Condition of Teeth

decayed or missing, it may
make quite a difference in the
kinds and amounts of food that
can be eaten.

Although soft or liquid diets
may temporarily ease eating
problems, they don't solve them,
the OSC scientist explains. After

cheese, green and yellow veg

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

Mrs. Kalhryn Diepenbrock, who recently returned to Med-
ford after spending several weeks in her native Germany,
attended the world famous Wagner Music festival while away.
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

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.
Other odd orders are: Dried
mushroons from Poland, gherk

from Portugal, eels from Hol

find the house of Franz Liszt,
Wagner's great staunch supporter.
