Oregon to Strengthen
Adult Education Courses
Corvallis A plan to broad
en and strengthen adult home
making education in Oregon
by addition of such courses as
home management, child de
velopment, and family finance
has been announced by the
state division of vocational
education and the Oregon
State college home economics
education department.
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.
Bertna Kohlhagen, state
; supervisor of home economics
education, with May DuBojs
and Isabella McQuesten, OSC
home economics education de
. partment are leaders in pro
gram development.
As the first step in the pro
gram, twe one-day confer
ences were held last week at
Oregon State college for adult
, homemaking teachers. Nearly
41 teachers and local voca
tional directors participated
in discussions on how to make
homemaking classes more ef
fective and which additional
courses are needed. O. I. Paul
son, state director of vocation
al education, met with the
up.
Recommendations will be
(Referred to adult education
leaders in the various com
munities for their use in plan
ning local course offerings.
Home management courses
designed to help the horne
ts.
maker better organize her
time and work have been
especially requested, it was
reported. Colorado has an ef
fective home management
project built around a "wife
saver" theme that was used
as a sample project. Other
courses suggested included
family finance, family rela
tions, teen-ager guides, and
child development.
Lindsay M. Vinsel, director
of vocational education for
Medford, was among those
who attended the conference.
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."

Corvallis Student "taste,
testers" can serve as conven
ient and reliable "stand-ins"
for Oregon consumers in food
preference studies, Oregon
State college research shows.
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.
