SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, May 20. 1956 The young democracy of Indonesia recently held that country's first parliamentary election. Eighty-eight per cent of the eligible voters participated. Yet in the United States, where citizens are prone to boast of their democracy and its accomplishments, the percentage of voters going to the polls on election day is far below this number. In Friday's primary election, only 60.6 per cent of the regis tered Republicans voted; the Democratic party was even lower with 58.1 per cent voting. In the general election of 1952 the total vote for president amounted to 62.7 per cent of the eligible voters, including mem bers of the Armed Torces, according to the World Almanac. And voting isn't the easy matter in Indonesia that it is in this country. In preparation for the first election, over 100 political parties put up candidates. Although only about 25 of these parties survived, even this number would mean a bewildering number of candidates from which to choose. A broadly representative coalition government of democratic parties was finally formed to guide the affairs of the new nation, Indonesian releases report. In the United States there are only a few citizens who must travel any distance to vote, and most of these go to the polls by car. In Indonesia many villagers had to walk long distances through y " Xjr Easy Broiler Meal Calls for Pineapple New York (U.R) Here's an easy broiler meal, one which solves the problem of what to serve unexpected company. Called Pineapple Top Hats, its base is canned lunch meat. Grind one 12-ounce can of lunch meat and combine it with Vi cup of rolled oats, V cup of pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons of catsup, and 1 teaspoon pre' pared mustard. Shape the mixture into 6 pat ties and arrange each on a slice of pineapple. Broil 7 or 8 min utes, or until the meat is brown ed lightly. While the Top Hats are browning on the rack, can ned whole kernel corn and peas can be heating in the broiler pan beneath. Serve a tossed green salad and simple dessert to complete the meal. Master Bedroom Can Do Without Frills Chicago (U.R) One interior decorator says it's time some thing was done about frills in the master bedroom. S. Lee Wolffs complained that "too often the 'Missus' makes the room so feminine and fragile it's 'master' in name only." Wolffs, a member of the Amer ican Institute of Decorators, said choosing the right color scheme has a lot to do with the final appearance of the room. "But none of those baby blues and frothy pinks," he said firmly. jungles or treacherous mountain trails to reach their polling places. The picture above, taken in Indonesia on the first election day, shows women patiently waiting in line; many were forced to take their children with them to the polls. After three and a half centuries of Dutch colonial rule, In donesians, numbering some 80 million, were genuinely enthus iastic over the prospect of being able to make decisions concerning their own fate. Ewan H: M. Cox of Perth, Scotland, thinks Oregonians are wasting a golden opportunity by not using more native plants in their gardens. Mr. Cox and his son, Peter, visited briefly in Med ford last week. The former is a well known botanist and horti culturist and Had already made quite a study of plants in this .region. ' The Siskiyou region is extremely rich in native flora, he pointed out, and said that gardeners should utilize these beautiful flowers and flowering shrubs in their own plantings. When we pointed out that many gardeners attempt to transplant these without success. Marcel LePiniec had something to say. Mr. Le Piniec, a botanist and expert on rock plants, had taken Mr. Cox and his son. into the Siskiyous in order that they might study the flora. He agreed that many gardeners are not expert enough at transplanting native material and said that in other parts of the United States, professional gardeners and nurserymen do this for their customers, seeking out the material in places where it is not forbidden to dig it, potting the plants and later putting them on sale when they are established. Mr. LePiniec, who lectures often for garden clubs in this district, is hopeful that he can work these native plants into his nursery business at some time. The two visitors, Mr. LePiniec and Scotty Fairweather were delighted to report that while wandering around in the hills they had found a specimen of phlox speciosa of a new shade of pink which Mr. LePinice thinks has not been classified before. He reported that the phlox, a soft flesh pink growing from 8 to 12 inches high, would make an excellent garden plant. He and Scotty promptly named the variety "Coxii" in honor of the two visitors and christened it with a sprinkle from a Coke bottle. O.S. ORANGE JUICE TIP New York (U.R) Keep orange juice tightly sealed in the refrigerator to prevent loss of vitamin C. Unopened cans of frozen concentrate should be kept frozen, home economists say. Unopened cans of canned juice of concentrate can be stored as any other canned goods. Soft Bread Crumbs Milwaukee (U.R)' A bread crumb-topped casserole dish is improved if soft bread crumbs from fresh bread and a gener ous amount of grated parmesan cheese are used. The homemak er can keep this trick up her sleeve for breading fish, chick en or veal. ANOTHER READY-TO-BAKE Minneapolis (U.R) Add to the list of frozen, ready-to-bake prod ucts on the market: caramel nut rolls, which come packaged much like the frozen, ready-to- bake biscuits. These come with the eight individual pieces of fresh dough and the caramel and chopped nut mixture ready for the topping. . ... : f JKsf -fsS" Wf - , ''' ' i v ., -- if - " ""' J 4 0 t-111 - The 1956 Maid of Cotton, lovelr Pat Cowden of Raleigh, IN'.C, would decorate anr party in this glam orous date dress designed by Ceil Chapman.
