MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Friday, July 3, 1959 Hamburgers Good Food For Fourth The Fourth of July official ly heralds the picnic season even though warm weather may have inspired families to hold earlier cookouts. Ever since the summer day In 1904 when the hamburger sandwich made its debut at the St. Louis Fair, hamburg ers and buns in all shapes and sizes have won the hearts and the appetites of the American public, and hamburgers are one of the most popular menu items for picnics, patio sup pers and other forms of out door cookery. Regardless of shape, size or method of cooking, a true Heavenly Hamburger starts with fresh, lean ground beef, seasoned with salt, pepper and monosodium glutamate, and lightly tossed to mix in the seasonings. One teaspoon of monosodium glutamate per pound of meat emphasizes the robust beef flavor. Hamburgers are tradition ally round in shape, but there's no reason why they shouldn't be given a bit of variety. Try a Heavenly Hamburger Hero, for exam ple, by teaming the meat with juicy tomatoes and crisp lettuce, sandwiching the whole business between halves of a loaf of crisp-crusted French bread. Or shape hamburger meat into patties and serve on frankfurter rolls, topped with a thin slice of onion and a spot of catch up. A Big Burger is a huge plump patty containing a full pound of beef. Saute or pan- broil, place between halves of a round loaf of bread, and cut into four generous wedges. Heavenly Hamburgers can double as appetizers, too. Two-bite burgers, crowned with melted cheese and placed on small rolls are "conversation" "canapes for any party. Top them with vickles or olives on tooth picks. For Heavenly Hamburgers mix X pound ground beef, 1 teaspoon monosodium gluta mate, V teaspoon salt and 14 teaspoon pepper. Break up meat with fork in mixing bowl, sprinkle monosodium glutamate, salt and pepper over entire surface of meat. Toss gently with fork to dis tribute seasoning. Yield, four aervings. y For plain hamburgers shape meat mixture into 4 round patties. Brown quick ly on both sides in preheated, ungreased skillet. Reduce heat and cook to desired doneness. Serve in split, toasted hamburger buns. Hero Burgers For Hero Burgers shape meat mixture into one large ki -m mii I of French bread, berve in French bread with lettuce and tomato slices. For Big Burgers shape meat mixture into one large round patty. Cut large round bread in half crosswise; place cooked meat between halves. To serve cut in wedges. Top each wedge with pickle slice. Two-Bite Burgers are made by shaping meat mixture in to miniature burgers. Cook about 1 minute on each side in pre-heated, ungreased skil let. Serve in small rolls top ped with sweet gherkins or stuffed olives on toothpicks -4 Rolls in 20 Minutes Preheat the oven to 400 de grees. Combine 3 tablespoons butter, 13 cup brown sugar and cup pecans and spread the mixture on the bottom of a well greased bread pan. Place Brown'N Serve dinner rolls, tops down, over the nutty mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 min utes. Let the rolls stand in the pan for a minute or two before inverting the pan. This, Margaret Spader, home service editor of the Gas Ap pliance Manufacturers as sociation says, permits the sugar mixture to set so it won't run off when the pan is removed.

Science Programs Stronger Speaker Tells St. Louis - School science programs, particularly those for gifted students, have been notably strengthened through out the country in response to the post-Sputnik challenge. Teachers here for the an nual convention of the Nation al Education association have this on the authority of Mar garet J. McKibben, assistant executive secretary for the National Science Teachers As sociation (NSTA). The NSTA is an NEA department. Dr. McKibben has been en gaged in an intensive survey of just what the schools have done to "beef up" their science courses. She has in preparation a report which deals in very specific terms with what selected schools throughout the country, to be named and identified in the report, have accomplished in this matter The report itself, made pos sible by a grant from the Future Scientists of America Foundation, will not be pub lished until fall, but Dr. Mc Kibben is able to give the con vention delegates an idea of what it will contain Courses Increase She has found a marked growth of intensified science courses, both enriched and ac celerated, in the junior and senior high schools. Academic ally talented students are se lected for these courses on the basis of I.Q. scores, aptitude tests, scholastic records, and teacher evaluations. Master Points Won by Players Players competed for mas ter points in Wednesday's meeting of Riverside Bridge club. In the north-south section, high scores were won by Mrs. Fred Rehling and Mrs. C. L. Howard, first; Mrs. Paul Hat ton and Mrs. Glen Harrison tied with Mrg. F. R. Baker and Al Gilhousen.for second and third.