Sisters Hold First Meeting
Jacksonville - Mrs. Hattie
Anderson, route 1, box 23 A,
returned Friday evening from
a visit in Everett, Wash.,
where she visited her sister,
Mrs. Maggie Day-a sister she
was seeing for the first time.
Mrs. Anderson was the
youngest of ten children and
was born after Mrs. Day, the
eldest, had married and left
home. Although the two wo
men kept in touch with other
members of the family they
did not start corresponding
until two years ago. Mrs. Day
moved from Minnesota to
Washington recently to make
her home with a son and Mrs.
Anderson planned the trip
north to visit her.

Blinds Said
Decorative,
Utilitarian
By JOYCE SCHULLER
United Press International
Chicago - (UPD - Venetian
blinds can be decorative as
well as utilitarian.
Five interior designers,
commissioned by the Venetian
Blind Institute, set out to
prove it by using blinds as
design elements in room set
tings. Everett Brown used Vene
tian blinds to create a "quiet
room." He ran extra-wide
slat blinds that close out light
completely from the ceiling to
the floor of a window wall
and placed four bamboo poles
in front of the blinds at even
intervals.
Ethyl G. Alper used Vene
tian blinds only on the lower
half of a row of windows. On
the upper half,-she hung flor
al brocade Roman shades. The
white blinds were gold-spattered
to blend with the
shades.
In a modern room design
by Mallory-Tillis, a slanting
window wall had white blinds
threaded with black tapes.
The blind-covered wall made
a background for statuary.
Two other designers did
not limit Venetian blinds to
windows. John Fitzgibbons
brought a gazebo, or summer
house, indoors by hanging
three blinds between four
floor-to-ceiling posts a few
feet from a row of windows.
The arrangement created an
alcove for statuary, plants,
and a rustic bench to break
the monotony and add archi
tectural interst to a square
apartment living room. The
institute suggested similar use
of blinds to divide a room or
create a dressing corner or
breakfast nook.
The designing firm of Man
ashaw and Daggett created
the most unusual effect with
blinds - across a ceiling. This
use is recommended for con
verted basements. Lighting
above the blinds, can be reg
ulated in intensity by fully
opening or partially closing
the blinds.

Professor's Thesis Material
Used by Medical Quarterly
Ashland An article by Dr.
Ruth E. B e b b e r, associate
professor of physical educa
tion at Soutern Oregon col
lege, has been published in
the winter- volume of the
medical quarterly "Clinical
Physiology."
The writing is an exerpt
from Dr. Bebber's thesis for
her doctoral degree from the
department of education, Uni
versity of Southern Califor
nia, and was inspired from
clinical observations by Dr.
Francis M. Pottenger Jr.,
M.D., Monrovia, Calif., assist
ant clinical professor of ex
perimental medicine.
Dr. Bebber's subject, "The
Relative Influence of the Ac
tivity of Artificial and Breast
Feeding on Facial Develop
ment" was chosen as a scienti
fic study to follow up the ob
servations by Dr. Pottenger
which indicated a relationship
between facial development
and infant feeding methods.
The study was proposed to
investigate the relative effects
of human nursing and artifi
cial feeding on the growth
and development of the width
of the face. Dr. Bebber used
X-rays taken from a basal po
sition of the head of the 340
subjects of the study for com
parative measurements. She
used this information, knowl
edge of the number of months
on the type of feeding, plus
the sex of the subjects to de
termine the strength of the
relationships of the two me
thods of feeding.
Her findings in this study
led her to conclude that an in
fant gets more exercise from
nursing than from bottle feed
ing, and that this exercise so
stimulates the malar promi
nences that growth in the
width of the face is greater
than in the artificially fed in
fant. Also the study revealed
that the methods of feeding
were not equally effective in
the growth and development
of the malar prominences of
the face. Dr. Bebber main
tained that the two sets of
data are independent and sig
nificantly different, and can
not be explained by chance.
"It is apparent from these
results that children who are
bottle fed do not have opti
mum development of the fa
cial region when the decidu
ous and permanent teeth are
being erupted, although most
people over twenty-five have
fairly well developed malar
prominences, regardless of
whether or not they were
nursed as infants," Dr. Beb
ber concludes.

