f I , WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22. 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. C 9 Feeding the Family By ZOLA VINCENT Fee Iditor Plif Many Holes Now is the season of delight ' In casseroles. The casserole is a dish of many talents, capa ble of appearing in many i guises. Its content accommo J dates itself to the rest of the cast. It can loaf in the oven ! or linger in the chafing dish. The casserole stays at home and it goes to parties with i equal aplomb. It goes to the : table or sits on the sideboard . (now called a buffet). ; The casserole appears in ' transparent heat resistant glass, gaily colored vitreous china, earthenware, porcelain, enameled cast iron, California clay pottery and in metal. It can be used on the range, in the range, plugged in or kept hot on the barbecue. - Its shapes and sizes are be yond numbering. The ubiqui- ( tous casserole even comes in : mix or match ensembles. It can house anything from hearty chowder to chocolate i souffle. . Casserole Car Before we put anything in our star performer, let's con i sider Its care lest its life be shortened needlessly. Unless j the casserole is of cast iron or , copperware or carries a guar , anty against any casualty, ' here are things to remember: To cook on top of stove : with pottery, glass or china, Ill ftt&Eir MW II 1 H'l U m -ECfii-' oca; -i use an asbestos pad or an iron flame protector under the utensil. Begin with a slow flame, in creasing heat gradually. Nev er place an empty casserole over the flame nor in a hot oven. Avoid sudden change of temperature from very cold to very hot or vice versa un less the guaranty says it's okeh. If your prepared casserole has been stored in the refriger ator or freezer, place the dish in warm water to remove the chill. Never place a hot casserole on an extremely cold or damp surface. Do not pick up a hot casserole with a wet cloth or pot holder. Do not pour cold liquids into a hot casserole. If you wish to increase the liquid in the dish after cooking for a while, heat the liquid to be added. Do not put cold butter or oil into a hot casserole. Put the cold substance into the casserole when it is cold, then heat the two together. It is always wise to grease the cas serole before adding the in gredients. If your casserole is tin lined copper, handle it with loving care. Protect table tops from a fast scorching by the use of tiles, trivets, hot pads or adequate cork mats. Now you're enjoying cas serole cooking at its best. Dad's Hearty Rarebit Family andor company will enjoy this hearty rarebit baked and served en cas serole. It's a favorite with men and growing boys.

(Science Service) - There is new hope for men who have had surgi cal operations for sterilization. A California doctor has per fected a hollow-split technique to restore fertility in such cases and so far it has been successful. Dr. Stanwood S. Schmidt, a urologist practicing in Eu reka, Calif., told the Ameri can Medical association here that presently established techniques failed 50 per cent of the time, usually because the sperm tube becomes blocked again. ' Tied End Bulged In sterilization, the v a s deferens, the sperm tube lead ing from the testis to the stor age capsule, is cut or tied shut in the middle. The tied end closest to the body be comes bulged a little, probab ly because of a slight pressure from spermatic fluid in the testis. The operation is per formed on both sperm tubes. In the usual restoring oper ation, the tied ends are re opened and rejoined, bulged end to smooth end. This makes a crooked joint around which spermatic fluid collects, hardens and eventually plugs up the tube again. This crooked rejoining and the blocking by calcified sper matic fluid is the cause of most of the failures, Dr Schmidt said. Bulged Section Removed In his new technique, de veloped in dogs under a grant from the Population Council, Inc., Dr. Schmidt cuts out the bulged section, about half an inch long. He then inserts a tiny polyethylene tube through the skin, into the vas deferens and passes it down past the spot where the cut ends are later sewed together. This hollow splint not only insures a straight joining, but also allows the spermatic flu id to by-pass the sewed spot and dram off Into the band ages. Ends Heal Smoothly In about ten days the ends have healed together smooth ly, the polyethylene splint is removed and fertility has been restored. In Dr. Schmidt's experi ments with young male dogs, microscopid examination of the vas deferens and its sur rounding tissue showed no more inflammation than any other clean wound 30 days aft er operation, indicating that the polyethylene is not reac tive. There was no calcifica tion of spermatic material. Although not yet widely used, the technique has. been tried in a few men and has been satisfactory. Dr. Schmidt believes doctors can now tell patients that surgical sterili zation in men no longer need be permanent. Big Service Station Offers Everything Gramercy, La. If water won't mix with gasoline, how come soup will? The answer can be found here in an unusual gas station called the Moto-Mat. The sta tion is operated by Esso Stan dard as a test center for new ideas in merchandising which are passed along to the com pany's 24,000 dealers. In addition to having his car serviced, a passing motor ist can sip a cup of soup or dine on a variety of foods dis pensed by coin machines. The station has an air-conditioned lunch and lounge area, a din ing patio and children's play ground. Among the station's 18 em ployees are three hostesses who help keep the youngsters entertained in addition to pro viding hotel and motel reser vations and giving travel information. Free Hair Cut Still Available Along Skid Row Chicago (UPD The day of the nickel beer may be gone, but there's still a spot in this city of four million where a guy can get a free shave and haircut - if he's sober. Joe Palopoli, who has been trimming heads 50 years, runs the place, along with 32 stu dent barbers. They cater to the more tidy-minded habitu ates along Chicago's skid row. It's the Chicago Barber col lege and a long line of hair minded bums wait out in front each morning for their periodical trim. As Joe, who quickly admits "I'm the best barber in the city," puts it: "The Salvation Army puts clothes on their back and we clean them up." All Get Top Service But, said Joe, a hobo - just like a banker - wants a good trim. "They'll come in with a three-week beard and a mop of hair half way down their shoulders," Joe said, "b u t they're still vain." "Some want a trim, others say not too much off the back and still others want a neatly clipped crew cut. In any case, they all get top service." "We Just get out the equip ment," Joe said, "and get to work. And if my students don't do a good job I finish it up." Joe admits his is not a gabby shop. "We don't talk to the cus tomers too much," he said. "Our job Is to learn to cut hair. Anyone can talk." Joe says not all of his cus tomers are down and outers. "You k n o w," he said, "sometimes we get guys dress ed up in real good suits and shoes. Business men, I guess. They come in for a free hair cut. T guess they hate to pay the big prices uptown. "It kinda makes mi laugh.' No Drunks Allowed On the wall of Joe's barber shop hangs a sign which is cardinal rule: "No drunks al lowed." "If they're drunk," Jot said flatly, "no haircut. W can't take them if they've been drinking or just coming off t spree. "Their heads roll and they shake a little. It makes my barbers nervous." "Why, you know," Joe add ed, "a customer could get hi ear cut off or his throat cut acting like that." For the record, Joe said they haven't lost a customer yet.
