Adult education courses in homemaking are currently of fered through public schools in more than 80 Oregon com munities with more than 13,- 500 men and women enrolled last year. Most of the classes are given at night for periods of two to three hours. Major emphasis in the past has been on skill courses clothing, upholstery and some roods but the new program is aimed at broadening course . offerings to include ' other basic areas of homemaking, Addition of such courses will strengthen the educational program and better serve homemakers of the state, it was explained.

Americans Using More Restaurants For Entertaining Chicago (DPD Ameri can's are entertaining more in restaurants. Larry Hilaire, president of the National Restaurant As sociation, said that a study shows that 38 per cent of American families today en tertain in restaurants and hotels. In 1933, the figure was only 12 per cent. He. attributed the trend to the nation's post-war economic boost, easy transportation and modern home architecture, In the old days families held reunions and celebrations at Grandma's house," he said "But today the modern home with its small kitchens and dinettes, has forced relatives to hold gatherings in restaur ants and hotels where facil ities are adequate." His study also showed that American's consume an aver age of nearly 558 million meals in restaurants each week, and spend more than $17 billion annually. Hilaire, a restaurant oper ator from Portland, Ore., trav eled more than 1,000 miles to make the survey. The results were disclosed at the recent Chicago conven tion of the Restaurant Association.

State of Union Serious Matter For Teenagers By SHERI GILES United Press International Chicago (UPD Adults who are confused about the state of the Union should read seventh grader's essay. Young teen-agers have de veloped serious and well- though-out viewpoints about world problems, an essay con test showed. The contest, sponsored by the Independent Hall Asso ciation of Chicago, was held to find out what Independ ence Hall means to the city': seventh and eighth graders Many of the youngsters add ed intellectual discussions on Communism and government policy. "The North and South should be honest with each other," said a 12-year-old girl. "Then we would solve the integration problem. "If the Soviets say personal profit is so unnecessary,' wrote another youngster. "then why do they reserve the best food, houses, cars. and most recognition for the scientist, teacher, and party leader? Why not reward the peasant farmer? Taken for Granted "The Soviets claim capital ist incentive is doomed to ex tinction. Then why do they put personal profit to work to achieve their sputniks and missiles? "Because the Russians have learned that men try to ex eel; because they want more than those . who just loaf along." Another entry came out for a "get tough." policy. ' "We shouldn't get too kind soft-hearted or agreeable with any nation," the writer said Many teen-agers bemoaned a listless attitude in the Unit ed States with phrases such as these: "We have it made in this country" and "We take our liberty for granted." One, young scholar settled for a problem at hand. He said being an American was important to him "because we nave me ngnt to stay in school as long as we want without having to go to work." f-: King Olav of Norway has approved designs for the royal monogram as it will ap pear on coins and medals. ..... i-jWsisii VERSATILE Corduroy beach coat by Gabor also stands ready as toss-on jacket for other occasions.

Fourteen foods were tested by students and by Oregon families to compare food pref ernce opinions. Foods tested were blackberry jam, Ched dar cheese, barbecued potato chips, chocolate chips, tomato juice,, graham crackers, sliced pickles, tomato soup, butter, shelled filberts, green beans, canned peaches, applesauce, and corn. According to Mrs. Lois Sather,. food technologist in charge of OSC flavor studies, student opinions in most cases reflected consumer likes and both groups showed strong preferences for the same foods. Between 120 and 180 stu dents tested the foods in the college "flavorium" labora tory. A total of 230 families in Portland, Astoria, Corvallis, Albany, Salem, Medford and Klamath Falls, took part' in the home survey. All family members over six years of age tested foods and recorded their opinions. Nearly 700 re sponses were received from families on each food. Families tested paired food samples, such as -Grade AA and C butter, listed their opin ions, and indicated which food they would buy if the price were the same for both sam ples. Scientists and producers both feel the need for con sumer acceptability of food products, says Mrs. Sathers. If the consumer does not like the food, he's not going to buy it at the store. OSC's flavor testing pro gram includes nearly 200 stu dent testers hired each year to determine preferences for cer tain foods. , , The OSC study was con ducted by the departments of statistics and food and dairy technology.
