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,

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

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.
