Although soft or liquid diets may temporarily ease eating problems, they don't solve them, the OSC scientist explains. After the mouth has been restored to normal chewing capacity, adequ ate amounts of these basic foods should make up the diet: milk, butter or butter substitutes, cheese, green and yellow veg etables, meat, fish, eggs, fruits, tomatoes, whole grain cereals and bread. These foods are good for both oldsters and youngsters, she emphasizes. . According to Dr. Tank, the best cure for mouth difficulties is a visit to the dentist. She says any man or woman up to 100 years of age can have teeth or dentures that allow for prop er chewing. Bring Christmas.

Mrs. Diepenbrock, who teaches piano, found older Germans distressed over the popularity of jazz among German youth. Older Germans Distressed Over Jazz, Teacher Reports Many Germans are distressed over the "jazz craze' which is I sweeping their nation according i to Mrs. Kathryn Diepenbrock, Medford musician, who returned home recently after visiting her homeland for the first time in 34 years. Mrs. Diepenbrock found that the beautiful folk songs and colorful native dances ; are seldom heard and seen any i more, although in some sections there is an effort to revive them. En route to attend the famous Wagner Festival plays at Bay reuth, Mrs. Diepenbrock and her companions had to travel through the Russian controlled East German territory for a time. She learned that farm land is all government controlled, and that the farmer must pro duce a certain amount of grain, potatoes, eggs, et cetera, for the state before he can sell any on his own account. Continuing her account of the trip the music teacher wrote: "Traveling on, we stopped at a wayside restaurant for lunch, heard the first jazz music, and soon there was more to come. This jazz music with its typical rhythm doesn't fit at all into these sections of Germany. Ger man folk songs would be better and more in keeping with what the travelers saw. We passed through peaceful hamlets and villages, everything pointed to hard working people who still took pride in what once was their home. We traveled on enjoying the beautiful "a u t o b a h n," that splendid highway which travers es Germany in all directions, and which makes it possible, like our great highways, to cover great distances in shorter time. Only I'd like to call the auto bahn a miniature reproduction of our beautiful, much more spaci ous and expensive roads. But is excellently planned and splen did to travel on. In the early afternoon we came closer and closer to Bay reuth, the seat of the Wagner Festival plays at the famous Fes tival Playhouse. But, before we reached Bayreuth we traversed some of the beautiful valleys and hills of the Steinach, a wild picturesque mountain stream which attracted not only vaca tioners and visitors from all over but also hundreds- of refugees from Czechoslovakia, who were known the world over for their art of glassblowing. They were taken in with open hearts, homes were erected for them mostly substantially built, two family stone houses, each one with a small garden adjoining. They erected their own fac tories, mostly solidly constructed of brick and stone, even pro duced their own gas for the pro duction of their many different glass objects, precious cut glass, lenses for photographic appa ratus, pressed glass of all sorts, electric light bulbs, et cetera. These artists are again sending their famous products ail over the world, are a great asset to the community. Visits Glas-Hulte I visited a "glas-hutte" at Warmenstemach where I spent five weeks in this beautiful country. I enjoyed the very friendly hospitality of my Ba varian hosts and took a lot of interesting pictures of land and people. I also had to listen to the complaints of many nice folks who are distressed over the jazz craze among their young people. You seldom hear them sing their old beautiful folk songs or see them dance their picturesque colorful folk dances. Strange enough, these young people do not make much of a success of either their jazz songs nor of their modern way of dancing. Cicero has said among his writings of long ago: What ever is most natural is most be coming to us. There are places in southern Germany where the art of folk singing and folk dancing are being revived. I for got to mention that the glass blowers who have settled in this part of Bavaria are known as the "glablonzers. How did Richard Wagner hap pen to choose Bayreuth for the seat of his Festspielhaus? When the elders of Bayreuth offered Wagner the land on which the opera house stands, Wagner prac tically cried out: Nowhere else, but only here! It was erected in a very unpretentious, practical manner, according to the Ger man character. It grows from within. This very simple man ner of construction was respon sible for the marvellous acous tics of the auditorium which seats 1800 persons. Wagner saw that his Festspielhaus is not to be a piece of art of a beautiful nation, but should express spirit of all people, beyond the limitations of nationality. And as such it appeared to the writer who herself is a great music lover, when she had the privilege of experiencing the perform ance of two operas "Parsifal" and "The Flying Dutchman." Setting Described In "The Flying Dutchman" Wagner took a big step from grand opera to a music drama. Wolfgang Wagner did all the stage settings and displayed much of the spirit and genius of his father, Siegfried Wagner and Winifred, Siegfrieds wife. I must not forget io mention that Frau Winifred Wagner was re sponsible for my great fortune to be able to hear and enjoy this performance, for she held two tickets which had been re turned by guests, and passed them on to me. It was a glorious performance a great song fes tival, as one music critic called it in one of the important daily papers. I could not quite ap prove of some of Wolfgang Wag ner's ultra modern and often fantastic stage settings: neither could some of the music critics, but it remains to be seen in these next five years whether it will satisfy the public. The mus ic, under Joseph Keiloerth's leadership, was superb. I met both him and Wieland Wagner in person and took their pic tures. During the 13 years of 1929-42, "The Flying Dutchman" had the highest number of per formances of Wagner's works on the German stage: 3124. The opera "Parsifal" was under the leadership of Hans Knapperts busch, who did a most beautiful piece of work. It was Wieland Wagner who created all the scenery for this great, deep op era. Both Wolfgang and Wieland Wagner, grandsons of the great composer have joined hands and look forward to the next five years In which there will be more growth and elastic deve lopment. It was this sensation Sunday, November 25. 1958 MEDFORD (OREGOV) VAIL TgIBUV-4flTSif Olympic Games Bring Imports Of Special Food Melbourne . Five hundred tons of special food, for the kitchens at the Olympic Village, is being imported into Mel bourne, Australia. The importing agent's fan tastic grocery order is causing many headaches and surprises. Italy has been asked to supply 100 cases of canned tomatoes, as only 200 cases could be se cured locally. In case of vegetable shortages, seven tons of peas and five tons of beans were fresh-frozen and stored, with two tons of kan garoo tails and haunches from Western Australia. The Chinese list contains some unusual items 80 dozen preserved duck eggs, four cases of Chinese gin, 30 lbs. of dry fungus, 15 lbs. dried mandarin skin, all from Hong Kong. The Chinese kitchen at the Village also wants a ton of chicken, a ton of ducks, 600 lbs. of cray fish without heads, 1080 lbs. of prawns without heads and 720 lbs. with heads. Oysters will total 1080 dozen. Fish will be eaten by a large number of athletes and officials, and 30.000 lbs. have been order ed. This includes three tons of Tasmanian scallops. Bream will come from Eng land, fish sticks from Norway, hake from South Africa, smoked salmon from Germany and sprats in oil from Sweden for the Rus sians. . The Canadians get their own maple syrup, and 420 les. of cranberry jelly has been pro vided for the American sauce. Special pancake flour is being imported from America.
