Mrs. Ellsworth, former resident of Greenwich, Conn., now living in Los Angeles, is secretary of the foundation and a member of the board. She also started the Califor nia chapter which now has 1,000 members and is the largest in the country. Myasthenia gravis is a dis ease which blocks transmis sion of nerve impulses to the muscles. Sometimes fatal, al ways crippling, the disease strikes old and young alike. There is no known cure. Mrs. Ellsworth will discuss why myasthenia gravis is everybody's business.

Miss Claudia Hoover, board president, presided over the meeting; plans were discussed for a vesper service, and the cookie sale during Girl cout week in March. Other busi ness included voting on the board constitution.

The duties of the planning board are to work as a tie be tween Senior troops of the council and help organize service project where all the troops may work together; give aid in council projects when asked, organize recrea tion for the combined troops and fund raising for the com bined use of the troops and board expense.

Silver Dollar Trading Stamps Versatile Cheesemakers 'Make About By JEANNE LESEM United Press Correspondent New York OPl If the moon were made of cheese, Americans might lose interest in it. Seems we're just not cheese minded. We dont know our cheeses, and we make only a one per cent dent in -the world's annual production of the product. This word comes from John Sipkin, whose New York firm imports the best selling tiny gruyere cheese packages irt the country. "We eat more cheese today than ever before, 1,200,000, 000 pounds of it," said Sip- kin. "That's nearly double London Builds Theater Trade By Coach Trips By GLENNIE CURRIE United Press Correspondent London (IB London's the- aterland is fast rivaling the country's racecourses in pop- uarity for "coach outings" or ganized by small-town social clubs, factory organizations and women's institutes. Race meetings, fairs, cir cuses, choral concerts and sports events all have their share of the "coach trade," with the big luxury buses parked in dozens alongside. Now the organizers of such day trips are turning more and more to the theatres, and hundreds of parked coaches in the narrow side streets of the West End make the city's traffic problems worse than ever. Ironically, television is largely responsible. The BBC frequently shows excerpts from stage successes in its television programs. Block bookings for the stage show start pouring in the next day. W. F. Boulter, theatre tick et manager for Keith Prowse Ltd., the world's biggest book ing agency, said most of the new coach parties are coming from villages and small towns, many of the members never having seen a play be fore. A Habit "The parties are up to 500 strong,' 'he said. "They come from sports clubs, social cir cles, women's institutes and townswomen's; guilds, and, most of all, from factories and industrial areas. "Musicals and farces are the most popular, with thrill ers and variety shows a close second. Something funny and easy to take in is the general demand." A typical outing costs about 30 shillings ($4.20) a head, de pending on the distance trav elled. This covers tke bus fare, theatre ticket and a meal downtown. They would spend at least that much at the race course of the fairground. And it seems the theatre is habit-forming for the out-of-town folk, because more and more organizations book reg ularly year after year for a trip to the West End. Women Bowlers In Tournament Mrs. Walter Stroup, 2974 Buckshot road, returned Sun day, evening from Astoria, Ore. Mrs. Stroup went north to take part in the 16th an nual Oregon State Bowling tournament being held on sev eral successive week ends at Seaside. Mrs. Stroup's team is com posed of Mrs. L. J. King, Mrs. Deane Brandon, Mrs. E. Lenz and Mrs. Jack Hollenbeak. The team is sponsored by Skeeters and Skeeters, Pros pect. Making the trip next week end to bowl in the tourna ment will be the Five Spares. The team is composed of Mrs. Lem C. Wilson, Mrs. L. E. Wilson, Mrs. Frank Knox, Mrs. W. T. Daigle and Mrs. I A. M. Maggenti. Argentine President Plans Visit To U.S. j Buenos Aires (IP) Presi-! dent - elect Arturo Frondizi ! will visit the United States ' and the principal Latin Amer-' ican countries before his in auguration May 1, reliable sources said today. The sources said Frondizi will travel north along the Atlantic countries and will return along the . Pacific ; Coast. j FREE Silver Dollars THE ONLY TRADING STAMP 2,000 Kinds the tonnage we consumed 15 years ago. But it still accounts for only one per cent of all cheese produced." There are 2,000 different cheese being made today, so many that no one ever has catalogued them completely. Versatile "The average person can name scarcely a handful," the importer said. "I can rattle off the names of only 200. This, of course, is only scratching the surface or the rind of the subject." Cheesemakers are a versa tile lot. They produce the 2,000 kinds of cheese from only 3 kinds of milk cow, goat and sheep. Yet they achieve a wide range in taste and aroma, from sharp and pungent to mild and sweet as candy. Cheese consistency also dif fers greatly, from rock-like cheese to cottage cheese so soft it must be eaten with a spoon. "The sharpness of a cheese depends on the aging and the ripening. The older the cheese the sharper the flavor," said Sipkin. "You can't judge the qual ity of Swiss Cheese by the size of the holes," said the im porter. "The holes, or eyes, have nothing to do with the quality, but it's true that the cheeses with the biggest eyes do bring the best prices." Some Strange Ones Swiss, or Emmenthaler as it's known in its native land, is one of the most popular cheeses in this county, but there are many other foreign cheeses we never see. Among them are Chhana, brinza, toureg, tafi and jose phine. Josephine? . That's a cheese? "Certainly," said Sipkin, "it's a soft cheese that you find in Central Europe. Chhana comes from Asia, brinza from the Carpathian mountains of Hungary, tou reg from the Barbary States, and tafi from Argentina. "There's also ossetin, but you may have to go behind the Iron Curtain to find it. This cheese is so popular in its native Caucasus that it has two alternate names, tus chinsk and kasach. It's made with either sheep's or cow's milk, but Caucasian gourmets prefer the former." Gold Hill Club Holds Annual Dinner, Party In Medford Tuesday Gold Hill The annual din ner meeting honoring officers of Amethyst Rebekah Friend ship club was held at Mary's Casa in Medford Tuesday eve ning.

