HEARTY MAIN DISH-Treat your family to this handsome Chefs Alpine Salad; a hearty nutritious main dish that combines assorted greens, slivers of Swiss cheese and other flavorful good things ready for tossing.

Icebure lettuce, i favorite standby, compact and crispy; slices well for "simple dinner accompaniment salads, shreds well as salad base, is highly regarded when cut in wedges. Can be used with any salad dressing except a fruited one. Romaine, slender and spear like, is an all-purpose green. It makes a decorative base for large and small service, is good for garnish, may be serv ed alone with a distinctive dressing or find ai colorful place in the tossed salad. Chicory, fine curled endive, is tops for decorator touches with any salad. Escarole, broad leafed en dive with deep-green spiny leaves; at its best in the chopped or tossed salad.

Chef's Alpine Salad Is Deluxe Main Course 'VVisiting with friends asso ciate dr. w i t h Switzerland Swiss Cheese association, the classic cheese, of the Swiss Alps, we asked them for their most highly prized mam-dish tossed salad receipe; asked them too for ways of using up final bits of Swiss cheese which have that special nutti- ness tht makes it good to the last crumb. - baying, as mignt be ex pected, that slivers of their famed cheese makes' any chefs salad a very superior item, they gave' us this recipe which makes ' six ' generous servings. 6 cups assorted crisp salad greens 2 cups Switzerland Swiss . cheese, cut in strips IV2 cups cooked ham, in strips 2 large tomatoes, in wedges 1V2 cups sliced radishes 1 cucumber, in thin slices V2 cup garlic croutons Salt and pepper Salad oil Tarragon vinegar Tear salad greens into bite- size pieces. Combine greens, Swiss cheese, ham, tomatoes, radishes, cucumber, croutons Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss lightly with salad oil and vinegar in equal portions or two salad oil to one vinegar, if preferred. Ways to Use Up Bits of Swiss Cheese Here's a baker's dozen of hints using the distinctive fla vor of Swiss cheese right down to the last crumb. Grate the cheese and sprin kle on parsley or chive-buttered egg noodles ... on hot buttered broccoli ... on hot whole cauliflower -. . . add to canned tomatoes while heat- ing sprinkle on spaghetti and meat balls ... sprinkle over canned chili, on onion or tomato soup or on minestrone. - Add grated Swiss cheese to hamburgers . . . toss with cole slaw - . . sprinkle over pine apple slices arranged on salad greens . . . and of course use It in famed Caesar salad. For Salad Success Keep It Simple ' If you are to achieve full salad success, follow the basic principles of good design -balance, proportion, unity. Use color with a lavish hand but with good taste. Think of color in relation to the rest of the menu but don't try too hard for color schemes. Avoid unusual or cluttered arrangements,., heart shaped molds, green pepper boats, fruit baskets may be all right for special party service but for most occasions, the simple, beautiful salad is the best. Garnish if you will, but lightly. One radish rose may be much prettier than three. Give shape to mixed salads by mounding .or molding -use chopped mixture in let tuce cups or as filling Mor scooped-out tomato. .Put ingredients together lightly; the salad should never have a "set" look. Serve salad accompani ments for added interest; gar lic oreaa, xoasiea Dreaa strips, bread sticks, one or more of the many salted cracker, varieties. Summer Slaws Popular Cabbage salads either made with chopped '.or shredded cabbage alone or in' combina tion with celery, olives, green peppers, .hard-cooked eggs, fruits either fresh, canned or dried. Use' a well seasoned dress- Piclcin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH William W. Sherid, of Val lejo, Calif., stopped over in a tour of VA hospitals he has just completed, and gave an exhibition of roller skating in the theater that drew con siderable applause. Sherid is a World War II veteran who met with an ac cident in basic training which handicapped him for life. He fell 30 feet from a tower at Camp Roberts, Calif., and his right leg became fully para lysed. He wears a 20 pound brace and has only six inches of muscle from the hip down. Notwithstanding this dis ability, he started to learn all over again how to walk, bowl, dance and finally to skate. It took four years. Now his in terest is to show disabled veterans that with persever ance, the handicap . can be overcome. "I have visited all of the VA hospitals in this region now," he said, adding that his appearance at Camp White completed the circuit. Sherid is 35 and a native of Port land. He had been a profes sional skater before he was injured. Chief Engineer B. R. Sims was careful in the building of Memorial Stadium to provide the utmost protection for pa trons against balls batted into the pavilion. A heavy wire mesh screen was stretched from end to end. But in the recent game "be tween the American Legion Juniors of Medford and Cen tral Point, a foul ball did fall into the stands.' It came through the small opening at the roof and couldn't happen again in a thousand tries. An alert youngster, as usual, re trieved the ball. Cliff Johnston, who handles the Portland Journal at the domiciliary, spent most of June in the Portland VA hos pital. While he was gone, Walter Odegard took care of the concession. Odegard has a hobby in the garden he cul tivates next to the administra tion building. It is a show place for visitors who like flower arrangements. Last week Odegard was sent to Vancouver hospital and Cliff Johnston is returning the favor by taking over work on the garden for him while he is gone. SHOCKING Carmi, 111. (LTD - A wind storm .proved a "shocking" experience to Flint, a boxer dog. The dog's owner had fastened him to a television tower guy wire with a chain. As the tower swayed in the wind,-it shorted against a live wire, giving" Flint a jolt each time it made contact. He broke away and suffered no ill effects. ing as a blender. .Slaws are all-purpose; may be served as appetizer, garnish, accompa niment salad, as crisp contrast to cold meats and salad sand wiches or as a relish on the salad plate. Country Coleslaw. Blend one cup sour cream with two tablespoons sugar and two ta- kblespoons vinegar. Shred three cups crisp cabbage, sprinkle with salt and pepper; add the cream dressing, toss lightly and serve at once. Makes four salad servings. Many like to add a sprinkling of celery seed, a little chopped green onion, shredded carrot or green pepper, or all three. Manager Henry C. Herzog and Dr. A. S. Anderson, chief medical officer, are