O AAUW Announces Results of Vote In Annual Exhibit Held Last Week A seascape by Clifford Platz, Medford artist, took first place in the pouplar voting of art pa trons who attended the annual art exhibit -sponsored by Med ford Branch, American Associa tion of University Women, at Medford hotel last week. The show, which observed American Art week, opened Thursday night and continued all day Fri day. The large oil which took first place was entitled "Coastal Fog" and was a misty work of blues, greys, blacks and whites which conveyed a deep feeling of cold. Second place went to Robert Miller, young artist who came here from Portland several months ago to paint and teach, and third went to John Ahern, operator of the Art center, for his "Winter Headlights." Mr. Platz began painting sev eral years ago while recupera ting from an illness. Those who have followed his development as indicated by his works entered in valley shows have teen deep ly interested to see the steady improvement in his technique and the change in spirit and emo tion expressed in the paintings. Committee members who counted the ballots stated that Mr. Platz not only headed the list of artists who were given a first place vote, but received a vote on almost every ballot which was cast. Young Miller's winning entry was entitled "Mills and Smoke" and was also a rather large oil. Although a young artist, Mr. Miller's work is largely tradi tional in feeling and shows the effect of art school instruction. Vhile those who attended the show gave more first-place votes to the works of Mr. Platz and Mr. Miller, they seemed to talk more about Artist Ahern's win ner. Striving for a new illusion and effect, the artists produced a work with masses of dark back ground. Splashed with three pools of light, one showing a bare-branched tree, another a covered bridge and the third a patch of road in the distance. The work so intrgued show guests that many kept return ing to it time after time for further inspection and comment among groups. Medford Senior High school art students also entered the show, and were judged in a sep arate division. Show visitors voted first place to Pat Calloway for a work en titled "Covered Bridge," second I to Ronald Wisdom for a water artists entered 93 works, color depicting a large piece of j The six winners will be dis .,,v,;, Played this week at the Art cen- macninery and third to Carol , f ' . . . . m. ... Ballard for a picture of an av enue and three poplar trees. Almost without exception val ley residents who have attended all five of the AAUW shows com mented this year on the obvious I development and growth. It is not only that the shows attract more artists and a steady in crease in attendance, but that the quality of the work exhib ited is far higher. Some new comers viewing the show for the first time this year one hBrself an artist from California ex pressed amazement that Jackson county could produce so many artists of talent. AAUW committee members and artists commented that al lowing visitors to express their reaction by voting on the entries created additional interest and resulted in the guests spending more time at the show. Guests found themselves going through the show more than once, study ing and discussing the various works and working hard to make their voting objective and worth while. Several vistors expressed the idea that it might improve the show and make it more worthwhile to artists if for pur poses of voting, the entries could be divided into those done by professionals and those by amateurs. Mrs. R. H. Denning was show chairman and was assisted by Mrs. Sam Taylor, Mrs. A. J. Jo hanson, Mrs. Paul McDuffee and Mrs. John Warnke.

'TIL 9 ,Heat a jar of baby food in 45 seconds. Bake a 2-layer cake in six minutes in a cold oven. Heat coffee directly in the cup and saucer, the saucer remain ing cool. The range itself is in the form of a compact, lustrous oven that can be installed as a built-in unit or stacked on cabinets as a mod ular unit. Browning of meats and casseroles, long the question mark of electronic cooking, is achieved by a super-speed coil element in the top of .the oven. Adjustable racks and timer con trol the browning unit. A card file of over 400 detailed recipes is built into the bottom ; of the range for easy reference in cook ing. . Uses Microwave Guests at the first viewing of the range were told that the unit operates on microwaves, ' the same type of energy which trans mits the ultra high frequency signal on a television set. Since heat is generated in the food it self, temperature controls are eliminated. The housewife turns on high or low speed, sets a fimer dial, and the food auto matically selects its own cooking or baking temperature. Electronic cooking offers a new flexibility in home meals acording to Alan P. Tappan, president of The Tappan Stove company. The company has been testing ranges in home kitchens for over a year and homemakers have noted the change in meal habits of their families. The electronic oven is used for many foods formerly cooked on surface burners: eggs, veget ables, puddings, hot cereal, sauces, baby foods, bacon. When members of the family are late for dinner, individual portions of meat, potatoes, and vegetables are arranged on dinner plates and stored in the refrigerator until serving. The plate is then placed directly in the oven for a few minutes for "refreshing" and heating of food. The food re tains flavor and moisture and the plate itself remains cool enough to be removed from the oven without pot holder. More Roasts Working wives serve more roasts during the week, since these meats can be cooked in a half-hour. Mothers prepare more hot lunches for school children. Many- women testing the range prepare meals early in the day, reheat them at dinner in the time it takes to. set the table. Home freezers are used more often meats and other foods are defrosted, as well as heated, .in the electronic oven. ' Homemakers testing the range also report the microwave cook ing cuts down on; dishwashing especially pot cleaning.. Food does not stick to the surface of cooking "utensils. Most foods are cooked directly in s er v i n g dishes. Canned soups are mixed and heated in soup bowls in the range. Hot cereals are cooked in small amounts in cereal dishes for quick breakfasts. Frozen and fresh vegetables are quickly cooked in casserole serving dishes, retaining garden ' fresh ness. There is no need for the big kettle for corn on the cob. The ears of corn are cooked, without water, in two minutes on a glass plate in the electronic oven. Families report more meal time entertaining in hot weather.
