(Knackstedt photo) VFW Auxiliary Sponsors Classroom Helper Plan By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York d'PD Teacher's newest pet is the classroom helper, a woman volunteer who takes over schoolroom chores other than instructing. This fall, some 8,000 of these women volunteers will go back to school for at least three hours each week, in a unique program sponsored by the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The auxiliary originated the project last year, said Mrs. Ray Godbey, of Lyn wood, Calif., the national president. Mrs. Godbey is in town for the auxiliary's 45th annual convention. She said the program has one major aim to free an over-worked teacher from some of the non-teaching jobs and leave her more time for educating tomorrow's citizens. Cast Announced For 'Little Hut' Redding, Calif. Lawrence Berger leads the cast for the Bridge Bay Summer theater production of "The Little Hut." The play opens August 19 and continues through August 24. It is described as a brightly sophisticated play oy Andre Roussin. Also in the cast are Kay Hutchinson and William Browder, as well as two local residents, Loren "Wilbur and Lee Johnson. Families Spend Week on Coast Mr. and Mrs. Gerald La tham and two daughters, Lynn and Julie, 815 Park street, and Mr. and Mrs. Mark Tay lor and son, Gregory, 1925 Westerlund drive spent a vacation last week on the Oregon coast. The families re gistered at Currier Village, and from there made trips to other points along the coast. They spent one day deep sea fishing. : Alaskan Guest . a At r-mdley Home Wilfred C.

The Pprshalls formerlv livpd " in Bartjesville, Okla. , and Bonnie Cheney, 14, spon The "pilot" project opened last October in Kansas City schools, with 21 women volun teers. By year's end, it had spread to all parts of the na tion. Serve Without Pay Volunteers in Illinois gave nearly 4,300 hours; in Ne braska, 3,700; in North Caro lina, 3,400; in Ohio, 1,600. All told, some 4,000 women volunteered 37,000 hours. "This year, we expected to double the number of help ers," said Mrs. Godbey, in an interview. "The greatest need so far has been in the rural areas," she said. "But we have work ers . for wherever they . are asked." The usual procedure is for the local VFW to let the school know workers are available, but wait to be asked to help. ' ' But Mrs. Godbey said there are exceptions in New Mex ico, one parent worried about her own little girl crossing the street en route to class so asked if she could serve as "cop" on the corner for the whole school. Volunteers pledge them selves not to take pay and to perform "without comment or question the tasks assigned to me by the teacher or school administrator." Perform Many Duties These assignments may in clude taking attendance records, collecting money for milk or hot lunch, helping young children with hats, coats and galoshes, passing oujt and collecting work ma terial, helping in the library. Helpers guide young chil dren to playgrounds, tidy up the classroom, answer tele phones, do typing or run dup licating machines in school offices. In some cases, they've also been asked to chaperone dances. She said the project has ap proval of leading educators and the National Education association. Apparently it also has the sanction of the children. Mrs. Godbey said volunteers now find themselves being treated to apples, or other gifts, just like teacher. She told of one worker who said her reward for the hours given came when a six-year-old came up to her and pre sented a prize rock from his collection. "Next to my teacher, I like you best," he said: Hearty Salad New York (LTD For a cool but hearty salad, serve chilled wedges of watermelon on in dividual salad plates, along with slices of ham rolled and filled with seasoned cottage cheese. Packaged caramels melted with a dash of cream, or milk, make a nice quick sauce for puddings and deserts. . West Side Girls Give Horse Show Two girls living in the west side area near Medford recently staged a neighbor hood horse show for children their third show. The girls, Linda Smith, 15, and Bonnie Cheney, 14, both enjoy riding and three years ago decided td invite other youngsters in the West side district to take part in a show. The first event turned out so well that two others followed. The third community ev ent, called the Rogue Hill Horse show, had 19 partici pating children from the area. An entry fee of 10 cents was charged for each event entered and that, together with the proceeds from the re freshment stand, paid for the cost of the ribbons and the trophy presented the all around horseman for the year. Free soft drinks were also provided all contestants. Announcer for the event was Charles Shinn with Fred Beck, -Robert Kagy and T. R. Florey, judges. Sandra Crou cher received the best horse man trophy. In charge of the refresh ment stand were Terry Wine trout, John Gates, and Brian Porter. Christine Bartels col lected the fees and gave out the programs. New' Day Lilies Program Topic For Garden Club Central Point Mrs. Clem Ault talked on lilies at the last meeting of Central Point Garden club, held at the home of Mrs. John Holmer, Old Stage road. Co-hostesses were Mrs. R. D. Kay and Mrs. Wal lace West. Mrs. Ault spoke