e O O 6A MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdfori, Oregon, Sunday, July 27, 1953 IPaDitjpoDirairirn Looking around the room at the United Nations meeting Thursday night, we wondered why there are always more Ovomen than men at such gatherings, and why the women do more than half the talking when the discussion is open, as it was Thursday. A few minutes later one of the men asked the same question. After the meeting, called for a "grass roots" discussion of the Middle East situation and for an exchange of opinions and ideas, some asked "why aren't more citizens and voters at these meetings?" Always there is the vague answer "Well, one can't do everything everyone is so busy" and so on. There are those who scoff at PTA, and League of Women Voters and UN meetings, but how many of us would want these organizations to wither and die, who would want to $e in a country where such organizations do not exist, where the man on the street and the woman in the kitchen doQret have access to groups where the opportunity to find faftualQSnfftrmation on practically any subject in the world 9 o$fen to anyone interested? Qlt was a good meeting Thursday night, but difficult to report. Ideas, comments, opinions flew thick and fast. It was said, in various ways, that the United States must strive O to avoid such incidents as the occupation of Lebanon by a Omore carly defined and more realistic foreign policy, one hich eealizes that the Asians and the Africans will have their ireedoms denied; that this qountry must not cirmint fcfce actions of the United Nations but must .support thg group. Some supported, without qualification, President Eisenhower's move into Lebanon, and some be lieve tiEft a show of force is now the only way of preserving (-Jteace. Everyone had his say while others listened. Several years ago when Knife and Fork club was first organized, the noted philosopher, Will Durant, came to Med ford to speak. Much that he said we have never forgotten. His ideas were freshened by reading a little pamphlet entitled "Will Durant Speaks to Youth." We read with ;deepenirfg interest this wise man's statements on health, gyork, sex, marriage, character, religion, money, politics. On politics he said "Don't take politics too seriously. Jpcpect to reform the government only after you have re formed chuman nature and your own. Corruption is natural q in government because it is nature in man. Don't be fright ened by the international situation; it is normal; man is a competitive . animal, individually and in groups. Peace is war by other means. .1 believe that intelligent fear will keep u.-from international suicide. Evils usually beget their cure through their excess; so now the balance of terror is making the peace." I .... , Potpourri didn't get to spend half enough time at the John Day's fascinating new home Tuesday. We were so busy taking names and pictures and in general being a reporter that we didn't have time to enjoy the exciting house, ?ht flowers or the view, which is extensive and beautiful. Mrs. Day and three honored guests made a pleasing sight 0 in their afternoon gowns which blended well, though none had consulted the others about what to wear. The hostess wore a full flowered frock with rose colors predominating, and her new daughter-in-law, the former Jill Runstd of Seattle, a modish sheath dress of palest beige embroidered organza which enhanced her blonde beauty. Mrs. Gilbert Parker, visiting here from Australia, wore a becoming grey lace gown and Jill's mother, Mrs. Harold Runstad, looking charming in a raw silk frock worn with crystal beads. When we remarked about the clever flower arrangements, Mrs. Day said that they were Mrs. Runstad's work. One of the most intriguing ' arrange ments was on the punch table it was of chartreuse zinnias in half a watermelon. Potpourri and Photographer Bob couldn't resist taking a picture of the punch table, for it was set directly under a huge, mounted Kodiak bear, ' one of Mr. Day's hunting trophies. In the picture the bear appears to be reaching fsr a punch cup. .. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kurz, who recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, can always stir up a little interest by relating how they were married at two o'clock Oin the morning. It was during World War I and Mr. Kurz had just been notified fiy Uncle Sam that he was to report for Army duty in a week, and so the two- decided to be married without further delay. The families lived in the Antelope district and the tQuple rode horseback over the hill into Ashland only to earn .that they must secure a license in Jacksonville. So ; they hired a taxi and went to the county seat where they discovered that the county recorder was attending a dance in MedforsL The taxi took them to Medford where the 1 recorder was rounded up and returned with them to Jack sonville where he issued the license. Next the young couple found a justice of the peace and were married, at 2 a.m. 'TJej5 hurried off to Ft. Lewis, Washington, where the Army decided that Mr. Kurz didn't have to become a soldier after all. - - ' A description of a demonstration, said Communist in spired, wgs in a note which Mrs. I. E. Scliuler wrote last wek from Rome. "I was in the Excelsior hQtel last Friday Evening, in the cocktail room where the windows look over on to the Embassy, when the Communist demonstration took place. IJt did not frighten me, but it made me unhappy to think what idiots these Communists are (in Rome) after all we have done and are doing to keep their fool heads up. They were, of course, Russian inspired, led by two of the leading Communists, and there was a huge mob of them, mostly yjung." She wrote of the uneasiness in Rome due to the Middle East situation and concluded "My friends here, French, German, Italian and Dutch, all feel America has no right to enter into the fuss at all."