Potpourri celebrated the Chinese New Year Thursday.
This festival has always intrigued ye editor, and when it
also means, an excellent Chinese dinner, then it is truly a
celebration.
Pappy and Potpourri, along with six or seven other
couples, were guests of Henry Fong and his head chef,
Lee Sheu, for a dinner at Kim's. In spite of the fact that
the staff of the restaurant had served the usual clientele
during the day, plus a large luncheon which honored
Senator Wayne Morse, Mr. Sheu, known to everyone as
Canton, turned out a delightful menu for his special guests.
We feasted on shrimp cooked in a catsup sauce, pine
apple sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour shrimp,
with a ginger sauce, a vegetable dish with celery, delicate
pea pods and chestnuts, chicken cooked American style and
various other delectables.
The guests not only "licked the platters clean" at our
table, but wandered into the other dining room and sampled
some of the tidbits which had been placed around the
restaurant's household goddess, Kwan Yin. It is one of the
old Chinese traditions that special offerings be placed
before the household goddess at midnight on the eve of
the new year.
Hairdressers Name Style
In Mrs. Nixon's Honor
whether female hairdressers MA,L TRIBUNE, Medford, Or.. Q
dressed their own hair. Sund.y, Jen. 31, 1960 AJ
By DICK WEST
United Press International
Washington (UPD - It looks
like the nation's hair styling
experts have given up trying
to make American girls look
like Italian boys.
I got a peek at the latest
hair fashions at a "sneak pre
view" of spring and summer
styles for 1960 as drafted by
the National Haid Dressers
and Cosmetologists associa
tion. This is the outfit that dic
tates the way ladies should ar
range their hair. Since men,
as onlookers, have vested in
terest in the matter, I felt it
my duty to see what was in
the wind.
On the whole, it was an
encouraging premier. Mrs.
Richard Nixon, wife of the
vice president, was there, as
were the wives of a goodly
number of senators. So were
about a dozen beautiful mod
els. The association announced
that one of the new hair
styles had been named the
"Pat-Tress" in Mrs. Nixon's
honor. I couldn't tell what
her present style is because
her hat was too big.
It seemed to me that the
committee is getting conserv
ative. I saw nothing that re
sembled an Italian boy or
even a French poodle.
That Italian boy fad was
one I never could understand.
If an American girl wants to
look Italian, I say she ought
to look like an Italian girl, j
say Gina Lollobrigida. ,
I also was happy to note i
that the recent upswept, or
Swiss Alp, hair style, which
required that all locks be
piled on top of the head, is
being toned down.
To quote from the associa
tion's press release, "The top
will have natural height to
suit the individual. Hair will
be dressed in a natural flow
of soft draped waves, drifting
with its natural growth direc
tion. Its silhouette will be less
bouffant than in previous sea
sons, with an almost total ab
sence of forced support of
back-combing."
I don't know exactly what
this means, but on the models
it looked good. As for color,
the association has decreed
that "the brownette has def
initely returned to the fa
shion scene."
Some of the ladies in the
audience, most of whom were
professional haird ressers,
hadn't gotten the message yet.
I say one coiffure that was
tinted, so help me, pinkish
orange. "What color is that?" I
asked a lady sitting nearby.
"Pink champagne," she
said.
Shuddering, I inquired
We had a $6 chicken lunch
and then settled back while

Henry and Canton and others of the staff had arranged
bowls of rice, preserved fruits, offerings made from rice j
flour, fried soy bean curd and other Chinese sweets around
the spot where the goddess sits. Henry Fong and Canton
explained that this custom is somewhat like the American
custom of placing flowers at the feet of statues.
Thursday night the smoke from several incense burners
curled around the goddess and floated through the rooms
of the restaurant.
It was explained that the food is customarily placed
around the goddess at midnight and remains for the full
24 hours of New Year's day. Henry F. admitted that "I
cheated a little" because he had not waited until midnight
but arranged the offering earlier.
For the Chinese, this is the "Year of the Rat," but some,
believing the rat to be a horrible creature, prefer to say
the Year of the Mouse. Anyhow, whether mouse or rat, it
is the year 4659 on the Chinese calendar.
Neither Henry or Canton were quite sure how the animals
for the various years were originally chosen. If Potpourri

recorded that the Chinese In Portland
failed to set off any firecrackers this year, preferring to
celebrate the new year more quietly. We didn't hear any
firecrackers at Kim's Thursday. One year, however, when
the restaurant invited friends for a special new year dinner,
Mr. F. sneaked into a corner and fired a few crackers. The
sudden noise almost panicked the guests.

Food Fat Resea
Corvallis - A three -year
study of the chemical com
pounds formed when the oxy
gen of the air. combines with
food fats may lead to new
ways of protecting food fla
vors and nutrients, a team of
Oregon State college agricul
tural experiment station sci
entists believes.
E. A. Day and R. O. Sinn
huber, food and dairy tech
nologists, will continue basic
studies of fat oxidation start
ed several years ago at OSC
with a new grant of $37,000
from the U.S. department of
health, education and wel
fare. Fat autoxidation, the com
bination of oxygen with fat,
affects both the consumer and
the food processor. When
foods are exposed to air,-oxygen
attacks the fats and
through a series of reactions
rancid flavors develop which
destroy natural flavors. Cer
tain of the essential nutrients
are also lost in the process. As
a result, the food becomes un
appetizing and less nutritious.
OSC scientists emphasize
that these food spoilage prob
lems are not serious in most
foods now on the market be
cause food processors have
taken the necessary steps to
protect foods through proper
processing, packaging, and
handling.
Sometime Serious
Autoxidation is serious,
Money For
rch Project
however, they say in the de
velopment of new and improv
ed foods. In many cases, new
and less expensive foods-such
as dried whole milk-could
be placed on the market if
the fat autoxidation could be
controlled. Dried whole milk
can be processed successfully
but on storage, oxygen rapid
ly attacks the milk fat and
an unnatural flavor develops.
There's also a possibility
that some of the chemical
compounds that develop in
highly rancid foods may have
harmful effects when eaten,
the food technol6gists point
out. OSC studies on salmon
and mink showed harmful ef
fects on the animals when
highly rancid fats were in
cluded n their diets.
First area of OSC research
will be a study of unsaturated
fatty acids, common in most
main food fats and most sus
ceptible to oxygen attack.
Later they will study com
plete fats such as vegetable,
milk and fish fats. Further
studies will then be conduct
ed to learn harmful effects of
facts when included in animal
diets.
