TWO MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Dr. Ida Bailey Allan, ona of ihis nation's best known per sonalities in the iield of foods, was presented a basket of fa mous Rogue River valley pears when she arrived at the Med ford airport Sunday evening. The pears were presented by John Snider, city councilman who represented Mayor Earl Miller, while Harold Holmes, president of the Roque River Valley Traffic association (center) and Chef Charles Premmac look on. Chef Premmac. of French ancestry, works with Dr. Allen on her radio and television programs as a singing chef, and was for two years master of ceremonies and star of the CBS program "Evening in Paris." Dr. Allen, who has written 49 books on food, is the author of a syndicated food column which has a reader potential of many millions. (Landis-Shangle photo) Americans Undernourished, Noted Dietitian Declares Americans as a nation are un dernourished, according to Dr Ida Bailey Allen, noted cook, nutrition authority and author who left for Portland last night after a one-day visit in Medford. The people of the United States consume an ""empty calorie diet, she declared, eating far too much sugar, starch and animal fats and starving themselves on such nutrition essentials as pro tein and minerals. Or. Allen is one of this coun try's best known authorities on food, nutrition and diet. She has published 49 popular books on food, cooking and homemaking, is a former food editor of Good Housekeeping, the Family Cir cle and Parade; has starred in thousands of broadcasts on ma jor networks, makes movies on food, appears on television and writes a syndicated column which has a reader potential in millions. Dr. Allen and her associate and co-editor, Charles Premmac, were honored at a dinner given by Mrs. Julie Tummers of Mon Desir inn Sunday night shortly after their arrival, visited Harry and David's Bear Creek plant yesterday morning and at noon were guests at a luncheon at the Medford hotel by the Rogue Riv er Valley Traffic association at noon. The guest dietician talked briefly for the group at lunch eon, saying that almost every one in the United States needs to consume more proteins in the form of meat, protein vege tables,, fish, eggs and cheese, to drink more milk and to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. She pointed out that per capita con sumption of fresh fruits and vegetables has not kept pace with the population and said that most persons could improve their health by eating more fresh fruits and vegetables and consuming fewer laxatives and vitamin pills. Homemakers and teen-agers are the poorest nour ished of all. Dr. Allen declared. "We literally are 'what , we eat' " she stressed and added "You can't be any more health ful than the balance of what you eat. We're spending more for food, and buying more empty calories." Dr. Allen works with the American Medical association, and has written many articles for the association's publication. She has written one on freak diets for AMA, and next spring will prepare another on the use of fresh fruits and vegetables. The visitor said new methods f J 2 CON CARNf J I IWS (With seanS J not too hot... not too bland I Slow-simmered for just-right home-kitchen flavor .-.L r 1 !

This de mand is being met by the so called "convenience packages" and other devices, she said, and added that "built in" food serv ices cost a family of four about $7 a week. Dr. Allen also has a theory that the way motorists eat af fects their method of driving and said food should be consid ered a safety factor in traveling. She believes that consumption of large meals heavy with starches and sugars promotes drowiness and "highway hypnosis." Dr. Allen and Chef Premmac are on a seven week's tour of the west coast states in the inter est of the United Fresh Food and Vegetable association. Chef Premmac, who co-stars with Dr. Allen on radio and television shows as a "singing chef" and who aids her in collecting reci pes and information on food, spoke about the history of pears. Pointing out that many pears originated in France, he gave the original names and their meaning in French. Wives of" men in the pear in dustry who were guests at the luncheon contributed recipes which use pears, and short cut food tips. Russ Jamison of the traffic association presided and introduced the two visitors. The two visitors appeared on Station KBES-TV with Gretchen Wade Monday afternoon, and left for Portland last evening by air. Cupcakes travel well . in lunches. Favorites with the school crowd are chocolate cup cakes with a cream cheese-Dow- dered sugar frosting, and a gen erous sprinkling of chopped wal nuts. Do your CLOTHES FADE?