attending the American Legion state convention in Portland this week. Eugene Orr, national rehabilitation officer, and other local Legionnaires will be on hand for the festivities and. the naming of a new slate of officers for the department of Oregon. A few of the members were pleasantly surprised last Sat urday when a party of visitors with refreshments and cigar from Woodburn, Ore., arrived ettes. They represented the American Legion auxiliary and included Col. and Mrs. E. T. Sims, the latter presi dent of the Woodburn auxil iary, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Hicks, and Mrs. Minnie Zah now, Red Cross gray lady, who is back on the job at Camp White. - The Woodburn Legion post sent the cigarettes. The in terlude was a "break" from the heat and the ' resultant ennui. The trials and tribulations of being a coordinator of fine arts in the Oregon Centennial celebration, were reviewed by Prof. Arthur Kreisman, of SOC, at a gathering Monday afternoon at the Ashland col lege. This is a regular sum mer feature, attended by read ers and writers of the domicil iary. Red Cross gray ladies cooperate with Enid Holmes, librarian, by furnishing trans portation. Dr. Kreisman, while disap pointed with some aspects of the art program, gave evi dence of excellent results in modern painting, and in poet ry as well as story writing. Noles on one of Southern Oregon's tourist attractions: - Jacksonville has a charm that, is more than historical . . . a street arched with hun dred year old maple trees and rolling farm land surrounded by the most picturesque view of the Siskiyou mountains visible anywhere. The impression is all en hanced by the atmosphere of days long ago, old buildings memory packed with ways of life that are no more. It is a little New- England village, with associations that go back to Colonial America. There' is. little to remind anyone of the gold rush. The ghost places hardl compare with other ghost towns of mining days. The old hotel, the Beekman bank, and even the Museum building are re minders of what Jacksonville started out to become - the county seat and "middle point" in travel between San Francisco and Portland. You capture an aura of en chantment in Jacksonville by getting away from city traffic and visiting a "city that might have been." According to historical ac counts, the gold seekers who "rushed" to Jacksonville in 1851, were more respectable than those who headed to Cal ifornia, Colorado and Nevada. They built a church, which is still standing, and when the gold deposits were exhausted, they remained, many moving to "Middleford" which be came Medford, the name of a town in .Massachusetts. Coming here from the Wil lamette valley, they were im pressed by the richness of the Rogue valley soil and decided to cultivate the land instead. ALMOST MURDERED--Mrs. Norma Briggs is assisted out of ravine near os Angeles where her husband ran their car off the road in an attempt to kill her. Briggs stopped the car on the steep road, got out, and then let it run over the edge of the shoulder, carrying his wife and her mother. Note overturned car in background, and bandages on Mrs. Briggs' head. Black Widow Spiders Are Common in This Region Black widow spiders are fairly common in southern Oregon but do not present the danger many people be lieve, according to health authorities -and others inter ested in the arachnids. - Dr. . A- E. Merkel, county health officer, said although there are "quite a few" local ly, and they are poisonous, the black widow is not as dangerous as many believe. Victims usually become sore and swollen, but death is rare. He said no death had been reported here, but bites, believed - made " by a black widow have been reported in the past. - The spider identified by the red hour glass on its abdo meri, usually may be found under porches or in unused basements or other secluded, dark and cooler areas of the United States. Wary of Civilization Like many insects, they tend to be wary of civiliza tion. Although the black widow's venom is more potent than that of the rattle snake, it is not administered in as large quantities. Their few assets include catching houseflies and other annoying . insects in their webs, although such an aid hardly outweighs the poten tial danger in their bites. A Southern Oregon profes sor who was recently present ed with a large black widow said he was flooded with calls from other persons who could . also give him such a gut. Science departments seek more unusual . specimens which are not' so prevalent in this area, the professor said. Educational Program To Prevent Fires Set A stepped up educational will include co-operation with program to alert the public to the forest fire hazards in this area has been announced by the Southern Oregon Con servation and Tree Farm as sociation. Prospects of continued dry weather heighten the need for extreme caution in" forested area, Bob Kline, chairman of the SOCTFA public informa tion committee, stated, and everyone who uses the woods is asked to be especially alert to fire safety regulations. The association program Two Area Students Receive Awards Corvallis - Johanna M. Do brot of Central Point and Richard L. Brown of Eagle Point have been awarded partial-tuition scholarships for 1959-60 at Oregon State col lege. . . .. They were selected to. re ceive one of the $168 . partial tuition study grants given by the state system of higher education to encourage out standing and worthy students to complete, their education. Each school in the state sys tem of higher education gives a limited number of the schol arships. . ; Brown will be a junior majoring in civil engineering. Miss Dobrot will be a sopho more in the school of science. Her home address is 2044 Scenic ave. . 4 other private and public agencies in taking the story to the public and will include news stories,, television re minders, radio announce ments and visual reminders in the form of signs and posters. Reminds Residents - Kline reminded residents that a major portion of the economy of southern Oregon is derived from the forest crop and everyone has a stake in keeping their protection. Timber is a renewable crop and can be perpetuated, Kline said. Forests mean jobs, farm income and raw materials for industry. For these reasons, we need to protect them from forest fires, he added. According to national fig ures, forest fires each year burn enough wood to make paper for every daily news paper published in the United States. These staggering fig ures demonstrate the need for a stepped up campaign to pre vent man caused forest fires, Klme concluded. . x MAIL TRIBUNE. McdfarJ.