- East-west winners were Mrs. Del Davenport and Mrs. Sam Stinebaugh, Grants Pass, first; the Howard Boyds, second; Mrs. W. W. Stevenson and Roy Pruitt, third. The club ordinarly meets in the home of Mrs. Paul Hatton, but since the Hattons are in Montana on a vacation trip, the club will meet at Girls Community club July 8 and 15. Mrs. Gilhousen will direct the play. Dance Planned At Grange Hall Ashland - A square dance will be held Saturday, July 4, at Bellview Grange hall as part of the Ashland July Fourth celebration. Dancing will begin at 8:30 with Floyd Workman and Byron Dibble , as callers. potluck refreshments will be served. Runstads Here Mr, and Mrs. Harold Run stad of Seattle arrived in Med- ford last evening to spend the Fourth of July week end with Mr. and Mrs. John S. Day, and with the Runstad's son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs John P. Day, Gold Rey. The Runstads will return north Monday. OLIVE-CHEESE BALLS New York (UPD- Make these olive-cheese balls a day ahead for best results. Soften Yz pound of cream cheese at room temperature and add enough heavy cram to make a thick spreading consistency. Using a teaspoon, mold cheese around small pimiento-stuffed olives, roll in finely-ground walnuts and refrigerate un covered for 3 hours or over night. Before serving, slice each cheese ball in half with a sharp knife. Wipe the knife blade clean frequently so that the four colors don't smear. Empty plastic pill bottles make handy containers for dressings, catsup and mustard in school lunch boxes. Wash well before converting bottles to food containers. Convention Characteristics of these new science course's are smaller classes, longer laboratory per iods, and devices for extend ing the school program into after-school hours. This is done sometimes in the school, but after regular hours, some times in home projects, some. times in the use of university or industrial facilities. Some high school students are using college text books and labora tory manuals. Because the pressure to up grade science teaching in the secondary schools began at the top and filtered down to the bottom, Dr. McKibben found the clearest current pic ture of recent trends in what has been happening in the senior high schools. The most obvious change was in the increase in total time devoted to science,, both in and out of school. More "Doing" Also, she observed, there is less "reading and talking about science and more "do ing." More time is being de voted to both individual and group experimentation. There are more entries in local and national competitions. Scien tists are visiting classrooms and students are exploring outside science laboratories in the process of finding out about science and about ca reers in science. Ability grouping is on the increase. One of the junior high schools studied by Dr. McKibben had split its gen eral science course into no fewer than five "tracks" to accommodate, students of varying ability in the subject, She found a distinct move ment away from science as part of a "core" program, with the new trend being for science standing on its own academic feet. At the same time the mathematics content of science is being stressed. There are widespread ef forts to strengthen the aca- demicN backgrounds of the science teachers themselves. This is being brought about by inservice programs, consul tants, visiting scientists, and summer research experiences. Centennial Operettas v Announced PORTLAND - Lighthearted and lively entertainment is promised Oregon Centennial visitors to Portland this sum mer with the announcement of a four-week repertory sea son of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas from July 23 to Au gust 16. . This will be the first the ater production of the Fine Arts committee of the Oregon Centennial to be performed in Portland. The New Savoy company of Reed college will open the series of sixteen per formances with "The Mikado" on July 23; "Patience", July 24; "The Pirates of Pen zance," July 25; and "Io lanthe", July 26. The four favorites will be shown once every week dur ing the four-week period. This will allow viewers and season ticket holders to see all four plaVs either during a single week or once a week during the month-long reper tory run. Lavish Scale The productions will be on a lavish scale with a chorus of 40 supporting principals and an orchestra of 30 pieces under the direction of Herbert Gladstone, of Reed college, who is well known for his productions of these .joyous operas. An all-Oregon cast known throughout the years by Gil bert and Sullivan fans has been assembled and is now in rehearsal. Heading the list is Jean Handzlik, nationally fa mous contralto, who returned to Portland from summer stock in the East, to partici pate in this Centennial event. She will appear in such dra matic roles as those of Kati sha in the "Mikado", and the Fairy Queen in "Iolanthe". In the Martyn Green roles will be talented Fred White, of Palo Alto, California, who ex tended his vacation to take these comic roles. " ' Tickets may be purchased through Reed college, the Oregon Centennial Fine Arts commission at 1004 Failing building, the arena box office at the Portland Exposition grounds or the Multnomah County Centennial office on Broadway. Single admissions are $3.50, $2.50 and S1.50; series are-$12.50, $8.50 and $5.00. 