"-I I i L I ) O o I O Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- DOC BROWN'S battered jalopy fModel T to be precise was the subject for considerable merriment for the young er fry in front of the village drug store. Doc Brown ignored the jibes as he climbed into the seat, then remarked amiably, "This car's paid for, boys. If you'll check with your parents, you'll discover that you ain't!" The lady was shifting her headquarters from her sum mer home to her city apart ment, but the moving van failed to appear. So she phoned the mover and listened to a long. Involved explanation. "All right, all right," she interrupted finally. "I am touched by your story but not moved." - It Is Warren Hull's notion that George Washington was not only the father of his country, but the absolute Ideal of credit men. He left a farewell address! O 1957. by Bennett Corf. Distributed by King Features Syndicate. The Hollywood Scene By VERNON SCOTT United Press Writer 0 5 Hollywood TCP! Fred Astaire, long a TV holdout, makes his video debut Sunday night, but he'll leave his dancing shoes at home. The loose - limbed star has made 30 movies, all of which de pended heavily on his hoofing. Now he's jit tery about a Vernon Seott dan celess ap pearance. A dedicated perfec tionist, Fred is afraid viewers will feel short-changed if he plays it straight. "People always expect me to dance," he said, relaxing over a cocktail in his home. "But I'm hoping they won't demand the same things from TV they do from movies. "I've never attempted televi sion before because the lack of time for preparation makes TV terrifically difficult for a dancer. New Approach Promised 'Every time I dance I try a new approach. It is not some thing that can be done easily nor very often. All my dances are original. I never repeat any thing." As star of "Imp on a Cobweb Leash" for "General Electric Theater" on CBS, Astaire will play a stuffy businessman who kicks over the traces to have a little fun. "The script doesn't call for dancing," he went on. "I chose this show because the story was fresh and well-written. "I've had many offers to per form on TV, even for a regular series. But I don't believe any one in movies should have a weekly show. It's not good for them. And I refused to travel Three Arrested Qn Assault Charge Three Medford men were ar rested on charges of assault and battery on a citizen's complaint signed by Loa M. Burns, 372 Garfield st., after they were in volved in a disturbance at the New Pastime Tavern, 2742 North Pacific highway about 1 a.m. yesterday, according to city police. Police said the men, Robert Earl Meyers, 507 South Peach st., Fritz John Ruch, 328 North Central ave., and Richard Eu gene Foy, route 1, box 324, Arn old lane, were arrested about 1:15 a.m. The men posted bail of $100 each and were released to ap pear in municipal court Friday morning, police said. NATION'S HOT SPOT Miami OP) Daytona Beach, Fla., had the nation's warmest weather to be thankful for, the U.S. Weather Bureau said. It was 83 degrees. the guest star circuit. No one can do his best that many times a year. Extensive Preparation Needed "It takes me about five weeks to formulate ideas for dance rou tines, to rehearse and film them. That kind of schedule is finan cially unrealistic and impractical for television. "If I can't dance my best, I'd rather not dance at all." Astaire pointed out TV has yet to produce a genuine dance star. "That's because a dancer can not appear frequently enough and still hold an audience's at tention. I've seen a lot of danc ing on TV, especially chorus work, and I think they do quite well," he said. 'Someday I hope to dance on TV. An hour-long show, or a few half-hour things might be nice with nothing but dancing. But I would want them well spaced with plenty of time for rehearsal."

The family of 4-Wheel-Drive vehicles WILLYS. ..world's largest manufacturer of 4-Wheel-Drive vehicles Feeding the Family By ZOIA VINCENT Food Editor Vegetable Garnishes During the holiday season with so much emphasis on heavi er, richer foods, the wise home- maker will keep in mind the important healthgiving values of fresh vegetables. A wonderful way to have quantities of same consumed is to fix a tray of col orful, crisp, fresh vegetable gar nishes and have it available for family to munch on before as well as during lunch or dinner. If you've never done this, we think the childrens' enthusiasm will surprise you. For party service we arrange the vegetables on a bed of crack ed ice. Carrot Curls. Scrub carrots and' cut into very thin slices lengthwise with vegetable parer. Roll each slice up tightly and fasten with toothpicks. Chill in bowl of crushed ice several hours or overnight. Remove toothpicks. Slices will remain curled. Cucumber Scallops. Score out side of washed cucumbers by running tines of fork down the cucumber lengthwise. Slice thin and crisp on ice. Radish Roses. Trim stem down to one inch. Cut off root end. With tip of sharp knife cut just through outside red skin down from root end toward stem in 4 or 5 sections to form petals. Chill on ice and watch them curl. Celery Frills. Cut cleaned stalks of celery into 2 or 3-inch pieces. Cut into thin strips lengthwise but not all the way down. Leave them connected at the bottom. A variation of this is to slit celery pieces from both ends, leaving a half-inch uncut portion in the middle. Chill on crushed ice until they curl. Radish Fans. Trim off root end and leave one inch stem. Starting on one side, cut thin even slices toward stem end, but not cutting all the way through. Chill on. crushed ice to make fans open. Green peppers cut in thin cres cent shaped slivers are especial ly attractive if the green peppers are