Acid Prevents
Darkening of
Frozen Fruits
Corvallis If you're plan
ning to freeze a supply of
peaches before the season ends,
better get acquainted with some
of the products on the market
that will help prevent light
colored fruit from darkening.
Ihis advise is from Mrs. Ruth
Klippstein, Oregon State college
extension nutritionist.
There are all kinds of anti
oxidants on the market, she
says, but the most popular is
vitamin C or ascorbic acid.
Ascorbic acid not only acts
to prevent darkening, but more
important adds needed food
value to the fruit, she says. For
instance, if ascorbic acid is used
to prevent darkening in peaches,
an average serving of peaches
would contribute about one
half the day's share of vitamin
C needed in the diet.
It's easy to add vitamin C to
frozen fruit, says Mrs. Klipp
stein. Here's how: make a syrup
of sugar and water the night
before and place in the re
frigerator to cool. The next day
dissolve a small amount of ascor
bic acid in water and add to the
syrup. Use about V4 teaspoon
ascorbic acid to a quart of syrup.
Ascorbic acid in tablet, pow
der or crystal form is available
in most stores. Powder form
usually is the cheapest and most
cenvenient way to buy it, ac
cording to Mrs. Klippstein, but
she advises shoppers to compare
local prices.
More food presevation helps
are available on request from
local county extension offices,
she reports.

Cotton Council
Has New Term
For 'Separates'
By United Press
The fashion industry has come
up with a substitute fo? the
term "separates." Now, the
phrase is '"pair-offs." The Na
tional Cotton council, in a round
up of fall fashions for college
and career girls, defines "pair
offs" as separate items, such as
blouses and skirts, which go to
gether because they are color
coordinated. Now a girl can keep in shape
while traveling abroad, even
with all the feasting in fine
European restaurants. Slender
ella International is offering
figure - care certificates as bon
voyage gifts ' for the "woman
who has everything." "Cash"
them in at any of the company's
European salons.
Cotton fashions for 1958 will
be given a global preview in
Venice, Italy, September 25. The
occasion will be the annual con
ference of the International Fed
eration of Cotton and Allied Tex
tile Industries. At least 11 na
tion including the United States
will be represented. This country
will send 16 outfits.
Buckles and bows abound on
the new shoes. Some are flat,
and tailored looking; others are
reminiscent of Pilgrim shoes,
apparently an influence of the
Mayflower II.
Women's Wear Daily, a trade
publication, reported the case of
! the puzzled customer at a Fifth
j Avenue store. She was trying
! on a wool sheath, with neckline
cut in a deep "V." "Which is the
I front?," asked the customer. The
i clerk called the Seventh Avenue
designer to find out. Answer
j the "V" was the back, the high
cowl was the front neckline,
j The , store admitted that the
; dress had confused its sales
j force the girls had been show
i ing it to customers both ways.

iPo'tpourri
Some writer for the North American Newspaper Alliance prob
ably has a red face. Browsing through some back issues of the
Denver Post which Pal Peg saved during our sojourn in the east,
Potpourri found an interesting article entitled "Where Should
Queen Sleep?" The writer went on for about two columns on the
problem facing the Eisenhowers and their State Department ad
visors on how to entertain Queen Elizabeth when she visits the
United States in the falL Should the queen and her spouse be put
in Blair House, as other notable guests, including proud King
Saud of Arabia, or should she be given "top drawer" treatment
and invited to stay in the White House itself.
After all phases of this had been explored the reporter wrote:
"What with all the assorted perplexities about the queen's ap
proaching visit, one thing seems pretty certain. There will be
'no hot dog hospitality' for her Majesty such as that given his
Majesty, her royal dad. Londoners are said still to raise eyebrows
at any mention of the hot dog picnic given King George and his
Queen at Hyde Park by the Roosevelts. And no plans are under
way for similar informality at President Eisenhower's Gettysburg
farm, we are told."
About the time the article got into print, a large delegation of
U.S. attorneys and their wives, in England for a bar convention,
were entertained by Queen Elizabeth at a lawn party and the
Queen served hot dogs. With plenty of mustard.
This week we read that the Queen and Prince Philip will see
a football game between the Universities of Maryland and North
Carolina when she is here. The couple will be in the United States
October 16-21, and it is said the Queen requested that a football
game be included on her schedule. The royal couple will be guests
of Governor Theodore R McKeldin of Maryland. Also planned
are formal dinners, the first to be at the White House Thursday,
October 17. and the return dinner at the British embassy two days
later. The President and Mrs. Eisenhower will go to National air
port to greet the Queen and prince consort.
Potpourri and pappy took advantage of the clear skies Sunday
and Monday nights to watch the comet visible in the northwest
sky in the vicinity of the Big Dipper. The heavens are always fas
cinating, but this summer, with two comets, it has been doubly
exciting. r
Monday night we turned the little telescope first on the comet
and later we watched Saturn with its ring, could see four of
Jupiter's moons, two on either side, and Venus. But the moon is
always the most interesting, with its crater and mountains, the
latter particularly clear on the "dark" edge.
The society editor definitely should not go around spilling her
tea. Not at parties. Monday afternoon we went to the trousseau
tea which Mrs. Matthew Ripfl gave for her daughter, Margaret
Ann, and what did we do but spill hot tea on the pretty table cloth.
At the moment the small accident seemed unaccountable but
later developments explained the whole thing. The beautiful cup
wasn't an 'ordinary cup it had three little feet which made it a
bit unsteady. And the saucer had ornamental holes around the
edge which we found out a few seconds later, for the tea which
poured into saucer, instead of on. the table, then ran out' the holes.
The accident didn't spoil our fun one bit, though. Potpourri
went right ahead and looked at the wedding presents, the pretty
bride's trousseau and ate more than a polite share of the tea
dainties. Trousseau teas are rare in Medford, but it is custom
firmly established in Canada, where the Ripfls lived before com
ing to Medford. It is always given by the bride's mother or other
close relatives just shortly before the wedding and provides friends
an bpportunity to see the wedding presents and trousseau.
Tod Bradley Maddox, born to Astrid (Tudie) and Raoul Mad
dox August 12 in Fairbanks, Alaska, can boast of a long list of
grandparents. He has four grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George
Maddox and the Ross Adams, all of Medford; three great-grandparents,
Arthur Gue, Mrs. Adams' father, and the George Adams,
her husband's parents, and Mrs. Elizabeth Rumbaugh, all of
Aliquippa, Pa. Mrs. Rumbaugh is 86. Mrs. Adams also reported
with joy that baby Tod is the first son in four generations for one
side of her family. O.S.

Rumors of Riff
Between Grace and
Rainier Rejected
Monaco (IPl Palace of
ficials today laughed off rumors
that' the marriage ' of Grace
Kelly and Prince Rainier is in
difficulties after 15 months.
They also denied reports Monaco
was broke and they knew noth
ing of reports Grace was buy
ing maternity dresses.
The first rumor started when
Princess Grace began taking a
companion along whenever she
visited friends. The rumors said
she did so because the Prince
was "suspicious and tyrannical."
Established Custom
For a member of royalty to be
accompanied when appearing in
public "is a long established cus
tom among the ruling families
of the world," one palace official
said.
A financial expert also laughed
at rumors the Monaco govern
ment coffers are empty, or had
to be filled by shipping magnate
Aristotle Onassis or even by
Grace's father, Philadelphia con
tractor John B. Kelly.
He said that Monaco has been
in excellent financial and eco
nomic shape since 1950.
Princess Grace's relatives last
visited Monaco in March for the
baptism of Princess Caroline.
Grace and the Prince are now
vacatioining near Gstaad, Switzerland.
