Lctitia Baldrlge, who will serve as socal secretary to Mrs. John Kennedy, said "I imagine she will entertain a great deal, Jackie has all the gifts, the charm and ability necessary to be a hostess. She was born to the role. "She knows that entertain ing Is a powerful weapon in creating good relations among people." Miss Baldrlge, a friend of Mrs. Kennedy's for 20 years, called her a "young woman of many interests and many tal ents , , , her first thoughts are for her husband and fam ily, of course. But things will be lively at the.Whlto House."

Bruce, a Democrat, dur ing his ambassadorship in Paris from 1848 to 1951, and for Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, Kepubllcan, when she was am bassador to Italy from 1Q53 to 1056. "I come from a GOP fam ily." she laughed, "but it's quite Democratic now." "But this job," she added seriously, "Is one outside poll tics." Miss Baldrlge - Tish, to her friends - was born In Omaha, Neb., the daughter of a prom inent attorney, H. Malcolm Baldrlge, who served In Con gress during the Hoover ad ministration.

It Is odorless, non-flammable Women's News Social Events Medford Woman Receives Article About Sister City Medford's sister city, Alba, in Italy, is the subject of an article in the October 10 is sue of the Italian magazine, Qualtro Ruote-Four Wheels. A copy of the magazine was sent to Mrs, Russell Herbert, native of Italy now living in Medford, by her brother. The magazine article pointed out that Alba is one of Italy's most interesting and historic cities, and urged Italians who had never visited it to do so. Mrs. Herbert translated the article into English, and brought a copy to The Mail Tribune. It is entitled "Alba Capital of the Truffle." Mrs. Herbert's condensed transla tion is as follows: "Alba is located on the right bank of the river Tan aro, 59 kilometers from Turin, the capital of Piedmont. As for latitude, Alba is situated exactly half way between the North Pole and the Equator. The inhabitants are cordial, good-hearted, easy going and proud of their city with its arcades, public squares, foun tains, boulevards and shops and stores rich in merchan dise. Everything is neat and clean without extravagance, with the same order and pro priety which can be noticed in visiting the neighboring farms. "Alba Is over 2,000 years old. Its history is known since the year 89 B.C., when its name was known as Pompeia, in honor of Fompeo Strabone, a man who worked hard to accomplish its affiliation with the City of Rome. Illustrious Citizen 'One of Alba's most illus trious citizens was Publio Elvio Pertinace, born in the year 128 A.D. and elected to the Imperial Throne of Rome on January First 193 A.D. He had hard luck as he was too honest and tried to work out a program to promote reform and changes to fight the cor ruption in the Court of Rome at the lime of the Decline of the Empire. He was stabbed to death by the Pretoriani on the 28th of March of the same year. His reign lasted only 87 days. "Alba was the birth-place of several fine artists, one of them Macrino d'Alba (1470 1525) was one of the best painters of the Renaissance period in Piedmont. "Alba did not stand for any foreign domination and fought many battles for her independence and freedom. She fought alone, sometimes she won, sometimes she lost, but always she found the strength to rebuild herself, even from ashes, as happened during the barbarian invas ions. She lost all the monu ments and relics from the early Roman era, but she still has beautiful monuments from the Middle Ages. From the original 100 towers, now only six remain and they are beautiful. Cathedral Outstanding "The outstanding monu ment of Alba is the Cathe dral, first built before the year 1000, then destroyed and rebuilt in 1484, then gravely damaged by an earthquake in 1626. It was rebuilt in its pres ent form in the year 1868. Breathtaking for its beauty is the hand-carved circular row of seats for clergymen, Con sisting of 35 different stalls, each stall has a bizzare fan tasy of hand-carved figures, such as palaces, churches, fruits, animals, etc. The carv er was a celebrated artist of the Fifteenth century, Ber nardino Fossati. "Alba is well known for its grapes, around 4000 varieties Grocery Bills of Working, Non-Working Wives Compared X By JEANNE LESEM United Press International New York - tUPO - Working wives don't neglect their fami lies' nutritional needs or spend , f a r more , money on groceries than i their stay - at home sisters. But the working wives ; buy more ex pensive kinds 1 o f f o o d, r c- i . ! i ports a gov- jeanna i.esora eminent sur vey of food consumption hab its." Their weekly food bills average only 56 cents more per person than those of non working wives at a similar in come level. Only slight differences in nutritional levels wore record ed between families with working and non working homemakcrs. More than 25 per cent of those questioned for the U.S. department of ag riculture study held full or part time jobs outside their homes. Seventy per cent work ed full time. Convenience looas," often cited as a working wife's best friend, are just as consistently used by those who hold no out side job, the survey found. The stay-at-home, in fact. are bigger consumers of one type of "convenience" product flour mixes. Apparently working wives prefer the even greater time-saver of ready-to-serve baked goods, instead of baking at home, either from scratch or with mixes. More Meat They also buy more meat. fish and poultry per person, and spend more per pound, in dicating a preference for more expensive cuts or types. They use more fats, oils and beverages than other families. Working wives serve fewer cereal products and dried fruits and vegetables, but more canned ones, except for baby and Junior foods. Greater quantities of cheese and luncheon meats are also served by employed home makers, many of whom take a home-packed lunch for their noon meal on the job. Family size affects food and work patterns, the study show ed. Working wives generally come from smaller families, except at the lowest Income level, tinder $2,000 a year. Ann milk consumption was noticeably higher in families where mothers do not have outside jobs. This group has a larger proportion of chil dren under 16. Eating Out Eating out is more frequent when a wife is employed, and more money is spent on such meals, the study showed,. This "may be considered a time or energy-saving device, in the same category as the use of bakery products in meals prepared at home," the report explained. But it did not indicate how much a working wife's earn ings actually contribute to higher food bills, how much she adds to her family's in come, or how her earnings In fluence her food buying pat tern. Asked to comment on these findings, a husband we know said: "My wife's job certainly does affect her food buying. We have steak so often I'm getting tired of it, and the kids are rebelling." Brays Return From California Dr. and Mrs, Jouett P. Bray have returned to their home on Lozier lane after three weeks spent in California. In Los Angeles the Brays were guests of Dr. Bray's son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Lundy. Mr. Lundy is assistant administrator of UCLA hospital. In San Diego the Medford couple visited Mrs. Bray's daughter, Mrs. Joe Tice, and the group made a trip to Tiju ana and Ensanada. Returning to Los Angeles, they visited with Dr. Bray's son, Max Bray, a research scientist who recently perfected a device which measures, the contents of jet plane fuel tanks. He is scheduled to address the Los Angeles Science academy No vember 28. En route home, Dr. and Mrs. Bray were guests in San ta Cruz of Mrs. Bray's broth er, Mack Brown, and in Red ding they spent some time with Dr. Bray s son, Lee Bray.

Plinius, the Elder, has praised the delicacy of its grapes, wines and truf fles. "Truffles look like pota toes, but are in reality a form of mushroom. Their harvest is from the middle of Septem ber to the end of December. They are one of the most ex pensive foods, from $8 to $16 a pound for the white ones, and from $3 to $8 for the black. The average harvest is around $75,000 worth of truf fles per season. "During the harvest sea son, everyone is allowed to dig for truffles even on oth er people's land; the only re quirement is to leave the place neat, and not to pile up the soil, but to put it back in its place after digging. "The digging is done by dogs. There is a unique school for training the dogs, it is the only one' in the world of its kind. A good trained dog is worth approximately $150 The most famous dog of Alba Camp Fire Girls Yus-Ta-Kin-Ta-Gab November 10 our group met at the home of Mrs. Howard Patrick, our leader.
