MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Wednesdiy, July 8, 19S9 Broilers Popular With Cooks Corvallia - Whatever hap pened to that old eating fa vorite, the spring fryer? Re member grandmother wring ing its neck and frying it as a special treat for a July pic nic. Tht spring-fryer type of chicken is still around, but nowadays it's just as apt to be a summer, fall, or winter fry er. And more often than not, it's sold under the name of broiler or broiler-fryer. Today's homemaker doesn't have to wring its neck, clean, dress or draw it, either. She can buy it cut up by the piece, or by the bird, cleaned and ready for the pan. Tht broiler industry has made Its product so easy for the homemaker the only con venience left would be to cook it for her, remarked Charles M. Fischer, extension poultry marketing specialist at Oregon State college. And some pre-cooked frozen broil ers are already appearing on the market. It's now possible to buy a cooked chicken hot off the electric roto-broil as well as a complete cooked chicken dinner in many re tail stores, Fischer points out. Broiler-fryers are sold so young (8 to 10 weeks old) and tender that tfcey can be cooked in about 45 minutes. This short time from the package to the table is so popular with homemakers that the volume of sales has increased tremendously since a few years back when the homemakers could buy only whole, eviscerated birds, Fis cher said. : The broiler-fryer industry began in Oregon in the mid 1930's. Before that, spring fryers were just unwanted extras from the farmer's egg laying flock.' Now, the breed ing and growing of broiler fryers is completely separat ed from the egg business. ' Last year, around 8 mil lion broiler-fryers were raised in Oregon. About twice that many were eaten in the state. Frying was once thought to be the only way to cook this type bird. Now broiling (whole or by the piece) and barbecuing are equally popu lar. Short-order restaurants are beginning to feature chicken deep-fat fried under pressure in a matter of min utes. It's quite a change from grandmother's day. ' Books on all phases of home decorating, from select ing color schemes to arrange ment of furniture, are avail able at the Jackson County public library. Russian Women To See U.S. Style Home-Sewing By CAY PAULEY UPI Woman's Editor New York-(UPD-Mrs. Martha Titus, a 35-year-old housewife, believes a little "girl talk" can go a long way toward bet tering our relations with the Russians "We've tried the diplomat to diplomat and people to peo ple approach," she said. "Why not refine things even further and try woman to woman?" In effect, this will be her job for six weeks at the United States exhibition open- Visitors Leave For California; Attend Sessions .

The ceremony will be followed by a social hour and refreshments, with officers as hostesses. Mrs. Leo Webster is senior regent. ing in Moscow July 25. But already she has run into the first Soviet "nyet." . The Huntington, W. Va. woman is the "typical home maker" who will help to dem onstrate to Soviet women home-sewing, U. S. style. Mc Call's Patterns, which is foot ing the bill for her trip, se lected her as representative of the 40 million American women who do some or all of their own family's clothes-making. Originally, Mrs. Titus and four professionals - two from McCall's and two from Singer -planned to fit clothes to the Russian women who visited the exhibit. Russian Refusal The pattern company said that the Russians refused to let its women participate in such a demonstration. A letter last week from the U. S. State Department telling of the re fusal did not explain the rea sons. But at least, Russian wom en will be able to see an American sewing machine perform, watch as Mrs. Titus cuts and fits clothes to any American women the com pany can locate in Moscow, leaf through7 catalogs showing the latest styles available to the home seamstress, inspect some of Mrs. Titus' handiwork on garment racks, and talk to the demonstrators. Mrs. Titus is the wife of a dentist and has two children, a girl, five, and a boy, two. She makes most of her own clothes and those of her daughter and figured she was selected for the Moscow trip for a couple of reasons. "They wanted someone whose husband's income was average . . . ours is that all right. And McCall's knew about me from the Congress of Better Living. I was a dele gate for two years." The annual congress in Washington gathers a batch of housewives . who air their gripes and suggestions in the home-building and furnishings fields. Reading Up On Russian To prepare for her first trip abroad "I've never been west of Ohio or east of New York before," Mrs. Titus has been reading up on Russian history and customs, cooking borscht for the family, and listening to Russian language records. "So guess who's the best linguist in the house?" she said. "My. daughter, Ansley . . . she's a born parrot." The housewife will travel with eight fall costumes the Pattern company made for her. She also will travel with several cartons of chewing gum. "I read that the Russian children clamor for gum," she said. "I imagine that's the only time I'll get really home sick, when I see the kids." , mi S3 V -TV S. v.J'' fi w Ml'-"" - -- Mrs. Martha Titus of Hunt ington, W. V., is shown here wearing a periwinkle blue sheer wool jacket dress which is part of the wardrobe she. will take with her when she leaves for Russia later this month.

New Electronic Hair Dryer May Change Beauty Routine Houston, Tex. - (UPD - A new electronic hair dryer which can dye, bleach or curl hair soon may eliminate long, hot sessions in a beauty shop. The dryer . has been de veloped by a Houston beau tician, Dallas Weatherholt. He and his partners have applied for patents on the machine and hope to have it manu factured and distributed na tionally. The . dryer utilizes radio short waves which Weather holt said can dry hair in one third the time needed under conventional dryers. The machine also is noise less and heat-free. In addition to drying hair quickly, the gadget will dye or bleach hair in a few min utes into hard-to-curl hair in about one minute; straighten or marcel hair; and dry finger nail polish. '. Weatherholt, a former Army barber turned beauti cian, started working on new methods of drying hair seven years ago. "I got tired listening to women complain about long sessions under a hot dryer," he said. : He first considered sound waves, then nuclear energy. But .neither was feasible with out possible dangers to both customer and operator. Final ly, he turned to electronics. Weatherholt and a consult ing engineer worked for four years perfecting their elec tronic dryer. When it was completed, they found many more uses for it. Weatherholt first experi mented on a rabbit. He dyed, bleached and dried the rab bit's fur many times before deciding the dryer would German Children Get Fluorine Tablets One answer to the hotly- debated question of fluorida tion to prevent tooth decay in children is the solution adopted by the city of Essen, Germany, where the country's first campaign is underway.

' Sprinkle with flaked coconut for a snowy topping. work on a woman. Then, the beautician experi mented on his wife. During one month, the attractive Mrs. Weatherholt's hair was 14 dif ferent shades, with no damage noted - except to the pride of her 12-year-old son, Monty. "Monty said one day he was ashamed of me because my hair was so many differ ent colors and asked me not to pick. him up at schs,"!," Mrs. Weatherholt said.
