EIGHT MEDFOBD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. March 17. 1957 Acceptance Slow For New Products Survey Indicates Corvallis Frozen orange juice, package mixes and other new food products hold their own in households once they gain a place, but they haven't yet replaced favorite standbys, sayt Miss Zelma Reigle, Oregon State college food marketing specialist. Food purchases made by more than 6,000 familiei were tabu lated for one week in a recent U.S. department of agriculture survey. Results indicate that it took some time for new food products to gain wide-spread ac ceptance, even if the products seem to cut time and work for the homemaker. Convenience items such as bread, ice cream, frankfurters lunch meats, soups and jams that had been on the market for some time received widest use in the survey. Breed was purchased by almost ell the families during the weeft thsv were interviewed Ice crem was purchased by more then half the families and canned soup, jellies and jams by about half the families. Newer convenience foods took longer to ait stead in the fam O ilv food center. Frozen vege tables and frozen concentrated fruit juices fared best, being used by about one-third of the f.Vtiilies interviewed; instant cof fee and cake mixes by about one- fifth of the families; frozen fruits by about one-tenth. Nonfat dry milk was used by only 6 per cent of the families. Reasons behind acceptance patterns are explained to some v extent, says Miss Reigle, in the tendency people have to stick to old food habits. Price and availability may also make a difference in the rate of accept ance of new easy-to-serve items. Upper income families made greater use of convenience foods than lower income families in the survey, as did city families compared to farm. But all groups used some of both new and old products.

Methodist women at tending a recent conference of the Board of Missions of that church in Buck Hills Falls, Pa., heard a speaker say he doubted that it is and add that "this country is one of the world's great mission fields." - Dr. W. Vernon Middleton of Philadelphia, general secretary of the Methodist church' Division of National Missions, was the speaker. "Despite a rise in church membership and renewed inter est in religion," Dr. Middleton said, "there are too many hard facts which say that America is not yet a Christian nation. Consider the rise in juvenile delinquency, the increased use of drugs and alcohol, the excessive emphasis on sex These aspects of Jiuman conduct produce the soil in which flou-ish the non-Christian attitudes and actions." Also in the field of religion is the furor caused by the dismissal of a science professor trom George Washington university because he is an atheist. In the March ii-sue of the Christian Register, two different ministers were quoted as to their views about the roles and rights of agnostics and atheists. , A Powell Davies widely known minister of All Souls church in Washington. D.C., .spoke out strongly against the idea behind the professor s dismissa,. Declaring that many ministers would disagree ...;.v. 4i io,it'. nr-cont ho said. "A minister might wonder just what had happened to his God that made him so dependent upon the guardiansnn of tne president ui v.6; ..niveitv." He also wrote. "A Protestant minister, therefore, may very weil uphold the right of an atheist to teach In a university. If he fails to do so, he is denying tne sen-same i"iih "t-"" """-n hi. frf-orfnm i hj.

It was interesting to re,-d 'hat when the early Christians were thrown to the lions in Roman arenas the cry of the crowd was "Awav with the atheists." since this was what they were in the believers of that day. Dr. Davies concludes that 'every institution of higher learning should, if possible, have one or two atheists on its faculty if only tr. keen the theists stenDinc lively". His closing words are, i'What kind of God could He be who needed security measures to protect Him? It is apostasy, all of it Ana in a very deep sense, blasphemy. For God lives in the open mind, in the power of its thought, the voice of its truth, the inner impulse of its honesty. He needs no protection. No shelter. No defenses. Just give mm room. At least three actors who have played in the Oregon Shake spearean festival in recent years are in New York now. This infor mation was gleaned from a long overdue letter from the soiaier s wife who iirnip nf voinit William Ball in a Denormance oi a Christopher Frv Dlav. "The Lady's Not for Burning" in the Car negie Hall Playhouse. The incident came about by chance, since she and the soldier just happened to see the actor's name on a Playhouse poster. Bill B. provided the two of them with complimentary tickets, and they returned for the evening performance. She wrote "Bill had given us very good seats in a theater about the size of the old Lithia. The play was very interesting. All the actors were good, but somehow, the plav didn't blend. They seemed to be pulling in all different directions. I did not care for the male lead Henry Brandon. Margaret Phillips has a very interesting voice, and presents a striking appearance on stage, but at times she looked like she was posing for a Hollywood cheesecake photo. "Bill played the part of Nicholas Devise, and seemed to be trying to lift the play a.l by himself. He was good, but the leaden atmosphere seemed to drag him down. "He said that George (Peppard) has spent a year, or two at the Actors' Studio and has improved tremendously. He also said that Joan Kugell is rehearsing in a one-act play mornings at the theater. Mike Kasdan is here, too." "We had dinner witn Aunt Muriel and Uncle Henry in their apartment, which was most enioyable. Uncle Henry is very inter esting to listen to, as ycu might know and expect. He has a deep slow voice, a good sense of humor and knows a tremendous amount about many things. He was telling us that Protestants are a definite minority in New York City, which is something I had never thought about in those terms. There are about 2V4 million Jews in the city, 40 per cent of