Maria Callas Sings At Carnegie Hall New York -IUPD- Maria Cal las made a so-so operatic comeback at Carnegie hall Tuesday night but celebrity and socialite fans gave her a welcome worthy of a queen Mme. Callas looked stun- I ning in a slim white Italian - gown with a rose satin stole. She was in fairly good voice - and had the support of a ; strong cast. She had an audi ; ence that believed she could do no wrong. All she needed was an opera house. But without the Metropoli . tan Opera stage at her dispos- ; al, Mme. Callas had to make 2 do in a concert version of op Z era - without costumes, stage sets, or real action except for a lew gestures, inis can reauy hold a diva of Mme. Callas' : dramatic talents down. , I Nearly 3,000 Callas - wor - shippers heard their idol for the first time locally since the - Met's Rudolf Bing locked her out for breach of contract last ! year. Bing was not among 1 those paying $25 a ticket , to '. hear Callas' first appearance ! with the American Opera so Z ciety. 2 Almost no one present was familiar with the opera, Bel- lini's "The Pirate," because it ; hasn't been performed in the i United States since the 1840's.

Others will be gladly ; received for exhibit in connec ( tion with book displays, ac cording to members of the junior department staff, Miss Rosemary Stevenson and Mrs. Cynthia McKay. Meat Consumption Has Direct Ratio To Income Level Washington-fDPU-Total meat consumption is tied to family income level, according to . the Agriculture Department's Marketing service. - "The more they earned, the more they ate-and the more ; they spent for it," said the de . partment, reporting on a sur vey of meat-buying habits of families. No matter what the income " most families, especially city ; folks, tend to eat compara- tively less pork than beef. Lots of lamb on the menu t is an indication that Pop brings home much bacon-the - long, green kind. ; 1 The protective coating of - wax nature supplies to an ; apple helps the fruit retain t moisture, minimizes wrin : kling. Store apples in a cool 2 place or in your refrigerator and don't polish them until ready to use. Wednesday, January 28, 1 959 Westward Ho Theme of Show Cave Junction - "Westward Ho" is to be the Centennial theme for the annual flower show sponsored by the Illi nois Valley Garden club. The show is scheduled for June 13, according to plans laid at the January meeting of the club held last Friday in Im- manuel M e t hodist church. Mrs. John Smith and Mrs. James Payne were named co- chairmen for the event. Jack Frost, Wilderville, lectured for the group on the cultural aspects of orchid growing. There are 16.000 species of the plant, according to Frost, and they grow in any climate except the Arctic regions and the Sahara desert. Colored slides taken from or chid shows in California and from Frost's own range in Wilderville accompanied the lecture. Arrangements to continue the landscaping program for the high school grounds were made. Plans for the project include the removal of some of the older plants and the plotting of new replacements. The work is scheduled to start as soon as weather conditions permit.

