MEDFORD, OREGON
Medferd't Flnir JaweU.t and Silversmiths. Serving So.
Oreien an.' Me. Cilllomla trade area, for over thirty yean
eating habits made for the diet
dressing division of Carter
Products, Inc.
In the survey, weight watch
ers differed from dieters by
cutting calories generally or
avoiding fatty foods, instead
of following a strict regime,
either on doctor's orders or
at their own discretion.
Smaller families diet or
watch weight more than larg
er ones, the study showed.
Lower income families are
less interested in weight con
trol than those in middle,
middle-upper and upper in
come brackets.
Women are more diet-con
scious than men. Of 4,500 per
sons interviewed, 47 per cent
of the women wanted-to lose
weight but only 34 per cent of
the men. Sixty-six per cent of
the women who considered
themselves overweight are
housewives.
More Men Overweight
Men probably are more
overweight but less concerned
by it," said Charles A. Tuck
er, general manager of the
diet dressing division. "Near
ly half the men interviewed
who are overweight by actu
arial standards said they ate
as they pleased."
Geographically, men's and
women's eating habits are sim
ilar until emotional problems
or other worries, arise. Then,
the" survey showed, women eat
more but men eat less.
Many men said their appe
tites grow when they're hap
py. Dieters also tend to cat
more than usual when they're
worried or tense, while weight
watchers are as likely to eat
less as more.
Age often determines rea
sons for counting calories.
Fifteen to 30-year-olds want
to look better and have their
clothes fit better. Those 50
and older are looking out for
their health.
The study also indicated
that younger women usually
diet more in June, July and
August. Older women diet
more generally throughout
the year.
Reasons for calorie-counting
vary seasonally. Heavy holi
day eating triggers December
and January dieting. March
through May, the slimming
down is in anticipation of sum
mer's revealing attire. Come
summer, the figure she cuts
in a bathing suit causes many
a woman to cut calories.
' But none of this is made
easier by a practice revealed
by the survey of using higher
calorie dressings with higher
calorie foods. The largest sin
gle use for mayonnaise is in
sandwiches, potato, chicken
and tuna salads, and gelatin
foods.
Fat Report
A constant threat to expand
ing waistlines exists in lavish
meals served by international
airlines. But one line that serv
es a low-calorie filet mignon
dinner on request has few
takers. Catering manager Rolf
Bickcl estimates that 85 to 90
per cent of the passengers who
order a la carte eat richer
meals.
Visits
Fred Copsey, son-in-law of
Mrs. Clayton Walker, 020
West 11th street, is visiting
in Medford from his home in
Kodink, Alaska. He will be
here until next Monday.
"I'm in the Navy," said the young man who sat next
to Potpourri on the bus run from Centralia to Portland
Monday afternoon, "And I hate it. I'm counting the days
until I'm out." We commiserated with him and asked him
what didn't he like about the Navy. "Everything," he
answered promptly and then afler a bit of thought added,
"I guess what gets my goat the most is the pettiness.
They make such a stew about little, petty things that don't
really count. And the things which are really wrong they
just pass over."
For almost two hours the two of us talked. The sailor
who had been made into a barber by the Navy said he was
from Chicago, not yet 21, the oldest of 10 children born into
a Catholic family. When we inquired if his mother and
father were able to "manage" such a large family he quickly
said "You're darned right they can. Dad isn't above taking
the strap to anyone who gets out of line. I've had plenty
of licks in my day. And my Mom really knows how to run
the house. Every kid big enough to work has his share of
cleaning and believe me, if the job isn't done well, he hears
from Mom.
The young man said he began contributing to the family
finances at the age of nine when he started setting pins in
a bowling alley. "The folks took a third of everything I'
made, and convinced me that it was right. I'm glad they
did. I soon learned how much it costs to feed and clothe
so many people. And I always had enough left to spend as
I pleased. It gave me a sense of responsibility.
When Potpourri inquired if he had gone to a Catholic
high school, he said part of the time. "The folks sent me to
public school for two years, but the school was so crowded
that we were on a half-time schedule and I wasn't learning
nothing (his words). So they sent me to a parochial school.
It was a lot better than the public school."
A comment about something along the highway brought
out the remark "I know this highway by heart. I'll bet I've
made the trip from Bremerton (where he is stationed) to
Portland a hundred times." There could be only one answer
to this a girl and Potpourri was right. When we pointed
out that maybe he better marry the girl and quit spending
so much time and money on the road, he replied "I can't
get married. I haven t any money. Besides, she keeps saying
'don't hurry me. I want time to make up my mind'."
As the pavement unrolled under the wheels of the bus,
the reporter learned that'the sailor had only two weeks left.
but that he had been granted several days leave. His grinning
recital of the schedule he had been keeping in order to woo
the Portland girl left us gasping. He had been granted week
end liberty, left Bremerton Friday night and traveled all
night to get to Portland, stayed in that city Saturday and
until so late Sunday that he had been behind schedule re
porting for duty Monday morning. Within the hour he had
picked up his leave papers and was back heading south on
another bus.
"That's not all," said this determined young lover, "The
minute I get back on the base from my leave in Portland
I'll ask for and get another week end liberty and start for
Portland again." I began to believe that if he had started
this some time ago, he might indeed have made a hundred
trips between northern Washington and northern Oregon in
the past two years.
