To prove the point, let's explore some of our more color ful food colloquialisms and their origins. Unless of course, you have other fish to fry. Shakespeare, the Bible and proverbs are the sources for many phrases described -by Bergen and Cornelia Evans in "A Dictionary of Contempor ary American Usage." In Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra," the queen of the Nile speaks of love in her "salad days" when she was "green in judgment," hence our use of "salad days" to de note inexperienced youth. We are indebted to Shakes peare's Pistol, in "The Merry Wives of Windsor," for the metaphor, "the world's mine oyster," to describe the feel ing of ebullience that accom panies good fortune. - From the Bible"come: -"Salt of the earth," de scribing the good, kind, gen erous and modest folk who give life its savor. -"Apple of the eye" and "apple of his eye," from the Psalms and Deuteronomy, de noting something or someone especially precious or dear. "A land flowing with milk and honey," originally a poe tic description" of Palestine's natural richness, now a refer ence to any fruitful and weal thy land. Fish have figured in numer ous cliches. ' "Other fish to fry," mean ing something better to do, is attributed to two sources - a translation of a line from the French author, Rabelais, and a proverb in 17th century England. ' "Pretty kettle of fish," an embarrassing or irritating sit uation, has been traced to the practice at some parties in 18th century England of serv ing salmon that had been thrown live into kettles of boiling water to cook. "Neither fish, flesh, nor good red herring," is also a proverb, still used today to describe something of uncer tain origin. "Out of the frying-pan into the fire," applied to increas ing misfortune, is also of fishy origin. The Evanses describe this phrase as "one of the old est' and most widespread of proverbs. "Make no bones about, as a term for raising no objec tions, or being unscrupulous, has been in use for four, or five centuries, the dictionary says. Legislators and other free loaders who accept "junkets" can trace the origin of the word Itself to an Italian cus tom' of serving a sweet, cus tard-like dessert of milk and rennet on guinco, a rush. But rushes really linked with picnics and similarly festive occasions when they began to be used as ground coverings at the events. We still use the word "junket," in this context, although we've added a more cynipal definition - a trip taken at public expense ostensibly to gather information but actu-. ally for pleasure. Consider these other cliches involving food: - "Eat me out- of house and home"; "milk of human kind ness"; "bit off more than he can chew"; "eat your cake and have it too"; "cry over spilt milk"; "licked his chops"; "took with a gram of salt"; "upset the apple cart"; "pull ed the chestnuts out of the fire"; "butter wouldn't melt in her mouth"; "worth his salt"; and "warm the cockles of the heart.". Why do we continue to use such phrases? Could be we're just expressing a feeling de scribed in this line from George Bernard Shaw's "Man and Superman : "There is no love sincerer than the love of food." - ' Quick Driving Test You can test your "visual purple," or the ability of your eyes to adjust to the dark, by turning out the lights in your living room, say Murine Com pany researchers. If you can not see objects within two sec onds you are too deficient in vitamin A . to be assured of complete safety when driving. OVERWEIGHT?

