BIX MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUHE

If you are one of those who fret because it seems a waste
to throw away copies of good magazines, you're just the per
son to join the Magazines for Friendship movement. Pot
pourri heard about this project Thursday at a Zonta meet
ing, and immediately asked President Jean Fish for the
material to pass on.
The movement started with Professor Albert Croissant of
Occidental college, Los Angeles, eight years ago and has
spread to all parts of the United States. It is endorsed by such
rioted personages as Paul G. Hoffman, Bernard Baruch, John
Foster Dulles, Eleanor Roosevelt and others who believe
that it can be a strong factor for peace and better under
standing between nations.
The magazines may be sent to librarians, mayors, school
superintendents or heads of other institutions, to editors,
professors of universities or colleges. Small magazines may
be wrapped in a flat package, larger ones rolled. They can
be shipped at the rate of 12V cents per pound. Magazines
for Friendship will supply gummed stickers, which cost only
SI for 300, and which have a simple message of friendship
arid a place for the sender's name and address.
Of course, only magazines which provide a true picture
of American life and character are desirable for this pur
pose. No one should send pulp or comic magazines, or those
which contain articles and pictures that present a sensational,
distorted picture of life in the United States. Among those
recommended are Atlantic, American Girl, American Home,
Better Farming, Better Homes and Gardens, Boy's Life,
Business Week, Coronet, Cosmopolitan, Farm Journal, Field
and Stream, Fortune, Good Housekeeping, Harper's, Holiday,
House Beautiful, House and Garden, Ladies' Home Journal,
Life, Look, Mechanix Illustrated, McCall's, Mademoiselle,
National Geographic, Nation's Business. ,
: Others on the desirable list are New York Times Maga
zine, New York Times Book Review, New York Herald
Tribune Books, Newsweek, New Yorker, Pageant, Parents
Magazine, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Reader's
Digest, Redbook, Saturday Review, Saturday Evening Post,
Science Digest, Scientific American, Science and Mechanics,
Sports Illustrated, Sunset, Successful Farming, Time, Today's
Woman, Town Journal and U. S. News and World Report.
Packages of magazines weighing from 10 to 40 pounds
may be shipped from New York and San Francisco, or nearby
communities, to U. S. embassies and consulates by way of
APO. In this fashion, the cost is even less.
Copies of professional magazines are also needed abroad,
It is stated. Potpourri often feels pretty dubious about so
called "good will" movements, but this one seems excellent
from all angles. Paul G. Hoffman has said that Magazines for
Friendship can be "a major instrument of foreign policy"
and pointed out that it is a concrete, dynamic and yet simple
project in which thousands of Americans can engage.
Zontian Jean Fish has a list of foreign universities
which will use the magazines, and it shows about 30 nations,
from Argentina to Yugoslavia. It is possible to find the
names and addresses of leading European personages in
many nations by consulting Europa Encyclopedia, by consul
ting copies of foreign Who's Who volumes; the Editor and
Publisher Directory lists the names and addresses of execu
tives and editors of the world's leading newspapers and
magazines.
, In case you send your copies to the mayors, this informa
tion may be helpful. In Germany and Austria the mayor is
called the burgermeister; in Italy, the sindaco; in France,
the maire; in Spain and Latin America, the alcalde.
Small boy story: About to set forth for an engagement
with the Berg Martens, Mrs. George Rode explained to son
Johnny that the Marten's name was spelled differently, like
the name of the small furry animal. When papa and mama
Rode returned home, Johnny inquired politely "Did you
have a nice time at the Beaver's?"
. Church story: Recently the board members and minister
of -a local church sent out letters asking for donations to help
with the church budget. Back came a letter from one
member saying "this Christian life is just give, give, give."
Whereupon the minister sat down and wrote a thank you
note to the member and said "Yours is the best definition
of a Christian life I have heard."
." Television tid-bit: After watching the Lowell Thomas
travel show last week, one woman decided that the main
difference between the African dancers and American drum
majorettes in a parade was of custuming and equipment.
Change the African feathered headdress, costume and spear
to the tall hat, satin uniform and baton of the majorette and
the performance would be almost identical same steps,
same kicks and same passing of the baton or spear around
the head and under and over the legs and arms.
- Smart Postman story: Mrs. Steven Dodge was a little
surprised last week when she received a letter addressed to
her on "Little Car Street." Mrs. Dodge lives on Austin street.

Pork Chops for Stuffing
Use an orange-raisin stuff
ing when preparing stuffed
pork chops. Use pork rib
chops for stuffing and always
have your meat retailer cut
a pocket for the stuffing on
the rib side of the chop. Made
this way, the chops will tend
to hold in the stuffing more
securely during the cooking
period.

