A NlchcgsUfofth of . . . Comiiient On By HARMAM United Pre Washington U. The Ger mans insist that we don't know how to serve beer, and that goes in jmtmm. i ma for Milwaukee If and St. Louis. That is the word from a friend of mine, a major, who has made a mighty survey of beer joints around Army h e a dquarters in Europe, Hirmu Nichols mostly Germany. According to the major, who has a m p 1 e d American stuff from home b'rew to "needle" beer for one-fourth of a century, we folks at home are doing all things all wrong, at least ac cording to the German way. There still is some challenge, but the Germans are supposed to have invented beer. Matter of Degrees Anyhow, this major likes to tell about his littl chat with a German beer-tap tender. This fellow reminded the soldier that in America folks like their suds served at 32.5 degrees Fahren heit. "That's where you Americans are foolish," the German bar keep told my friend. My friend was buying a 6-cent beer at the time and he had no reason to complain, on account of back home a small shell would cost him at least 15 cents. So what could he do but listen? "Mein Herr," he said to the Pickin' Pears By BILL HURN Friday evening the 60-piece Tlnt High school band under the baton of Ralph Foster pre sented its spring concert at Camp White. Ashland BPOE 944 with Emil Kroeger, state hospital chairman for the Elks, was in charge. Mrs. Beth Madi son, president of the Lady Elks, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Sharp, Ken Lewis, Mrs. Kroeger and Madi son,c all of Ashland, were pres ent.' The lales had charge of serving coffee and doughnut re freshments. Q New staff accretions brought to Camp White by VA are Wil liam Wallace Mitchell and Theo dore C. Nicholson. Mitchell is being transferred from VAC Los Angeles, to become assist ant engineer. He " is accompan-j led by his wife and daughter, Lynne. Mitchell comes with a wide eollegiate and service school background having degrees from Denver University San Diego college and San Jose State and the US NPS. His mili tary career includes 6V4 years. . Mrs. Lura Mitchell was a flight nurse on several trips "over the hump." Nicholson becomes procure ment officer for supply service at Camp White, coming from the VAH at Miles City,- Mont. Mrs. Nicholson and their 8-year-old son, Michael John, are here with him, residence having been established at Eagle Point.

The major, being an experi mentalist and interested in the business of learning, played guinea pig. On the house. After a number of experiments for free he was inclined to agree that the German inn keeper was pretty much right. Before the major could pull away without fear of trouble with the cops, he was forced to listen to another lecture. Need Big Mug "Also," the barkeep said, "You Yankees don't know any more than to put fine beer in six ounce glasses. And when you pour her, you sneak the beer down the side of the glass, so she will not foam. Beer to be goot, must be poured from a height of at least one foot over the mug. And that mug must not be a little one. It has to be a great beeg mug. The mug ought to be earthen. Glass is not goot." The major again was about to pull away, when up came the subject of washing beer glasses or mugs. Again, it seems that we over here don't know the secrets of the Germans. "Neffer," the bartender was saying to the major, "neffer, neffer go washing a beer mug in soap and water. Use salt and hot water and nottin else. Soap in the mug, louse, as you say, up the foam on the next round." News and Notes From Camp White The bL-monthly Monday night dance of VFW auxiliary under the direction of Leila Burch and her aides, held a successful par ty.

STARRING HOLLYWOOD'S EXCITING AS MASTER OF - TOtllGHT! 10:30 Home Appliance Co. MEDFORD and ASHLAND Bridges Discloses Contact Made by Superior Oil Man Washington U.R) Sen. Styles Bridges disclosed Wednes day night that a Superior Oil Co. attorney asked him last fall at Concord, N. H., when the Sen ate might act on the natural gas bill. Bridges, ranking, Republican member of two Senate lobby in vestigating committees, revealed attorney Elmer Patman called at his office in October or No vember. He said Patman, an Austin, Tex., lawyer, traveled to Con cord to talk to him in his capac ity as chairman of the Senate GOP Policy Committee. Bridges said he reminded Patman that the Democrats were in control of Congress and that he should talk to them. Testimony before Senate in vestigators has shown it was Patman who hired oil lobbyist John M. Neff. Neff offered Sen. Francis' Case (R-S.D.) a S2.500 campaign contribution during the natural gas bill dispute. Bridges is a member of the four-man committee lnvestigat ing the contribution offered Case and the widespread activities of Neff in connection with the nat ural gas bill. Bridges also is a member of the new eight-man committee preparing to open a broad investigation into lobby ing. He disclosed his contact with Patman when newsmen asked him about the lawye&s expense accounts that indicated more than one visit to Concord. The accounts were introduced as evi dence before the four-man com mittee. Republican members of the eight-man lobbying committee Wednesday agreed to insist on "majority rule" in all commit tee decisions including the is suance of subpoenas. Such a stand, if approved by the full committee, would sharp ly restrict the freedom of action normally permitted Senate com mittee chairmen. Sen.

INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE F 1 POPULAR FOR LENT Hot Cross bunsire tremendously popular throughout the Lenten season; certain to please the family whether you make them according to our recipe today, use a hot roll mix or buy them at the bake shop.

That United Air Lines seven-hour non-stop coast-to-coast flight i3 really something! Fast flying, good eating. . In New York with quick side trips to Atlantic City (Canners Convention) and to Washington, D. C. (Press Women), your foods editor has recently covered a great many meetings, eaten a lot of good food, visited with foods industry men and women and talked about food .with many friends and a few celebrities. Now to decipher some of .those notes, hoping they'll prove of interest to you. First person of major impor tance usually visited in New York is Paul S. Willis, president of Grocery Manufacturers of America, Inc. This association represents practically all of America's manufacturers and processors of well known brands of food and grocery products. Member-companies of GMA op erate about 2500 factories and processing plants; employ well over a mililon adult persons, do an annual sales volume exceed ing $200,000,000. Mr. Willis told us that retail food store sales set new records in 1955 with sales of $43,7000,000,000; said that 1956 would show further in creases, then forecast that Am erica's annual food consumption in the next decade can increase by about $30,000,000,000 over present levels. Feeding the fam ily continues to take about 25 per cent of our income "after taxes." Talking with GMA's staff, we learned that "persuading home makers to read the label" con tinues a major project, so we remind you that "the label tells the inside story; gives - all the facts you need to select grocer ies best suited to your purpose; often give suggestions for prod uct use or recipes." It is also well to remember that the sug gestions or directions for use have been tested by experts and are those most likely to succeed. Frozen Food Industry Increasing in Popularity In. New York for the 10th an nual convention of the frozen foods industry ,at the Waldorf Astoria, we heard that we're now eating 45 pounds of frozen foods per capita and that this amount is increasing right along. Vegetables rank first in popu larity with more than 1,000,000,- 000 pound volume; poultry next wtih 900,000,000 pounds, then 829,000,000 pounds of fruit juic es and 625,000,000 pounds of prepared foods. Among preared foods, the greatest increase has been in the completely prepared dishes that are ready to heat and eat. Pot pies head this list with potato products, fish sticks, complete dinners, waffles and fruit pies following in that order. Frozen packaged meat will be increas ingly popular as it bacomes more readily available. It is thought likely that 50 per cent. of all our meat , purchases will be "frozen," four years from now. Major item of interest to foods editors and consumers was a re port analyzing the nutritional value of 30 frozen vegetables, 14 frozen fruits, seven frozen juices. Established for the first time and following a five-year, $250,000 research project, vita min and mineral contents re tained in frozen foods were doc umented proving the retention of nature's best efforts in health ful eating. Foods highest in vitamin and mineral retention were aspara gus, broccoli, collard greens, or ange juice, spinach and straw berries. Rated as "good" sourc es of , iron were lima beans, mixed vegetables, peas, black eyed peas, french-fried potatoes and spinach. Good protein sources are as paragus, broccoli, lima beans, collard greens and spinach. Low-sodium dieters find so dium rated low in asparagus, green beans, corn, graperfruit juice, orange juice, peaches, french-fried potatoes, red rasp berries and strawberries. Hot Cross Buns VINCENT Editor Lenten Tradition Hot Cross buns of the Chris tian era have been traditional since they first appeared around 1250 A.D At that time they were sold to Easter Sunday communi cants as they left church. Today in America the Hot Cross bun season starts Ash Wednesday and continues all through Lent, but the buns are much the same as in 1250. They can be made using a hot roll mix, but we pre fer to make ours like this: Hot Cross Buns These "buns' 'are simply won derful. Serve piping hot with plenty of butter. 