the population is Catholic and most of the rest are Protestants (Potpourri recently read that there are more Jews in New York City than in all Israel.) "He told us that once he was asked to give an address in a synagogue and arrived wearing a gray hat, not knowing that men are required to wear black hats in a synagogue. The rabbi offered him his choice of a black skullcap or a black hat, and he chose the black hat. Aunt Muriel sa:d she got the surprise of her life when she saw him sitting upon the p'atform wearing a black hat when he had left home wearing one of a different color." Potpourri received an interesting letter last week from Gene vieve (Mrs. J. Albert) McCorkle, former Medford resident now living in Mount Shasta. CUif Mrs. McCorkle wrote that she does a column for a couple of county papers, and a radio program. Mrs. McLorkle added that " e still have snow on our terraces, and my urge to plant seeds must wait some time. Our seasons are so very short." She also twitted us, in a friendly way. about a recent mishan in a wedding story in The Mail Tribune one which we didn't quote last week along with those from an eastern naner The paragraph, which brought red faces to the proof readers and groans irom ye society editor, read: "The church was decorated witn matenmg shoes and hat and a corsage of white roses and carnations." We also didn't write about the time, not long ago, when we tried to print a prize-winning recipe The first time a une was ictt out, so we tent it down for a second insertion Thi time a line was also left out a different one. Don't hasten to criticize us for not having any native Irish on our picture page today. The only two honest-to-goodness native Irishmen we knew refused to pose. But those of Irish ancestry graciously consented, and welcomed Photographer Bob Vroman and Potpourri into tneir homes. We often gather interesting information which can't be crowded onto the picture page. For instance, Pat Graham confessed that he was born on "Terror's Hill" in Kansas City, and spelled it out when we thought he hnc5 said "Tara's Hill." Mrs. Graham the former Doris Russell, is .-. native of Grants Pass, her parents being the Joe Russells of that town. Both the Grahams are of Irish an cestry, and they are pruud of their children, three sons all in service, and a daughter attending school in Klamath Falls Mrs Graham paints as a hobby. " ' Irean Grigsby beckoned us irom the other side of busy Central avenue last week and when we had scuttled across at the alley and were within speaking d-stanre she said "I couldn't jaywalk like that I'm on the safety council." O.S. Federal Assistance Sought To Fight Child Delinquency Washington A proposed bill to carry out the President's rec ommendations for federal assist ance to help combat juvenile de linquency has been sent to Con gress Dy ie .Department, or Health, Education and Welfare. The bill would authorize a five-year program of federal grants to states for strengthen ing state and local programs to control juvenile delinquency. It also would authorize grants for demonstrations and studies, and for training of personnel in this field. For the first year's operation in fiscal year 1958, the bill would authorize an appropria tion of $3 million. For each of the four succeeding fiscal years, it would authorize appropria tions of up to S9 million. Similar legislation was rec ommended by the President in 1955 and 1956. In submitting new draft legis lation to Congress, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Marion B. Folsom said: "We con tinue to regard this legislation as having a high priority." Cases Increase In the period 1948 to 1956. Mr. Folsom said, the number of cases in juvenile courts increased 70 per cent, whereas the number of children 10 through 17 years of age increased only 16 per cent. For the grants to states, the proposed legislation would au tnonze an appropriation of $2 million for the next fiscal year and up to $5 million annually tor the ensuing four years. Allotment of these grants would be made on the basis of the child population of the states, but no state would re ceive less than 530,000. The fed eral funds would be matched by state funds ranging from one third to two-thirds of total state and federal expenditures under the program, depending on the per capita income of the indi vidual states. An appropriation of $500,000 would be authorized for grants for demonstrations and studies and a like amount for training grants during the first year of the program. Thereafter, an ap propriation of up to $2 million a year would be authorized for each of these purposes. The legislation provides for an advisory council to the Secre tary of Health, Education and Welfare and also for advisory councils to the official state agencies administering the grants. The councils would rep resent both public and private agencies concerned with juve nile delinquency. The draft bill gives particular emphasis to the coordination of programs of states and local agencies in the control of juve nile delinquency. In sending the proposed legis lation to congress, Mr. Folsom pointed out that services dealing with juvenile delinquency are widely scattered among state de partments and agencies and that coordination among state and lo cal public and voluntary agen cies in this field is "generally inadequate." "Responsibility for providing care and service for individual delinquent youth often shifts back and forth among various agencies and institutions," Mr. Folsom said. "As a result, many delinquent children do not re ceive the appropriate care and treatment at the time when it would be most effective. "Heavy responsibilities rest first with families, schools, churches and various private or ganizations to help children de velop in a normal, wholesome way. "Programs for the control of juvenile delinquency are pri marily the business of communi ties and states. However, it is clearly in the national interest for the federal government to strengthen the hands of local and state governments in deal ing with this growing problem.'
