1 0 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtfdford, Or. Thursday, Jan. 7. 1960 Colleen Hope To Return Home; Open House Set Miss Colleen Hope will re turn to Medford tomorrow after spending three weeks in the Hawaiian islands. Miss Hope was a guest of Miss Dal las Barnard, former Medford resident now living at Waiki- - lei beach, Honolulu. While in the islands Miss Hope, Medford dance instruc tor, made an extensive study of the Hawaiian hula dance. She writes that the ancient hulas were used for religious ceremonies, and danced to the accompaninment of a chanter who often beat the rhythm with an "epu" or large hollow gourd. The dancers also use "ell eli", small stones which they hold between their fingers and click together somewhat like the Spanish castanets Other rhythm instruments of the hula are the wi-wi gourds which are decorated with bright colored feathers: the "pu-ili" or split bamboo joints and the "kalaau", hard wood en sticks that are beaten to gether. Both the guitar and the ukulele, used so much to day to accompany the hula, are imported instruments and not part of the original Ha waiian culture, Miss Hope notes. The grass skirt, so general ly associated with the hula, is of very modern innovation and not a native Hawaiian costume, she added. Hulas were originally done in a "kikepa," a knee length sarong, and are now danced in a variety of bright, light colored cotton print costumes. Miss Hope will display some of these instruments, costumes and accessories at a Hawaiian hospitality open house at her studio on Hawthorne avenue Sunday, January 10, at 2 p.m. The general public, as well as friends and students of Miss Hope, are invited. Miss Hope will also demon strate the different types of Hawaiian dances and will teach to everyone one of the easier hulas as they are taught ' to guests at the leading Waiki ki beach hotels and aboard the luxury liners serving the 'islands. Those attending are -. asked to wear comfortable sports or Hawaiian type clothes so that they may join ; in the activities. Miss Hope . will be assisted by the Misses Katherine Scott, Louise Lull and Nancy Hopper, and Mrs. t. V. Barnard. During the trip Miss Hope visited the island of Maui and the 10,000-foot Haleakala vol canic crater, also the island of Hawaii where the Kilauea iki eruption just took place, and the Puna area, scene of volcanic eruptions in 1955 and now the center of daily earthquake activity. 4 Couple Returns Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Mullaney, 356 Lindero avenue, returned to Medford Monday after spending two weeks in Oak land visiting Mrs. Mullaney's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Mulholland. "Wool's Role Wool was probably the first fiber woven into a tex tile, as keeping flocks and herds was the first step up ward from savagery. The sheep was one of the first animals to be domesticated by man, its bucolic care influ ' enced primitive man to adopt a pastoral type of existence Fragments of woolen fabrics, often extremely fine and beautiful, have been found in tombs and ruins of Egypt, Ninevah and Babylon; in lake dwellers huts and the bar rows of early Britons, and among the relics of the Incas and the Aztecs. Women's Mews Social Events New York Mezzo-soprano Regina Resnik is shown with her husband, well known attorney Harry W. Davis, and their seven-year-old son, Micahel, in iheir New York home. Bal ancing the triple role of wife, mother and opera star keeps Miss Resnick busier than the exchange counters after Christ mas, but the star says that neither she, her husband nor their small son would want things any other way. (UPI Telepholo) Wife, Mother, Opera Star Enjoys Her Triple Role By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York lUPD Balancing the triple role of wife, mother and opera star keeps Regina Resnik busier than the ex change counters after Christ mas. But the blonde, blue-eyed mezzo-soprano said that nei ther she, her husband nor small son would want things any other way. "I don't think that any woman has to wash dishes and get red hands to fulfill her role as a homemaker," said Miss Resnik. "I do think that if I de voted all the attention to me, as some women in my pro fession do, my husband would soon tire of me. "But what I do on stage, in turn, would have no meaning unless there was the family at home." Married to Attorney Miss Resnik, New York- born and educated, is married to a prominent attorney, Har ry W. Davis. The couple has a son, Michael, 7. The singer was graduated from Hunter College, New York in 1942, and the same year she made her debut with the New York Opera company. Now one of the Metropolitan Opera's leading atractions, she is perhaps best known for the role of "Carmen," which she figures she has sung 125 times, at the Met or else where. The day we talked to Miss Resnik about an opera star's home life, she was about ready to concede she had very I little at home a six-room apartment because "we are