' ton at the University of Okla homa, old food composition tables are being revised for meats. Old tables included only a limited number of meat cuts and the value of meat was figured on an uncooked basis only. Caloric values were out of proportion and many diets were not adequate in protein. Production of meat has changed in the last 30 years, the home economist noted, as a result of consumers' meat eating habits. Surveys have shown that when meat is served, the lean is usually all eaten, the lean and marbled portion eaten by most people, and in most cases he terior or visible fat is left on the plate. To meet the demand for leaner meat, producers are raising more meat-type ani mals. Processors and meat packers have also trimmed meat so that today's lean pork chop for instance contains about 15 grams protein and about 80 fewer calories. Food needs of today's fam ilies are much different today than they were in the 1920's, the home economist says. To day's farm, factory or office workers use fewer calories than their fathers did. With today's labor saving devices, women do not have to expend as many calories as they did in grandmother's day either. Although men and women today need fewer calories, they still need ample amounts of protein, vitamins anc) min erals, Mrs. Klippstein points out. They help the body to function and help the body resist infections and diseases. Thirty years ago, nutrition was of little interest or con cern to most Americans, Mrs. Klippstein explains. The sci ence of nutrition was new and few people were aware of the relationship of nutrition to health. Meat was not consider ed one of the best foods. Re search has shown, however, that meat is an excellent source of body-building pro tein.

Finally we found time to write and ask Eugene himself, and a few days ago he replied. "The poles are a version of sculpture (first I've done) taken from totem poles. They are really decorative architec tural sculpture to enhance the solid wall, which was a neces sity because of the two levels. They more or less represent a family group. I hope to do more next summer since there is plenty of redwood available and there are a number of things I would like to experiment wufl in combination with this wood. The present group is decorated with galvanized and rusted nails." Eugene, an artist who spends the school year in Chicago and the summer weeks in Medford, recently drew favorable comment from Chicago newspaper art critics for his entries in a show, most of them with flowers as the subject. He spoke of the show in his letter and said "After spending a number of years in the city I was suddenly struck with the beauty of Oregon forests and gardens. I'm still working on this theme particularly trees now without foliage." One critic said of the show "He (Bennett) has departed from his mosaic-like patterns, approaching his new subject matter mostly from the stand point of color. Exhibited works include "Sylvan Glen," a feather-like suggestion of grasses and other growths, and "Flower Bank" aiQ impressionistic color-all-over design." Another critic wrote that the Medford artist has not only gone through a metamorphosis of technique and medium, "he has successfully turned to trees and flowers for subject mat ter." Edith Weigle of the Chicago Daily Tribune had the highest praise of all. She wrote "Eugene Bennett's work is evolving continually, and is getting better and better. In the Feingarten show he has a series of vibrant, gay, beautifully executed flower pictures each showing masses of variegated blijjms as they grow in the field or on a sheltered bank. 'Wild Flowers' and the masses of white blossoms in 'Flower Bank' are especially charming. 'Twilight,' showing a maze of dark branches against a cerulean sky, is his most impor tant work in this show." During Adlai Stevenson's campaign we remember read ing one of his articles in which he wrote that the people of the United States must get over the idea that all we had to do to solve our problems was to appoint more committees, hire more experts and spend more money. Now comes Claude M. Fuess, former headmaster at Phillirjs Academy. Andover. Mass., and elaborates on the same theme in an article in the Saturday Review entitled "Money is Not Enough." "Until our national atitude has changed, no expenditure of mere money will enable us to hold our own with the Russians," wrote the educator. "They have realized for some years the necessity of guiding every child as far along the educational path as he is qualified to go, of identifying talent early and cultivating it to the utmost, of rewarding scholar ship and research, and making teaching a repulgfcle, digni fied profession. "Mnwhile, American men and women who might have been contributing to the Space Age have been designing new and better television sets, automobiles and the countless gadgets which are a part of the daily life of every American. We have been voting ourselves and our children longer and longer holidays at precisely the moment when we need to utilize more profitably all the time available. "We have become so enervated by prosperity that, ac cording to accurate testimony from sportswriters, more and more spectators are watching fewer and fewer athletes. Ac cording to Harold Kaese, athletic clubs are vanishing because the average boy 'won't stick to anything iSugh.' Child for child and man for man we read fewer books proportionately than almost any so-called cultured country in the world. Sweden, with a population of 7 million, has nesQ'ly as many public libraries as the United States. And now fte delude ourselves into believing that by increasing tiie budget, we can quickly redeem ourselves and demonstrate our. supe riority!" Q Mr. Fuess says that what we need, and haven't got, are more and better teachers and should give them not only big ger salaries but "respect, encouragement and some deserved applause.", The Russians, he says, work longer and harder than Americans, and they don't waste their educational in stitutions by letting them stay empty and idle during long vacation periods. He criticized parents who don't want their sons and daughters to work as hard as their parents did, and says that in addition to spending millions of dlars on educating re tarded children, we should have been spending equal or larg er sums on the especially gifted. i Several years ago we remember an argument with three young Medford vomen, all extremely intelligent, ovgr the matter of divided work groups in the Medford school sys tem. They condemned the system as "undemocratic." Wish we had known then what Mr. Fuess repeats in his article the fact that Thomas Jefferson was particularly interested in the intellectually superior and proposed that Virginia educate its most promising boys at the expense of the state. "Jefferson saw nothing undemocratic in this recognition of the fact that some children are mentally superior to their mates and therefore, if rightly trained, are likely to become leaders." Commenting on this nation's state of mind in recent years he wrote "Indeed, our present problem can be solved only in part by the expenditure of vast sums of money. Deep in the consciousness of a large percentage of American is an anti intellectualism almost sinister in its manifestations, an emo tional distrust of the human mind whenever it functions above the twelfth-grade level. Our only half-concealed con tempt for or indifference to the operations of scholars and teachers has brought them into disrepute. How can we help being dismayed when we learn from a recent survey that six out of every 10 Americans hadn't read a book not a single book in the preceding year." The writer warns that only by drastic measures can we reverse our trend and repeats the aphorism of Voltaire "His tory is only the pattern of silken slippers descending the stairs to the thunder of hobnailed boots climbing upward from below." Run for the dictionary: In addition to 57 kinds of com mercial vegetable crops, California grows chayote, dande lions, daikon, Florence fennel, Pak-choi, broad beans and csrdoon. The outsize artistic ticket which Tudor guild members dreamed up for the coming Mardi Gras festival confused ye editor and we referred to them last Sunday as invitations. Mrs. Harry A. Skerry Jr., informed us by note that no invi tations are being issued, no reservations are needed and the unique event is open to anyone interested. It will be held Saturday, February 15, at Rogue Valley Country club and will raise money for the guild's Shakespearean festival ac tor's funds. At suggestion of festival board member, Robby Collins, tickets are going at the sale price of $8.99 per couple.