4 Pro Perfume New York - (UPD - "There's nothing; I like better than to have a sweet-smelling doll ride in my cab. What a relief from the exhaust fumes I breathe all day long." That's what a taxi driver said when asked if perfume makes a woman more attrac tive to a man. L J m Mrs. Fred J. Connors, 38 North Oak dale avenue, is pic tured aboard the S.S. Mariposa which sailed June 21 from San Francisco for a cruise through the South Pacific to Aus tralia. Mrs. Connors teaches the fifth grade in Oak Grove school. - College Home Economist Gives Tips on Jam, Jelly Corvajlis - Sparkling jams arid jellies made with North west fruits will "turn out" better if popular recipes are revised for local use, suggests an Oregon State college home economist, Two of the main jelly-mak ing ingredients, 'pectin and acid, are found in somewhat higher quantities in some Ore gon, fruits and need to be re duced in many recipes. When local homemakers use recipes written for a national audi- ience, they are often disapoint ed in their results-firm jams and tough jelly-says Ruth Klippstein, extension nutri tionist. Before changing any recipes Mrs. Klippstein suggests first making a small "test" batch following the , recipe. Then maKe changes needed. To localize" a recipe, use about a third less pectin than recom mended. For "high acid" berry jams and jellies, added lemon juice or other acid is usually not necessary. Improve berry jellies by substituting apple juice for one half of the berry juice called for in recipes. Highly prized for their "fruity" flavor and color, Ore gon fruits are unique and somewhat variable in their acid content, she says. Balance Needed Successful jellymaking de pends on a balance between the three jelly ingredients pectin, acid and sugar. Fruit naturally contains some pec tin, the substance that makes jellies "jell." Slightly under ripe fruit contains more pectin than green fruit or fruit that is overmature, but lacks flavor of fully ripened fruit. Pow. dered or liquid pectin is ad ded to shorten the cooking time, and to help "set" jams where fully ripened fruit is used. Lemon juice or citric acid must be added to low-acid fruits, such as apricots, peach es and plums so the pectin can "jell," the home economist advises. Sugar helps preserve the jelly and adds flavor. Low calorie sweetness should not be subsituted for sugar in most recipes. To assure perfect preserves, follow recipes closely and avoid pitfalls listed. Jelly may be "cloudy if mixture "is poured into glasses too slowly, cooled befpre it was poured, or juice may not have been properly strained of all pulp. If jelly sets too fast, it may cloud, usually the result of using fruit that is too green. Soft jelly may be caused by not using enough sugar, too much juice in the mixture, not enough acid, or making too much jelly at a time. Soft jelly can sometimes be made firmer, Mrs. Klippstein says. Measure 1 quart of jelly, add 4 teaspoons of pectin, V4 cup of water and Vt cup sugar, Boil Vz minute. Add 2 table spoons of lemon juice, if more acid is needed. Sirupy jelly-too little pec tin, acid or sugar. Too much sugar can also cause sirupy jelly. Bulletin Offered Jellies that "weep" are us ually caused by too much acid, by covering jelly with a thick paraffin layer or a fluctua tion in storage-temperature. ; To help prevent fruit from rising to the top in the finish ed jam, stir the mixture fre quently five minutes after re moving from the heat. Fruit absorbs some of the sugar so lution and won't float. More help on jam and jelly making is offered in "How to Make Jellies, Jams and Pre serves at Home," free- on re quest at county extension of fices. The bulletin includes instructions for making table spreads using liquid and pow dered pectins and old-fashion ed long cooking methods. Di rections for popular uncooked spreads that can be stored in the freezer are also given in the bulletin. ' Visit of Queen Causes Flurry In Dress Shops , Chicago (UPD-Matrons in the fashionable North Shore dis trict were rummaging in trunks today for formal dress to wear to next Monday's din ner for Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen's mid-summer visit caught most women's wear stores with their supply of formal gowns down to a small choice. Society here usually dresses informally during the hot summer months. But for the Queen's din ner, most women are demand ing long, white or pastel dresses of a soft material-chiffon or silk organza. Some