GARBER United Press Correspondent Chicago HP) Everyone talks about the "same old food" every night but no one does much about it. To counter this apathy, staff members of the Chicago Natural History Museum have collected a few exotic recipes for those who have the courage or the capital to try them out. Some recent Mexican imports are fried grasshoppers. Done to a crisp in oil and chili pepper, they are "deliciously nut-like" in flavor, said the explorers. Fried umbrella ants are a fa vorite snack in South America, staff members reported. The lazy chef can omit a few preparations as do the Iroquois Indians of northern New York and eat them raw. A second course might be shark's fin soup, eaten in China, or seal and walrus soup, an Eski mo favorite. To prepare the latter, merely boil water, blood and blubber to gether with chunks of walrus and seal meat and serve. A wealth of tasty dishes comes from South America, said the museum chefs. There are boiled iguana, sauteed crocodile tail, roasted armadillo or roasted paca (a tender rodent). Those with a bent toward the elaborate might try mumu or baked pig, a delicacy from cer tain islands in the South Pacific. Catch a wild pig, advised the explorers, wrap him in banana leaves, and place him on pre heated rocks. Add some sand so that no steam can escape. Cover with burlap sacking and ignore for several hours. Serve with sweet potatoes, on banana leaves. Soursop, a relative of the cus tard apple, is a large fruit of the American tropics now grown in tropical areas the world over, the staff reported. If these suggestions don't tickle the palate of any would-be gour met, he'd best trot right down to the Greasy Spoon and sink his teeth into an old reliable ham joumers Hold Party in Garden Sojourners club held a meet ing Thursday in the garden of Mrs. O. A. Eden, 211 Genessee st. It was also a day of welcom ing guests and new members. Among the latter were Mrs. Lora Stewart, Mrs. Evelyn Hen Uricks and Mrs. Joe .Gulash. Prospective members present were Mrs. Frank L. Rauch, Mrs. Phillip Dopp, Mrs. Rose Schultz, Mrs. James A. Redden and Mrs. Vera Johnson. Out-of-town guests were Mrs. G. W. Stevens, Salem; Mrs. Frank L. Smith, Los Angeles, and Mrs. Julie Tummers, Cen tral Point. Guests from Medford were Mrs. Howard Mitchell, Mrs. H. Lahman and Mrs. Jerry Gastineau. Hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. Jim Winslow, Mrs. Alice Jones, Mrs. John Holmes, Mrs. Dorothy Potter and Mrs. Gulash. The tables were bright with tiny maps of the Rogue val ley so new members could find their .way. Members and their guests played cards. Winners at bridge were high, Mrs. Mary Williams and low, Mrs.Marvin Yost. Pin-, ochle winners were Mrs. Pattie Prj'or. high and Mrs. Mary Mc Connel, low. Winners at canasta were Mrs. Robert Middleton, high and Mrs. Evelyn Hendricks, low. Refreshments were served to 70. The next meeting will be at Pythian hall at 12:30 p.m. Thurs day, August 22nd. So Poitporairiri Visitors from California and Texas brought variety to the news room last week. First there was Marion Ross, in Medford for the opening of a picture in which she was co-starred with Walter Brennan, and later Potpourri met Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Hicks of Abilene, Tex. Miss Ross turned out to be pretty, intelligent and not too "stagey." She sensibly didn't wear too much makeup and her clothes were simple and girlish. But Miss Ross is glamorous enough to set the eyes of the news room men to roving, and to give two boys a thrill Tuesday night when they sat next her at a dinner which Theater Manager Bob Corbin and his charming wife gave at the country club. The Corbin's son. Bill, and the Glenn Harrison's son, Scott, both 11-year-olds, were all slitked up in honor of a "real movie actress" and the three had a lively time. The rest of us asked a lot of questions about movie stars and since Miss Ross had recently been in a picture which starred Clark Gable, there was much talk of him. Miss Ross said this long-time movie favorite was always prompt, knew his lines, was most business-like and worked hard. Miss R. said she frankly wanted Mr. Gable to know she was in the cast, and maneuvered to meet him. By way of opening the conversation she asked, "What shall I call you?'" Mr. Gable considered only a short time and then said, very courteously, "Since you will probably not have an opportunity to call me anything, don't worry.about it." Amused, but not deterred, Miss Ross had another bright idea. Since it