O AWARD WINNING ICE Manufactured Dinners Supplant Mom's Cooking Ames, Iowa UR) Wives and husbands have been argu ing about the worth of "Mom's cooking" for years, but in gen erations to come there may be little of it left. For example, one third of the orange juice used in the coun try is ready-made, one third of the coffee is of the "instant" variety, and whole dinners come ready to heat and serve. U. S. agriculture researchers said housewives, especially those who work at a regular job be sides, have given frozen and "al most ready to serve foods" their complete endorsement. They point out the sales of frozen, precooked fish stick rose from 7.3 million pounds to 44 "million pounds during the year 1953-54. Now, entire exotic dinners from China, Italy. Mexico, and France and other countries can be had merely for the purchase price. And no preparation time. Experts say the "manufactur ed" dinner is here to stay. Doctors now recommend a good and relaxing hobby to jolt patients out of the blues. A wide variety of hobby books can be obtained at the Medford Public library. 5 PLAYING Save the Coupons on the inner flap from Snider's Ice Cream to exchange for complimentary decks of beautiful playing cards.

C&EAMS 'Lodge Plans Ceremonia In Medford A district ceremonial will be held in Medford Saturday, June 1, by Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan. First plans for the event were made at a meeting of the DOKK held in Roseburg March 2. Temples from Portland. Eu gene, Medford and Eureka, Calif., will take part in the cere monial. Planned are a parade and competitive drills. A queen will be chosen from candidates named by each temple, and will reign over the festivities with the remaining contestants as her court. Committees for the year were named at the Roseburg meeting. Hugh Welsh, Grants Pass, grand chancellor of Knights of Pythias for Oregon, was appointed chair man of the lodge's spastic reliei program. A planning board was set up to guide general activities for Fuhat Burkan temple. On the committee are Earl Wilshire, Roseburg; Ray Newman. Grants Pass; Carl Fichtncr, Medford and Lynn Skillington, Klamath Falls. Plans were also made to par ticipate in the dedication of a new hospital in Roseburg in May. Lute Patterson, Roseburg was given the title of royal zouave. Ed High, Roseburg, presented Chancellor Welsh with a gavel hand made from weeping wil low root. Next meeting of the temple will be in Grants Pass April 6. Following the Roseburg meet ing a smorgasbord was served by Umpqua santha, Nomads of Avrudaka. Tom Davidson, Medford, is royal vizier of the local tem ple. Frances Hibbard, Medford, is the new secretary and Joe W. Fritsch, Medford, is chair man of publicity and entertain ment. Each city of the temple area has its own DOKK club, and Medford is in the process of formation of such a group. Talisman lodge. Knights of Pythias, will confer the rank of knight at a meeting set for Mon day in the Pythian building at 8 p.m. Neighboring lodges will assist in the ceremonies. Re freshments and a social hour will follow the meeting and visiting knights are welcome to attend.