dyed-in-the-wool cliff dwellers." She had arrived by train from Boston that morning, was scheduled to spend the afternoon in costume fittings, and sing at the Met that night. "I haven't had time for even a toothache," she said. "When there are two ca reers in one family, there has to be some tolerance," she said. "But I wouldn't think of asking my husband to give up law. In a way, his is an acting job too. Many Trips to Europe "Our family has one firm rule. We spend our weekends and summer vacations togeth er. Of course, it may be in Pakistan . . ." The singer then ticked off some of her travels: "In the last two years, six trips to Europe . . . concerts in the Midwest and back here, the Midwest again and back. In February, I'll go abroad again for concerts and opera in Paris, Stuttgart and Vienna. In the spring, on tour of the United States with the Metro politan." "Mike seems completely adjusted to have me away a lot," she said. "The last time I was catch ing a plane, he hugged me goodbye and said, 'don't wor ry, mommy. I'll take good care of daddy'." f Loyalty Day To Be Marked By Sorority Chapter Loyalty day will be observed January 9 - by alumnae of Pi Beta Phi, na tional social sorority, at a 12:30 luncheon at Rogue Val ley Country club. At the national convention of the sorority in 1946, this date was designated as Chap ter Loyalty day in commemo ration of the birthday of Car rie Chapman Catt, a noted alumna. Mrs. Catt was initi ated into the sorority in 1878 and until her death in 1947, worked untiringly first for woman suffrage and later for the promotion of world peace. She founded the National League of Women Voters, fought for acceptance of the League of Nations, was one of the first to advocate for mation of the United Nations, and, more than any other in dividual, was responsible for the adoption of the 19th Amendment providing for woman suffrage, the sorority notes. "Though numerous honors came to Mrs. Catt from na tional organizations and from foreign governments, she never ceased to be loyal to her chapter and to her fra ternity." a sorority spokesman said. "She is revered as a Pi Beta Phi of enduring national and international fame." Chairman for the luncheon is Mrs. Norton Smith, Med ford. Mrs. Elliott MacCrack en of Ashland is president of the club.

Let's also pretend that the following paragraphs were written about Jackson ville. "If in imagination we compress the present population of the world, now over two and a half billion, into a group of a thousand persons, living in a single town, this is what we would see: "Sixty persons would represent the U.S. population; all others would be represented by 940. The 60 Americans would have half the total income of the town: the 940 others would share the other half. "Thirty-six of the Americans would be Christian church members; 24 would not. In the town as a whole, about 300 would be Christians and 700 would not. At least 80 persons in the town would be Communists and 370 would be Com munist dominated. "The Americans would produce 16 per cent of the town's food supply, eat up all but lVz per cent of it and keep most of the remainder in expensive storage equipment for future use. Most of the non-Americans would always be hungry and the Americans would eat 72 per cent above the optimum food requirements. "The 60 Americans would have of the town's total supply: 12 times as much electric power as all the rest; 22 times as much coal: 21 times as much petroleum; 50 times as much steel: and 50 times as much in general equipment. "More than half the non-Americans would , never have heard of Christ. Yet the average Christian American family would be spending $850 a year for defense in force and less than S3. 50 a year to share with' the rest of the town the knowledge of why we celebrate Christmas." Most adults living in the United States know, more or less, that these conditions exist on a world-wide basis and most of us aren't very worried about it. We express sympathy, contribute to relief funds, send CARE packages overseas and sort out a few pieces of good, used clothing to be shipped to the less fortunate. Very few of us, it seems, send this year's new coat or our best wool suit. But it would be a different matter, we are sure, if in Jacksonville, or any other town of 1,000 inhabitants in the United States, 60 persons consumed 72 per cent more food than they actually needed and hid away quantities, while the rest went perpetually hungry. The above quoted material was written by Dr. Henry Smith Leiper, formerly executive secretary of the Missions Council of the Congregational Christian churches. Potpourri had it from Teacher Maxine Smith, who produced it from her dispatch case at a meeting. Time was when we hardly knew any women who carried pamphlets, treatises and quotations around in their purses and handbags. But these days almost every church leader, business woman or club member can dig down in her purse or brief case and come up with a bit of reading