United Press International New York (UPC Want to odd color to spring salads? Try a few wild rose petals Or wild mignonette. These are among the more exotic edible wild plants of our nation. Generations of country cooks have looked forward to spring as the season not of asparagus - but of such wild substitutes as milkweed and pokewood shoots To these cooks, youne, tender dande lion greens, narrow dock, wild watercress, wild chicory, lamb's quarters and purslane, sometimes also called pigweed and pusley, are better than spinach, though more trouble to prepare. If course, all edible wild plants must be washed care fully under running water. Those that require cooking usually should be simmered or boiled Xn several changes of ' water to remove any strong, bitter flavor, say,the experts. Add butter, salt and pepper and you've a tasty dish with high vitamin content. Some wild plants need only be blanched before using in salads. And a few can be eaten raw. Shepherds' purse, for in stance, does double duty. This peppery plant, somewhat like the mustard family, may be served as a cooked vegetable or blanched and made into salad. Its flavor is said to be similar to cabbage, but far more delicate. Wild Spinach Lamb's quarters, also call ed wild spinach, pigweed and goosefoot, is popular with American Indians from Mex ico northward. The young tops are cooked like spinach. Come fall and early winter, the seeds may be dried or slightly cooked, then ground into a fine flour resembling buckwheat. The Indians have i ' : Decorator Advises Newlyweds Chicago-(Ura . - Newlyweds would do better to begin mar ried life in a furnished apart ment than to buy their own furniture, saya interior dec orator Sam Sorkin. "We've found that without exception, their needs desires and ideas about furniture change dramatically after the first few years of marriage, he said. "Things that impressed them as brand new newlyweds are of absolutely no interest to them three to five years later." Sorkin, who has worked as an interior decorator in the Chicago area for more than 30 years, conceded that his idea would not be popular with sociologists. They, he 'said, recommend that young people do things which bind them to gether. Buying furniture is an excellent example. 'But it makes economic sense to avoid rumiening a home until they understand one another," he added. Failing this, Sorkin believes the young couple should keep their home-furnishings spend ing to "an irreducible min imum for the first four years or so of married life, until they find oup. where they are going." Do-it-yourself f u r n i t u r e would be Sorkin's next choice, after a furnished apartment. Husband and wife can work together in choosing a color scheme and finishing unpaint- ed furniture, and still keep their home-furnishing budget near the minimum. f Ballet Students In Special Class Students from the Thurston School of Dance in Medford are studying this month with Sally Bailey, solist with the San Francisco ballet company, Miss Bailey is teaching in the Thurston studios in Lakeview, Alturas and Klamath Falls June 8-28.

Hill, Ash land physician, will speak for a meeting of Jackson County Medical assistants to be held in the Conference room of Rogue Valley Memorial hos pital Thursday, June 11, at 8 pjn. Dr. Hill's topic will be "Hypnosis in Obstetrics." All medical assistants are invited to attend. used this flour in breadmak ing. Tumbling tumbleweed of the Western plains and the Eastern seashore is something to sing about during the spring when the plants are young and tender. Then, they may be picked, boiled and served with butter. But -the best edible wild plant of all, swears a West Virginia friend, is ramp, a deceptively mild- looking member'' of the onion family. It looks like a spring onion and tastes just fine when fried, he says, but the odor is so strong "you can't go home for three days after eating it." This powerful quality doesn't discourage ramp - fanciers from holding an annual spring festival with the appropriate name of ramp whiff. Purslane Good Among the milder plants is purslane, another spinach type. 'It may be prepared in several ways. Some prefer the succulent reddish - purple stems and small, fat leaves boiled in salted water, then seasoned and buttered. Others like it cooked down with fried diced pork. And those who deplore a fatty quality prefer to bake it with bread crumbs and beaten eggs. Purs lane is also used like okra, to thicken soup. But before you can cook any of these dishes, you must first pick the ingredients. This is the difficult part. Many of the plants are hardest to identify during the brief period when they are edible. Fruit and flowers that distinguish one plant from another - and especially, the harmless from the harmful -appear on most edible plants only after the succulent young, green shoots and leaves have grown old and toughened. One old or tough leaf, say the experts, can spoil the flavor of the whole potful. And some plant , even become poisonous with age. A Kinsey report - oh bot any - can protect you from these risks if you're not hep horticulturally. The late scientist, Dr. Al fred C- Kinsey, whose re search on sexual behavior made him a best-selling auth or, was a co-author of Edible Wild Plants of Eastern North America. A recently - revised edition of this book by Kinsey, M. L. Fernald and Reed C. Collins is a combination picture encyclopedia and cookbook, with descriptions, ' sketches and locations of dozen of plants, plus directions for cooking. : f Ceremony Held In Roque River Rogue River-A re-installa tion ceremony for officers of Laurel Garden club was held in the garden at the home of Mrs. Esther Shock, June 4, With Mrs. Shock in charge.

Guide to Family Buying Lists Way to Stay Solvent By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York-(UPD-"Most bread winners tear their hair out trying to balance the budget," says the latest guide to wise buying. This is a masterpiece of un derstatement as all of us "breadwinners" know. But the new guide does offer 354 pages of practical assistance toward solvency. j One of the first chunks of advice in the "Kiplinger Fam ily Buying Guide" published by Prentice Hall is: "Don't be an impulse" buy er." Buying on the spur of the moment is one of the fastest ways to turn a "supposedly leakproof budget into a sieve," says the publication. Accord ing to some market authori ties, 70 per cent of all buying today is of the impulse vari ety, the book adds. From Houses To Hi-Fi The book gives money-saving and what-to-look-for tips in purchase of everything from houses to hifi, from air con ditioners to auto insurance, from power mowers to pianos. Missing, unfortunately, is a complete section on purchase of feminine apparel. But the part devoted to getting the most for your food dollar should help us all cut costs on the three squares. "Always shop the grocery ads in Thursday's newspa per," says the book. "The main object in this is not so much to compare prices which are apt to run pretty close - but to get an idea of what foods are good buys. "Finally sit down and make a nst oi tne staples you need plus a more flexible list of those items that will make up the menus. Flexible, because the foods that sound best when you read . . . may not turn out to be the bargains. Buy By The Calendar "Buy food by the calendar and you are sure to come out dollars ahead. Food prices go through seasonal cycles and the highs and lows can be plotted by the calendar," it continues. Save money by buying in Women of Moose Announce Events Three events are set this week for Women of the Moose. A lodge session will be held tonight at 8 o'clock at Moose hall, 11 Newtown street. A revelation party for secret pals will be held Thursday, June 11, at 7:30 pjn. at the home of Mrs. Harvey Wyatt, 335 South Riverside avenue.
