TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) Tape Recordings Provide Program For Unit Session Rogue-Elk Members and friends of Rogue-Elk Extension unit heard an unusual program of tape recordings during an open meeting held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ranald Axtell, Laurelhurst road, March 23. The - ' ,i the World. Under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. B. Sam Taylor, Med ford, taped talks made for exten sion programs were presented from Holland. England, New Zealand and Dallas, Tex. An ardent tape-recording lobbyist, Mr. Taylor explained that the plan of exchanging ideas and in formation with people in other parts of the world originated with Harry Mathews of Dallas. By way of tape, Mr. Mathews spoke to the group and intro duced his wife who said she ex changed recipes from other countries but hadn't yet been able to try one for kangaroo tail soup. Miss Margery Elliott, music teacher in a Birmingham, Eng land, high school said that since she lived in the second largest city of England, she scarcely felt qualified to speak on an ACWW program, but was pleased to greet everyone. Andre Stientje of Nieuw Loos drecht," Holland, talked . about auto-cycles, or bicycles with mo tors. Mr. Stientje is an interpre ter for a large corporation. Mr. Taylor stated that English is rapidly replacing French as the common language of Europe. By way of colored slides which accompanied the taped talk, John McDonald, teacher in Tau peke school, Aukland, New Zea land, showed unit members through his school and con ducted them on a trip to the black sand beaches bordering the Tasmanian sea. To augment their tape hobby, the Taylors have assembled a large collection of letters, stamps, magazines and pamph lets from other lands. "People from other countries want to know about our every day life," said Mr. Taylor. "They are interested in what we war, what we had for breakfast, in the appearance of our homes, and they seek understanding of us. With world understanding will come peace." Seventeen members of the unit and four guests were pres ent for the luDcheon which fol lowed -the irorning business meeting.

'e Vi AWARD WINNERS Helen Hayes (right) presents the American Theater Wing's "Tony" awards to Julie Hams and Paul Muni in New York. They were voted star actress and actor in 3 dramatic play. Miss Harris was cited for her performance in "The Lark" and Muni was honored for his work in "Inherit the Wind." Keeping Books Said Aid For Busy Working Wives By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Working wives would have more time for home and family and more suc cess with their jobs, if they kept books on themselves. This is the theory of Virginia Conner Dick, a fragile-looking blonde mother of two, who laughingly concedes that she probably is the most "sys temized" career woman around. Mrs'. Dick, a successful inte rior designer, said she couldn't crowd all she does in a busy day without her batch of notebooks for keeping data and dates on everything from contents of the attic to social engagements. "It sometimes sounds as if I'm so busy keeping records I've no time for anything else," said Mrs. Dick. "But I'll tell you, I found it was a choice between order and chaos." Loose-leaf Books The Cleveland-born designer never throws away an engage ment book. She has records on such assorted items as the num ber of yards of fabric needed to cover the living room couch; every gift ever given and received; the dates on which her children got, say, their typhoid shots; a list of things she needs on a trip so that packing is a breeze; and she used to keep an inventory of her wardrobe, but decided it was unnecessary. Basically, her system for mak ing the most of time is broken down into four loose-leaf books, all of them of the daily diary Week's Sewing Buy Keep her playing happily all summer in this neat, sweet three piece set!

' type kept by physicians and others who work by strict sched ule. One book is kept at her office, and lists appointments for her work day. A second book travels with her wherever she goes, and holds not only reminders of things to be done but ideas she may get while she's in a taxi or on a train. The third is the house hold book, which includes every thing from an inventory of house hold possessions to du plicate listings of vital papers in her wallet passport number, driver's license, etc. It Works For Her "The fourth is the catch-all," she said. "In it, I keep things I'm just generally interested in . . . I don't want them to get away." These may include any thing from a gardening hint to the review of a book she wants to read. For Mrs. Dick, the widow of a New York business executive, the system works. It has helped her. to build a firm, which has decorated private homes, offices, showrooms, and recently even a crematorium. She also manages her home at Islip, Long Island, N. Y. (she and New York's Mayor Robert Wagner are neigh bors on the island); and a hand some apartment on New York's East River. Two children, aged six anr 10, help keep her sched ule busy. "I started keeping books 15 years ago as I found my life becoming increasingly busy and my interests broadening," she said. "I don't know how much time it saves me. But I do know I used to waste a lot of it, just trying to figure out what I was supposed to do next."

Phone 2-5702 Food Combinations Important Nutrition Foundation States One way to be sure of good eating is to make calories your friends, advises Dr. Charles Glen King, executive director of The Nutrition foundation. Science continues to find evidence that minerals, vitamins, and the amino acids of proteins are more efficiently used when supplied by the calorie-containing foods in which they occur naturally, Dr. King states. Results of re search caution against skipping breakfast or other meals as a means of cutting down on cal ories. Besides the loss of alert ness which follows this practice, there is a reduction in the ef fective use of food nutrients.

Stainless Beauty Wear Guarantee! $ WE GIVE S&H a; and maintaining healthy tissues may be lost from the body. At the University of Nebraska the effect of proteins in meals spaced at different intervals was studied. When the daily supply of protein was furnished in only two meals, there was wasteful loss from the body of nitrogen ous substances needed for tissue building. Dividing the same pro teins evenly among three meals restored balance and the losses of essential nitrogen decreased, Dr. King states. . Another study points up this need for timing, and emphasizes besides the selection of calories for the company they keep. At the University of Wisconsin, in vestigators found that the way the amino acids are supplied in the diet affects the way the body uses them. They recommend a ratio of amino acids as they occur in high quality proteins, as in rrieat, fish, poultry, milk, cheese, and other dairy products. Your chances for balancing amino acids are fevored, they say, when animal proteins are supplied with each meal. Bal anced combinations may also be obtained when cereals, veget ables, or fruits are eaten with. animal proteins. Combinations of cereals with milk, meat with beans, or fruit with cheese are examples. -r- When body weight becomes excessive through eating too much and the diet is indiscrim inately selected, calories can be come foes instead of friends. Whether reducing or following another type of balanced diet, make calories your friends by planning meals to include high, quality proteins, fruits, veget ables, and whole grain or en riched breads and cereals, Dr. King emphasizes.