CARDS i c, tarn Potpourri On Potpourri's desk (which is so cluttered that no less than three men remarked about it Friday) we have a folder in which we keep notes and reminders for this colmn. Whenever staring at the typewriter keys fails to start our fingers to working, we browse through the folder. Right on top Friday night was a clipping which told how a Marine corps court martial had cleared a drill sergeant of the "Charges that he nad forced a recruit to stuff himself with candy until he choked." This reminded Potpourri of a certain Medford woman who came into the Tribune office three or four years ago to give us a story about her son, who had just completed his in doctrination training in the Marine Corps. The woman was troubled and worried. In a burst of confi dence she told how her son, who had a "best girl" in Medford, had been forced to stand in the corner of a room, before an assem blage of fellow marines, and eat an entire box of cookies which the girl had made and sent him. But this, she added was the least of the story. The mother said her son's letters from home had been withheld from him un til his superiors gave orders that he might have them, and that he had not been allowed to receive his home town newspaper. But what worried her most of all was that although the boy had complained bitterly of this treatment as unnecessary and un fair while the training period was underway, afterwards, when he had been thoroughly indoctrinated with the spirit and traditions of the corps, he concluded that such procedures were necessary to toughen the new recruits and wean them thoroughly away from their old lives. Archduke Otto of Austria, who talked for Knife and Fork club Monday night, was one of the most earnest speakers we've heard in a long time. So anxious was he to get everything said, that he did not dally around with pleasantries at the opening of his speech, as do most after dinner lecturers, but thanked Presi dent Neil Davidson politely and briefly and then immediately plunged into his talk. He spoke rapidly and from time to time glanced at his watch as if fearful that time would run out for him before he had finished. Potpourri found his talk intensely interesting, although we disagreed with him in believing that Russia is so hard-pressed and in such a state that she will "crumble away" if the Western nations just stand firm and maybe make a few threatening gest ures. Many members who attended the after-dinner party at the home of the Rease Braleys admitted to the Archduke that they were astounded by his talk that Secretary General Dag Ham merskjold of the United Nations is too friendly toward Russia and her representatives in the UN. Archduke Otto insisted that such talk is common in Europe but had no reason to offer why mention of this has not been found in the press, either In writ ings from Europe or by United States journalists. Those who travel in many lands must worry, at least a little, about mixing up customs and causing embarrassments. Archduke Otto, charming, friendly and with impeccable manners (he is the heir to the Austrian throne, should that country again become a monarchy) sometimes hesitates when an American woman puts forward a friendly .hand to be shaken. And when another vis itor in Medford was introduced to the Archduke, he bowed slight ly and brought his heels together, a gesture which the Hapsburg from Austria acknowledged. The second man, you see, spent sev eral years in foreign countries as a representative of the U. S. State Department in the course to greet royalty and other persons At the party the Archduke about Egypt's Nasser. When he the Archduke said he found Nasser very unpopular; said his pic tures and proclamations were speedily torn down from walls, and that when he made an appearance, he was greeted with a hostile silence. "Nasser is a small man," he said. "He is small in stature, mind and in spirit." However, Archduke Otto admitted that he is known to be completely honest and invulnerable to bribes, a trait which baffles both his friends and his opponents, it seems. Archduke Otto predicted that Nasser's leadership will soon wane. He believes that the difference between the Arabs and the Israeils are not as insurmountable as they are made to seem, and said that if only the middle East countries could be encouraged to trade with one another, they would soon solve their problems to the benefit of all concerned. Recent news releases from New York said that Ed Sullivan has terminated his contract with the Metropolitan Opera company. Rcnata Tebaldi and Richard Tucker are to sing on his program tonight, the fourth appearnace of opera stars on the Sullivan show this season, but the fifth appearance has been canceled by mu tual consent. Seems Rudolph Bing, general manager of the Met, squirmed when his stars were put on the same program with ventriloquists and trained dogs, and Sullivan found that the show's rating drop ped every time he booked opera. Which doesn't prove that opera doesn't flourish in the United States. Our column clipping file came up with these figures from the Central Opera Service of the Metropolitan Opera's National council. On an annual average, there are nine opera performances in the United States every day. The annual total was 3,217 per formances by 544 groups, professional, student and amateur, in 47 states. In the two years ending in 1956, 210 different operas were heard in the United States. Only 65 were standard repertoire the remainder were by contemporary American and European composers. Some 80-odd opera-producing organizations through out the country were represented at the council's meeting. So there, Mr. Sullivan. And while we're on the subject of TV, a Denver Post article says Alfred Hitchcock has signed a new contract with his sponsor for a continuance of his program throughout 1958. He is said to have concluded the transaction thusly: "With all humility I prom ise to continue to extol the merits of your toothpaste, headache tablets, hair tonic and deodorant, snowing proper reverence at all times." i Filings: From the Cleveland Plain Dealer's society columns "The sleeveless bodice was finished in a high neck and her bouffant i skirt was flood length." From the Buffalo Evening News "Beard- ed lace cutouts were appliqued on the square neckline of the I bride's gown." O.S. List of Possessions Should Be Made By Every Householder Ames, Iowa (U.R) Can you name everything of value in your home. Probably not, but it would be a good idea if you at least had 1 a list of all the articles in the ' house, says Marie Budolfson, of Iowa State College's home man agement department. A list of possessions could prove invaluable in case a home is destroyed by fire. And once the list is compiled, it doesn't take long to keep it up to date each year, she said. The list, naming each article, the time of purchase and the original price, will help to es tablish proof of loss in case some disaster strikes. The list, according to Miss Bu dolfson, should contain every thing from the pictures on the walls to the linens in the closet. The list kept in a safety deposit box, or other safe spot.

