Mrs. Lois Martin, supervisor of elementary school libraries for the Medford system, has figures to prove this is true in Medford, and from New York comes word that sales of children's books are bigger than ever. Mrs. Martin's statistics show that the children of Jackson school, for instance, read 17,760 books for the 1954-55 school year. Circulation increased or remained about the same in two schools, in spite of television's advent in the valley, and in two other schools circulation dipped only slightly. P. Edward Ernest, vice-president in charge of children's pic ture books at Grosset and Dunlap, largest publishers of juvenile literature, says TV actually boosts book sales in some instances. During the height of the Davy Crockett fad, 3,000,000 copies of the book were sold "before you could say king of the wild fron tier." The publishing executive says children's books are cheaper than ever before, and that the 25-cent books sell steadily the year around. Mr. Ernest says that children love the classics, such as Cinder ella and Black Beautiy, but that they would rather read adventure than anything else. Did space permit, Potpourri would like to print in its entirety an article by Joseph Wood Krutch in "The World of Children's Books" loaned by Mrs. Martin. Mr. Krutch says educators should quit trying to "bring literature to children," and instead "bring children to literature." He deplores the present-day tendency to cut literature classes down to what children want, and not what educators believe they should have. Author Krutch told of one group of professors of education who recently "proposed that the list of 'required reading' in schools be based upon a study they have just sponsored of the tastes of school children." He noted that the list contained very few of the supposed classic and was loaded with books which he considered "trivial" and added "Indeed, it is difficult to see just what we are supposed to be getting in return for all the money spent on schools if school children simply spend their time read ing what they would read anyway." Mr. Krutch wondered what would happen if pediatricians based the diets of children on what the children most enjoyed in the way of food, even if the diet then consisted mostly of choco late sodas, orange pop, hot dogs, and bubble gum. The writer also worries about the tendency in this country to use smaller and smaller vocabularies and for publications to be written on the "common level." Saying that some believe this to be the inevitable result of the "democratic movement." Mr. Krutch writes "To me it is exactly the reverse because democracy seems to me to be based on the belief or at least the hope, that the 'com mon man' does not have to remain common and that, given the opportunity, neither intellectuality nor artistic appreciation is be yond him." One of Mr. Krutch's concluding statements is that we may be "in danger of destroying the educational system by our very eagerness to make it easy and efficient." Bonnie Prudden director of the Institute for Physical Fitness, is also worried about the children in this country because she found them not as physically fit in some ways as the children of Europe. Miss Prudden, who recently reported to the White House on, the results of extensive tests, said that "only eight and one-half per cent of the European youngsters failed the tests; more than 56 per cent of the children in this country flunked." Miss Prudden complains that children are shoved into play pens, hauled around in super-market carts and taken to school in buses and that they are all used to passive recreation, bhe quoted one military man to the effect that during. the Korean War Ameri can soldiers "died like flies on death marches while European and Asiatic prisoners survived because they had been trained for en durance from childhood." Mrs. I. E. Schuler, who in recent years has spent more time abroad than she has in her home state of Oregon, plans to leave in January for Europe. Unlike others who want to travel and visit in a foreign country, Mrs. Schuler doesn't spend her time in auick travel from here to there, but finds living quarters in some city and stays for weeks or months. She works with the Red Cross or other charitable agencies, attends concerts and the opera, and before long finds a circle of friends much like those at home. A few years ago Mrs. Schuler spent several months in Vienna, and plans to return there before long for another extended period. Mrs. S., one of the most widely known of the city's residents, found out last week how fast news travels. She sold her home, spent a few days with friends and then moved to a motel but was still receiving mail at her former address. Friday while having lunch with a friend in the woman's lounge of the Elks' club, Mrs. Schuler was presented with a letter correctly addressed to her at her Medford heights home, but with the home address penciled through and the motel name inscribed on the envelope. All of which considerably mystified Mrs. S. - on two counts. How did the postman know she had registered at a motel, and how did the piece of mail - an invitation to a wedding reception -end up with the Elks? O. S. Washing Temperatures For Nylon Explained Urbana, 111. CU.R) To keep white nylons from turning gray wash them in water heated to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, Rosa Lee Prince of the University of Illinois home economics depart ment advises. She tested eight samples of nylon at three temperatures and found the 120 degree water to be the best for preventing shrinkage and giving the best over-all results. An anti-color bleach is best to restore the whiteness of ny lons that have turned yellow, the home economics department found. Smokeless, Odorless Oven Being Developed Dayton, O. (U.R) Soon the cook can accidentally scorch the roast without smoking up the kitchen. Research engineers at Frigi daire say they have developed an oven which keeps smoke and odor out of the room as you cook. They say extensive tests on the new dispelling system in electric ovens will permit the homemaker to broil bacon, steak, and other foods without the oven air being discharged into the room. Even the harsh smoke and odor from accidental spill-overs are eliminated. CAlORIf CONTROLLED Baked without shottemiHI Now Try the Perfect Bread with Yr . Weigrtt-torrtroi DieH! L r.x:"""',.J I Hollywood Bread Is Baked J Exclusively In This Area By Everyone Ready With Advice On Cooking Thanksgiving Bird By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York iU.R) More people are ready with more advice on Thanksgiving dinner than any other single meal served during the year. It may be a simple male opin ion "just have plenty of dress ing and mashed potatoes. Never mind all the fancy stuff." Or it may be a tip from the neighborhood gourmet "try basting the turkey with white wine . . . makes all the differ ence." In the interests of keeping these mouth-watering conversa tions going, we asked a turkey public relations man for some of the most popular turkey- cooking customs. Use Natural Juices Most people just baste turkeys with the natural juices, the au thority said. "But there also are cooks who use cranberry juice, wine, cider, orange juice, gin ger ale, butter, spicy barbecue sauce or peach nectar." An offi cial turkey-cooking pamphlet put out by the poultry and egg national board says turkeys don't need basting at all, providing the bird is thoroughly greased and covered during the cooking with a fat-moistened cloth or aluminum foil. The stuffing, or dressing or filling (depending on which sec tion of the nation you come Irom) can include everything from filberts to cornbread. The all-around favorite is a simple bread crumb stuffing. Cornbread dressing is used frequently in the South. Pecans and oysters are regarded as ideal stuffing ingredients by other Southerners. In New England cranberries often are added to bread stuffing. And in Minne sota, dressing recipes include raisins. Ready To Cook For lazy cooks this year there also is a new solution frozen turkeys that can be. bought al ready stuffed, ready to cook. Mashed turnips, one old style group of eaters insists, must go with every Thanksgiving dinner In Baltimore they serve sauerkraut with turkey," a tur key public relations man said. Gift Wrapping Is Demonstrated; Toy Barrels Out Mrs. Otto Ewaldsen gave a talk and demonstration on Christmas gift wrapping at the November meeting of Medford Lady Lions held Tuesday eve ning at the home of Mrs. Eston Humphreys on Ross Lane. The club is busy now with work on the annual toy project for needy children. Every year at Chirstmas time the Medford Lady Lions see that hundreds of children who would otherwise be forgotten, receive gifts. Last year 497 children were given toys, with 227 dolls and 60 stuffed animals being distrib uted. uted. Barrels have been placed in downtown stores, public schools, the firehall, and the YMCA where the public is ask ed to leave toys, especially dolls in good condition. The plans for this year's project were out lined at the meeting. Refreshments were srved by the hostesses, Mrs. Humphreys, Mrs. Louie Ruhl and Mrs. Rob ert Dyer. 111 llllllll HIIIllllMiliiM'ilfc v Mince pie and ice cream," one fellow reading this story over the writer's shoulder in sisted.