of new and unusual lillies, including the day lily. She described many varieties and named some. of the newer ones. Mrs. Ault stated that Oregon has a num ber of well-known1 lily hy bridizers, including Boyd Kline, -Medford. Members held a plant sale to boost the treasury, and then went to the home of Paul Lofland on Grant road they were inspected the many varieties of dahlias which he is raising. Members were asked to participate in the flower show to be held at the county fair which opens Thursday, Au gust 21. Mrs. W. B. Kincaid was awarded a corsage, and other prizes went to Mrs. Hol mer and Mrs. Avis Weisell. Guests were Mrs. Ray Kelly, Griffin Creek and Mrs. who is visiting, her sister, Mrs. Ault. Mrs. Holmer had prepared a number of flower arrange home for the event. Pickle Failure Causes Outlined by Technologist Corvallis Pickle "fail ures" can be avoided through use of correct ingredients careful measurement, good cu cumbers and recommended temperatures, says an Oregon State college expert. Dr. H. Y. Yang, food tech nologist, recommends reliable recipes and a little knowledge of chemistry as he outlines some common pickling prob lems and their causes. Soft or slippery pickles are probably caused by a pickling solution that does not contain enough salt or vinegar, or vinegar that is too weak. Sometimes some of the cucum ber flower is picked with the cucumbers, and gets into the pickling solution and destroys the cucumber pectin. The flower contains enzymes or substances that destroy the ''firming material" in pickles. Softness may also be caused when the brine does not com pletely cover all the pickles. Floating a plate on the sur face of the brine will keep pickles submerged. Use of excess vinegar, salt or sugar may cause pickles to shrivel. Overcooking or cook ing above recommended tem peratures also causes shrivel ing. According to Yang, many picklemakers are confused when strong, medium or weak brine solutions are specified in recipes. A strong solution usually contains ZVz cups of salt to a gallon of water, and a medium or weak solution contains IVz cups salt to a gallon of water. Hollow Pickles Hollow pickles are the re sult of hollow cukes, Yang says. Usually cukes are hollow if they have not been watered enough during growth. If too much time passes between time cukes are picked and pickled, cukes also dry out, Yang says. Cukes should be pickled with 24 hours after they are picked. "Pink" pickles are caused by impurities from the dill weed. Yang recommends a new dill concentrate that evenly distributes the dill i . . . Sandra Croucher, 15, daughter of the S. M. Crouch ers, won high honors in the third annual horse show giv en recently for young people of the West Side district. The show, sponsored by Linda Smith and Bonnie Cheney, is entirely a neighborhood event. (Knackstedt photo). Little Melissa Watson and her horse. Deacon, were the youngest and oldest entrants in the recent annual horse show for children of the West Side district. Melissa is 7 years old the horse is 32. Melissa's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Richard Watson.

Three members of the Cen tral Point Jaycettes were guests. flavor without color changes. "Scum," caused by "wild" yeasts and molds present in air may form on the surface of pickles. If scum has already formed it should be removed, and the pickles tightly cov ered to keep out air. Yang sug gests that polyethylene film be used as an airtight cover ing for the pickles. Here's how. Cut a piece of film larger than the opening of the con tainer. Push film down so it contacts the surface of the brine. Float some brine on top of film to hold it in place. Choose main pickling in gredients salt, water and vinegar carefully. Plain salt, with nothing added, is recom mended. Iodized or table salt contains additives that pre vent lumping which may in terfere with the pickling ac tion. Hard water neutralizes the acid that is caused by the pickling process, Yang says. For hard water areas, water softener or alum 'may . be added to water supplies. One teaspoonful of alum to a gal lon of water is suggested. Water softener may be added according to directions on the box. Cider Vinegar Good Use cider vinegar for. most pickling. White vinegar, how ever, helps retain whiteness of such vegetables as onions and cauliflower and is also cheaper. Vinegars containing 3 to 5 per cent acetic acid are recommended for pickling. Sometimes, Yang says, strength of vinegar is listed in grains, 10 grains equal 1 per cent acetic acid, 50 grains equal 5 per cent. For large amounts of pick les, kitchen scales are handy to measure salt or sugar. One pound of salt is IV2 cups. Maintain even temperatures on pickles stored in crocks, Yang advises. Protect pickles' against extreme temperature changes by storing in a base ment where temperatures are usually even or place some type of insulating material around container. Is Ashland Woman Works in France For Red Cross Stuttgart, Germany Dixie Deane McCulloch, Ashland, Ore., arrived at the European headquarters of the American Red Cross here on July 21. and has been assigned to the Red Cross recreation center at Nancy, France as a re creation worker. Her assignment was an nounced by Robert S. Wilson, American