was the Easter season, she decorated an' Easter egg and put on it, child fashion, "MR loves CG," and sent it to his dressing room. This did win a friendly smile and special wave . of the hand from CG when he next appeared on the set. " The actress is married to Freeman Morse, an actor, and their social names are Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Meskimen. Intrigued by this odd name, Potpourri inquired the nationality and was told that the family believes it was .originally "MacSimmon" and by some means or other, it was corrupted into Meskimen through centuries of useage. Miss Ross said she thought it had been a mistake for her husband to abandon his real name for the 'stage name. "Morse is just another name," she said. "Who could for get a name like Meskimen?" ( Both Miss Morse and her husband played in the Shakespearean festival at San Diego not long ago; Miss Ross was Olivia in "Twelfth Nightf' with B. Iden Payne, who was at Ashland last year, as director. Her husband played the clown in Jhe same play, and also a role in "Taming of the Shrew." 1 Potpourri and Mr. Corbin took Miss R. to see "Othello"' and after sitting through the performance, apparently enthralled, she decided that on the basis of that pne play, anyhow, the acting in Ashland is somewhat superior to that at San Deigo. ' By some turn of the conversation, the group also talked of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Webster of Arbroath, Scotland, who own orchard property in the Old Stage road area. Mr. Webster's father was Sir Francis Webster, and one of the family enterprises is a factory where sails are made. When the Websters, who were here last summer, sent out Christmas note last season to Medford friends, Mr. Webster mentioned that the sails for the new May flower were made at the family factory. The new Mayflower was docked in New York harbor during our visit, and almost everyone who saw the pretty little ship ex claimed over its small size. None of the adults at the table could remember how many passengers the original Mayflower had brought to America, but Bill and Scott thought it was about 140. During their news room visit, Mr. and Mrs. Hicks said they "discovered"' the west coast a year or so ago when in Seattle at a convention.' After staying briefly in southern Oregon on their way home, they decided to come back this year and look around perhaps buy a bit of property and come here to live when Mr. H. retires next January. They like Grants Pass, Medford and Ash land all very much, and were having a hard time deciding where to settle. Mrs. Hicks said "Our friends back home are beginning to say we're disloyal to Texas, because we rave so about the beauties of Oregon, and the wonderful summer climate. We should be paid by the C. of C. we're so good at advertising your state." Mr. Hicks, who works in the city hall of Abilene, said he had to go out and buy a tweed jacket his clothes were too light for this brisk summer climate, and the two of them were wondering how to dress for the Shakespearean festival neither one had a top coat and they had no car robes. There must have been quite a bit of stage fright in Medford the week of August 1, what with all the theatricals going on. We know there was some among the youngsters who staged the neigh borhood play on Vashti way. While Potpourri was running in and out trying to set up a picture, one small shaver ran through the kitchen door onto the patio, took one look and turned and ran right back in the house. He stopped, gulped and said in a shocked voice, "Why, there's people out there!'" He was right. Before the play went on, about 50 residents of the neighborhood gathered for the event.- Mrs. James Stewart, who engineered the whole performance, wrote the script about what happens in a park or woods in the spring, wrote or adapted words and music and made the costumes for 29 young sters. Friends and parents of the children helped buy materials and served refreshments after the play was over. The former Darlene Kroening, who was married to William Clegg Jr., August 3, wrote a little note to accompany her wed ding questionnaire. "It may seem unusual, butl don't remember too much about it (the wedding ceremony)," she wrote. From our long experience with weddings and brides we can say that it isn't at all unusual. Most brides and bridegrooms complain afterwards that the entire ceremony went too quickly and that what should be one of the most precious memories is nothing but a blur. . , . O.S. Sunday.