They are de veloping into better cooks than we, said MMiss Ruth Hathaway, Gay Pauley who has been in the food field for 43 years. Cooking nowadays is all done with timers, thermostats and electronics," she' said. "And the husband often is as good a cook as the wife, or better, becuse he is more me chanically inclined." Well,, the way I feel about food preparation, this is one virtue , the men can have. And let 'em also develop the virtue ; of cleaning up after wards.' ,But Miss Hathaway said women haven't changed much from grandma's day. A wife still considers it her duty to prepare the family meals. Letting her husband cook gives her "a vaguely unhappy feeling, a guilty conscience." The home economist, head of Continental Baking's ex perimental kitchens at Rye, N.Y., for 20 years, suggested any female interested in salv ing her conscience should re turn to "organoleptic cook ing" the art of judging qual ity by senses. Be Daring "Add to a dish; taste as you go," she said. "Bring.imagina- tion back to your kitchen. Be daring. Use herbs freely, make exotic sauces and gra vies. Use different garnishes Try a jellied instead of a hot soup. Try avocado and per simmon salad instead of the standard avocado and grape fruit. These will . . . remind your husband what a lucky fellow he is that he found you." She said . "organoleptic' cooking called for some of the techniques grandma took for granted. "Putting your hand in the oven to guess the temperature is one of them," she said, in an interview "Or shaping drops of water in a skillet to test whether it's hot enough for the griddle cakes. The bubbles will jump around the pan if it is. Or, pulling the stem of a pine apple to . test its ripeness Thumping a watermelon . . a hollow sound indicates it's ready to. eat. Pinching a peach in a supermarket. Poke Around Or, plunging a clean tooth pick into a cake to see if it is done. If it comes out without any dough clinging, it is. "Our mothers and grand mothers poked a fork into a roast turkey or chicken to see if it was done. Now we rely on what the oven tempera ture and timer say." These, she said, were some of the early cooking tech niques applicable today, even with gadgetry to do it for us. But my using our senses, we satisfy the creative ability, which she said still is a must for today's homemaker.

She was a dietician for a New York hos pital before she joined the huge baking firm. Is she an organoleptic cook? "Yes," she said, "I'm strictly old-fashioned at home. In the experimental kitchens, I combine my own experience with science." Dehydrofrozen Foods Tested Washington OPl The froz en foods industry may be in for another boom with the development of a process which seems to lick the indus try's biggest problem lack of selling space. The Department of Agricul ture is testing a new type of frozen food product in which part of the water is removed as the food is frozen. The result has been dubbed dehydrofrozen foods. They take up less space than con ventional fozen foods which means a lot to a food market owner who already has a lot of money tied up in display and storage space for frozen foods. There's an advantage to the consumer, too. Because they are low in moisture, dehydro frozen foods do not freeze in a solid block. It is easier to use part of a package and re place the rest in the home freezer. Dehydrofrozen peas have been tested in several restau rants in Milwaukee, with en couraging results. The customers liked theni and the restaurant operators were pleased with .the way the peas held their quality. They said dehydrofrozen peas were as easy to prepare as canned or conventionally frozen peas. Most meats, fruits, and veg etables can be handled by the new process. calendar" Friday: 6:30 p.m. P ocahontas lodge, Redman hall. 7:45 p.m .Toastmistress club, Girls Community club. 8 p.m. Bowbells chapter, Daughters of the British Em pire, with Mrs. Everitt Sy brant, 520 South Peach st. 8 p.m. Travel pictures at Masonic femple for Masons.

That's the finding of a two year research project at New York University's Center for Safety Education. Mrs. Grace Ellen Stiles conducted the project among 74 elementary school children. Half Ihe youngsters had suffered four accidents in four years, and half had had no accidents. The accident-prone children needed more love and affec tion from adults, more eco nomic security, self-respect and sense of belonging, she found. They had a total of 62 unmet emotional needs, or twice as many as accident free youngsters. The study also showed that accident - repeating child r e n tended to behave immaturely, to be nervous an demotionally unstable, to feel inadequate and to worry about physical defects.