Red cross director of operations for Europe and North Africa. , Miss McCulloch, the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph D. McCulloch, of 397 Terrace, Ashland, is a graduate of. the Southern Oregon college at Ashland. She served with' the American Red Cross" from 1951 to 1952 and after rejoin ing the organization in 1956 has been stationed in" Korea and Japan. As a recreation worker at the Red Cross center, she will assist volunteers explore local resources and plan leisure time activities for ' JJ.S. ' Ser vicemen and their families, in this way helping develope a better understanding between the local population and the American servicemen. The center at Nancy is one of seven at selected locations in France and North Africa which were opened at the re quest of the military to in crease opportunities for off duty recreation for members of the U.S. armed forces and their dependents. 1 Uncooked Peach Jam Said Good, Thrifty Corvallis Frozen Deach jam that requires no cooking otters an easy, toothsome, and thrifty way to make use of the abundant Oregon peach crop. Home economics extension specialists at Oregon State college provide this recipe. It makes 9 six-ounce classes. Ingredients: 3 cups crushed peaches (or 2V2 pounds); 5 cups sugar: 1 package dow- dered pectin; 1 cup water. To prepare tne fruit, wash and drain peaches, remove pits, skins and crush. To make the jam,' measure 3 CUDs of crushed Deachps into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, mix well, and let stand for 20 minutes, stirring occa sionally. Dissolve nectin in water. and bring to a boil. Boil for one minutes. Add pectin solu tion to the fruit-and-sugar mixture, and stir for two min utes. ; Ladle the jam into glasses or into suitable freezer con tainers leaving Vz inch space at the top. Cover the con tainers and let stand for 24 to 48 hours, or until jam has set. Then cover with a thin layer of hot paraffin. Store some of the uncooked jam in the refrigerator for use within the next few months, and freeze the rest, specialists advise. If jam is left at room tem perature it will mold or fer ment in a short time. Once a container is opened the jam should be kept in the refriger ator and used within a few days.

I've beento the super-mercato. Two years ago, I saw here a demonstration of American supermarkets at a fair. Now, there are at least two of them, operating successfully. There was another one a beautiful place,, which you entered by gomg down wide, white mar ble steps between shrubbery which was lighted from under neath. It was complete with rows of neat cans and jars, wire carts and pretty girls at adding machines. But there were no customers. We felt so conspicuous as we clatter ed about," that we bought a few items to be polite. We were not surprised to notice a month later that it was closed. Even to us, it was obvious that the psychology of the location was wrong. It was on a fashionable street, in a shopping district. For years, Italian women have taken their string bags out to buy the food for the day never more than one day. They go to the vegetable stands and buy a few tomatoes, and three or four potatoes; they go to the spaghetti, rice and maca roni store; to the b.-ead shop and the meat shop. They meet their friends and visit. That is a far fling from a modern supermarket. But the super market idea does seem to be catching on, as there are crowds of customers in the two stores I've seen. Ladies Don't Shop Of coure, only servants and poor people do their buying. The lady of the house does not know the tempting goodies to be had just by reaching out and clutching. There is that supermarket psychology you see, and so buy items which in show windows you might pass by. The advantage to me is that the prices are marked so that the Americans can't be charged more than the rest of the world. A young woman told me that because they overcharge the Americans so much, she has her maid do the buying and thereby saves enough to pay her wages. The markets carry almost everything we do at home. No milk, however, although there is every kind of drinks liqueurs, gin, whisky and wines. American coffee, in half pound tins, sells for $1.50 a pound. You can buy ham burger meat for 70 cents a pound, and boiling beef for- 55 cents. The greatest innovation for the Romans is the frozen food department. (That I re member drew the biggest crowds at the fair. Women had never seen the like of it.) I wonder, though, how it would work, as few ordinary people have refrigerators. Sur prisingly, the super-mercato has delivery service. If you ask to Ijave something deliv ered at a certain time, it is delivered free of charge. Customs Differ Customs in eating, among Europeans, differ from ours as much as does their shop ing and our methods of do ing things are equally as curious and foreign to them as theirs are to us. When I remarked to a Frenchwoman that I bacame very hungry before our 8 o'clock dinner, she said. "Oh, I suppose you! do, Americans eat very early, don t you? Seven o'clock?" Then she inquired more about our eating habits. She had heard that we eat out of doors, and I decided that she had heard we have barbecues and terraces. Of course, all Europeans think it amusing that Amer U if!

