r S MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Monday, August 11, 1958 New York Shop Markets Elder Craftsman's Work By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Ediior New York (LTD The rec ords show they're over 60, but their crafts on display at a unique Manhattan shop show they're young in heart. I'm talking about the sen ior citizens whose works from needle-point to wood carvings are sold through the older craftsmen shop. ''I find most of our con signors are full of vim and have more real zest for liv ing than some of the teen agers I know," said Eugenie D'Arsi, its director. Which is exactly what she and others interested in this project wanted when they op ened the shop in November, 1955. Miss D'Arsi said the idea grew from the annual New York hobby shows for older persons. There were so many who were skilled, ' it just seemed logical there should be a place for them to sell their wares. Long Time Developing "It took some of them near ly half a century to develop some of their hobbies," she said. "Once retired, there is the possibility that all the practice and creativeness will go to waste. "Through this shop, they're working toward a goal . . . they're not put on the shelf." They're also working for money. Consignors get 75 per cent of sales. The rest goes to op eration of the shop. Last year's gross was $30,000, Miss D'Arsi said, and this year it will be higher. Individual con signors earn anywhere from 55 and $10 on up. One retired banker who makes unusual brief cases earned $1,200 dur ing the peak of the Christmas shopping season last year. "One thing we insist on,' said Miss D'Arsi, "The pro duct must stand on its merit. We don't want people to buy just to be kind." The director and a volun t e e r advisory committee screen each potential new item for its quality as well as sales appeal. Some con signers bring samples direct ly to the shop. Others, the far away to come in mail samples. First In Nation Miss D'Arsi said the shop was the first in the nation to serve as outlet for hobbies of the over 60 exclusively. But it promises to be copied in other cities she has had in quiries from all parts of the country. Some 325 elderly citizens 25 per cent of them con sign a variety of products: dolls, purses, hand-painted trays; pictures done with ap plique of fabric; aprons, sam plers, wood-carvings, toys, lea ther goods, hooked rugs, Supper Planned By Mineral Club Members of Roxy Ann Gem and Mineral club will hold a potluck supper Wednesday, August 13, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Reneker. It is located in an area which is an extension of Barnett road. The club announces that the birthstone for August is sar donyx or peridot, and mem bers having specimens of these are asked to bring them to the meeting. At the last meeting of the club, Delmar Smith showed slides taken during a trip to Yellowstone park. The club display now at United States National bank is of shells from the private collection of Mr. and Mrs. J. Duckett, 32 Washington street, Medford. It replaced one from the Hodge-Podge shop of Grants Pass owned by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jacks. ysjr Q .a' Wrrx No florae no fumes no automatic, controlled heof THE CALIFORNIA OREGON POWER COMPANY needlepoint, paintings, jew elry and assorted novelty items.

Easy to make, too, using this recipe that is "cake and dessert" all in one, but with the added advantage of being divided. In other words, the flaky coconut macaroons are perfect as an accompaniment for ice cream . . . while the delicious fruit mixture may be used on cake or a hot cottage pudding.

Remove from . paper at once. Mix together applesauce, lemon juice, strawberries, and almond extract. Spoon about 14 cup filling into each serving dish, top each with a baked macaroon ring, and garnish with additional straw berries, if desired. Makes 10 to 12 servings. Ships Can-Opener Saves Woman From Time in Galley By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York (UPD The can- opener aboard the sloop Gal atea ought to have its own life-preserver. It's that important to hostess-cook Mary Conover when she and her husband, Jack, put out from Larchmont Har bor, N.Y., every week end during the sailing season. The Galatea is a 28-foot ' boat which sleeps four. And they always have guests. I'm a great promoter of canned goods," Mrs. Conover said. "They're easy to store and prepare. I don't do any cooking at home in advance." It's hard to see how she could find the time for ad vance preparations while holding a full-time executive job. "I don't need to cook at home," she explained, "be cause I have a menu system. Before each trip, I make a chart showing the complete menus, plus things to be taken from home and gro ceries to be bought." This kind of efficiency is essential for young working couples like the Conovers, who spend every week end and vacation aboard their small boat. He is executive director of the Corset and Brassiere association and she is its fashion director. Not even bad weather keeps them ashore, Mrs. Con over said, but in really rough seas, Galatea stays at anchor in harbor. And on any trip, she added, she doesn't light up the two-burner portable stove until the anchor has been dropped. An Iowa-born landlubber until three years ago, Mrs. Conover finds cooking in a tiny galley less of -a problem than making sandwiches while the craft is underway "Imagine trying to make sandwiches while you're standing a right angles in a boat that's heeling. You have to brace your feet against the bulkhead on the opposite side of the cabin," she said, laughing. Whether cooking aboard or picknicking ashore, the Con- overs keep the meals simple. Hamburgers or hot dogs at sea. and charcoal-b roiled steak on land are among their favorites. Sometime: there's also - foil-wrapped grilled corn on the cob, but most of their vegetables come from cans. Frozen foods have been shunned by this sea-going cook ever since her early sailing days when she stored some in a porta Die ice dox, only to discover the packages awash in melting ice water just before meal time. The galley chef s trick of using both parts of a double boiler to heat food has been adapted by Mrs. Conover for a drip coffee pot.

