The kind of care that floor coverings receive also can make the difference between a long or short life. Magdalene Pfister, Univer sity of Nebraska home furn ishings specialist offers these tips on rug care: -Use a good quality pad beneath rugs and carpets to absorb some of the abuse of ordinary wear. -Go over soft floor cover ings as often as necessary with a carpet sweeper. -Clean rugs thoroughly every week with an electric cleaner, paying special atten tion to areas that get hard wear. -Plan a thorough profes sional cleaning annually. -Clean spots immediately, using proper stain removal methods. -Never beat a rug, either on the floor or over a line. Rough treatment may break the backing and loosen the fibers. ' I was decorated with old lamps and objects of interest from the past. Mrs. Ralph Burk hart had baked and decorated the Centennial cake, with a landscape, complete with a pioneer road, stage - coach, horses and scenery, trees and shrubs. Candy rocks added to the realistic appearance of the pioneer setting forming the top of the large cake.

Prizes were given for Cen tennail costumes, with the first prize going to Mrs. Beryl Ingle, of Rogue River, a mem ber of Etna Rebekah lodge, Grants Pass. Her costume, 100 years old was her mother-in-law's wedding dress. Tiny black flower springs on white cotton material formed the full skirted dress which was fashioned with a peplum. A lace undercoat, little dress hat and glasses completed the bridal ensemble. Second prize went to Mrs. Ethel Blundell, also of Etna lodge. Her dress had been handed down in her family. It was a black silk poplin gown, fashioned with leg-o-mutton sleeves, a tight-fitting bodice and a full sweeping skirt. With it. she wore a 70-year-old matching set of necklace and earrings.

Well Known Says Cooking By GAY PAULEY' UPI Women's Editor New York-(UPD-A famous restaurant owner calls Amer ica the "melting pot" for cooking know how. As a result, U. S. kitchens can give the world the greatest cui sine it has ever known, if wives had just a little Gay Pauley word of appre ciation from husbands. George M. Mardikian, 55, speaking. Mardikian is the Armenian born proprietor of the Omar Khayam restaurant in San Francisco. He came to this country 37 years ago, penni less but certain "that all you had to do in California was pick gold nuggets off the streets." His career began as a dish washer in a restaurant at $12 a week. Today, he is the suc cessful operator of a restaur ant featuring dishes from his homeland, author, rancher, industrialist, philanthopist and patriot - "Everyone of us should get down on our hands and knees every day and thank ' God we are Ameri cans." Presidential Citations In World War II, the gov ernment asked him to help improve the Army's food serv ice at home and abroad. He won two presidential citations for his work. Mardikian, his pretty bru nette wife, Naz, and I ' dis cussed the quality and future of American cooking while we stowed a, breakfast of or ange juice, fresh strawberries, toast and coffee in their suite at the Waldorf-Astoria towers. The couple had just re turned from two months in the Middle East, where Mardi kian talked with Gamal Nas ser and other Egyptian and Syrian leaders, opened in Lebanon a library and mu seum containing his collection of art by Americans of Ar menian ancestry, and attend ed a gathering in Alepo, Syria, of Armenian Boy Scouts. He is the internation al president of the group. "It may be true, as some critics have charged, that res taurants are creating a nation of short order chefs," said Mardikian. "But the future cf cooking lies in our kitchens. If American men will just take the time to tell their wives how good everything was, after each meal. "Any chef you know is vain . . . I ought to know, I am one. "Cooking is not to be treat ed as a chore. It is a creative art. But unlike the artist who makes a painting and often has to wait years for recogni tion, the cook's art is imme diately recognized. If the fam ily showed appreciation, there would be fewer of those froz en TV dinners served. "The same thing which has 820 E. MAIN SP 2-7418 . Henry Myhre, H.C.

We are the melting pot for food knowledge. We can take the best of the dishes from so many lands. From the Ar menians, the Italians, the French, the Chinese, the Irish. "I won't include the British because they don't have good food," he said, and laughed. 4 Four Students Take Part In Music Festival Corvallis -Four students from the Medford area will take part tonight in the Ore gon State college Centennial music festival, "The Face of Oregon."