Coffee, here, is served after dinner in the salon. Europeans can spot Americans by the way they handle their knives and forks which I think they consider very awk ward, as we do their way of handling theirs. The average meal in Rome consists of four courses, and they follow consistently the same pattern. The first course is a pasta heavenly, fatten ing pasta of creamed stuff in patty shells, or lasagna, or spaghetti. The second course is meat, a vegetable and a lettuce salad. Then comes, al ways, three or four choices of their good cheese, and follow ing that, is the fruit of the season. For this dinner you use four sets of knives and forks, four plates and a finger bowl. Like Sweets Italians do not eat cakes and pies for dessert, but con- sume great quantities of sug-j ary stuff between meals. They also eat tons of ice cream, which they buy and bolt down at their ubiquitous bars and cafes. It is said that Italian ice cream is the best in the world, and I go along with that. It is so temptingly dis played in clean, big glass cases, as to be irresistible to an addict. Large pans, of all colors and flavors, sit open under the glass. Then, in oth er cases, are arranged on little silver platters, such delectable stuff, in such ar tistic patterns, that it is no wonder the customers are there all day and half the night. Crowds stand ready with their tickets (you must pay first, and get a slip be fore you are given the gelato as the Italians call ice cream.) If you wish to stand while you eat, you pay probably 24 cent. But if you sit on a chair and one really should to appreciate such gourmet food the price ups to as high as 75 cents. Often .1 am diverted in Rome while on my way to some definite spot. I was, rec ently, when I passed a little corner shop on a quiet street, and saw "Dairy Queen" on a sign. For a second, I couldn't think why it looked queer. Naturally, I could not pass that by without sampling, and it was the same soft, gooey recipe as the one used on Central avenue. As there was no one in the shop but me, I imagine it is not very pup- ular. Girls were also frying doughnuts in real Groceteria fashion. And re doughnuts at the Episcopal church last Sunday I offered two East Indians, at the coffee hour, American doughnuts, explain ing that they were American pastries. They laughed and said, "Oh, we know these. We have them in India. We have also learned to bake Amer ican cakes." I do not know why it pleased me, unless it is that among Italians, there seems to be so little desire for our food products, or typical American dishes. Despite the hundreds of thousands of Americans living, having lived, or visited here, there isn't any indication that any one ever heard of Boston baked beans, baked apples or pancakes, excepting in a couple of phoney "American bars." Red is back for little boys. Look for lots of bright red m pants, shirts, and jackets. The red often is combined with navy and gray in tiny herringbone, striped, or plaid patterns. ?, sea rniMtuaa' appeanafHi "MMTHEE COVWTT" m MGM Camera 65 rrirtky Tdn inter " IMIywott Dial S- Chic secret blend of 8 choice grai and 8 vegetable flours car rots, spinach, kelp, lettuce, pumpkin, cabbage, celery, parsley this nourishing bread fortifies your diet with essential protein, carbohy drates, vitamins, minerals.

More than 4.000 young people from several western states and Canada took part, he states. Keith Bakshas, 14,' took first place in the qualified solo division, and fourth in the open solo division. Sharon Roberts and Lea Padgett placed second in the duet di vision, and .Marilyn Ernest placed third in the qualified division for 14-year-olds. Mr. Muzzioli's band placed fifth in the senior band divis ion. The instructor reports that the band, which plays "swing" music, , was the ob ject of considerable curiosity among the judges, since the other band entries all played symDhonic. band or .- folk music. So favorably impressed were the judges, it was de cided to create a separate division for accordion swing bands for the next annual contest, and Mr. Muzzioli had reauests for his arrangements. More than, 100 judaes worked in connection with the contest, the teacher reports. The trio south for the con test, held, in the municipal auditorium in Long Beach, was sponsored by the Milk Producers' league of the coun ty and several dairies. A bus was chartered for the trip, and Mr. and Mrs. Merlin Harvey, Medford, and Mr. and Mrs,, James Edge, Eagle Point. were chaperones. Mr. and Mrs. Muzzioli made the trip south by private car. .
