take' quickly reaches ideal lev els.' Plain Beef Liver Takes on New Airs Chicago (U.R) Beef liver, best known as an economy dish, is taking on party airs. Try it next time you want to give guests an unusual appetizer with their favorite drink: Cut strips of liver li inches wide and into approximately 1 inch lengths. Dip the strips into seasoned corn meal and fry in hot " shortening (350 degrees) about 1 minute. Kleep the strips separated and do not overload the frying kettle during cook ing. Dram on absorbent paper and serve piping hot with your favorite barbecue sauce or dunk"- of chili sauce, prepared mustard, garlic, salt and a few drops of tabasco sauce. WAGON Central Ph. 2-5702 Sunday, September 23. 19SS IPilpiminrn As a little girl v-e were taught that it was impolite, as well as bad for the digestion, to gobble one's food. It's handy thongh. Last week we ate three hot sweet rolls, just out of Mrs. Anna Bengtson's oven, in practically nothing flat. Mrs. Bengtson had coffee brewed, too, but being already some 20 minutes late on the picture-taking schedule, we had to swallow the rolls and run. We didn't actually keep count, but we're pretty sure that Pho tographer Bob Dyer also ate three. Observing that Mrs. B had at least a couple of dozen more rolls to be baked we inquired if she was having a party. Mrs. Bengtson said no, she just likes to bake, and gives the extra rolls away. "The neighbors seem to like them," she said, modestly. I'll bet they do, at that. The next stop in today's BPWC series was in the library to take a picture of Miss Helen Webster. When we explained about Mrs. Bengtson and the rolls, Miss Webster's face took on a longing look and she wondered aloud what Mrs. B. would say if a hungry BPWC member just happened to wander in, about lunch time. ' Miss Webster had a pile of books on her desk, but they weren't fascinating new novels. The one she was reading was entitled "Problems of Library Finance." The next day Miss W. sent u. a letter which she found inter esting and amusing. It was written in 1912 by W. I. Vawter, attor ney and member of the library board that year, granting permis sion for suffragettes to hold meetings in the library, providing "no voters" were present. V Writing to the librarian, Miss Robinson, Mr. Vawter said: "I will say that it was decided at the meeting that the women in favor of suffrage for themselves shouM have the privilege of holding meetings there, providing voters were excluded, and the same privilege should be extended to women who are opposed to it, excluding all the male population, and particularly the voting population." Attorney Vawtsr vent o:a to explain that the piirpoie of the library assembly room vjS3 to provide a place for mceUngs "or the betterment of tlia town, educational purposes and such. We think that the meetings of the ladies to consider the matter of suf frage, pro and con, might be considered in the nature of an educa tional matter." The writer went on to carefully explain that if voters were allowed to attend, however, the meeting could be called political and the library board would be open to criticism. Rocky Marciano owes us a new double boiler. Or maybe Archie Moore does. Anyhow, while we concentrated on the first three rounds of the fight Wednesday night, we completely forgot that the electricity was turned on high under the double boiler, filled with part of the dinner menu. About the end of the third round we smelled smoke and rushed to the kitchen to find the bottom of the boiler red hot, like the plate, and much of the enamel melted off. We didn't really miss the rice that was cooking, though, for we dined very well indeed on antelope steak, a gift from Mrs. Eugene Cass who was one of the successful antelope hunters this fall. Mrs. Cass, who enjoys hunting very much, almost didn't get the animal. When the Casses arrived at the scene of the hunt Mrs. C. took a couple of experimental shots to see that her rifle was still in good working order and then discovered that she had only a handful of cartridges the full box of ammunition had been left at home. With no spare ammunition, Mrs. Cass was a bit nervous when she finally sighted her game, but didn't miss and now can boast a fine mounted head of an Oregon antelope. . "Out of 700 gradutes, none claim overwork" reads a headline in the August 25 issue of "Better Schools." Under the dateline of Jefferson county, Colorado, the' news item states that because of a recent survey among high school graduates, which brought to light "a feeling of inadequacy in the subject matter of English," school officials were planning a reassessment of cur riculum values. i - u "Nowhere in the survey, in which nearly 700 graduates from 1949 to 1953 took part, did a single graduate say or imply that he worked too hard in high school," the article says. "On the con trary, a number blamed teacher?, parents, or both for not working the students hard enough." One graduate said "My high school showed the influence of pampering parents where scholastic stand ards should have been met but were not in many cases." Another said, "The main trouble is that the teachers have been forced by the parents to make the students happy instead of giving them an education." ' A third graduate was quoted as saying "I just wish I would have started studying before it was too late. I went to school with the idea 'It's for fun.' Thank gosh, I've been lucky in getting a job, because I realize now, my cheerleading and fun were nice, but they sure don't count after graduation." ... ,- Wedding anniversaries have provided news of more than ordi nary interest this week. Mr. and Mrs. Holly F. Swingle and the Charles L. Mays both celebrated their golden wedding anniversar ies in recent days, and both stories recount that the couples went to Portland and attended the Levis and Clark exposition on their honeymoons. The Swingles had the pleasure of returning to Port land on their golden wedding day and revisiting the site of the exposition and even viewing again some of the same exhibits. The Fred Rydes honored Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Hill of Grants Pass at a dinner last Sunday which observed the Hills' 25th anni versary. Not only were the Hills married in the Rydes' home, back in La Crosse, Kan., but Wilbur and John Hawley, who served re freshments at the wedding, also attended the anniversary party. ' The men of 18th century England took a dim view of cosmetics. They passed a law which said that any woman who dared "be tray into matrimony any of his Majesty's subjects by" virtue of scents, paints' and cosmetic washes" would have her marriage annulled and would be punished under the witchcraft law.