M APRIL -- SALE SINGLE 45's Group A 'Group B Group C 2 for $1.00 3 for $1.00 5 for $1.00 TERMS ON ALL PHONO'S IF DESIRED iar 'The Store For years Potpourri has been ashamed of the condition of the drawers in her desk. Particularly the flat middle drawer. It's real handy and consequently it's always filled with numerous articles for which there doesn't seem to be any other place. All the time we've had the uneasy feeling that a really efficient and proper person wouldn't have all this mess just rolling around loose or jammed into corners. But now we don't feel half so guilty, all because of Manville Heisel and a speech he made Wednesday noon for Rogue chapter, National Secretaries association. Mr. Heisel said he had been asked to give a humorous speech. He did, and for some of the secretaries it must have been almost like being psycho-analyzed. After he was asked to give the talk, Mr. Heisel meditated a bit about what to say. He thought how secretaries are really three individuals - the woman the boss thinks she is, the woman the bosses wife thinks she is (the luncheon was in honor of bosses wives) and the woman the secretary thinks she is. Then Mr. H. had a bright idea. He waited one night until all the secretaries in his office went home, and then he looked in the drawers of their desks. Some of the articles he found, he brought along in a big brief case as props for his speech. Secretaries are psychologists, he decided, because when the day gets really hectic and they want the boss to know just how all this hard work is getting on their nerves, they get out the aspirin bottle. He produced one, almost full. "They don't really take them," he said. "They just put the bottle out where the boss can see it." Secretaries give thougnt to the ravages of time, he decided, producing a half-eaten box of caramels and a con tainer of dental floss. They are ready for -all emergencies he said, and reaching into the brief case, came up with some adhesive tape and a couple of safety pins. Secretaries make mistakes, just like everyone else, said Mr. H., and from the depths of the brief case produced several old erasers. He pondered aloud over the matter oi wny tnc secretaries use the rubber eraser right down to the metal, but leave the brushes practically as good as new. Secretaries have good appetites, said Mr. Heisel, but still they watch their diets. To prove this he brought out of the case a half-eaten doughnut and a pamphlet entitled "Overweight and Underweight." Secretaries have friends, but maybe they lose some too, opined Mr. H. He proved this with two Christmas cards which were never mailed. They like their food seasoned just so he proved this with a small shaker of salt. At least some of them smoke, said Mr. H., reaching into his brief case and coming up with what he called a flint rack-empty. Secretaries are mysterious women, too, he decided. This contention was based on a little box which contained paper clips, staples, pills and four pennies; near this he said he found a small clock which doesn't run. Secretaries love beautiful things, and they are senti mental, said Mr. Heisel, and held up a red velvet rose, which had seen better days. Secretaries have their gay moments ,too, said this fear less boss - and produced a martini glass which he declared without hesitation matched those used in the Medford hotel bar. And what were the speaker's conclusions? That secre taries have "The Three Faces of Eve" and are after all women. Potpourri happened to be placed next Mr. Heisel at the luncheon table. When he sat down, to the sound of unre strained female laughter, we said, with awe - "you really didn't!" "Oh yes I did," said Mr. Heisel, with a big grin. That award-heavy picture, "Gigi," opens in Medford Sunday, and Potpourri was one of a small preview audience Tuesday night. "Gigi" won nine Academy awards for 1958 movies - best picture of the year, best direction (Vincent Minelli), best color cinematography, best costume design, best art direction, best film editing, best musical scare, best song ("Gigi") and best screen play. In addition, a special award went to that perennial French star, Maurice Chevalier, for "his many years of fine performances." The color photography is gorgeous, particularly scenes in the Bois de Bologne, and Potpourri heartily agrees with the award on costume design. The lavish gowns topped with utterly fantastic hats - women who love clothes will be agog. The women who wear the clothes are gorgeous, too - women such as Leslie Caron, who plays the title role, and Eva Gabor. Having heard Hermione Gingold on radio but never having seen her in a niovie or on television, we were particularly interested in her portrayal. And the hand some Louis Jourdan sets the feminine hearts to fluttering. There's a new gimmick on green stamps in New York City. Plans are underway whereby shoppers can turn in trading stamps on theater tickets, books and records, as well as electrical gadgets and furniture. O.S.
