Oregon, Tuesday, October 14. 1958 Director Uses Compromise Version of Broadway Play Audiences for the first fall production of the Footlighters hava a slight surprise in store, according to director Frank Biichter. The play is "The Solid Gold Cadillac," and the only version that has appear ed in the valley to date is the movie, starring Judy Holliday as the scatter-brained blonde heroine.

For the oven method use 3 pounds of venison or beef, salt to- taste, M teaspoon liquid smoke more or less as desired), pepper to taste. Remove all fat from the meat ara slice it very thin.

Place the strips layer upon layer in a large crock or bowl, and lightly pepper eacA layer as stacked. Allow to stand at least six hours or overnight.; To dry, remove oven racks and stretch strips of meat across racks, allowing pieces of meat to touch but not over lap. Be sure to allow enough Uncovered space on racks for good oven circulation. Place the racks back into the oven so that the upper rack is at least four inches from the top of the oven and the lower one at least four inches from the bottom. Set the Oven tem perature at 150, and dry meat for about 11 hours. Meat left in the oven Overnight from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., should be dry. True Jerky For true venison jerkey cut lean venison into convenient eating pieces about 1 to 1V4 inches thick, and . four to six inches long. More tender cuts make better jerky, but any cuts can be used. Loin, round and flank are recommended. Prepare a brine of VA pounds salt to a gallon of water in a granite or stone crock. Add meat. Weight with a plate or polyethylene so that all pieces are under the brine. Allow to stand at least 12 hours.

When completely dry, the meat is ready to use or store. , - Stored in airtight contain ers, jerky should keep indef initely. Bedrooms Ignored By Families When Improvements Start New York -ffJPD Bedrooms get a lot of attention from novelsts, but they're practi cally ignored when families go on a home-improvement binge. More than half, of the 80, 000 home - owning families who entered the recent "how is your home" contest, spon sored by the Home Improve ment Council, fessed up to that fact. Council experts say that bedroom-ignoring stems from the fact that the living areas are a "front" enjoyed by the entire family and visitors. When they get around to it, many Of the contest en trants wish to carpet their bedrooms, add furniture, clos et equipment and electric blankets. Many fondly wish for air conditioning.

From HOLLYWOOD Introducing . . .v "ROMA LIND FRENCH FORMULA COSMETICS" NEW SCIENTIFIC SKIN CARE Free Facial Demonstrations Soon Reviewer Finds Dancers Artists Extraordinary By Richard D. Werner Jackson County Civic Music association lost no time in launching its 1958-59 season, with last night's first offering coming only two days after the close of the membership drive. And a most delightful first offering, "A World of Danc ing" with Carola Goya ' and Matteo, and Raymond Sachse as musical director and pian ist. Unless there is a return engagement of this pair, it will be a long time before we see such dancing again. They are not just another dance act-far from it. Artists to their fingertips - choreo graphic masters - and panto mimists extraordinary, and with all, highly original. The opening number, "On the Bridle Path"-in two parts, "The Encounter" and "The Rendezvous," set the style and tone of the whole pro gram. Utilizing a typical step of Spanish dancing, the, heel stomp, to depict the move ments of a pair of mounts, was truly original and fas cinating. Matteo made very illuminat Japanese Have (Editor's Note: UPI Wom en's Editor Gay Pauley, on a voyage of discovery in the Far East, reports today how she found there's a little bit of "West Virginia" in Japanese living.) . By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor Tokyo-(UPD-Let them kid us natives of West Virginia about going shoeless. . . Fellow . .mountaineers, we and the Japanese have the right idea. Such comfort, be ing barefoot! Such dirt-free homes and restaurants be cause the collections on street and sidewalk never are car ried in! And, such sheer joy, simply to wiggle the tootsies and throw away the confines of pointed toes . and pivoting heels! Not once in my stay in Ja pan have I heard a native woman complain, "Oh, my aching feet." It was I, in heels, who had the problem until the Japanese re-educated me. I haven't been so comfortable since childhood; not since childhood have the feet been so carefree. Centuries Old Custom The Japanese custom of shedding footgear before even stepping into the entrance way is centuries old, but this one female recommends that all civilizations copy. I'm no foot doctor, but I figure we Western women would have fewer corns, bunions, fallen arches and wrinkles in the forehead. ... Actually the Japanese don't go around the house or res taurant with their feet in the altogether. Nor do they wear stockings or soft bedroom type slippers ' at home. The traditional footcover is called the "tabi," a soft cotton pull on sock with a division for the big toe. - ; ' The tabi-usually white for women, navy for men-reaches just above the ankle and is fastened at the back by hooks. Above the tabi. the legs are bare-which is warm enough with the long kimono, but might get a little airy with Western length skirts in win ter. The Japanese put on heav ier tabi come cool Weather. Not only is the tabi a lux ury for the feet, it's easier on the floor. The typical Japa nese home has floors covered with "tatami," a soft-surfaced but thick straw mat. . Spike heels would make shreds of tatami in a few hours. ' The Western guest in a Jap anese house drops shoes but doesn't necessarily don tabi. One thing was pointed out to me early-it's a faux pas to set New Sauce . A spaghetti sauce mix makes it possible to blend, spices, herbs and dried vege tables in 10 minutes.. The mix may be used on any Italian dish requring a tomato base sauce, plus low-cost dishes such as macaroni loaf, meat loaf and Swiss steak. ' Whole pimientos go well with avocados. Fill one pim iento pod with mashed avo cado seasoned with salt,' pep per,' lemon juice, and Wor cestershire sauce. Or line an avocado half with pimiento and fill with tuna or crab meat salad. " ing remarks regarding the dances of various countries which they performed, and we are sure the audience ap preciated them. The-, dances then became ever , so much more interesting. An outstanding feature was the castanet playing of Goya -superb virtuosity, and .Mat teo was not far. behind... Although it seemed as if Matteo was more versatile, he doing Spanish, Italian, In dian . and Scottish dances, Goya was equally so in Span ish, Polynesian, Gypsy and Javanese. In all, r. the two dancers flowed . across the stage effortlessly,' in perfect accord and timing and with a technique that belied tech nique. : In this very well balanced program, $he two comedy numbers - "When the Schot tische was the Rage of Eu rope" and the Japanese "dope" and his fat lady, were most refreshing. Mr. Sachse performed no tably on a miniature ' piano, with insufficient keyboard. It all ended too soon-we Would have enjoyed another hour of the same. Right Idea shoe-clad foot on a Japanese floor. Incidentally shoe horns are standard equipment at all front entrances. The tabi fits easily into the footwear the Japanese put on for outdoor wear. This is call ed "geta," a clog-like shoe made of a piece of wood, with a couple of cross supports un derneath. A thong passes through a hole in the forward part of the clog, and to this is attached a couple of orna mental cords whose ends are fastened across the arch, to each side of the wood.