shops sent out hur ried SOS's and had one-of-a-kind frocks sent by air mail from the manufacturers. But many of the ladies lucky enough to be invited to the Queen's dinner could not find precisely the new dress want ed for the most important so cial event of the year, and were forced back upon - old faithfuls. "Women always have one timeless dress available for formal social occasion," said Mrs. Leon Mandel, judged one of the nation's 10 best dressed women this year. She said she will wear such a gown, a floor-length Paris origination of white jersey, designed , especially for her. It is draped in the Grecian style. The color will be in her jewelry, which Mrs. Mandel said she would select after j she is dressed. Mayor Richard J. Daley's wife chose a slim, floor-length white satin gown with a white overskirt trimmed in irides-1 cent sequins. Her satin shoes and long white gloves also will be white, and for jewelry she said she would wear "some small earrings, because I prefer just a little jewelry." And what would Daley, the Queen's host, wear? "A blue suit during the day," his wife reported, "and a white jacket in the evening." - Frills For Fish If the tackle-and-bait de-; partment is in business in your household, the copk had better take note. Margaret Spader, home service editor for the Gas Appliance Manu facturers association, suggests a few frills for the fish din ner: A cucumber sauce made by adding Vi cup finely chop ped cucumber into x4 cup mayonnaise and a little fresh mint if it is available. Or, Hollandaise sauce seasoned with fresh lemon and tar ragon will add a glamour touch. Slivered almonds or Brazil nuts, simmered slow ly in butter over a low gas flame add texture as well as richness to fresh water fish. Professional Status Sought For Teachers St. Louis - Oregon educa tors here for the annual con vention of the National Educa tion association are urging other convention delegates to consider the proposal that teaching be formally and legally recognized as a pro fession, with the right to li cense and police its own ranks. C. W. Posey, of Portland, executive secretary " of the Oregon Education association, who heads . a delegation of 240 Oregon educators here for the convention, reported to NEA officials that the state has made much progress dur ing the year in consolidating its school districts and strengthening the program for teacher certification through the imposition of higher stan dards. The Oregon group includes 110 official delegates. The convention program is centered around the theme "Quality Teaching Opens Windows On the World." National and international leaders in education address ed the convention, which con tinues through today. Charles H. Malik, president of the United Nations General Assembly and dean of gradu ate studies at the American University of Beirut, was to speak at the final convention session. The delegates also heard, among others, Mrs. Rol lin Brown, formerly of Med ford and now of Los Angeles, chairman, White House Con ference on Children and Youth, I960, and former pres ident of the National . Con gress of Parents and Teachers; former Congressman Brooks Hays of Arkansas, past presi dent of the Southern Baptist Convention, who spoke on in tegration from the viewpoint of a Southern moderate. v -. . California Boy Here for Visit Visiting relatives in the val ley is James Gibbs, 10, River side, Calif. He will remain here for two months at the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J, S. Gibbs, 1375 South Columbus avenue, and his father, James W Gibbs. The Gibbs family here drove to San Francisco this week where they met young James at the airport. 4 Soften a bit of creamed cheese with honey, and then add chopped nuts or raisins to it. This keeps well on a hike or camp-outing, and your sons and daughters will love it. - Maid Has 43-Piece Wardrobe V . The ''ensemble" look char acterizes the 43-piece ward robe of the 1959 Maid of Cot ton, Miss Malinda Berry of Stillwater, Okla. Miss Berry's wardrobe, styled by top de signers, includes sports, day and evening fashions, all of cotton. In sportswear, the bathing suits are topped by short pullovers or beach skirts. Short, unbelted jackets come with the day dresses in cot ton tweeds, satins and piques. Water-repellent rain and shine coats, ensembled with day dresses, are lined with the dress fabrics. For evening, designers have paired date frocks withebig, dramatic coats. Miss Berry reports that her pretty cotton fashions are "good travelers." Her year-around, all-occasion wardrobe was planned with wrinkle-resistant and minimum-care fabrics in mind. After touring 29 cities in the United States and Cana: da Miss Berry is visiting 14 places in Europe, Asia and the Far East this summer. rj tfM GOLD COAST For after dark, Mies Malinda Berry, 1939 Maid of Cotton, choose an elegantiy styled dress and coat in a gold coast print of deep jewel tones.