which interests, sobers and sometimes even shocks. Some travelers in Russia, believing the Russians to be godless, unprinciple people, are troubled to discover that there is almost no juvenile delinquency and that most Rus sians are very moral people. An explanation of this may be found in an article by Richard W. Judy, published in the Methodist church family magazine, Together. Mr. Judy spent last year at the University of Moscow as one of 22 American students studying in Russia under the new United States-Russian exchange plan. Speaking Russian fluently, Mr. Judy was able to learn much about Russia from his Russian classmates and other citizens. Mr. Judy says: "Communists are qualitatively unlike members of other political parties; they are more akin to Crusaders than to Democrats or Republicans. Those in the West who persist in regarding the leaders of the Soviet Union and of international Communism as sejfish bandits, murderers and thieves, are contributing to underestimate the seriousness of the situation. "The enemy is strong, but strength without will and faith is like muscle without nerve. The enemy's driving force is religion. The fact that this religion is secular does not deprive it of the power that all true religions possess, a power ground ed deeply in faith. Christians believe in God; Communists believe in the laws and forces of nature. "They believe that science has enabled men to discover these laws, that Marxism-Leninism is the scientific exposi tion of these laws, and that these laws are on their side. They believe that the victor in the struggle of 'peaceful co-exist ence' will belong to their system, which can provide men with the highest standard of material well-being.- "They believe this with all the force and conviction that a devout Christian or Moslem believes in his religion. The belief that the laws of history are on his side gives a man no less will, resolve and determination than the belief that God is with him. The belief that his cause is holy removes man's doubts, hesitations and fears; it galvanizes his will as nothing else can." Mr. Judy's quotation was provided by Pal Peg, who salvaged it from last week's flood of mail. Looking backward over the past 10 years, the New York Times had this to say about women's faces. "Women's faces underwent great change. Using all forms of fakery with no attempt to fool, women openly dyed their hair, applied false lashes, heavy eye make-up - even wore wigs. Pin curls were replaced by rollers for setting bouffant or upswept coiffures." Craig Claiborne, the Times' reporter who writes about food, says the past 10 years saw the elevating of public taste in this country, thanks primarily to international travel.' Americans now are acquainted with such "magnificent dishes" as quiche Lorraine, beef in Burgundy wine sauce, coq au vin and sukiyaki; they are nonchalant about smoked salmon from Nova Scotia, prosciutto from Italy, Maine lob ster, foie gras and caviar. The use of herbs and spices has increased fantastically -the sale of oregano leaped 1,200 per cent over 10 years ago. Vast increases have been noted for tarragon, basil and sesame seeds. A more varied menu in many instances has been due to the increase of frozen foods, Mr. Claiborne noted, and says that charcoal cookery has become the national rage. Charcoal is o.k., but we prefer coals made by burning vine maple or alder from the wood lot. And we'll bet that one of pappy's broiled rare steaks with the wood smoke flavor is every bit as good as beef in Burgundy wine sauce. -O.S.

Gaines, N.Y. -IUPD- It may come as a shock to modern house-wives, but powdered soups and dehydrated food stuffs are not new. Pumpkin flour, evaporated vegetable soups, and dehy drated fruit and vegetables were being produced by the Palmer Fruit & Vegetable Evaporatory in 1882. The ancient ledgers of the company were brought to light recently by Cary Lattin, Orleans County historian, who discovered that A. J. Pal mer's patented "perfection fruit evaporator" is still in operating condition. The basic ingredient for a dozen pies was contained in Palmers "pumpkin flour soaked." All 19th century housewives had to do was add water, brown sugar, an egg. butter, spices and milk and cook the mixture for an hour. "Mix well and bake in slow oven," the recipe said. "If you omit the eggs, use one ta blespoonful cornstarch, which adds largely both to appear ance and flavor." Even then, powdered food stuffs had their critics. Nine teenth century humorist Josh Billings bemoaned the demise of "good, old-fashioned pump kin pie baked in a platter 16 inches in diameter." Cleaning Tip New York -UPD- The porce lain enamel on electric rang es is essentially glass fused on steel, and should be hand led like glass in cleaning. Enamel parts should not be washed while the range is warm. Spots of vinegar, milk, tomato, lemon and other fruit juices should be wiped up im mediately to prevent dull spots caused by acids eating the shiny surface.
