Children may watch television, but they still read a lot. 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.

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.