It has begun a campaign to get women into hats for all other occasions. For two reasons. One. sales have dropped. Two, the in dustry contends that a woman this fall will look "funny" in the new, narrow silhouette decreed by fashion, unless the hat com pletes the costume. Women's hatlessness cost the industry a three per cent sales drop from 1953 to 1954. The Millinery Stabilization Commis sion, New York, estimated retail sales in 1953 at $380,000,000. Sales in 1954 had dropped to $368,600,000. But the commis sion said milliners hoped by in dividual and group promotions to bring 1955 sales back to the 1953 level at least. Reasoning Of Hatless Why do even the most fash, ion-conscious women occasion ally go hatless? Frances Ashmore, staff mem ber of a national fashion maga zine, told a Fashion Group meet ing in New York, that women give these excuses: "My neck is too long and my face so thin that hats iuai.e lue look pin-headed." Or, "A hat makes me look older." Or, "My boy-friend doesn't like hats." Or, "Hats ruin my hair-do." Milliner . Sally Victor, who makes Mrs. Dwight D. Eisen hower's hats, said the industry itself is to blame. "Some of us milliners have fancied ourselves fashion dicta tors," she said. "We've told a woman she had to wear this or that. A designer needs the free dom to. create, sure. -But she must never forget also that a Handweavers Hold Meeting Tuesday; Instructor Here Rogue Valley Handweavers guild members held the" first session of fall Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl C. Bradf ish. Events of the past summer included a picnic dinner at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Clarence Drummond when Mrs. ' James Grigsby assisted the hostess; an other dinner party in ' the gar den of Mrs. Paul Janney, with Mrs. E. F. Bullock and Mrs. Aletha Vawter assisting; and a dinner meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Loff at Grants Pass, when Mr. and Mrs. Brad fish were cohosts. During late August members received weaving lessons from Mrs. Harriett Tidball of the Bay area; Since ' Mrs.- Tidball is a nationally known instructor, members felt unusually fortu nate in securing her for the lesson series. Winter programs are to be taken from lessons by Mrs. Tidball. woman has the freedom to ac cept or reject her creation." Hsir-do's Helped Designer John Frederics said hairdressers had been in part responsible but he just thought they were smart for the move. Italian cut and other short cuts which women liked better with out hats. New hair colors also cut into our business," said Fred erics. But he added things are look ing up. "The cycle has turned," he said. "Longer hair . is back, and hats look better with it." Most milliners argued that this fall and winter's stem-like silhouette demands a hat, pre ferably a big hat for counter balance. The "more hat" look comes about in several ways through plenty of bulky fur hats, fluffy fabrics, and stress on roomier shapes such as toques and berets instead of the tiny pillbox.

(U.R) Par ents can take most of the blame, if children grow up with atroJ cious eating habits, says one authority. - Mrs. Mary Barnes, Southern Illinois University nutritionist, says that when children exert their independence, "parents give in all too quickly to their choice of foods." Mrs. Barnes, who has made study of teen-agers' eating hab its, says that on the whole they are "deplorable." "In the years when children should be building up good nu trition reserves," she says, "they are tearing down their health by eating on the run, going with out breakfast and eating too much sugar." Mrs. Barnes said diets of many teenagers are low in vita mins and calcium and too high in sugar. The SIU nutritionist advised against between-meal snacks, which she said may result in overweight and sluggishness.