tinged with red. Cauliflowerettes are made by simply soaking uncooked cauli flower in salted cold water for a few minutes, in order to re move any unnecessary insect life, then break it into tiny bite size flowerettes. Cabbage wedges cut from small solid heads of cabbage are a great favorite of children. Keep wedges small and include a bit of the heart to hold them together. Glorified Ham Chances are that sometime during the holidays most home- makers will serve a georgeously decorated ham to friends and relatives. Your leftovers will become planned - overs if you have a couple of dishes like these to look forward to. Tasty brown ham patties will go a long way towards popular izing planned-over ham. Combine three cups ground ham with one - half cup dry bread crumbs, one -fourth cup milk, three-fourths cup chopped celery, one beaten egg and a dash of pepper. Shape mixture into round flat patties, coat with bread crumbs, then dip into mix ture of one egg beaten with two tablespoons water. Coat again with bread crumbs. Cook patties in small amount of fat until well - browned on both sides. Makes six patties. Variations: Omit celery and add one teaspoon each of minced parsley and minced onion. OR omit celery and add one - six teenth teaspoon ground cloves and one tablespoon brown sugar. Ham Rarebit This is ideal for serving over hot fluffy rice, delicately brown ed biscuits or toast points. Melt one-fourth cup butter or margarine; add one -fourth cup flour and one - fourth teaspoon dry mustard. Slowly stir in IVi cups milk, one tablespoon Wor cestershire sauce and one-fourth pound grated cheddar cheese (about one cup grated). Heat slowly and stir until smooth Add one cup cooked ham, diced, and cook over low heat four to five minutes longer. Garnish finished product with parsley or bits of pimiento for a gala look. Ham Split Pea Soup. This fav orite hearty soup is all too often overlooked. When the favored slices of .the whole or shank half of ham are gone, cut the rest of the good bits of ham from the bone. Simmer ham bone 1V to two hours in three quarts water to which one teaspoon salt, one fourth teaspooa pepper, one me dium sized onion, sliced, and a few pickling spices (optional) have been added. Strain broth. Cut any remaining meat from bone. Add two cups split green peas, scraps of ham from bone, additional 1V4 cups cubed cook ed ham, one carrot, cut. in small pieces, one medium onion, diced. Allow to simmer 40 to 45 min utes or until soup has reached the consistency you like. Add additional salt to taste and more water if necessary. Serve with French bread and a green salad for a completely satisfying meal. Western Persimmons Colorful, seasonal western per simmons are a mild, sweet and beautiful fruit ranging in color from orangy-red to yellow. They are quite unlike the small puck ery persimmons native to the eastern states. Persimmons are simmilar .in texture to fresh tomatoes and about the same size. They are an excellent source of vitamin A and are at their best when served fresh. Be sure they are fully mature and ripe before using in ways like these: Dessert or Breakfast Fruit. The refreshing flavor of per simmons makes them a delight ful dessert or breakfast . fruit. Wash, chill, then place stem end down on serving plate. Cut two crosswise slashes in top of fruit and eat the smooth pulp with a spoon. Some people like a little cream and perhaps a dash of sugar. Persimmon Salads. When us ing in salads, do not peel per simmons. Cut them in halves, quarters, or in crosswise slices. They go well with almost any of the fall fruits and contrast particularly well with grape fruit and avocado. Serve with favored French dressing. Persimmon jam wilf make an unusual and flavorsome Christ mas rememberance. Choose per simmons that are very, very ripe. Press the fruit through a strainer, food mill or colander. Add an equal amount of sugar. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly (or almost so), until thickened. Keep under the boil ing point or jam may become bitter. Twenty to thirty minutes should be sufficient time to thicken the jam. Pour into steri lized glasses and seal. Four cups pulp yields about one quart jam. Persimmon Pulp in Baking. Persimmon pulp can be used just like good-old applesauce to give puddings, cakes and cookies a moist rich texture and unusual delicate flavor. Walnut Finger Bits. Pacific coast grown walnuts are in ex cellent supply. Here's a simple, but ever so good, salad accom paniment starring chopped wal nuts. Remove crusts from slices of white bread. Cut into finger strips then butter generously on all sides and roll lightly in melt ed butter. Roll in crushed or finely chopped walnut meats. Chill before serving.

Portland Man Greets Wife on Thanksgiving Portland (IP) Thanksgiving day was wonderful for Mr. and Mrs. Christ Lafa'zanoff. They were united here Thursday for the first time since 1939. Lena Lafazanoff was greeted at the Portland International Airport for the happy reunion. When Lafazanoff left Bulgaria in 1939, he expected to send for his wife soon. But World War II intervened, and then further delay resulted from Communist domination of the country. Lafa zanoff, a powder man in con struction work, was naturalized here in 1946. And it was an even longer time since Mrs. Lafazanoff had seen her older brother, Thorp E. Elieff, now of Portland. He, alsjO, was at the airport to see his sister for the first time in half a century. Elieff left the original family home, in Mace donia, then under Turkish con trol, in 1907. The Lafazanoffs have two grown sons still in Bulgaria. Sweetest of all forms f su gar is levulose. Sawdust Telephone SP 2-2111 MEDFORD FUF GO. GUARANTEED FINEST MAJOR GASOLINE sJs.
