In answer to inquiries from Oregon homemakers, Mrs Ruth Klippstein, Oregon State college extension nutritionist, reports that redness occasion ally occurs in well-cooked poultry, pork and other fresh meats, and added cooking does not change the color. However, the home econo mist assures homemakers that these meats, if cooked accord ing to recommended cooking times and temperatures, are safe to eat and the flavor is unaffected by the pink color. Usually when meat is cook ed, its normal red coloring changes from red to gray or brown. Sometimes, however, cooking changes the color to a red Instead of brown plg ment. Although scientists have tried to track down reasons for the occurrence, they have not been able to come up with any single clear cut explanation, she says. They know that small amounts of carbon monoxide, a product of Incomplete com bustion, is often the cause. These gases combine with meat pigment and cast a heat stable cherry redness on even well-cooked meat. If in doubt about "done-; ness" of these meats, try to brown a small amount in a frying pay, or under the broil er, advises Mrs. Klippstein. If the meat stays the reddish color, it is not undercooked. For tile surest guarantee of cooked meat, OSC's nutrition ist recommends relying on Hie internal temperature of meat as told hy an inexpensive meat thermometer. Pork should always be served well-done - 185 de grees on a meat thermometer. Beef may be served rare - HO degrees to 170 degrees for well-done.

Migration Now, looking for new set ting and scenery, the shows have migrated to front yards and penthouses. In recent days, I've watched an all-cotton fashion display from a seat on Mayor Robert F. Wagner's lawn. And for the first time, I've covered a fashion show in, or is it on? a penthouse. The National Cotton coun cil took over the mayor's resi dence for its show in con junction with the presentation of its annual design award to Mrs. Jane Derby. Three designers - one from Honolulu, the other two from New York - held forth at a penthouse belonging to a resi dent in, of all places, my own apartment building. Seems to me a penthouse setting was such a natural that anyone owning same could make a small fortune just subletting to the fashion industry. A designer does run one risk - that of guests torn between clothes and the New York skyline. In this particu lar case the clothes won. Designers were Mrs.- Lorrin P. Thurston, of Honolulu, pioneer in bringing Oriental styling and fabrics to Occi dental wardrobes; Grant Wa ters, who specializes in sports clothes for the college and young career set, both male and female and Dorothy Sours, who believes she is one of the few women in the na tion designing menswear. Borrowed Designs Mrs. Thurston built most of her summer collection around South Korean silks. She bor rowed designs from the tra ditional garb of the east rang ing from variations of a Chi nese banker's coat loosely fit led except for its belted waist, and the shape-concealing muu muu which missionaries in troduced to Hawaiians for modesty's sake. The banker's coat, in print, made a handsome top for skinny slacks in solid colors. And a muu muu chopped off at thigh length was used to top two-piece bathing suits or regular shorts and bra tops. Designer Waters stressed the use of corduroy and cot ton broadcloth mix-and-match outfits, showing how with blouse, skirt, tights, jacket and vestee, the separate portions could be combined into a dozen combinations. Miss Sours, a native of Punxsutawney, Pa., featured sports shirts and jackets of patterned challis or striped wool. All were in muted shades of gray, blue, brown or maroon. Square Dancers Plan Camp-Out Applcgalers Square Dance club is planning a camp-out for members of Bell Prome naders of Eugene Saturday, June 25. A potluck picnic will precede the dance and is set for 6:30 P.m. at the camp grounds located by the Applc- eate store. Club members are asked to lake fried chicken, and guests a potluck picnic meal. Those wishing to attend only the dance, which starts at 8:30 p.m., are to take cookies The dnnre will be held at Provolt Grange hall, with Byron Dibble as caller. All square dancers arc In vited to attend. Caller for the Eii'iene club is Mac Bacon.

