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,

.,,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. About 60
ter, and when taken from the
center windows will be displayed

Bake a 2-layer cake in six

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.