New Hats Worn Level Or Tipped United Press International Spring hats are designed to wear level or tipped back on the head. Some styles have a decided tilt, worn at provoca tive angles. The Millinery Creaters of America, a group of 17 designers, shows wide, floppy brimmed picture hats which give two different ef fects. depending on the angle They hide the face when worn straight or frame the face in a youthful manner, dipping to the shoulder in back, when tilted. Veils are in abundance swathing evening hats, ob scuring the face in a cloud, or falling from brim to neck line in harem fashion. These long Turkish veils often are trimmed at the bottom with fabric matching trim on the hat or with colored flowers, resembling a boa which falls around the shoulders. Look for the Miss in misr siles, say engineers with a Milwaukee metal spinning firm, which manufactures rocket parts. They noticed a marked similarity between shapes of fashions and the rockets. For example, the trapeze look, popular last year, is re peated in the conical spinning which forms part of the Hon est John missile. The chemise, another 1958 style, looks like the cylinder that forms the first part of many missile spinnings. And the sheath, back in fashion this year, re sembles a nozzle component from another missile. The women in white now can wear mix-n-match uni forms. Skirts fasten to blouses by means of the new nylon adhesive closure (V e 1 c r o). Thus blouses cannot pull out, giving a messy appearance. The uniform separates come in white slub - textured Dac ron. Skirts are wrap-around style, with a single patch pocket. Blouses have keep V seaming in front and cuffed cap sleeves. (Miss White of New York.) Mohair shows from the skin-side out these days. Im portant for fall were the big, colorful mohair coats and mohair-blend sweaters. Now Paris is turning out mohair sportswear and lounging items for mid-winter. One style is a white, loosely-knit mohair combination negligee and tea gown with pink satin drawstrings and bows. The shawl collar stands away from the neck, the waistline is raised, sleeves are three-quarter length, and but tons open down the front. Jacques Heim shows an after-ski outfit of amethyst velveteen Knee -length tights with high, boned corselet top. A pale yellow mohair dress slips over the ensemble. He suggests ribbed knitted wool stockings, worn with velve teen flats to complete the cos tume. Plastic Bag Care New York - (UPD - Polyethy lene bags, used to store gar ments, should not be sealed. Differences in temperatures inside and outside the bag can cause moisture condensation. This may lead to mildew or rust stains from metal trim or pins. s A a Four musicians who have played together for 30 years as the Griller String quartet, will give a concert here Friday, January 30, for Jackson County Civic Music association. The musicians, Sidney Griller, first violin; Jack O'Brien, second violin; Philip Burton, viola and Colin Hampton, cello, will appear at the Medford High school auditorium with the pro gram set for 8 p.m. The Griller quartet has played through out England, Europe, the United States and Canada. King George VI honored Sidney Griller in making him a Com mander of the Order of the British Empire, the first chamber music artist to be so honored, and in 1953 the quartet took part in the Coronation Concerts. The four men are now the quartet in residence at the University of California. In addi tion to the university work and concert appearances, the Griller quartet has made many phonograph recordings. Federal Bureau Studies Problem of Child Care Washington, D. C- Nearly 400,000 children under 12 have to care for themselves while their mothers work, and 138,000 of these children are less than 10 years old, Mrs. Katherine B. Oettinger, Chief of the Children's Bureau, said today. Among children under 12 years of age, 1 child in 13 whose mother works must look out for himself for vary ing periods, Mrs. Oettinger said. In the age group of 10 and 11 alone, one in five is without any care while his mother is at work. These were among the find ings of a special survey con ducted for the Children's Bureau by the Bureau of the Census. The study covered the arrangements made by work ing mothers for care of their children during May, 1958. The number of mothers in the labor force with children under 18 has more than doubled since 1950, Mrs. Oet tinger said. 1958 Studied , During the 1958 period studied by the Census Bureau, a total of 2,873,000 mothers were working full time. - Of their 6,665,000 children, 5, 073,000 were under 12 years of age. While most of the children for whom day care arrange ments were made were cared for either by fathers or rela tives while their mothers Session Planned By UN Chapter The annual election of offi cers and a briefing session for leaders and members of Great Decisions groups will occupy the program for a meeting this week of Med ford chapter, Oregon United Nations association. The ses sion is set for 8 p.m. Thurs day, January 29, at Girls Community club. Speakers will be Bruce' Manley, Mrs. Rex Nicodemus, Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth Jr., and Jim Frohnmayer. The first three are UN chapter members and young Frohn mayer is president of the In ternational Religions league of Medford High school. Each will discuss one phase of UN activity. Mrs. Bosworth, a member of the state UN board of di rectors, attended a meeting of the American Association for the United Nations in New York City several weeks ago. ' Medford Couple Attend Convention Mr. and Mrs. Kenn D. Knackstedt, 129 M i s 1 1 e t o e street, returned to Medford Tuesday afternon after at tending the Professional Pho tographers of Oregon associa tion meeting in Eugene Sun day and Monday. The Knackstedts left the valley Saturday and spent the week end with Mrs. Knack stedt's sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Merlyn C. Johnsen, Eugene. Money spent for building or purchasing homes consti tutes one-fifth of the total capital spending in the U.S. FURS Repairing and Relining Cleaning and Glazing Restyling Frances9 Furs 610 Valley View SAME PHONE SP 2-6526 worked, about 1,034,000 were looked after by non-relatives who either came into the chil dren's homes or cared for them in their own homes. About 24,000 children under three and 67,000 children be tween 3 and 5 were in group care. Nearly one of every four of the working mothers had only children who were under six years of age. Some 231,000 mothers were temporarily not living with their husbands, and 308,000 were divorced or widowed. The study showed that about 2 of every 5 of the working mothers were sales or clerical workers, and about one in 7 held a managerial or professional position. "These figures," Mrs. Oet tinger said, "tell us a great deal about the gaps which ex ist in services for children of working mothers. "Any community should be alarmed that young children under 12 have to fend for themselves while their moth ers work. These children are most apt to fall prey to acci dents or harmful influences without proper adult super vision. Group Care Bad "In addition, the Children's Bureau firmly believes that very young children, especial ly those under three, should not be cared for in groups. They need individual atten tion from their mothers, or from a mother substitute, during this period so import ant in forming their life pat terns." Many of the mothers who work, and especially those with very young children, do so out of economic necessity, Mrs. Oettinger pointed out. "We feel that communities need to recognize this situa tion and to take up the slack in providing day care pro grams for the protection of these children," Mrs. Oetting er said. "The Children's Bu reau, together with the Wom en's Bureau of the Depart ment of Labor, is conducting a national survey to find out the interests and activities of national organizations in this field. "The special study which the Census Bureau conducted at our request gives us some much needed clues on the size of this problm. We hope the results of the study will stimu late states and communities to make a fresh examination of the, problem within their borders." : So if You Have a Hearing Loss and Want Truly Hidden Hearing See and Try the TONEMASTER New "Midget Cordless Barrette", the World's Finest Hearing Aid No Obligation George E.

Give three cheers for the red, white and blue, and then toss a tomato at him? Shud der awhile, sweat, and then run and hide? "Talk turkey" is what you should do, say Harry and Bo na ro Overstreet, husband-and-wife authors of a new book, "What We Must Know About Communism." By "talk turkey" the two mean: Invite the "salesman" to get down to brass tacks in a no-holds-barred debate about Communism. For ex ample, ask: "If the party's so 'good for the people', why is it that fewer than seven million of Russia's 200 million 'citizens' belong?" Know the Facts If you know the facts about Communism, according to the Overstreets, you can chime in while he tries to answer, say ing: "You know darn well the 'people' can't join. If they could, it wouldn't be pure Communism anymore. The creators of the 'people's party' said a powerful few million should lead cowering hun dreds of millions."