By JEANNIE LESEM UPI Correspondent New York (CPU Producing' live food commercials for a television show is like hav ing an important dinner party with one major difference. Thousands of guests are dis appointed if the souffle falls. Happily for Miss Bern Nolan, producer of commer cials for NBC's Kraft Theatre, these embarrassing moments haven't happened in 11 "years with the program. But she's had other prob lems" that the average "hostess never faces. Actors and ac tresses appearing on the shows used to sample the food be fore the show went on the air. "They thought it was won derful." Miss Nolan said in an interview at a recent dress rehearsal. "They didn't stop to figure that we needed those displays at air time. But the problem resolved itself when the plays were switched to the network's color television studios in Brooklyn, while we stayed with our old studio here in Radio City. Three of Each Occasionally a hungry pass erby still dips into the hand somely displayed dishes when her back is turned. If such happens, the staff of three cooks and maid rushes in a re placement that was tucked in to refrigerator or stove for an emergency. The kitchen crew turns out at least three of each recipe to cover such accidents, and to make sure of a fresh, briaht and pretty food when the show actually goes on the air. There's one "copy" for the rehearsal, another for the show itself and a third, as stand-by. - None is faked. "You can't mix, cut and stir artificial food and still make it look like the real thing," Miss No lan explained. The kitchen where the tempting dishes are cooked is far from a showplace. It's strictly utilitarian, shaped like a railroad car, and fitted with two stoves, four large refrigerator-freezers and a double sink. Three Cooks The walls are lined with shelves stacked high with food supplies and enough dishes, glassware and cook ing utensils to stock a store's housewares department. Behind the scenes, three cooks Mrs. Angela Matthews of Stamford, Conn., Mrs. Alice Herlihy of Forest Hills, N.Y., and Miss Helen MacArthur, of New York prepare every thing from simple cheese sandwiches to complicated molded salads, souffles and other hot dishes, and cakes and pies.. But they never go on camera themselves.

What happens to all the tasty dishes when the show signs off? Like a thrifty house wife, Miss Nolan puts the staples, such as cheese and crackers, away for another day. Leftover pies and cakes usually are frozen, also for future use. But hot dishes, salads and other perishables? Well, take a look at the studio crew. It has a certain well-fed look. Experts in Pewter List Rules of Care Pewter experts list these rules for collectors: When two pieces look alike, the heavier gauge indicates the better piece. Hand-cast pieces require more labor, have more tin content, and so are less apt to become dent ed than spun pewter. A bright, light-toned sheen indicates a superior piece of pewter because the tone proves the high tin content. Tin costs more than lead, is sturdier, and does not oxidize as easily. Pewter care is simple. Leave space between pieces because burn marks often re sult from contact. Keep pew ter away from heat since it melts easily. Its rich luster can be maintained by regular washing with hot soap or de tergent suds. Never polish an tique pewter as this ruins its natural patina. , Rogue Chapter Holds Final Quilting Party - A group from Rouge chap ter, National Federation of ica, met Monday at the home of Mrs. Elmer Gott, 542 Ivy street for the last quilting party of the summer. ! ) Assisting Mrs. Gott was Mrs. Orpha Wendell.