MEDFOHD, ORE. Last Saturday we bought what we thought was a hibachi, only now we find out that it's a konro. According to the New York Times and Mrs. Toshiko Niizuma, the hibachi is a room warmer-an Iron pot filled with charcoal and set in a ceramic container. The konro is the cooking vessel, consisting of a deep iron pan with wooden handles and a base; the pan, (only it doesn't much resemble what we call pans 'n this country) has a rack inside for the charcoal, and a grill to set on top. June Owens of the Times started her story by saying that the hibachis only they are really konros are on sale in 100 Woolworth stores in New York City for $7.77, so we might as well tell you that we. bought ours at Med ford's one Woolworth store for the same price. Since Pappy and Potpourri like to cook over hardwood coals or charcoal, and since the big barbecue is a nuisance to fire up for two persons, we decided to buy one of the little oriental-type stoves. It was a Father's day gift to Pappy, and he promptly demonstrated that he could cook a good steak on it. What really started us thinking about one of the little stoves was a conversation with a woman who sat next us at the PTA convention banquet in April. This woman, a Portlander, said her family used one to barbecue meat in the winter when it wasn't convenient to use the outdoor grill. She said they just put the hibachi in front of the fire place, and all the smoke and smells go up the fireplace chimney. (We might point out that this is true only if there is a fire in the fireplace to create a draft.) The next time we use the contrivance whatever you call it we plan to experiment again with our version of shish-kabobs. Using a suggestion we read in some propaganda for the meat industry, we cut wieners in about 1V4 inch sections, strung them on the shish-kabob skewers with little whole canned potatoes and small canned white onions with a bit of green pepper in between. We cooked these over the coals in the outdoor fireplace since everything but the pepper was pre-cooked, in no time at all the wiener hunks and vegetables were ready to eat. We seasoned ours after cooking, but it might be better to dunk them in some type of sauce first. Not being an expert on skish-kabobs, we aren't sure. One woman says she buys the ready-cut stewing beef and cooks it a little while in the pressure kettle, and then uses the chunks to make skish-kabobs. Another recipe which came to the office told how to take small cubes of cheese and press ground beef around the cubes, forming a ball to be cooked over the coals on the long skewers. When it comes to this type of cookery, everyone can play it by ear. Looking back, we see that we sort of forgot about Mrs. Niizuma. The Times story told how Mrs. Niizuma was in vited to cook her version of sukiyaki in the Times kitchen. She used beef top quality cut into thin strips, soy sauce, Japanese soup stock, sugar, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, bean curd, Chinese cabbage and watercress. Seems that the Times kitchen got filled with smoke in the process, and the Japanese cook, who is the wife of sculptor Minoru Niizuma, explained that the Japanese start the charcoal fire outdoors and let it get past the smoking stage before taking the hibachi excuse me, konro, Indoors to start the meal. Mrs. Niizuma says the Japanese cook whole fish, chicken pieces and meat directly on in a mixture of one cup soy grated, a clove of garlic and This sounds good, but where root? And we don't know sukiyaki Pappy suggested that we try growing bamboo. e If we ever meet Bernard Chapman, we'll shake his hand. Mr. Chapman, who is general manager for the Kelvinator division of American Motors, held a press conference in New York the other day and explained why the company recently announced that Kelvinator would no longer make annual changes in its appliances. The company noticed that the public resists buying when only superficial changes are made in a product and then it is put forth as something new, said Mr. Chapman. "Forced obsolescence may have merit in fashion (clothing)" he said, out it aoes not in durable goods. A lot of consumers have known that for a long time, female even doubts that forced adolescence has much merit in the clothing field, especially in the medium and low-priced range. Mr. Chapman displayed a washing machine which had 32 changes but none on the plained mat "mere had been a growing number of com plaints from customers about the servicing of their ap pliances." That, also, we'd heard before, about many dif ferent kinds of equipment. So his company made a con centrated effort to rid the washing machine of "bugs" he said at the press conference, reported by the New York Times. The story said that three of the major changes were re-arrangement of the legs to cut down vibration, a new water valve that cuts down water consumption, and the use of an epoxy resin finish for the tub to reduce corrosion. The research on appliances will go on, said Mr. Chapman, and only when there are actual Improvements will the models be changed. No more "annual" models. O.S.

Planning for Widowhood Said Good Idea for Women Corvallis If surveys on marriages are heeded, today's woman can expect to spend 15 years of her life as a wid ow. Yet, most couples plan for the future as if the hus band will be the surviving spouse. Preparation for widowhood, while both partners are alive, Is wise planning, believes Mrs. Roberta Frasier, Oregon State college extension family life specialist. Since separation by death may occur at any time, she suggests that young,, as well as older couples, develop and maintain a plan for the future. Nationwide surveys show that 700,000 marriages are broken by death each year, and in two-thirds of these the wife is the survivor. She suggests that young couples ask themselves some of these questions. Should the wife, if wid owed, plan to work while the children are small or devote full time to mothering? How could she supplement her in come and still provide care the children need? What s her potential earning ability? How much preparation would she need to get a job? Of course, any plan for the future should be revised as family, age, health and chil dren's needs change, the OSC home economist notes. Financial planning offers helpful experience to both husbands and wives in looking toward the future, she says. The wife should learn to bal ance the checkbook, fill out income tax returns and con duct family busines. Young families should seek an attor ney's help in planning a will. In addition to planning for the future, couples should ex change ideas about funeral arrangements following death. Where would each pre fer to be buried? What kind of a funeral? Any .decisions which, can be made in ad vance and held in reserve provide the survivor wi t h ready-made answers in a cri ses. Regardless of the age at which the family is broken by death, the survivor may as well realize she'll face lone liness. There's no formula for quick recovery from bereave ment. She suggests that wom en develop new interests and friends, and try to maintain their own homes, at least for several months or a year. Preparation for widowhood can and does develop before marriage will weather widow hood and other crises after marriage.

They should also try to enlarge their circle of friends, develop independent personalities, and more indi vidual interests, she says. Women are encouraged to find one - or more close con fidants in addition to their husbands. A doctor, minister, good friend or relative are suggested. Mrs. Frasier recommends that husbands and wives cul tivate some separate Interests apart from activities they do together. Mothers can also help their daughters, mature "emotional ly" and encourage them to postpone marriage until they have developed some market able skill or prepared them selves for a professional career-as an insurance policy for years ahead. By the .time women reach 70 years of age more than half of them are widowed. However, widowhood is not limited to the older age groups. It's ostimated that one out of ten women between 45 and 54 is widowed and one in four in the 55 to 64 age bracket is in a similar situa tion. Ten years ago, there were 6 million widows in t h e U. S. Today, there are about 8 million. Chances of their remarriage are slim. Only about two widows in 1000 over age 65 remarried, ac cording to a 1950 survey.
