The tiny brunette is one of a rare breed in the television industry; so far as she knows, there are only three women writing comedy for the home screens. mill i Miss Patricia Griffin ; Jewelry Maker ;On Program for i Ashland AAUW Ashlan d Miss Patricia Griffin, Seattle, Wash., will i exhibit her handcrafted jew-j ; elry at the February meeting ; of the Ashland Branch, ; American Association" of Uni 'versity Women, tonight at :7:30 o'clock in the College ' Commons.

' I 1 1 b Z & & J I rfi1 - - i' Wednesday, Feb. 10, 1960 "But I am not a career girl," she said, "and I don't want to be one. I write for the same reason any other creative person produces; I have to. It is rather like the man who wanted to climb Mt. Everest 'because it's there'," Popular Myth "Unfortunately," she said, "because of this cult, the av erage girl showing up today feels that if she is at the right drug store counter at the right time, she will be dis covered and go on to fame and fortune. "This glorification is so much nonsense. Yet the movies perpetuate it. So do books and magazines and oth er media." "And what happens? The girls by the thousands come into business, neither because they must earn a living or satisfy an emotion drive, but because it's the chic thing to do. "They have no idea of the dedication, of the years of work, which produce the Mar garet Meads and the Mar garet Bourke-Whites. "It is no wonder we have such a bad time in the mascu line world. The men resent the fact that so many aver age, ordinary girls are being spoiled for wifehood and motherhood." Miss Kallen, Toronto-born and educated, was trained to be a concert pianist. But while in school, she organized a little theater group and wrote many of the skits and songs for the shows. In the late 1940's, she sold a script for a Helen Hayes radio show and decided it was time to try New York. She was writing night club acts and off-Broadway revues when Max Liebman, the tele vision producer, spotted her. "I think he hired me be cause I looked like Sylvia Fine," said Miss Kallen. Miss Fine is the wife of comedian Danny Kaye and writes much of his material. Salute To West She was on Liebman's staff for "six or seven years" when he was producing the "Your Show of Shows series. Now, she is a free-lancer but Lieb man hired her to help with his latest production - the U.S. Steel Hour's "American Cowboy", televised tonight. The show is a comedy por trayal of the West in sketch es, songs-and dance. Miss Kallen said in her opinion there are few women in her field because "this is a back - breaking, frustrating profession" where you are subject to the combined pres sures of the client, the agency, the star and all technical facets of the medium. 'And I don't pretend that working hasn't affected the job I do as a mother," she said. She is the wife of an engineer and has two chil dren, a boy of 6 and a girl of 3. But at least," she said, "I don't try my lines out on them. My family's never the guinea pig."

Applegate class" of 25 candi dates was initiated into Rogue River council. Knights of Columbus. Mr. and Mrs. Applegate and their daughter, Miss Ella Applegate, were guests of honor at a Rogue Valley Country club banquet which climaxed a day of initiation activities. About 200 Knights and their guests attended the event. Several officials of the or ganization were in Medford to participate in the day's program. Included were Jo seph H. Blissenbach, The Dalles, Ore., state deputy; Edward J. Bell, Stayton, Ore., state secretary; Raymond J. Martin, Eugene, state chair man of decent literature com mittee; Robert Higgins, Eu gene, supreme council insur ance representative; Phillip Heidt, Eugene, deputy of Dis trict 7; John L. Hochstatter, deputy of District 8; Paul Bel- lendorf, grand knight of the Roseburg council; and Frank L. Williams, grand knight of Grants Pass council. Also attending the banquet were several members and their wives from Eugene, Roseburg and Grants Pass councils. I State Secretary Bell, who has known Mr. Applegate for many years, introduced the honored knight to the ban quet guests and presented him with the council's gift, a gold chain and watch-fob bearing the emblem of the order. It was pointed out that Mr. Applegate has been active in the Catholic men's organiza tion since his initiation in 1912, and in the Rogue River council since 1920. For many years he served as financial secretary and until last year was a trustee of the council. Many valley residents will recall that Mr. and Mrs. Applegate (the former Lida Williams) celebrated their golden wedding anniversary five years ago on July 19, and on that day renewed their marriage vows in St. Joseph's church in Jackson ville where their wedding had taken place in 1905. Four of the couple's six children are living. Besides Miss Applegate, there are Mrs. Thomas R. Barry; Captain John L., who is a jet pilot in structor at Laredo, Tex.; and Richard, who received world wide attention a few years ago while a prisoner for 18 months of the Chinese Com munists. He now lives in Chi cago, where he is an assistant director of the Institute of American Strategy. Grand Knight Thomas W, Dugan of the Medford coun cil, who was master of cere monies at the banquet, pre sented Mr. Applegate with a second "surprise" gift, a new seat for the bicycle which is as well-known as its owner. This prompted the recipient to reminisce about his first bicycle, a second-hand chain less model which he purchas ed in 1904 when he Was man ager of an Indian trading post in Klamath county. He has ridden bicycles ever since, and the only new one he ever owned was soon stolen, he re called. Guest speaker at the initia tion banquet was State Depu ty Blissenbach, who asked all knights to act as a committee for welcoming newcomers into the parish and the com munity, and encouraged them to be ready to meet the chal lenges which face you."

Here, under the instruction of Arthur Glynn (right) Cooking Classes Combat By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York-dTI)-The Madison Square Boys Club fights de linquency with food cooked by youngsters where welfare is at stake. No temperamental French chef is more enthusiastic about his work than these juvenile cooks, in blue jeans, T-shirts and sneakers. But for a different reason. Club officials speculate that most 9-to-l 4-year-olds sign up for lessons to satisfy voraci ous appetites. They were making brownies the day I dropped in, but the curriculum also includes many foreign foods, said as sociate director Lawrence "Larry" Weill. Thirty-seven nationalities are represented among the club's 1,500 mem bers. The only recipe require ments established by teacher Arthur Glynn are the ease of making, fun of prepara tion, and moderate cost. . Pancakes are the current favorite, Glynn said. Weill said that the eight member cooking classes al ways have held their own in popularity with swimming, woodworking and "gym." The Anthony Del Valle, 12, and Michael Gago, 13, (at front) lake a batch of brownies from the oven. (UPI Telepholo) culinary course of six weeks was started about 45 years ago at the facetious sugges tion of some of the boys. Equipment Old The kitchen is a sparsely furnished lOVi-by 21 -foot room with . old - fashioned equipment. But "the pupils seem indifferent to surround ings, preferring to concen trate instead on cooking and mischief. "Turn your back for a sec ond to settle a rumpus and someone forgets to put baking powder in the biscuits," Glynn said. Or, swipes chopped nuts intended for cookies-which happened dur ing my visit. When guilt can be estab lished immediately, as it was in the chopped nut incident, the culprits are dismissed for the remainder of the two- Delinquency hour session. "But I've thrown more boys out for profanity than any thing else," said Glynn. His pupils come from a low-in-c o m e, overcrowded city neighborhood. The boys get no chance to claim unfairness of oppor tunity. Each class prepare the same dish. This culminates in an annual spring contest in which the 12 boys who have shown the greatest improve ment compete for a triple prize-a silver cup engraved with the winner's name, lunch at a famous hotel, and a tour of its kitchens. Surprisingly, the classes and contest don't lure many boys into culinary careers. Weill estimated that only about 30 per cent are seri ously interested in cooking. Both he and Glynn explained that most pupils look upon it as a recreation activity. A rare exception is a pupil of several years ago, Tony LaPorta, who today is a chef at one of New York's best and most expensive restaurants. in Hosiery Our exclusive "Better Than Gold" propor tion fit nylons are exactly what the name implies.
