Personally Speaking By JOHN STAFFORD A mammouth struggle which for a short period had possibilities of going down in history alongside such famous encounters as David versus Goliath, Sparta versus Athens and Dempsey versus Firpo took place Monday night in a Medford kitchen Had the Medford struggle achieved historic proportions it would have 'been known as "Stafford versus taffy." At the start Stafford assumed the role of Goliath, while the baseball sized wad of taffy played David. At the finish, the giant had been humbled, and was a tired, mumbling sweaty and highly frustrated human being. The cotton pickin' sticky wad of taffy won the encounter hands down. The whole nightmare start ed with a sudden urge to make some sort of candy. Cook books were consulted. At the evening's end, it was obvious that honey noughat, ginger candy, penuche or good old plain fudge would all have been better choices. Even what the book calls heavenly hash would have been an improvement. Why plain white pull-taffy was selected is explainable only by the fact that the writ er wanted to test his prowess by making something diffi cult. . - - Sugar, water, vinegar, butter and vanilla, were toned into a pan and boiled. This left a syrup which hardened when cooled. At this point the cook book said, "gather it into a lump and pull with finger-tips un til light and porous." This is where trouble started. Pulling was simple for ten minutes. And it did seem to be getting light, however, not too porous. Sensing that some thing was wrong, the pulling continued at a more furious pace. The taffy didn't re spond well to this rough treatment. Whether or not it felt bruised Is not known. But it started rebelling by sticking to the puller's fin gers. When an attempt was made to get it off, it spread between the fingers. Panic set in. No tone else was home. Calling in the neighbors would be embarrassing. Be sides, the door or telephone couldn't be used without de positing a sizeable wad of the stuff on the handles. The obvious answer was an attempt to scrape the goo off with a knife. A large deposit was left on the silverware drawer, The knife proved to be of no help, because It had) incurred the wrath of the taffy also. Another knife was needed to scrape the taffy off of the original. However, it also stuck to the second knife. At evening's end, all knives had been used, with the taffy still clinging to the last one. ' , Water was the next resort, and I am pleased to report that this worked. Although a large wad of taffy was left on the tap handle. The iafiy was finally placed on a pan and put into the refrigerator. Cur rently it is rock hard and about of an inch thick. Heavenly hash will be the next projectl We were pleased to get a call Tuesday from ' Otto Brown,' Crater Lake park su perintendent. Otto Informs us that Crater Lake visitors need not be dis couraged by heavy snowfalls at the lake. The roads are open the year round. The lake is a totally different sight In the winter, according to Otto Its beauty Is unrivaled, he -says. We were also interested to learn that skiing at the lake Is becoming more popular each year.
