Ice cream nowadays comes
in hundreds of different fla
vors, as any parent who has
bought ice cream cones for
a carload of children knows,
but here in the Rogue River
valley residents can now buy
an ice cream that exists no
where else in the world.
It is Pear-fection, made
with fresh D'Anjou pears from
a base recipe developed by
Ken Severson of Severson's
candy shop, Medford, and
made by Sniders dairy.
Only last week, after work
ing 14 months to perfect the
right combination of ingredi
ents, Severson and Clint Ben
nett of Snider's dairy turned
out the first batch of Pear
fection ice cream that they
felt couldn't be surpassed.
Severson and Bennett asked
others to taste the ice cream
and the reaction to the new
flavor convinced them they
had hit upon the ultimate
recipe. Production started im
mediately, and the new ice
cream went on 'sale at the
Groceteria in Medford last
week.
Soon in Olhr Stores
It will soon be available
in other stores in the area in
pints, quarts,4 half-gallon and
larger sizes. As an eye-catching
decoration, miniature arti
ficial pears are attached to
PEAR-FECTION - Ken Severson, owner of
Severson's candy shop, Medford, and em
ployee Hilda Cook pour out a hot batch of
Pear-fection base that will, be cut up into
candy after it has cooled. The same mixture,
only much more ' concentrated by leaving
out thickeners, is used by Snider's dairy to
9
make Pear-fection ice cream, which went
on the market last week. The candy and ice
cream base are made from fresh pear puree,
locally-grown walnuts, sugar and trace in
gredients. No preservatives or artificial
flavors are used.

maker at Snider's dairy, above, fills the
hopper on the ice cream machine with
Pear-fection base, a product of Severson's
candy company,- Medford. Packaging the
half-gallon containers is Hildegard Pierce.
The new flavor for ice cream was develop
ed by Bennett and Ken Severson after work
ing on the project for 14 months. It is the
only pear flavoring on the market today,
according to Severson. The base itself can
be used for ice cream topping, marmalade
or cake frosting.

Group Discusses
Plans to Expand
Membership
Approximately 24 persons
attended the meeting of gen
eral contractors and sub-contractors
of Jackson county
held at Ping's Garden in Med
ford last week according , to
T. R. Florey, president.
It was suggested that the
Jackson county Contractor's
association expand its mem
bership to include sub-contractors,
financing and loan
institutions and all suppliers.
Membership would also have
the services of the Industry
Council of Southern Oregon
in their labor relations, it
was reported.
Commilia Appointed
Possibility of developing a
"bid-pool" " for sub-contractors
was also discussed. Florey
appointed a committee to in
vestigate the proposal. One
of the plans the association
will develop, it was decided,
will be to provide a publish
ed list of names of the asso
ciation members for those
who want their services. Each
member of the Jackson
county association would au
tomatically become a member
of the Home Builders associ
ation. Contractors agreed that a
grievance committee should
be established to investigate
various complaints of the pub
lic and to create better pub
lic and building industry re
lations. During the meeting Armin
Richter talked on methods of
operation and benexits he re
ceived through belonging to
a general contractors' associ
ation in San Diego county.
A patent has been awarded
for a combination cigaret
lighter and miniature camera.
the top of the half-gallon con
tainers.
The ice cream base, made
of fresh pear puree, walnuts,
sugar and other ingredients,
is the secret to the whole
operation, Severson said, and
getting the right balance of
these elements to bring out
the pear flavor in the ice
cream called for a good deal
of experimentation.
The base is a concentration
of Pear-fection, a candy that
Severson's has been making
for about eight years, but im
provements in the Pear-fection
recipe necessarily had to
be made for use as an ice
cream base, which has result
ed in a new and better candy,
according to Severson,
Other Us for Base
The base can also be used
as an ice cream topping,
marmalade, cake frosting, syr
up or for anything that calls
for a sweet fruit concentrate.
Severson' said the base will
soon be marketed as a mar
malade packaged in colorful
ceramic "pears."
v Since there is no other pear
flavoring made, to Severson's
knowledge, he said that end
less possibilities exist as far
as marketing it on a large
scale is concerned. The candy
company can, with their pres
ent equipment, turn out
about 100 pounds of the base
per hour. Severson said he
made over 1,800 pounds of it
in three days last week just
for use in the new ice cream.
Pear-fection has no pre
servatives added, yet it has
according to Severson. The
delicate natural flavor is that
of the pear alone, comple
mented by small walnut
chunks. It is reported to be
the only successful product
on the market made from
pears, other than the vodka
made in Hood River.
Ken Severson and his wife,
Laura, recently bought out
Ken's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
H. W. Severson, and are sole
owners of the candy com
pany. If the product would sud
denly be accepted by a large
wholesaler for nation-wide
distribution, a market for con
siderable quantities of pears
and locally grown walnuts
would be created . . . and it is
not beyond the realm of possibility.

ICC RULING
Washington - (UPD - The in
terstate commerce commis
sion ruled Friday that strikes
and peaceful picket lines do
not "excuse any public trans-'
portation company from per
forming its usual pick up and

member commission held that
companies providing pick up
and delivery service ' must
continue to serve plants
where workers are on strike
and peacefully picketing.
