TWO MEDFOHD (OHEGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Traveler Leaves To Arrive Home (Mn I E. RVhtilfr. .Mrftord trav fvpral ett in Europe and is nw n hr la&t fw dav in the Italian capital, (on Ui September.) Rome The Roman holiday is ended, and I felt like Graham McNamara, who, in his trave logues, so often has regretted mcllifulously, that "we must leave this land of enchantment. Yc'erday I went to the Trevi fountain to throw in the coin wl ich will insure my return to Rome. I trudged from there through my favorite narrow. crooked streets up to see a last view from the stone benches on piazza Venezia. I tramped on up to my favorite ruins on Palatine hill. In the afternoon, a friend took me to see, for the last time, the late summer sun on the glorious fountain sprays at Tivoli, and the afterglow through the arches of Hadrian's villa. An then, in the enchantment of evening on the Via Veneto, we sat at Doney's for one last drink of expresso coffee. There it was that we reached the peak of thrills of the day the jackpot the apogee of won ders. Across from us sat David Niven and handsome, gray-haired Stewart Granger. The two of them were almost too much to take at one time. I thought my young friends (one from Israel and one from Caracas) were going to faint from such unexpected good luck. And it did seem, even to the older girl, more exciting than when we had seen Katharine Hepburn, in characteristic eager pose, in the self-same place. It was even more so than seeing Anna Magnani and Tennessee Williams, strolling arm in arm down the avenue between the cafe tables Anna looking her Tattoo Rose, unpolished and scraggly-haired forty-year self. She was wearing a red silk, neither long nor short, accordion plaited dress. Not so fat (not fat at all, in fact) but with the Italian girl's lush, undulating walk which accentuates the lit tle waist. Almost any day at Doney's you may see familiar, glamorous faces. That was aj,l yesterday. Now, It is lovely afternoon, some where between Rome and Flor . ence. This js the grape country. The bunches of fruit hang in heavy, graceful festoons from one vine to another, all up and down the country sides, inter spersed with rich dome-like hay stacks. Little railway stations are clean and pretty with their numerous flower beds and oc casional fountains. It is so quiet when we stop that I can hear katydids and crickets. And, after a harrowing de parture from Rome. I am appre ciating the calm. We had arrived in plenty of time at the station this morning. Although there was a curious quiet, and people were meandering instead of rushing, we somehow didn't realize anything was wrong. We called a porter for the lusgace and he said "No treno oggi." No train today. Then we remem bered the threatened strike. I experienced mixed emotions. I could stay loncer in Rome, but gone would be my difficult to get reservations and berth. I checked my luggage and we sat down on the platform terrace for a cup of coffee to discuss the emergency. About five minutes later from one of the loud speakers came a spurt of Italian, the only word of which I understood was NO DIET NO DRUGS REDUCE your hips and tummy RELAX-A-CIZOR is the HOME method that takes off inches while you rest, relax. Use on hips, tummy, waist, thighs . . . wherever vou want to reduce in size. Muscles get tighter, firmer; thus you look younger, prettier, more ioveable. NO SAGGING SKIN Makes musclas and contours of hips, waist, tummy, arms, thighs, firmer, younger look ing. No sagging skin like dieting. You really do become firmer, tighter ond trimmer. Fasferl Easier! HEALTHFUl SAFE This is the safe, easy way to slenderize just where you want. Why risk diet or drugs that may iniure your health? Let us pio-e AT NO COST . TO YOU that you con LOSE INCHES just where you want this wonderful, healthful new EASY way. Try it Free! Rome; This Fall ler. left Home rerentlv after ipendim mate home. lr. Srhuler here recounl . Mrs. scnuler expects to arrive in urc "Milano." But that rang a men tal bell. I would be going through Milano to Copenhagen. I jumped and ran as fast as I could down the' endless terrace to track 9. One thing I have learned thoroughly in Italy trains come when they say they are going to. and leave on split second schedule. I jumped into a compartment, sent a porter for the luggage: there was a tiny whistle, and off we went. I never did see my friends to say good-bye. A friendly soldier has explain ed it. As he didn't speak Eng lish, we conversed in German, interspersed on my part with a word or so of Spanish and Italian, and plenty of gestures. From him I learned that there really are "no trains oggi." This one is going because it is an international train, and it is run by the military police as far as the Italian border. I get cold all over thinking how nearly I missed it. One thing in Italy I don't seem to have learned but should have from numerous ex periences. It is that although the Italians are lovable, kindly and eager to help one, they give out the most inaccurate directions in the world. If I had taken that porter's word, literally, I would still be in Rome. Rome will be host for the 1960 Olympic games, the first time in 2000 years. The Olym pic games, according to tradi tion, Hercules established with the Gods themselves as partici pants. With historic Rome as a back drop, and monuments such as the Colosseum and Circus Maxi mus to be revived, it should really be a heyday. Mussolini had already built a large exhibition grounds with a stadium which will hold 100,000 people, and had beauti fied a great area with parks, statues and fountains. Besides these, the Italians plan to build new tennis courts with 10,000 seating capacity. The rowing and canoe races will be at the Pope's summer resi dence, on an extinct volcanic crater lake. Sailing races will take place in Naples. It is planned to build Olym pic villages on either side of the Tiber, for the participants, with villas for the women, dormitories for men. As to the exact date in the summer, there is a question. In August, everyone who lives in Rome and can possibly leave on holiday docs so because of the heat. The organizers think that would be an excellent time for the games when people are away sometime about August 15 to September 4. Return Mr. and Mrs. John B. Lynch have returned to their home on Kenwood avenue after a vaca tion trip south. The family visit ed Mr. Lynch's mother in Pasa dena, and later were with friends in Long Beach and Can oga Park. En route south they were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Le Roy Buenze, former residents of Medford now living iff Rich mond, Calif. While in Los Angeles the travelers spent a day at Disney land.

The greater the turnover of frozen foods in a home freezer, the more economical its opera tion will be on a per-pound basis. One of the fixed costs obviously is electricity to maintain a zero degree temperature and this cost continues whether the freezer is nearly empty or full. Econo mists say that it costs twice as much per pound to store 360 pounds in a home freezer than using 900 pounds of food from the same freezer. AIRLINES NEED MEN and WOMEN W need Res t ration ists.
