(UPI Telephoto) Jet Cook Prepares Food In Booth-Sized Galley By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York-ftTD-Eileen Gilligan is a short order cook with some of the fanciest fare and the best-known fares in the world. She regularly prepares seven course dinners for 40 per sons in workspace about twice the size of a the telephone booth. Even kibitzers like comedian Danny Kaye and singer Kay Starr don't shake the aplomb of this 28-year-old Pakistan born brunette beauty, a galley attendant in the first class section of overseas Jet clippers for Pan American World Airways. Jet service increased her workload, the petite (5-foot I iVa-mcnj stewardess said in an interview as she began her second year aboard the fast planes. Instead of heating cooked food from airport flight kitchens, she cooks roast beef (three roasts of five pounds each) in flight, and steaks and chops to order in two specially - designed electro-ray ovens. She also heats exotic fare, including game birds.' sweetbreads and lob ster thermidor with appropri ate vegetables. This is in addition to dish ing up 40 elaborate continent al dinners in about four hours. Her schedule leaves little time for hob-nobbing with celebri ties aboard. So they come to her, she explained. Danny Kaye once spent an entire flight at the galley, she said. He staged a one-man show for her benefit and asked when she was going to stop working long enough to laugh. Many Compliments Many male passengers come back after " dinner to extend their "compliments to the chef," but few women do, she added. Perhaps because the ladies are so tired of kitchen chores, they're uninterested in seeing quantity meals pre pared in such close quarters. One woman passenger who did insist on helping was Kay Starr, probably the most glamorous dish dryer the air line ever had. This KP assign ment was a one-time thing, the stewardess added; dish washing customarily is done by ground flight kitchens. Miss Gilligan's busy routine on four to five round trips a month leaves the pretty stewardess reluctant to spend her days off in the kitchen in her apartment in Forest Hills, N.Y. I still can't cook except in a plane." she insisted. "I learned to scramble eggs by doing it in flight for 70 per sons, in batches of 10 servings each." New Problems No matter how small their kitchens, earthbound hostess es never face two problems Miss Gilligan meets regularly. Such as passengers who de cide to roam the narrow aisle just as dinner is served. Or those who ask to delay din ner, not realizing that the jet plane's speed would get them to their destination ahead of dessert if their request were granted. Fortunately, a purser and two cabin stewardesses take care of ordering and serving. This is done by seat numbers, so Miss Gilligan rarely knows who ordered what. But she is snre that rare roast beef is the all-time favorite. One problem she shares Friday, Jan. 15, 1960 with the rest of us varying thicknesses of roast Keef cuts makes guesswork of timing, she said, but she hasn't burned a roast yet. And she has escaped the crisis faced by another flying cook who had dinner ready to serve when a group of Mos lem passengers explained it was time for evening prayers. While the roast cooled, they knelt in the aisle, facing Mec ca, and prayed for about 30 minutes. -t Tournament Announced For Sunday Medford Duplicate Bridge club will hold a two-session team-of-four tournament Sun day, January 17, at Girls Community club.

Women's News Fabrics for Spring Fabricated By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -(LTD- Some fab rics for spring add up to a lot of fabrication. Silks are labeled worsted because they are woven to look like that smooth-finished wool. Wools are dubbed chiffon when they're so filmy they need a lining for mod esty. Or, they're called linen when they're woven to look like that fiber. Pique, once a ribbed cotton, now also is a ribbed silk. Silk and dacron are blended into a tweed for suiting. Chantil ly lace is dyed into a plaid, of all things. And even striped cotton ticking is cast in an off-pace role. One designer uses it for cocktail and din ner dresses. One characteristic light ness is universal for spring, no matter what the fabric name. Designers brag about four-ounce wools and feather weight tweeds. Fabrics are both textured and flat in sur face. Checks and plaids small, medium and large - run through the collections which New York couture members are showing this week for visiting fashion reporters. And cotton gingham, pin-checked, gets a glamour treatment with all-over coverage of sequins. Varied Print Designs Prints never have been prettier, or more plentiful, with soft misty color and artistic design. These include small geometries, all - over florals, abstracts, tone on tone, and some conversation makers-theater ticket stubs, I French calendar dates and I seaweed motifs. Here are highlights from individual designers who showed Wednesday: Anne Fogarty-This design er balances her collection be tween the slim and the full skirted dress. She calls the slim the "quarter moon sheath." with tab belt to ac cent the waist. The full is typically Fogarty - bouffant skirt with layers of petticoat. Larry Aldrich-This design er predicted that the next ma jor fashion change would be toward the lengthened torso. He lengthened it either by leaving the waist unbelted and giving an unbroken line from bust to hipbone, or with wide, crushed suede belts swung low. Harry Frechtel-Checks and plaids dominate the suit and coat group. Skirts look nar row but are easier to move in, oecause oi uouoie yicai gores. Vera Stewart-This design er is best known for- her sweater - dress coordinates. Cashmeres cardigans dyed to match the dresses came with pipings or fagoting of the silk print of the dress, identical chalk or crystal headings, or miniature flower baskets. Ben Reig - Elbow length cape and cape effects were used in many daytime cos tumes and the cape look car ried over into evening wear with huge collars on chiffon dresses. Reig suits came in four variations. The waist defining suit had a wedge-like cut to the bodice of the jacket and a skinny skirt. The non chalant suit had a hint of fit through the bodice and the jacket ended at the upper hipbone. One group was leather-belted to create a peplum effect in the jacket. The cropped suit had a jacket of bolero length and was shown with both slim and pleated skirts. Nettie Rosenstein-The de signer softened the silhouette by raising the neckline of dresses,' deepening the arm holes and giving a loose look to sleeves. She lowered the waistline with shirred detail- Plans Made For Songfest Rogue Camp Fire Girls council will hold the monthly songfest Saturday. January 16 in the Medford YMCA Social hall.
