S iHomemakers Use Versatile Pears For Many Dishes Juicy, creamy-fleshed pears i are favorites with most home- makers because of their versa tility. Everyone knows a ripe, juicy pear makes mighty fine eating. But there are lots of other delicious ways to serve pears. Try using them in salads, desserts, pies, and hot breads such as a breakfast coffee cake. A tempting, easy way to serve pears for dessert is on a dessert cheese tray. Pears and Blue j cheese go together like "ham 'n I eggs." They are perfect flavor mates. Simply arrange fresh pears and crisp crackers on your prettiest tray, and place a wedge of creamy Blue cheese in the center.' Or, if you prefer the milder Blue cheese flavor, make this simple dip: Combine soften ed cream cheese with about 1'3 the amount of Blue cheese and season with salt, paprika and lemon juic. Whip until fluffy and smooth. Another easy pear dessert utilizing Oregon filberts, as well as Oregon pears, is pear filbert torte.

Americans Now Shaping Shapes Says Executive By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York IU.R) Well, it's come to this now America is not only shaping future events throughout the world, it s aiso shaping shapes. "It's really amazing what is happening to women's figures outside this country," said Elo ise English today in a properly amazed voice. "They're going through a transformation be cause of our influence." "The aim everywhere I've visited seems to be what we've come to think of as the American standard - tallness, slimness, a clean attractive appearance." MissEnglish. who is built along pretty clean lines herself, is cur rently co-shepherding a Satur day radio talk show with Galen Drake over CBS. She also dou bles as exective vice-president of a chain of salons which special ize in trimming women down. In her role as an excutive. Miss English travels about 100, 000 miles a year, setting up re ducing salons for roly-polies in such cities as Paris, Rome, Zur ich and Brussels. Hip Problem "There is a hip problem in France," said Miss English, "In fact, I might call it a fabulous one. You know, they go in for small waists they put some thing called waist cinchers on babies to keep 'em small. So it isn't too unusual to see a woman with a 21-inch waist and 39-inch hips. "The German woman, on the other hand, has almost no shape at all. She's stocky, large and is built in more or less of a straight line." Miss English mulled over the German shape with obivious des pair and then launched bravely into the Italian girl. "Bosom conscious. They're just too bosom conscious in Italy." said Miss English. "The whole thing is really getting out of proportion to the point of im propriety. Now Hear This "In general, the Italian woman has the worst shape in Europe. And as vou go farther and far ther south in the country, they get more and more sloppy." Miss English's keen eye gives the Belgian woman slightly better marks "small - rjonea. more rounded than the French women" along with the Swiss "quite beauty conscious in the cities." The English girls fare less well. "Very healthy girls, but no flair, no sense of style," she said. However, said Miss English, everywhere there are signs that diets, exercise and reducing aids are beginning to intrigue gals everywhere. "You know, throughout many areas of the world, men don't care how fat or sloppy their wives got as long as they could continue work. But the influence of the American woman is chang ing all that. Friday, October 5, 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Mosaic-Making Comes Back In Sleepy Italian Village Ravenna ;u.R) Nine men in this sleepy little Italian town are reviving the art that first carried Ravenna's fame to the far corners of the world in cen turies long past. It is the finest of fine arts mosaic-making returning to life in the town that has the most precious Byzantine mosaics this side of the Bosphorus. Art critics throughout western Europe have been unanimous in praising the nine-man "group of mosaic-makers," sponsored by the Ravenna superintendent of monuments. Prof. Giuseppe Bo vini for its flawless reproduc tions of Ravenna's unque ancient mosaics. Museums and private art-lovers buy them up as soon as they are ready, and thousands of for eign tourists come specially to Ravenna to see the originals af ter viewing an exhibition of the copies that have been traveling through Europe for the past five years. How It's Done The group, an offshoot of the 30-year old Ravenna Mosaic school, was set up after the war to restore damaged mosaics in Ravenna's churches After com pleting the restoration work they started making reproductions of the ancient masterpieces and pro ducing mosaics from designs of modern painters. The- nine men are using tiny colored bits of stone (tesserae) . in 5,000 different shades. They follow a technique unparalled in modern times, applyina the tes serae directly on a layer of plas ter that forms the backbone of the mosaic. The method used by other mosaic-makers is to ar range the tesserae upside down on a flat surface which is then overturned on the plaster. The Ravenna system allows the artist to visualize his work as it proceeds and to tear off j and re-do any imperfect part. I Critics say it results in greater liveliness and "vibrations of j colors." Helpful to Scholars I Among works sold to foreign museums or private collectors ; was a copy of the famed mosaic ( of Empress Theodora in the Bas-! ilica of San Vitale, purchased by the art museum of Zurich. Art critics agreed the mosaic reproductions were the only thing that could convey an ade quate idea of the originals. No color photograph can ever render the fantastic glittering of the thousands of tiny slabs on the walls and apses of Ravenna's churches. They are the more val uable to scholars because they permit them a close look at de tails that are hard to see in the originals because they are plac ed too high or in dark corners. But the tourists who came here after seeing the show found Old - fashioned pound cake baked in a turban mold is all the more festive if you coat the but tered mold with sliced or ground almonds before you add the bat ter.

There was the magic of the inferior of the Basilica of San Vitale, which appears to change shape at every step as if the huge pillars were sliding si lently on invisible rails the unreal soft light filtering into the Mausoleum of Galla Placid ia through the transparent ala baster windows the pleasure of wandering through the streets of what looks like a peaceful big village rather than a town, and bumping suddenly into some of the finest masterpieces in the world art history the surprise of passing by train through the countryside and seeing the lone ly Basilica of Sant' Apollinare in Classe emerge suddenly out of a silent pinewood.