(UPI Telephoto) Average Teen-Age Girl Has "Starvation" Diet By MARY LU MacDONALD United Press International Pullman, Wash. (CPD - The average American teen - age girl lives on a diet only slights ly better than that in many of the world's famine areas. But it is the. girl's own fault, ac cording to a recent national' nutrition study. Inez Eckblad, Washington State university's extension specialist, said the survey in dicates teenagers' diets are only slightly better in terms of food value than those in any of the world's starvation areas. Miss Eckblad is a member of the national 4-H committee on improving teenage nutri tion. The committee recently analyzed nutrition research studies conducted across the nation. . , She said six out of ten girls do not get a sufficient amount of one or more of the follow ing protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A, thiamine, ribofla vin and vitamin C. Essentials Listed '"The teenage diets especial ly lack calcium, iron and vita min C," she said. "And the closer the girl gets to matur ity, the poorer their diets and the fewer nutrients they get in the day's meals and snacks." The cause? One is the tradi tional "woman-worry" over WHIP SALAD DRESSING Reg. Yeu Don't Have Your Savings at Sixth and Grape Open 7 Days a Week Until 9 P.M. Social Events weight. But another is the ever popular candy-popcorn-pop routine which ranks high with teenagers. "Empty calorie . foods -sweets, potato chips or carbo nated beverages - do not have the essential food elements that growing teenagers need," says Miss Eckblad. She said the average teenage girl needs at least 2,400 to 2,600 calories a day. And the cure? "Certainly the parents can't supervise mouthfuls their youngsters eat," said Miss Eckblad. - Parents can, however, make sure that meals taken in the home' contain needed nutri ents, and the food specialist at WSU suggested using the "big four" food groups as a daily guide. This includes the milk, meat, vegetable-fruit and the breads-cereal groups. She said that four and usually more glasses of milk daily are es sential but ' cheese and ice cream could substitute for part of the milk supply. The food specialist also urg ed that two or more servings of meat be included in the day's diet. . ' Dark green or deep yellow vegetables provide the es sential vitamin A and should be used at least every other day. Four and usually more servings of bread or cereals aaiiy are also recommendea.' 35c to Wait for Groceteria! 7 (s& to (mm To Open Season Friday Evening ' Portland - Robert Mann, a distinguished alumnus of the Portland Junior Symphony Orchestra, will be guest solo ist and conductor of a com position of his own at the first concert of the orchestra's 36th season, November 28, at the Civic Auditorium. In ad dition to the gala perform ance at 8:30 pjn., an abbre viated concert is scheduled for n a.m. for grade school students. Junior Symphony conduct or Jacob' Avshalomov will step from the podium after intermission so that Mann may lead the orchestra in his own delightful fable ' titled "The Terrible Tempered Con ductor," featuring his wife Lucy Rowan as narrator. Both are coming from New York City for the event which has been arranged as part of Ore gon's Centennial celebration. A contest has been an nounced among grade school students for the two best drawings of the "most ter rible conductor." Conductor Avshalomov re ports that the students in this season's orchestra have re sponded with skill, enthus iasm, and creative imagina tion to the music of their first program of the season. The concert opens with what has been called the most famous of all symphonies, Beetho ven's Fifth. The orchestra then joins its famous alumnus in Mozart's "Violin Concerto in. G major." Several of the Sla vonic Dances by Dvorak end the program on a joyful note. Robert Mann has attributed the. inspiration and primary training for his musical career to his playing with the Junior Symphony ' orchestra during the seasons 1935-1939. He has taught, conducted and com posed and is now the first violinist of the world famous Juilliard String Quartet. .

Actress Not Afraid Of Old Age By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York (CPD Blossom Seeley, whose show business career spans more than half a century, says it is easy for her to tell when a wom an is afraid of age. She identi fies such a woman as the one who comes up to her and savs. Gr.j Pauley "my mother used to take me to see you when I was a little girl . . ." ; Said he singer - actress: "Now, I know that the wom an is 15 years older than I am. But she's afraid of her age. She also is saying to herself, 'How come Seeley looks so good!' "I can spot the remember when a mile," said Miss See ley. "I usually try to get away fast." . The actress didn't want to be pinned down to her own age, but her biography shows she was singing professional ly in her native San Francisco at the time of the big earth quake in 1906. "Youth is a beautiful thing," said Miss Seeley, "and we all like to hang on to it. I think I've done pretty well. But I've been through that glamour-puss stage. Now I'm simply a mature woman still blessed with a talent to enter tain.",, 'And entertaining she still is, although she now is a solo act. Benny Fields, her hus band and partner for nearly four, decades, died of a heart ailment August 16. . Ed Sullivan signed her al most immediately for four ap pearances this winter on his CBS-television show. She has kept one date: The next is set for February 14. "It was. hard to work out my own routine," she said in an interview. "Benny and I had worked as a team almost continuously since the 1920s. "At the dress rehearsal, I got any awfully empty feel ing. Benny and I always came on stage holding hands.".' "I'm not trying to sound heroic, but I get up every day like a gay blade. I don't say I'm not lonely, because I am. Benny was a wonderful man. This . hardest time is in the evenings." Husband and wife teams which succeed in show busi ness are rare. But the Seeley and Fields combination was a hit first in vaudeville, then on Broadway, in the movies and as recording artists. In 1950, Paramount filmed their life story - "Somebody Loves Me", with Betty Hutton play ing Miss Seeley, Ralph Meek er doing Fields.