Couey of - Medford were two out of 46 co-eds taking shorthand classes at Oregon State college who qualified for the National Certificate of Superior Merit, one of the top awards for shorthand pro ficiency, They were also members of the 200-student OSC short hand team that won first place this spring in the na tional Order of Gregg Artists competition for shorthand students. It wag the second straight year that OSC had won the national honor. List of winners of, the Su perior Merit Certificate -was announced this week by the college. Miss Chisum will be a sen ior next year. Her home ad dress is 3960 Hilsinger road. Miss Couey, who will be a sophomore, lives at 1928 Stewart Avenue. Student Chosen As Adviser for OSC Dormitory Corvallis - Miss Beverly A. Burgoyne, Route 1, Box 234, Central Point, is one of 33 women students at Oregon State college selected to serve next year as new student ad visers in the women's dormi tories. Miss Burgoyne ,will be a senior in the school of educa tion. The advisers work with the housemothers in helping the new freshmen coeds adjust to college life and get off to a successful start in their col lege careers. Dormitory ad visers are chosen for matur ity, leadership, scholarship, and character. In return for their services, they are paid a small wage each term. ' Cherry-Berry Good Combination for Pie To make a success of "cherry-berry pie," Margaret Spader, home service editor of the Gas Appliance Manu facturers association, suggests preheating the gas oven to 425 degrees. Make pastry for a 2-crust pie and line the pie pan. Add 2 cups pitted sweet cherries, 2 cups raspberries. Sprinkle 3A cup sugar mixed with Vi cup flour and Vt tea spoon cinnamon over the top of the fruit and dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Cover the top with pastry, seal the edges well and bake in a gas oven preheated to 425 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the juice bubbles through the slits on top of the pie. . QUICK DISH New York-IUPD-A main dish that's ready In minutes is peas and tuna chowder. Drain (1 pound) can of peas, reserving liquid. Combine liquid with 1 quart milk and heat to just be low boiling point over low heat. Add 1 2Vi-ounce) pack age of dehydrated tomato veegtable soup mix, 1 (7 ounce) can of drained solid pack tuna and 2 tablespoons of chopped chives. Cover. Cook over low heat 10 min utes, stirring frequently. Add peas, cook 5 minutes more and serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

RIVERSIDE SP 3-4264 Medford Cosmetics More Popular With Women in Russia By PATRICIA WIGGINS United Press International Washington-!UPD-The lady boss of the Passport Office thinks Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and his boys won't be able to stop Russian women's urge for eye-shadow. "It's contagious, and it is spreading," she said. Frances G. Knight said such feminine buying urges as she noticed on a recent unofficial trip to Russia may not be of "international importance." And she said "none of our diplomatic experts would give this a second thoughts." But, she added, "I have a hunch that this is the type of thing Messrs. Khrushchev and Mikoyan cannot stop." iviiss A.nigni saia in an inter-, view that "times have chang-i ed" in Moscow since her hus-J band (Wayne W. Parrish, edi tor and publisher of American Aviation Publications Inc.) was in the Soviet Union three years ago. Russian women, she said, are using perfume, pow der and lipstick and wearing hats and dresses of color and "reasonably good texture" in stead of drab blacks and dark colors. "I imagine," she said, "that in the past few years as more consumer goods have begun to be' available, the Russian wife-like wives all over the world-has said words to this effect: "Ivan, tonight we go to the Ballet. I am wearing my velvet dress. You get a haircut, wash up, put on a clean shirt, and tie. I don't want the neighbors- talking about the way you look." Takes Hint And Ivan, Miss Knight said, "like all wise husbands, has taken the hint." She said her husband no ticed three years ago that. Rus sian men "seemed to take pride in looking like bums." On the couple's recent visit, she said, at theaters and else where it was "notable that the men accompanied by wom en were spruced up for the occasion. Miss Knight said the Rus sian GUM Department Store -"the Moscow version of Ma-cy's"-looked like the week be fore Christmas: packed with people from morning to night. The cosmetic counters, she added were jammed in every store in and out of Moscow that she visited. And she told this tale of a conversation with one Russian clerk to il lustrate the feminine urge to pretty up. The clerk asked her, "You have an Elizabeth Arden, yes?" When Miss Knight agreed the U.S. did have an Elizabeth Arden cosmetic line, the clerk r NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS I am in no way associated with any offers of free Curtis Magazines. Signed ' RITA B.

Here are his answers to questions from t young people all over the world. Family r SJP Hr -Family Medford Mail Tribune asked. "She makes an eye shadow, yes?" The girl then said that a customer once left a tiny box of eye-shadow behind with some of the product still in it. She told Miss Knight she used it and "everyone told her it was most becoming." But, added Miss Knight, "there was no eye-shadow in the Soviet Union." Miss Knight said people were buying In Russian de partment svores even though nylon stockings were selling at about $4 a pair and dress materials ran about $30 a yard. She said she saw one wom an swathed in a "black sack arrangement-a heavy black wool jacket, high black boots and a babushka over her head. The woman pulled out a roll of rubles which would choke a horse" to pay for some flimsy material she was buy ing for a dress. Miss Knight's Russian guide explained that the purchase was probably a special occa sion. "But they are beginning to expect the extras," Miss Knight added. f EGGPLANT PARMIGIANO New York (UPD Packaged spaghetti sauce mix is the key to short-cut eggplant parmi- giano.
