2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, January , 1939 Senator Cooks as Hobby; Has Uncluttered Kitchen Br HOSE McKEE Washington (CPU The hob-; by of Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-La.), is cooking, but you would never know it walking into his kitchen after he has served a three-course dinner. For the cook among the Senate's members achieves what most women always in tend to do but never quite bring off. He washes all pots, pans and other utensils even down to a paring knife, as he cuts, stirs, and smells. What's more, he. washes the dishes as they come from the table between courses. Senator Ellender was asked by the National Association of Home Builders what a man who cooks considers essential Daughters Conduct Ceremony Cave Junction Miss Car inel White - was installed queen of Bethel ?8, Interna tional Order of Job's Daugh ters, in ceremonies held De cember 29 at the Kerby school gymnasium.

Carter,- 82 J East Jackson st. in a kitchen. His wants were simple: "A good stove so you can regulate the heat is essential to me. I like a kitchen where the working table, the refrig erator, the stove and supplies are close together so you don't have to walk far. "But to me the most es sential thing is to keep the kitchen clean. I like to-wash things as I go along and get rid of all refuse, such as shrimp shells or other peel ings. I don't want things to pile up." The senator's kitchen is much like his senatorial desk; both are uncluttered. He said that if his desk "is not organ ized, my mind doesn't tick well-having things neat helps you think more clearly." Likes Tidy Kitchen In the same way, he said, a tidy kitchen has a good effect on the cook." By washing the dishes as they come from the table, he gives his guests time to chat and get ready for the next course. Usually, some of the senator's guests roll up their sleeves and help with the be- tween-course clearing and washing. A widower, he has no domestic help. He gives a series of din ners each winter for some of his colleagues and members of the Washington press corps. As one who has been amcsg the guests on several occa sions, I can say there is party fun both in the kitchen and at the bridge tables in the living room where his won drous jambalaya and other good dishes are served. Senator Ellender is the only passenger as far as he knows to have cooked a complete dinner on a plane flying 15,- 000 feet over the Pacific, He was on a round-the-world trip with several other sena tors a few years ago and he cooked chicken spaghetti with supplies he bought during a stop at Guam. Cooks on Plan The two stewards on the plane were dubious about his1 culinary ability until they had j seen him render a few slices of bacon, fry onions, and make a roux. But once things began smelling good, they were convinced. One said, Senator, it is sure funny how folks like to do things they don't have to do." A card game had been in progress during the ' flight Since the card table wa$ near the galley, Ellender continued playing a handoff and soon as he cooked the dinner. It took him four and one-half hours but the 19 men on the plane devoured everything but the chicken bones and pronounced it delightful. The senator finds cooking a relaxation. He does the shop ping as well as all the other preparation of the meals. He is noted in Washington for his Louisiana Creole dishes. His recipe for jambalaya fol lows: Jambalaya Recipe t Basic sauce 3 slices bacon, small piece smoked ham (about three ounces, diced), 1 rounded teaspoon flour, - 2 pounds onions chopped fine, 1 lemon (use grated rind, then remove white pulpy mem brane and chop rest of lemon), 3 pods garlic, a few dashes each of Worcestershire sauce, tabasco, thyme, 2 bay leaves, salt to taste. Fry the fat out of the bacon, remove bacon. Then fry the ham scraps. To the hot fat now add flour and brown, stirring constantly, to make scorchy tasting browned roux. Add the onions, fry slowly un til well browned and reduced to pulp. Add the rest of the ingredients and continue to cook slowly for at least half an hour. Senator Ellender uses this basic sauce for a number of dishes. For the jambalaya, he adds one-half can tomato sauce (not paste nor whole tomatoes), 3 pints oysters, 3 cups rice, onion tops and pars ley chopped fine (about a handful, mixed together). The Senator's directions continue: "Add tomato sauce and oy ,sters to basic sauce and cook thoroughly. Now add rice, chopped onion tops and pars ley. Add enough water to make sure you have at least two cups liquid in the pot for each cup of rice. Stir and mix thoroughly until mixture comes to a boil. Now cover tightly and lower flame to simmer. Cook for about 30 minutes, stirring lightly two or three times during cooking. Test rice to be sure it is thor oughly done at the end of the 30-minute period. The recipe will serve from 8 to 12 people." Dancing Class Is Announced For Beginners Square dance instructions for beginners will open Thurs day, January 8 at 8 p.m. at the Old Wagner Creek school.

Institute Shouldn't Skip Best Dressed Working Girl By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor 1 New York - (UPD - Nobody asked me but it's high time that annual lists of best-dressed females included one girl perennially ignored. She's the American work in? girl, who manages a maxi mum of chic on a minimum of cash. Each year, yours truly is among those 2,500 persons asked by the New York Dress Institute to vote on women we think rate special attention as clothes horses. And each year, some of us faithfully cite the white collar girl. But the results of the campaign have been nil - so far. Looking over the 1958 list which came out this week, I find it's made up of the usual bluebloods, actresses and oth ers of such substantial means that if they aren't beautifully gowned, they should change couturiers. Well Turned Out Now don't misunderstand. I'm not suggesting that Mrs. Winston Guest doesn't belong. She always looks well turn ed out, but she also can af ford a wardrobe from Main- bocher Or the Duchess of Windsor, who is dressed by Balenciaga, Dior, Mainbocher and Desses. Or Audrey Hepburn, who goes to Hubert de Givency of Paris for most of her cos tumes. Okay, let these gals reign as queens of the fashion Institute, can't we just one year give a little recognition to Susie Smith, although her clothes come from the budget section of the Bon Ton instead of a Paris salon? One of those "best dressed" will spend on one ball gown the equivalent of Susie's whole yearly clothes allow ance. But Susie also looks smart, and she's worked hard er at it. Soap, Water and Energy You'll see what I mean just by walking along Fifth, Ave nue in New York, or the main drag of any city anywhere, on a work day. Secretaries, receptionists, clerks, sales girls - most look as if they just stepped from a bandbox. They ve learned that one basic dress plus a few acces sory changes becomes a whole wardrobe; that it costs noth ing to keep hosiery seams straight, skirt hems even. It takes only soap, water and energy to keep blouses, gloves, collars and cuffs im maculate. And Susie may dream of a new suit from Balenciaga, but the three-year-old one she bought on sale still looks smart because her "find" had classic lines. The hat came from a hat bar, but the way she wears it, who could tell it doesn't carry a "name" label inside. So here is a salute to the chic of the working girl. She's on my best-dressed list, even if she didn't make the official world. But please, dear Dress? one this year. Heart Surgery Fund Increase To Be Sought Washington, D.C. The new Congress will be urged to approve as quickly as pos sible a supplemental appro priation of 81,500,000 to re plenish funds for lifesaving heart surgery in children, the secretary of health, educa tion, and welfare, Arthur S. Fleming, has announced. The high cost of surgery in children suffering from con genital heart conditions and increasing demands for such surgery have exhausted funds available to support state programs for the current fis cal year. The number of chil dren with congenital heart disease who receive medical services under State crip pled children's programs has increased from 2,200 in 1950 to 10,000 in 1957. Under the overall state federal medical care program for crippled children, states are required to provide $1 for each $2 provided by the federal government. If the proposed appropriation is ap proved, it would mean that there would be an additional $2,250,000 for treatment of heart defects in the young. New surgical techniques, particularly "open heart" sur gery, are too costly for most families to handle unaided. The immediate cost of the average open heart operation is about $2,500. This includes all hospital and medical care costs, diagnostic preparation, and the use of a number of expensive machines.