Real china? On a small boat? "Yes," said Mrs. Conover,1 and we've had no breakage in our three years. We pack things in very neatly, nesting as many dishes and cups as we can or storing them up side down." Jennings Family Returns to CJity After Vacations Dr. and Mrs. George S Jennings and their two daugh ters, the Misses Nancy and Melissa Jennings, ' have re turned to Medford after vaca tion trips. Dr. and Mrs. Jen nings were in Canada where they were a part of the Wally Byran Trailer tour of west ern Canada for four weeks, while the Misses Jennings were in the east. Miss Nancy Jennings, who taught the fourth grade in Oswego, Ore., last year, first attended the annual conven tion of National Education association in Cleveland, Ohio, before continuing east to meet her sister, a student at Brigham Young university ine two were joined by a cousin and the three young women then visited New York City, Boston, Washing ton, D.C., and other eastern cities. They attended perform ances of "The Music Man" and "Bells Are Ringing" in New York. Miss Nancy Jennings will remain here until the open ing of school in Oswego in September. Dr. and Mrs. Jennings re port that 185 trailers made up the caravan for the tour of western Canada. The travelers met at Glacier Na tional park and visited Banff, Lake Louise and made the Frasier River canyon trip. In Revelstoke they- joined the crowds which were in that city during the visit of Prin cess Margaret. For between city driving the caravan members are grouped in order that the traffic is not impeded, and most cities provide police escort through town, the. Jen nings report. The next tour planned by the trailer owners is to Africa and Europe, and those on the tour will be away for a year. The caravan represented 30 states and two Canadian provinces, and numbered about 500 persons. Small white onions take on extra flavor when cooked in boiling chicken or beef stock until almost tender. Drain and saute in melted butter or margarine, add a few ta blespoons of fresh orange juice, a pinch of salt, ground black pepper and a dash of ground mace or nutmeg.

Color Can Appear To Change-Rooms New York (UPD Women should choose paint colors to enhance their homes as they would pick clothes to flatter their figures, say decorators for the National Paint and Varnish association. The correct use of colors can make rooms appear larg er or smaller, or seem to take on a different shape. To de cide on tones, consider cur rent color trends, your own preference, the exposure, and the room's dimensions and faults. Cool colors blues and blue greens seem to recede and add a feeling of spaciousness. Warm colors the reds, yel lows, pinks and oranges give a cozy, intimate quality to large rooms. But they make small rooms seem smaller. Green is considered neither warm nor cold, but if it's a yellow-green, it is not suit able for a southwest exposure. Using this color knowledge, you. can change the apparent shape of the room. A far wall in a long, narrow white room can be painted a dustry-rose to make the room appear square. Deep colors have the "advancing" quality of warm colors, so painting the ceiling of a green room in a deeper green tone would make the ceiling appear lower. , Add white to paint used on window walls to make them seem lighter. Window walls do not reflect light and so appear darker. Ceilings, most often painted white for greater reflection and height, also should reflect some wall color. Add a tint of the wall hue. Contrasts Lightness or darkness of color is accentuated by con trast with adjoining colors White will seem whiter against a deep hue, and vice versa. Colors also are affect ed by lighting, so study a painted sample in daylight and at night. If you plan to paint one wall to match drapery fabric, remember that a rough-tex tured fabric has depth. When draped, this material will ap pear deeper in color than a smooth, flat-surfaced paint. Therefore, choose a paint col or that appears deeper In tone than the fabric. Smooth-surfaced fabrics are the opposite. Glazed chintzes will reflect light, so the color of the fabric will appear lighter. Another trick is to paint the baseboard to match wall to-wall carpeting. This adds visually to floor area. An "all - over" treatment also gives the illusion .of space. Paint fireplace, door frames, window and other trim in the same shade as the walls. Remember that color, when seen in a large area, appears more intense than the same color in a small paint chip or color sample. Try painting a piece of wallboard and mov ing the piece around the room to make sure the hue blends with the rest of the furnish- TALKING long distance from Beverly Hills, Calif., Actress Marilyn Monroe hears that husband has been acquitted of contempt of Congress by appeal court.