2 medium sized potatoes Vz cup milk Vz cup sugar 1V4 teaspoons salt z cup margarine or butter Vz cup warm water 2 packages or cakes yeast, active dry or compressed 3 eggs Az cups sifted enriched flour Grated peel of 1 lemon cup raisins Ji cup sifted confectioners' sugar Pare and boil potatoes. Drain and put through ricer or mash until smooth. Scald milk. Stir in sugar, salt, butter and three fourths cup of potatoes. Cool to luekwarm. Measure water into a large mixing bowl (warm, not hot, water for active dry yeast; lukewarm water for compressed yeast). Sprinkle or crumble in yeast, stir until dissolved. Add lukewarm milk-potato mixture. Beat two of the eggs and add to yeast mixture. Stir in half of the flour and lemon peel. Beat until smooth. Add remaining flour or enough to make an eas ily handled dough. Turn out on lightly floured board and knead quickly and lightly until smooth and elastic about eight to 10 minutes. Let rise until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down and turn out on lightly floured board. Knead raisins into dough. Divide dough in half; form each into a roll about 12 inches long. Cut with a sharp knife into 12 equal pieces. Form into smooth balls. Place in greased nine-inch cake pans about one-fourth inch apart. Separate remaining egg. Beat egg yolk with two table spoons water and brush buns with the mixture. Cover buns and set in a warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk. Bake in moderate (375 de gree) oven about 25 minutes. Beat remaining egg white and add enough to confectioners' su gar to make spreading consisten cy. Drop from tip of spoon, mak ing crosses on tops of buns. Mak es two dozen. Vegetables, Fruits Lead Canned Foods Parade Interesting thing, and smart, too. .No one at the Canners Con vention mentioned frozen foods and no one at the Frozen Foods cnvention . mentioned canned foods; st least not in my hear ing. Both industries seem to be growing satisfactorily. Record quantities of fruits have been canned in recent years, said a statistician address ing the National Canners at At lantic City, and current tonnage BONNIE MX :, " frn -"- Thursday. March 8, 1956 PROSPECT By RAMONA ODOM Prospect Mrs. Helen Hub bard of Prospect was operated on March 5 in. the Community hospital of Medford. She is do ing fine and- will return home Wednesday. Five students from Prospect High were chosen to hold coun ty offices for Student Govern ment day. They were: Darwin Bean, county treasurer; Bob Jones, civil defense; Don An dreson, veterans service; Giner va Matthers, court secretary, and Vera Pope, deputy county clerk. All are seniors but Vera Pope, who is a Junior. Mrs. Marg Holmes of Pros pect was operated on March 5 in the Sacred Heart hospital of Medford. She is doing fine but does not know when she will return home. is expected to exceed earlier es timates by 10 per cent. Latest figures say that 58 per cent of all apricots are canned, 52 per cent of the pears, half of the red cherries, 39 per cent of the j peaches and 18 per cent of the j apples. We west coasters grow a j lot of these, you know. I Vegetable canning is almost four times that for fruits. Forty five states produce vegetables for processing. California is high on the acreage list with nearly 200,000 acres planted to vegetables.. About three-fourths of all the tomatoes are canned, 10 per, cent of the peas, 60 per cent of the sweet corn and about 40 per cent of the green beans. In recent years sweet corn has replaced peas as the largest volume canned vegetable and the pack of canned beans has shown spectacular growth. Consumer use of canned soups, baby food and canned meats continues to climb. Can ned fruit juice drinking is now about 3Vz times the 1935-39 rate which will surprise no one. Al together, more than 500 differ ent food items are now packed j annually in approximately 20, 000,000,000 tin and glass con tainers with retail value esti mated' at $4,000,000,000. Plastic Eggs There's talk among foods writ ers around New York concern ing the packaging of hen fruit in plastic and plenty of people think the plastic protector is here to stay. Time will tell, but don't say that I didnt' tell you. Actually 12 compartment plas tic egg packets are being tested in upstate New York. Seems that a machine breaks the eggs and drops them gently into transparent plastic compart ments which are then sealed by another machine. When it is de sirable to "separate" the eggs i for icings, souffles and the like, j the whites may be drained off j via a hole in the compartment. ' Interesting, isn't it?