There just remains one little question in this taxpayer's
mind. When does he do his barbering for the Navy?
. The young sailor and the not-so-young reporter didn't
spend all their time talking about his efforts to be with his
girl as much as possible so that she wouldn't forget him
in the six months he plans to spend In Chicago right afler
being discharged. (He wants to earn a lot of money and
convince her they have enough to set up house-keeping.) ,
He told us about a movie that he had Just scon. It was
about the possibility of an atomic war, what role Navy men
would play in such an event, and what the results of such
a war might be. "The officer (he gave his name, but we
fail to remember it) told us that if Russia and the United
States go to war, we can count on 50 million people being
killed within the first five days. I don't think he got across
to us. It's kind of hard to have a man tell you that, and
then pick up the papers and read th Khrushchev and
Eisenhower are talking big at one anuencr. Who's 'kidding
whom? I don't get it. It wasn't so long ago that Russia was
our ally in a war."
The reporter assured the young man that he wasn't the
only one who "doesn't get it" and admitted that the front
page news frightens a lot of civilians, of all ages and in
all positions.
From war talk it was natural that we should turn to
politics and the coming political convention and the young
man said that since he wasn't old enough to vote, he hadn't
given much thought to the coming election. However, he
volunteered the Idea that It seemed to him the people
weren't having much say-so in who the candidates were going
to be. This complaint we heard any number of limes. And
for some strange reason, although we talked about the
coming convention with any number of people, we can't
remember hearing anyone say they were supporting cither
Kennedy or Nixon, The Democrats were for Johnson, Sym
ington, Stevenson or half a dozen others, and several said
"the whole darned thing was fixed In New York and Wash
ington. What have we got to say about it, anyway?"

ington is ideal for these flowers, and the Lyons have about
150 varieties this year, several of which wore new
to us. We saw Eastern Bonnet, a large, full pink; Duchess
of Edinburgh, a pink with tulnl stripes in the petals; Summer
Snow, a large double white; Silver Slipper, a white with
a faint tinge of red coloring; Tu Tu, which true to its name,
is a very full white and lavender that resembles a ballerina's
short skirt; So Big, an HI with pink pointed sepals, pink
flush and very long lobe and Fantasy, a blossom with a
flat white corolla and sepals of pink and white flush. The
HI and H2 on the tags Indicates that these varieties like
a little more heat than others, we learned.
Of course, the Lyons have the huge purple and red Voo
Doo. Lotus, Waltz Time, Southgate, a favorite with this
gardener although we've never added one to our meager
collection. Another we saw for the first time was Jack
Sharon-or maybe Sharon Jack, (we can't make out our scrib
bles) which has a rosy red tube and sepals and a corolla of
bengal rose.
We also toured the Lyon's private garden and saw a
clump of the enormous Oympic hybrid lily which has a
gorgeous blossom and an utterly fascinating fragrance. Sit
ting among the shrubbery was a big pot holding a five-foot
fuchsia tree of the Cardinal variety. Mrs. Lyons says she
has learned to convert the trailing varieties to tree fuchsias,
and to trail the uprights.
The Lyons have a trick worth knowing they cover the
baskets with plastic, fitting them around the base of the
plant and extending the cover only to the edge of the
basket or planter. This helps retain the moisture.

Woman Tells Problems of
Being Taken for Actress
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York - Elizabeth Dreg
man Is growing used to people
mistaking her for Elizabeth
Taylor.
One day, Mrs. Bregman
Joked, she might be so famous
costume
mm
Okj Pauley
Jewelry de
signer that the
movie queen
will be mis
taken for her.
The design
er is at least
on h e r way.
In three and
onc-lmlf years
her firm" has
grown from a staff of one -Mrs.
Hrrgmann and a couple
of New York outlets to 25 pro
duction and office employees
and sales in better stores na
tionally. Mrs. Bregmnn Is about the
same age as the actress and re
members as a teen-ager seeing
Miss Taylor In her first big
movie hit, "National Velvet."
"Even then," said Betty
Bregman. "people said we
looked alike."
Today, the resemblance Is
striking enough for fans of
Miss Taylor to ask for Mrs.
Bregmim's autograph and for
fans of Debbie Reynolds to
treat her as If she had taken
Eddie away from Debbie. Sev
eral have hissed, "home-
wrecker."
The designer has the samo
blue eyes, heavy arched brows
and Jet dark hair as the ac
tress. Her flguro may be a little
less voluptuous. She weighs
110 pounds, stands five feet
four inches in her sock feel,
and measures 37, 25 and 37.
When Mini Taylor was in
town recently to do some
scenes for her new movie,
"Butlerfleld 8," dozens of New
Yorkers asked for Mrs. Ureg
man's autograph.
"I Just tell 'em, 'You've got
the wrong gal' ", she said.
The designer created quite
a stir when she and her hus
band, Martin, an insurance)
company executive, weiil to
see the movie "The Hut lluco"
which stars Miss Reynold.
"You could hear the buz. In
the theater," laughed Mrs.
Ilreginiiu. "I unos a lot of
people thought, well, Miss
Taylor's got a lot of nerve to
do that."
Does her husband re.ieinblo
either the late Mike Todd or
Eddie Fisher?
"Oh lordy no." she said.
"He's always being taken for
Hock Hudson."
