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."

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." O.S.

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.
The graceful hands seen do-

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. ,

3 tablespoons of butter and
simmer slowly over low heat.
Add the cooked vegetables
and cook for 10 minutes, turn
ing frequently so all gides will
be shiny. The vegetables can