Future Homes May Resemble Balloons Architect Declares Boston (U.R) The house of the future may somewhat re semble a balloon, according to architect Royal Barry Wells. Wells, who has produced more than 2,000 house designs for Americans and Canadians, said plastic is becoming more popular with home builders. Bathrooms, kitchen cabinets, floors and windows will be pre molded. He also predicted big ger kitchens and bathrooms, more storage space and less glass. Plastics, he said, will be used throughout the home, built in a domelike or balloon structure. "The clinical appearance is gone," Wells said, "and I hope forever."

FAST SEIVICE All Work Den In Our Own Shoa The ACORN PRESS 231 No. Bartlett Dial 2-4250 Sunday, March 10, 1957 Fraternity Chapter Members Plan European By MARY LU McDONALD United Press Correspondent Pullman, Wash. (U.R) One lucky woman on the Washing ton State college campus has been planning since Christmas for her first trip to Sweden this summer a gift from the fra ternity men for whom she has cooked the last 25 years. For Mrs. Hulda Bergquist, cook at the Beta Theta Pi house, the trip will be the fulfillment of a lifetime desire to "meet my folks' people." She'll visit friends and relatives, most of whom she's never seen, and see the places her parents so often have told her about. She'll travel first-class, too, leaving New York July 2, on the Swedish-American liner Stock holm. Beta alumni all along the way are making plans to wine and dine her when she passes through their areas. "Berk," as she is known to the Betas, also will take with her a new set of luggage, several new outfits bought with gift money from alumni, and several hundred dollars spending money all given her by the Betas. Speaks Swedish Almost every day she adds an other item to her "see-and-do" list. "I especially want to see the capitol building at Stockholm," she said. "But first I think I'll visit relatives and friends. I can remember so many places and people my folks mentioned and I want to try and see as many as I can." "And just think! It took my mother three weeks to reach America, and I'll be going over in less than a week!" Born at Nine Mile Falls, Wash., 62 years ago of parents who migrated from Sweden, Hulda grew up speaking Swedish and is sure she'll have no trouble telling her relatives. about the United States and about her "boys."

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUHE SEVEN Tour for Cook Hulda probably won't men tion the countless items she has made and given the Betas rugs, quilts, even shirts; or the gifts she has given them such as copper trays, linen table cloths, or silver pitchers. Or the socks she has darned, the buttons sewn on, the late snacks she has fixed. 'When I notice that the boys really need something, I try to give it to them," she said. Big Response She occasionally practices speaking Swedish, along with her Swedish cooking, at the house, and delights in conversing with Betas Dick Russ and Otto Coucheron from Norway. The Betas learned last spring of their cook's desire to travel to Sweden and wrote hundreds of letters to alumni throughout the world. The response they got more than met their expecta tions. Old grads from Berlin to Hawaii contributed $1,000; the local chapter added $250 and the Spokane, Wash., alumni group gave another $200. Berk was "discovered" by two Betas when she was cooking at a Spokane golf club and was hired by the franternity house manager who gives himself credit for haviitg "unusual in tuition" that September, 1931. She took her daughter, Beulah along and reared her in the chapter house. Beulah later at tended an Oregogn academy and how is married to an Oregogn school teacher. During the summer, Hulda us ually cooks at a lodge on a Mon tana lake. But not this summer . . . come July and she will be on her way to Sweden to see and do things she's been dreaming of for quite awhile.