Two major needs must be
met by the curriculum of a
modern high school. The
school must not only prepare
its students for further edu
cation in a college or univer
sity, but must offer courses
which fill the needs of boys
and girls who will enter vo
cational and technical schools
and those whose formal pub
lic education will cease with
high school. Through its aca
demic and general courses of
study, Medford High school
meets these various needs
About half the graduates go
on to colleges or universities.
Basically, the curriculum is
organized so that either course
accomplishes certain basic
purposes. As set forth in the
registration manual for stu
dents these are: First, they
lay emphasis upon grounding
the pupils in fundamental
knowledges, attitudes and
skills necessary for under
standing one's environment
and making adjustments to it.
Second, both lead pupils into
some of the larger fields of
thought and knowledge, of
fer opportunity for individual
expression, and the develop
ment of life and vocational in
terests. Third, both seek to
train pupils in proper habits
of life and vocation interests
Third, both seek to train pu
pils in proper habits of work
and thought, each citizen
ship, inculcate right attitudes,
habits, ideals and understand
ings, and to get along satis
factorily with other indvid
uals in the social groups.
Fourth, both require that once
a pupil has selected a field
of knowledge for study, he
do a consistent amount of pre
scribed work in the chosen
line to enable him to "try
out" in it satisfactorily and
to prevent dissipation of time
and energy.
The general division, ac
cording to the manual, offers
a wider variety of work than
the college preparatory div
ision to meet the interests
and aptitudes of the students.
In addition to English, which
is compulsory, it offers a
choice of any one of 10 lines
of work in which a pupil may
major, and also offers free
election of subjects to the ex
tent of from 1 to 10 units. The
quality or grade of work de
manded is not quite so high
as that required in the col
lege preparatory division. It
seeks to aid pupils in finding
a vocational interest and in
giving them a certain mini
mum of training in the chosen
field.
For graduation in the gen
eral division the pupil
must have 3 units of English,
including ninth grade, 1 unit
of - American history, 1 unit
of American problems, 1 of
laboratory science, 2 units- of
physical education and 1 of
mathematics. In his chosen
major he must have 3 or 4
units, depending upon the
field.
The majors are social stud
ies, mathematics, foreign
languages, natural sciences,
commercial, shop work, home
economics, music and art.
In the general division
courses, homemaking is pop
ular and has proven extreme
ly useful to the girl graduates.
(A survey of the 1954 class
showed that about 65 per cent
of the girls were married
within three years after grad
uation.) The courses in cook
ing and sewing are planned
to give practical instruction
in food preparations, in cloth
ing selection and construction
and tailoring, all information
and skills useful to any wom
an, whether married or not.
Child care is also taught, and
home nursing is given as part
of the physical education
classes.
The courses are planned so
that the girls alternate their
semesters of sewing and cook
ing. Since so manv enroll in
these courses, the department
will be enlareed under the
expansion of the school plant
now beine Dlanned and which
will start in the near future.
The industrial arts or shop
program offers work in three
different fields wood shop,
metal shop and machine shop.
An automobile shop is to be
added during the plant ex
pansion. In addition archi
tectural drawing and voca
tional carpentry are given.
In the shop classes students
pay for materials for furni
ture, metal objects or tools
which become their property.
Advanced carpentry students
build a small house every
year.
Nine courses are offered in
the business department, in
eluding shorthand, typing,
bookkeeping, clerical practice
and business machines. Al
though the majority of the
students taking the business
course plan to go directly
into the business world, oth
ers prepare themselves to
earn a living while paying
their way through college.
Through their electives,
students in one division may
take courses in another. Dra
matics, music and art are
popular courses since the
knowledge and information
gained in such studies not
only may be part of an indi
vidual's professional life but
are the backbone of his cul
tural and social life in years
to follow. In the dramatics
courses, personality develop
ment is fostered. Exercises
for developing good posture
and ease of movement are
coupled with voice and speech
improvement and correct
makeup is taught. Using
scenes from great plays, or
one-act plays, the class mem
bers plan the action, interpre
tation of character and cos
tuming under the direction of
the instructors. Each class
member is held responsible
for one particular phase of the
presentation, and as the course
progresses, they learn to ac
cept more responsibility.
The ability to evaluate is
developed by a written criti
que from every member of
the class after watching each
scene.
Presentation of the senior
play is handled by the drama
department, and this year's
play is now in rehearsal.
Be g i n n i n g, intermediate
and advanced art work is of
fered. Problems range from
class exercises to units in in
dustrial designs, commercial
art, art history, sculpture, in
terior design, print-making
and drawing. Second year
work includes additional
study in oil painting, water-
color, advertising design,
portrait drawing and archi
tectural form. In the advanc
ed classes emphasis is spread
from experimentation in de
sign, media and application
to specific study of academic
methods, theory and practice
in a variety of art fields.
After the plant expansion,
it is planned to add a crafts
department to the art work,
with work in ceramics and
similar programs.
In the music department,
credit is given for instrumen
tal work in the school band
or orchestra. The department
has two bands, with music-

ians selected on the basis of
tryouts, and an orchestra, and
these meet for rehearsals
every day. In addition to the
classroom work, the groups
plays for assemblies, and
sports events, enter contests,
play for festivals and give
concerts. Players of stringed
Instruments receive individ
ual instruction.
A merit system is in op
eration for both the bands
and orchestra which permits
students to win letters in mu
sic. In the vocal department a
male glee club, girls' choruses
and a choir are organized each
year. No auditions are requir
ed for the male glee club and
choir, but admission to the
choir is based on auditions
and this group does advanced
work.
These groups, and other
smaller vocal groups, perform
in concerts, sing for assem
blies, school programs, tele
vision and radio. This year
a full scale operetta was per
formed to three capacity aud
iences. The smaller " vocal
groups include the Madrigal
Singers, boys' quartets and
double quartets, girls' sextet
and other ensembles. Mem
bership in these is limited to
the more outstanding students
as selected by the director.
To correct an impression
conveyed in last week's is

about 160 students are en
rolled in chemistry in Med
ford High school this year.
The number 40 used in con
nection with a picture of two

Lirer Lecture
Liver is all meat and no
bone. It has little fat so needs
additional fat during cook
ing. Too high temperature or
too long cooking tends to
make the liver less tender
and also tends to destroy the
flavor.
Economy Meal -
A thrifty meat cut for an
economy-minded homemaker
is a ham shank. Serve it with
sauerkraut, sweet potatoes,
buttered peas, lettuce
wedge, Boston brown bread
and your favorite fruit for
dessert.
