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

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

Dr. and Mrs, Jouett P. Bray
have returned to their home
on Lozier lane after three

assistant administrator of
UCLA hospital.
In San Diego the Medford
couple visited Mrs. Bray's

They are one of the most ex

around $75,000 worth of truf

"During the harvest sea

Rice, Mushrooms
Stuffing Good
For Holiday Bird
Rice and mushrooms make a
delicious stuffing for the holi
day bird. ' Either white or
brown rice may be used, but
many cooks believe that the
brown rice imparts a richer
flavor, and the quick-cooking
brown rice may be used with
excellent results.
Begin by putting Vi cup fat
(butter or margarine) in a
heavy sauce pan or electric
skillet, and add VA cups un
cooked rice; heat and stir un
til lightly browned. Add 3
cups broth, or water in which
bouillon cubes have been add
ed, 1V4 cups chopped celery,
Vi cup chopped onion, and
one medium can of mush
rooms. Simmer for 15 min
utes or until liquid is ab
sorbed.
Combine 1 box dressing
bread, IVi teaspon baking
powder, 2 or 3 beaten eggs
salt and pepper to taste and
poultry seasoning to taste.
Add to rice mixture. Some
brands of dressing bread in
clude a packet of seasoning.
The recipe may' be varied
by substituting 1 cup chopped
nuts for the mushrooms.
Grapes in Salad
A refreshing salad to serve
is seeded grapes tossed with
canned plum halves and fresh
orange segments. A Blue
