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.

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.

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.

We don't know how many people are living in Jackson
ville, but let's pretend that it is a thousand. 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.

Pre-Cooked Cereal

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.
